Miss Jacinda, it is worse in Nigeria

Ms. Jacinda Alpern, the Prime Minister of New Zealand

The way Ms. Jacinda Alpern, the Prime Minister of New Zealand, handled the recent “crisis of monumental and epic proportion” involving the Christ church mosque shootings you’ll sense that this is one young woman who does not know about Nigeria and how staying alive in the Middle Belt and Southern Kaduna regions especially is one huge game of Russian roulette that you are forced to play every single day.

Why is this so? This is so for purely religious reasons whereby certain ones have been indoctrinated in the belief that they have divine mandates to inherit the prepared lands of the “unbelievers,” and in the modern context these “prepared lands” are countries of the West, New Zealand being one of the many targets.

In Nigeria, parishioners are regularly butchered at church services, reverend fathers have been murdered at Mass, and death tolls in the hundreds are commonplace.

The way Miss Jacinda has vowed to change New Zealand’s society in the wake of the Christchurch shootings, one would think she’d converted to Islam by now and even propose to change the name of the city of Christchurch to “Mohoammed mosque” so as to please the worldwide Muslim community; still, it has not occurred to Miss Jacinda that Muslims the world over view her as naïve in the mould of Angela Merkel of Germany because if Miss Jacinda had followed international news items these last couple of days she would have read that the same Sunni Muslims she is comforting so dearly now cooly exploded remote-controlled explosive devices in Afghanistan so as to kill other Muslims who were celebrating a traditional festival that these hardcore Sunnis call “pagan;” that traditional festival had always been a mainstay of the people of Kurdish origins, Kyrgyz origins, and other Central Asian tribes who practice Islam today.

Thus, now, hardcore Sunni Muslims have no qualms to kill other Sunni Muslims who still recall a part of their heritage. It is these hardcore Sunni Muslims who are migrating in droves to New Zealand and they are the ones who okay killing in Nigeria (Boko Haram and Fulani tribesmen are good examples of these jihadists); hasn’t anyone told Miss Jacinda that Christianity is still illegal in Saudi Arabia and the people she is comforting would not allow their wives and daughters to come near her because she is viewed as the archetypical “immoral” woman who does not cover her hair in public and who is in a live-in relationship with a man she is not married to? Trenton Tarrant was the personification of the collective fear that multiculturalism evokes in present Western societies.

If Islamists the world over are singing the praises of Miss Jacinda, this is because they want to use the incident of the Christchurch shootings to taunt President Donald Trump of the US. Madam Alpern, please do be kind to visit a Christian internally-displaced persons’ camp in Nigerian anytime soon and then learn a lesson in Islamic tolerance; it is not Christians who are intolerant!
