Will the Islamophobia never end?
“Young boy killed and three kidnapped in Palm Sunday attack in Nigeria,” Open Doors, April 2, 2023:
A young boy has been killed and at least three people kidnapped, including a pastor, in an attack on a church in northern Nigeria on Palm Sunday (2 April) by suspected Fulani militants.
Pastor Gwadue Kwaghtyo was leading an early morning prayer vigil at the church in the village of Akenawe in Benue State on Sunday when gunmen stormed in. “As they were praying, they were surrounded by the armed men,” reports Salome Tor, Chairman of Logo LGA. “They kidnapped three people, killed one boy and injured two people with a machete; they are now in the hospital.”
Some reports indicate that four people were kidnapped. Pastor Gwadue Kwaghtyo is among those reported to have been taken.
The incident highlights the heightened risks facing millions of Christians during Holy Week. In many places, services are more regular and prominent, and this can further expose believers to hostility. Believers in Nigeria are especially prone to violent attacks; last year, more than 5,000 Christians lost their lives for their faith – that’s more than anywhere else in the world combined. The country is sixth on the World Watch List….

Perhaps these “fulani herdsmen” are of the personal opinion that they have become transers..
Young Christan children are evidently the enemy of both transers and mozlums who herd cattle.
The two groups should just merge and be done with it. Hatred of Christians is profound.
And it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out why.

The Islamophobia will never end until Muslims stop doing appalling things like this above.

The fake, the so-called ugly word “phobia” is not the problem. Being Kafirphobic causes a lot of damage to this world. Jihad and sharia adherent bastards already succeeded in converting the good old middle east to the ‘sick world view of an imoral bedouin from 14 centuries ago which poisons everything’ (as Ataturk put it). But that does not mean that they will succeed in conquering the entire planet. Many mideastern muslims who learn about their glorious pre-islamic past, along with the inhumanity of jihad and sharia, as seen in the examples of blood thirsty islamic state and al qaeda bastardization, leave islam for other world views, and this has increased in the past decade. That’s also true for any other part of the so-called muslim world. Any human being can know that if God exists it’s not the god of muhammad’s.
