Imagine if Christians anywhere destroyed 1,125 mosques. The outcry would be immediate, sustained, impassioned — and justified. There would governmental studies and lavish media examination of Christian “Islamophobia.” But no one will take any particular notice of this.
“Boko Haram: EYN asks Nigerian govt to rebuild 1,125 churches razed by insurgents,” Daily Post, January 23, 2019:
A Christian denomination based mostly in the Northeast, the Church of the Brethren in Nigeria, otherwise known in Hausa language as Ekklesiyar Yan’uwa A Nigeria (EYN), has appealed to the federal government to rebuild its church branches razed by Boko Haram insurgents.
The EYN says Boko Haram has destroyed a total of 1,125 of its church buildings and other structures over the years of insurgency. These include its headquarters office complex, which has been rebuilt, a church auditorium which is yet to be fully reconstructed, and an adjacent pastor’s residential quarters where reconstructions work is yet to start.
The noted that buildings at the headquarters were destroyed on October 29, 2014 by Boko Haram, forcing the EYN to move its headquarters to Jos, Plateau State. It returned to its original base, Kwarhi, in 2016.
The President of the EYN, Rev Joel Billi, made the appeal for the reconstruction of all its destroyed churches, on Tuesday during the 2019 Ministers’ Annual Conference which took place at the EYN headquarters in Kwarhi, Hong Local Government Area of Adamawa State, asking the Adamawa and federal governments to expedite action in rebuilding places of worship, houses and shops that were destroyed by the Boko Haram elements.
Expressing some measure of anger as he inched further into his speech, the EYN president asked, “For how long are we going to wait in vain? We are tired of fictitious promises. Are worship places not included in the rebuilding of the Northeast? Is Adamawa State excluded from the rebuilding of the Northeast?
“Why are we flagrantly neglected as if we deserve to be punished? If not for the inadequacy of our security forces and political undertone, Boko Haram would not have overrun us. So, why do we pay for the sin that was not committed by us?”…

For those Muslim of Nigeria who gathered together and destroyed 1,125 church building shows their awful intolerance for Christians and Christianity, yet in spite of this and many other similar actions of Muslim violence towards Christians and Christian property and still many apologists and propagandists for Islam in the Westerns countries ,as in the USA , yet have the blatant lying gall to made the bogus claim that Islam have great tolerance and is even favorable to Christians and Christianity.
In addition, it should be noted the “Respect for private property is one of the very foundations of civilization.” So the Muslim violence and destruction the the church buildings further exposes Islam as a lawless and uncivilized religion.
Frederick King says
It is odd that there is never any world wide outrage over churches destroyed by muslims. Never. Muslims are forever the religion of peace.

Never a word from Trudeau the Islamist terrorist nor the pandering grovelling Canadian Media. Nigeria is a significant source of blood oil for Quebec.

Canada has a lot of its own oil–they have no need to deal with Nigeria at all.

Based on things I’ve been hearing in the U.S. about a red MAGA cap being a “triggering mechanism,” it’s because these Christian churches are also triggering mechanisms and if you see something that triggers you, it’s not your fault if you lose control of yourself; it’s the fault of the person or thing that pulled your trigger. Just smiling could pull another person’s trigger. So in today’s world there can be no more churches — or smiling.
CogitoErgoSum says
In fact, I would say the reason each of those men in the picture above is wearing a hood over his face is because of fear that a smile might trigger somebody …. and we all know that men wearing hoods do not trigger anybody. We should all start wearing hoods over our face …. just don’t choose to wear a white one.

CogitoErgoSum,
No churches, no smiling, no telling of truth, no refusing to bow to those who have decided these things.
CogitoErgoSum says
And that is why all women should wear a burka. Even a woman wearing a hijab may accidentally smile at a man and trigger him to rape her ….. which would totally be her own fault.
Terry Gain says
In his June 4, 2009 paean to Islam in Cairo, Hussein Obama said “Islam has a proud tradition of tolerance”. It was not Obama’s first lie. Or his last.

Barbarians and psychopaths. A bunch of useless human beings. Those who support them are nearly as evil.

“Imagine if Law Enforcement Officers anywhere destroyed 1,125 Mafia dens and Hells’ Angels clubhouses. The outcry would be immediate, sustained, impassioned — and justified.”
Oops.
Nice Try, Spencer LOL!

“Imagine if Christians anywhere destroyed 1,125 mosques. The outcry would be immediate, sustained, impassioned — and justified”.
I disagree. . Just why would an outcry against Christians, or anyone for that matter, destroying mosques be ‘justified’?
We all have seen what nice and tolerant gets us. Brutality is all these savages understand. If the West had any real balls mosques would indeed be destroyed or converted. They’re nothing but pagan temples to false gods and should not be allowed to be built in any Western land.
gravenimage says
We don’t destroy pagan temples in the West, either.
Our being tolerant is not the problem–we need to rigorously enforce our laws against savagery, which we are not doing.

Oh, precious Jesus Christ, help the people affected, I pray this in Jesus name, Amen.

Those Muslims of Nigeria along the Muslims of other countries ,as Pakistan can’t refute and cause Christianity with her many Bible doctrines to collapse with theological debate , or rational debate , logic or reason. .For Christianity is too strong to collapse under the collapse under the pressure of those as four things just mentioned .There many Muslims resort to destroying church buildings because in the minds of a large number of Muslims a church building symbolizes the Christian faith.
In other words they cant destroy Christianity so they destroy symbols of Christianity.
Its’s also worth noting that unlike the Christian doctrines the Islam’s doctrines and beliefs will collapse under the pressure theological debate, rational debate , logic or reason. Therefore, many Muslim nations of have set up and enacted what are known as “blasphemy laws.”
