(CNSNews.com) – Suspected Islamist terrorists killed 12 Nigerians celebrating Jesus’ birth, hours before Pope Benedict XVI, in his traditional Christmas Day message, spoke out against “savage acts of terrorism” mainly targeting Christians in Africa’s most populous country.
Gunmen shot dead six Christians and set fire to an evangelical church in the northern state of Yobe, police said. Wire reports said the pastor was among the dead in the midnight attack.
Separately, a Baptist church in neighboring Borno state was attacked. Nigeria’s The Nation said six church members were killed.
The attacks cap the bloodiest year yet in Boko Haram’s violent campaign against Christians, with more than 700 fatalities, according to the Christian Association of Nigerian-Americans. An Associated Press count puts the number at more than 770.
It was the third consecutive Christmas marred by terrorist attacks in Nigeria. On Christmas Day last year 44 Christians were killed in a series of attacks, most of them at a Catholic church near the capital, Abuja; On Christmas Eve 2010 the target was Christian areas of the central city of Jos, where at least 32 people were killed in three bombings.

Obama and his dysfunctional criminal Administration along with Obama’s policies, and open support of the Muslim radicals have empowered them to commit horrible acts of violence, knowing that Obama will simply look the other way and condone all of their actions.
The real reason that Obama and his Administration called what Major Nadal Hassan did at Fort Hood a workplace violence act, is because as Obama himself being a Muslim, he cannot himself be responsible for the death or execution of another known Muslim. If Hassan would have been tried and found guilty of a terrorist act, then Obama would have had to sign his execution order, and himself being a Muslim, he could not be responsible in doing that.
The pope does not care about Christians because he sits on a stone throne with the cross cut out of the back in a upside down position, BLASPHEMER, ANTICHRIST, KORAN KISSER,OBAMA’S FREIND,
JUST YOU WAIT UNTILL THE SEVEN TRUMPETS SOUND YAHUSHUA WILL WIN.
LIKE THE PAPAL SAY, THE POPE IS THE g-dhead on earth, THEN WHY DOES HE NOT STOP ALL THE CHRISTIANS BEING KILLED ,? HE HAS NO POWER OF G-D , ONLY YAHUSHUA HAS THE POWER OF
G-D.
But Yahuwah is not doing anything because it has already been written in REVELATIONS, Take heed my freinds that day is soon coming.
