(AP)The White House is condemning what it is calling a “senseless” Christmas terrorist attack in Nigeria.
The White House also offered its condolences to the Nigerian people, especially the families of the at least 39 people killed Sunday. The majority died on the steps of a Catholic church after celebrating Mass, part of an apparently coordinated assault by a radical Muslim sect.
The White House says U.S. officials have been in contact with their counterparts in Nigeria and pledged to assist them in bringing those responsible to justice.
President Barack Obama was monitor developments from Hawaii, where he is vacationing with his family.

The Nigerian Christians aren’t Christians , they think the USA support them if they say they are. And with Obama in office we will.

Posted on December 26, 2011 at 5:48amJudging from the numerous responses here, I am seeing a distinct pattern. The pattern is People have had with what is going on with this administration! Eventually enough of us will be heard, maybe then things will begin to change. I fully concur, this administration has been the most destructive in our history and if we don’t get a handle on it soon, we will all become victims of oppresion, from our own government!

Report Post »Yes, people have had it! “The administration” sends condolences to Nigeria, yet cannot find the time to comment on Blacks attacking Whites at a Wisconsin fair this past summer. Ditto for the attacks on White by Blacks in Philly!
Then, of course, we have racially motivated/racist infiltrated DOJ allowing Black Panthers to terrorize a polling location in Philly in ‘08.
Hypocrites…and racists at that!
I’ll tell all of you again…..you better unite behind the Repub candidate, or your worst fear will be realized in 2012!

Posted on December 26, 2011 at 1:03amIn my neighborhood in Astoria queens, on sunday, the meter maids wait outside the churches to give parishioners tickets for expired meters….(150 dollar parking tickets) …its sad to see people in suits running out of church to put a quarter in the meter…. HOWEVER on fridays and wednesdays in front of the Mosques amd palestinian and islamic centers you will find double and trippled parked cars with ever meter expired and yet NO ticket agents….i find it very interesting why for some reason the islamic faith gets a free pass for just about everything…i know this has nothing to do with the story. ……just had to vent…

Posted on December 26, 2011 at 5:43amYour wrong, this has everything to do with this story!! Muslims have literally been getting away with murder for years, and most western countries turn a blind eye. Yet, the pretender in chief wants to go over the radical Christians in an African country!! Maybe we need more radical Christians to defend the faith, God knows the Vatican sure as hell is’nt going to anything!

Posted on December 25, 2011 at 11:23pmThis is just one more incident of crazy islamist muslims who believe that the infidels must be killed. Oh..sure…islam is a peaceful religion….news flash….no it isnt! How many protestants or catholics are taught to kill the non believers?? How many are out in the streets just killing random people who dont believe in their faith?? We are not taught to kill… but to love. Islam has no place in judeo-christian America.

Posted on December 26, 2011 at 2:02amGoodvsEvil, I think you must have been absent the day that they talked about the decades long war in Ireland between the Protestants and Catholics. You must have also missed the lesson about the KKK (a Christian organization) war against the Catholics.
You seem to be suggesting that Protestants don‘t and haven’t fought wars against “non believers.” You’re joking right? You’re a troll maybe? You’ve heard of the Crusades I guess? You‘ve heard of the Ku Klux Klan haven’t you?
