Not Peace, But a Sword

While the Pope, the Archbishop of Canterbury and the Defender of the Faith have contented themselves with mouthing the usual seasonal platitudes, the Trumpster and his head-tribble have celebrated the birth of Baby Jesus in the proper style, by wog-bombing some African Muslims. From the days of Saint Peter until now, loving one's enemies to death has been as central to the true faith as arbitrary government and eternal torment; and the beneficiaries in this case were not only Muslims but Nigrahs as well, which makes their extrajudicial execution as authentically Murcan as it is quintessentially Christian. Those who claim that the conflict in Nigeria results from the interplay of more complex historical, economic and social forces are of course edging perilously close to the un-American heresy of Dialectical Materialism, and it is to be hoped for their own sake that they can redeem themselves through accepting and sharing in the Trumpster's crusader spirit.
