* Some accounts of the "pure genocide" experienced by Christians at the hands of Muslims. — Nigeria.
* "We, all Muslims, residents of Paccerakkang, especially Neighbourhood 02 and 03 STRONGLY REJECT the Establishment of a Church and worship activities in our environment forever." — Text printed on banners, majesty.co.id, February 11, 2025, Indonesia.
* Coptic Christians, for some inexplicable reason, appear to have become the most careless and fire-prone people in the world: more Coptic churches than any other kind seem to keep on "catching fire." — copticsolidarity.org, February 20, 2025, Egypt.

On February 5, a fire broke out in the Church of the Archangel Michael, in a village of Egypt's Qena governorate. Egyptian authorities blame "natural causes," apparently to explain away that church fires in Egypt have become commonplace in recent years. In August 2022 alone, 11 churches supposedly "caught fire."

The following are among the abuses and murders inflicted on Christians by Muslims throughout the month of February 2025.

The Muslim Slaughter of Christians

Democratic Republic of Congo: The beheaded corpses of seventy Christians—men, women, and children—were found inside a church. Earlier, on Feb. 12, Muslim militants of the Allied Democratic Forces, which is affiliated to the Islamic State, rounded up and marched 70 Christians to a Protestant church in Kasanga. There, the Christians were "tied up and decapitated with knives." According to a regional expert,

"This was not just an act of terror. It was a targeted massacre of Christians, and it will not stop here... The ADF is part of a growing extremist network that wants to wipe out Christianity in the region. If nothing is done, more attacks will follow."

** Trump-Musk: Revolutionary Method, Restoration Plan ([link removed])

* The ultimate goal of this new oligarchy is to privatize government, a concept that is anathema to European intellectuals who regard the Hobbesian state as an earthly version of divinity.
* To Americans, however, the Leviathan, though accepted as a necessity, has always been regarded as a potential threat to freedoms that their ancestors sought as they fled from European tyrannies.
* Whether their restoration scheme works or not remains to be seen. But to question its legitimacy is a sign of sour grapes by European gurus who witness their politically correct world crumbling around them.

The Trump-Musk project is aimed at reducing the size of the Leviathan and preventing its use in the service of a one size-fits-all ideology. Whether their restoration scheme works or not remains to be seen. But to question its legitimacy is a sign of sour grapes by European gurus who witness their politically correct world crumbling around them.

"Why is Donald Trump doing what he is doing?" This is the question raised by European intelligentsia these days as they try to recover from the shock of the American presidential election, which they all believed would be won by the Democrat champion Kamala Harris.

France's currently fashionable TV philosopher Michel Onfray raises the question in a number of programs, as do op-ed writers in newspapers in London, Brussels and Berlin, and Greek economist Yanis Varoufakis.

The answer to the question may be simple: Trump is doing what he is doing because he promised to do those things and has a contract with the 78 million Americans who voted for him.

However, a simple answer won't satisfy an intellectual caste that is used to project prestige via convoluted concepts dished out in a jargon designed to impress if not frighten the plebes.
