Senators Ernst and Grassley Ask Trump to Deploy Special Envoy to Nigeria to End Christian Genocide







ABOVE: Tony Perkins, the chairman of the US Commission on International Religious Freedom, spoke with CBN News about the alarming trend that religious freedom monitors say is turning some churches and other houses of worship around the world into houses of horror.
Two Republican senators are asking President Trump to protect Christians facing ongoing brutal persecution from Islamic groups in Nigeria.
Iowa senators Joni Ernst and Chuck Grassley recently sent him a letter, asking the president to consider deploying a special envoy to help end the Christian genocide in Nigeria.
In their letter, the senators point to 40,000 Nigerian deaths tied to the Islamic terrorist group Boko Haram. 
Along with other Islamic militants known as the Fulani herdsmen, the Boko Haram has long threatened the lives of Christians in the West African country. 
Two years ago during a meeting, President Trump asked Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari to protect "innocent civilians of all faiths."
But Ernst and Grassley want more done to protect the lives of Christians. 
As CBN News reported earlier this month, a report released by a Nigerian organizationestimates around 620 Christians were killed in the African country by Islamic militants during the first five months of 2020 alone. 
The International Society for Civil Liberties & Rule of Law (ISCLRL), an organization not aligned with the Nigerian government, released the report which also warned militant Fulani herdsmen and the Boko Haram have intensified their anti-Christian violence in the old Middle Belt and Northeast regions of the country with the burning or destroying of Christian centers of worship and learning. In addition, hundreds of homes have been destroyed. 
The ISCLRL headed by Christian Emeka Umeagbalasi noted in its report no fewer than 620 defenseless Christians have been killed since the year began with no reprisal action taken by the government or the Nigerian military forces against the Fulani or the Boko Haram. 
"The atrocities against Christians have gone unchecked and risen to alarming apogee with the country's security forces and concerned political actors looking the other way or colluding with the Jihadists," the report said. 
The organization also estimated that more than 32,000 Christians have been killed there by Islamic militants since 2009. 
The mainstream media in the US has remained largely silent as the Muslim terrorists' merciless killing of Nigerian Christians rages on.
