Nigeria: April 7, 2017. Deacon Keith Fournier says kidnappings and attacks on Christians by Boko Haram Islamists are a “demonic assault.” “Americans don’t like to think about the demonic,” he says in a column for TheStream.org. “We don’t want to believe anyone else is really serving evil. Our scholars and pundits try to explain such evil in economic and political terms. That can be partially true, of course, but it doesn’t change the reality of evil or the fact that it is at work in all of this horror.” Most recently, Boko Haram extremists kidnapped 22 young girls Friday. The girls will be held as sex slaves or sold. In September of last year, Boko Haram Islamists riding on motorcycles shot down Christians who were walking home from church. They killed eight. But their biggest attack was three years ago when the group kidnapped more than 200 girls from a school in northern Nigeria. Many of the girls were Christian. “I abducted your girls,” Boko Haram leader Abubakar Shekau said at the time. “I will sell them in the market, by Allah. … There is a market for selling humans. Allah says I should sell. He commands me to sell. I will sell women. I sell women.” According to reports, their terrorism has killed more than 20,000 people and driven about 2.6 million people from their homes. “We need to listen to our brothers and sisters in Jesus Christ who live in the midst of the Islamist terror,” Fournier said. “They can tell us about responding to the kind of demonic evil Boko Haram has unleashed on the Christians of northern Nigeria.” Source: ChristianHeadlines
