Nigeria: 200 dead as machete-wielding Muslims attack Christians

Total is now up to 500 as reported by Daily Mail!

The Nigerian Guardian website is down for some reason, but Gateway Pundit is quoting them:

"The attack, yet another jihad and provocation of the Christians, started at about 1.30 a.m. last night. We are in touch with the survivors though many of them are still in trauma.

"Dogo Nahawa is a Christian community. The eye-witnesses say the Hausa-Fulani Muslim militants came chanting 'Allahukabar' and broke into homes, cutting human beings, including children and women with their knives and cutlasses.

islam is truly a satanic cult.

Further in the article if you click CNN link:

Also in January, at least 150 Muslims were killed during an attack on the town of Kuru Karama, south of Jos, Human Rights Watch reported. Community leaders from Jos and journalists told Human Rights Watch that they saw dozens of bodies lodged in wells or sewage pits. Most of the town's homes were burned, the group said.

In November 2008, at least 700 Nigerians died in Christian-Muslim riots that followed a disputed local election, Human Rights Watch reported.

Notice, when muslims are the victims, the media states it.

But when non-muslims are the victims, its "Christian-Muslim clashes" or "Christian-muslim riots", without specific mention of who the victims were and who the attackers were.

The religion of peace is busy spreading its 'good tidings' all over the planet...Notice how Islam calms the savage, and makes him more loving and tolerant...Must be a result of all that 'inner struggle jihad'...

By the time this filters through the MSM, it will be filed away as ethnic strife. So who cares?

Reminds me of the good old days of Muslim Idi Amin.

Here's NPR's spin:
"NPR's Gwen Thompkins, reporting from Nairobi, Kenya, says 'no one can say for sure what prompted the attack. But in January, a Christian strike on a Muslim village killed hundreds of people'...."

Robert Spencer has the best and most PC technique.

300 Carbon based life forms were extinguished by another group of carbon based life forms.

Further
The UN's IPCC and Al Gore report that such attacks will increase as man made Carbon is dumped into the atmosphere.

The New York Times today at least stopped the nonsensical neutral "communal violence" stuff, when it was clear that the Muslims (described as members of the Fulani people) surrounded Christian villages, and attacked sleeping Christians in the middle in the night. Note that these areas are, or have been, Christians, and the Muslims from the north -- black Africans islamized in the past by Arab slavers, and experiencing their own local Jihads in West Africa, beginning with that under Dan Fodio of Sokoto in 1804.

It may seem a history almost as ancient, to our ill-informed rulers, that forty years ago, the Christians of Nigeria, fed up with massacre after massacre of Christians by Muslims, attempted to fashion an independent state. It would certainly have been viable, for all of the oil of Nigeria lay in the south, under Christian lands (just as in the Sudan, all of the oil lies under the Christian, black African south, not the Muslim Arab north), even though most of the oil revenues were seized by Muslims, for their own purposes, and especially by corrupt civilian rulers in thrall to the Muslims who controlled the military (in this respect, with the military providing the permanent source of power, Nigeria is reminiscent of Pakistan).

For two years the Christians, the Biafrans – who were mainly, though not exclusively, members of the Ibo people, fought desperately, with almost no aid from outside. . They had diplomatic recognition, and from two countries – Ghana and Israel. The latter provided what military aid it could, though logistically it was very difficult. .The Western powers only wanted the war to be ended, and Biafra crushed, so that any disruption in oil supplies would be brief. Neither the Americans nor the British lifted a finger to help the Christians of Nigeria. Meanwhile, the Arabs openly aided in the massacre of tens of thousands of helpless Ibo villagers, with Egyptian pilots in Egyptian Migs, sent by Nasser, delightedly strafing, again and again, the people below (who had no weapons, much less anti-aircraft guns). Perhaps a million Christians were killed, perhaps more, in only two years of war. In July 1969 the leader of the Biafrans, Colonel Ojukwu, delivered his “Ahiara Declaration,” in which he summed up the reasons for the war, and the justness of the cause, and he spoke openly about the “Jihad” that the Muslims had waged on the Christians. No one in the Western world paid any attention to this; “Jihad” was a word no one knew, or cared about. All that was calculated was that, whatever those crazy people did, the country simply had to stay together and the oil keep flowing, and who cared who dominated who.

In and near Jos, in central Nigeria, the Muslims are on the murderous march again. They came in the night, and surrounded villages with sleeping Christians. Then they attacked, using guns to cause the sleeping Christians to run out of their houses, in some cases, and then they cut them down with machetes. Apparently the 500 victims were overwhelmingly women and children, and I have just heard on NPR some speculation that this was a deliberate effort to make sure that there are “no more” Christians of a new generation who will be able to populate the lands that were Christian until the Muslim marauders came down from the north. Just as in the Sudan, where the Muslim Arabs have for the past half-century been steadily pushing downward, killing the Christians and animists in the south (perhaps 2 million have died; Sudanese from the south have told me that figure is a low one, and they do not understand why in the West the “true figure” of 2.5 million is not used). And those Arabs also attacked other Muslims, but Muslims who were regarded as black Africans, and since Islam is a vehicle for Arab supremacism, Islam itself may be said to have justified, in their own, Arab view (the fact that some of these “Arabs” would not have been regarded as such in Beirut or Damascus or Riyadh or Cairo is irrelevant; they think of themselves, and see the world, and what they are therefore entitled to do, as “Arabs”) the sustained attacks, over many years, of mass murder, rape, looting, and wanton cruelty of every conceivable kind (if you are unfamiliar with the details, they can be found on-line) of black Africans by the Janjaweed, a government-sponsored and government-armed Arab “militia.”

So what will now happen if, in Nigeria, the Christians try again, try to free themselves from the Muslim yoke? What if a new Biafra is declared? In the Sudan, the American government, and the so-called “international community,” have been assured by the northern Arabs that they will allow, in a year or two (my, that’s big of them, isn’t it?) a referendum to be held in the south on independence. There is no doubt that the Muslim Arabs are doing everything they can to make sure they have infiltrated the south, and turned various tribes against each other, so as to ensure that the referendum never takes place, and so that they can hold themselves out as the guarantors of continued “peace” in the south, able to hold apart the very tribes that now, through a cunning series of deliberate provocations, the northern Arabs have been pitting against one another. Again, Western government s appear to have lost the thread of the narrative in the Sudan, as they never had it in Nigeria.

The Christians are the most indusetrious and entrepreneurial people in Nigeria. They are the ones who make what does work in Nigeria work. They take an interest in, have pride in, their own true pasts – the Ibo in Igbo-Ukwu (there are two excellent volumes in, I think, the Bollingen series on the Igbo-Ukwu). The Islamized Africans have no such interest, are indifferent to their own pre-Islamic pasts, and want only to imitate the example set by seventh-century Arabs, even taking on inauthentic Arab names; they are indifferent or, if truly fanatical in their faith, hostile to all that is non-Islamic in their own histories. Not only are the Christians of Nigeria perfectly capable of creating, and running, an independent state, far less corrupt than the one run, more or less, by the Muslim-officered mi litary, but they also could count on the oil wealth which is entirely in the south. And why should they not? Nigeria was an artificial creation, the product of the British, who simply spatchcocked together three main tribal groups –the Ibo (Christian), the Hausa (Muslim), and the Yoruba (split between Christian and Muslim groups). Why should black African Christians, and other non-Muslims, suffer – in the Sudan, or in Nigeria – because of what some people in London, in the Colonial Office, decided? Why?

This is moslem M.O.

They did this and still do this all over the world to drive Christians and other non-moslems off land they want.

Watch what happens in Nigeria.

Just like the Sudan, the moslems will attack, kill and drive the non-Christians out.

But the world will not care about the non-moslems. Perhaps a million people died or were made refugees.

Back in the mid-1990s we received several thousand of " Lost Boys of the Sudan" into the USA. They were older teens, about 16-18. They had been in refugee camps for several years. Many did not know their birthdays or exactly their ages.

A few had relatives back in the camps, but MOST were orphaned at early ages. There are very few girls or women left. They were killed or taken into moslem slavery.

Moslems killed their parents, in many cases their whole village. The boys were able to hid in the bush and walk for many miles to make shift refugee camps. Some were killed by wild animals or died of starvation and disease on their way.

Ask these "boys" , now men, "HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT MOSLEMS?"

The "boys" I know call them, "DEMONS".

TRUTH!! From those who have seen the TRUE faces of islam.

Recently, several posters have wondered what a society looks like when it reaches 50% Muslim.

*This* is what it looks like.

How many chances in the last 100 years have we had the opportunity to recognize jihad and failed? Failed to see this is not "sectarian" violence (from today's news coverage), not over water or land, but ideology - the immutable monolith of islam. And how can we sit on our hands as a raised hand with a machete or technology or deception are used to annihilate one group of humans in favor of another? It is like the media, the UN and world leaders walked through Auschwitz and reported the buildings were sturdy and the water supply excellent, no mention of the dead and dying, the depravation, the intentional slaughter.

What could have been prevented if we recognized it, denounced it and taken action against it?

Thank you, Robert, Hugh. Keep the truth alive.

Predictably, al-BBCeera, the International Sales Division of Islam, is describing this as 'ethnic violence'.

tagesscahu also put the death toll above 500

http://www.tagesschau.de/ausland/nigeria188.html

As a side note, for the anti-gun folks, how's that "If we just get rid of all the guns, this senseless violence will disappear..." workin' out?

Yes, I too read it as: inter-religious killings.

Isn't it awful what MSM does to news to make sure that people don't realise that muslims are killing christians.

The voice of al-BBCeera, explaining the violence in Nigeria's Plateau state...

'The Hausa-speaking Muslims are classified as "settlers" even if they have lived there for generations and have no knowledge of their "home" region.

"Settlers" are banned from taking some positions in state government and the state does not pay for their education, meaning these groups feel discriminated against.

While some people may feel the only way they can change the situation is to use violence, the Christian groups in power may stop at nothing to to retain the advantages they enjoy.'

So it seems it's really the Christians' fault after all, just as the Mohammedans keep telling us! See http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/africa/8555215.stm for the rest of this twaddle.

CNN at least got it right. In the BBC report, it was simply "communal violence"...and in the AP report, the Muslim stringer (local reporter) blamed it on Christian discrimination against Muslims.

Meanwhile, is anyone aware that far more Nigerians (mostly Christian) have been killed in the last decade in "communal violence" than Palestinians in the I/P conflict? Why then aren't there an endless array of university demonstrations and seminars on behalf of the Nigerian Christians the way there is for the Pals? Why then isn't there a divestiture campaign from liberal Protestant churches against Nigeria the way there is against Israel?

Why? Because of the "official" narrative of course. One group - THE Pals - are the victim of "oppression", the other is caught up in "communal violence"...(tantamount to an act of nature in which no one is responsible).

It's not about injustice...it never was. That's just a masquerade for the bleeding-hearted.

The report I read described it as "retaliation" for violence against Muslims BY Christians in January. Just more evidence in the minds of the MSM that ALL religion perpetuates violence. (grrr.)

From the New York Times story on this:

“I’m seeing more than 20 corpses right now, women and children who have been killed,” Mr. Peter said. “Virtually every house has been burned down. Corpses of people are littered about. They were slaughtered with machetes. I can see the cuts on their head and neck.” (Emphasis mine.)

In accordance with these Qur'anic mandates:

Sura 8, Verse 12 – Remember thy Lord inspired the angels (with the message): “I am with you: give firmness to the Believers: I will instill terror into the hearts of the Unbelievers: Smite ye above their necks ...”

Sura 47, Verse 4 – Therefore, when ye meet the Unbelievers (in fight), Smite at their necks ...

Hugh,

For the record, I am a Southern Sudanese and I have lived through the two Arab-African wars in the Sudan--1955-1972 and 1983-2005. In the first war, the South lost over a million people, and in the second war over 2.5 million perished at the hands of Muslim Arabs aggressors for a total of over 3.5 million slaughtered. This is just in the last 50 years since the founding of the artificial state known as the Sudan by the Anglo-Egyptian Condominium. This figure of 3.5 million dead is, however, misleading because it does not include the number of South Sudanese who were killed by the Muslim Arab enslavers from 1820s (when the Arabs made their first contact with black Africans) to 1930s. No one knows exactly how many Southern Sudanese Africans died during that period. The late Professor Robert O. Collins of the University of California at Santa Barabara, considered by many as the foremost historian on the Sudan and who was a friend of mine, once told me that the number of Southern Sudanese Africans who died as a result of rapacious Muslim Arabs aggression numbered in millions.

Hugh, I have been reading your articles at JW and other fora such as Campus Watch and the English Review for a few years now. You are one of the most fascinating writers I have ever come across. You are a very knowledgeable individual and I have learnt a lot from your articles. In addition, I would like to thank you from the bottom of my heart for keeping a spotlight on the sufferings of the African people of South Sudan.

We sent th UK weapons for the Home Guard during WWII. When I say "we", I mean the citizens of the US. Private weapons were asked for and delivered. The government may have provided logistics, but the people provided the weapons.
How about we do the same for the Christians in Nigeria?

Yeah...I know. Obama would never allow the Christians the ability to defend themselves against muslim scum that want to kill them for not being muslims.

I'm sure that Obama feels the same about muslims the world over...

From Audacity of Hope: "I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction. ...

islam is a lie and
Truth is killing it.

I have sent emails to my senators and representatives in the U.S. Congress to ask President Obama with the help of the United Nations to try to stabilize Nigeria by trying to stop the ethnic or religious violence there. I was horrified by the latest round of killings of ordinary people in this case Christians. I think we should all raise our voices to our elected officials toprotest the killings and to try to find a solution.

Oil-rich Nigeria will become Islamic soon, warn Dutch MPs

Oil-rich Nigeria, population 140-million, now is very close to an all-out"Islamic takeover', warn two Dutch MPs. And this would have a massive impact: from Nigeria, Africa's islamisation would spread fast -- resulting in hundreds of millions of refugees.

This would have a massive impact on the future of all of Africa and of the West, warn Dutch parliamentarians Geert Wilders and Martin Bosma of the Party for Freedom, writing in an editorial in the Dutch religious daily, the Reformatorisch Dagblad.

http://www.digitaljournal.com/article/269323

What will happen if a civil war starts up again in Nigeria?

Muslims countries will naturally support the Muslims- financially, weapons wise, as well as with Jihadis. What will we do? Will we do what we did previously in Biaffra or just wring our hands and plead for restraint?

If we support the Christians, then that will be the start of a religious world war - Christians vs Muslims. Is this the only solution?

Slice by salami slice, Islam will destroy everything. The only way is to stop Muslim immigration to the West, and then reverse it.

But this cannot be done, as it destroys our claim to be a tolerant liberal democracy. It is on the last, that Chaudary and Bakri stake their prediction, that Islam will win. We cant have both - tolerate Islam as well as keep liberal democracy. We have to thus abandon liberal democracy to start the process of removing Muslims from the West. Unfortunately, there is no possibility of this happening.

We are then looking at the demise of the West. Even Geert Wilders cannot stop this, as his policy is to remove only criminals and Muslim who publicly state that they want sharia. In any case, Geert Wilders will eventually be defeated in an election, while the demographic Jihad continues.

So what have we left? Nothing except war. In war, enemies self-segregate to mutually compatible camps/areas or national states. This way we do not have to sacrifice our liberal democracy.

The report on this that I found on Australia's ABC news site was even more disgusting in its elision of Muslim responsibility for this horrendous butchery of helpless people.

http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2010/03/08/2840097.htm?section=justin

Read it, and gnash your teeth in fury at the careful omission of 'Muslim' from the description of the machete-wielding gangs.

Andrew Geoghegan, the ABC's Africa correspondent, is an idiot, and worse than an idiot.

However: he does include one little, horrifying detail.

"most of those who died were women and children, who had tried to flee but were caught in animal traps and fishing nets."

I. hate. Islam.

I heard this story on the radio on the way to work yesterday as other posters have described. "Sectarian violence between Muslims and Christians in Nigeria have left more than 200 dead". There is really little hope of ever garnering enough attention about foreign muslim activities until the MSM changes its reporting 'facts'.

If you want to know the future of much of Western Europe 100 or so years from now, you no longer need a crystal ball, you need look no further than Nigeria today, and see what the last 50 years of letting these hostiles into our countries will mean for our great grandchildren onwards.

"Islamic Assailants Kill Hundreds of Christians Near Jos, Nigeria"

http://www.crosswalk.com/news/religiontoday/11627251/

(Report by 'Compass News Direct'.)

"Nigerian Vice President Goodluck Jonathan put security on high alert Sunday and began operations to capture the "roving bands of killers" who attacked the town of Dogo Nahauwa, just south of Jos."

Why do you want to capture them...?

I have a very nice rifle I would be willing to donate to Christians in Africa who want to protect them selves from murdering Muslims. I will even throw in a few 100 shells. If anyone knows of a Christian defense fund please post it up.

Now where is Mr. Barcode, the guy who works with the Muslim chicks and thinks we all just need to learn to get along with them?

The Muslims act as they have always done and the MSM elides as much as possible. The Catholic Church is pretty craven too, talk all kinds of bullshit about Palestinian rights but never a peep when Copts in Egypt or Christians in Nigeria are slaughtered. Too afraid of offending Muslim sensibilities I suppose.

Dear "Sword of Damocles,"

Thank you for your kind words. And thank you as well for that most useful additional information about what has happened, at the hands of Arab Muslims, to black Africans in the Sudan during the entire period of its existence as a state, and even before, since the 1820s. I hope that your own testimony is heard by many, including those who need to hear it most, and that includes those who have been deliberately targetted in this country for sinsister campaigns of Da'wa. I have no doubt you know exactly what I mean.

I googled - nigeria un calls for calm
It's there Ban ki moon wants restraint.
