“Make ready for them all that you can of force and of warhorses, so that by them you may strike terror in the enemy of Allah and your enemy, and others beside them whom you do not know. Allah knows them.” (Qur’an 8:60)
“Two Christians Murdered After Christmas Caroling in Nigeria,” International Christian Concern, December 29, 2021:
12/29/2021 Nigeria (International Christian Concern) – While driving home on a motorcycle last week after a night of Christmas caroling, three Christians were ambushed by gunmen suspected to be Jihadist Fulani.
“Two were killed with bullets and a female survived dangerous bullet wounds,” said a community activist while confirming the attack. “She was rushed to the hospital for a medical check-up, we pray she survives the bullets wounds.”
“Gideon Amba (33), the driver, and Laraba Sunday, (16), one of the passengers were confirmed dead… Veronica Sule survived gunshots wounds and was hospitalized, they are all from my community.”
A Christian youth leader in the area told ICC that the government had “abandoned them to the mercy of Jihadist gunmen.” He added that the Fulani militants were killing Christians daily, while American’s and the rest of the international community are keeping silent.
“Ambushes are not new to us,” he said. “We lost over 300 people in an ambush without any effort by the security to arrest the terrorists… Fulani (militants) are killing Christians…but some are still referring to it as a clash.”
Mr. Musa Avia Aga of the Irigwe/Rukuba Plateau State house of Assembly condemned told ICC that the government not condemning the attacks or finding lasting solutions has contributed to the increase in violence. “Everywhere is unsafe and we cannot rely on the available weak security coverage that we have,” he said….

The Pope and Christian countries ignore this
Rafael says
Christians have nowhere to go when they are persecuted. Which Christian state grants asylum to persecuted Christians? But when it comes to Muslims, they accepted many of them as refugees, even though they are safe in their original Islamic countries. I don’t believe there is such thing as Christian country, a person is a Christian, a state is not. But I got your point.

Some Christians *have* found asylum in the West. But the West should be actively rescuing Christians from Dar-al-Islam instead of importing violent Muslims. Topsy-turvy world.
mortimer says
Muslims object to Christians ‘displaying’ their faith in public. That is a violation of the ‘Dhimmi Contract’ or the ‘Pact of Omar’.

Spot on, Mortimer. From the Pact of Umar:
We shall not manifest our religion publicly nor convert anyone to it…
We shall not display our crosses or our books in the roads or markets of the Muslims. We shall use only clappers in our churches very softly. We shall not raise our voices when following our dead…

Add to this the Islamic ban on any melodious singing, as well.
mortimer says
Christians will have to hire private security firms to protect them if they police forces are all compromised and filled with jihad-sympathizers.

I think any Christians trying to defend themselves in Nigeria will also be targeted by the government there.

Just horrifying–these poor Christians.

All grimly true. Buhari himself is a Fulani Muslim, and is doing next to nothing to stop these Jihad attacks. And the West barely notices them.
Linde Barrera says
I just sent an email to President Biden using “Contact the White House” and asked him to cut US foreign aid to Nigeria by 75% due to the killing of Christians in Nigeria by Boko Haram. I also stated that most of the elected officials in that country are Muslim so they do nothing to stop that jihadist group, Boko Haram.
How do you think President Biden will react?
James Lincoln says
Linde Barrera,
The fraudulent Biden administration will act as if they had never received your email.
At least you tried…
gravenimage says
I don’t think you will ever hear anything, Linde. Thanks for trying, though.
PaulW says
Considering that President Biden, on waking up each morning, cannot determine if he is a potted plant or the President, will likely do nothing at all. But at least you tried.
