When Will We Take Religious Terrorism In Nigeria As Seriously As We Do Hamas?

Nigerian Christians have endured yet another bloody slaughter. This time, it was Christmas Eve. Reports range between 140 and 200 victims killed.

That’s just in one day. A typical year, sees several thousand Christians killed by the same Islamists behind the ‘Bring Back our Girls’ kidnapping where Michelle Obama once held up a sign on the internet.

Nigerian mother-of-three Grace Godwin was preparing food on Christmas Eve when her husband burst into the kitchen and ordered her and the children to run and take cover in the bush after gunmen were spotted in a nearby village.

Soon they heard gunfire, starting an hours-long attack by suspected nomadic herders who rampaged through 15 villages in central Plateau state on Sunday, killing at least 140 people with guns and machetes, officials, police and residents said.

This is what Nigerian Christians are looking at.

Again.

Local news describes it this way:

The Management Committee Chairman of Bokkos Local Government Area of Plateau State, yesterday, said 148 people were killed in the Christmas Eve attack in the council. This came as the death toll in the massacre in three local government areas of the state rose to 195.

Of the number, 148 were killed in Bokkos Local Government Area, 19 in Mangu Local Government Area, and 27 in Barkin Ladi. 1,290 houses were burnt down in Bokkos council, one house was razed in Mangu LGA and that of Barkin Ladi was yet to be ascertained at press time.

The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, condemned the massacre in Plateau by terrorists in coordinated attacks in three local government areas on Christmas Eve.

The party described as heart-rending, the chilling reports of how defenceless Nigerians were gruesomely murdered and over 10,000 displaced by terrorists in Bokkos and Barkin Ladi areas of Plateau State, in unrestrained attacks which lasted till Monday morning. — Vanguard

From Voice of America:

Isa Sanusi, Amnesty International’s country director for Nigeria, called on authorities to investigate.

“It is really sad and unfortunate that these kinds of things continue to happen, and the authorities cannot do anything apart from sympathizing with the victims, which shows helplessness on their side,” Sanusi said. “Rural communities have been allowed to live in the last 10 years or so at the mercy of gunmen.”

Warning — the following tweet contains uncensored video of the carnage left behind. In a world where violence that doesn’t fit into a neat little narrative is easily dismissed, we feel it is important that genocidal events that are being swept under the rug should be documented… somewhere.

Where are all the ‘end genocide’ people filling streets and waving flags when the ‘black-and-brown’ people being slaughtered are Christians suffering at the hand of jihadist violence?

This is not an isolated event or a flare up of tensions. It is part of a larger pattern of ethnic and religious violence. It’s getting worse.

At least 52,250 people have been killed over the last 14 years in Nigeria just for being Christian, a new report published April 10 revealed.

The report, titled “Martyred Christians in Nigeria” and published by the International Society for Civil Liberties and Rule of Law (Intersociety), which is headquartered in Eastern Nigeria, says 30,250 of those have been killed since 2015, when President Muhhamadu Buhari came to power. The report blames what it calls Buhari’s radical Islamism for those killings.[…] […] The report further indicates that under President Buhari, 18,000 Christian churches and 2,200 Christian schools have been incinerated.

The attacks on Christians have also led to significant problems with regard to people being forced to flee from their homes. While more than 50 million Christians, mostly in Northern Nigeria, face “serious jihadist threats for being professed Christians,” no fewer than “14 million have been uprooted and 8 million forced to flee their homes to avoid being hacked to death,” the report says. — Aletia

This year has not been any better.

Jesus warned us, did he not?
Faith in the living God is NOT for the faint of heart.
