CHRISTIAN PERSECUTION IN NIGERIA EXPLAINED:🧵

When I was in Cairo earlier this year and all hell broke loose with Egyptian State Security outside of USAID, here’s the secret part I could say little about at that time:

I wasn’t in Egypt for USAID.

I was there to meet with…

2/

…Nigerian Christians who have suffered at the hands of Boko Haram and the Fulani Herdsmen Militia, both Islamic terrorist groups.

You see, I was in Nigeria some years ago to report on the terror for Fox News. The plan was simple: I would fly into Abuja without…

3/

…bodyguards — I have a philosophy about the ineffectiveness of bodyguards in these situations — where I would be swiftly picked up, hidden in an automobile, and driven 6 hours to the north on roads where terrorist attacks are common. The idea, like visiting a cartel…

4/

…town or any other dangerous place, is to be in and out before the baddies know you’re there. (You can read more about that investigative report below.)

When I tried to return last year for the same reason, the Nigerian gov’t effectively…

5/

…blocked my entry. The Christians with whom I was to meet did not have visas to enter the US or Europe. No worries, I told them, I will meet you in Cairo. I would fly there directly from Switzerland after my annual trip to the WEF. Their passports would be good enough…

6/

…to get them into that country, and I was already planning to meet with persecuted Christians there known as the Zabbaleen. (Literally “The Garbage People” in Egyptian Arabic.)

Why the secrecy?

While Egypt isn’t an Islamic state, it is nonetheless a Muslim majority…

7/

…country where Islam is the state religion, and they aren’t too keen on Christians — especially African ones. (Westerns Christians are generally regarded as milquetoast tourists and not a threat.)

I had to write a letter of invitation and state the purpose of our….

8/

…meeting. Needless to say, I didn’t reveal the real purpose because the Egyptian gov’t would block their entry — Arabs treat black Africans, even Muslim ones, as inferiors — if not mine as well.

All of this would still be kept hush-hush were it not for the fact that…

9/

…after the USAID sh*t storm, I cannot return to Egypt ever again — and Cairo, I had hoped, would become our place to meet.

We have strived in our small way to assist and encourage these brave people who suffer in ways most Americans cannot conceive.

What…

10/

…does the persecution look like?

It’s planned well in advance, funded by Saudi Arabia and others, relies on a long term strategy, is aided by the UN, and news of the horrific reality is hotly suppressed.

The Strategy:

According to Islamic law, a man can have as…

11/

…many as 4 wives and innumerable concubines. An African Muslim male might have 50, 75, or even a 100 children. It’s common and encouraged.

Islamic leaders show up at his door and tell him they will feed and educate his children, but they must take them away.

He agrees…

12/

…and the children are driven to a neighboring Christian village or country where they are dropped off.

Truckloads of kids began showing up in Nigeria ~2000 and again ~2012. Nigerians will tell you they wondered what was going on. (Frankly, this is not too dissimilar…

13/

…from the Biden era program that imported illegal aliens and resettled them in red states.)

An imam will then give these children trinkets to sell, a minimum of food to encourage them to be resourceful thieves, and he will radicalize them.

As time drew near for an…

14/

…attack, the children will be given weapons — usually machetes and AK-47s — and some training. Because the children now know well the city, town, or village to be attacked, the terrorists will simply ask them, “Where does the vicar live?” or this or that person to be….

15/

…Murdered. This is the pattern repeated all over Western Africa. Initially, only northern Nigeria was affected, but the attacks have creeped southward over the last two decades.

One Nigerian Christian told me that he was watching TV in his home when the first attack…

16/

…occurred. He heard gunfire bursts and then the windows of his house exploded. Africans who can afford it have walls with shards of glass embedded in the top surrounding their homes.

He could see Fulani climbing his walls. Quickly he led his family out via an escape…

17/

…route he had long prepared. They lay in a cornfield and watched their home burn.

Well-off by Nigerian standards, he bought weapons and armed the people in his church. When the Fulani next attacked, the Christians bloodied them, inflicting massive casualties.

The UN…

18/

…intervened, called it “a human rights violation,” and disarmed Christians knowing full well that it made them vulnerable to more attacks.

As for the Nigerian government, it is now controlled by Muslims. They look the other way much like Saqid Kahn in London…

19/

…when a white person is knifed, r*ped, beheaded, or otherwise attacked.

This kind of thinking is alien to the Western mind because Westerners are heirs of a Christian moral sensibility whether they know it or not. Thus, Westerners, Americans most of all, …

20/

…cannot conceive that the violence is neither incidental nor anomalous.

Indeed, it is central to the strategy, be it in Nigeria, Sudan, Sadiq Khan’s London or (we hope not) Mamdani’s NYC. The goal is to kill you or drive you out. Conquest.

It’s working.

The exodus of…

21/

…Christians from northern and central Nigeria is repeating itself in London, NYC, Minneapolis, and the capitals of Europe.

Sura 9:5 of the Quran says:

“…kill the unbelievers wherever you find them, and take them, detain them, and sit in wait for them…

22/

…at every place. But if they repent and keep up the prayer…surely Allah is Merciful.”

It’s not “radical” Muslims who believe and practice this. It is orthodox Muslims, the ones who take the Quran, Hadith, and life of Muhammad seriously as every Muslim is…

23/

…supposed to do. And Muhammad modeled violence.

Let us pray for the persecuted, assist them, and resist evil. Thank you, President Trump!
