Stop Being Deceived The Christian Missionary and the Islamist Terrorist Are Twins, Born by the Same Cross or Kalashnikov Abrahamic Parents = Empire.
Empires do not march in with banners unfurled and armies at the gate. They slip in quietly, disguised as saviors. One hand carries a Bible, the other a rifle. One preaches salvation, the other fear. But both fracture communities that were once whole, leaving behind chaos that is then sold as justification for conquest. This is not accident. It is the logic of empire — a script rehearsed for centuries, across continents.
📜 The Cross Before the Crown
In the 16th and 17th centuries, missionaries were the vanguard of empire. In Latin America, they baptized indigenous peoples while imperial surveyors mapped the land for seizure. In the Congo Free State, villages were converted before they were bled dry of rubber and ivory. In Asia, catechisms taught obedience, reshaping societies to accept foreign rule. Every prayer was a tool of control, every hymn a prelude to extraction.
⚔️ The Rifle After the Cross
Fast forward to the 20th and 21st centuries. The missionary’s robe has been replaced by the militant’s fatigues. Intelligence agencies learned to weaponize ideology: anti-communism, Islamist extremism, democracy promotion. From Afghanistan’s Mujahideen to Boko Haram, from Latin American death squads to Sahelian jihadists, violent factions were funded, tolerated, or created outright. Disorder became the raw material of empire. Intervention was sold as moral imperative.
🌍 Nigeria and the Sahel: Corridors of Control
Nigeria’s religious fault lines — Muslim north, Christian south — provide cover for resource grabs and military infrastructure. In the Sahel, “counterterrorism” campaigns carve corridors of bases from Niger to Chad, conveniently bordering uranium mines, lithium deposits, and gold reserves. These are not coincidences; they are coordinates. Empire maps its ambitions in minerals and shipping routes, not in morality.
🦠 The Pandemic Pause
Even the pandemic revealed the strings. For two years, terror networks that had promised endless chaos went silent. No attacks. No new caliphates. Just obedient dormancy. As if their patrons had called a ceasefire. The message was clear: terror is not organic. It is managed. It is a tool, not a force of nature.
♟️ The Chessboard of Empire
Today, empire is multi-directional. The United States seeks footholds near strategic resources. China extends influence through infrastructure and trade. Russia secures energy and defense contracts with willing partners. Africa, the Sahel, and Latin America are theaters where these ambitions intersect, cloaked in the language of faith, freedom, and fear.
🔥 The Twins of Conquest
Missionary or militant, Cross or Kalashnikov, soft or hard power — the logic is the same: destabilize, fracture, extract. Empires evolve, but their methods do not. They require converts, chaos, and corridors. They will always cloak ambition in moral or religious language.
To see this is to understand that salvation and terror are manufactured theatres of control. To see this is to stop believing in saviors — whether they come with robes, rifles, or press releases.
The missionary and the militant are not opposites. They are twins. And their parent is empire.
