One of the figures driving this propaganda is American comedian and television host Bill Maher, who used his show to deliver a sensationalised account alleging the systematic slaughter of Christians in Nigeria. “I’m not a Christian, but they are systematically killing the Christians in Nigeria. They’ve killed over 100,000 since 2009. They’ve burned 18,000 churches. These are the Islamists, Boko Haram,” he said. “This is so much more of a genocide attempt than what is going on in Gaza. They are literally attempting to wipe out the Christian population of an entire country.” His sources are largely fabricated claims and manipulated images from unverified outlets. These distorted narratives drew applause from his audience, while Fox News, true to form, amplified them.
This misinformation – aimed at maligning Nigeria as much as undermining the gravity of the situation in Gaza – is linked to Nigeria’s position at the 2025 United Nations General Assembly. By reaffirming support for a two-state solution to the Palestinian conflict, Nigeria challenged powerful interests invested in one-sided narratives…
The truth, affirmed by data, is that religiously motivated killings account for only a small fraction of Nigeria’s violence, and many so-called religious attacks are entangled with ethnic and resource-based conflicts. Understanding this nuance is essential. It enables Nigerians and the international community to support holistic solutions that strengthen security, promote dialogue and drive development, rather than being misled by simplistic framings of Muslims versus Christians. Nigeria’s armed forces, led by both Christians and Muslims, stand united in defence of all Nigerians against terror.
Maher needs to retire, he is useless.
His time would be better spent doing yoga so he can finally literally suck his own dick
Does yoga really make that possible?
It gives you some amazing flexibility. I guess you can’t be packing something too small but even a small one doesn’t seem out of reach with how flexible you end up being.
He’s too high to remember to finish the yoga session. He falls asleep.
Oh yeah i forgot how he’s always going on about weed. He gives stoners a bad name
That sentiment has been repeated constantly since the 80’s.
Maher has been an islamaphobe for a very long time.
He’s been an arrogant asshole with far too much attention forever.
He’s atheist and pretty much anti any religion, not just Islam. He may not always be spot on, hence the post, but still more often than not, he is
It’s true he is anti religion and makes remarks about all religions. But I noticed a particular repugnance for Muslims.
He had similar comments about orthodox jews
To be fair, for Christians too. Hard to say he has a specific prejudice, to be honest.
Who is this man’s audience anymore, that they’d cheer for this “reporting”? And, are we supposed to hold Israel to a Boko Haram standard?
Boomers. I have some boomer friends who apparently kept up with him during covid. They were shocked he got covid because according to them, he got vaccinated. I called Maher a lier because he doesn’t even believe in germ theory.
HBO keeps trying to auto-play it after John Oliver, so the audience might be “people who fell asleep before John Oliver ended”
What a fool. What a tool.
Okay grandpa.
He loves to point out other terrible things happening in the world like we should care about Gaza less.
What’s happening in Gaza is not only a focused slaughter of innocents, it’s also primarily sponsored by the US. So yes, US citizens should care more about Gaza than many other issues, because it’s their genocide.
