"...This is so much more of a genocide attempt than what is going on in Gaza. They are literally attempting to wipe out the Christian population of an entire country. Where are the kids protesting THIS?!" -Bill Maher

The "Real Time with Bill Maher" host spoke on his talk show Friday about the plight of believers in Nigeria, where a little-covered Christian genocide is underway. Christians there, he said, are being "systematically killed," calling out the hypocrisy of those hyper-focused on Gaza while ignoring a bonafide assault against a people group in the African country.

"[T]he fact that this issue has not gotten on people's radar, it's pretty amazing," he said. "If you don't know what's going on in Nigeria ... you are in a bubble."

Maher continued, "I'm not a Christian, but they are systematically killing the Christians in Nigeria. They've killed over a hundred thousand since 2009. They've burned 18,000 churches. These are the Islamists, Boko Haram. This is so much more of a genocide attempt than what is going on in Gaza. They are literally attempting to wipe out the Christian population of an entire country."... Subscribe for free to Breaking Christian News here
