Islamic terrorists have turned Nigeria into a Christian killing field

As reported by CBN News on Friday, Nigeria has quietly become the nation with the highest Christian death toll at the hands of Islamic extremists. In 2012, 900 Christians were killed there. The guilty party? A group of Islamic militants identified as Boko Haram.

As CBN reports:

"They are so radical they don't even spare Muslims. If Muslims are sympathetic to any cause at all...if they are sympathetic to the Christians cause, or the minorities cause, they are also termed as infidels," Mark Lipdo, program coordinator for the Stefanos Foundation, said."

In America, politically-charged, divisive, special-interest groups regularly make headlines with their claims of victimization at the hands of "intolerant Christians". It appears there is a tremendous disconnect with reality but many are waking up to the reality that political correctness has draped the entire country like a soaking blanket.

Recently, comedian Bill Maher (an atheist) openly spoke out against the absurdity by the political left in America, which continues to paint all religions with a broad brush, insisting that Christians and Muslims are all the same; that they pose the same kind of threats to society. Bill Maher, however, expressed that that kind of reasoning is nothing but "liberal bullsh......t"

"I mean, there's only one faith, for example, that kills you, or wants to kill you, if you draw a bad cartoon of the prophet. There's only one faith that kills you or wants to kill you if you renounced the faith. An ex-Muslim is a very dangerous thing. Just ask Salman Rushdie after the show, about Christian versus Islam. You know? I'm just saying. Keep it real."

Bill Maher is able to make that distinction. Others, for some reason, cannot.

CBN News' report is an obvious confirmation of this. As CBN also reported, so far in 2013, there have already been 120 Nigerians murdered, most of them Christians and at the hand hands of Muslim radicals.

Gregory Lar, who is an internationl human rights attorney, added that this recent surge in violence against Christians and their sympathizers comes as a result of a renewed Muslim mission to "propagate their religion".

As a result of this violence, various groups are taking up arms and fighting back against this violent radicalism, hoping to protect the Christian population.

Now there is growing concern that Nigeria may be nearing a broader, more deadly religious war.

"Because of the massive Christian Muslim population in Nigeria, there is no country on Earth that is as rich and as ready for a religious war. All the elements, all of the ingredients are there," said attorney, Emmanuel Ogebe.

Ogebe, who recently spoke in Washington regarding this conflict, insisted that the American government is making a big mistake, refusing to identify the conflict as being one initiated by Islamic extremism:

"The route they are taking is dangerous. It's against American interests and it is not positive. It's not sensible. The ultimate aim of this extremism--it's not just to wipe out Christians. It will hit back here ultimately," Ogebe argued.

And, the problem isn't simply focused in Nigeria. Popping up all over the world, this militant, radical, violent Islamic extremism is wreaking havoc.

Mindy Belz, reporter for World Magazine, added:

"We've seen it happening in Sudan, we've seen it in Mali, we've seen it in parts of the Middle East and other parts of North Africa. When that happens what is growing up in there are also the seeds of terrorism that is targeting the West."

Unfortunately, many in America - including our own government - for reasons that are beyond comprehension, refuse to identify the problem for what it is. It is political correctness at its worst. And, apparently, the only thing it is doing is emboldening those who hate freedom and liberty.

As atheist, Bill Maher said:

"I'm not an Islamophobe. That's wrong. I'm a truth lover. All religions are not the same."
