In Nigeria, Fulani jihadists “now pose a greater threat than the Islamic terror group Boko Haram.” Meanwhile, as jihadists continue to slaughter Nigerian Christians on a more or less daily basis, the Pope and many other Christian leaders continue to prioritize political correctness in the face of Christian persecution, so as not to offend Muslims.

Nigeria: Muslim cleric says any Muslim lawyer who defends man accused of blasphemy has left Islam
This is effectively pronouncing a death sentence on any lawyer who defends Yahaya Aminu-Sharif. Apostasy carries the death penalty in Islamic law. This is based on the Qur’an: “They wish you would disbelieve as they disbelieved so you would be alike. So do not take from among them allies until they emigrate for the cause […]
Muslims recruiting children as soldiers, jihad suicide bombers in Nigeria, Cameroon, Niger and Chad
Jihadis indoctrinating and recruiting children to commit human rights abuses, including murder, is all too common.” Such conditioning is, of course, child abuse. Yet Western leaders who consider themselves to be champions of human rights turn a blind eye to this activity and much more as they seek out the Muslim vote and abase themselves […]
Nigeria: Musician sentenced to death for blaspheming Muhammad appeals conviction, says country isn’t under Sharia
This is a very significant case. It will be interesting to see how Shariff-Aminu’s appeal is received. This recalls the case of Robert Hussein Qambar Ali, a Kuwaiti national who converted from Islam to Christianity in the 1990s. Hussein was arrested and tried for apostasy, even though the Kuwaiti Constitution guarantees the freedom of religion […]
Nigeria: Muslims attack Christian village, burn church, kill man, kidnap four children
Just another day in Nigeria, as international indifference continues.

Vatican ambassador to Nigeria says it’s important to say that Muslim genocide of Christians there is not religious
For the Catholic Church today, it’s the Muslim-Christian dialogue above all things. Unwelcome truths are not be enunciated. Here is the reality of the situation in Nigeria: the article “A genocide against Christians is silently unfolding in Nigeria,” by Kester Kenn Klomegah in Modern Diplomacy, August 28, 2020, states this: The International Society for Civil […]
Sunspots? New York Times defends Nigerian atheist who called Muhammad a terrorist
Given the New York Times’ track record, it’s safe to say that if Mubarak Bala were an American and a Christian, the Times would be excoriating him as an “Islamophobe,” not writing an admiring piece about his courage and independent thinking. Note also that even here, the Times continues its practice, shared by all of […]
Nigeria: Muslims murder 11 Christians, including 16-year-old girl, loot and burn village
No one cares. Wrong victims. If the perpetrators and victims were reversed, which would never happen and should never happen, this would get international attention. Commissions, studies, feature articles, government inquiries about Christian “Islamophobia.” But this? No one cares. In fact, if you report on incidents of this kind, you’re a “white supremacist.” “Pastor, 16-Year-Old […]
Nigeria: Muslims murder wife, mother, all children and other relatives of one Christian, 13 people in all
The world yawns.

Nigeria: Muslims murder at least 121 Christians, displace thousands, burn out homes in spate of jihad attacks
Imagine the international outcry if the perpetrators and victims were reversed, which would never happen and should never happen. It wouldn’t die down for weeks. But reality doesn’t fit the establishment media narrative, and so you’re likely to hear about this here only. “At least 121 Christians dead in spate of savage Fulani militant attacks […]
