How is 5-1 not called targeting Christians?
in just one line he refutes NYT.
[BTW. I don't advocate for troops on the ground, whether battling Boko Haram, Fulani, Al Qaeda, Hamas / PIJ, Hezbollah, ISIS...]

SHANNON:
"He talked about potentially boots on the ground, going in guns ablazing. He says the characterization of Nigeria as religiously intolerant doesn't reflect our national reality."
- [0:01:55 --> 0:02:10]
"Religious freedom and tolerance have been a core tenet of our collective identity and shall always remain so. Nigeria opposes religious persecution and does not encourage it."
- [0:02:10 --> 0:02:33]
MOORE:
"You know, unfortunately, that is completely false. There's a person currently right now wh is held in prison for defending himself from attack from a Muslim militant from the Fulani tribe. He defended himself and he is facing the death penalty."
4. Discussion on Persecution (2:33 - 4:35)
- [0:02:33 --> 0:02:52] "So no, their serious persecution is happening in Nigeria. I know the President Tenubu is in a difficult position in this to one degree or another with statements like this."
- [0:02:52 --> 0:03:12]
SHANNON:
"The New York Times says it's not just Christians. They say attacks on Muslims in the country often receive far less attention within Nigeria and globally, even though they have been killed by the tens of thousands with groups like Boko Haram preying on Muslim communities."
- [0:03:12 --> 0:03:27]
MOORE:
"So is it fair to say that there are other religious minorities depending on which section of the country and you are a minority in that particular section of the country they are at threat as well? Look, there are Muslims that are being killed here, but the deaths we have been able to garner from the facts on the ground, it's five to one Christians versus other minors or other religious organizations in that country."
- [0:03:27 --> 0:03:58]
MOORE:
"Now there are Shia Muslims there, these terrorists are Sunni Salafis that are doing this attack. So of course, the Shias are going to also be targeted in this, but it is five to one Christians who are being killed in Nigeria. What can they do quickly? What should we do? Do we have a role and something that seems to be an internal dispute in a different sovereign country?"
- [0:03:58 --> 0

MOORE:
"I think absolutely we do. Look, we're a Christian nation, and a nation that believes in values and virtue is of standing up for people who are being persecuted. That designation the President just did at a country particular concern unlocks 15 different levers that the President can use against that country. Sanctions can be one of them, withholding development dollars, restricting financing from international institutions. So there's a lot that could be done there, but the President has put all options on the table, including military action."

Christians in Nigeria are murdered at a 5-to-1 rate compared to other religions.
The U.S. will not turn a blind eye.
Thank you,
@POTUS, for designating Nigeria as a Country of Particular Concern. Our investigation is underway.
