Why Vatican and Protestant churches are silent? UN should intervene
While Christians
are being killed in large numbers by Muslim militants in Nigeria, nobody in the
western world seems to be bothered about it. A new report says that 620
Christians in Nigeria have been killed by militants so far in 2020, and around
12,000 have been killed over the course of the last five years.
The actual
figure could be more. Jihadis are going berserk in many African countries. It’s
time to stop it.
Vatican is
silent. Protestant pastors are not opening their mouth – all of them are in
their comfort zones, enjoying prosperity evangelism. Influential western
governments have also not done anything.
Christian villages routinely face coordinated
attacks from the terrorist group Boko Haram. The group's goal is to create an
Islamic caliphate in Nigeria, thus considering the large Christian population
an obstacle to their plans. Similar Islamic ideologies held by the Fulani
herdsmen led to daily attacks on villages that are predominantly Christian.
Men, women and children have been slaughtered without hesitation.
Christianpersecution.com
says that around 50 per cent of Nigeria's population is Christian, with 75 per
cent being Protestant, 24 per cent Roman Catholic, and then a small Orthodox
community.
The attacks
have been increasing recently, and many groups have called it genocide.
United
Nations (UN) should intervene and send a Peacekeeping Force to Nigeria to stop
this genocide. Nigeria needs global attention to eradicate this militancy. In
fact, Muslim genocide of Christians is not restricted to Nigeria alone. Many
African countries are facing this problem. It’s going on unchecked.
