Nigeria's Silent Genocide: How Islamic Militias Are Erasing Christianity Village by Village

President Trump has spoken out in support of Christians in Nigeria being slaughtered. It is a crisis and this thread offers timely information about what is happening. For too long, Christians in the West have turned our backs on our brothers and sisters who desperately need us to use our voices on their behalf. Thankfully, President Trump has indicated he has his eye on the situation and is considering options.

CHRISTIAN PERSECUTION IN NIGERIA EXPLAINED:🧵

This is why both Christian and Jewish groups warn about the rise of Islamic terror groups in the United States.

We have strived in our small way to assist and encourage these brave people who suffer in ways most Americans cannot conceive.

Western Christians should be ashamed of being thought of as 'milquetoast'.

It’s planned well in advance, funded by Saudi Arabia and others, relies on a long term strategy, is aided by the UN, and news of the horrific reality is hotly suppressed.

The Strategy:

Indeed, it is central to the strategy, be it in Nigeria, Sudan, Sadiq Khan’s London or (we hope not) Mamdani’s NYC. The goal is to kill you or drive you out. Conquest.

Indeed and pray for persecuted Christians around the world.

If Christians in the west do not wake up to the escalating Islamization all around us we will be ill-prepared to stand against it. This insightful report by @LarryTaunton is a great primer on what’s at stake. https://t.co/ZTGVK3IoAL
