The United States Government has added Nigeria to its blacklist as one of the countries that have engaged in “severe violations of religious freedom.” The Trump administration had in December 2019, added Nigeria to a Special Watch List of countries tolerating violent crimes against religious freedom. Today, the United States Secretary of State, Mike Pompeo, had announced that Nigeria has been added to the "blacklist" on violations against religious freedom. Today the U.S. designates Burma, China, Eritrea, Iran, Nigeria, the DPRK, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Tajikistan, and Turkmenistan as countries of concern under the International Religious Freedom Act of 1998 for engaging systematic, ongoing, egregious religious freedom violations.

Don't worry. President Joe Biden will overturn that racist decision by January, latest February. Come 2023, APC should endeavour to pick a Catholic as their Presidential flagbearer so that they can get the support of Biden. Very important. OUK, Amaechi and Okorocha are all Catholics so APC has a rich pool to choose from. 8 Likes 3 Shares |

These people are still living in the past. The mighty influence and hegemoney that you had in the past is rapidly diminishing and will soon become nonexistent. USA has one of the highest cases of homicides in the world, the highest number of covid-19 deaths in the world, the greatest number of mass shootings in the world and worst of all, they are seen as the greatest threat to world peace (I didn't make this up. A research was conducted on this). And yet they are making different kinds of silly lists. If its not travel safety list, it's human rights violators' list. If it's not anti-religious list, it's state sponsors of terrorism list. Clowns  34 Likes 4 Shares |

America and Hypocrisy are like Bread and Butter. Islamophobia in the United States Islamophobia in the United States can be described as the affective distrust and hostility towards Muslims, Islam, and those perceived as following the religion and or appear as members of the religion and its associative groups. This social aversion and bias is facilitated and perpetuated by violent and uncivilized stereotypes portrayed in various forms of American media networks and political platforms that result in the marginalization, discrimination, and exclusion of the Muslims and Muslim perceived individuals. Media and politicians capitalize on public fear and distrust of Muslims through laws that target Muslims, while the media emphasizes Muslim religious extremism in association with violent activity. Advocacy groups like Center for American Progress explain that this social phenomenon is not new, but rather, has increased its presence in American social and political discourse over the past ten to fifteen years. They cite that several organizations donate large amounts of money to create the "Islamophobia megaphone". CAP defines the megaphone analogy as "a tight network of anti- Muslim, anti- Islam foundations, misinformation experts, validators, grass root organizations, religious rights groups and their allies in the media and in politics" who work together to misrepresent Islam and Muslims in the United States. As a result of this network, Islam is now one of the most stigmatized religions, with only 37 percent of Americans having a favorable opinion of Islam, according to a 2010 ABC News/ Washington Post poll. This biased perception of Islam and Muslims manifests itself into the discrimination of racially perceived Muslims in the law and media, and is conceptually reinforced by the Islamophobia network. A report from the University of California Berkeley and the Council on American–Islamic Relations estimated that $206 million was funded to 33 groups whose primary purpose was "to promote prejudice against, or hatred of, Islam and Muslims" in the United States between 2008 and 2013, with a total of 74 groups contributing to Islamophobia in the United States during that period. This has been referred to as the "Islamophobia industry" by scholars Nathan Lean and John Esposito. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islamophobia_in_the_United_States 17 Likes 4 Shares |
