President Donald Trump has asked Congress to investigate the slaughter of Christians in Nigeria.
He said that thousands are being killed there and that Christianity faces an “existential threat’ in Nigeria because of religious persecution.
“Radical Islamists are responsible for this mass slaughter. I am hereby making Nigeria a “COUNTRY OF PARTICULAR CONCERN” — But that is the least of it. When Christians, or any such group, is slaughtered like is happening in Nigeria (3,100 versus 4,476 Worldwide), something must be done! I am asking Congressman Riley Moore, together with Chairman Tom Cole and the House Appropriations Committee, to immediately look into this matter, and report back to me. The United States cannot stand by while such atrocities are happening in Nigeria, and numerous other Countries. We stand ready, willing, and able to save our Great Christian population around the World!

No group should ever be persecuted for practicing their religion. We don’t have to share the same beliefs in order for us to respect each other.
