And the Muslim war on Christians in Nigeria is brutal, bloody and relentless. If Nigeria falls to Muslim supremacists, the whole of Africa is in jeopardy.
Nigeria: Muslims storm Christian village, open fire on residents, torch dozens of homes, murder 30 people (thanks to Robert Spencer)
Shhh! “Talk about extreme, militant Islamists and the atrocities that they have perpetrated globally might undercut the positive achievements that we Catholics have attained in our inter-religious dialogue with devout Muslims.” — Robert McManus, Roman Catholic Bishop of Worcester, Massachusetts, February 8, 2013
“Gunmen kill 30 in central Nigerian village attack,” from Reuters, January 6 (thanks to Lookmann):
JOS, Nigeria (Reuters) – Gunmen killed 30 people in a village in central Nigeria on Monday, officials said, in a religiously-mixed region with a long history of ethnic and communal violence.Violence in central Nigeria is frequently fuelled by long-running land disputes between semi-nomadic communities like the Muslim Fulani and farming settlers including mainly Christian Berom, both often armed with automatic weapons.
Gunmen stormed the majority-Berom Shonong village in the Riyom local government area in the early hours, opening fire on residents and torching dozens of houses to the ground, a member of the state house of assembly Daniel Dem told Reuters.
A spokesman for the local military confirmed the attack, but said it was too early to give a death toll.
Thousands have been killed in the last three years in tit-for-tat clashes between rival ethnic groups in the “Middle Belt”, where the largely Christian south meets the mostly Muslim north in Africa’s most populous nation.
Such battles, far from economic centers or oilfields in Africa’s second-biggest economy and top oil producer, are largely ignored by central government, rights groups say.
