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.

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.
