Mini-Post: So Let Me Get This Straight!

Trump wants to "come to the rescue" of the Christians in Nigeria! What about to the rescue of Muslims? What about the violence against mosques here in the U,S.?

Trump threatens to halt all US aid, conduct 'vicious' military attack in Nigeria over Christian persecution

President Donald Trump on Saturday announced the U.S. will immediately stop all aid and assistance to Nigeria if its government continues to allow the killing of Christians, and may even go into the country "guns-a-blazing" to "completely wipe out the Islamic terrorists" responsible.

"I am hereby instructing our Department of War to prepare for possible action," Trump wrote in a Truth Social post. "If we attack, it will be fast, vicious, and sweet, just like the terrorist thugs attack our CHERISHED Christians! WARNING: THE NIGERIAN GOVERNMENT BETTER MOVE FAST!"

The post comes after the president on Friday designated Nigeria as a "country of particular concern," citing the widespread killings of Christians.

But the real facts as opposed to Trump's facts

But Trump totally ignores the Christian on Muslim violence! PBS News reports that,

Nigeria’s population of 220 million is split almost equally between Christians and Muslims. The country has long faced insecurity from various fronts including the Boko Haram extremist group, which seeks to establish its radical interpretation of Islamic law and has also targeted Muslims it deems not Muslim enough.

Attacks in Nigeria have varying motives. There are religiously motivated ones targeting both Christians and Muslims, clashes between farmers and herders over dwindling resources, communal rivalries, secessionist groups and ethnic clashes.

While Christians are among those targeted, analysts say the majority of victims of armed groups are Muslims in Nigeria’s Muslim-majority north, where most attacks occur.

Hey wait! What! What was that? "... the majority of victims of armed groups are Muslims ..." Trump never said anything about that! That sure does seem like a touch of Islamophobia to me! And that he is playing to his evangelical Christian base.
