Okay, I am a liberal, my degree is in Comparative Religion, and I agree. Islam is fundamentally different from Christianity, Judaism, and the Baha'i Faith. It is the worst of the Abrahamic religions, objectively speaking, when it comes to liberal values. Are Muslims themselves bad? No, of course not. Are all expressions of Islam evil? No. The Ibadis, the Ahmadiyyas, the Alawites, the Isma'ilis, the Qaran alone movement and the Sufis are all peaceful people.
But it would be idiotic to say that there is not something uniquely violent about Islam, as it is stated in its texts.
But your post brings up an even bigger question: why do American fundamentalist Christians call being asked to make a gay wedding cake "oppression" when REAL oppression of Christians is happening all over the world? When was the last time some fundamentalist guffball ever marched to Washington demanding the government do more to help Christians in Pakistan, Africa, Indonesia, and Iraq where they are being massacred? When has Pat Robertson or John Hagee ever demanded that more be done to stop the persecution of Christians in the PRC?
Instead, they whine about how American Christians are "persecuted" because their kids have access to Harry Potter books and learn about evolution in school.
Just like the lefts anti-sexist SJWs are more concerned with big boobs in video games than they are with actual sex slaves being traded by ISIS or the Islamic treatment of women, the American fundies would rather whine about their own Christian first world problems then they would help their fellow Christians world-wide.
The take away messages is while not discriminating based on religion, national origin, color, creed etc is one thing within a nation and among citizens. It is entirely appropriate and even necessary to discriminate in immigration based upon religion, national origin, color creed or any other criteria. Democrats apply their already shaky domestic philosophy globally and to immigration where it is completely inappropriate and infeasible.
We can't stop the spread of Islam in Africa or even Latin America. We've had our hands full for 1200 years trying to stop its spread into the West. Nowadays many democrats want open migration to islam because otherwise would be "discrimination" . Sometimes discrimination is the best thing.
Why even are there Christians in Nigeria in the first place? That's not their native religion.
Unwanted, unasked-for colonialist missionaries are to blame.
What a horrible thing to say. You may not have meant it this way, but your post implies those Nigerians deserve it for choosing something other than their native religion.

Neither is Islam the native religion of Nigeria.
Unwanted, unasked for Arab Muslim slave raiding into areas south of the Sahara over hundreds of years, leading into many Africans changing to Islam in order to not be the next victims.
