Thousands of Christians 'deliberately targeted' and killed in Nigeria: report
2024-09-04
[NYPOST] The killing, persecution and displacement of Christians in Nigeria is ''unrelenting'' and ''a time bomb,'' according to a major new report.

Christians ''are deliberately targeted,'' as well as ''Christian communities, their livelihood(s), faith leaders and places of worship,'' according to the report by Open Doors International, a faith-based non-profit working to raise awareness of global persecution, aiming to mobilize prayer, support and action among Christians.

Christians are reportedly becoming ''an endangered species'' there, the report says.

''Last year alone, in Nigeria there were more people that were killed because of their Christian faith than all other places in the globe combined,'' Ryan Brown, the CEO Of Open Doors US, told Fox News Digital, adding ''to be specific, there were 4,998 Christians that were killed because of their faith in Nigeria last year.''

In testimonies recorded for the Open Doors International report, titled ''No Road Home,'' attacks on Christians are said to have been carried out by Islamist terror groups Boko Haram and the Islamic State of West Africa Province, and predominantly Muslim Fulani militants, who originally were herdsmen.

''When the Fulani gunmen came to attack, they could be heard shouting 'Allahu Akbar (Allah is the greatest), we will destroy all Christians,''' one interviewee claimed in the report.

#6  First the earth cooled.
And then the dinosaurs came, but they got too big and fat, so they all died and they turned into oil.
And then the Arabs came and they bought Mercedes Benzes.
And Prince Charles started wearing all of Lady Di's clothes.

#5  Going back to Lawrence of Arabia, Arabs/Moslems are seen as romantic and quaint natives who might be brought to share their quaint and s3xy harems with their dear friends… and later quaint but generous oil sheiks who might be brought to share their extensive and s3xy harems with their dear etc.

#3  GROM, Why don’t the elite hate Moslems? Could it be that taxes would be lower?

#2  This is the part of the reasons for the Crusades that they conveniently do not teach in public school.

#1  And we don't hear anything from MSM. Yea, well, "Western Elites" hate Christianity almost as much as they hate Israel.
