Unconstitutional Sharia Law and Christian Genocide in Nigeria?


2:13 PM Monday.

Here is the list of questions I asked Google Gemini early this morning about the situation for Christians in Nigeria:

  • How bad is the situation for Christians in Nigeria? 
  • How do ecological overshoot including rapid population growth and Islamist terrorism interact to plague good governance in Nigeria?
  • Why are Christians so uniquely vulnerable? Is it entirely religious or is there an ethnic genocide component?
  • Has the Vatican commented?
  • Is Trump the first Western leader to spotlight the situation in Nigeria as genocide and ethnic cleansing of Christians?
  • Is Nigeria party to the Genocide Convention and/or the Rome Statute?
  • How has the African Union framed the situation - is it a genocide?
  • Is Boko Haram arguably a genocidal Islamist terror organization?
  • Are the Christians being killed in Nigeria primarily Catholic or Protestant or both?
  • Is the Sharia law in the northern states legal under the Nigerian Constitution?
  • Has the OIC taken a position on either the violence in the northern states or the expansion of Sharia law beyond normal civil religious matters in secular states?
  • Is Nigeria a serious contender for a permanent African seat on a reformed UN Security Council?
  • Is the current government in Nigeria more aligned with the pro-Sharia camp or the Sharia-critical camp?
  • If a case reached the high court and the Sharia criminal codes were found illegal would there be a risk of civil war or attempted secession by the pro-Sharia northern states?
  • The situation already sounds catastrophic - what do UN experts advise?
