No doubt enraged by the latest Britney Spears video, Islamic hardliners rampage in Benin.
"MISSION WATCH: Benin Islamic Militants Destroy Church And Training Center," by Stefan J. Bos for BosNewsLife, with thanks to Twostellas:
PORTO-NOVO, BENIN (BosNewsLife)-- Islamic militants in Benin destroyed a church established by Christ Power Ministries (CPM) in the latest attack against the indigenous evangelical mission group in the African nation, missionaries told BosNewsLife Friday, March 2.Christian Aid Mission, which supports CPM, confirmed the church was destroyed just three days after it was opened. There were no reports of injuries. About four months earlier militants also destroyed a CPM training center where over 2,000 Christian workers, including 1500 'disciples' and 650 children's ministry workers were educated, missionaries said.
It came as a major setback for the organization as the center apparently gained recognition for its effectiveness and members of neighboring Christian communities interested in starting similar projects visited the center to observe training methods and activities.
In addition two CPM mission schools were reportedly ransacked and destroyed by Islamic militants. It was not immediately clear which group was behind the several attacks in recent months.
ISLAMIC LAW
Missionaries said however they fear that radical Muslims, who "subjugated North African countries under Islamic law," are rapidly moving southward "in their quest to convert the entire African continent."
In a statement obtained by BosNewsLife, CPM leader Claude Sossa suggested he had experienced "the devastating effect" of the apparent Islamic infiltration of his country, "as 30 percent of Benin's population is now Muslim," at least 10 percent higher than previous estimates by the United States Central Intelligence Agency (CIA).

Sad sign of the times, when Islamofacists, knowing that the Christian faith is growing and spreading fast on the African continant, attempt to attack a Christian church community.

Meanwhile, the Jewish refugee from Nazi Germany Klaus Perls (once described to me by someone who did framing for the Metropolitan and many galleries as the "only completely honest man in the New York galleries"--but that was a long time ago, and I am sure -- aren't you? -- that things must have improved since) lovingly collected, and preserved, the art of Benin, especially those statues and masks which, under Islam, are regarded as haram and to be destroyed. Let's see what happens as the Jihad in West Africa, the Jihad uncrecognized in the West that has been going on within Nigeria since just before the Biafra War, and continues, under various guises, in the Ivory Coast(where Christians feel imperilled by Muslims coming in from Burkina Faso and other circumjacent states,, in Gambia, in Togo (where a nominally Christian dictator can promote Muslim causes).
Everyone knows about the Jihad in West Africa that began in 1804. But few recognize that for the past forty years, since about 1967, another West African Jihad has been underway. It is not only local; the Muslims of Nigeria were aided by those Egyptian pilots who gleefully strafed Ibo villages, killing tens of thousands of helpless villagers, in a war that had a million victims. Meanwhile, the same Western world that abandoned the Christians fighting against the Jihad waged against them, and for Biafra (only Ghana and Israel recognized Biafra), also appears not to recognize the Muslim origin of much of the unsettlement in conflicts that only seem to be about other things. The Ivory Coast is a good case, and the complete lack of sympathy shown the Christians of the Ivory Coast by the French govenment, and its behavior toward those Christians (that destruction, in a single attack, of the entire cote-divoirian air force, by the French), tells one a great deal about Western pusillanimity, and failure to see the role of Islam unless it is absolutely obvious, so that even a schoolboy could not deny it.

Typical Muslim tactic,destroy churches,destroy schools,destroy anything NonMUslim...destroy,destroy,destroy,destroy..
Ban Muslim immigration now....you do not want these people in your neighborhood...
...one wonders what can be done to stop the Muslim onslaugh in Africa......The African people were much better off in the days of French, Dutch, Germany, British and Italian colonialism....At least the colonialists brought trade, jobs, money,farms,medicine to the people, Muslims are bringing death , rape, torture, murder, disease, and heartbreak....
I do see a difference....

OT
I'm hoping someone has information on the alleged Cannabilism in 1098 during the siege of Antioch.
it is claimed the crusaders ate the bodies of Saracens and roasted muslims children on spits.
These allegations are being spread on websites to illustrate the barbarism of non muslims and i found little evidence to support them.
Is this another libel spread by muslim Historians and amplified by haters of westerners?
