Bill Maher, an American comedian, political commentator, and television host known for his sharp, often controversial critiques of religion, politics, and culture, used his HBO talk show Real Time with Bill Maher on Friday (Sept. 26) to spotlight ongoing violence against Christians in Nigeria.
Maher has hosted the long-running show since 2003, featuring unscripted debates with guests from across the political spectrum. During a panel discussion, U.S. Representative Nancy Mace, a Republican from South Carolina, thanked Maher for raising the issue and said the media has failed to cover the tragedy.
“Nigeria, the fact that this issue has not gotten on people’s radar, it’s pretty amazing,” Maher said. “If you don’t know what’s going on in Nigeria, your media sources suck. You are in a bubble.”
“I’m not a Christian, but they are systematically killing the Christians in Nigeria. They’ve killed over a hundred thousand since 2009. They’ve burned 18,000 churches. These are the Islamists, Boko Haram,” he said. “This is so much more of a genocide attempt than what is going on in Gaza. They are literally attempting to wipe out the Christian population of an entire country.”
“Where are the kids protesting this?” he asked, criticizing the lack of mainstream media coverage and noting the absence of public outcry in the United States.

They support it.
Bill Maher is a comedian?
That’s because they’re morally bankrupt.
We have a bunch of FReepers who will consistently condemn ISRAEL and Jews when a muslim murders a Christian in say Syria, but clam up when muslims murder Christians by the bale full in Nigeria, Sudan, Ethiopia, etc.
They can only shift their anti-Semitic “Christian” asses when they can tangentially blame a Jew.
A$$ Wipes.
Their own government doesn’t seem to give a flip what happens to the victims. It’s been that way for several years
.
Really against genocide, not just a pose to slander someone.
Bill Maher, an American comedian,kind of like Pat Paulson.
If the shoe were on the other foot and the Christians were massacring the Muslim terrorists and their supporters and driving them out of the country, you’d hear all about the “genocide” from the usual suspects.

He’s upped his standards, now up yours!
,,, I’ve never had anything nice to say about Bill Maher but lately he’s hot the nail on the head with a few issues. Older and wiser now, maybe.
No one cares about Christians except Jews.
No one cares about Jews except Christians.
Expect more church and synagogue killings.
Expect more killings by islamists.
Expect more killings and attempted assassinations by democrats including Antifa.
Carrying guns is the only protection when it goes down.
Still better then Bill Maher don’t know how he stays on.
What about Christians, or just religious folks being killed in the U.S.?
Unfortunately.
Not surprised, they want to eliminate all Christians.
“First, they came for the Jews …”
“First, they came for the Jews …”
More accurately:
“ First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Socialist.
Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Trade Unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.”

There have been reports on the genocide in Nigeria for a long time. But most people don’t pay attention to those stories. No one seems to care, except other Christians. The Trump administration brought South Africans here, but they mentioned nothing about the genocide in Nigeria (unless I missed something).
