The Western media would only care if the roles were reversed, which they would not be and should not be.
“Blasphemy Accusations Fuel Violence Against Christians in Northern Nigeria,” International Christian Concern, February 21, 2025:
2/21/2025 Nigeria (International Christian Concern) — Christians in northern Nigeria continue to face increasing violence over accusations of blasphemy, often leading to mob attacks, destruction of property, and forced displacement.
While Nigeria’s constitution guarantees freedom of religion, the application of Sharia law in 12 northern states has created a parallel legal system where blasphemy charges frequently lead to vigilante justice rather than formal prosecution.
The case of Sadiq Mani Abubakar, a 45-year-old Hausa Christian and lecturer at the Federal University Dutsin-Ma in Katsina state, illustrates the growing trend. On Jan. 30, a mob set his home and vehicles on fire, forcing him and his family to flee. The attack stemmed from a decade-old Facebook post in which Abubakar questioned the origins of the Quran. While some Islamic scholars consider the post blasphemous, accusations spread, and a mob responded with violence.
“I fled for my life, yet the federal government acted swiftly against me,” Abubakar told an International Christian Concern (ICC) staffer, referring to the suspension of his salary following his escape. “I feel utterly abandoned by the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN). I can’t even seek legal help because I fear for my family’s safety back in Katsina.”
Similar incidents have occurred across northern Nigeria. In May 2022, a mob in Sokoto state killed and burned the body of Deborah Emmanuel, a Christian college student, over allegations of blasphemy in a WhatsApp group. In June 2023, a man in Bauchi state was beaten to death after being accused of insulting Islam. Law enforcement has rarely prosecuted those responsible for these killings….

This is more evidence of Islamization against Jews, Christians, and Non-Muslims as taught in Islam’s Quran. Non-Muslims CANNOT have peace with Islam and its Muslims because Islam and its murderous god, Allah, demand a continuous Muslim war, a religious duty, against unbelievers where Non-Muslims are CRIMINALS under Islam due to UNBELIEF and BLASPHEMY against Allah when Allah in Qur’an 8:39 says, “And engage in war with them[Non-Muslims] until there will not be sedition and the religion will be completely to Allah…” HENCE, NON-MUSLIMS MUST MAKE ISLAM, ITS MOSQUES, ITS SCHOOLS, ITS ORGANIZATIONS, ETC. ILLEGAL UNDER THE LAW. Similarly, Islam and its many Organizations must be identified and publicly declared to be MUSLIM TERRORIST ORGANIZATIONS(MTO) for their funding, teaching, and support of terrorism, violence, and discrimination against Non-Muslims(eg. Quran 3:151; 9:5,29,111 and more).
The FRUIT of Islam is incessant WAR, ideological subversion, propaganda, terrorism, discrimination, slavery, malice, ISLAMIZATION, persecution, and violence against all Non-Muslims; this FACT must be taught and broadcast to the general public to prohibit Islam, its Mosques, its Courts, and its Schools(See Islamic Law Manual – “Reliance of the Traveller”, 9.0- and more). Also, Islam is an Antichrist System terrorizing Israel, Christians, and Non-Muslims(Quran 3:28,54; 5:51 and more). Plus, there is NO EQUALITY UNDER THE LAW in Islam or in Islamic Law(Quran 5:51; 9:29; 98:6-7 and more). In Sahih Bukhari(V6,B60,N80), Abu Huraira narrates, “‘You(Muslims) are the best of peoples ever raised for mankind.’ means, the best of peoples for the people, as you bring them[Non-Muslims] with chains on their necks till they embrace Islam[see Quran 3:110].” See also Quran 3:22,151; 69:30-32; 98:6-7.

The nigerian “government” follows the same evil, demonic playbook that the mozlum on the street and in the barracks, follow.
I pray this man and his family can find an escape, and that they maintain their faith in Christ. As the Bible makes clear, “God is our Savior.”
If mozlums had a real god, and not a false one with a fake prophet demanding servitude slavery to demon worship, stealing, lying, rape and murder, they wouldn’t need to punish anyone for questioning the source of their belief.
But, mozlums are afraid of the Truth, just as their false god is afraid of the Truth. It’s all based on lies.

I treated an Irish American friend to a performance by Irish comedian, Nihill, last evening. The vitriol towards Israel and Israelis and subsequent cheering from certain parties in the audience disgusted and angered me. At the end of his set, this comic urged the audience to follow Ireland in “standing up for the oppressed.” Feeding the crocodile in hopes that the next little ginger babies strangled won’t be named Sean and Seamus?????
