The US Ambassador to the Holy See has warned that Christians in Nigeria are facing persecution by Islamist terrorists.
Speaking in a Nov 5 interview on the Fox News Channel show "The Story with Martha MacCallum", Ambassador Brian Burch declared, “They’re literally being slaughtered by the thousands, sometimes hundreds per day, and this is being done by radical Islamic extremists.”
He stressed that the burden of protection lies with the Nigerian government, while noting that the United States “will not stand by and watch the slaughter of thousands of Christians”.
