‘Slow-Motion Jihad’: Biden Admin Under Fire Amid Deadly Horror Targeting Christians in Nigeria
Persecution watchdog is delivering a pointed message to the Biden administration after the U.S. State Department again declined to list Nigeria on its Countries of Particular Concern list, with the expert warning that there’s a “slow-motion genocide” unfolding against Christians inside the African nation. Jeff King, president of International Christian Concern (ICC), told CBN Digital there have been an estimated 100,000 deaths over the past two decades, with 3.5 million Christian farmers being unfairly driven from their lands.
The ongoing and intense persecution has left King and other leaders perplexed as to why the State Department continues to leave Nigeria off its Countries of Particular Concern list, a designation King said provides “a list of the countries with the worst records on religious freedom around the world.” If given the chance to speak with the Biden administration, King said he’d deliver a candid assessment of the dire nature of the ever-deteriorating situation.
“This is a slow-motion genocide,” he said. “It’s a slow-motion Jihad.” King added, “What does it take for the United States to use what they’re best at — just use the administration, use the bully pulpit to speak up and to stand for those who are oppressed, to stand for the defenseless? That’s all we have to do.” The persecution watchdog said it’s essential to call out what’s unfolding in Nigeria and to put pressure on officials there to take action.
Many Christians in Nigeria live in total fear, not knowing when their towns and homes could be targeted next. “Day to day, you’re wondering … if you’re village is next, and whether you’re going to live through the night,” King said. It’s an especially perplexing situation considering Nigeria’s demographics, with upwards of half of Nigerians calling themselves Christians. There’s a large number of Christians in the south of Nigeria, with Muslims dominating the north.
