What Ted Cruz (@SenTedCruz) described is not just another foreign-policy briefing.
If Nigeria is now the deadliest place on earth for Christians, then this is a test of whether the West still has the moral courage to defend persecuted believers when governments look away or, worse, help create the conditions for the slaughter.
Religious freedom means nothing if Christians can be hunted, displaced, and buried while the civilized world issues empty statements.
Faith Needs Force
A right that is never defended becomes a slogan. If Nigerian officials are facilitating or tolerating atrocities, then Washington should move beyond soft concern and impose real consequences.
Sanctions, exposure, visa pressure, and hard diplomatic costs are more honest than pretending this is merely tribal chaos with no moral center.
Evil spreads when rulers learn there is no price for cowardice or complicity.
Silence Empowers Evil
John MacArthur (@johnmacarthur) has warned that multitudes of believers have paid for their faith with their lives, and that is exactly why this cannot be treated like background noise.
His point applies here because the persecuted church in Nigeria is not an abstraction. It is a real body of believers paying in blood while much of the world looks away.
Truth eventually defeats propaganda. ✝️🇺🇸🔥🇳🇬 #ReligiousFreedom #ChristianPersecution #Nigeria
