Nigeria: Muslims STORM church and open fire, SLAUGHTER at least 50 Christians, including CHILDREN, injure dozens

And there will be no condemnation of the Islamic texts and teachings that incite such unimaginable carnage. Any commentary will be deemed “islamophobic.”

Robert Spencer wrote, “Once again, this is a near-daily occurrence in Nigeria that is met with international indifference. The media narrative is that Muslims are always and in every circumstances victims, and that Christians are white oppressors. Stories of this kind don’t fit the narrative and are accordingly ignored.”

At least 50 people are feared dead after gunmen opened fire on worshippers and detonated explosives at a Catholic church in southwestern Nigeria on Sunday, officials said.

The violence at St. Francis Catholic Church in Owo town, in Ondo State, happened during the morning service on Pentecost Sunday in a rare attack in the southwest of the African country.
