Christians are being murdered in Nigeria, but for the BBC, President Trump was wrong to point that out: “The US president showed little understanding of a very complicated and intensely politicised crisis.” It seems that President Trump has a bad habit of defending Christians: “Mr Trump has always been quick to jump to the defence of Christians in conflicts such as Syria and Iraq and comments like this play well to his base among Evangelical Christians in the US.”
What is so complicated about the conflict in Nigeria? “It is a widely touted refrain that the conflict between farmers and herdsmen constitutes a ‘genocide against Christians’. It is hard to support this claim with any fact: there have been many killings on both sides in this conflict.”
This is wildly misleading. Christians have been massacred frequently in Nigeria, as you can see here. On a small number of occasions, Christians have fought back. But the BBC’s contention that this is a conflict in which both sides share equal responsibility is flatly false.
Note also that in the video above, Buhari thanks Trump for decimating ISIS, with which Boko Haram was affiliated. That doesn’t make the BBC report, which does its best to make Trump sound moronic. Actually, Trump’s question to Buhari was about the girls that Boko Haram kidnapped, and Buhari answered it as the serious question it was.
“How Trump stirred controversy in Nigeria,” BBC, May 1, 2018 (thanks to Damian):
Nigeria’s Muhammadu Buhari became the first president from sub-Saharan Africa to visit Donald Trump’s White House on Monday. But even after they neatly avoided Mr Trump’s alleged comments about “shithole” African countries, the US president managed to stir controversy in Nigeria, writes the BBC’s Stephanie Hegarty from Lagos.
Perhaps warning bells rang when Mr Trump started off asking Mr Buhari how he was getting on with “that Boca Haram”, a reference to militant Islamist group Boko Haram.
But then again, maybe that slip of the tongue was predictable.
Less so was what he said next, as the former reality television star weighed in on the conflict between herdsmen and farmers in Nigeria’s Middle Belt – or the way in which he would frame it.
“We have had very serious problems with Christians who are being murdered in Nigeria,” Mr Trump said. “We are going to be working on that problem very, very hard because we cannot allow that to happen.”
‘Genocide’?The US president showed little understanding of a very complicated and intensely politicised crisis – one which has a battle between nomadic cattle herders and settled farmer over access to land and grazing rights at its centre.
But perhaps it should not come as any surprise. Mr Trump has always been quick to jump to the defence of Christians in conflicts such as Syria and Iraq and comments like this play well to his base among Evangelical Christians in the US.
But his point of view also plays into popular feeling among some Nigerian Christian groups.
It is a widely touted refrain that the conflict between farmers and herdsmen constitutes a “genocide against Christians”.
It is hard to support this claim with any fact: there have been many killings on both sides in this conflict.
But the recent attack on a Catholic church by suspected Fulani herdsmen and the murder of 17 people, including two priests, have added fuel to the flames of those who want to frame the conflict in this way.
After that attack a priest in the area told the BBC he was doing what he could do prevent young Christian men from his parish launching random reprisal attacks on Muslims. Clearly then, Mr Trump’s words then make for dangerous rhetoric….

Donald MacInnis says
Ha. BBC is useless garbage. Reporter’s are paid puppets.
Sons of Liberty says
The BBC is doing what they always do creating a diversion AWAY from the truth . Muslims have been at work trying to turn Africa into a Muslim continent and Christians stand in their way by spreading the Gospel ! So, along comes the BBC to say it is a conflict between cattle herders and farmers . So, when Muslim jihadists attack Christian churches and kill Christian pastors and their families it’s because of some land use dispute . Seriously ? Now we see the evidence that the BBC is always running interference for the Muslims not only in Africa but in their own country as well !
gravenimage says
Yeah–the only “land use dispute” is that Muslims believe that every land belongs to them.
Richard says
Yes – listening to the BBC radio a week or two back I heard a report on FGM – a full 5 minutes without mentioning Islam once.
Immediately followed by a one sentence comment about fake news – which inevitably mentioned Russia.
Now whatever you think about these issues it is clear that FGM is much more closely identified with Islam than fake news is with Russia.
gravenimage says
Disgusting, Richard–but no surprise.
James says
Pointing out that the sainted Muslims, thanks to The Prophet Mohammed (fleas be upon him) murder Christians, is a *huge* no-no these days in Britain. Christianity is regarded in the UK media much as paedophilia was regarded 20 years ago: as an unspeakably disgusting perversion not to be mentioned in polite society, that only maniacs, morons and fools would admit to professing. Nazis are hardly more despised. Christianity is regarded as little less than the epitome of all evil.
Joy says
Excellent & precise analysis!! But such clarity and understanding of the REAL, core problem (Muslim invasion & conquest) is a problem for the useless and disgusting lying/ignorant BBC!!

The BBC IS LYING … EVERY YEAR, 1,000 to 2,000 Nigerian Christians have been murdered because of their religion between 1990 and 2018.
That’s a minimum total of 30,000 CHRISTIAN NIGERIANS murdered by Muslims since 1990.
BC says
I have stopped listening to BBC after they fired one of their producers for asking a cab company to send a none Muslim cab driver to collect her daughter. A perfectly reasonable request one might think, but the BBC has to be so PC. for doing something to protect her young daughter in her own family time.
The BBC also only gives news they think you may hear. Not word about what is going on in EU cities and other locations where non Muslims are being persecuted and murdered
Michael Copeland says
The BBC employs a number of muslims. They will be influencing on its news coverage.

Defending Christians, why should Trump do that when the BBC, and Her Majesty’s government routinely arrests Christians for defending their faith. You cannot defend Christianity, such defenders are arrested for ”Hate Speech” or shut up by the state paid Church of England vicars.
Your church or spiritual leaders won’t defend the West or its peaceful religions new and old from Islamic attacks and polemics. The West is militarily capable of destroying Islam but does not have the cultural backbone to do so.It is up to us to spread the word about the dangers of Islam, the falseness of the Prophet Muhammad and the apocalypse his followers will bring.
See the following sites for Christians taking the fight to Islam, David Wood and Jay Smith are the best-especially Jay Smith at Speaker’s Corner, London UK. Both are Americans, go figure.

Still that $Million dollar question remains. Why are Africans so brainless ans really stupid to become Muslims all in slave worship of their ideological Arab overlords–all in the name of a colonizing Arab Islam.
Ray Jarman says
Souare,
Your response, “Still that $Million dollar question remains. Why are Africans so brainless ans really stupid to become Muslims all in slave worship of their ideological Arab overlords–all in the name of a colonizing Arab Islam.” can be answered by the fact that Africans, like all of the Near East was islamitized by the hordes from Arabia by the sword. Nowhere in the world, including Africa, did any group of people willingly accept the lies. Robert Spencer has repeatedly stated that without the sentence of death for apostasy, this cult would have disappeared centuries ago. Unlike the people of the west and even the far east, members of the cult are unable to accept the truth as the Christians who for centuries proclaimed that the earth was flat recognized their error when brave men like Galileo Galilei and Nicholaus Copernicus proved otherwise.

Many Catholics think this Pope is a heretic who believes in communism more then the gospel ,do not put all Catholics on the side of Islamic appeasers most are not. It would be like if you though all Americans were Islamic appeasers when Obama was president .The current Pope is atrocious ,but he will have God call him home one day ,he will be judge by God at that time, hopefully a new Pope will undue some of the great damage this Pope has done. The great alliance is between the Progressives and Islam ,both haters of Judeo Christian principals ,many progressives love this current Pope by the way as he peacocks Islam, and communist beliefs to please the media and progressives fools in power in Western Europe.

The nauseating thing as far as we are concerned in the UK is that it’s compulsory to buy a TV licence to pay for for this bent corporate cesspit, otherwise they might send their goons round to threaten to turn your place over – if you’re daft enough to let them in (there are possibly still videos on Youtube featuring the official media stasi at work). Their muslim bias has been evident for years, and they boasted a muslim Head of Religious Broadcasting some years ago (not sure who’s in the job now – not bothered!). I avoid them like the plague, but if I watch their news broadcasts it’s only to see what they leave out and how they twist what they put in. I believe that a lot of people are waiting to see what happens in the current Cliff Richard debacle, where they stand to lose £millions if the singer wins his case. Considering that it’s a UK megastar involved here, it’s very odd that the press have been very quiet on the proceedings – hardly a word. Makes one wonder if there’s something they want to cover up.

dumbledoresarmy says
You wrote – “The Nigerian leadership is primarily Mohammadan. They are two-faced liars who are running cover for the slow Mohammadan extermination of Christians, Animists, Christianity and Animism in Nigeria”.
That is my conclusion, also. I reached it a good while ago.
The leadership of the military and the police in Nigeria – which country is about half Muslim and half *non-Muslim*, most of the Muslims being in the north and most of the non-Muslims in the south, with a ‘middle belt’ where neither system dominates – is basically mostly Muslim. So Muslims dominate the entire country and run it for their own benefit, and they will do ZILCH, zip, nada, diddly squat to genuinely deter or punish Muslim aggression against non-Muslims. I don’t trust Buhari as far as I can throw him. He’s playing goodcop to the Boko Haram badcop, but essentially, he’s a Muslim working toward the goal of Islam – Total Domination.
Same as in Egypt, where Al-Sisi spouts flowery nothings – goodcop – while the various jihadi gangs and common-or-garden ordinary Muslims, in neighbourhood mobs, commit atrocities against the indigenous Christian remnant.
Ray Jarman says
Dumbledoresarmy,
I agree with you regarding the demographics of Nigeria but unfortunately there are two problems facing the country. First is the lack of voter enthusiasm by the non-muslims as well as a lack of a cohesive party to take on the party of islam. The second reason is that if an honest man were able to challenge the ruling party, he would be killed I still receive emails from some friends there and they feel so helpless. Maybe the meeting with our president will lead to some improvements there for USAID gives millions of our dollars there.

What to expect from BBC, REMEMBER when the jihdists slaughtered thousands of Christians in the CENTRAL AFRICA REPUBLIC?

When 15 year old Kriss Donald was kidnapped, tortured, and murdered by Pakistani muslims in Glasgow the BBC did not even mention it. It spoilt their narrative.
Likewise the mass murder in Baghdad’s main Christian church during a service was not mentioned until two days later, and was described as a “disaster”.
jayell says
Isn’t it strange that Kriss Donald hasn’t been canonised and a day in the calendar officially named after him, nor his mother elevated to the House of Lords – like someone else we all know?

savage mad devil trump represents the mindset of mithraist christian barbarians In Nigeria passing false informations that It is only mithraist christians that are murdered from conflicts between Fulanis and farmers as if it is only mithraist christians who are farmers and all fulanis are Muslims to give an impression that president Buhari being a fulani by tribe and a muslim must have given tacit approval for Fulanis to take revenge against mithraist christians who kill Fulanis, rape their beautiful ladies with large foreskins and take away their cows.

Why would this even bother Ibrahim itace muhammed? He has affirmed that Musims can kidnap and rape Infidels, that all goods belong to Muslims and can hence be taken from non-Muslims, and may slaughter anyone who does not submit to Islam.
His only issue is that right now such an admission makes Muslims look bad, and may slow the genocide against Christians in Nigeria.

Ray Jarman says
Ibrahim itace muhammed, You can go to hell as I lived in Nigeria and I know you are full of crap. I was there when your sorry cult members slaughtered villagers in Jos because a female tourist accidently strayed onto land owned by a mosque in 2003. I have encountered the Fulani as they were escorting the Emir of Sampre State to Abuja. The Emir told me while I was having dinner with him one evening that even he feared the Fulani. As they have slaughtered villagers for no reason other than they can, the Emir proved to be perspicacious.
Giulio Meotti of Gatestone reports that a Christian asks, “Why do they [Western people] think Islam is a religion of peace? These people have been killing us for decades and your media just ignores it. Now they are killing you and still your President Obama [had] called it a peaceful religion. We see Western leaders saying that over and over again. Why?”
In Nigeria 16,000 Christians have been slaughtered in Nigeria since June 2015. A report by International Society for Civil Liberties & the Rule of Law revealed: “The estimated 16,000 deaths are specifically composed of 2,050 victims of direct State violence, 7,950 victims of police custody or captivity killings through racial profiling and unprofessional crime detection management, 2,050 victims of Boko Haram insurgency and 3,750 victims of terror Fulani Herdsmen killings”.
I pray that my Christian friends in Nigeria rise up and take matters into their own hands as the Buhari Government seems to love the Fulani. Since the non-muslim population out numbers you pieces of s***, I think that you inbreds will have a tough time.
Ibrahim itace muhammed says

Linda says
Muslims have no concept of “critical thinking” or “debate”. They are only statically brainwashed from birth not to question what they’re taught about what Mohammed said and did. So, when someone says anything they disagree with, first, they are offended. Next, they get angry. Lastly, they want to kill the person who even dared to disagree with them. If they can’t immediately kill that person, their next best solution is to stop the person they disagree with from speaking, so they launch vicious verbal attacks against that person to insult them and discredit them until they shut up. It doesn’t matter that what they are saying about the person is patently full of false accusations. They will say anything and at that point, they don’t care whether their information is true or false.

gravenimage says
As Lavéritétriomphera notes, Christianity and Mithraism could not be more different. Mithraism was a martial cult, Christianity anything but.
The *only* links between these creeds was that both were popular in Rome in the early centuries of the common era, and that some early images of Christ used the image of this sun god as a halo. This is no more significant doctrinally than early images of the Madonna and Christ child being based on ancient Egyprian gods Isis and Horus.

The younger UK citizens have been indoctrinated with Globalism for several generations now.
Only a Christian revival will save our country.
Most Brits have said they do not want YHWH God. He is giving them their own way. They just don’t know yet that they cannot pick which parts of Christianity they want to hang onto. eg The legal system based on the Law of YHWH God.
Thus having dismissed Him from their lives, and telling Him to stay out, they are about to discover what life without him is really like. Sharia is already being practiced from within the British legal systems, English and Scots. The sentences of the child rapists are just one example of this. It will get worse.
In fact the last Christian Revival in the UK was on the Island of Lewis in the Outer Hebrides in 1948. The First Minister of Scotland sent Syrian refugees there to join other Muslims living and working there. They are at present building a mosque over the site of the Revival – just what Islam does. Thus we know that in Lewis, the Muslims are sticking to what Islam teaches. The local churches do not seem to understand the significance of this from a Muslim point of view.

Yes–this is what supremacist Islam does.

This story immediately brings to mind the incident where all those little farmer girls were taken hostage and forced to convert to being herdsman to keep from being raped. Even Michelle Obama piped up about that one.

Grimly amusing.

Oh they target christians who are a MINORITY somehow did they mean that they wanted to target other muslims and they keep making mistakes. NO, plain GENOCIDE IN ACTION here. It is them who are showing little understanding of a very complicated and intensely politicised crisis. And I would like to add, a blatantly RELIGIOUS DISCRIMINATION AGAINST CHRISTIANS. Shame on you BARBARIANS OF THE 7TH CENTURY with no modern sophistication of human equality in the 21st century.

It is about time someone American step up to allow Christians to spirit our faith for the citizens of Africa. BBC does not have a say in what we do or say here. BBC can keep to their Queen shows and parades. I will say my children are better looking then london’s at that. We Americans GOT IT ALL. Other countries can not figure this one out because they do not have our God.
