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

Nigeria: Muslims storm two churches, murder 31 Christians as they worshiped

Oct 24, 2014 6:01 am By Robert Spencer

Tensions-grow-even-more-in-Nigeria-for-Christians“The attack on Christians in Taraba state is a planned genocide against Christians by Islamic insurgents who have invaded the southern part of the state, inhabited mostly by Christians, since February.” But as long as no “Islamophobia” is being committed, the world will little note nor long remember this.

“Muslim Extremists Kill 31 Christians in Taraba State, Nigeria,” Morning Star News, October 24, 2014:

JOS, Nigeria (Morning Star News) – Armed Muslim extremists stormed two churches in Taraba state on Sunday (Oct. 19) and killed 31 people as they worshipped, a church leader said.

Two pastors, one pastor’s son, and 28 other Christians were slain in the attacks in the villages of Gindin Waya and Sondi, said the Rev. Caleb Ahema, president of the Christian Reformed Church of Christ in Nigeria. Ahema said the onslaught was the seventh attack on Christian communities in Wukari Local Government Area since February.

“The attack on Christians in Taraba state is a planned genocide against Christians by Islamic insurgents who have invaded the southern part of the state, inhabited mostly by Christians, since February,” he said.

Ahema said the Muslim extremists, who wore military uniforms, were members of the Islamic extremist group Boko Haram who came from outside the state. Recently insurgents from Boko Haram, based in Borno state, have reportedly joined ethnic Fulani herdsmen in attacks on Christians in Taraba and other northeastern states.

Some recent attacks, according to Nigerian press reports, have been carried out by Fulani herdsmen who have become members of Boko Haram, which seeks to impose sharia (Islamic law) throughout Nigeria.

While ethnic Fulanis have had longstanding property disputes with Christian farmers, church leaders say attacks on Christian communities by the herdsmen constitute a war “by Islam to eliminate Christianity” in Nigeria.

“This is the third time that the Muslims have attacked Christians on a Sunday,” Ahema said. “The attack led to the death of four persons in Gindin Waya, and 27 persons in Sondi. Among the dead is the pastor of the Sondi church, Nuhu Useni, and his only male child.”

Pastor Useni and the three other Christians slain in Sondi were buried on Monday (Oct. 20), he said.

Ahema said the killings have caused excruciating pain for the Reformed Church in Nigeria, and he appealed for the Nigerian government to take steps to stop the blood bath.

“Muslims seem determined to wipe out Christians in this country,” he said. “What is happening? How come Christians have been attacked seven times now, and it seems as if the country has no good security intelligence gathering network, or that security reports are not being used?”…

    Meanwhile in never-never land, a man is arrested for placing a pig’s head outside a jihad centre under construction.

    Maybe with Bill Maher on board the Leftists might begin to see it as fashionable to speak up in protest.

    “For peace to reign in the land, all Christians must convert to Islam. Allah has tasked all Muslims in Quran 9:29 to continue to attack Jews and Christians who refuse to believe in him and his messenger, Prophet Mohammed.”

      @Michael. Ofcourse you are right. We Christians are hated by your Allah(Devil) because we(christians and jews) are childrens’ of Almighty God. Devil hates us that’s why his servants are killing us. Be repent and come to Jesus unless you will perish. Don follow Devil follow God. Our God is Love. Your god is Killer.

    ‘“Muslims seem determined to wipe out Christians in this country,” he said.’

    And by trying to do so, Muslims are wiping Islam itself!

    The Religion of Peace…and tolerance. Clearly they are doing the will of Satan as inspired by the satanic verses.

    To quote Barrack Obama:
    ‘No God condones this terror. No grievance justifies these actions. There can be no reasoning – no negotiation – with this brand of evil. The only language understood by killers like this is the language of force. So the United States of America will work with a broad coalition to dismantle this network of death.
    ‘In this effort, we do not act alone. Nor do we intend to send U.S. troops to occupy foreign lands. Instead, we will support Iraqis and Syrians fighting to reclaim their communities. We will use our military might in a campaign of air strikes to roll back ISIL. We will train and equip forces fighting against these terrorists on the ground. We will work to cut off their financing, and to stop the flow of fighters into and out of the region. Already, over 40 nations have offered to join this coalition. Today, I ask the world to join in this effort. Those who have joined ISIL should leave the battlefield while they can. Those who continue to fight for a hateful cause will find they are increasingly alone. For we will not succumb to threats; and we will demonstrate that the future belongs to those who build – not those who destroy.
    ‘Second, it is time for the world – especially Muslim communities – to explicitly, forcefully, and consistently reject the ideology of al Qaeda and ISIL.

    The problem is that the ranks of the Nigerian police, military, judiciary and government are thoroughly infiltrated and subverted by Muslims who will *never* lift a finger to assist any non-Muslim in Nigeria who is being attacked and abused and killed by Muslims.

    And this is why non-Muslims in the West should vigorously oppose all further subversion/ infiltration of *our* police force, military , civil service, judiciary and government by *Muslims*.

    It seems West’s ‘leaders’ and MSM have lost interest in the ongoing Islamic jihad massacres of Christians in Nigeria, except maybe with the exception of the abducted girls.

    The muslim ideology is worst than nazi ideology…. We must stop the islamic ideology, unless it will kill the West civilization….
    If I am against jewes I am anti-semite…. But the Quran is a book full of anti-semite orders….This book must be forbidden because is intolerant, haterous, freedom killer, fascist, nazist…..

    The reality – a reality you are manifestly attempting to obscure – is that the Ummah, or Mohammedan Mob, has been waging nonstop Jihad – by many means, not only by direct violence though that has often been its preferred method – against all of its neighbours for 1400 years.

    Compared to Islam, communism is a johnny-come-lately, a flash-in-the-pan. North Korea is just one country; the sinister OIC is **fifty-seven** countries, and although some are much worse for resident infidels than others, there is *not one* of those countries within which any non-Muslim minority can be truthfully said to be free or safe, and those that are less bad could very well turn nasty in the future…if they undergo an Islamic revival.

    Furthermore, the ugliness that Muslims inflict on their neighbours – the robbery, the rape, the invasion-and-subjugation, the enslavement and the sale and use of slaves, the ghastly apartheid + extortion racket + system of sadistic soul-killing that is the dhimma – is all right there in the core texts.

    When Muslims are cruel and abusive toward non-Muslims they are *obeying* their core paradigm.

    Islam *is* – at its core, in its basic blueprint – intolerant, warlike, merciless, cruel, “extreme”. It’s not a good thing with an “extreme fringe”; rather, groups like ISIS are *at the centre* of Islam, showing us *exactly* what the texts (and 1400 years of history drenched with the blood of Islam’s victims) tell us Islam was always intended to be, and has very often been.

      This nutcase calling itself “Christy” should be barred from posting on here because she’s not at all interested in the purpose of this website. She hasn’t come here to educate herself, she’s come here to weaken our arguments that Islam is a dangerous and a totalitarian ideology. Even though, based on fact, that is impossible.

      But this individual calling itself “Christy” is ever so determined you see. Because she won’t stop posting the same old material. Her purpose for doing so is that she hopes people who are less educated about Islam are lurking on this blog and will come across her posts and become convinced that what she posts is “counterbalancing” to the “distortions created” by people like “me” (or you or anyone else who agree with me).

      Distortions. Yes, this dishonest and sick individual believes that calling Islam what it is really is, is a distortion.

      Is some wealthy prince from Saudi Arabia or a wealthy donor from Qatar paying this troll to post this information repeatedly? Or is she doing it out of her fanatic belief that Islam represents the truth?

        “Christy” also likes to post on the blog posts relating to Christians being persecuted by Muslims.

        This is a topic where she *can* post where it is possible to obscure reality since the other blog posts relating to her coreligionists savagely murdering non-Muslims is not an area where she can cast any doubt as to what happened.

        The issue of persecuted Christians however, is an area where she can cast peoples’ minds into doubt over whether Christians are “really” being persecuted by Muslims or not.

        So she posts all these distractions, hoping to weaken the connection between violent Islamic doctrine and violence carried out by Muslims toward Christians and other non-Muslims, even though Islamic text SPECIFICALLY calls for killing non-Muslims. Codified belief of Islam. Written in Islamic stone. For all of Islamic hellhole eternity.

        There’s no use in trying to weaken the connection between Muslim behaviour and the killing of Chrisitians, in the hopes that Christians in their masses won’t turn on Muslims and condemn them and their sick, sick “religion”. They will. Everyone will when they find out. Because it’s the truth. Muslims have killed Christians in their masses and will continue to kill Christians for as long as this earth continues to tolerate this ideology which is masquerading as a “religion.”

        This individual calling itself “Chrisity” is obviously mentally ill with a condition called Islam. If we can get the medical community to research this psychotic disorder and give it standing as a mental illness, we might be able to send sick individuals like poor Christy to a locked asylum so we won’t have to deal with her.
