“Nigerian Christian Association, CAN Condemns Video Of Clerics Inciting Muslims Against Christians In Taraba, Calls For Arrests,” Sahara Reporters, May 30, 2022:
The Christian Association of Nigeria in Taraba State has described as worrisome a viral video on social media where an Islamic cleric was heard urging Muslims in the state to stand up and take over political power.
The State CAN Chairman, Rev. Isaiah Magaji-Jirapye, who condemned such a message, in a statement, said the Christian body viewed the several videos being shared on the social media as calculated plots to set the stage on fire by outside forces that are not happy with the peace Taraba is enjoying.
Jirapye noted that the state has a long-standing history of religious tolerance and peaceful coexistence between Christians and Muslims.
The statement read, “The attention of the Taraba State Chapter of the Christian Association of Nigeria has been drawn to several video clips of Islamic clerics from outside Taraba State, threatening religious war and the establishment of a sharia Islamic government in Taraba over the recent APC governorship primaries in the state in which a Christian, Senator Emmanuel Bwacha was announced the winner.
“The messages of these clerics stand condemned by all reasonable individuals. We call for their immediate arrest and question why they are interested in setting up Taraba in flames….

mozlums in that part of nigeria, see the mozlums in other parts of the nation slaughtering…and getting away with the murders, no punishment, no condemnation, Christians, and they want the same thing.
They demand to shed blood and be haled by government officials.
It’s a thirst for shedding blood. We who pay attention to such things, see it as happening because the mozlums won’t stop of their own accord…they will keep going until a Higher Power puts an end to it.

Somehistory,
So they have been butchering infidels all these month / years for the establishment of Islamic state(with full-fletched Sharia). The cat is finally out of the bag or it is official now. What is the response of all the crooked leaders of the world, particularly the West.
Most of the Islamic world is craving for Sharia because they have been lied time and again that it controls crime. What a nonsense. It is equally troubling to note that the Westerners choose to do evil with freedom being used as a license.

The nations of the world are being “gathered together for Armageddon.” It’s evil against Righteousness. There are many forms of evil and many levels and all are making front page news…or should be.

Any specific evil?
raja says
Gravenimage,
Somedhistory is probably saying that its evil vs Righteous per se.
The book of Revelations was written in encrypted form so the book would not fall in the hands of Roman soldiers/authorities. Armageddon, is most likely a symbolic term, though Hollywood and other marketeers made windfall gains using the word.
Though the book was encrypted, the first century Christians understood the message clearly and could save themselves from impending war of the war of 66 – 73 AD. It takes good knowledge of old testament and some history and Christ’s prophecy to understand the book. It is easier to grasp than the letter to Romans.

I receive several solicitations from charitable organizations in that part of the world. It’s amazing to me the amount of whitewashing I read in these mailings. For instance: Christians being slaughtered by Muslims becomes “support us to prevent inter-tribal conflict”. Kidnapping by Muslims of Christian girls becomes “please help us to prevent the forced marriage of young girls.”
PS—Is whitewashing now a racist term? ?
raja says
Greek Empress,
This whitewashing is condemnable. Do they want the devil to be pleased even when the sword is on their neck? Or, do they simply believe one universal “truth” that no religion can be bad or ugly.
