With so much of the legacy media’s focus spent on smearing Israel these days, you probably haven’t heard a ton about the ongoing massacres in Nigeria.
Islamists have murdered tens of thousands of defenseless Christians, displacing around 15 million people from their homes.
Medieval sexual violence and torture are regularly practiced by Islamist militants, who also recruit children into their terrorist army. Thousands of churches and schools have been burned down. Catholic priests are regularly targeted for kidnapping.
The victims of Boko Haram and other Islamist groups in Nigeria aren’t members of any army.
Yet, as far as I know, there have been no college protests or rallies in the streets of American cities decrying the systemic ethnic cleansing by Muslim forces. The Israel-obsessed right-wing podcasters, who claim to stand for Christian values and decency, barely, if ever, mention the slaughter of their co-religionists. They’re too busy with another topic.
In Sudan, another civil war has broken out. Around 150,000 civilians have been murdered so far, while around 12 million have been displaced from their homes. Again, Christians, along with non-Arab minorities, are among the most vulnerable.
Much like Hamas, the Muslim Brotherhood’s Sudanese Armed Forces, backed by countries like Turkey and Iran, enjoy producing gleeful videos of their wanton killing sprees.
On the other side of the war is the Rapid Support Forces, who are not much better. Not long ago they teamed up with Sudanese Armed Forces to ethnically cleanse the Sudanese population of non-Arabs.
Yet, this campaign of extermination garners no mentions from the Squad. The co-founder of Ben & Jerry’s hasn’t created a special flavor for the millions of victims of the Sudanese Islamist. The leaders of France, Britain, and Canada have yet to preen in front of the cameras as they recognize a state for the minorities of Sudan.
Then again, Christians, who predate Muslims in the Middle East by centuries, have been driven out or massacred in most Islamic nations. In the 20 years since Iraq was freed from Saddam Hussein, the Christian population has shrunk from 1.4 million to around 120,000. In Syria, the Christian population has dramatically contracted, as well, and is in constant danger. Christians made up somewhere around 80% of the Lebanese population at one point. Now it is under 30%. In Turkey, where Muslims have hit a hat trick of genocides (Armenians, Assyrians, and Greeks), the Christian population has shrunk from around 20% to somewhere around 0.2%. The Coptic Christians of Egypt live in constant fear.
The Christian population in both the Gaza Strip and the West Bank significantly decreased since Palestinians have taken control. If Israel annexed Christ’s birthplace, Bethlehem, tomorrow, the Christian population would immediately explode.
It’s difficult not to notice that Islamists are generally given a pass by the same Westerners who spend their days accusing Israel of war crimes.
Not that Israel-obsessives care about Muslim victims, either, mind you, if the oppressor isn’t a Westerner.
In Yemen, Iran-funded Houthis have sparked another civil war. Somewhere around 17 million people teeter on the edge of starvation daily, including over a million children.
You won’t see any flotillas packed with privileged celebrities dressed in keffiyehs headed to a Yemeni port to feed children in hunger.
Of course not. Unlike the Israelis, who gave activists air-conditioned rooms and airline tickets back to the comforts of their European homes, the Houthis would almost surely be less gracious.
There are no protests over Turkish ethnic cleansing efforts of Kurds from their own nation to northern Syria and Iraq. There are no big banners flown at left-wing protests condemning the ChiComs’ ethnic cleansing campaigns against Uyghurs, Tibetans, Dzungar and Hui and others. The Democratic Party’s mayoral candidate in New York City, who’s spent his adult life pretending to be a humanitarian, doesn’t think it worth mentioning this barbarism.
Those who rail against AIPAC never seem to care about the billions of dollars the petro-sheiks of Qatar dump into our institutions to corrode Western values.
Conversion to Christianity, incidentally, is still an apostasy in Qatar, punishable by the death sentence.
Do the young people, left and right, who’ve been propagandized into believing that Israel—and American Jews—are their enemy understand all of this is going on? Probably not.
Israel’s imaginary genocide dominates news coverage because progressives are obsessed with “colonizers” and the populist social-media bigots use the Jewish state to spread their own paranoia.
If they’re interested, however, there is plenty of real ethnic cleansing to protest.

They won’t even find out since mainstream media refuses to cover this. Can’t recall ANY protests since back when Angelina Jolie was sounding the alarm about Africa. The protestors don’t show up when they aren’t paid. And, massive silence the minute Hamas started shooting their “beloved Palestinians” in the town square. Hard to blame THAT on Israel. Not a peep.
Moron Mayor elect of NYC is one of those that see only Jewish genocide. He told his followers, in his acceptance rant that only Islamic people had built New York. Moron you need to go back to school and take your voters with you. All these campus anti Jew demonstrators don’t even know where Israel is located on a map. Nor can they name the river nor the sea they keep wailing about. The Jews have always been demonstrated against. The Western World knew about the Holocaust Hitler had created. But they kept quiet about it. Why? Why were so many Gestapo camp leaders allowed to flee to Brazil. Why were they from every general on down not shot after the war. They held a trial in n Nuremberg and most got off with a prison sentence. They had no right to a trial. The Jews DIDNT. They were stripped naked and gassed and afterwards the gold was pulled from their teeth. Their clothes searched for Jewels. Millions and millions of dollars they made with that. Krupps was a big weapon manufacturer during WW II and now we buy their Keurig coffee makers. Really. It’s enough to make these people turn in their grave wherever they ended up. We didn’t give a darn then why should it be any different today. The WEF has a plan to globalize the world and thinking people cannot be included in that. They need sheep, zombies to follow them into the gaschamber to make the Utopia these billionaires want.
Since the muslims started taking over in the ME and Africa, Christians have been murdered. And I will remind everyone about the way things ended when we helped in Somalia: our soldiers were dragged through the streets. I am not willing to have Americans at risk again for people who decide to be victims instead of fighting for themselves. Give them weapons and let them fight but keep American blood out of it. Our soldiers are not welfare workers and they are not allowed to be soldiers in these situations.
Notice that it its the Islams who are killing these Christians. It is despicable and we should be worried. And we should be very worried that Islams who have been running for office AND being elected in our country! This should be making everyone more than just worried, These evil beings are taking over our world. We cannot keep letting them get into public office or they will be the end of us!!
A group that states and practices a policy of death to anyone not of themselves is not going to respond to reason. The policy of death of everyone else is solid to their core. Protests and hand wringing will not win the day.
That group is starting their march through America.
It’s well past time for another Crusade. Exactly what good has come from the moslem world? Every last one of them is rooted in the 6th century, following a so-called god whose prophet is a petty warlord who practiced genocide and kept sex slaves. The present day followers live in luxury (sex slaves included, both male and female) while anyone who does not buy into their lies is eliminated or wishes they had been.
It seems as the whole world is under mass psychosis and is intent on killing itself, like beached whales. It refuses to see the facts
100,000 overdose deaths per year in the US are too many. I am glad Trump is finally putting America First. There are billions in the other hemisphere of means sufficient to handle their problems.
It is truly SCARY! Just think, it could happen here too if more Muslims take over….
We all need to look at these other countries. How they treat Christians. One day soon it will happen to our country. People need to start reading the Bible it is the true word of God and it explains everything that will happen to this country because there’s nothing new Under the Sun. I would start off with Daniel and Revelation because they go hand in hand.
Everything that “Palestinians” and Muslims touch turns to Excrement. Lebanon was the jewel of the Middle East and Beirut was the Paris of the Middle East until Yasser Arafat moved his killers into it in 1970. Now it is a hellhole full of butchers who regularly attack Israel. London is a shadow of its former self and NYC will soon follow. Muslims [radical] contribute NOTHING positive to anything. They screwed Sudan and, even after the South seceded, they are still killing innocent Christians. They screwed Nigeria and EVERYWHERE they go!
Praise for. David Harsanyi. for writing this important article . A good spirit builder could be in the Declaration of Independence’s at the end of the Declaration, the last sentence — ” And in support of this Declaration , with firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our lives, our fortunes, our sacred Honor .” Referring to that as a good spirit builder because it distinguishes those who have a moral sense and live by it from those who don’t . The barbarians murdering believers in Christ in foreign countries and their supporters here in America are Evil and. when evil is encountered good people need to take a stand against it. God. Bless America , land of the free and home of the brave
Islam can be likened to a blackbird laying an egg in a robin’s nest. The baby blackbird accepts all the food that mama robin gives it which enables it to grow bigger and push the robin babies out of the nest to their deaths.
And those Christians need to be Trained and Armed or this will continue to happen until there are no more Christians in Nigeria and then in other countries.
It doesn’t fit in with the Progressive Party’s agenda nor with their liberal main stream press, so they’ll ignore it and do their best to keep what’s happening away from the public’s eye. They brutalize Christianity at every opportunity while running cover for Muslim atrocities. The Democrat Party that we once knew is but a memory having been taken over by the Progressives.
The Scriptures are clear….the world is no friend to God. No friend to the Son of God. No friend to those who follow the Son of God, known as Christians today. So why would any Christian not expect the persecutions, murders, and mayhem of those who are of the world (such as Islam,and atheistic governments)? Even many Christians are blind to the world’s treatment of their “fellow believers” out there (not in the U.S.). Historically, the Christian faith has endured since the coming of Christ, any and all forms of evil treatment. Scripture also reveals that as the whole of creation draws closer to the last day and the return of the Savior, things will escalate to the point that “even the faithful will be tempted to fall” as the Christ says. If the people who say they stand with their brothers and sisters in Christ across the globe are beholden to their word, there should be push back. But you will find, in America, there is little done to save or support the people of God. So don’t expect much to change. In the end, those faithful who have been killed will join the throng in heaven, while the rest will be retained in the abyss, prepared for Satan and his fellow demons. The end, under God’s hands will solve all these problems completely. Meanwhile, Christians are duty bound to help their fellow believers in any way they can……it’s up to the faithful to do that duty. Don’t expect worldly governments to take up this mantle.
Talk about “colonizers”, look at the way Muslims are taking over the West. Sharia Law is imposed in London and Michigan; even in Texas! It is spreading like a malignant cancer!! Our youth is voting for Islamic Terrorists. It is too bad our youth were not alive during 9/11.
As several have noted, it is radical Islamists who are killing Christians, Druze, and even non-conforming Muslims, But in India, it is the radical governing party [Hindu] that is killing Indian Christians. And they ALL kill Jews! Satan is always attacking followers of the REAL GOD!
Alas been going on for years & nothing done IE unofficial, back channels
This article we had a few days ago.
CBN wont even cover story
Amen!!! (but they’re too scared of THEM to say anything!) like when the Mafia ruled cities and states here… if it EVER REALLY stopped!
those mostly peaceful muslims at it again ,of course the mainstream media says nothing. The left loves muslims because they hate chrisitans as much as leftists
Trump has taken notice.
an apostasy – interesting word. I don’t believe Mahatma Gandhi’s method to bring peace will work in Africa. And I don’t believe the Christian population in these countries have the means or will to support armed resistance. From what I read, most of the people in Africa and else where hate Christians the same way Democrats hate trump. They have nothing to base their hate, they just hate them. The Christians, for the most part, are not Americans and most are not even white. But, where as Jesus was the prince of love and peace, Muhamad was the prince of war. The Islamic world will never accept Christianity. Just like there will never be peace in the middle east between the Jews and the Islamic countries. It just ain’t gona happen….
What does Trump mean when he posted notice to Nigeria to quit killing Christians or will come in WITH GUNS ABLAZIN ? That reeks of boots on the ground.
Article says Sudanese brotherhood is backed by Iran & Turkey. And Turkey has been killing kurds since US pulled out. So why does Trump keep saying that Turkey is a friend of his & likes the way that Erogan operates & whey does he trust Turkey to help wipe out HAMAs in gaza strip? Appears to me that the brotherhood is strong against nations like USA.
No mention of the Christians and the very ancient Christian Churches that have been destroyed by the Israelis? Not even a peep? Anyone visited that “awesome” nation and enjoyed being spat upon by the few actual believers in Judaism there as well as their Zionist atheist neighbors? And we give that nations billions upon billions every year allowing them to kill the very people the US displaced to provide those scum with a place to call home…….like Jimmy Carters Habitat For Humanity multiplied by a billion. Welfare soaking forever victims……..that is who our “Israeli Allies” truly are.
OH and isn’t it sweet that Trump is rolling out the red carpet for the ISIS leader we propped up to head Syria? Trump apparently likes to “enjoy” underage children while also enjoying the company of head choppers such as the current head of Syria.
MAGA is dead.
Ok boomer. Go ask god to send some angels. For you lol
