President Donald Trump on Saturday said he's ordered the Pentagon to begin planning for potential military action in Nigeria as he stepped up his criticism that the government is failing to rein in the persecution of Christians in the West African country.
"If the Nigerian Government continues to allow the killing of Christians, the U.S.A. will immediately stop all aid and assistance to Nigeria, and may very well go into that now disgraced country, 'guns-a-blazing,' to completely wipe out the Islamic Terrorists who are committing these horrible atrocities," Trump posted on social media.
"I am hereby instructing our Department of War to prepare for possible action. If we attack, it will be fast, vicious, and sweet, just like the terrorist thugs attack our CHERISHED Christians!"
The warning of possible military action came after Nigeria's President Bola Ahmed Tinubu earlier Saturday pushed back after Trump announced a day earlier that he was designating the West African country "a country of particular concern" for allegedly failing to rein in the persecution of Christians.
In a social media statement Saturday, Tinubu said that the characterization of Nigeria as a religiously intolerant country does not reflect the national reality.
"Religious freedom and tolerance have been a core tenet of our collective identity and shall always remain so," Tinubu said. "Nigeria opposes religious persecution and does not encourage it. Nigeria is a country with constitutional guarantees to protect citizens of all faiths."
Trump on Friday said "Christianity is facing an existential threat in Nigeria" and "radical Islamists are responsible for this mass slaughter."
Trump's comment came weeks after Sen. Ted Cruz urged Congress to designate Africa's most populous country as a violator of religious freedom with claims of "Christian mass murder."

Everywhere Muslims go jihad follows. They mass murder Christians and everyone else who is not a Muslim. What’s being done about this? Nothing.
That is a REALLY GOOD idea!
AND many Nigerians ARE Catholic - that would make sense. They left Nigeria because of the persecution...Thanks.
>>”It seems nations do better the closer to zero the Muslim population is.”
It sure seems that way.
Don’t think so!
