September 3rd, 2025 – In Nigeria, 125,000 Christians have been murdered since 2009 by twenty separate Islamic terrorist groups, including Boko Haram, Alliance for Jihad, and Fulani Jihadist herdsmen. Over 19,000 churches have been razed, 1,000 Christian communities sacked, and 600 Christian clerics abducted by Islamic terror groups.

In 2014, during President Obama’s administration, Boko Haram kidnapped 276 predominantly Christian school girls, aged 16 to 18, who were taken into the bush, raped, and subjected to forced marriage with their Muslim captors.

Michelle Obama made the kidnapping into a public cause with the hashtag #BringBackOurGirls. Some of the girls escaped captivity while others were rescued by the military and reunited with their families. Approximately eighty girls, now women, are still missing and are assumed to be in captivity.

President Obama framed the Muslim genocide in Marxist terms as an economic issue between cattle herdsmen (oppressed) and farmers (oppressors) rather than a religious conflict between Muslims and Christians. Obama’s Secretary of State John Kerry wrote to the Christian president of Nigeria, Goodluck Jonathan, that the US was deeply concerned that Nigerian security forces committed gross human rights violations in killing thirty Boko Haram terrorists.

Boko Haram means “Western education is sinful.” The group’s leader, Abubakar Shekau, claimed responsibility for the mass abduction and threatened to sell the girls into slavery, which is permitted under Islam, as the girls were infidels.

Since 2014, Amnesty International has documented at least seventeen cases of mass abductions in which at least 1,700 children have been seized from their schools.

The majority of murders are occurring in northern Nigeria, but persecution is also happening in Biafra, an oil-rich state in southeastern Nigeria. The majority of Biafrans are Christians and have unsuccessfully attempted to secede and form their own independent nation.

Not only is genocide being committed in Nigeria, but Christians are being persecuted and slaughtered by Muslims in Ethiopia, Eritrea, Somalia, Sudan, the Central African Republic, Mozambique, Uganda, and Kenya.

Islamic terror groups are also slaughtering Muslims for not being true believers in the terrorist group’s particular version of Islam.

Summary

Islamic terror groups are slaughtering and persecuting Christians and other infidels throughout Africa, the Middle East, and Pakistan. Yet the U.N., mass media, and progressive governments ignore the ongoing Christian genocide. The New York Times (NYT) had labeled Boko Haram as not a problem and peaceful. The NYT continues its tradition of being wrong on major issues – Stalin’s starvation policies in the Ukraine, Fidel Castro, communism in general, and now Islam.

Instead, anti-semitic progressive governments and media focus on the Gaza war, which Hamas initiated with Gazan public support. The war would end now if Hamas surrendered and gave up the hostages. It is a war crime to take civilians as hostages.

President Obama explained away the Muslim atrocities in terms of Marxist economic grievances and the Christian Nigerian president for being too aggressive (oppressors) against Boko Haram terrorists (oppressed). Obama was also upset at President Goodluck for not supporting his two-state Palestinian solution in the U.N. As a result, Obama tilted the US government towards the 2015 election of the Muslim and former Nigerian dictator Buhari, who would be amenable to the two-state solution, and placed an arms embargo on Nigeria. Buhari won.

In 2020, the Trump administration listed Nigeria as a country of particular concern on religious freedom. The Biden administration de-listed the “concern.”

Action

1. Recognize that Islamic Jihad’s goal is to dominate the world.
2. Support governments and mercenary armies that oppose Jihad.
3. Support Israel in its fight for survival.
4. Develop policies that increase security for Christian communities.

PEACE THROUGH STRENGTH!
