"Mr President, as we look on, horrific tragedies, deaths, and the murders of innocent people are taking place in Nigeria – innocent people who have become the victims of religious madness. Islamist extremists are attacking Christians and murdering them only because the Christians belong to a different religion and have a different culture, tradition and values. It is horrific that tragedies of this kind are taking place on such a large scale in today’s world.
In fact, the first clashes between Muslims and Christians were noted as long ago as 1990 and, at the time, the international community unfortunately was not very consistent in its attitude. The effects of this passivity were in evidence last Sunday, for example, when Boko Haram terrorists placed bombs outside a church in Jos, murdering another 14 innocent people.
Today, the European Parliament must issue an unequivocal condemnation of Islamist terrorism and the attacks on Christians. Members should enlist the help of experts to draft a plan for extending support to the authorities in Nigeria in the fight to stop the bloodshed and reunite the country. There is no doubt that this is something which is missing today – strong condemnation of Islamist radicalism and its crimes."@en1
