Trump Aid Cuts Kill More Christians Than Jihadists Do

Hey berg80 , top these numbers with your dead trannies……

The world tends not to pay much attention to the persecution of Christians, even though Christians are attacked and repressed in more countries than any other religious group. But sometimes the persecution is so extreme that it gains, at least briefly, some purchase on public attention. The steady slaughter of Christians in the West African nation of Nigeria is one such case.



In recent weeks, the violence has prompted Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) to introduce legislation holding accountable Nigerian officials who facilitate Islamist jihadist attacks on Christians, and HBO talk-show host Bill Maher excoriated the news media and others for largely ignoring the bloody persecution of Christians.



According to a report issued in August by the International Society for Civil Liberties and the Rule of Law (Intersociety), an African nongovernmental group that documents human rights violations, in the first seven months of this year alone, more than 7,000 Christians were killed in Nigeria.



Christians of various denominations and moderate Muslims regularly die at the hands of Boko Haram, Fulani militants and other violent actors.



Numbers vary and are difficult to verify, but between 2009 and 2023 in Nigeria, Intersociety reports at least 52,000 Christians killed, 18,500 abducted and unlikely to have survived, and more than 20,000 churches and Christian schools attacked.



Mixed in with religious motives involved in these dire statistics, of course, are conflicts over land, abductions for ransom (especially of Catholic priests), and other points of conflict. But the specifically anti-Christian targeting in the great majority of these cases defies other explanation.



Yet in March, amid U.S. congressional criticism, the Nigerian government said violence in the country was “not driven by religious bias or targeted against any particular religious group.”



Though officially there is no state religion, Nigeria is a member the Organization for Islamic Cooperation, which calls itself “the collective voice of the Muslim world.”



And the Nigerian government does little — often seemingly nothing — to protect Christians from Islamist militants.



Which is why it is puzzling that in 2021 the Biden administration removed Nigeria from the list of Countries of Particular Concern over religious liberty.

In any case, the number of killings in Nigeria — while tragic — pales beside the 400,000 people believed to have died in Sudan’s civil war over the last two and a half years. If Trump cares about atrocities in Africa, he should call up his friends and business partners in the United Arab Emirates and ask that country to stop financing the Rapid Support Forces militia responsible for mass murder and mass rape in Sudan.

There’s something else that I find offensive about the Trump/Hegseth bombast about Nigeria: If you care about religious repression of only your sect, you don’t really care about religious repression. Persecution of Christians, Muslims, Baha’is, Ahmadis and others is a global scourge and deserves more attention, but some of the most urgent cases today involve Rohingya Muslims in Myanmar and Uyghur Muslims in China.

People murdering people in shitholes is none of America's business. Let the UN take care of it if it gives a rat's ass.

Biden hates black Christians. He facilitated their genocide.

And the OP worships him.

 

[jknowgood]

Those are legitimate questions obfuscating trump's hypocrisy.

Looks like the Biden administration gave an awful amount of money to them. Why?

The quote was pasted from the article. Go fish.

So, you pasted a lie? Thanks for admitting that

As another poster linked to, Biden’s aid was for trannies, not food.

Here is a list of the taxpayer dollars given Nigeria over the past decade....

2015 – $446 million
2016 – $543 million
2017 – $643 million
2018 – $877 million
2019 – $761 million
2020 – $880 million
2021 – $922 million
2022 – $974 million
2023 – $1 billion
2024 – $783 million

Why are taxpayers on the hook for this? and When is enough enough?

At a minimum 90% of that money went to Democrat politicians and their NGO’s For campaign funds and lining their pockets.

That’s the golden egg right there…if we can tie that to factual documents, they’re cooked.

 

[berg80]

You're talking about people who were fine with 500 tons of paid-for aid literally being burned when this order was issued.

The Dems liked the aid program. That means it had to die. No pun intended.

Its consequences? The overnight, abject surrender of our global soft power? Not a priority. Revenge on the Left is.

I thought the inconsistency of trump railing about christian persecution in Africa while killing them by virtue of withdrawing aid would be an obvious starting point for discussion.

But the ability of trumples to deflect, deny, obfuscate, and lie is limitless.

My Times colleague Helene Cooper reported that in response to Trump’s threat, the United States military has drawn up options for intervening in Nigeria in three variations: light, medium and heavy. None seems likely to accomplish much except waste money — just as Trump’s forgotten campaign against Yemen in the spring squandered $1 billion in the first month alone and achieved nothing obvious.

Trump might also reflect that while jihadists have been unable to kill tens of thousands of Nigerian Christians, his own administration appears to be doing just that. The Center for Global Development in Washington calculated earlier this year that before Trump took office, American humanitarian aid was saving about 270,000 lives a year in Nigeria.

It’s too soon to predict confidently just how many Nigerian Christian children will die because Trump cut off their access to vaccines, AIDS medications, food assistance and other essentials. But the number killed by jihadists is very likely to pale beside the number dying from Trump aid cuts. So if Trump cares about Christians or anyone else in Nigeria, all he needs to do is restore aid and let babies live.

This is one of those times when the understandable prohibition against posting too much of an article due to copyright infringement concerns is very frustrating. The full article gives a lot of context to the conclusion that has gone missing. But I think you get the point.

Trump hating Leftists have never given a crap about human life, American or foreign. That is unless they can work a political angle to bash Trump. Then they turn on the crocodile tears.

Yeah, that's the talk radio template: Dismiss, pivot, attack.
