Nigerian Christians face latest massacre by militant Muslims
The fragile religious balance in the country grows increasingly tenuous, yet the Christian population continues to increase.
While the world's eyes are locked onto the conflict between Israel and Iran in the Middle East, Christians everywhere continue to face violent persecution.
Nigeria's Catholic population has been facing what appears to be their systematic removal by their Muslim neighbors, and an attack over the weekend is the latest example of a long train of persecution.
'These cold-blooded attacks on defenseless communities where countless have been slaughtered ... are an affront to God.'
Muslim Fulani militants "raided a predominantly Catholic Christian town" in Benue State, Nigeria, killing over 200 Christians overnight, according to a Saturday morning post by Save the Persecuted Christians on X. The post included graphic images of the victims of the massacre, reporting that they were "butchered and burned" during the attack.
"This is genocide," the initial post concluded.
