The Persecution of Christians Part 6

The Maiduguri Bishop from Nigeria Oliver Dashe Doeme says, “It is the basis of Boko Haram philosophy that Western Civilisation and education are both sinful and harmful. The irony of this is that despite this statement Boko Haram activities are based on Western achievements such as the telephone, the internet and modern equipment. According to them, Christianity is also a product imported from the Western world; hence they ultimately hate Christianity and Christians. First, they attacked our Christian brothers: their homes, their shops, their schools. They murder those who resist conversion to Islam. It gave them courage that many people from inside and outside Nigeria supported them in various forms – unfortunately, this included even the military and security services. That’s why it was very difficult to fight them. The most serious attacks took place in 2014: twenty-five priests, two hundred catechists, and eighty thousand Catholics were expelled from their homes. We also heard it in the European news that children were kidnapped: and this terrible monstrosity happened in our diocese! Their primary targets are Christian men – who are murdered – and then their wives are forced to convert to Islam. Because of this, much more men were killed than women. Now we have to take care of more than five thousand widows in the diocese and also approximately fifteen thousand orphans with them.
