Islam #Repost @himitsustudy ・・・ Whether it's Nigeria, India, N. Korea, Turkey, Iran, Ethiopia, etc, the persecution of Christians is met largely with silence. Please keep our persecuted brothers and sisters in Christ in prayer and also the ministries and organizations that help persecuted Christians worldwide. __ From Fox News: The religious persecution of Christians in Nigeria is teetering on genocide, religious leaders and foreign policy analysts caution in a desperate bid for the international community to take urgent action. The Rev. Johnnie Moore, co-author of the new book “The Next Jihad: Stop the Christian Genocide in Africa,” told Fox News that Christian communities have been decimated by terrorists in parts of Nigeria – and most of the persecution happening in the shadows. “Thousands of churches have been torched, children massacred, pastors beheaded, and homes and fields set ablaze by the tens of thousands, with people being targeted for their Christian faith alone,” he said. __ Earlier this year – just weeks before the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic – Christian Solidarity International (CSI) warned of a possible genocide unfolding in the West Africa country of 206 million people. The warning underscored that “the conditions for genocide exist in Nigeria, with Christians, non-violent Muslims, and adherents of tribal religions being particularly vulnerable," and called on the permanent members of the U.N. Security Council to take heed. But the cry fell on deaf ears, and as the pandemic has gripped the already fragile state, the level of persecution is documented to be getting worse. __ More than 1,200 Nigerian Christians are estimated to have been slaughtered in the first six months of 2020 and in excess of 11,000 murdered over the past five years – with scores still unaccounted for. They are being targeted from two sides. International Christian Concern (ICC) points out the figures are likely far greater, with upwards of 50-70,000 Christians dead over the past decade. . . . . #himitsustudy #christianpersecution #christianpersecutionisreal #nigerianchristians #nigeriannews #fulaniherdsmen #bokoharam https://www.instagram.com/p/CHzM3sNFDuc/?igshid=1r8nx8hhwve9o
