    Pretty sure both of these are christian/white supremacists conspiracy theories. Definitely just racist conspiracies about Nigeria.

      I understand. It’s important to separate the truth from the propaganda. The Indian issue seems to be real, with a steady increase in anti-Christian attacks over the last few decades, and it seems to have been particularly bad during this current holiday season.

      The Nigerian issue is more nuanced, and mostly about Boko Harum attacks, who is attacking EVERYBODY, including Muslims. In fact, many sources believe that they’ve killed far more Muslims than Christians. But all Trump cares about is the propaganda power of killing Christians, so that’s what he’s concentrating on. Plus, it’s a black country, so that makes it so much more fun when you’re killing black people with your bombs.

      I personally don’t give a flying fuck about any religion, and couldn’t care less if they are killing each other.

        While this is true, that is not specifically an anti-christian feeling or attacks. It’s a general attack to anything that is not Hindu. I remember being there over 10 years ago and being advised not to walk around town on st Valentine as simple actions could be misinterpreted as celebrating the day and lead to being beaten up.

        If anything in India the big thing is anti-muslims, and that is indeed a big problem.
