Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Nigeria: Muslims murder over 150 Christians, including a pastor and his wife and children

Mar 16, 2014 7:16 pm By Robert Spencer

Worldview-Nigerian-violence-2010-09-14Islamic jihadists (aka “herdsmen”) are operating with impunity in Nigeria, terrorizing and murdering Christians, but the world community remains largely unconcerned. And that’s understandable. After all, it isn’t as if “Islamophobia” were breaking out, or something really serious like that.

“Massacre: Over 150 Christians Butchered in South Kaduna,” from 247ureports.com, March 15 (thanks to Creeping Sharia):

Information reaching 247ureports.com from competent sources in Kaduna indicate that another massacre by unknown Fulani herdsmen occurred in the southern Kaduna town of Ungwar Sankwai in Manchok under Kaura Local Government Area [LGA]. The massacre is reported to have left over 150 lives [including a Pastor, his wife and children] killed. Homes numbering over 200 were set ablaze.

According to the information received, the supposed Fulani herdsmen arrived at the christain [sic] dominated town at about 10pm on Friday and began their killing and burning operation till 3am Saturday morning – when the Nigerian military arrived.

A surviving eyewitness, who spoke 247ureports.com through the telephone, stated that the Fulani attackers were about 40 in number and were armed with dangerous knives, guns and other unidentifiable equipment. The survivor said that the attackers began with setting homes on fire – with the occupants. “Those that tried to escape were butchered or gun down”. He added that many of the dead, died as a result of fire.

It took the arrival of the Nigerian military at 4am for the supposed Fulani herdsmen to depart the area by 3am. This was according to a source who also noted that the military upon arrival refused to enter the bushes to comb the area for escaping Fulani attackers. He said the military only occupied the affected community – without taking proactive measures to hunt after the culprits.

It is recalled that in 2012, a similar attack was recording in the neighboring town of Dongondaya in Plateau State – where over 140 persons were butchered over night by supposed Fulani attackers. Both towns share a border – and both attack share striking similarities.

In 2011, according to security reports leaked out of from Abuja, a plan by unknown persons hiding under the guise of Fulani herdsmen were said to be on the offing – to be used to terrorize the Christian communities with the northern middle belt communities – suck [sic] southern Kaduna, communities in Plateau and others….

    Islamic jihadists (aka “herdsmen”)
    MSM camouflaging the Islam connection in the INTRO headings

    BBC
    At least 100 villagers have been killed in Nigeria’s central Kaduna state in attacks linked to disputes between ethnic groups, officials say.

      CNN vomited forth the same lie about “herdsman” vs. “farmers” — at which point I flipped channels.

    This is genocide. Rwanda in slow motion.
    “Never again” must mean, never again will we contemplate stopping genocide. Especial if we have to mention Islam.

    Effectively the Christians that stay put are dead.
    These Islamic herdsmen are distinct from Boko Haram they are merely another Islamic genocidaires. It’s not Boko Haram
    Still have to thank the BBC, no major US media is covering Nigeria.
    Understandably, it’s incredibly dangerous to travel to Northern Nigeria.

      the left wing media will never honestly cover the slaughter of Christians because they support it.

      The left wing idiots want Christianity annihilated but are such pompous idiots that they just cannot believe that those they support thru silence and thru their supportive reporting styles will then turn on them.

      The left are the poster children for all that islam hates. Left winger heads will roll, so to speak.

    “..about 10pm on Friday and began their killing and burning ..”
    ie after they’d been worshipping the Goat at Friday “prayers”.

    What will it take for the leftist media and the public in general to rise up and stop these Muslim massacres? Where are the Muslim leaders of the world to stop their own people? Is it connivance? If the Holocaust, if Rwanda, etc. are to mean anything more than just figures and facts of chronology in history books, if they are to mean “Never Again”, then they should serve to awaken us from this slumber to stop it now in Nigeria.

      The leftist media supports the slaughter of Christians. They will never report accurately. They are too blind to see that after Christianity it’s their turn on the muslim chopping block.

        I wouldn’t go so far as to say that leftist media actually *supports* the slaughter of Christians.

        It’s more that this just doesn’t fit into their world-view at all—it just “doesn’t compute”.

        As they see it, Western Christians “colonialists” are the aggressors, even and anon, and they are just incapable of recognizing anything that falls outside that paradigm.

        Ergo, the killings cannot really be happening, or else they are just retaliation for Christian violence against Muslims, or some such crap.

        Please note that I am *in no way* making excuses for Western media here—they are supposed to be objectively reporting the news, not pushing their own false “politically correct” agenda.

    ” wickedness must stop”
    Eradicating that foul disease called Islam, would be a good start.

    “…the military upon arrival refused to enter the bushes to comb the area for escaping Fulani attackers”

    Does anyone know the ‘faith’ of those soldiers? Aren’t there many thousands of mohammedans in the armed forces? Anyone from Nigeria care to comment?

    Any news from the cair-crickets?

    I can not independently verify that this story is true. I am suspicious.

    I do not understand why Christian villagers and congregations in areas where they are regularly attacked and murdered do not arm and organize themselves for effective defense. 40 “farmers” destroyed 200 homes and murdered 150 people. If an alarm had been sounded at their approach and fifty armed men had fought back, the result would have been far different. And if this happened every time a church or village is attacked, it would seriously dampen the zeal of the Islamists for killing Christians. They know no one will fight back, so they are unrestrained by any fear of consequences. Jesus & Paul are clear that Christians are not to advance the gospel by force. But there is a moral imperative to defend the lives of one’s dependents and fellows from murder.

    Most of attacks occur in the north east, particularly in Borno and Yobe states where Boko Haram’s operating base is, it is not true Mr Spencer, that they are operating with ‘impunity’ the Nigerian goventment has deployed troops in an attempt to keep the peace. It is also spurious to promote the notion that Islam is the sole cause.

    …………………………..

    I see the Muslim apologists are out in force.

    The fact is that there is an out-and-out genocide against Christians by Muslims in Nigeria today.

    And if someone (really?) considers this story by 247ureports for some reason “suspicious”, then just look to the scores of stories covered by the Associated Press, Reuters, Agence France Press, CNN, etc, etc, etc…

    As for the idea that the Nigerian government is trying to “keep the peace”—as thought the violence was equally instigated by Christians and Muslims!—I believe the emphasis should be on ‘trying’.

    Muslims, now at around 50% of the population in Nigeria, are making a final push to impose supremacy there—and the government, hampered and outgunned as they are, has not been able to much protect its Christian citizens at all.

    Organization
    The organization is made up of five
    blocs; they are the Christian Council of
    Nigeria , the Catholic Secretariat of
    Nigeria , the Pentecostal Fellowship of
    Nigeria , the aforementioned
    Organisation of African Instituted
    Churches, and the Evangelical
    Fellowship of West Africa.[2]
    The CAN has Women and Youth Wings,
    a National Executive Council consisting
    of 105 members (which elects the
    President), and a General Assembly of
    304 members (which ratifies the
    President’s election). [2]
    History
    The Christian Association of Nigeria was
    founded in 1976, and originally only
    contained the Catholic Church and
    mainline Protestant groups. However, it
    later expanded to include Pentecostal
    churches as well.[3]
    In 2000, the CAN protested the adoption
    of Sharia law in northern states. [4] In
    February 2006, while President of the
    organization, Akinola issued a statement
    in response to Muslim violence against
    Christians, telling Muslims that they did
    not have a “monopoly on violence”. The
    following day, Christians rioted in
    retaliation against Muslims, leading to
    more than 70 deaths. [5][6] Akinola later
    claimed his statements had been
    misinterpreted in the western media. He
    even threatened to resign in case the
    riots should continue. [7]
    On May 2, 2004, more than 630 Muslims
    were killed in Yelwa , Nigeria . The dead
    were pinned white name tags identifying
    them as members of the CAN. [8] The
    massacre is known as the Yelwa
    massacre.
    In September 2007, the organization
    endorsed a social security plan put forth
    by Jigawa State Governor Sule Lamido.
