The genocide of Christians continues in Nigeria but no one speaks of it in deference to and fear of Islam. That is real islamophobia.
Boko Haram kills 23 mourners after Nigeria funeral

Kano (Nigeria) (AFP) – Boko Haram gunmen on Saturday killed 23 mourners in Borno state in Nigeria’s restive northeast after they attended a funeral, local militia and residents said.

“Our men recovered 23 dead bodies from the scene of the attack, which happened this morning,” Mustapha told AFP.
The men were returning to Badu Kuluwu from nearby Goni Abachari village where they had attended funeral prayers for a relative, Mustapha said.
A Nganzai district official confirmed both the incident and death toll.
“I received calls from Nganzai that Boko Haram killed 23 people near Badu Kuluwu this morning,” said the official, who asked not to be identified for his own safety.
Local hunters and militia recovered the bodies after survivors returned to the village and alerted them, Nganzai resident Saleh Masida said.
Boko Haram fighters have been repeatedly attacking Nganzai district.
In September last year, the group killed eight people and stole livestock in two villages in the area after residents tried to stop them from taking their animals.
Boko Haram and its IS-supported ISWAP splinter have intensified attacks on civilian and military targets in recent months.
Late Thursday, Boko Haram fighters attacked a camp for displaced people outside Maiduguri, killing two residents and looting food supplies after burning a nearby military base.
The decade-long jihadist conflict has spilled over into neighbouring Chad, Niger and Cameroon, claiming around 27,000 lives and forcing more than two million people to flee their homes.

Muslim savages doing what muslim savages have been doing for 1400 years.
What would happen if the Christians turned the tables on the muslim savages instead of turning the other cheek?

And where are all those “good”, “moderate”, “decent”, “non-observant” muslums? Why aren’t they doing anything about this? You would almost think they’re either completely indifferent or supporting the genocide of Christians in Nigeria? And the dying, decadent, degenerate atheist West? Cue crickets…

The leftists think the US is the bloodthirsty one because of the military help we give to other nations in trouble. Go figure.

For decades we have been slaughtering our unborn into the tens of millions – and we should worry about a few souls in far away Nigeria?
Life has been devalued, and we wonder why.

I wasn’t thinking of military action there, but I’m bothered by Christian and other religions being slaughtered by a huge hate group.

You are right: my point was that a nation that will not work to protect its most vulnerable citizens and almost-citizens lacks a moral foundation to end the murder of innocents overseas.
No wonder the multitude of those identified in Revelation 7 among those who were martyred under great tribulation (from ALL nations, tongues, etc) could no man number.

Sadly, most African-Americans will NOT be outraged by this. If they even know about it at all.

The best aide that can be given is arms and training in their use against Muslim terrorists. Had this group been armed the terrorists would have killed fewer,been killed themselves and others deterred.

I only seem to hear about these stories from Pamela. Boycott Israel everywhere else. Who is funding all this. They have a huge amount of weapons. Trump could end this quickly in this area but it will spring right back. 9/11, ISIS. The truth about islam has to be pounded in people’s minds.

As expected, complete silence from Ardern in New Zealand.
