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

Central African Republic: Islamic jihadists storm church, murder at least 30

May 29, 2014 12:02 am By Robert Spencer

central-african-republicThe mainstream media has portrayed the violence in the Central African Republic as emanating solely from the Christians, generally without noting that they were reacting to initial persecution from the Muslims. No violence against innocent people is ever justified; the mainstream media only notices such violence in the Central African Republic when Christians are the perpetrators.

“At least 30 killed in Muslim raid on Central African Republic church,” Associated Press, May 28, 2014 (thanks to Kenneth):

BANGUI, Central African Republic — A priest in Central African Republic says at least 30 people have been killed after suspected Muslim rebels attacked a church where Christians were seeking refuge.

The Rev. Paul Emile Nzale told The Associated Press that the gunfire and grenade attack took place Wednesday afternoon in a displacement camp at the Church of Fatima in Bangui, the capital.

An Associated Press reporter counted at least 20 bodies taken to a hospital in the city because the morgue was not in service.

Wednesday’s attack is the largest in Bangui blamed on Muslim rebels since their Seleka coalition left power in January.

Most of the sectarian violence since then has been Christian militia fighters targeting Muslims, and there were already fears that Wednesday’s attack could prompt deadly reprisals.

    Everywhere in Africa Muslims are slaughtering Christians, because they are Christian.

    The line between Moderate and Militant Muslim is as unknown as the daily body count. But both parties can unanimously agree that Christians and non believers must be put to the sword. And they prove this daily

      There are no “moderate” Muslims. Period! They only come in one kind as shown by these murderers in Africa, al Qaeda, Syria, Libya, Pakistan, Afghanistan,Iraq, Iran, Muslim Brotherhood, all sorts of Muslim organizations claiming to be moderate. The term moderate Muslim is invented by the stupid westerners who don’t want to call spade a spade and tell the truth about Islam and Muslims!!

        ” moderate Muslims ” is the favourite word of Muslim apologists and Islam´s water carriers.
        ” moderate Muslims ” “peaceful Muslims ” ” tolerant Muslims ” and Kaffir loving Muslims are the equivalent of cancer cells in remission. Currently inactive but still cancer cells waiting the activation signal.

      The supremacist hatred of Jews and Christians is nourished 17 times daily with the recitation of the al Fatiha prayer in which Muslims express their superiority over those groups and remind themselves of their duty to subjugate and rule.

      Killing a kafir in jihad is not a crime.

    Imam obama is delighted by this news. He and his lefty minions hate Christians, the lefty news media hates tem too. Death to Christians! Hail muslims! Stupid shitz dont know the muslims are more against what they espouse than any Christian ever was. Poor fools believe that because muslims are fewer in number now that they will never enforce their will on them. They dont care what happens to those lect behind in the hell they created after they die. The left is the most immoral, sociopaths ever to have lived.

    The irony is that muslim extremists and muslims in general (now I think about) in the the West who preach the righteousness of islam and the need to expunge all non-islamic culture that it continues to feed on (Technology, medicine and the Modern World in general) have the luxury of expounding their views in a free society and the rights that it guarantees with little fear of recrimination. Whereas a non-muslim in muslim majority countries may live in constant fear (as their muslim believer comarades do so, too) of simply expressing their understanding of god.

    Why there is no unified uproar, protest etc to Muslim world for this killing of non-Muslims all over the world, specially more so these days in Africa where African Muslims are slaughtering Christian Muslims(also Africans just like them). Or Washington and others are ignoring it saying its “just a cultural thing”- such hypocritic bastards when it comes to Islam and Muslims!!

      Obama is a muslim and he hates Christians so no he isnt going to say shinola!

    … generally without noting that they were reacting to initial persecution from the Muslims.

    Gee, this sounds like India. Or, maybe a better comparison would be that the referee always gives the penalty to the player who reacts to the foul that started the fracas.

    “. . . the mainstream media only notices such violence in the Central African Republic when Christians are the perpetrators.”

    No, I think the media notices Muslim violence and many in the media understand that much Muslim violence is sourced in Islam’s holy texts. The media simply chooses to ignore these facts, publishing only what the media chooses to notice.

    What’s important is that more and more people (not agenda-driven, underhanded control agents like the MSM) are noticing that it is Muslims who are always the aggressors, and that those attacked by Muslims are understandably defending themselves. Hats off in these efforts to Spencer, Geller, Emerson, and lots of others.

    There is no Allah. There is only Man’s mind. Their ways are subject to their whims. They do anything in the name of the thing given by their prophet, written in his writings.

    Religious materials, Books and ideologies are man’s works. You do not see any god writing them. Have you seen such a thing? No. You only see men selling the books, men who print them out, men who add to them. man’s handiwork.

    Rulers wanted religions, to control ppl by. So they buddied up to ruling classes of priests, who had to be settled with, to get them to go along with it. Look in early Egyptian history. There you will find early formations of rule with religion. Egypt is one of the first ruled lands to have both high priest and Ruler in one ruling house.

    Islam was written at first by only one man, the prophet they worship. then many added to it down thru the years. That is why there are many different thoughts written between the pages of older writings. Wisdom given by men.

    Man wrote things in books of writings, to rule the masses by, and to control them during important times for rulers. Ppl always needed something to give them hope against tyranny, but it only made them subject to it. What you believe in, rules you.

    Then you are not free. But bound to things which you think you must do. Even if it makes you look like nothing more than a savage beast.

    But even a lion has a reason for his kill. It needs to eat. Those who kill because of a belief that is not verified in any way, have only their belief to blame. For it is true, you ARE what you believe.

    jihadists need to read the whole thing, to understand its true intent. Not seek only passages that suit the desire of your heart to be at war with those YOU cannot tolerate. That is what happens in countries ruled by religion.

    jihad was invented by the first jihadist. Not Mohammad.

    That this Roman Catholic church was just attacked by those militant Muslims shows all the good that came out of the pope going to Israel and siding so much with the goals, powers, forces and people of Islam.
