The media isn’t mentioning the fact that the attackers were Muslims, but I will because it’s always Muslims who do this. At least 12 people were slaughtered in northern Nigeria when attackers raided two churches during Christmas Eve services, police said.
CNN One assault occurred at the Church of Christ in Nations in Postikum, in Yobe province. Gunmen attacked worshipers during prayer, killing six people, including the pastor, and setting the building on fire Worshipers also were attacked at the First Baptist Church in Maiduguri, in Borno state. A deacon and five church members were killed.
They were the latest strikes against Christians in the region. More than 30 people died in a wave of Christmas Day attacks in the north last year, blamed on Boko Haram, a militant group that has targeted Christians and Muslims it considered insufficiently Islamist.
Pope Benedict XVI referred to the northern Nigerian violence in his traditional Christmas message from Vatican City on Tuesday. “Savage acts of terrorism” in the region, he said, “continue to reap victims, particularly among Christians.”
In October, a report from Human Rights Watch also addressed violence in northern Nigeria, particularly from Boko Haram. “Suspected members of the group have bombed or opened fire on worshipers in at least 18 churches across eight northern and central states since 2010. In Maiduguri, the group also forced Christian men to convert to Islam on penalty of death,” it said.
The Christmas attacks came as families whose kin died in last year’s killings delivered graveside prayers for a peaceful holiday period. Nigerian President Goodluck Jonathan issued a statement promising better days next year, including better security.
But residents told CNN that despite assurances of security, they have been attacked again.
FROM CHRISTMAS 2011
When you have the lethal mixture of violent, blood thirsty Nigerians who also happen to be muslimes then God truly help us all!
i saw that the US IS going to send troops into “Africa again more cannon fodder.
evil seed of a demonic, blood thirsty pedophile (fake) prophet called mohammad, who could not do any miracles or prophesies. theres nothing in a muslims mind other than hate. The next world war will be for the extermination of these vile savages
I hate what they, muslims, do to these christians. They are worser than anything I know about and they are spreading themself as weeds. They are disgusting
Yes, Victoria, there is a real GRINCH…JIHADISTS!
Sharia law forbids open celebrations of Christmas!
Reliance of the Traveller o11.5.6 Kafirs “… ARE FORBIDDEN to openly display wine or pork, (A: TO RING CHURCH BELLS or display crosses,) recite the Torah or Evangel aloud, or MAKE PUBLIC DISPLAY of their…FEASTDAYS”…such as Christmas.
Muslims hate Christmas because it is their RELIGIOUS DUTY to hate Christmas!
If Mozzies say anything positive about Christmas, it is TAQIYYA to dupe the dirty kafirs or they simply don’t know Sharia law.
Mohammed commit genocide and ethnic cleansing of Jews in Arabia. Moslems must imitate Mohammed.
What’s happening in Nigeria is genocide…normative Islam.

Muslim dogdicks at their finest.
In Indonesia, they couldn’t even pray for Christmas in an outside makeshift replacement for a church. Christians were threatened by hundreds of muslims to leave. They had no choice. They had to leave or else they would have been killed.
