Time for the UN or Human Rights Watch or Amnesty International to issue a new weeper about “Islamophobia.”
“Over 50,000 Christians Killed in Nigeria Since 2009 Islamic Uprising: Intersociety Report,” by Jude Atemanke, AciAfrica, April 14, 2023 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
Thousands of Christians have been killed in Nigeria since the Islamist uprising began in 2009, a recent investigation has established, further revealing that “1,041 defenseless Christians” were put to death in the first 100 days of 2023.
The latest report by the International Society for Civil Liberties and Rule of Law (Intersociety) indicates, “Since the 2009 Islamic uprising, 52,250 Christians and 34,000 moderate Muslims have been butchered or hacked to death.”
“30,250 of those have been killed since 2015, when President Muhhamadu Buhari came to power,” authors of the report by the Intersociety, a research and investigative rights group, which has been monitoring and investigating religious persecution and other forms of religious violence by State and non-State actors across Nigeria since 2010, say.
According to the report by the human rights group that does research and investigation by direct contacts with the victims, eyewitnesses, media tracking, review of credible local and international reports, interviews and closed sources among other methods, thousands of Christian deaths are attributed to “Jihadist Fulani Herdsmen”.
“The 52,250 Christian deaths in Nigeria in fourteen years recorded addition of 9,250 Christian deaths from the July 2021 figure of 43,000; out of which, Jihadist Fulani Herdsmen accounted for 6,000 Christian deaths and security forces, Jihadist Fulani Bandits, BH, ISWAP, Ansaru and others 3,250,” the report released on Tuesday, April 11, indicates.
“Buhari’s radical Islamism since 2015 had killed 30,250 Christians and attacked 18,000 churches and 2,200 Christian schools,” the authors of the report say, and add that since 2009, “14 million Christians have been uprooted and forced to flee their homes and 800 Christian communities attacked”.
Authors of the Intersociety report say that “Christians of Benue, Kaduna, Plateau, Taraba, Niger, Borno, Yobe, Adamawa, Kebbi worst affected in the attacks,” and that Christians living in Eastern Nigeria have been “worst hit in Nigerian military killings and property destructions on ethno-religious grounds.”…
In the 2023 investigation, Intersociety researchers found that “no fewer than 1,041 defenseless Christians were hacked to death by Nigeria’s Jihadists in the first 100 days of 2023 or 1st Jan to 10th April 2023.”
Their investigations established that “not less than 380 Christians were slaughtered by Jihadist Fulani Herdsmen in 100 days in Benue, 102 in Kaduna, 150 in Christian parts of Niger State (Paikoro, Munya, Shiroro, Rafi, etc), 100 deaths in Borno, Yobe and Adamawa by BH/ISWAP); 32 Christian deaths in Plateau, 20 in Ondo, 11 in Edo, 10 in Delta as well as Kebbi 10 deaths, Bauchi 9 deaths, Taraba 14 deaths, Katsina 10 deaths, Enugu 6 deaths; and 60 deaths arising from the military killings in the East since Jan 2023 and others 50 deaths.”
“Also, no fewer than 707 Christians were abducted within the same period; out of which Niger State recorded more than 200 abductions including 14th March 2023 abduction of over 100 Christians in Adunu (Paikoro),” the Intersociety researchers say in the report signed by their Board Chair & Lead-Researcher, Emeka Umeagbalasi….
The latest Intersociety report also makes reference to its 2022 report, saying, “5,068 Christians (were) hacked to death in 2022 and hundreds disappeared without trace.”
The organization “emotionally” dedicates its investigative report to “1,041 slain and disappeared victims of the Jihadist Fulani Herdsmen and other Jihadists’ genocidal attacks carried out across Nigeria in the first 100 days of 2023.”

52,250? That’s a high number, not to mention those who were and still are kidnapped and disappear without returning to their families. I believe the number is higher. I heard some sources claim that between 60-100 thousand died.
Ray Jarman says
I bet that not one major cable news network will relate any of these facts and the three major networks will never mention any of these findings while posting any made-up story about a Muslim female having a scarf or hijab pulled off. It is time for a little courage to be shown by the western media.
gravenimage says
Ray, this story has been covered by a handful of Christian news sources, and then some anti-Jihad sites, and one conservative site, the Heritage Foundation. No major networks, cable news, or major newspapers or newsmagazines.
Clifford Fodor says
If one, two, three, or four Muslims are murdered by an infidel, this would be headline news around the world–like the shootings in New Zealand
John Smith says
Agreed Clifford that’s always the way. muslim atrocities never get the coverage that they should.

Very true, Clifford and John.

The violent and vicious Muslims who are jihadists of ISIS in their murderous persecution of Christians aren’t really going to get away with their destruction of Christians. As the apostle Paul had written each individual Christian is actually, in the View of God, a temple of God. For to Christians, it is written in the Bible “Don’t you know that that you yourselves are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit dwells in your midst? If anyone destroys God’s Temple, God will destroy that person; for God’s temple is sacred, and you together are that temple.” First Corinthians 3:16,17. [N.I.V.] As in “A man reaps what he sows.” Galatians 6:7.
Joan Deaver says
I understand it’s from the Bible, but it
Doesn’t make sense.

How does “a man reaps what he sows” not make sense? This seems pretty straightforward to me.

tim gallagher says
I wonder what the Pope and all those other fools who keep telling us that islam is basically peaceful think of those appalling numbers of murders by the endlessly violent, murdering Muslim scum. If a person enjoys murdering people then islam is the cult to join. islam even says that there is a god who is pleased by people who murder other people for simply not believing in that evil version of what god is. What an evil religious ideology islam is.

Good question, Tim.
somehistory says
islam is from satan the devil and all those who adhere to it, are making themselves the children of that demon snake, the arch enemy of Jesus Christ, Who called satan a “thief” who “comes to steal, kill and destroy,” and also “the father of the lie,” whose children do “his desires.”
fulani herdsmen, militants, boko haram, isis, bandits, terrorists, and whatever else they choose to be called, are still making themselves the children of the devil.
And the “world” that hates Jesus, cheers them on.
Muriel says
Time that United Nations concentrated on supporting the Christians in Africa as it is being drastically decimated by very vicious attacks by Muslims. It is a shame that Africa is becoming a despite place to live and soon the Western World will suffer the same fate if we keep protecting this religion of peace when it is not.

Nigeria: Muslims have murdered 52,250 Christians in jihad attacks since 2009
…………………………….
Just horrifying–and yet, this ghastly figure is probably an undercount.
Alexandra Smith says
Over 43,000 deadly attacks around the world at least since 9/11. Add to that the 270 million people around the world dead since the inception of Islam. 80 million Hindus alone.

James Lincoln says
If you do the math, it works out to be about 10 Christians murdered / day by muslims in Nigeria.
On average, every day for the last 14 years.
All while Christian leaders in the West yawn…
somehistory says
James, I did the math, but only in my head.
Probably they would have murdered more every day, but they devoted some of their evil to rape. And of course, over-eating and complaining about the fake phobia, while they thought up ways to get more **funding** for their terror campaign.
And to my way of believing…”rotten trees, rotten fruit”…any “Christian leaders” who ‘yawn’ about this are not very good “leaders” and not truly “Christian.”
OLD GUY says
Think about this Nigeria 52,250 CHRISTIANS murdered, thats just one country, can’t imagine the total world wide. Islam a religion of love and peace, B.S.
somehistory says
Mr. Raymond Ibrahim regularly posts about how many in each nation, and the totals. It’s difficult to read.
NoTaqiyya says
I don’t know who is more depraved. Those who actually believe that you earn your ticket to the garden of earthly delights of the moon god, when you ruthlessly murder innocent people, simple for not believing in the moon god with a heart of stone, and his apostle must always be included.
Or most of the human rights NGOs, who along with most of the corporate media intentionally ignore reporting the over 52, 250 Christians murdered in Nigeria alone since 2009.
Worth emphasising that this staggering number does not include the world wide murder of Christians, Hindus, Buddhists and all the other people by the followers of the peaceful religion of peace.
