Slaughter by way of stupid.

Normally here at TFTR, I run a fairly perky show.

Not today.
Why?
I am quite angry, but not surprised one flaming bit.

Well, let's see, there's that little skirmish-fest in Nigeria that keeps popping up in the news. 
It seems that an Islamic militant group wants to kill the Christians. And there is pressure on the Nigerian government to grant the group amnesty in exchange for peace.

Bahaha. IDIOTS.

Amnesty for people who slaughter whole families??? That's like saying "if I give the lion a cow, he will never go hungry again and all the lambs will be safe."

Lots of countries have tried that approach. It's called "appeasement". Ask some of the Czechoslovakians in 1938 what they thought of appeasement. Ask them again in 1945? Oh, not possible? Yeah, because they're most likely dead or displaced.

Amnesty is a dismal, pathetic way to do business when people are being slaughtered.

And you can bet the world's media would be all over that story IF it was a bunch of fair skinned people being hunted and killed. 
IF the ones being killed were anything other than Christians.
And IF whole scale slaughter was more interesting that TV reality personalities who were basically fame mongers and publicity junkies.

Quick, tell me who Beyonce is married to!

Quick, where is Nigeria?

   * "I Have Decided to Follow Jesus" is a Christian hymn originating from India.

   The lyrics are based on the last words of a man in Assam, north-east India, who along with his family was converted to Christianity in the middle of the 19th century through the efforts of a Welsh missionary. Called to renounce his faith by the village chief, the convert declared, "I have decided to follow Jesus." In response to threats to his family, he continued, "Though no one joins me, still I will follow." His wife was killed, and he was executed while singing, "The cross before me, the world behind me." This display of faith is reported to have led to the conversion of the chief and others in the village.

Please, pray for Nigerian believers. And pray that the hands of the enemy are stilled.
