Pope Leo apparently believes that Muslims are murdering Christians in Nigeria “for economic reasons.” Nigeria’s bishops beg to differ. More on the Pope’s refusal to recognize the violent ideology of Islam as the cause of those murders can be found here: “Pope Leo, slashing the throats of Jews and Christians is not due to the economy,” by Giulio Meotti, Israel National News, November 26, 2025:
Manga is a Christian in Nigeria, the most dangerous place in the world for Christians, the country where a Christian is killed every two hours. Manga was supposed to be one of them. He was returning home as usual after university. His mother was preparing dinner. Terrorists burst into his house. They dragged Manga, his father, and his brother outside, while his mother and younger siblings hid in a room.
“Then they asked my father and the two of us if we were ready to renounce Jesus and embrace Islam,” Manga testified to the NGO “Open Doors.” Manga’s father refused. “So they told us: ‘We will kill you.’ I answered: ‘If you kill us, what do you gain?’” Manga was struck with a rifle butt, and his father was brutally murdered. “They beheaded him and placed his head on his stomach in front of my eyes,” says Manga. “Then they tried to decapitate my brother.” Manga watched helplessly as his family was massacred. Then came his turn. “They took a knife, serrated by their teeth, and tried to cut my neck.” Manga managed to find the strength to pray. The young man was left on the ground, with the bodies of his father and brother before his eyes.
I don’t know what to call all this: “genocide,” “extermination,” “religious cleansing,” but Manga certainly did not suffer because of “the economy.”
