An international human rights NGO, The Jubilee Campaign, “has submitted research and data to the International Criminal Court contending that the standard for genocide has now been reached when it comes to the massacres of Christian farming communities in Nigeria by Fulani militants.”
These “Fulani militants” are jihadists, often referred to as “Fulani herdsmen” to draw attention away from the fact that they are Muslims who are murdering Christians for their faith. This genocide of Christians is not limited to Nigeria, either. In 2018, the US House passed legislation “to aid Christian and Yazidi genocide victims in Iraq and Syria.” And a month before the decapitation of a nun in the Central African Republic during over two weeks of violence which killed at least 30 people, Fox News reported that Christian persecution in central Africa was close to “genocide levels,” although it was being largely ignored due to “political correctness.” That is, people are afraid of being called “Islamophobic” for pointing out the fact that of the top 16 worst countries for Christian persecution, all are majority Muslim countries except two: North Korea and India.
Much more awareness needs to be raised about Muslims persecuting Christians and other religious minority groups. Action needs to be taken by the International Criminal Court and human rights defenders to stop this, and to aid the persecuted minorities. Several days ago it was announced that the Trump Administration had launched a multi-million-dollar program to save Christians and Yazidis from extinction by jihadists.
“Fulani killings of Nigerian Christians meets standard for ‘genocide,’ Jubilee Campaign says,” by Samuel Smith, Christian Post, July 22, 2019:
An international human rights NGO has submitted research and data to the International Criminal Court contending that the standard for genocide has now been reached when it comes to the massacres of Christian farming communities in Nigeria by Fulani militants.
The Jubilee Campaign, which advocates on behalf of religious minorities across the globe and successfully petitioned the ICC to indict Boko Haram for their killings across northeastern Nigeria, submitted its new report “Nigeria: The Genocide is Loading” to the ICC’s investigative offices in Hague last week.
The report documents the increasing scale and severity of Fulani militant attacks against predominantly Christian farming communities in Nigeria and chronicles at least 52 Fulani militant attacks between the start of 2019 and June 12.
“Nearly every single day, I wake up with text messages from partners in Nigeria, such as this morning: ‘Herdsmen stab 49-year-old farmer to death in Ogan,’” human rights lawyer and Jubilee Campaign Director Ann Buwalda said during a panel discussion in Washington, D.C, this month.
“Frankly, I don’t know where Ogan is. I don’t know this 49-year-old farmer. But when I wake up and read that, ‘I weep.’ It’s the conscience of all of us around the world that need to weep when we read that. If you get that every single day and that’s how you wake up, you realize that it is up to us to do something.”
While the Nigerian government and others have written off the Fulani militant attacks as merely part of a decades-old “farmer-herder clashes” between Fulani herdsmen and farmers in the Middle Belt, the Jubilee Campaign report pushes back on that notion.
The report states that Fulani extremist attacks are not only happening with greater regularity and severity but also appear to be premeditated, target civilians, and focused on Christian-populated villages as well as churches…..

There is absolutely no Christian genocide going on anywhere in the world. This is propaganda and lies fed by Islamophobes and Christian Zionists. The situation in Nigeria is land issues, farming issues where these farmers are killing the cows of Fulani herdsmen and not because they are Muslims.

Please don’t tell me this was because of bad Obama policies and that Trump is different from Obama because he is NOT when it comes to persecution of Christians worldwide. Trump still funds and supports islamic jihadists states and groups like all the presidents before him did! More of this story below:

Isn’t Islam teach muslims to hate the ‘kuffar’ and subdue them and kill them if necessary? Islam is indeed a cult of hate and evil, the imam below will tell in clear words. A Canadian muslim imam:

Lying through his teeth!!!
“There is absolutely no Christian genocide going on anywhere in the world. This is propaganda and lies fed by Islamophobes and Christian Zionists. The situation in Nigeria is land issues, farming issues where these farmers are killing the cows of Fulani herdsmen and not because they are Muslims.” What a joke!
The biggest deceit ever!
There absolutely is absolute Christian genocide going on all over the world! The denial of this fact is the propaganda and lies fed by Christianophobes and jihadist terrorists. Land issues? Sure, the fact that the land belongs to Christians and the muslims want to take it away from them as part of their global jihad takeover that they think ‘allah’ has bestowed upon their laps! What hooey!
Grow a brain and get a clue!
Lydia Church says
1. Most of the persecution is from muslims, and you are going to deny that I suppose?
Do you really think everyone is as stupid as your types are?
2. I’ll bet a lot of this goes back to language and terminology deceit. When you plug in the right terms according to them “people are dying” because “someone did something” then you get down to it with less denial.

This is grimly hilarious, given that on on one of the recent threads here about Muslim genocide of Christians in Nigeria, “Muslim2019” crowed that Muslims were well on their way to slaughtering all Christians.

Made up…yet this Imam was honoured for saving over 240 Christians by hiding them from these “Herdsmen”.

Few are even aware of the mass murder campaign in Nigeria. Everybody’s forgotten about the Yazidis, true refugees who never got refugee cards. For one of the few that’s been reported at all, the plight in Burma has been turned on its head where the murderers are the sufferers.
A well operating fictive reality requires elision as much as provision.
Agostino Armo Pellegrini says
…NGO says Muslim persecution of Christians in Nigeria is at genocidal levels
For me the worst criminality about all this is the complicity of the left in ignoring and downplaying these murderous facts. As an average layperson I find it deeply troubling to see many of our “educated” leaders act so glib in the face of these horrors but then act incensed over rational critics of the ideology that cause them. To any reasonable fair minded person I am NOT a bigot for noting the obvious connection between islamic doctrine and the crimes muslims do–It’s not bigotry, it’s a reasoned observation. And I resent being called a bigot (like I was last week by a relative) simply because I care about murder and terror for a politically motivated religion.
I will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve. ~ Allah
slay the idolaters wherever you find them ~Allah
I will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve. Therefore strike off their heads and strike off every fingertip of them~ Allah
Those 7th century barbarities of muslims are what compel them up to this very day to kill and terrorize on a genocidal scale as credible sources report. When I look at the totality of all that islam has been, is, and will ever be, I know with Mount Everest sized certainty that I am not a bigot for criticizing islam. I am on the side of the humanitarians like Robert Spencer who care enough to tell others the truth in order to save lives and preserve our best human rights. The real bigots in all this are those leftists who make this a race issue when it isn’t and who forsake the victims of islamic terror so they can pander to their muslim constituency at home. Nigeria is so far away, but their voters are here. Such people are traitors to human rights and their respective country, and to me they are paragons of shame and disgrace among humans.
