Nigeria: Muslims storm church during worship service, murder at least 19 Christians

Lieutenant Colonel Gabriel Olorunyomi "declined to say who was suspected of the attack." Why, it could be anyone! Doubtless it was armed Islamophobes mistaking Christians for Muslims.

"19 killed in attack on Christian church in Nigeria," from AP, August 7 (thanks to David):

Gunmen have shot dead at least 19 people in a Christian church in central Nigeria, according to an army official.

Lieutenant Colonel Gabriel Olorunyomi said the gunmen stormed a church building where worshippers had gathered to pray late on Monday in the town of Otite, near the city of Okene....

He declined to say who was suspected of the attack and there has been no claim of responsibility.

However, a radical Islamist sect has claimed several church attacks in Nigeria this year.

Almost daily I see headlines about an attack on a church in Nigeria, think that it's a follow-up then find it's a new attack.

"Gunman" MSM-speak for armed muslim killers.

The reason that these Muslims entered that Christian worship servise and Murdered those Christians in answered, in part, in the Bible. For it is written in Proverbs 29:10. "Bloobthristy men hate a man of integrity and seek to kill the upright." [NIV]

One of the reasons that those Muslims hated those Christians so much that they murdered them is because, no doubt, the their imams were filling their minds and hearts with untrue and outright false and evil things about Christians and Christian doctrines. The imams don't really care if the things they claim about Christianity and Christians is valid or not just as they keep speaking evil and terrible things to the people in the mosque about Christians and Christian teaching. The Bible explains about such men as these imam. For in Second Peter 2:12, it explains "they speak evil of things they do not understand and will utterly perish in their corruption."

It also should be noted that in the Bible the word "perish" does not mean loss of being but loss of well being. As in ending up going to ruin by suffering forever in the fires of a awful place called hell.

Ladies and gentlemen

don't just rely on the AP - or AFP, or Reuters, or other international 'news' org - version.

Make yourself familiar with the English-language Nigerian press online, where you will get many more details: and where you will encounter lively Comments sections (buzzing like a hornets' nest) attached to most of these reports. You may add your mite to the proceedings, by clicking 'like' on all the better-informed Islamosavvy comments that would not be out of place here in the Jihadwatch forum.

And many of the Nigerian Christians - and other non-Muslims - seem to be quite Islamosavvy, and take no nonsense from the Mohammedan apologists who also appear.

Here are a few samples from the Nigerian press coverage of this latest ghastly Mohammedan mass killing of Nigerian Christians.

How we escaped from Kogi church attack, by survivors

[This 'Sun News' is not the British 'Sun' newspaper; it appears to be a local Nigerian outfit).

Excerpt (to see the sorts of details that AP, AFP, Reuters, etc., will not give you):

'The survivors said that the gunmen first blocked the church’s three entrances before spraying the occupants with bullets.

'The hoodlums, they noted, arrived at the premises in three unmarked Toyota buses, disarmed the policemen keeping watch outside the gate and blocked the three entrances before opening fire.

'Narrating his ordeal to our reporter who visited the injured victims where they were hospitalized in Okene yesterday, one of the survivors who identified himself as Clement Okoro, said that he was lucky to have temporarily gone out of the church to ease himself when he suddenly heard sporadic gunshots. “

'When the gunshot subsided, a few of us ran to the church only to see the lifeless bodies of believers littering the ground with blood flowing like an abbatoir, I am only lucky that my wife and children were still in the shop when I left for the church, this is a most horrendous situation,” he lamented

'Another victim, said they were in the church for the weekly Bible study when all of a sudden they heard shooting.

He said all he could recall was that he found himself in the hospital with bullet wounds on the legs and arms.

One of the pastors who refused to disclose his name, said he and his wife escaped by divine intervention. He described the episode as “most wicked because **when they shot the worshippers , they began to spray bullets underneath the benches in the church so that no one could escape** [my emphasis - dda]."

Another report, more general:

Gunmen kill 16 at Deeper Life Church during service

A sample from the Comments attached to this particular report:

MONIKA BEMBA "There is no doubt that boko haram has the backing of the Northern Nigeria elites especially the moslem. That these mad BASTARDS go into the church and murder undefended worshipppers and the Northern elites do not come out and condemn them puplicly speak volumes. Let anyone point out a prominent northern moslem who is not among the sponsors of the SATANIC group called boko haram. Rather than condemn the group, they attribute their evil deed to the poverty in the north as if poverty is only prevalent in the north. The blood of the victims of this unwarranted violence cries out to the ALMIGHTY GOD and He will act at the appropriate time."

and another Nigerian who sounds like he may have been lurking at Jihadwatch, for he has certainly done his homework (he was responding to a Muslim commenter who had trotted out the usual BS about 'peace')

UZODEE - "These Muslims never stop trying to twist issues to confuse people; it is their stock in trade. They speak of peace as if we do not know the real meaning of peace.

If they are so 'peaceful' why is are 99.999% of terrorists Muslims? Why does the Koran in clear and unambiguous terms prescribe death and killings and fatwas for non- Muslims and former Muslims?

Check this out:
· Sura 9:29 Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day nor hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden by Allah and His apostle nor acknowledge the religion of truth (even if they are) of the People of the Book until they pay the Jizya with willing submission and feel themselves subdued.
· Qur’an 8:7 “Allah wished to confirm the truth by His words: ‘Wipe the infidels (non-Muslims) out to the last.’
· ”Qur’an 8:39 “So, fight them till all opposition ends and the only religion is Islam.
· ”Qur’an 8:60 “Prepare against them (non-Muslims) whatever arms and cavalry you can muster that you may strike terror in the enemies of Allah (non-Muslims), and others besides them not known to you. Whatever you spend in Allah’s Cause will be repaid in full, and no wrong will be done to you.
· ”Qur’an 5:72 “They are surely infidels who say; ‘God is the Christ, the Messiah, the son of Mary.
· ”Qur’an 8:12 cp. 8:60 “Instill terror into the hearts of the unbelievers”; “smite above their necks and smite all their finger-tips off them
· ”Qur’an 2:191 “...kill the disbelievers wherever we find them..


· For the uninformed, there is a principle in Islam called 'Tafq' [I think he means taqiyya - dda] whereby the Muslim is allowed to lie, decieve and mislead in order to advance the cause of Islam.

This is the principle behind the bucketful of lies-telling us Islam is a religion of peace; when the Koran itself is unequivocably clear that Muslims have a mandate from Allah to exterminate non-muslims.

After each co-ordinated attack, their leaders are quick to say 'peace'- peace indeed!

To all Muslims, I have this candid advice: there is no point trying to turn black to white.

We know what Islam is all about.

Islam comes from the natural hatred of Arabs for Christians and Jews and is an esoteric and sublime fantasy that elevates the concept of heroic deaths in battle and propagates the Arabist viewpoint of booty inspired war mongering against the enemies of Allah- all for some sex-fantasy experience in 'Al-Jannah'.

There is a better way; the way of repentance, forgiveness of sin and reconciliation to God. There is the Way, the Truth and the Life. Find Him. Today."

Deeper Life Church Massacre: Casualty figure rises


Again, see the Comments. And not all Nigerian Christians are prepared to simply lie down and expose their throats for the scimitars.

NSE - "My friend; Christians are the casualties of such an evil act by boko haram, and you are indirectly attributing the victimalization to the moslems. Why this capital denial? So you have so much become afraid. There must be a day of reckoning, those criminals cannot go scotch free. What are Christian leaders doing if at there is anything of such?

" It is not only prayer that will save the Christian community of Nigeria from such, calamity.

"It is good to be prayerful and also be armed to the teeth, like those criminal boko haram members are. You neeed real armed security.

"The body of Christ needs to be armed and needs to be watchful to the executors of such threats. And it does not look like there is any government anymore that cares for its citizenry in Nigeria".

SONWA - "Christians must ''watch and pray'', don't close your whole eyes while praying. 
Churches must now use tite [tithe] and offering donations wisely by investing on private security in and around the churches.


"Times has changed, it's no more whole money in the pastors pocket. 
while some faithfuls pray inside, other faithfuls must stay outside and protect with licenced guns or machetes.
"
It's no more time to cry and whine, seeking help from whom? you don't know''.
Leaderships starts from you. Jonathan and police cannot be everywhere at everytime.
For God so love the world that he GAVE his only begotten son, Jesus Christ.
God loves this WORLD, so let's not rush going to Heaven. 
Protect your environment.
May thier soul rest in peace".
