Nigeria: More Than 60 Churches Burned, Thousands of Christian-Owned Homes Destroyed in Muslim Areas After Presidential Elections…
The sad part is these elections were widely considered to be free and fair for the first time in decades.
(Christian Post) — More than 60 churches were burned and thousands of Christian-owned homes destroyed in Nigeria’s predominantly Muslim north after the recent election of incumbent Christian president Goodluck Jonathan, according to the Christian persecution watchdog group Open Doors.
Riots broke out Monday after the preliminary results of Saturday’s vote were announced. Jonathan, who was sworn in as president in May 2010, was announced president over his Muslim opponent Muhammadu Buhari.
“Last year there were more martyrs in Nigeria — approximately 2,000 Christians killed in the northern part — than in any other country in the world,” said Open Doors USA President/CEO Carl Moeller. “Nigeria is such a key country in the spread of Christianity all over Africa.”
“Please join me in prayer for the Christians there, especially for those in the north,” he added.
Muslims complained that the vote tallies were rigged, but independent observers described the election as the fairest in decades.
“The elections for the National Assembly and the Presidency were both credible and creditable and reflected the will of the Nigerian people,” said the Commonwealth observers’ report.

This is worse than any violence in Egypt or Libya…
an article I read yesterday about this election said over 500 had been killed
yet there is silence from the UN
what happened to R2P…
R2P…that was the leftist battle cry for action in Egypt and Libya
“what happened to R2P…”
Christians aren’t Communists or Islamists = no protection. Need to have a new sheriff in town here ASAP.
Gosh, ya know I was just wondering where old ‘Reverend’ Al was – or ‘Reverend’ Jesse, or Oprah…
Just sayin’ is all, ’cause somebody’s got to.
Yeah.. I know Larry… its disgusting
I would still like some WH correspondent to ask… What about R2P in Nigeria…
leftists have two sets of rules… one for them and one for everybody else…
hypocrisy..thy name is Democrat
Rob,
Even if someone asks, at most you get Shrillary or some other Communist making an absolutely worthless statement about how bad it is and they should stop, blah blah blah. If they won’t do anything for the protesters in Iran and Syria because it might upset the Islamists in power, there is no way they will do anything for Christians.
The new civility: African Christians don’t count.
The Death Cult rolls on!
we need to train and arm the Christians.
It’s open season on Christians that for sure. Utterly sickening.
Churches are un-islamic, y’know.
Lets invite all the Christians over here for a revival, then why all the Christians are gone, kill the rest with bombs that kill but leave the towns and city’s standing.
And then the Christians can have their land and rebuild sociality,without the scum.
elect muslims or we’ll kill you
To all those people calling for the prosecution of those who burn a Quran in the US because some muslim, somewhere in the world might get violent or maybe even harm US troops – let’s carry your (il)logic to the next level.
Let’s ban all Christians from holding elected office in the US. Look at Nigeria. they elected Christians and the muslims got violent to the point of burning churches and killing Christians. We can’t afford that happening here.
/sarc off
Christians are soft targets. We are accounted as sheep to the slaughter. Little do the illiterate know they are doing us a favor for us to die is gain. When we die it is out of our hands. Those who remain are in jeopardy of heaping up for themselves greater condemnation and woe be to all humans on earth when God’s wrath is released.
