'What is happening now is beyond conspiracy,' said Bishop Wilfred Chikpa Anagbe. 'It is rather openly supporting, aiding, and abetting the perpetrators of these acts as no one culprit is ever arrested.'

LifeSiteNews) — An African bishop has spoken out against the violence perpetrated against Christians by Muslim extremists in his country, saying that the violence has become nothing less than a “jihad.”

Following yet another attack, Bishop Wilfred Chikpa Anagbe of the diocese of Makurdi in Nigeria told the European Parliament on October 11 that Christians in Nigeria are being subject to a “jihad” by Islamic extremists, and that they need help “before it becomes too late.”

“The attacks – particularly in Benue State – increasingly look like a jihad against Christians,” he said, saying that these attacks come in many forms, such as “terrorism, kidnappings, killer herdsmen, banditry, [and] other militia groups.”

Following the October 8 attack which killed nine people in Benue State, Anagbe appealed to the European Parliament for help. He told them that he believes what began as a “conspiracy of silence” around the attacks on Christians has now become open “aiding and abetting” the terrorists.

“Even though the outside world knows the extent of the ongoing killings and displacement of Christian communities in Nigeria, there exists what I term a conspiracy of silence,” he said. “However, what is happening now is beyond conspiracy. It is rather openly supporting, aiding, and abetting the perpetrators of these acts as no one culprit is ever arrested.”

The bishop said that the attacks are clearly a religious issue, and stem from an antagonism that Muslims feel towards those of the Christian and faith.

Nigerian Bishop Begs European Parliament to Help Stop Islamic Terrorism Against Christians

Bishop, the EU will do nothing to help you, nor should they. Since you live in a country with two incompatible cultures, you have three options:

1. Create another country called South Nigeria, like South Sudan, and try to learn from your past mistakes.
2. Initiate a holy war against Islam.
3. Submit to Islam.

Athiests won’t help these Christians. Wish they were here instead of the thugs.
