Again, for the records,
we execute our rather unpleasant quarterly duty of compiling list of Islam-inspired
atrocities, against largely Christian communities in Nigeria.
Between July 1 and
September 30 of this year, there were at least 65 incidents of such terror
attacks. This led to the killing of 324
human beings, and the maiming of 280 others.
As we usually endeavour to remind the Church, a major reason why we do this compilation
is to identify with our afflicted brethren and ensure that their
sufferings are not overshadowed by political and economic considerations. This
attitude is particularly vindicated seeing the ongoing desperate attempts by
the Nigerian government and her Islamist apologists to bare-facedly deny that
such atrocities are ongoing! [see for example https://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/headlines/826878-alleged-christian-genocide-nigerian-lawmakers-to-send-delegation-to-us-congress.html]
We also hope these quarterly
reports will keep the Church alert to the realities of our times; and hopefully
learn to take appropriate actions - including watching, praying, and advocacy,
as necessary, so as to stem future occurrences of such satanically inspired
incidents. Of course, all these unwarranted
hatred and sadistic persecution also reflect the imminence of the shutdown of
the present order, as we await the arrival of our Lord Jesus Christ.
As usual, our report is
largely extracted from the global compilation published on The Religion of
Peace, TROP (https://www.thereligionofpeace.com/.)
TROP describes itself as a “non-political, fact-based site which examines the
ideological threat that Islam poses to human dignity and freedom”. It
emphasized that the data captured “are not incidents of
ordinary crime involving perpetrators who happen to be Muslim”, but “deadly
violence that is reasonably determined to have been committed out of religious
duty or sanction - as interpreted by the terrorist.”
The TROP acknowledges
that not all the attacks could be captured on their website, due to their not
being reported by mainstream press.
Shalom.
