Beginning with the Obama administration, Muslims murdered over 125,000 Christians in Nigeria. This revelation in the latest report from the International Society for Civil Liberties and the Rule of Law documents a Christian genocide that has been taking place in Africa, enabled by Barack Obama and the State Department, and carried out with the complicity of the media.
Even as over 125,000 Christians were murdered, over 1,000 Christian communities shattered and 19,000 churches destroyed, the media has buried the regular massacres, including the latest massacre in which 160 Christian villagers, many of whom were burned alive, were killed, on the ‘back pages’ even as it trumpets false Muslim claims of a genocide taking place in Israel.
Every Hamas claim appears on the front pages even when there’s not a single shred of evidence to sustain it, but actual massacre scenes in Nigeria, burned churches, bullet-riddled bodies and child survivors, rarely make the evening news. And when they do, the term ‘genocide’ is never used the way that it is constantly deployed in Gaza on behalf of Hamas.
Instead the media denies that the massacre of over 125,000 Christians is a genocide, denies that the Muslim killers, no matter how often they declare this, are motivated by Islam, and rejects the idea that there is any role for America in preventing the genocide except by defusing Muslim grievances by allowing them to seize power and turn Nigeria into an Islamist tyranny.
This ‘Arab Spring’ playbook took off under Obama and it is no coincidence that the beginning of the Christian genocide dates back to the first year that he took office. Rather than condemning the massacres of Christians, the Obama administration claimed that the real problem was that the Nigerian military and law enforcement were too aggressive in fighting Islamic terrorism.
According to the Obama administration, Muslim massacres of Christians were really a retaliation for excessive force being used by the military against the Jihadists. The State Department pressured the Nigerian government to address Muslim grievances, made aid conditional on ‘reforms’ and the reduction of the use of force, and denied that religion was the root cause.
Even as Republicans urged the Obama administration to designate Boko Haram, an Islamic Jihadist group affiliated with Al Qaeda, as a terror group a parade of State Department officials told Congress that “religion is not driving extremist violence”, argued that Nigeria’s “religious and ethnic diversity is one of its greatest strengths” and contended that the answer was “to press for a change to its (Nigeria’s) heavy-handed approach to the security threats in the north”.
Two years before the kidnappings of girls by Boko Haram that made #BringBackOurGirls into a hashtag, the New York Times ran an op-ed titled, “In Nigeria, Boko Haram Is Not the Problem” which described the group as “peaceful”, claimed that “there is no proof that… Boko Haram even exists” and blamed Nigeria’s Christian president, Jonathan Goodluck, for the violence.
They got their way when former Muslim dictator Muhammadu Buhari returned to power with the assistance of the Obama administration. Buhari, a ruthless killer, had previously warned that if he were not allowed to take power, “By Allah, the dog and the baboon will be soaked in blood.” His Muslims followers had lashed out after previous election defeats by assaulting Christians.
Rather than being critical of a former dictator who had threatened violence taking power, the Obama administration championed Buhari and the violence against Christians grew. Fulani Muslim herdsmen were empowered to massacre Christian herdsmen and drive them off their own land. The International Society for Civil Liberties and the Rule of Law states that not over 1,110 Christian communities were destroyed and 20,000 square miles of land were seized.
In 2020, the Trump administration finally listed Nigeria as a “country of particular concern” on religious freedom. It was not a gamechanger, but it at least began the process of expressing American concern over the Christian genocide taking place and offered a warning to Buhari.
However, next year, the Biden administration took power and reverted to the Obama administration’s old policy, removing Nigeria from the list of countries where religious persecution is taking place with no justification. Secretary of State Blinken, who visited and cheerfully chatted with Buhari, refused to answer questions about the pro-genocide move.
Year after year, the Biden administration refused to list Nigeria, even as it became known as “the deadliest country for Christians in the world”.
“There is no justification as to why the State Department did not designate Nigeria or India as a Country of Particular Concern, despite its own reporting and statements,” U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom chairs Abraham Cooper of the Simon Wiesenthal Center and Rev. Frederick A. Davie, an African-American Obama appointee, warned.
The International Society for Civil Liberties and the Rule of Law is now asking the Trump administration to relist Nigeria as a ‘Country of Particular Concern’, to list the Fulani Jihadists massacring thousands of Christians as terrorists and to bar Imams involved in supporting the atrocities from the United States. In the face of the mass murder of Christians, these are not big requests and they would signal that the United States is at least paying attention to the killings.
Unlike the atrocity propaganda that the media pushed for Muslim territories like Yemen, Gaza and Afghanistan, the United Nations will never call for intervention or sanctions, the New York Times or Tucker Carlson will never highlight the plight of Christians being killed by Muslims, and the streets won’t be filled with protesters crying out against the Islamic genocide of Christians.
But President Trump has shown that he has the power to take an issue that no one in the media wants people to pay attention to and make it front page news. He did it with the ethnic cleansing in South Africa and he can do it with the genocide in Nigeria.
Obama enabled the Muslim genocide of Christians in Nigeria. President Trump can help end it and can bury one more ugly legacy from a man who did so much damage around the world.
The Jews get accused of genocide for defending innocent women and children from being raped and beheaded and Muslims get away with killing thousands elsewhere.
Someone will now claim that the Jews rule the world!
Actually, there are many antisemitic persons who have Claimed that the Jews run the world for decades, if not centuries.
malibu was quite the Manchurian. So much malice can be done with simple word manipulation. Boko Harem doesn’t exist. They were too hard on islamic terrorists.
Africans now just kill each other. They used to eat each other.
It isn’t an issue of “Africans” so much as Islam.
In 2006, Obama went to South Africa, Chad, Djibouti, Ethiopia, Chad and Kenya as a congressional delegation (of one–himself)… While in Kenya, Obama consistently appeared with Luo Raila Odinga. Yet more dubious doings.
I have been interested in this situation since the rise of Book Harem, the kidnapped girls, and last years disastrous military withdrawal from our Nigerian multi million dollar military base.
Time to totally cut off all funding to the Terrorists we start with the United Nation the Earths #1 supporters of terrorists a long with Soros
How about Qatar, the Saudis and the rest of the oil-world? They have more money than Soros and have managed to buy all that great press. They are the drivers of jihad and the rest of the Muslim world are their foot soldiers, and yet, somehow they avoid the bad press. Must be those well spent billions on the PR firms, lobbyists and the university presidents.
The new Pope laments the suffering in Gaza but not a tear for Christian persecution throughout the world.
There is no need to “deflect off Israel”. Israel is the canary in the coal mine, fighting Islamic terror. Israel needs to hunt Hamas down worldwide, to the last man, and any supporters as well,
Israel is doing its utmost to avoid killing civilians – see what John Spencer of West Point has to say in https://www.newsweek.com/israel-has-created-new-standard-urban-warfare-why-will-no-one-admit-it-opinion-1883286
lil’ seb-ass-tan is a pathological lying coward
So does the Tucker’s nun. I guess, the Christians for the doctrinal reasons hate Jews more than fear Muslims.
muslims are more important . jews and christians , chorus of crickets from the west and the un .
The Christian areas in Africa were formerly European colonies. Now the Muslims are driving them out.
That is to say, now those areas are becoming Muslim colonies. Islam is a global political system, wearing the sheep’s skin of religion as a disguise.
Are you sure you’re not talking about London? Or Paris?
and they’ve already got a solid head start on driving them out of Europe.
Not a word about the 100,000 Armenian Christians thrown out of Ngorno a few weeks after Oct. 7 either. Genocide?
State Department officials told Congress that … Nigeria’s “religious and ethnic diversity is one of its greatest strengths”
Right. Meanwhile Nigeria has the shortest life expectancy of any country in the world — 56.46 years — according to Wiki “List of countries by life expectancy”.
From Paul’s letter to the church at Colossae in Phrygia, Chapter 1, Verse 24: “I am glad when I suffer for you in my body, for I am participating in the sufferings of Christ that continue for his body, the church.”
It seems the “religion of Peace” attracts and provides cover for the satanic malice of evil men. While there is ample evidence that Islam is founded on a work of fiction, the reality of its practice is worse than the sins of the Arabic sheikh on which Allah is modeled.
The only perfect freedom is our pardon from sin, won by Christ on the cross. Yet we know everyone on earth should live free from oppression. Out of our love for God, we should work to make that freedom available as widely as possible.
A nation founded on Mosaic law and whose Constitution was adopted by men educated in Christian seminaries should live up to its principles by opposing evil within and without. The USA need not go to war to influence the conduct of other states, but its leaders must stand up for what is right, even when others say it is wrong, and must reject wrong, even when the world says it is right.
The hadith states that the entity that commanded Mohammed to recite the Qur’an crushed his chest. This is typical of trance mediumship, suggesting that Allah and Jibreel may be demons. Which does not mean that the Qur’an is not fiction, except where is quotes the Bible accurately, but does suggest an author other than Mohammed. And a need to exorcise jihadists and their bloodthirsty imams.
In 2020, the Trump administration finally listed Nigeria as a “country of particular concern” on religious freedom.
Nigeria should now be designated a Muslim terrorist state and designate Obama an enabler of Genocide.
Long past time to stop treating Obama as a legitimate politician. Today he is palling around with Democrat swells on Martha’s Vineyard pretending he can actually do something about Texas redistricting. The funny thing is he is doing this in a state that has no Republican representation in Congress.
Obama will always be a fraud.
the direct result of our refusing to abode by the Constitution so wisely provided us by our founders. They commanded “DO NOT select fo President anyone who is not a Natural Born Citizen. When that command was given, the term Natural Born Citizen meant a person born of TWO parents who are BOTH US Citizens. Place of birth not important.
Obama’s pappy was a British Subject when his sprog was born, After Kenya became an independent nation he (pappy) was then a citizen of Kenya.
Barry O could have been born in the White House with the TeeVee cameras rolling and he’d STILL not be a Natural Born Citizen.
Please explain why someone who was a two-time POTUS should not be treated as a “legitimate politician.” We can disagree with his politics, despise him as a human being, and consider him a fraud—isn’t that what so many libs do with Trump?–but the suggestion that he isn’t a legitimate politician is dumb. Mitt Romney, John McCain and hundreds of millions of Americans understand he was legitimate whether they voted for him or not.
One of these days President Trump might actually replace Obamacare with something “really great.”
If you can’t tell who is legit and who is a fraud then your problems go deeper than you know. Hanging around for decades as Romney and John McCain did does not make you legit any more than Obama was legit.
I assume you don’t like Trump and I noticed you picked the low life RINOs as your examples of legitimacy. Typical.
As near as I could tell, Obama got the Nobel Peace Prize for getting himself elected President of the USA. I saw no “peace efforts” during his 2 terms- However, he did TALK a lot!
Christians around the world being massacred and subject to genocide, prison and torture, unjust arrest and persecution are now beyond number. In Pakistan, two Christian brothers, after 10 years of squalid prison are scheduled to be hanged, for nothing. Pakistani court have upheld the death sentence, while the ACLJ is making one last appeal to save their lives.
It’s not just in Nigeria, Congo, Sudan, Syria, Pakistan, China, but also in, yes … Western Europe where you can still be arrested for praying … silently. In Britain little to nothing has been done about thousands of young English girls, over decades, being raped by Muslim gangs who are allowed to run rampant while their fathers who protest are arrested and sent to prison.
The persecutions of Christians runs the gamut from the petty to atrocities beyond the imagination.
In Manchester this week there are Muslims targeting young white girls in Market Street. They are pretending to hand out leaflets, but they don’t try to give a leaflet to anyone other than little white girls.
If I report this to the woke police I will be arrested for islamaphobia.
ABSOLUTELY johnWY. I pray that there is a Special Place in Hell for OBozo and his ilk.
These Genocides have been going on since 630 with the Arabic / Islamist… Crusaders need to re-emerge !!
Given that the report cited also states that 60,000 moderate Muslims were killed, as well as 125,000 Christians, do you think we could persuade the mainstream media to flag up those moderate Muslim deaths, and mention the Christian ones as a postscript?
Defund the Terrorists Defund the United Nations
Teach christians to defend themselves or get them the hell out of nigeria, period. Or, more will die and we will keep reading sob stories about it.
Persecution of Christians in Nigeria goes back a long way. The Biafra conflict of the mid nineteen sixties was a religious war. The majority Christian Biafra region, tired of constant persecution by Muslim majority Nigeria tried to break away and form an independent nation. They were not successful.
As a Nigerian Christian, I am impressed. I have never read an article that accurately described the event and plights of Nigerian Christians.
