The State Department says that “a mob” killed Deborah Samuel Yakubu. It does say that the attack was “fueled by hatred and blasphemy accusations,” but never bothers to explain exactly who accused her of blasphemy. To say that this was Muslim-on-Christian violence, which it was, would be “Islamophobic.” The State Department will honor her, but those who don’t already know the story are out of luck.
“US Honours Sokoto Student Killed by Islamic Fanatics,” This Day, August 25, 2022 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
The United States Department of State has honoured slain Sokoto student, Deborah Samuel Yakubu.
Deborah, a 200 Level student of Home Economics at Shehu Shagari College of Education, Sokoto, was murdered by Islamic extremists and set ablaze after she advised her classmates against posting religious materials on their WhatsApp page.
In marking the US International Day Commemorating the Victims of Violence Based on Religion or Belief, on August 22, Deborah’s picture was uploaded on the website of the US Office of Religious Freedom….
Honouring Deborah, the office wrote: “In May, a mob brutally stoned, flogged, and burned to death college student Deborah Samuel in Nigeria, in an attack fueled by hatred and blasphemy allegations, even as authorities attempted to stop it.”
“We honour her life as we continue the work to end such vicious violence.”

If they’re not bothered to remember who murdered her, why bother remembering her in the first place? In the absence of that context, she’s a nobody: people die all over the world every day. People are killed all over the world every day

It is not easy to say the “authorities tried to stop it” and keep a straight face. She ran to the police, and the police allowed the “mob” of mozlums to take her and murder her.
bobiden must keep his friends from getting upset with him, and the head cheese, er mozlum, must be his friend…he did give him a lot of weapons to fight “the terrorists”…er, the citizens who oppose the terrorists….those “herdsmen”…who are continually murdering Christians across the country. and not a word of condemnation.

Grimly true, Somehistory. Thanks for reminding us of that. Police allowing Jihad murders is all too common.

they believe that we either don’t know, have forgotten the facts, or we just don’t care any more than they care. so, they can lie. and who will hold their feet to the fire?

How can they hope to end such violence if they won’t say what motivated it?

Do they “hope to end such violence”?
