* In the opening days of April, Muslim Fulani terrorists slaughtered more than 60 Christians in Plateau State, in what Plateau Gov. Caleb Mutfwang termed an ongoing "genocide." According to a local source, "More than 1,000 Christians were displaced during the attacks, and 383 three houses were destroyed by these bandits." — Morning Star News, April 8, 2025, Nigeria.
* "Eyewitnesses said the attack lasted more than an hour, leaving 103 households destroyed and the entire village displaced. Frustration mounted as residents reported a delayed military response and accused security forces of bias, disarming local Christian youth but not Fulani attackers." — Morning Star News, April 14, 2025, Nigeria.
* On Good Friday, Apr. 18, a Muslim judge sentenced a Christian to death for "blasphemy".... Among these critics was the Rev. Ghazala Shafique, a Karachi-based rights activist: "The court has convicted a Christian for allegedly carrying out the alleged blasphemous act, but what about those people who burned our churches and homes and are now roaming freely on bail? Why didn't the police and prosecution investigate those cases with the same zeal that they have shown in Masih's case?" — Morning Star News, April 22, 2025, Pakistan.
* On Apr. 30, a Muslim judge sentenced Sabry Kamel, a 79-year-old Christian man to life in prison on the charge that he molested a five-year-old Muslim child at the school where the accused volunteered. He did so, critics allege, on very little evidence and merely to placate an angry Muslim mob that was growing outside the court house and calling for the instant execution of the elderly Christian.... Essam Mehanna, the complainant's lawyer... stated: 'The case was flimsy and would have collapsed were it not for the mob shouting outside the courthouse.' Several legal experts and independent attorneys—both Copts and Muslims—who reviewed the case files expressed shock at what they described as a wholly unjustified ruling." — Coptic Solidarity, April 30, 2025, Egypt.

According to an April 6 report, Zimnako Salah, a 45-year-old Muslim man, "planted fake bombs across four churches in Arizona, California, and Colorado and worked separately to construct a real one:" Michele Beckwith, US Attorney for the Eastern District of California, said, "Planting a hoax bomb at the Roseville church was not an isolated incident or a prank for this defendant... His actions were designed to threaten and intimidate the congregation because he disagreed with their religious beliefs." Pictured: Saint Clare Catholic Church, in Roseville California.

The following are among the abuses and murders inflicted on Christians by Muslims throughout the month of April 2025.

The Muslim Slaughter of Christians

Nigeria: In the opening days of April, Muslim Fulani terrorists slaughtered more than 60 Christians in Plateau State, in what Plateau Gov. Caleb Mutfwang termed an ongoing "genocide." According to a local source:

"More than 1,000 Christians were displaced during the attacks, and 383 three houses were destroyed by these bandits. These attacks began on Wednesday, April 2, at about 3 p.m., when these armed Muslim Fulani herdsmen invaded our communities in large numbers; they came on motorcycles and attacked us."

On Apr. 7, Muslim Fulani slaughtered another three Christians in Central Nigeria, where 19 had been slaughtered the previous month. According to Joseph Chudu Yonkpa, a youth leader from the area,

* What became the United States was the fruit of a rebellion against a system in which concentration of power contained the threat of tyranny.
* George Shultz, one of the wisest American politicians of the last century, noted that no political battle in the US is ever won or lost forever.
* The American system is designed to slow down decision-making to avoid both tyranny and anarchy. The ideal government in that model is one that doesn't do anything, thus allowing individuals who make up the society to shape their lives in a framework of laws that guarantees freedom.
* [O]nce the revolutionary mood ebbs, reality strikes back with people who wish to light the chimney without setting their home on fire.

While President Donald Trump prepares for G7 and NATO summits this month, political circles and media in Europe are busy trying to cut him down to size before the two events.

While President Donald Trump prepares for G7 and NATO summits this month, political circles and media in Europe are busy trying to cut him down to size before the two events.

"Trump will come empty-handed," says one commentator. "None of the things he announced with fanfare has been achieved."

Other commentators use such phrases as "deflated balloon" and "bogged down in the mess he created."

At first sight, it looks certain that he has not scored big on any of the dramatic goals he announced.

His tariff campaign is stalled in a maze of zigzags.

His peace-making gambit in Ukraine has led to him humiliating Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and labelling Russian President Vladimir Putin as "quite mad".

Worse still, scores of US judges have lined up to block some of his dramatic measures, including the crackdown on illegal immigration.
