The world yawns. This doesn’t fit the establishment media narrative of Christians as white supremacists and Muslims as victims, and so it will be ignored.
“Children Killed, Christian Leaders Kidnapped in Nigeria,” Morning Star News, October 2, 2020:
JOS, Nigeria, October 1, 2020 (Morning Star News) – Two young Christian women and a 6-year-old boy were killed this week while other Christians were kidnapped or slain as uncontested lawlessness by Fulani herdsmen continued in Nigeria, sources said.
In Plateau state the herdsmen attacked Kpachudu village in Miango District, Bassa County west of Jos, at about 8 p.m. on Monday (Sept. 28), said area resident Patience Moses in a text message to Morning Star News. Slain were Emmanuel David, 6; Asabe John, 25; and Mary Andrew, 18, she said.
Last week a 64-year-old Christian community leader was one of eight Christians killed in Plateau state by Fulani herdsmen, who are predominantly Muslim. Chundung Bulus, 52, said her husband, Bulus Chuwang Janka, was lured out of his house by a call to his cell phone the evening of Sept. 21 in Rasat village, Barkin Ladi County.
“We were watching a program on television together with my husband at about 7:30 p.m. when suddenly our electric generator switched off – and suddenly, his mobile phone rang,” she told Morning Star News.
Her husband went outside to try to find a spot for better network reception, she said.
“A few minutes after he stepped out of the house, we heard distress shouts for help from him,” said Bulus, whose family belongs to the Church of Christ in Nations (COCIN). “My son and I rushed out to find out what was happening, when his attackers also shot at us. We were able to identify them as herdsmen. We escaped and hid ourselves and saw how my husband was being cut with machetes by the herdsmen.”
Fulani herdsmen also attacked their village on July 17, she said.
Dagallang Dabot, chairman of the Berom Educational and Cultural Organization, confirmed the killing in a text message and decried numerous attacks on Christians in the area.
“We are getting tired of being subjected to violence by armed Muslim Fulani herdsmen without the Nigerian government doing anything to end these unprovoked attacks on us,” Dabot said…
Nigeria ranked 12th on Open Doors’ 2020 World Watch List of countries where Christians suffer the most persecution but second in the number of Christians killed for their faith, behind Pakistan.
Walter Sieruk says
First , it should be known that kidnaping is strong condemned in the Bible , Exodus 21:16.
Second, it also needs to be known concerning the murdering 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.

+1 Walter,
I would like to add to your excellent comment that no where in the New Testament does Jesus Christ or any of his disciples advocate violence against those who persecuted them and the parable about the good Samaritan best illuminates the true spirit of Christianity.

But the “Prophet” Muhammed regularly kidnaps, ransoms, rapes, and murders victims.

I am asking myself if the Trump administration is aware of what is going on in this part of the world and if he couldn’t stepn in to help the christian comunity .

Trump is the only leader who cares about the persecuted Christians, of Nigeria in particular. This is another reason why we need him four more years.
James Lincoln says
J Morgan,
Hard to believe that Pres. Trump cares more about persecuted Christians than Pope Francis.
But he does…
J Morgan says
Sadly, for all the many persecuted Christians, this is true, James Lincoln. The Pope has abrogated his duty to too many who are suffering now and have been for a long time. It’s like he doesn’t even care that Christians are being murdered and tormented for their beliefs by his beloved Muslims, of all people, no less. He is truly a blind leader – and I don’t mean that in the kind way – meaning that all his other senses are heightened and he is more conscious. His is the worst kind of blindness, making him a dull rube and a terrible leader. We can pray to God that Trump wins, he is many people’s only chance at bringing some kind of justice on this earth.
Lynette says
He is a pathetic male, and is NOT
a christian man!

Mount Zion, the American President *has* been speaking out:
“Trump to Buhari — why are you killing Christians?”

I hope he backs this up with action like sanctions.

Sorry–I posted this before I saw J Morgan’s reply.
Mount Zion says
I know Trump has been speaking out against what is going on in Nigeria , it’s only that I feel it’s not enough and I also don’t know if backing it up with action like sanction is enough .
A strong deterrent would be backing it up with sending in troops doing unto you as you did unto me . I know it sounds radical and would be problematic at so many levels but families are beeing destroyed and people are dying so when things get ugly and compleyely out of hands like in Nigeria and like in many other places where muslims practice their evil with impunity then the only solution to me seems God intervention or Trumps wrath .
DavidR says
There still are groups out there begging for both recognition of the Christian genocide in Nigeria and relief for the victims. But it’s on the World’s backburner and has been there for a decade. Where Muslims rule the best a non Muslim can hope for is lip service. Emboldened by a supportive or indifferent government these Fulani herdsmen are how I imagine Muhammad’s early days of crime, him and his horde of social rejects and thieves brutally attacking caravans and innocent farmers, murdering, stealing, raping and taking slaves. You won’t learn about that in public school but you might have to do an essay on the “The Golden Age of Islam”.

Nigeria: Muslims kill two young Christian women, six-year-old boy, and 64-year-old man, kidnap other Christians
………………..,
Just horrifying–but all of this is orthodox Islam.
Ren says
Islam is evil on earth.
OLD GUY says
Islam’s evil coming to a neighborhood near you, through the migration invasion of people like these animals that murder you because you are not ISLAMIC. CLOSE BORDERS to Islamic followers.
Brian White says
The American Democratic Party, will turn a blind eye to the dangers of Islam, because they have been Hi jacked by the extreme left. Look how much power and influence the radicals in their party have. They will have open borders and encourage Islamic migration until, like the country I come from, eventually you will become the minority in many of your towns and cities and will find that they gain political power and use it for their own interests. The prime objective of Islam is to become the world’s only religion. Sadly it is an ideology that rules by intimidation, you are not even allowed to change religions in fear of severe punishment or even death. Even now the Democrats are openly criticising Christianity! I bought a copy of the Quran, their holy book and was dismayed and shocked at all the intolerance of any other religion….. You must vote for Trump, love him or loathe him, it doesn’t matter, you must vote for what is best for you and your country! Trump is the only one with the courage to recognise and address the situation. PS: I refer you to what is currently happening in Nigeria.
