destroy 28 churches since mid-May

In a generation, there will be no trace of Christians in the areas where the jihadis are attacking in Nigeria, and the international media will refer to the region as “the heart of Islamic West Africa.”
Fulani Militants Murder 300+ Christians and Destroy 28 Churches since mid-May
International Christian Concern, June 8, 2023:
Fulani militants murdered more than 300 Christians, including two pastors, and destroyed 28 churches since mid-May in Plateau State, Nigeria. The Islamic extremists also displaced 30,000 Christians and destroyed 2,000 homes in recent attacks, according to local sources.
The Christian population in Nigeria faces a growing persecution threat since Boko Haram’s insurgency in the 2010s. The insurgency and its splinter group Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP), primarily operate in northeastern Nigeria, while Fulani militants operate in the central and southern regions.
Fulani militants execute a “comparable strategy to Boko Haram and ISWAP and demonstrate a clear intent to target Christians and potent symbols of Christian identity,” according to a report by the UK All Party Parliamentary Group for International Freedom of Religion or Belief (APPG)….
It's called genocide and it appears for all the world to be state-sanctioned.
Eight Pakistan nationals arrested in Greece in connection with terror plot
Greek City Times, June 13, 2023:
Unconfirmed reports suggest that eight Pakistan nationals have been arrested in Greece for plotting terror attacks. The arrests have once again brought the spotlight back on Pakistan which has been the main spreader of jihadist terrorism across the globe.
And it still is!
Of all different kinds of political-religious terrorism, transnational jihadist terrorism is the most threatening one to western values, interests and societies. This form of terrorism is the product of a combination of Islamist ideology and the idea of the jihad.
In this regard, Pakistan origin terrorists have been at the forefront in executing this form of terrorism. In September 2020, Europe felt a sudden jolt when arrest warrants were issued for fourteen Pakistanis in Italy in connection with the terrorist attack on the Charlie Hebdo office in Paris….
Following further investigations into the March 2023 terror plot, unconfirmed sources claim that eight more Pakistani nationals have been arrested in June 2023. All of them supposedly belong to Sargodha area of Pakistan.
These arrests underline that the spike in illegal migration of radical Pakistanis to Greece has only undermined the security concerns of the country….
Let us not forget that it is almost exclusively Pakistani Muslims who are responsible for the rape and trafficking of tens of thousands of little British girls. And, I'm sure this phenomenon is not restricted to the UK.
Finland's new government announces 'paradigm shift'
with immigration crackdown
Finland's new coalition government, which includes the far-right Finns Party, on Friday
announced plans to crack down on immigration with the far right heading the interior ministry.

"I am delighted that together with our negotiating partners we have agreed on an immigration package that can rightly be called a paradigm shift," Finns Party leader Riikka Purra told reporters alongside her government partners.
Purra, whose anti-immigration party came second in the April elections with their highest support ever, said that until now "Finland has been the only Nordic country with a looser immigration policy."
"This changes now," she added.
The government on Friday said it aimed to halve the number of refugees the Nordic country receives through the UN refugee agency from 1,050 a year to 500.
It also aims to establish separate social security benefit systems for immigrants and permanent residents which experts say potentially clash with the constitution.
Conditions for obtaining permanent residency and citizenship will also be tightened, Purra added, with new requirements on language skills and longer periods of residence.
Residence permits granted under international protection "will become temporary and their duration will be reduced to the EU minimum," Purra said, adding that they will in future be "withdrawn if a person is on holiday in their country of origin".
The government also plans to crack down on street gangs, aiming to increase penalties for gang activity and introduce new legislation that makes street gang activity a separate aggravating offence.
The gangs were a major election topic for the Finns Party, who highlighted neighbouring Sweden's challenges with gang shootings and bombings, laying the blame on immigrants.
In 2021, around 8.5 percent of Finland's population, or 470,000 people, were of foreign origin.
Austerity plan
Future Prime Minister Petteri Orpo appears to have had to concede on the immigration crackdown in order to secure support for his six-billion-euro austerity plan.
"We've had to make cuts and savings even where we felt bad. But at the same time we are making sure that tomorrow will be better," Orpo said.
Finland's debt-to-GDP ratio has risen from 64 percent in 2019 to 73 percent, which Orpo aims to address with significant cuts to spending.
"We cannot put our heads in the sand. There is no more money," he said.
Unlike the other government parties, the eurosceptic Finns Party campaigned for a hard line on immigration, sparking conflicts in the arduous negotiations to form a government that lasted nearly two months following April's general election.
The far-right clashed specifically with their future government ally Swedish People's Party (RKP), which views immigrants as vital in combatting the country's ageing population.
"I am sure that every party has had to accept things that it would not promote or that it would even oppose," RKP leader Anna-Maja Henriksson said.
ETLA research institute in February said Finland would need to triple net immigration to address low birthrates and an ageing populace.
In the April elections, the Social Democrats led by outgoing Prime Minister Sanna Marin fell to third place with 43 seats, behind the National Coalition Party on 48 seats and the far right's 46.
The four right-wing government parties hold 108 seats out of 200 in parliament.

Nine arrested for people smuggling after Greece migrant ship disaster
Nine Egyptians have been arrested on suspicion of being people smugglers after the migrant
boat disaster off Greece that claimed at least 78 lives, a port source told AFP Thursday.

Among the detainees is the captain of the overloaded and dilapidated vessel, the source said.
Greek news agency ANA reported that the Egyptians were arrested in the Peloponnese port of Kalamata on suspicion of illegal trafficking of human beings. Kalamata is where survivors of the disaster are being cared for.
The International Organization for Migration has said it fears hundreds of more people drowned in one of the worst tragedies in the Mediterranean for a decade.
Government spokesman Ilias Siakantaris on Wednesday said there were unconfirmed reports that up to 750 people had been on the boat.

Fulani Terrorists Kill 46 Christians in Benue State, Nigeria
Morning Star News, June 14, 2023:
ABUJA, Nigeria (Morning Star News) – Fulani herdsmen on June 3 and 4 killed 46 Christians in attacks on a cluster of villages in Benue state, Nigeria, sources said.
The herdsmen invaded Imande Mbakange village in the early hours of June 3, killing 28 Christians, according to a press statement from the Shitile Development Association, signed by Samuel Door, SDA president, and Ephraim Zuai, secretary of the association.
On June 4, Fulani herdsmen killed another 18 Christians, six in each of the villages of Michihe, Achamegh and Mbagene Kpav, they said.
“Altogether, 46 Christians were killed by the terrorists in the two days of attacks on our communities,” they said. “Most disturbing also is the fact that the identity of the perpetrators is known to security agencies and the Nigerian government, and yet nothing has been done to end this carnage.”…
As I said - it's state-sanctioned genocide!
Nigeria led the world in Christians killed for their faith in 2022, with 5,014, according to Open Doors’ 2023 World Watch List (WWL) report. It also led the world in Christians abducted (4,726), sexually assaulted or harassed, forcibly married or physically or mentally abused, and it had the most homes and businesses attacked for faith-based reasons. As in the previous year, Nigeria had the second most church attacks and internally displaced people.
In the 2023 World Watch List of the countries where it is most difficult to be a Christian, Nigeria jumped to sixth place, its highest ranking ever, from No. 7 the previous year….
The 5 places allegedly worse than Nigeria:
1. North Korea
2. Somalia
3. Yemen
4. Eritrea
5. Libya
Of the top ten, only North Korea is not Muslim.
Worst countries to be a Christian
