More Nigerian Christians were attacked by Islamists who appear to have the protection of a government that forbids allowing Christians to defend themselves from these attacks. This time, 172 Christians were kidnapped when their church was overrun by Islamists in Northern Nigeria. The Nigerian government has failed to respond to this latest assault.
… As Reuters reported this week, more than 170 Christians were kidnapped during church services in Kaduna, with over 160 still missing. Armed Muslim gangs stormed churches, abducted worshippers en masse, and vanished—part of a long-running campaign of terror concentrated in northern Nigeria. The Nigerian government continues to deny systematic persecution, even as churches are emptied and entire Christian communities disappear.
Only when Donald Trump publicly condemned the persecution—and ordered strikes against Islamic State targets on Christmas Day—did the issue briefly pierce the fog of indifference. Otherwise, the killings continue in near-total silence.
These are the names of the 172 Christians kidnapped during Sunday Service.
