If the international media took any notice of this at all, which they will not do because it doesn’t fit their global narrative of Christian oppressors and Muslim victims, it would take the form of hand-wringing articles about “Islamophobia” in Nigeria.
“Islamist Militants Kill, Kidnap Christians in Northeast Nigeria,” Morning Star News, November 4, 2020:
JOS, Nigeria (Morning Star News) – Islamic extremist militants in northeast Nigeria attacked a predominantly Christian village near Chibok, Borno state on Sunday morning (Nov. 1), killing 12 Christians and kidnapping women and children, sources said.
In Takulashi, less than 10 miles from Chibok, where Boko Haram insurgents kidnapped 276 Christian girls in 2014, the assailants arrived with automatic weapons on six gun-trucks and three heavy-duty vehicles and shot anyone in sight, said area resident Ishaku Musa.
“They also burned down houses and looted food items from our houses,” Musa told Morning Star News by text message. “At the end of the shootings and looting, which lasted about two hours, 12 of our people in the community were killed, three women were kidnapped and also four children were abducted by the Boko Haram attackers.”
A church pastor was among those killed. Villagers suspected the assailants were militants of Boko Haram, which seeks to impose sharia (Islamic law) throughout Nigeria, as the group is known for attacking villages and Christian communities, whereas a Boko Haram break-away group, the Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP), usually attacks military installations.
The terrorists invaded the village at about 9 a.m., when church services were taking place, Musa said….
Nigeria ranked 12th on Open Doors’ 2020 World Watch List of countries where Christians suffer the most persecution but second in the number of Christians killed for their faith, behind Pakistan.

So sad. We are now consumed with the presidency. I pray that President Trump by a miracle will serve another four years. If Biden is elected you will see no help for things like this. The president has achieved so much in the Middle East and elsewhere and I expect him to continue to do that if reelected.

All true.
Drew says
I completely agree! I am praying for Trump to win also!
Lynette says
I agree wholeheartedly. Biden has stated he will permit 700,000 refugees into the USA!! How many of these are true refugees, how many are islamic followers who will never take on our values but WILL try to change them, bring in islamic sharia laws, underage marriage to babies and chi
Nothing but violence and hatred ahead.

2,000 Christians are murdered by Muslims every year in Nigeria. The Muslim-led government is allowing it.
Ray Jarman says
What can one expect when a Fulani slug is elected president. Buhari is Fulani and President Trump told him that the Christians must be protected and if re-elected, I am betting that he does.

I bet Biden won’t mention anything about this.
Ray Jarman says
Can’t disagree even a little bit.

It’s the last fact in the article that is depressingly worse than just Muslims killing Christians for a stupid reason. Pakistanis always seem to be on the edge of mob rule, followed by a military coup. Add a dash of anti Semitism, nuclear weapons and illiteracy. Shake and threaten to burn a Quran. Or maybe another border attack on some random Hindu temple. It’s so easy to trigger Muslims, or at least millions of them, just by pointing out an unpleasant fact about Muhammad. The Charlie Hebdo charicateur was a softball and see what happened. The country was born half brain dead.

DavidR says,
“The country was born half brain dead.”
That’s actually rather generous…
DavidR says
(Since I can’t edit my mistakes I’ll just properly redo it.)
After softball, “Add a dash of anti semitism, superstitious thinking, illiteracy and general despair, then shake it up and see what happens.”

Nigeria: Muslims enter Christian village, start shooting, murder 12 people, kidnap women and children
…………….
Just horrifying–the poor victims. Yet most in the West know nothing about this.
tonyjoe says
does al Sharpton and Farrakhan know about this?
Andrew says
The silence of the Pope in the Vatican is deafening to my ears.
The USA should stop ALL monetary Aid to Nigeria immediately and if these muslim savages dont want Christians in that country then we should bring all of them to America right away, unless they wish to stay there.
Alice W says
Absolutely!
Lion heart says
I wonder where is our tv show “ the social “ in Canada talks about Christian persecution by Islam !! they are only professional in demeaning trump !! and imagine if Christians killed Muslims , we would see the social show and all the leftists talk about it for months !! and I am a Canadian Christian guy originally from Iraq.
Mauricio says
You see? This is my Christian ‘s faith point of break: why is it that we Christians need to be the ones chased and hunted down. And why is it that Muslims are always the persecutors and hunters? Jesus said: “Blessed are you when they persecute you…” “…turn the other cheek…” and all the blood of the Martyrs in which the Church is founded… But ala said: “kill them wherever you find them…” “…strike the necks of the unbelievers…” and all the blood shed by the attackers by which the muslim creed endures. It’s like anyone who believes in one God, the Resurrection of the dead and eternal life is bound to either kill or being killed. Masochism and sadism at a spiritual level; the “hunter and hunted” game played real and in masses within people that have faith. Ones are martyred by attacking, others are martyred by being attacked. And martyrdom is the Crown and main goal of people with faith. Something seems to be wrong. Do we need another Revelation or could it be that we are misunderstanding the one we already have? Oh Lord, please help us.
Linda Gusch says
Oh, Lord, give us the strength to help ourselves to FIGHT BACK, INSTEAD IF WAITING AND PRAYING FOR OTHERS TO HELP US!!!
GOD HELPS THOSE WHO HELP THEMSELVES!!

Christianity is *not* a suicide pact.
Isaiah A.O. says
We continue to pray for Christians in the North East and Christians in Nigeria. The Christian genocide in Nigeria is alarming. We have a secular constitution in Nigeria but people are cowered to embrace Islam either by force conversion or by lure of money for our young Christian women in the Northern part of the country. The middle belt must take the destiny of their fate and faith into their hands. The country is no longer safe with wave of herdsmen attack, banditry, kidnapping for ransome, ritual killings etc. We only pray that if we are to go our separate ways there will not be blood letting. This is gradual ismalization of the country northern oligarchy. God will break the seige of islamphobia on Nigeria n Christian s in Jesus name.
