The Trump administration admonished the Nigerian government for its inaction toward Muslim terrorists who have been massacring Christians in the region.
In September, the Islamic terror group Boko Haram killed four Christian villagers in Madagali, Nigeria, injuring many others, International Christian Concern reported Thursday.
The inhabitants of the Wagga Mongoro village had just started rebuilding from an earlier attack in July when the Sept. 23 attack unfolded.
And while the frequent attacks seemingly have gone unnoticed by the Nigerian government, they have caught the attention of the U.S. Department of State.
“The United States remains deeply concerned about the levels of violence against Christians and members of other groups in Nigeria, including the threats posed by terrorist groups like Boko Haram and ISIS-West Africa in northern Nigeria. We have raised these issues with the Nigerian government at the highest levels,” a State Department spokesman told Newsweek.
“The Nigerian government must more effectively address the repeated attacks against vulnerable communities and ensure that its laws throughout the country are consistent with its commitment to religious freedom,” the spokesman said.
Apparently, the attacks even caught the attention of leftist comedian Bill Maher.
“If you don’t know what’s going on in Nigeria, your media sources suck,” Maher said during a Sept. 26 segment of “Real Time.”
“You are in a bubble. And again, I’m not a Christian, but they are systematically killing the Christians in Nigeria. They’ve killed over 100,000 since 2009; they’ve burned 18,000 churches. This is so much more — these are the Islamists, Boko Haram — this is so much more of a genocide attempt than what is going on in Gaza.” --->READ MORE HEREUgandan Christian Murdered by His Own Muslim Brother After Converting:
The Bible warns that following Jesus Christ comes at a high cost — and may even attract the ire of one’s own family.
One young man in Uganda learned that truth just one day after his conversion to Christianity.
Akram Kairoki, a high school student in Mbale City, Uganda, reportedly fatally stabbed his brother, Shafiki Wasike, on Sept. 1, according to Morning Star News.
On Aug. 31, a mere one day earlier, Wasike had trusted in Jesus Christ for salvation during an open air evangelism campaign.
That event had included a debate between Christianity and Islam, with Pastor David Wabomba of Bible Evangelism Ministries taking on a Muslim known as Sheik Abudallah.
According to the Christian minister, Wasike started receiving threats soon after his conversion.
“I spent a few hours guiding Wasike on the way of salvation and inviting him to church the following Sunday,” Wabomba told Morning Star News.
“Wasike was very happy before we parted ways. After three hours, Wasike called me by phone and said that his brother was sending some threatening message to him about being an embarrassment to the family and the Muslim faithful, hence risking his life.”
Morning Star News reported that Kairoki stabbed Wasike in the chest and near the ribs on his left side.
“Why should my brother stab me — I have done nothing wrong to him. It is only changing my faith and joining the Christian faith,” Wasike said, according to a fellow student.
Wasike’s cries drew the attention of three students, who rushed him to Mbale Regional Referral Hospital. --->READ MORE HERE
