The world yawns. This kind of story doesn’t fit the establishment media narrative, in which Muslims are always and in every case victims, so it will get no traction.
Why identify the perpetrators as “Muslims” rather than as “militants” or “insurgents”? Because it was their Islamic faith that led them to do this: their attacks are “inspired by their desire to forcefully take over Christians’ lands and impose Islam.” If they had a different motivation, another signifier would be appropriate.
“Terrorists Kill 50 Christians and Abduct 100, including Priest,” Morning Star News, March 28, 2022:
ABUJA, Nigeria (Morning Star News) – Fulani herdsmen on Thursday (March 24) killed an estimated 50 Christians and abducted a Catholic priest in attacks on communities in an area of Kaduna state, Nigeria, area sources said.
In late-night attacks on 10 predominantly Christian communities of Giwa County, herdsmen and others also took about 100 people captive and burned down a church building, area residents said.
“They also burned houses, stores and killed animals,” resident Nuhu Musa told Morning Star News by text message. “These attacks continued and lasted up to the morning of Friday, 25 March. They didn’t allow even the dead bodies to be buried, as they shot at mourners and those who returned to the villages to conduct funerals for those killed.”
Women and children were among those killed, Musa said. The burned church building was located in Zangon Tama village, and the assailants also raided the villages of Unguwar Kaya Fatika, Barebari, Dillalai, Unguwar Bakko, Gidan Alhajin Kadi, Kadanya and Durumi, he said.
“Giwa Local Government Area of Kaduna state is bleeding,” Musa said.
Samuel Aruwan, commissioner in Kaduna state’s Ministry of Internal Security and Home Affairs, said initial reports showed the assailants had attacked the villages of Dillalai, Barebari, Dokan Alhaji Ya’u, Durumi, Kaya and Fatika.
The Catholic priest, the Rev. Felix Fidson Zakari of St. Ann’s Catholic Church, was taken away at gunpoint from Zangon Tama village along with others, four area residents said. The residents and a spokesman for the Catholic Diocese of Zaria requested prayer for the abducted priest.
Among other villagers, Julius Agbado, a member of the Catholic church, said, “Please kindly pray for the safe release of Rev. Fr. Felix Fidson Zakari, a priest of St. Ann’s Catholic Church, Zangon Tama, under the Catholic Diocese of Zaria, who was kidnapped after armed herdsmen and terrorists attacked Zangon Tama.”
Another area resident, Muazu Gogi, lamented the government’s failure to protect villagers against such attacks, which have become commonplace in Kaduna state.
“Pray for us to survive these attacks by herdsmen and bandits,” Gogi said. “These herdsmen and bandits attacked several villages in Giwa Local Government Area and killed more than 50 persons. The government is aware about the killings and destructions by these Fulani terrorists and armed bandits but is unable to protect the people.”
Killings in Benue State
In Benue state, Fulani herdsmen early Wednesday (March 23) killed three Christians, following the slaughter of more than 20 people in predominantly Christian areas of the state earlier in the month, sources said.
Residents of predominantly Christian Yoli village, in Katsina-Ala County, said the Fulani attacked at about 2 a.m. and also wounded a dozen people, forcing many to flee their homes.
“The Fulani, who had guns and weapons like machetes, attacked Christians in one of our villages, Yoyo community in Katsina-Ala Local Government Area,” Comfort Angula told Morning Star News in a text message. “They killed three members of the community, and many were forced to flee the village.”…
Christian leaders in Nigeria have said they believe herdsmen attacks on Christian communities in Nigeria’s Middle Belt are inspired by their desire to forcefully take over Christians’ lands and impose Islam as desertification has made it difficult for them to sustain their herds.
Nigeria led the world in Christians killed for their faith last year (Oct. 1, 2020 to Sept. 30, 2021) at 4,650, up from 3,530 the previous year, according to Open Doors’ 2022 World Watch List report. The number of kidnapped Christians was also highest in Nigeria, at more than 2,500, up from 990 the previous year, according to the WWL report.
Nigeria trailed only China in the number of churches attacked, with 470 cases, according to the report.
In the 2022 World Watch List of the countries where it is most difficult to be a Christian, Nigeria jumped to seventh place, its highest ranking ever, from No. 9 the previous year.

I am tired of readiing everyday that Christians are being killed without any support from snd protection by any group or nation
Rufolino says
The Pope’s lack of interest shameful.
James Lincoln says
Rufolino,
Yes, and I haven’t even heard him state that he is “troubled” by this ongoing genocide against Christians.
I guess he feels that if he doesn’t mention it, it didn’t happen.

Speaking of certain individuals, yes, with each pope in power, they are getting more and more evil, saying the most horrible and hateful things about Jesus, like it’s the most normal things to say, and apparently, it must be, because they don’t feel remorseful, or sorry, and explain to their huge membership all over the world, that they can’t understand what came over them, to say those awful and such shameful things, or even ask for their forgiveness, or ANYTHING like that. Because, the next week, the pope has said even worse things about the Lord, that every Catholic in the world heard, and still act like it’s nothing, when most NORMAL people can see and hear how evil it is! (Except the millions of Catholics all over the world, who worship the pope, and support him, no matter WHAT he says or does against God.
If I ever wanted to remind myself, that the one pope who is in office, at the beginning and throughout the 7 year Tribulation, will be the third part of satan’s Trinity, I’ll just go to my folder, where I’ve collected/archived everything each pope has said and done against the true God, and I was wondering if THIS pope was ever going to stop, trying to say and do the most horrific things against God, and so impossibly evil, that it was so SHOCKING to me, and I’m not even a Catholic, but found myself educating myself on everything that makes the Catholic religion, the apple in Satan’s eye, and his choice for a religous entity, because it has millions of devoted followers throughout the world, that he (Satan) wants and needs. If one would educate themselves on just this one “religion”, they would have to start way back in time, where the Catholic leaders were already in their evil position, ruling everyone, burning so called “heretics”, if you didn’t follow THEIR faith. And then, they changed so much normal things, changing holiday dates, and times (and there’s a bible verse saying that same thing), made almost everything that was good, evil. Someone should also see the many evil symbols throughout the church’s history.
Two things, that I can’t tolerate, that Catholics do, (but there’s many) and is totally against God, is the praying to Jesus mother, Mary. No where in the bible is that mentioned to do. There is one verse that makes praying to “Mother Mary” a total scam, invented by the Catholic church of course, and that is…Jesus said that NO ONE can come to the Father, except through Him. And that is why anytime there is prayer, that the last thing that is said is “In Jesus name, we pray, Amen”
And the other awful awful thing the Catholic heads came up with, is keeping Jesus tied on the cross. When we should concentrate on his rising up from the grave, as He said He would do. Who wants to see Jesus dead on the cross, and NOT be joyful with his Resurrection? But yet, the pope wants you to keep your eyes on his death, and on the cross, for what? Depressing and sad, I’d say! Some people have said to me, that it’s because they want to remember what He did for humanity. I’d say, “When would you ever forget what He did for us all?” These people must have short term memory problems, I’m thinking!
I’d rather know that He’s alive now, and ruling heaven, now THAT is a much happier thought!
At the beginning of my comment here, I meant to tell people, that there is a Trinity of good….God the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, and the evil side wants to copy everything that God does, so he can pull in unsubspecting souls, so there is Satan, the Antichrist, and the religious arm, the False Prophet.
And when the Tribulation starts, Satan is Satan himself, so no one guesses who Satan is, but now, how many evil evil men throughout time had the label of being the Antichrist? Hitler being just one.
And now, there are a lot of prophecy teachers, who most all agree, along with many Christians throughout the world, who agree (as I do too), that whoever the pope is, when the 7 year Tribulation begins, will most certainly have the label placed on him, as the False Prophet. If anyone can just see the evil throughout the Catholic system, and definitely how each of the latest popes are becoming more and more against God, there wouldn’t be any doubt, that the pope who is in power, will be the False Prophet. And speaking of, someone must have told this pope to cool it down, because he’s not been in the headlines for quite awhile now…and that’s a happy relief for me!
somehistory says
mozlums are terrorists and murderers and rapists and arsonists and they enjoy every second of their lust to “steal, kill and destroy.” Just as Jesus said of their “father, the thief.”
While reading this, a Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel song came to mind: “Sounds of Silence.” (The Sound of Silence).
“And in the naked light I saw
Ten thousand people, maybe more
People talking without speaking
People hearing without listening
People writing songs that voices never share
No one dared
Disturb the sound of silence”
No one, woshiping their fake gods of “neon,” will pay any attention to what mozlums are doing to Christians in nigeria; and since the creep at the helm is, himself, a mozlum of the same “fulani”…no help will come from the “government.”
Jesus said, “The world hates you because it has hated me,’ and “You will be objects of hatred on account of my name,” and “People will deliver you up to persecution and kill you.”
Pray Hard says
While Christians stand around shuffling their feet, averting their gazes and mumbling something about love, tolerance and forgiveness …
James Lincoln says
I’m speechless.

Good thing Trump isn’t in office at this time. What beautiful, sweet things Trump told that leader of Nigeria, Buhari, on the White House lawn, when Trump was in office.
Just try to make me believe, that this Nigerian leader doesn’t know about all the many years, all throughout the year, that hundreds or thousands of Christians are killed savagely in that country.
Ok, Trump is good, or WAS good, in some things he did and said, but saying how HONORED he was to have that leader there, with him, almost made me sick.
Ok, the Nigerian leader AND Trump have..or had, NO IDEA of SO MANY CHRISTIANS getting murdered, in that country, constantly! (No, Trump just gave it a few word sentence about it, at almost the end of his speech, so there’s no doubt that Trump knew about it).
But apparently, Trump can just whitewash the facts, and move on.
When he said he was honored, to have him (Buhari), there, I knew the rest was going to be bad. And it was….;Trump says, that Nigeria, or the leader, get a billion dollars a year (apparently not enough for a leader of a country, to find out who the killers are, and put them away, cause THAT news never comes, in all the years I’ve archived the many articles of murdering Christians. Just keeps happening.
Oh Trump doesn’t mind either. He wanted to let that Islamic country leader know how much trade is done in his country, and how much more trade will be in the future…
And how Buhari was a great man, that fights corruption, AND his forces have fought so great against ISIS.
Oh, this leader is praised for fighting against terrorism, and is mentioned as fighting Boko Haram
And Trump thinks so much about Buhari, this ISLAMIC leader, who has no problem in all his forces fighting an ISLAMIC group called ISIS and another ISLAMIC group called Boko Harem, but whoever is killing so many Christians in his country, is elusive….just can’t seem to get those sneaky ISLAMISTS, or those killers to stop murdering so many Christians, in the days, months, and ALL the years, this murdering has been going on, it’s just TOO HARD to fight whoever is doing that.
And we’re supposed to believe, that Nigeria, a mostly all ISLAMIC country can go out and murder so many of those OTHER ISLAMIC forces.
But Trump just wants to let this ISLAMIC leader know, that they receive billions of dollars, EVERY year (WHY support him and his country? What wonderful thing did this leader do, to have Trump gushing all over him, saying how much money they get, what trade that Nigeria and the US do now, and how much MORE that is coming in the future. and OH YEAH, Trump makes a point of telling Buhari, that he is going to receive 12 of the finest planes that the US has! Buhari must think that it’s his birthday and Christmas, all in one. Cause Trump just had one little sentence to mention all the Christian killings going on, under Buhari’s watch, but Trump say’s….”But HEY! Your a dam fine ISLAMIC leader, and we love ya, so just keep on, keepin on!
And the days, when Trump told that crowd, about the “Snake Poem”, I was touched, and I was with him all the way! Sure didn’t take long for my eyes and ears to pick up bad things, that everyone else was asleep and not catching. Trump was like a snake charmer…he had everyone else eating out of his hand, while they slept.
Did you see when Trumo invited his islamic friends to his Ramadan dinner? I was SO mad and finished with him, after that. I don’t think the White House dot gov website carry the speech he made at that meal, anymore, but I kept everything he was doing and saying, that was was showing the “awake” people, what a fraud he was!
Or you can look up “Trump and Ramadan dinner at White House”, and maybe see his speech that way. It made me sick!
But here is the video of Trump showing all the love he has, for this Islamic leader.
Why did just him, get the royal treatment, and no other Islamic leader, of which there are many! It’s got me SO curious of what could this leader have done? He can use his military forces, and all his military toys, to fight ISIS, to fight Boko Haram, both of those groups, just as Islamic, as he and all the citizens of his country are! Maybe it’s that…”they are Sunni, we are Shiite, kind of thing, or vice versa”?
