Nigeria: Islamic jihadists murder at least 62 people, including 22 at church service

Shhh! “Talk about extreme, militant Islamists and the atrocities that they have perpetrated globally might undercut the positive achievements that we Catholics have attained in our inter-religious dialogue with devout Muslims.” — Robert McManus, Roman Catholic Bishop of Worcester, Massachusetts, February 8, 2013

“UPDATE 2-Gunmen kill at least 62 in Nigeria, including in church,” by Imma Ande for Reuters, January 27 (thanks to Filip):

YOLA, Nigeria, Jan 27 (Reuters) – Suspected insurgents armed with guns and explosives killed at least 62 people in northeast Nigeria, including at a church service, in a region where Islamist sect Boko Haram is resisting a military crackdown, witnesses said on Monday.

They killed 22 people by setting off bombs and firing into the congregation in the Catholic church in Waga Chakawa village in Adamawa state on Sunday, before burning houses and taking residents hostage during a four-hour siege, witnesses said.

On Monday, a separate assault by suspected members of the shady sect killed at least 40 people in Kawuri village, in remote northeastern Borno state, security officials said. No one immediately claimed responsibility for either attack.

President Goodluck Jonathan is struggling to contain Boko Haram in remote rural regions in the country’s northeast corner, where the sect launched an uprising in 2009.

Boko Haram, which wants to impose sharia law on a country split roughly equally between Christians and Muslims, has killed thousands over the past four and a half years and is considered the biggest security risk in Africa’s top oil exporter and second largest economy after South Africa.

Its fighters’ favourite targets have traditionally been security forces, politicians who oppose them and Christian minorities in the largely Muslim north.

The spokesman for the Catholic Diocese of Yola, Reverend Father Raymond Danbouye, confirmed 22 people killed in the church were buried at a funeral on Monday.

The military and police did not respond to requests for comment but one army source confirmed the church attack, asking not to be named because he wasn’t authorised to speak with the media.

VILLAGE RAZED

Waga Chakawa is near the border with Borno state, in which the second attack occurred that killed at least 40 people.

Several witnesses put the figure at 50, although none had counted the numbers of bodies themselves. They added that the militants had burned down the village and set off multiple explosions, shooting anyone trying to flee.

“The whole village has been razed by Boko Haram and there were still loud explosions from different directions as I left, with bodies littering the village,” said resident Bulama Kuliri, who narrowly escaped….

    Christians need to get organized and learn how to fight back and protect themselves.
    Jesus is neither a hippie nor a pacifist.

    Boko Haram, which bloodies the countryside with unprovoked attacks against innocents, is a curse to mankind

    following the immoral exemplar to man, Muhammad (recently contrived; filled with lust), the participants are bigoted killers. thinking they serve the Allah god (unknowable; … the best of all deceivers) they bring chaos and encourage no positive effect on the land

    they will pay (unless they change the way the think and act) in the place where there shall be no knowledge of God, glorious and full of grace

    Islam is the biggest scourge of mankind and can only be countered with violence because islam is not a religion but is an evil ideology of hate and conquest. All must rise up and fight back. That is the only way to beat this disease. We will not allow islam to prosper in America. We will shoot them on sight if they commit any evil acts. This is but one reason why we have the Second Amendment. This is why most Americans are armed! We will take them out!

    ………………………

    Why are so few taking note of this genocide?

    The world leaders have to meet and decide how to get rid of Islam as soon as possible. Islam is the worst global plague ever to hit our world, and it is getting worse every day.

    It’s getting worse everyday in the Middle-east and throughout Africa!
    Today our national radio news (Netherlands) reported that a group
    of Islamist teeners were prevented from boarding a plane to Syria. They were planning to join up with the Jihad there. The officials in Schiphol Airport are
    holding their passports. The radio also reported many recent terrorist attacks
    in Nigeria and in Central Republic Africa.
    Last week the first of our Netherlands troups, in total approx. 400 men
    and women were sent to Mali, Africa to protect the population there from further attacks from the Jihad.
    When will our Western Civilization wake up to the increasing attacks from
    the Islam, and START reacting before it’s too late….
    After they have taken over Africa and most of Asia, Europe will be next.
    Followed by North and South America. Until either either the Shie-ites
    or the Sunnies have taken over the whole world. Unless the Western
    World reacts before too long, this could lead to WW 3.

    from the Jihad.

    Would you in my future comments only mention me as: Rosasolis,
    instead of my complete name?

      At “Post a Comment”, just type “Rosasolis” in the box where it asks for your name.

    Here in Britain, we have a government that continually panders to these fanatics. I have no doubt that soon we will all be on our knees submitting to Islam. And they will have done it with the help of those who are supposed to protect us.

    «The military and police did not respond to requests for comment »
    They are asked by Antichrist in Washington not to talk to medias. And the western mainstream medias never send anybody to talk about these mass murders. Worse, Washington also ask the government of Nigeria not to be rude with those killers when they catch them!

    In brief, those takfiris murderers are generally paid by the wahhabites ruling Saudi Arabia and their weapons are supplied by U.S., Canada, France or G-B.

    Our western countries are being led by free masons that worship Satan. Their aim is to exterminate all true believers in Jesus-Christ in order to have complete dominion on this world.

    The only hope we have of stopping their madness is to ask the pope and bishops to consecrate Russia, as God asked in Fatima in 1917
