This editor worked a bit on Christmas day and saw photos of Christian churches that had been attacked while parishioners were at worship. We've heard about trans genocide and genocide in Gaza, but we haven't heard much about the genocide of Christians in Nigeria. We must have missed the marches.

They are killing Christians from the Umogidi community. The area around Adoka is particularly hard hit.
Any protest marches planned in London? pic.twitter.com/gHra2WZ48Z

The resolution was prepared by the Czech MEP @TomasZdechovsky

Well, that's something. The United States tried to do something similar, but much as Congress couldn't denounce Rep. Ilhan Omar's antisemitism without also including language about Islamophobia, Rep. Gerry Connolly says we can't pass a resolution just because Christians are being slaughtered. What about the LGBTQ community?
Republicans in the House Foreign Affairs Committee are trying to pass a resolution declaring Nigeria a "country of particular concern" due to massacres against Christians:

Rep. Gerry Connolly (D-VA) says he opposes it because it doesn't mention gay people.

"Congress can't simply say we're only concerned about Christian persecution."
But you can. You just won't.
Umm what? Democrats hate Christians and they don't even try to hide it.

I have a feeling this guy is OK with Christian prosecution.

Congress can do what it wants; he's wrong.

Amend it: "We are concerned about Nigerian Christians and the one gay dude."

Happy now?
Connolly needs to go to #Nigeria & see what Boko Haram and the Falanis are doing to Christians. My Wife was born there & grew up in Nigeria. We watch in horror of the killing that’s going on there while the Western World ignores it.

Was there a gay massacre that the we missed somehow and the media failed to report on? Be that as it may, did anyone @GerryConnolly if can expand on who it is exactly that is persecuting gays in Nigeria? A lot of mostly peaceful Muslim militias in that region after all.

Connolly is one of the stupidest members of Congress, and there are so many to choose from. He’s Top 10 for sure.
— Josh Kunis (@JoshKunis) February 6, 2024
We didn't even have him in our Top 10, but he seems to be jockeying for a spot.
