When an Australian, Brenton Tarrant, attacked two mosques and killed 51 Muslims in 2019 in New Zealand, the world stood in condemnation; the hand-wringing has not stopped since. The United Nations responded to that lone and aberrant attack by inaugurating a "combat Islamophobia" initiative. Where, after years and decades of being attacked, are the UN initiatives to "combat anti-Semitism" and to "combat Christian genocide"? Ignoring the murder of Christians is, of course, only one piece of the puzzle; covering up the religious identity of their murderers is the other. In describing last Sunday's massacre of more than 50 Christians, the words "Muslim," "Islam," or even "Islamist" never appeared in the AP report. Rather, we are told that "It was not immediately clear who was behind the attack on the church." To maintain this ambiguity, the AP failed to point out that Islamic terrorists have routinely stormed churches and slaughtered many Christians over the years in Nigeria -- a fact that might just offer a hint as to "who was behind the attack." All the UN seems interested in doing is sitting by and watching its members violate its regulations... The UN ignores unspeakable crimes against humanity such as slavery or China's lies about the human-to-human transmissibility of COVID-19, while instead wrongfully persecuting Israel, a democracy that actually upholds human rights for all its citizens — whether Muslim, Jewish or Christian. So, what will the UN and other large governmental bodies do now in response to the shooting up of yet another church and murder of more than 50 Christians? Probably nothing — apart from trying to silence whoever tries to expose the ideology that many of the murderers say drives them. We know this because the UN and many members of the clergy have done absolutely nothing in response to the countless other Muslim attacks on churches that have claimed thousands of Christian lives over the years — except for trying to cover up the motivation of the murderers, as in "high on cannabis" or the "mental illness defense." Worse, the Biden administration's response to the jihadist onslaught against Christians in Nigeria — where 13 Christians are slaughtered every day — has been to remove Nigeria from the State Department's list of Countries of Particular Concern: nations which engage in, or tolerate violations of, religious freedom. Where is the outrage? Where are the "hashtags" in support of Christian Nigerians? Why don't these black lives matter? Last Sunday, Islamic terrorists murdered more than 50 Christians who were peacefully worshipping in St. Francis Catholic Church in Ondo State, Nigeria. Over the years, Muslims have assaulted, shot up or torched countless churches in Nigeria. Where is the outrage? Where are the "hashtags" in support of Christian Nigerians?

(Photo by AFP via Getty Images) Last Sunday, June 5, 2022, Islamic terrorists stormed St. Francis Catholic Church in Ondo State, Nigeria, and massacred more than 50 Christians who were peacefully worshipping their God. Videos, according to one report, "showed church worshippers lying in pools of blood while people around them wailed." As terrible as this massacre might seem, it is just the proverbial "tip of the iceberg": over the years, Muslims have assaulted, shot up or torched countless churches in Nigeria. Below are just three examples: Continue Reading Article
