Christian persecution in Muslim countries is rooted in Islamic supremacist hate and intolerance of pluralism; it is also rooted in Islamic doctrine, which divides the world into the House of War (Dar al Harb) and the House of Islam. In normative Islam, it is the duty of Muslims to force disbelievers (the House of War) to become believers or accept the hegemony of Islamic law (the House of Islam) as a primary duty. If infidels refuse to become Muslims, then they are relegated to the inferior status of dhimmitude, and face a range of abuses.
In Nigeria, where the persecution of Christians is at alarming levels, local prelates have issued a warning:
The ongoing slaughter of Christians in Nigeria is part of a “hidden agenda” to convert the nation to Islam, an agenda that reaches to the highest echelons of the nation’s leadership. Father Valentine Obinna, a priest of the Aba diocese in Nigeria, told the online Catholic news outlet Crux that the recent murders of priests and other Christians are not isolated events but are tied to a long-term program of the “Islamization of Nigeria.”
Islamization does not stop in Nigeria. It is the plan for the world, in accordance with normative Islam.

The ongoing slaughter of Christians in Nigeria is part of a “hidden agenda” to convert the nation to Islam, an agenda that reaches to the highest echelons of the nation’s leadership, according to local prelates.
Father Valentine Obinna, a priest of the Aba diocese in Nigeria, told the online Catholic news outlet Crux that the recent murders of priests and other Christians are not isolated events but are tied to a long-term program of the “Islamization of Nigeria.”
“It’s obvious. It’s underground. It’s trying to make the whole country a Muslim country,” Father Obinna said. “But they are trying to do that in a context with a strong presence of Christians, and that’s why it becomes very difficult for him,” he said, in reference to Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari.
The reason Christians have become targets is that Buhari and those in power “want to make sure the whole country becomes a Muslim country,” and they are using Boko Haram and the Fulani to achieve that objective, he said.
“People read the handwriting on the wall,” Obinna said.
In one of the most underreported stories of the year, Nigeria has seen rampant attacks on the Christian population of the country.
A recent report by the Jubilee Campaign asserted that 52 lethal, anti-Christian attacks took place in Nigeria during the first six months of 2019.
Meanwhile, the Nigerian-based International Society for Civil Liberties and Rule of Law declared that some 2,400 Christians were killed by the Fulani in 2018 alone. And Nigeria’s Daily Post reported last year that from June 2015 to June 2018, Fulani militants “killed 8,800 Christians and other non-Muslims,” torching “not less than 1,000″ churches and other places of worship during the same period….
