I am late to this article. I should have highlighted right away. In Nigeria, 160 people were killed, and 300 injured in attacks on 26 Christian communities over Christmas. You can find the story at Townhall.com by Leah Barkoukis at Christians In Nigeria Massacred in Christmas Weekend Terror Attacks.
At least 160 Nigerian Christians were murdered and 300 injured in a series of terror attacks over Christmas weekend, according to multiple reports.
The attacks on at least 26 Christian communities made it “one of the most violent [times] in the area’s history,” Maria Lozano, a representative for the group Aid to the Church in Need, told the Catholic News Agency.
President of the Christian Association of Nigeria Archbishop Daniel Okoh condemned the attacks, which some have blamed on the Muslim Fulani militia.
“We condemn these acts of violence in the strongest possible terms. The burning down of houses, and worship centers, and the destruction of properties worth millions of naira is not only a criminal act but also a direct assault on our shared values of peace, unity, and mutual respect,” Okoh said, reports CNA.One forgets that Nigeria was a Christian nation until the Muslims swept through. But their faith is strong. That may be because they are under constant threat from the local branch of Islam "holy warriors." This is only the most recent attack too. Gentle readers, please pray for Christians around the world who are under attack, that they may remain strong and not bow down to Allah, who claims to sit on God's throne. While you're at it, pray for the jihadis too, because Satan has duped the people into believing he is the true God.
