Tony Perkins, the chairman of the US Commission on International Religious Freedom, spoke with CBN News about the alarming trend that religious freedom monitors say is turning some churches and other houses of worship around the world into houses of horror.
Two Republican senators are asking President Trump to protect Christians facing ongoing brutal persecution from Islamic groups in Nigeria.

Iowa senators Joni Ernst and Chuck Grassley recently sent him a letter, asking the president to consider deploying a special envoy to help end the Christian genocide in Nigeria.

In their letter, the senators point to 40,000 Nigerian deaths tied to the Islamic terrorist group Boko Haram.

Along with other Islamic militants known as the Fulani herdsmen, the Boko Haram has long threatened the lives of Christians in the West African country.

Two years ago during a meeting, President Trump asked Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari to protect "innocent civilians of all faiths."

But Ernst and Grassley want more done to protect the lives of Christians.

As CBN News reported earlier this month, a report released by a Nigerian organization estimates around 620 Christians were killed in the African country by Islamic militants during the first five months of 2020 alone.

The International Society for Civil Liberties & Rule of Law (ISCLRL), an organization not aligned with the Nigerian government, released the report which also warned militant Fulani herdsmen and the Boko Haram have intensified their anti-Christian violence in the old Middle Belt and Northeast regions of the country with the burning or destroying of Christian centers of worship and learning. In addition, hundreds of homes have been destroyed.

The ISCLRL headed by Christian Emeka Umeagbalasi noted in its report no fewer than 620 defenseless Christians have been killed since the year began with no reprisal action taken by the government or the Nigerian military forces against the Fulani or the Boko Haram.

"The atrocities against Christians have gone unchecked and risen to alarming apogee with the country's security forces and concerned political actors looking the other way or colluding with the Jihadists," the report said.

The organization also estimated that more than 32,000 Christians have been killed there by Islamic militants since 2009.

The mainstream media in the US has remained largely silent as the Muslim terrorists' merciless killing of Nigerian Christians rages on.

Nigeria is ranked 12th on Open Doors' 2020 World Watch List of countries where Christians suffer the most persecution.

No wonder they are afriad

Hmmm!
No where is safe in the country again.
May God come to our rescue.
But Trump himself has enough up his sleeves in his own country Sha.

The Republican Senators are really on point. It's high time USA save us from Buhari's brethren.

Better..

E don dey be.na small small.

More are coming on board, Nigeria can never continue like this

This is what Buhari would have apply for if he has a clean hand in the war...people are dieing anyhow in the north , so unfortunate for the northern christains that they are facing many enemies than others.

No wonder Garba Shehu and this mumu government are shouting themselves hoarse.The blood of the innocent will continue to shout for justice.

Egungun don enter market. If Buhari government doesn't feel pressure from international community he won't be proactive in tackling this killings

I said it. There's no smoke without fire. This's exactly why they released that press statement yesterday. It shows how frightening IPOB is to FG.

Nice development

Give us oduduwa. One nigeria is a fraud. I cant believe i am saying this but God bless IPOB. WHERE OR HOW CAN I CONTRIBUTE TO THIS NOBLE CAUSE?

Welcome development

one of the best news have read today...


*.....I think my landlord is cleaning the house for me l found all my property outiside*���...

Some Buhari miscreants called iPod terrorist, iPod will keep terrorizing them with the truth.
Stupid idiots,do u think if is the fulanis, other tribes are killing, Buhari will keep quiet?

They will soon sponsor one attack in a mosque.

Very predictable lots.

Now, we know why Buhari is suddenly crying about Nnamdi Kalu.

Nigeria has to be rescued urgently

Lol


Special Envoy to come and beat Buhari or to come and highjack presidency from Buhari or to come and hand over Beafruad to Lamidi Cownu ?

The worst US or EU can can do is to deploy special military personnel to aid Nigeria in eradicating insurgency, kidnappings and banditry in Nigeria

That mean America will help us to annihilate the Bokoharam, banditry and Herders in the North,
Destroy ipob militants nd kidnappers in the SE/SS

Then America will have more reasons to establish more businesses in the SW the most peaceful, sophisticated and enabling environment in Nigeria

Kudos to Lamidi Cownu

Finally, Tinubu will be d next governor.
Fear Nnamdi kanu he warned him.

good

punisha:
Finally, Tinubu will be d next governor.
Fear Nnamdi kanu he warned him.

If you get brain hu should knw that the US envoy are going back with report of situation of activities in Nigeria and therefore automatically recommend SW as the most peaceful where Christians and Muslims cohabitation is most peaceful just as it is in the developed.
Subsequently recommend SW as the best region for more economy establishment and tourist destination


Is win win for SW

This should be a good news to the christian minority tribe in the North.

A work weldone by ipob........we welcome them

Kwili1:

ogbeni shut up Jooor, which oduduwa are u asking for. u will remain with ur slave master in Nigeria and continue licking their scrutum after the IGBOs have their independence.
God Bless BIAFRA.

Osu Ipob bia-fruad agent, the person you quoted is an osu alaigbo Ipob miscreant Atiku buttlicker like you.

Those you keep Nigeria down are shaking overnight.

But even if you don't want to treat people equal at least treat them fair. El Rufai takes note.



Nigeria time to use sense

whatever the wicked sows,he/she will reap one day. sow good seeds & reap good harvest. as you lay your bed so you will lie on it.

This is an opportunity for youth in Nigeria to go on full protest on twitter & other social media to asked for international intervention in this country,

We need the world to known what is going on this country, especially in Southern Nigeria, we need international army to come and protect Nigeria from the hand of Fulani orligachy that has enslaved southern part of this country.

Youth of this country are very foolish & hypocrite, they all pretend that things are going well in this country, and find a solar on twitter to trend on irrelevant things, such as "Rapecase" whereas they have been subjugated, enslaved, oppressed by some power drunk northern in this country.

Nigeria youth expecially from South should come in one voice and ask for disintegration and shown unpatriotic to this country to send message to the their who doesn't care about them.

Too much problems in this country and what could only trends is entertainment, Rapecase and other stupid topic, while Fulani Herdman are killing in every community in south, courtesy of the north, while all the resources of this country channels to on region, while all go government agency and security agency are controlled by just group of people

But what is so difficult in asking fulani people to ranch their cattle, if not for sinister reasons?

When people complain, they call them miscreants, but openly refuse to condem Broad day light killings that the videos are littered all over the Internet.

they say Biafra is an online country, What they clearly forgot is that a 10mins video from a 17 yrs old girl had just set America on fire after George Floyd's murder.

Those who ignore the power of social media will soon testify for themselves. Gradually, we shall soon become neighbours.. Someday.
