Catholics Burned Alive by Nigerian Muslims

Take a look at this horrific photo.   It reminds me of photos of Jews taken during the Holocaust.  If this doesn't deserve media coverage, what on earth does?

The American Pravda and human right groups are silent for two reasons:  the villains are Muslim, and the victims are Christ-followers.  They don't dare accuse Muslims of genocide, and they have nothing but disdain for those who worship Jesus Christ.  Those two factors added together are a recipe for silence over this brutal massacre.  How shameful!!

Read from The Brenner Brief:

Catholics burned alive by Muslims in Nigeria — where’s the MSM?

First, look at this photo:

Those are (were) people of the Catholic faith and citizens of Nigeria. They were reportedly burned alive in Nigeria by Muslims.

Why in the world isn’t the mainstream media covering this? Because it doesn’t fit their perfect little meme that the Christians are mean and evil to the innocent Muslims. A few blogs have covered this, but that’s all.

The Catholic Church has responded:

Statement by Father Juan Carlos Martos

This is a brutal example of how far the struggle between muslims and catholics in Nigeria has reached. Muslims are determined to impose their ‘religion’ all over Africa as well as in other continents and countries of the world. Islam has but one goal: rule the world at any cost!

And where are the International Human Rights Organizations? Christians are burnt alive in Nigeria: a horrific Holocaust right in front of International indifference! As denounced by Father Juan Carlos Martos, on behalf of the Missionari Clarettiani, via del Sacro Cuore di Maria, Rome, Italy.

By publishing this graphic document on Facebook, I have intended to make the world aware of certain terrible events totally ignored or minimized by the mainstream media; an authentic genocide so cruel and inhuman only comparable with the most hateful and vile acts in the Nazi extermination camps.

To my great surprise, Facebook has criticized me for the publication of this graphic document as a proof of the Holocaust that Christians have been suffering in Nigeria in the last ten years. According to Facebook’s Security policy of the ‘social’ Network, this photo has been classified as ‘pornographic’, ‘violent’ or ‘inappropriate’ and hence I was disallowed to publish any picture for a week. And I was threatened drastic measures if I insist publishing any document that prove the terrible violations of Human Rights in Nigeria. This attitude by the (Spanish) Facebook Management is an attack to the freedom of expression as much as a shameful insult to the 500 victims (only in this horrible episode) slaughtered by Islamic terror only for being Christian.

I thought that this social network, originated in the United States, would not bend its knees in front of terror. Especially, when still healing their wounds suffered in the gruesome 9/11 attack, just as our own 3/11 at Madrid railway station, all innocent victims of the wild fury and insanity of Islamic terror.”

This seems even more unacceptable in Spain, a Democratic state, where the rights of opinion, expression and religion are guaranteed by the Constitution (Art. 16 and 20), if there is an attempt to limit such rights, let alone through threats and coercion thus weakening their freedom of expression by condemning as “inappropriate” a graphic document (not a photomontage) which reflects a brutal reality in all its crudeness.

Contrarily, the Administrators of Facebook Spain should welcome this public protest advocating that such a barbarian act will never be replicated and that its perpetrators will be brought to justice. This is a right and duty of every citizen: a service to society, ultimate goal, I feel, of any network that defines itself as ‘social’.

Regrettably, if the murders continue, this is greatly because truth is always hidden to the sovereign people, so that they may not be aware and ‘disdained’ by it: complicit silence by the mainstream media leads to the indifference of the
international political community facing this unspeakable Holocaust! Let alone the cowardice already rooted in the western world facing the islamic terror. A consequence of the stupid “Alliance of civilizations”: another regrettable incident of our former Prime Minister Rodriguez Zapatero.

Can you imagine the reaction of the Islamic terrorist organization in the (impossible) case of a massacre of Muslims in a mosque, by the hands of Christian terrorists? And how widely would our media cover and condemn the crime and the criminals?

Therefore, from this modest blog, I ask a favor from all people who are reading me: please distribute this photo and its comments using all the media you have. If only for commemorating these martyrs since, unfortunately, Facebook seems to be on the side of the executioners by preventing the publication of such tragic events.

Unfortunately, this event explained below is tearing the church apart. The Nigeria news site Punchexplained on Feb. 1:

At such a crucial time that the country is trying to grapple with the onslaught of Boko Haram on Christians, the least desired of a body conceived as a rallying point for Christians is division. If for nothing at all, the lives of Christians lost to the violence of Islamist fundamentalists and splinter sects should be a reason the leadership of CAN (Christian Association of Nigeria) and the Catholic bloc resolve their differences.Now, more than ever, the Christian body needs to put its house in order and reposition itself to speak out against all forms of violence. CAN must henceforth desist from politicking and refocus on its core value of Christian ecumenism.

Yet, we’re covering this. And the news sources listed below are covering this. How many of them have you heard of before, or do you read regularly?

The next time you turn on CNN, Fox News Channel, MSNBC or any of the other networks, remember this: when it came to showing that Catholics are being burned alive, they chose to silently sit by simply because it doesn’t fit the meme that Muslims are good and Christians are discriminating against them.

Update: One source has reported that this photo may be of a tank explosion in the Congo from nearly two years ago. However, several Nigerian news sites are discussing these issues on their sites, as you can see directly above with the quote from Punch We do not have the resources to put someone on the ground in Nigeria to find a first-hand account, which is what nay-sayers have written and asked us to do. So either way, the question remains: with several other sites covering this, where’s the mainstream media? That question exists regardless of whether this photo is of another incident. To date, the evidence we have seen from the Congo explosion is not inclusive of this photo.
