Islam Hates Christians > >50,000 Nigerian Christians Murdered in 15 years; Terrorists destroy 70 churches in 2 small counties in Nigeria; Pro-Hamas mob spit on Christians in Australia

 

Nigeria: Muslims have murdered over 50,000 Christians

since 2009

The world yawns. It can’t be blamed on Israel, and it can’t be fit into the media narrative of Christians as white oppressors and Muslims as brown victims. And so it doesn’t exist.

ICC Releases Report on Concerning Religious Persecution Trends

in Nigeria

International Christian Concern, July 10, 2024:

7/10/2024 United States (International Christian Concern) — International Christian Concern (ICC) released a report on Wednesday outlining the concerning religious freedom conditions for Christians in Nigeria.

For almost two decades, the right to religious freedom has rapidly deteriorated in the West African country. Since the rise of Islamic terrorist groups in 2009, Nigeria’s Christian community has faced extremist violence at an alarming rate. From then until today, more than 50,000 Christians have been slaughtered by violent insurgency groups — and the silence from Western nations on this genocide is appalling….


 


Terrorists Shut Down 70 Churches in Nigeria;

Priest Released

Morning Star News, July 8, 2024:

ABUJANigeria (Christian Daily InternationalMorning Star News) – Terrorist attacks have forced a denomination to close 70 churches in central Nigeria’s Plateau state, and in the country’s northwest, a kidnapped a priest was released on Sunday (July 7), sources said.


The Rev. Amos Mohzo, president of the Church of Christ in Nations (COCIN), told Christian Daily International-Morning Star News that attacks by Fulani herdsmen and other terrorists have forced 70 congregations in Plateau state’s Mangu and Bokkos counties to stop services in the past two years. The Christmas attacks last December directly affected COCIN congregations, he said.

“Our members were killed, people were killed, people lost their houses, many traumatized, and we couldn’t do anything,” Pastor Mohzo said. “We were stranded, but we had to face the challenge, and Christmas was celebrated by displaced Christians in Internally Displaced People’s (IDPs) camps in spite of the tragedy.”

In the Mangu area, attacks forced at least 40 COCIN congregations to close, he said.

“Most of these members of our church were displaced, and many of them are living in camps outside their communities,” Pastor Mohzo said. “Most of these Christians have been moving here and there trying to survive or find succor.”

In the Bokkos area, the denomination lost “about 30” congregations, he said.

“All our worship church buildings in these communities were burned down by the terrorists,” Pastor Mohzo said. “Internally Displaced Christians from these communities are still living in camps outside their communities. And even now, most of them who are farmers are unable to go to their farms.”…




Australia: Pro-Hamas mob targets Greek Orthodox church,

spit on people entering as prime minister visits

Antisemitic elements within the Orthodox Church likely have no problem with this, as they have no idea that they’re next on the target list.

Another Satanic Reversal as these two stupid women accuse Zionists of what they themselves are.

‘Hail Satan’: Alaskan Council Meeting Opens with Prayer to Lucifer


Kenai, Alaska

The mundanity of a local council meeting in Alaska was astonishingly broken when a decision to open up the forum to all religions resulted in a Satanist presenting the opening prayer – to Lucifer.

When the local government of Kenai Borough decided to welcome other faiths to their assemblies they probably didn’t envisage opening up their doors to the Lord of Darkness.

On Tuesday, Iris Fontana – reportedly a member of the Satanic Temple organization that views Satan as a symbol for rebellion and rational inquiry – gave the assembly invocation usually reserved for pastors. 

Meeting attendees were reminded that they did not have to participate in the opening ritual.

Assembly members stood silently in a circle while Fontana asked them to “embrace the Luciferian impulse to eat of the tree of knowledge.” She then ended the surreal prayer with the words “Hail Satan.”

The tree of knowledge is a direct reference to the rebellion of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. In the Genesis account the actual name of the tree was ' The Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil'. Satanists deny the legitimacy of the Bible, but then don't hesitate to use, or abuse it.

While traditional Satanism may invoke well-worn images of horned beasts, cloaked figures, and fiery underground lairs, the Satanic Temple is an atheist organization. Its website explains that it does not promote evil or the belief in supernatural beings.

Yet, it worships a supernatural being! 

“The Satanic Temple holds to the basic premise that undue suffering is bad, and that which reduces suffering is good. We do not believe in symbolic ‘evil.’ We embrace blasphemy as a legitimate expression of personal independence from counter-productive traditional norms,” it states.

How can you blaspheme that which does not exist? These people are either extremely deceptive, extremely deceived, or extremely stupid, or perhaps all three.

Footage of the unorthodox assembly opening, which preceded a fairly humdrum meeting regarding a $138,000 paving project and changing a hospital boundary, has been posted on the Kenai Peninsula Borough website.

However, the excitement of a prayer to the supposedly God-banished angel has not gone down too well with some assembly members.

“I appreciate what the Assembly President’s doing with the prayer issue and trying to be fair, but I find it ironic that the prayer from the atheist wasn’t really about doing good and making good decisions,” assemblyman Dale Bagley told Radio Kenai.

He described the incident as “irritating” and questioned whether a local pastor would be allowed to make such a political statement.
