All those non-Muslim imams such as Pope Francis and John Kerry who have so confidently assured us that Islam is a religion of peace should make their way to Kaduna and explain to Ibrahim Zakzaky how he is misunderstanding the religion he has dedicated his life to understanding properly and teaching correctly. “Nigeria files terrorism […]
Nigeria: Muslims kidnap 150 Christian schoolchildren from boarding school
ICN reports that the children who were kidnapped were Christians. For over a decade, Boko Haram has “ravaged the northeastern part of Nigeria and around Lake Chad.” Last year, Boko Haram kidnapped over 300 boys in Western Nigeria. So far this year, Boko Haram has committed seven mass kidnappings in Nigeria. Nonetheless, the world remains […]
Nigeria: Muslims murder 11 people, tear down church and homes
If Christians tore down a mosque, which would never happen, you’d never hear the end of it. But you’ll likely only hear about this here. “Gunmen kill 11, raze church, houses in fresh Kaduna attacks,” by Godwin Isenyo, Punch, May 20, 2021: Some bandits have invaded the Ungwan Gaida community near Kurmin Kaso in the […]
Nigeria: Muslims raid Christian worship service, kill one Christian, wound another, and kidnap five

Nigeria: Muslims stop bus on highway, kidnap eight Christians
This is not “extremism.” Abduction of Infidels is sanctioned in Islamic law and subject to particular rules: “As for the captives, the amir [ruler] has the choice of taking the most beneficial action of four possibilities: the first to put them to death by cutting their necks; the second, to enslave them and apply the […]
Nigeria: Body of kidnapped priest found with machete wounds, jihadists suspected
Although the murder of Fr. John Gbakaan, a priest serving in the Minna Catholic Diocese in Kaduna state, remains largely a mystery, it is yet another suspected jihad killing.

Nigeria: Muslims murder seven Christians, two days after murdering a pastor

Nigeria: Muslims attack Christian village, burn church, kill man, kidnap four children
Just another day in Nigeria, as international indifference continues. The victims and perpetrators here don’t fit the narrative, and so incidents of this kind are ignored. “One Man Slain, Children and Others Kidnapped in North-Central Nigeria,” Morning Star News, August 28, 2020: JOS, Nigeria (Morning Star News) – Fulani herdsmen attacked a predominantly Christian village […]
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 shoot or hack to death nine Christians, kidnap seven others
“May the blood that keeps being spilt cause sleep to depart from all those who carry out these attacks.” Unlikely. They believe that such attacks please the Allah who told them to “kill them wherever you find them” (Qur’an 2:191, 4:89; cf. 9:5). “Nine Christians Killed in Gun and Machete Attack in North-central Nigeria,” Morning […]
