A United States lawmaker, Rep. Riley M. Moore, who represents Virginia’s Second District in Congress, has declared that the US will remain resolute in defending Nigerian Christians.
Moore made the statement during an interview with Newsmax while reacting to a recent threat allegedly issued by ISIS terrorists, demanding that Christians choose between conversion to Islam or death.
According to the lawmaker, the United States, under the leadership of President Donald Trump, will continue to support Nigeria with the necessary military equipment to combat terrorism.
“ISIS recently released a statement saying Christians in Nigeria must either convert or die,” Moore said.
“We will never back down from supporting our brothers and sisters in Christ, and I am encouraged that the Nigerian government is working in coordination and cooperation with President Trump to defeat these radical Islamic terrorists,” he added.
Moore also referenced a recent US military operation, recalling that American forces reportedly struck terrorist hideouts in Sokoto State on Christmas night using about 12 Tomahawk missiles.
