  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

ABUJA, Nigeria — Following the killing of more than 60 Christians in Plateau state, Nigeria earlier this month, the death toll of a dawn attack on Monday on a predominantly Christian community in the state has risen to 51, according to reports.

Fulani herdsmen attacked Zikke village in Kwall District, Bassa County early Monday morning, said area resident Blessing Yakubu.

“Over 40 Christians have killed in a fresh attack which occurred in Zikke village of Kwall district in Bassa Local Government Area of Plateau state,” Yakubu said in a text message to Christian Daily International-Morning Star News, with the death toll later updated to 51, according to Channels TV. “Lives have been lost and properties destroyed through this early morning attack by armed Fulani herdsmen.”
