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

Niger: Muslims torch 68 churches

Mar 31, 2015 4:03 pm By Robert Spencer

christian-church-burned-1Shhhh! “Talk about extreme, militant Islamists and the atrocities that they have perpetrated globally might undercut the positive achievements that we Catholics have attained in our inter-religious dialogue with devout Muslims.” — Robert McManus, Roman Catholic Bishop of Worcester, Massachusetts, February 8, 2013

“Dozens of churches burned in Niger by Muslim group,” Alabama Baptist, March 12, 2015 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):

NIAMEY, Niger — At least 68 churches, two of which were Baptist, have been burned in the West African country of Niger.

Panlieba Tchalieni, president of the Union of Evangelical Baptist Churches of Niger, reported that the church burnings, carried out by Muslim extremist group Boko Haram, occurred in the Zinder region and Niamey.

“In terms of Baptist churches in Niger, we have two churches that are burned: the first evangelical church in Niger built in 1928 and another behind the Niger River built 15 years ago,” Tchalieni said.

Boko Haram, a Nigerian-based radical jihadist group that seeks to establish Sharia law, has extended its activities to other countries in West Africa, including Niger, where it has carried out recent attacks in the southeast.

Thousands of civilians fled their homes in the southeastern Niger town of Diffa. The area was already under stress, providing refuge to some 150,000 people who crossed the border to escape the violence in northern Nigeria.

Niger, which shares much of its southern border with Nigeria, declared a 15-day state of emergency in Diffa after a series of attacks by Boko Haram….

    Dear Robert
    I am an Evangelical Christian and my heart just breaks at the suffering our Brethren have to endure in these Muslim lands.
    We are definitely witnessing Biblical Prophesy unfolding each day, as more and more horrors unfold at the hands of these Muslim savages. We are praying bro.
    Love in Jesus.
    Dan

    Perhaps Bishop McManus should consider visiting Niger to engage in some inter-religious dialogue… I’m sure the folks there would really appreciate some of those “coexist” bumper stickers.

    Not reported in the New York Times, although there are many related articles.

    I can see how the Holocaust remained unreported in the Western Press. It was always a mystery.

      The Holocaust was not reported then because of strong antisemitism, people simply did not care that Jews were being murdered. Now the situation is different, we have traitors in the government, leftist media controlled by Soros and Saudi money, and generations of students educatated by the likes of Bill Ayers.

      No one can change yesterdays. What we can change is today and tomorrow. Also remember that the father of all lies is in this world. By the Grace of God we are saved through the Lord Jesus Christ. Bless God and God Bless Israel. I am stunned by the catholic church hierarchy thinking they have a handle on this. For shame

    Yet we still have to hear the Christian response of “love them”. What the hell does that mean? A good priest defined love as “to will the good of another and do something about it”. Now that makes sense. Let us DO SOMETHING to stop the murder and oppression of all people. Kissing their a$$ is the opposite of loving them!
