  Coach Tommy Tuberville @SenTuberville · 1h You won’t hear this from the mainstream media, but 62 THOUSAND Christians have been MURDERED by ISLAM EXTREMISTS in Nigeria. It is a GENOCIDE. Extreme Islamic ideology has NO PLACE in America. The mass murder of Christians has no place anywhere in the world.  See also: Eric Daugherty @EricLDaugh · 1h UPDATE: Senator Tommy Tuberville (R-AL) is pushing to BAN Sharia Law nationwide, calls out the GENOCIDE of Christians by Muslims "This extreme ideology is straight from the pit of HELL, and it has no place in American society!" "You won't hear from Democrats about how radical Islamic terrorists are currently carrying out a mass genocide of Christians in Nigeria." "Think about this. More than 62,000 Christians have been slaughtered since 2000 by radical Islamic terrorists in Nigeria. You heard that right, 62,000." "And just this year alone, more than 7,000 Nigerian Christians have been murdered beca...

  Vigilant Fox  @VigilantFox · 10h CNN’s Van Jones shocks viewers by putting the mainstream media on blast for IGNORING the mass slaughter of Christians in Nigeria. “The fact that there’s almost no response from the global left and no attention from mainstream media is a CRIME against African people, black people, and human rights.” MAHER: “You’re talking about young people. A lot of them seem to know one thing: white people did some very bad things in this world, and they certainly did. But there are other things to know… Nigeria: this is an actual planned genocide. They really want to kill all the Christians in that country, and they are systematically doing it.” VAN JONES: “And the fact that there’s almost no response from the global left and no attention from mainstream media is a crime against African people, black people, and human rights. I agree with that 100%.” Van Jones then laid out a theory about why networks like CNN have failed to cover the crisis in Nigeria....

  Vivid. @VividProwess · 20h “Last year alone, Muslims kiIIled 500,000 Christians in only Nigeria. Why are they only talking about Palestine?" He is 100% correct. Muslims in Nigeria clearly do not believe in the freedom of religion.  This is mass murder on a grand scale. Those responsible for this mass murder should be held accountable.

Gatestone Institute: "Every two hours [in Nigeria], a Christian is killed for their faith." — Open Doors, April 22, 2022. [T]he Associated Press (AP) failed to mention that the massacres occurred during Christmas, just as it failed to mention the identities of the attackers (Muslims) and their victims (Christians). Rather, it presented the conflict, as many commentators increasingly do, as a supposedly regrettable byproduct of climate change... "It's tough to tell Nigerian Christians this isn't a religious conflict since what they see are Fulani fighters clad entirely in black, chanting 'Allahu Akbar!' and screaming 'Death to Christians.'" — Sister Monica Chikwe, Nigerian nun, cruxnow.com, August 4, 2019. In 2020, President Donald J. Trump placed Nigeria on the State Department's List of Countries of Particular Concern — that is, nations which engage in, or tolerate violations of, religious freedom. Under President Joseph R. Biden, howeve...

  NY Times: Navy Commandos Rescue American Kidnapped in Niger U.S. Special Operations forces conducted a predawn raid in neighboring Nigeria to free the American before he could be sold to terrorists. I am guessing that this was an operation by a SEAL unit. They are very good at this sort of operation. Epoch Times has much more on the operation by SEAL Team 6 to free Philip Walton.

Steve Berman: They Are Being Butchered, But Where Is The Media Coverage and the Outrage? Around 300 Christians were killed in Jos in recent days.

Washington Examiner: U.S. Green Berets and Nigerien forces in Niger were involved in a battle with those believed to be Islamic State militants in December — an episode the U.S. military acknowledged for the first time this week, according to a new report. According to Samantha Reho, a spokesperson for U.S. Africa Command, Nigerien and American troops “came under fire from a formation of violent extremists," starting a fight which ended in the deaths of 11 ISIS militants. U.S. and Nigerien troops were not harmed in the fight. The December attack came just two months after the deadly ambush of the joint patrol of U.S. and Nigerien forces in Niger in October, which took the lives of four American soldiers. The battle was mentioned in an unclassified report obtained by the New York Times and delivered to Congress this week by the Trump administration, which claimed that U.S. and Nigerien forces had responded “in self-defense” after coming under fire. “The purpose of the mis...

NY Times: Endless Rape as War Refuge Turns to Terror Thousands of women and girls have endured Boko Haram’s sexual violence. But Nigerian security forces have also preyed on the people they are assigned to protect. Nigeria sounds like a place where there are few men that women can trust.  Boko Haram thinks its Islamic religious beliefs give its members the right to take women and use them as sex slaves.  It is not clear what the Nigerian army believes, but it is clear that the troops lack discipline and basic humanity.

Guardian: The US special forces detachment ambushed in the Niger last month fought alone for hours after the local Nigerien forces they were accompanying fled in the first minutes of the engagement, retired and serving special forces officers with knowledge of events have said. The trapped soldiers also made repeated efforts to convince French warplanes sent from neighbouring Mali to engage the enemy, attempting to “talk in” the pilots who refused to attack due to poor weather, rough terrain and an inability to differentiate friend from foe, the officers said. ... The ambush took place at 11:40pm on 4 October after the unit had spent two hours in Tongo Tongo, talking to local elders. The previous night, the Americans had destroyed a camp used by Djoundjoun Cheiffou, a lieutenant of Abu Waleed al-Sahraoui, an Islamic extremist based in neighbouring Mali who last year pledged allegiance to Islamic State. Local media in Niger revealed this week that Cheffou was in detention there ...
