The world yawns. After all, no Jews were involved.
“More Than 50 D. R. Congo Christians Killed in Single Day of Violence,” Barnabas Aid, January 16, 2025:
At least 53 Christians were killed on January 15 in two Islamist attacks in Lubero, North Kivu, north-eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC).
The Islamic State Central Africa Province (ISCAP, also known as the Allied Democratic Forces) announced the killings in two social media posts, according to the Terrorism Research and Analysis Consortium (TRAC).
One of the two posts declared, “By the grace of God Almighty, the soldiers of the Caliphate attacked the village of Makoko in the Lubero region and killed 41 Christians [who] were stabbed with knives.”
The other post confirmed killing of 12 others in the village of Masakuki.
The terrorist group also abducted 16 Christians, as well as burning houses and motorcycles.
Attacks of this type have been carried out consistently by ISCAP since the group first affiliated to Islamic State (IS, ISIS, ISIL, Daesh) in 2017. However, the scale and frequency of the attacks has increased in the past few weeks.
Relentless Targeting of Christians
Including the January 15 attacks, at least 128 have been slaughtered in North Kivu and the neighboring province of Ituri since Christmas Day 2024….
Paul Burns says
Just awful. No doubt these men were violent and criminal to begin with, but Islam gives them a ready justification for their robbery and murder.

RightStuff says
Well, a religion of peace drove this group of terrorists to commit this horrible crime.
somehistory says
May God, the Real Almighty One, and His Son, do to these murderers exactly what they deserve. May Jesus carry out the Promise Paul described to the Christians in ancient Thessalonica.
The persecuted, and the murdered, will have their reward for their faith. May the others there hold onto their faith in the coming days until our God brings this evil to an end

Really? So what’s the damned holdup?
In the real world, it is human beings who will actually end their suffering!

US Foreign Aid to Nigeria
$1.2 billion
The United States provides foreign assistance resources to Nigeria, supporting various areas such as economic development, education, democracy, health, energy, climate, humanitarian relief, and security. In FY 2022, nearly $1.2 billion was allocated for this purpose1. Additionally, USAID is providing approximately $104 million in humanitarian assistance to address the ongoing crisis in Nigeria2. In 2021, USAID spent $787 million on development and humanitarian assistance in Nigeria3. Recently, an additional $176 million in humanitarian assistance was announced for Nigeria and other West African countries4.
Make it contingent on the Nigerian government squashing the problem.

“Make it contingent on the Nigerian government squashing the problem.”
Yes.
And the Trump administration should very publicly point out the atrocities committed against Christians in countries like the Congo, Nigeria, etc.
somehistory says
James, he may ”publicly point out the atrocities,” but that is no guarantee that the murders will cease. Trump is one man and he can’t change people….as some seem to believe.
Pres Trump can call attention to it…if he chooses to; and he can condemn it, and sanction the country….like iran was sanctioned (and the atrocities continued) and more people can learn of what is going on in Africa.
However:
Men are not up to the challenge before them…and neither is one man going to be able to bring an end to islam. No matter **who** says or believes it.

That’s certainly true, but it’s certainly worth doing.
And, at the very least, these barbaric muslim countries will not be funded by the United States.
