Niger: Muslims torch 68 churches
Shhhh! “Talk about extreme, militant Islamists and the atrocities that they have perpetrated globally might undercut the positive achievements that we Catholics have attained in our inter-religious dialogue with devout Muslims.” — Robert McManus, Roman Catholic Bishop of Worcester, Massachusetts, February 8, 2013
“Dozens of churches burned in Niger by Muslim group,” Alabama Baptist, March 12, 2015 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
NIAMEY, Niger — At least 68 churches, two of which were Baptist, have been burned. Panlieba Tchalieni, president of the Union of Evangelical Baptist Churches of Niger, reported on the church burnings, carried out by Muslim extremist group Boko Haram, “In terms of Baptist churches in Niger, we have two churches that are burned: the first evangelical church in Niger built in 1928 and another behind the Niger River built 15 years ago,”
Not much different from the KKK burning down black churches in the South during the ’60s. Intolerance and repression are the same everywhere.
