“Make ready for them all that you can of force and of warhorses, so that by them you may strike terror in the enemy of Allah and your enemy…” (Qur’an 8:60)
“Fulani Terrorists Kill 46 Christians in Benue State, Nigeria,” Morning Star News, June 14, 2023:
ABUJA, Nigeria (Morning Star News) – Fulani herdsmen on June 3 and 4 killed 46 Christians in attacks on a cluster of villages in Benue state, Nigeria, sources said.
The herdsmen invaded Imande Mbakange village in the early hours of June 3, killing 28 Christians, according to a press statement from the Shitile Development Association, signed by Samuel Door, SDA president, and Ephraim Zuai, secretary of the association.
On June 4, Fulani herdsmen killed another 18 Christians, six in each of the villages of Michihe, Achamegh and Mbagene Kpav, they said.
“Altogether, 46 Christians were killed by the terrorists in the two days of attacks on our communities,” they said. “Most disturbing also is the fact that the identity of the perpetrators is known to security agencies and the Nigerian government, and yet nothing has been done to end this carnage.”…
Nigeria led the world in Christians killed for their faith in 2022, with 5,014, according to Open Doors’ 2023 World Watch List (WWL) report. It also led the world in Christians abducted (4,726), sexually assaulted or harassed, forcibly married or physically or mentally abused, and it had the most homes and businesses attacked for faith-based reasons. As in the previous year, Nigeria had the second most church attacks and internally displaced people.
In the 2023 World Watch List of the countries where it is most difficult to be a Christian, Nigeria jumped to sixth place, its highest ranking ever, from No. 7 the previous year….

The violent and vicious Muslims who 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.

Jesus warned all Christians that “the world hates you because it hated me.” He warned that, “You will be persecuted for my Name,” and that many would be “killed,” many would be “haled before kings and governors,” and that this would continue until He returns at “the end” of this “system of things.”
But, He also said, “In the world you are having tribulation But, take courage! I have conquered the world.”
Not only does the “world” hate Christians and Christianity, many in that “world” mock Christians for having faith in God and in His Son They want to rub salt into the wounds by claiming it’s all a fiction.
If it was all a fiction, made up by the minds of men, then why does the evil persecution that Jesus said would happen, come? How many men and women have been persecuted and their fans murdered by others because the men and women made up fictional characters?
A.C. Doyle; E. Hemmingway, A. Christi, C. Dickins, and thousands more….not hated and murdered for what they wrote; their many fans not hated and murdered for reading and liking what they wrote.
No, Jesus and His Father are not man-made fiction, any more than the murderous persecution being waged against those who worship them. And the salvation that is coming from God and His Son Jesus, are not fiction, but will be evident to all the earth when it is delivered.
Until then, the slaughter and the mocking, will continue.

As with Islam, it’s a belief. Books written by men purporting to speak for a higher being.
No, the whole world does not hate Christians and Christianity. Many, maybe most Muslims do, of course. As you hate them.
But constantly presenting your belief as fact, and as the one true faith, superior to all others–considering the millions of those who follow other faiths which have no natural animosity toward you–doesn’t help.
And you’re simply wasting your time if you think Muslims will be swayed by your belief.
Islam threatens ALL “unbelievers” because it is a theocracy.
