Following U.S. Sen. Tommy Tuberville’s (R-Auburn) recent speech drawing attention to radical Islam and Sharia law, President Donald Trump has now suggested a possible military intervention in Nigeria to stop the widespread executions of Christians by militant Muslims.
“If the Nigerian Government continues to allow the killing of Christians, the U.S.A. will immediately stop all aid and assistance to Nigeria, and may very well go into that now disgraced country, ‘guns-a-blazing,’ to completely wipe out the Islamic Terrorists who are committing these horrible atrocities,” Trump wrote on Truth Social on Saturday.
“I am hereby instructing our Department of War to prepare for possible action,” he added. “If we attack, it will be fast, vicious, and sweet, just like the terrorist thugs attack our CHERISHED Christians!”
“WARNING: THE NIGERIAN GOVERNMENT BETTER MOVE FAST,” the President added.
In his speech, Tuberville spoke in detail about the growing atrocities against Christians taking place in the African country.
“You also won’t hear from Democrats about how radical Islamic terrorists are currently carrying out a mass genocide of Christians in Nigeria,” Tuberville remarked. “Think about this. More than 62,000 Christians have been slaughtered since 2000 by radical Islamic terrorists in Nigeria. You heard that right. 62,000.”
The senator revealed the staggering number of Christians who have been executed in Nigeria in 2025 so far.
“And just this year alone, more than 7,000 Nigerian Christians have been murdered because of their faith alone. You can’t turn on the TV without hearing about Israel’s so-called ‘mass genocide’ of Palestinians—every day. And yet when it comes to 62,000 Christians being slaughtered by radical Muslims, it’s radio silence,” Tuberville noted. “This extreme ideology is straight from the pit of hell, and it has no place in American society.”
“We are blessed that freedom of worship is a Constitutionally-guaranteed right in this country,” he added.
