A Christian was murdered and burned beyond recognition after New Year’s prayer meeting
A 38-year-old Christian and four others were attacked by Fulani jihadists. Adamu’s Muslim attackers warned that it was only “the first attack for the new year,” and that more would be coming in 2022.” Why? To spread the Sharia.
It is mind-blowing how Western appeasers fall for the “Islamophobia” subterfuge while jihadis massacre Christians and other religious minorities wantonly in the name of Islam.
“Christian killed after New Year’s prayer meeting,” by Jennifer Lee, Christian Post, January 4, 2021:
Christian man was killed and “burned beyond recognition” after being attacked on his way home from a New Year’s Eve prayer meeting in Nigeria.
International Christian Concern (ICC) said Adamu Sunday, 38, was attacked along with four others who were injured but survived.
They were returning home from a prayer meeting held annually for the Christian communities of the Irigwe chiefdom, Middle Belt, central Nigeria.
The attack has been attributed to Fulani militants.
One survivor told ICC that a Fulani militant warned them during the attack that this was only “the first attack for the new year” and that more would be coming in 2022.
An unnamed survivor told ICC, “It was God that saved my life. I don’t know how I escaped. It was God that saved me.”
Another source told ICC that authorities have ignored the threats against Christians.
“This was the second time [the] Fulani promised an attack on one of the communities, and the government of Nigeria doesn’t want to protect them because they are Christians,” he said.
ICC is asking Christians to pray for an end to the violence against believers in Nigeria.
ICC President Jeff King was critical of the Nigerian government.
“Attacks of this nature have been ongoing for the past 20 years and the silence is deafening,” he said….

This will continue until Christ puts an end to it as He promised. The government…not much governing going on by the mozlum in charge…has as much hatred for the Christians as do the individual “fulani herdsman.*
The mozlums will not do anything to put an end to their mozlum buds murdering, burning, raping, kidnapping…because they are in favor of those things.
And since Christ said to His followers, “The world hates you,” the rest of the world ignores the slaughter.
Christians need to pray for God’s Kingdom to come and for His will to be done here on earth.

This is true, Somehistory–but Christians are not being violently targeted everywhere. This is mostly happening in Muslim countires, or those with large Muslim majorities. Nigeria could certainly do something about this–if not end it entirely–if they actually cared. But under Buhari they don’t.
somehistory says
Jesus said, “When they persecute you in one city, flee to another.”
It isn’t happening this way everywhere, but what Jesus said about it happening is also true: “The world hates you as it has hated me,”
And this hatred is shown by the persecution and by the ignoring of the persecution.
It is happening in NK and china, also.

Nigeria: Muslims murder Christian after New Year’s prayer meeting, say it’s ‘first attack of the new year’
……………
*Horrifying*–this poor man.
And I’m sure that like a lot of people, I often note “firsts” for the new year for the first few weeks of January, especially positives–but attacks on innocent people? Not so much.
God, I hate Islam.
Westman says
Nigeria is gone. It’s Constitution allows Shariah courts both federal and state. When Islam has that influence other religions will be persecuted, followed by denials.

Almost the entire northern half of the country is under Shari’ah law.

What is preventing the southern half of the country from adopting Shari’ah law?
