Nigerian Christian farmers are being targeted by Fulani Muslims
For many Christian farmers in the Plateau State of Nigeria, traveling to their own farms has become dangerous, reports International Christian Concern.
Some have stopped going altogether. Others now move in groups, hoping that numbers will offer some protection. But for families who depend on agriculture for survival, abandoning their land is not an easy choice.
The fear has grown following a series of attacks by armed men suspected to be Fulani Muslim militias which have targeted farmers traveling to and from their fields.
On July 30, according to Christian leader Joseph Yonkpa, 60-year-old Christian farmer Bulus Turu was “attacked and macheted while returning from his farm.” At least 27 people have been killed in ambushes, many of whom were Christian farmers traveling to their farms.
Yohana Boh, a community leader, said, “We received early warning, but the Nigerian Army ignored it. We can’t sleep. We can’t farm. We’re calling for help.”
Send a polite, 4-sentence note to Lateef Kayode, the Nigerian Ambassador to America, asking him to urge his government to protect the Christian farmers there. Address your letter to the Nigerian Embassy, 3519 International Court, NW, Washington, DC 20008. You can find that address, and the spelling of the Nigerian Ambassador’s name, in our transcript today at www.TheWorldview.com.
Flash flood in Nepal killed 360
The deadly flash flood in Nepal on August 26th has killed 360 people and left 1,400 missing including 90 Americans, reports Weather.com.
The flood was likely caused by a huge chunk of a glacier that broke off and temporarily dammed a river. That may have led to the backed-up water surging downstream with enormous force a few hours later. In fact, water levels in rivers across the flood-affected region rose by as much as 29.5 feet in 30 minutes.
The U.S. State Department said it is not aware of any U.S. deaths, but three Americans have been rescued.
Hundreds have lost their homes across the Himalayan region, and officials reported large-scale damage to critical infrastructure, including hydropower dams, roads, buildings and bridges in the region.
US Patriot missile stocks in Europe are ‘beyond critical’ due to Iran war
An unnamed U.S. defense official in Europe and an unnamed NATO official told the Associated Press that the U.S. military is experiencing a “beyond critical” shortage of advanced missile interceptors in Europe largely driven by President Donald Trump’s war with Iran.
This raises concerns about vulnerabilities in NATO countries to a potential Russian attack.
The U.S. defense official said the most concerning shortfall involves Patriot missile interceptors, which can shoot down Russia’s high-speed ballistic missiles. The NATO official confirmed the low inventories of Patriots among American and NATO forces in Europe.
President Trump renames Lake Ontario to Lake America
On August 27th, President Donald Trump said he is renaming Lake Ontario to be known as “Lake America” in the United States as he escalates his trade war with Canada, reports the Associated Press.
The president signed an executive order directing the Interior Department to update the lake’s name in the U.S. geographic naming service.
Girl Scouts promotes Islam
The Girl Scouts organization in America already has plunged neck-deep into transgenderism and abortion, with ideologies that support such leftist agendas. Now, the group is jumping into Islam, reports WorldNetDaily.com.
An online report confirmed the Girls Scouts are offering “badges” that are earned by little girls when they visit mosques and learn the “Pillars of Islam.” Not surprisingly, social media commenters were outraged.
Turning Point USA, founded by Charlie Kirk, tweeted, “Nothing says Girl Scouts of AMERICA like learning the pillars of Islam.” And another wrote, “Never buy Girl Scout cookies again.”
According to a new investigation by Natalie Winters, the White House correspondent for Steve Bannon’s War Room, she documented that, “Girl Scout troops across the U.S. are incorporating Islamic religious instruction, prayer and activities, [like wearing the hijab head covering and participating in the Ramadan fast] into scouting programs.”
Winters reported, “Girl Scouts Heart of Central California knew about the Sacramento Area League of Associated Muslims’ religious integration years earlier. The council’s 2009 annual report said that four troops with 30 girls began … [incorporating] Girl Scouting into the mosque’s youth programming. It highlighted a Ramadan sleepover involving fasting and girls ‘praying through the night.'”
The examples appear to involve individual troops and local councils rather than a nationwide requirement imposed on all Girl Scouts.
However, there is a “nationwide pattern of Girl Scout troops based at mosques incorporating Islamic prayer, Quranic instruction, and lessons on hijab into activities conducted under the Girl Scouts banner.”
In Exodus 20:3, God said, “You shall have no other gods before Me.” And, to be sure, Allah, the Islamic god, is not the one true God.
Mom banned from school after protesting push of sexual perversion
And finally, an Oregon mother is suing Portland Public Schools for banning her from her children’s elementary school for protesting its promotion of homosexual transgender “pride,” reports LifeSiteNews.com.
The Oregonian reports that Allison Roberts, who has two children at Meriwether Lewis Elementary School, took issue with benches painted with “Intersex-Inclusive Progress Pride” rainbow designs. She also objected to an assignment in which one of her kids was tasked with filling out an “identity flower” exercise including gender.
After a meeting with school officials to discuss her concerns, she began distributing letters about the situation outside the school, leading to a “heated exchange” with one parent. That led to a one-year trespass order keeping her off the grounds ostensibly for “threatening and intimidating members of the school community” with “harmful, unlawful and/or disruptive behavior.” As a result, Roberts was forced to miss one of her children’s graduations from elementary school.
Now, she is suing to reverse the trespass order and secure her rights to engage in free speech about her children’s education.
Mrs. Roberts should prayerfully consider pulling her children out of the pro-perversion government schools and homeschool them instead.
Proverbs 22:6 says, “Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.”
