Islamic 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….

CNN vomited forth the same lie about “herdsman” vs. “farmers” — at which point I flipped channels.
King Dave says
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.
islamisdeath says
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.
just a canadian lady says

Sarcasm, not everyone sees it, but it’s funny when you do.

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

I’m sure our Demonic prez is cheering along with the rest of the muzzy’s . Not once has he lifted a finger to stop these senseless slaughters shame on him and his followers

” 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.
David King says
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.
Anthony Rose says
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.
