WND:
The fertile Middle Belt region in north-central Nigeria became a killing field in June, when more than 200 Christian men, women, and children were slaughtered in an apparent series of coordinated attacks. The massacre was the latest in a string of killings that have taken the lives of an estimated 7,000 Nigerian Christians so far this year.
Since 2009, Islamists – including Boko Haram and outside terrorist groups such as ISIS – have killed at least 52,500 Christians and displaced another 5 million of them, while destroying some 18,000 churches and setting 2,200 schools ablaze, according to a 2023 report by the Nigeria-based International Society for Civil Liberties and Rule of Law.
The carnage has attracted infinitesimally less global media coverage than the war in Gaza, but those who have focused on Nigeria have described it as a classic case of genocide. Bill Maher has sounded the alarm, while Blackwater founder Erik Prince is asking Pope Leo for funding to defend Nigerian Christians. Last month, Sen. Ted Cruz introduced legislation calling on the State Department to reverse the Biden administration’s 2021 decision to remove Nigeria from a list of countries where religious freedom is threatened. more
Crusade anyone?
Was watching Piers Morgan a few weeks ago, a guest (don’t remember her name) said that there have been more Christians killed in Nigeria in the last 2 years than all the casualties in Gaza, that sounds about right.
I realize we can’t do much about that here, officially, but for all the American Christians who feel some [misplaced] obligation to support the current government of Israel because they think the Bible tells them to do this, funnel those charity dollars to places where Christians need it.
And I would go one step further; someone start a 501(c)(3) where guns are purchased with donations and sent to regions just like this. Providing the means for people to protect themselves is about the most charitable thing you can do.
“Pope” Leo is a suicidal woke loon who just opened a muslim prayer room in the vatican. You think he’ll do sh-t to help nigerian christians against muslim terror?

As “Charity begins at home”, wouldn’t it be simpler, more economical, better long term, for Americans to simply neck shot all Anti-American Judeo-Satanists? Right next door.
