Nigeria: Islamic jihadists murder at least 28 Christians

Jan 3, 2015 11:32 am By Robert Spencer

Christians-in-Nigeria-pray-for-the-peace-to-come“Many of our people are missing, and more than 20 houses have been burned down. We are all members of the Evangelical Reformed Church of Christ.” Will the Islamophobia never end?

“Attacks by Islamic Extremists in Nigeria Leave at Least 28 Christians Dead,” Morning Star News, January 3, 2015:

JOS, Nigeria (Morning Star News) – Muslim Fulani gunmen on Friday (Jan. 2) killed 15 Christians in an area of Kaduna state where 10 others were killed on Dec. 27, ending a week of violence in Nigeria in which at least 28 died.

The ethnic Fulani herdsmen killed the 15 Christians in Ambe-Madaki village, in Kaduna’s Sanga Local Government Area, in an attack that began at about 4 a.m., sources said. On Dec. 27 in Tattaura village of the same area, Muslim Fulanis killed 10 Christians.

In yesterday’s assault, the Muslim Fulani gunmen shot villagers and set fire to their houses, a local resident, Yohanna Adamu, told Morning Star News by phone. He said many other Christians remained missing, and scores of others sustained injuries.

“Many of our people are missing, and more than 20 houses have been burned down,” he said. “We are all members of the Evangelical Reformed Church of Christ.”

On New Year’s Eve in Plateau state, Muslim Fulani gunmen at about 8:30 a.m. attacked the Christian community of Kantoma, Mangu Local Government Area, killing three members of the Church of Christ in Nations (COCIN), residents told Morning Star News. Area resident Ulama Joseph said by phone that Muslim Fulani herdsmen carried out the attack as the Christians were preparing for New Year’s festivities.

“The attackers came from a Muslim Fulani settlement around the area,” he said, adding that the assailants beheaded one of the three Christians killed, taking the head with them as they fled. The assault has caused panic among area Christians, most of them COCIN members….

    And yet Nigerian muslims CLAIM to protect, and have protected Christians:

    Nigeria: Christians debunk reports that Muslims protected Christians

    http://www.jihadwatch.org/2015/01/nigeria-christians-debunk-reports-that-muslims-protected-christians

    Does ‘Never trust a muslim spring to mind’?

    Al Sharpton would only hop a flight to Nigeria if the attackers were white. That’s also why he avoids Chicago – there’s no glory in black-on-black violence.

      Sharpton should be held in high esteem,he is the Presidents top advisor. He is so influential he does not have to pay back taxes. Oh he is so great he became a reverend without going to school. G-d bless him for wanting peace and harmony.

        Al Sharpton uses his influence to protect Black rights, and only Black rights. He’s been blamed for causing most of the racial hate encitement protests over the years, along with his ‘liberal’ followers, in order to create racial mis-trust in the USA.

        Wasn’t he linked to, or had ties to Malcolm X? the Black supremacist, an islamic convert who regarded Whites as devils? I’m not sure, so correct me if you know I’m wrong.

        ..and yes, Sharpton is an advisor to Obama (pbuh).

        In the US, anyone can found their own religion and give themselves any title they want, Reverend, Minister, High Mucky Huck…The only time you need gov approval is when you want to get a tax exempt status. Then you have to jump through a gov hoop. You don’t have to go to school or get anyone’s permission otherwise…

    These attacks on Christians by Muslims are never going to end until Christians fight back and start killing the Muslims attacking them.
    These spineless Muslims love nothing better than attacking a soft defenceless target and raping women and children that can’t fight back.
    Muslims attacks on Christians in the Central African Republic ended quicker than you can say ” holy jihadi warrior” went the Muslims got the same medicine they were dishing out, from the Christians.

    “The attackers came from a Muslim Fulani settlement around the area,”

    To my fellow Christians: You deserve it.
    You KNOW where the attackers came from, yet you passively wait for them to attack you. This is cowardice, to say the least.
    A defensive war is a lost one. Get organized, find them, and KILL THEM FIRST. It’s your RIGHT, it’s your DUTY.

    Jesus is neither a hippie nor a pacifist.

      NO NO NO !!!!
      Killing the Muslims that are raping your wife, burning your home down and selling off your 10 year old daughters as sex slaves, would be Islamophobic, racist and bigoted.
      The correct way to deal with the Muslims attacking you and yours is to wave bibles at them and sing them a few Christian hymns. They will become so terrified that they will run away and become peaceful moderates. SARC.!!!!!!!

      ————————-
      Come on now Salah, I wonder where this is all leading.
      Don’t you think those attention getting sentences are just a bit over the top?
      — “You deserve it” — misplaces the true blame
      —” KILL THEM FIRST” — “THEM” might be easily misinterpreted to imply all Muslims.
      That sounds like an ISIS style rallying cry.

      Yes, Christians certainly have a right to defend themselves, but if we become exactly like THEM then the whole purpose of being a Christian becomes meaningless in which case the ideology of Islam would have an even easier time overcoming Christians of Nigeria if they act in name only.

      I enjoy watching Ann Barnhardt too. Her take on Christianity vs Islam is refreshingly blunt.
      However, despite the many good points she brings up — Let’s be honest — That lady wound up tighter than a pit-bull’s jaws on its favorite chew toy. She needs to take up yoga or something.

        What attracts people to become Muslims like flies swarming around a pile of dung?

        Rather than getting dirty attempting to carry away the dung hidden beneath the leaves, let the world see Muslims and the dung for what they truly are.

        I think it’s pretty clear that I’m talking about the ATTACKERS and not all Muslims.

        ——————————————–

        You wrote:
        “— “You deserve it” — misplaces the true blame”

        Does it? we all know that terrorists want to kill us, it’s obvious, that’s what terrorists usually do, don’t they?
        I can’t blame Evil either since Evil is simply doing what he is supposed to do: kill us.
        Now, if *we* don’t do what we are supposed to do (defend ourselves) then, yes, *WE* are to blame.

        ——————–

        Then, you wrote:
        “…but if we become exactly like THEM…”

        How defending ourselves makes us “exactly like them”?

      You say to your *fellow Christians* that they *deserve it*? This from you is worse than just nonsense. It’s like saying to any neighbor, you deserve to be robbed because you have stuff other people want, or to a woman, you deserve to be raped because you are a woman, or to a child, you deserve to be abused because you are a child. And it’s worse because you call them *fellow Christians.*

      These Christians may know what the muslims there are doing, but to go out first and attack the muslims is not the answer and it doesn’t make them *deserve being killed* if they refuse to attack first.
      Defending oneself is an entirely different thing than attacking someone who might attack at some point.
      Lee Rigby didn’t deserve death because he didn’t kill the two muslims first. The little old woman in her garden didn’t deserve death, the soldier in Canada, the woman in the workplace in OK, etc.

      Christians are followers of Christ. He didn’t go to Jerusalem before it was time for Him to die (John 7:8), and He said His followers could fight so He not be delivered up (John 18:36) if that was what He was supposed to do. He told His disciples to be shrewd as snakes and yet, innocent as doves (Matt.10:16). So, defend oneself and one’s family if necessary, but don’t go out and kill in a preemptive strike.

      • somehistory says

        Jan 3, 2015 at 11:35 pm

        *deserve being killed* should be *deserve to be killed*….which of course, they do not.

    There’s NEVER ever any condemnation of attacks on Christians and Jews by muslims adhering to their (un)holy book; except from Catholic, Christian and Jewish religious leaders, who are then ignored by the leftist media. Yet, whenever muslims are attacked, even by their own people, the leftist media are everywhere, trying to gain sympathy and raise ‘charity’ money for the poor, defenceless muslims.

    While ever the liberals have a voice, their opposition is forbidden to have one.

    Leftism MUST be destroyed once and for all; by ANY means necessary!

      “Catholic, Christian and Jewish”
      ———————————-

      Angry , When you differentiate Catholic from Christian it makes you sound like a duplicitous troll posing as a bigoted Protestant.
      Surely you did not mean to imply that Catholics are not Christian?

    It’s those Islamic extremists again. They do not represent the real Islam. We know that because John Kerry said so.
    ‘The slaughtering will continue until morale improves’.
    There has to be a great slaughter in the land before the people can feel better about things, that’s how Mahound did it, so it’s sunnah…

    Not to worry about the MSM,
    Al Jazeera sponsored NPR/BBC is all geared up and on high alert about this.

    Should any Christian retaliate in any way at all they will turn this from a footnote into a major news feature with daily commentary from their Muslim correspondents and interviews with anyone with a Muslim sounding name.

    That these Muslims in their jihad for Islam murdered at least 28 Christians was a awful ,heinous and unconscionable thing to do. The Bible teaches that some people have such an terrible character that they have had “their conscience seared with a hot iron.” First Timothy 4;2. [K.J.V.] The hot iron in this case is Islam.

    Islam not only survived the 7 crusades starting in A.D. 1098, Muslims have recently regressed on an increasingly large scale to Dak Age barbarity. Not that they ignore the progress of the West via the Renaissance & later the Age of The Enlightenment, they despise it & want to destroy it, holding up (if they could) human evolution towards better survival. If the Loony Left of the mainstream Media & liberal politics like this so much, sharing Narcissism with Jihadists, they need to live in Muslim Dominant states for long enough to wake up. Meanwhile, in all States where Muslims are not (yet) a majority, I suggest serious consideration of: –
    1. Declare Islam a false religion, a politico/religious cult whose members are brainwashed & intimidated int not leaving;
    2. Offer asylum to Islam’s “apostates”, as long as they’re not undercover jihadists posing as apostates;
    3. Destroy all Mosques so that Islam cannot claim the territory their Mosques occupy;
    4. Declare our & other states, whether Democracies or not, Islam-Free Zones. Even (?) China could thus deal with their Uighur problem.
    5. Re-establish laws against Treachery & traitors, remembering that Patriotism is Loving your own country, whereas Nationalism is Hating every other country (or in this case, Islamic state hates every other state & it’s from Muslim minority states are all traitors. Hard labour for life sounds better than the Death Penalty. We don’t want to become a “Death Cult” as has IS.
    What do others think of this? Too Radical? or just the necessary minimum to save humanity?
