In a bold move to defend religious freedom and traditional Christian values abroad, President Trump has called out the Nigerian government for failing to prevent the ongoing persecution and killing of Christians within their borders. By shining a light on these atrocities, Trump is upholding America's role as a beacon of hope and a defender of the oppressed.
The President rightly recognizes that the Nigerian government bears responsibility for allowing this violence to continue unchecked. A hands-off approach is unacceptable when innocent lives are being lost. Strong leaders must take decisive action to protect vulnerable religious minorities.
While some may criticize Trump's threat of targeted attacks as government overreach, the sad reality is that Nigeria's leaders have abdicated their duty to maintain basic law and order. Attacks on Christians have become a horrible "new normal" that the government seems unwilling or unable to stop. If they cannot protect their own citizens' fundamental rights to life and religious expression, then they must be held to account.
America cannot stand idly by as Christians are slaughtered for their faith. President Trump is right to consider all options, including military strikes if needed, to stop this bloodshed. The US has a proud history of intervening abroad in defense of persecuted religious groups, from Kosovo to Iraq. We must stay true to our values.
Hopefully, the President's tough stance will spur the Nigerian government to finally crack down on the extremists responsible for this violence. Respect for religious freedom and human rights is essential for any stable, prosperous society. Nigeria's future depends on getting this right - and America must lead the way in defending these bedrock principles worldwide.
