RE: Over 50 feared dead in Nigeria church attack, officials say. By Chinedu Asadu The Associated Press
A year ago today in London, ON, a nut-bar ran down and killed four members of a Muslim family who were out for an evening walk. It was deemed a hate crime. Today, the Muslim community memorialized the first anniversary of their deaths with a political rally to condemn Islamophobia in Canada. Justin Trudeau was there in person. According to the news report, Trudeau said people should not ignore the reality that millions of Canadians are facing microaggression, discrimination, and systemic racism every day. He said his government (unlike the Ford PC government) has taken action to address hate and racism in Canada, but there is more work to be done.
Esa Islam, a cousin of the deceased family, singled out Ontario Premier Doug Ford’s Progressive Conservative government for not committing to pass a law to fight Islamophobia.
Okay, so Canada is filled with systemic racism, and Doug Ford won’t do anything about it, but Trudeau has, except that his measures isn’t working. No matter, the point is Canada is systemically racist and full of Islamophobia, and Trudeau is a good guy. The blood-guilt is evident.
In Nigeria, fifty Catholics were massacred as they attended Mass for Pentecost Sunday. It occurred in St. Francis Catholic Church in Ondo state. Many children were killed. The priest was abducted as well. It was said that gunmen opened fire and detonate explosives, in addition to abducting the Roman Catholic priest. “It was not immediately clear who was behind the attack,” said the piece. Nobody was prepared so say, or even speculate, about who was behind the attack or their motives.
But it is obvious. Boko Haram operates in Nigeria. About half the Nigerian population is Muslim. It was an attack on a Catholic Church at worship on a particularly auspicious occasion in the Church Calendar, Pentecost. The attack was well organized and pre-planned. Obviously, it was some extremist Muslim group or other, but we dare not attach blood-built to Muslims because that would be Islamophobic. Besides, a groups of their bastards might try to kill us if we say that!
There you go, heroic Canadians. We get the blood guilt for the attack by a
nut-bar but Muslims get a pass for a planned slaughter by calculating organizations. And everyone, including
your politicians are too cowardly to say what’s obvious.
