Islamic State in West Africa slits the throats of 16 Christian fishermen

Aug 2, 2015 6:38 pm By Robert Spencer

boko-haram-shekauBoko Haram pledged allegiance to the Islamic State last February and changed its name to the Islamic State in West Africa last April. The murder of these 29 Christians will pass unnoticed by their brethren in the West, since, you know, talking about it could harm “Muslim-Christian dialogue.” The weak and pusillanimous Christian leaders of the West, bleating “Be Not Afraid” while they cower in fear, will not be remembered favorably by free Christians of the future, if there are any.

“Boko Haram Slits the Throats of Sixteen Christian Fishermen,” by Thomas D. Williams, Breitbart, August 1, 2015 (thanks to TheReligionofPeace.com):

Boko Haram militants slit the throats of sixteen Christian fishermen on the shores of Lake Chad in the Nigerian state of Borno.

The massacre took place last Monday, but the news was released only yesterday because the area of ​​Lake Chad is devoid of any type of telephone; survivors had to reach Maiduguri, the capital of Borno state, to raise the alarm.

Earlier reports stated that ten men were killed, but the number has since been adjusted upward. According to Abubakar Gamandi, head of the fishermen’s union in Borno State, on Monday around 4 pm “Boko Haram attacked three villages on the shores of Lake Chad where they slaughtered 10 people, all of them fishermen.”

“Boko Haram decided not to use guns so as not to attract the attention of soldiers from Baga. This is why they used knives to slaughter their victims,” Gamandi said.

The victims are all citizens of Chad, where in recent months there have been numerous attacks by Islamist radicals.

Bishop Rosario Pio Ramolo, of the diocese of Goré in the south of Chad, said that in the last few months “attacks have multiplied in Chad, causing the more than seventy deaths and two hundred wounded.” The violence has occurred mainly in the capital N’Djamena and in the areas bordering Nigeria.

The increase in such incidents is thought to be a retaliation for actions taken by the Chadian government against Boko Haram, particularly in the area around Lake Chad, whose waters reach Nigeria, Chad and Cameroon.

“The Chadian President Idriss Deby has declared open war against the Islamists,’ said Bishop Ramolo, “and these acts represent an attempt at revenge. Before now the extremists had not acted in Chad, despite being on the border with Nigeria.”

Authorities also believe that some Islamists have infiltrated among Central African refugees or among Chadians repatriated from the Central African Republic. Clothing covering all or part of the face, such as the burqa or hijab, the Islamic veil, has been prohibited….

In Nigeria, Boko Haram struck out as well Friday, with a female suicide bomber on a tricycle killing six people in a crowded market in Maiduguri, in the Nigerian northeast.

Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari, who won the election in March this year on a promise to crush the radical Islamist group, said Friday that a new 8,700-soldier task force would “lead to the speedy defeat and elimination of Boko Haram.”

Yes, I am sure it will be eradicated forthwith.

    Genocide…Politicians need to start using the word ‘GENOCIDE’ for what ISIS (and its allies) are doing to Christians and ‘others’. IT IS GENOCIDE.

    The leader of Boko Haram admitted he was making war against Christianity ‘GENERALLY’.

    All Muslims are confused, many are wicked (rather like their warped founder, the Profiteer Mohammed), but any black who is a Muslim is extra confused since Islam’s sorry legacy in the matter of black slavery far exceeds, both in duration and sheer number, the shameful legacy of Western Civilization where this heinous institution is concerned.

    Moreover, the West has apologized profusely for its involvement in the African slave trade and has tried to make many amends for it. By contrast, and in typical Islamic mode, the Islamic world has NEVER apologized for its part in African slavery even though it began it some eight centuries before the West did and but for the West (e.g., the British Navy and Army engaging in numerous efforts to shut down the trafficking in black slavery in the 19th century), would still be going on——–but wait, it still is, for instance in that sorry-ass nation known as the Sudan, or in Mauritania where Senegal is concerned.

    Yes, all Muslims are confused, but those who are black and Muslim are exceedingly confused. By now one knows this or should know it.

    Memo to all black Muslims: Mohammed referred to you as “raisin heads” and Judaism and Christianity with their theological blueprints are race neutral while Islam has been, and to this day, an excuse for white Arab imperialism——-and imperialism of the worst sort, i.e., the kind that has never carried in its imperial knapsack the seeds of freedom and democracy as, for instance, those who established the British Empire did.

    Show me a black Muslim and I will show you an exceedingly ignorant person. No exception to this rule.

    @Wellington. Thank you for telling the TRUTH! As a WHITE member of a predominantly African-American church, I will tell you that, on a scale of 1 to 10, it is really hard to find people that are more genuine and giving than black Christian people. I have never encountered resentment or prejudice of any kind toward me from anyone at my church–just maybe a little reticence toward me when I first started attending. As for the black muslims with all of their hatred and prejudice against whites, who allegedly were responsible single-handedly for the African Slave Trade, I just want to scream, LIES, LIES, LIES!!! There’s no doubt in my mind that THE TRUTH WILL SET YOU FREE–and black, African-American Christians are some of the FREEST PEOPLE I KNOW!!!! Martin Luther King sure got it right–“Free at Last, Free at Last, thank God Almighty I’m free at last”!

      I went to a black church to hear my friend preach for one of his first times. The weird part was that I completely forgot that I was one of two whites there. The atmosphere was one of love towards one another and for JESUS CHRIST. If this could only be infectious the world would be a better place.
      Like I have said before;(1) there is only one race, the human race and the only difference in skin color is because of the amount of melanin present.
      What a waste of energy and time spent on skin color.

    With great sadness, I read this article. Subsequently, I watched the news networks to see if there were any reports of or updates on this atrocity. There was no mention of it that I could discern. Complete silence. However, there were numerous discussions regarding the killing of Cecil the Lion by an American dentist. In that instance, the outrage appeared to be international, with 160,000 Americans signing a petition that was sent to the White House demanding that President Obama extradite the dentist to Zimbabwe for prosecution. There was no equivalent outrage for the slaughter of these 16 Christians who, like Cecil the Lion, are becoming an endangered species. The question is: Why not? Answer: No one of either religious or political prominence has made the mass murder of Christians a matter of legitimate concern.

    As the article states, Bishop Rosario Pio Ramolo, the Latin-Rite Bishop of the Diocese of Gore in Chad, stated that attacks have increased in recent months, “causing the more than seventy deaths and two hundred wounded.” Ramolo’s diocese has a total population of approximately 323,000, of which approximately 25% (83,000) are Catholics. Obviously, that figure does not include Christians who are from a different denomination.

    (See following link: http://www.catholic-hierarchy.org/diocese/dgore.html)

    Given the increase of Boko Haram attacks against Christians of all denominations, it would seem apparent that the Catholic Church should address this persecution immediately. The appropriate vehicle for conveying the Church’s concern would be an encyclical that would specifically address Christian persecution worldwide and the murder of Christians, Jews, and others by those who adhere to the Islamic ideology, as that ideology is the primary source of violent attacks worldwide. Why an encyclical? The encyclical is the official manner in which the Pope promulgates his primary concerns to all Catholics – ordained, religious, laity – worldwide.

    On March 13, 2013, Jorge Mario Bergoglio was elected by papal conclave to succeed Pope Benedict XVI. Since that time, he has issued the following encyclicals: “Laudato Si” (“Praise be to you – On Care For Our Common Home”), “Evangelii Gaudium” (Apostolic Exhortation, “On the Proclamation of the Gospel in Today’s World”), and “Lumen Fidei” (“The Light of Faith”). Since his coronation as leader of the Catholic Church, 219 Nigerian Christian girls were kidnapped by Boko Haram; numerous Christians have been killed by ISIS and other Islamic terror groups, as well as by individual Muslims who perceive the very existence of Christians to be intolerable; Coptic Christians have been executed by horrific, choreographed beheading rampages; Christians have been forced to flee their homes; Christians have been sold as sex slaves, after being raped; and the list goes on. Yet, Pope Francis must not consider this a primary topic of his concern, as no encyclical has yet hit the press to bring world attention to this evil. Instead, the world has swooned over his primary concern, climate change (“Laudato Si”). The following excerpt from “Evangelii Gaudium,” is a staggering presentation of why the Catholic Church has failed in its official capacity to be a moral guide:

    “252. Our relationship with the followers of Islam has taken on great importance, since they are now significantly present in many traditionally Christian countries, where they can freely worship and become fully a part of society. We must never forget that they “profess to hold the faith of Abraham, and together with us they adore the one, merciful God, who will judge humanity on the last day”.[198] The sacred writings of Islam have retained some Christian teachings; Jesus and Mary receive profound veneration and it is admirable to see how Muslims both young and old, men and women, make time for daily prayer and faithfully take part in religious services. Many of them also have a deep conviction that their life, in its entirety, is from God and for God. They also acknowledge the need to respond to God with an ethical commitment and with mercy towards those most in need.

    253. In order to sustain dialogue with Islam, suitable training is essential for all involved, not only so that they can be solidly and joyfully grounded in their own identity, but so that they can also acknowledge the values of others, appreciate the concerns underlying their demands and shed light on shared beliefs. We Christians should embrace with affection and respect Muslim immigrants to our countries in the same way that we hope and ask to be received and respected in countries of Islamic tradition. I ask and I humbly entreat those countries to grant Christians freedom to worship and to practice their faith, in light of the freedom which followers of Islam enjoy in Western countries! Faced with disconcerting episodes of violent fundamentalism, our respect for true followers of Islam should lead us to avoid hateful generalizations, for authentic Islam and the proper reading of the Koran are opposed to every form of violence.”

    http://w2.vatican.va/content/francesco/en/apost_exhortations/documents/papa-francesco_esortazione-ap_20131124_evangelii-gaudium.html#Interreligious_dialogue

    “Evangelii Gaudium” does Christians of all persuasions no good. In essence, the Church has abrogated its role in moral leadership. Meanwhile, more Christians will die while the world remains silent.

        Aug 5, 2015 at 12:24 am

        Voeg, I agree with you 100%. What emerges from Pope Francis must be seen against the backdrop of his pro-Liberation Theology stance that sees most of the world’s problems as deriving from poverty. Notice his statement: “They also acknowledge the need to respond to God with an ethical commitment and with mercy towards those most in need.” His focus — borne out by his distinctly ill-informed conclusion that “authentic Islam and the proper reading of the Koran are opposed to every form of violence” — is not on truth, but on his preference to identify poverty as the source of Islamic violence. Either he knows nothing of Islam or has opted to confine his research — if any — to the normative political correctness that abounds with Western leaders. In either case, he has lost all credibility with those, who even as I am typing this comment, are dying at the hands of those who have indeed read the Qur’an and know well its mandates to murder. He has intentionally promulgated a lie and, due to his prominence, that lie will be the bandwagon upon which others jump, to include Obama, who has already taken the opportunity to applaud Pope Francis’ efforts against global warming (Laudato Si).

        I predict that when Pope Francis visits America, a vast array of news media hosts will slobber over his visit to the White House. Many viewers will be glued to their televisions to watch uninterrupted coverage that will highlight his meeting with President Obama and will iterate how the two of them agree on major issues: a Palestinian State and Israel, side by side; negotiations for a nuclear-capable Iran; and Obama’s Clean Power Plan. There will be no mention of Christian persecution and the thousands who have been murdered by devout Muslims. I will not be one of those watching that day.

        To Cecilia Ellis- Thank you for your beautiful post of 6:11 am repeated 6:44 am of Aug 3. I would like to add President Obama’s sentiment here to provide the stark contrast which shows his true sentiment about Christian suffering and murder at the hands of Boko Haram, ISIS, and the other demonic Islamists. “I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.”

        • Cecilia Ellis says

          Aug 3, 2015 at 11:11 pm

          Linde, thank you for your reply.

          I note and share your concern with Obama’s adamant stance, “I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.” Today, he spoke publicly from the White House, to announce his Clean Power Plan, an effort to reduce greenhouse-gas emissions. During that speech, Obama “emphasized the moral case for reducing emissions . . . invoking Pope Francis’s call for action, and scolding “cynical” critics who charged his plan would hurt minorities and the poor.”

          http://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2015/08/obama-greenhouse-gas-rule/400382/

          While I am totally unqualified to debate the issue of global warming, I am quite qualified to address Obama’s refusal to acknowledge the threats posed by a nuclear-capable Iran, by his failure to halt the unchecked aggression of ISIS and other Islamic terror organizations, by his persistent betrayal of Israel, and by his calculated refusal to name the enemy.

          Indeed, I find it duplicitous of him to say, as he did today, “I don’t want millions of people’s lives disrupted and this world more dangerous because we didn’t do something about it [climate change]. That’d be shameful of us. This is our moment to do something right.”

          http://www.usnews.com/news/articles/2015/08/03/obama-gets-personal-on-climate-change-in-clean-power-plan-remarks

          Yes, this is our moment to do something right regarding the worldwide persecution of Christians. It is shameful of us that in this moment we are not.

      Cecilia, it upsets me to high heaven when I read the pope’s blindness toward Islam and not only his, of course, but also the blindness and stupidity of many other leaders in the Church and State. God have mercy on His children and the world too so that He would give us leaders to see the truth and with courage to speak it such as Geert Wilders and Churchill and Reagan and others. I’m wondering whether God is punishing the world for its unrepentant sins by giving us such blind leaders and also giving us such crazy weather. What can we do but pray and work too as you bravely are writing even against the powerhouse of the R. C. Church. God bless all of us not only to know the truth, but with courage to preach it. God help us, otherwise Islam will simply in due time take over as the devil has in the past. God’s believers in Jesus will always be present in the world, but, gosh, I don’t like to suffer especially if it can be prevented.

        John, I have thought much about your reply and, besides appreciation for your response, have noted the burden borne by Christians, Jews, and non-Muslims specifically because they reject the evil of Islam. That awareness keeps me awake at night. Indeed, it saddens me that, like Abraham Lincoln, I am compelled to say: “…I know that the Lord is always on the side of the right. But it is my constant anxiety and prayer that I and this nation should be on the Lord’s side.”

        Even more so should the Church be on the side of the Lord. That it is not, in this case, demonstrates that the Church has had the experience but missed the meaning of Matthew 5:14-16:

        “You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.”

      Bernard,

      Some ten years ago on Jihad Watch, Hugh Fitzgerald reminded readers of the Biafra war:

      “During the Biafra War of 1967-1969, which was triggered by a massacre by Muslims of Christians, the entire Western world stood by and allowed the Muslims of the North to slaughter the Christian, mainly Ibo, south. These Muslims were aided by outside Muslims, including Egyptian pilots who strafed and bombed Ibo villages, killing tens of thousands — without any opposition, anti-aircraft fire, anything. ”

    My cousin is married to a Christian fundamentalist guy who takes charity work quite seriously. Well, at a family funeral several years back he told me a disturbing story. He had been approached by an aid worker just back from West Africa to raise money for forty or so electric wheel chairs and various prostheses. He’s a doctor, and asked what this would be for. He was told that there were a few dozen men from a beach village who had their legs and arms “stumped” in that they were lopped at the knees and elbows. Well, he put together the wheelchairs, battery chargers, prostheses, and got a prosthetics specialist in to fly over there with him. The men were there, stumped, just as promised. It turns out the village was Christian and a group of armed Moslems walked into town one night and made a lesson of where not being a Moslem would get a guy. The devout Moslems explained that they were not gonna kill them cuz they wanted them to related to others what happened and why.

    He said it was a disturbing way to spend a week’s vacation, but he was glad to do good.

    turning the other cheek seems to be a poor response to militant Islam. If Christian “leadership” is unwilling to help, at least have the good sense and common courtesy to stay the hell out of the way.

    One reason that those jihadists of Boko Haram murdered those sixteen Christian fishermen is explained ,in part, in the Bible. For in the Bible in Proverbs 29:10 it teaches “Bloodthirsty men hate a man of integrity and seek to kill the upright.” [N..I.V.]

    “…our respect for true followers of Islam should lead us to avoid hateful generalizations, for authentic Islam and the proper reading of the Koran are opposed to every form of violence.”

    Thus the Sheppard entreats his sheep to expose their bellies to the ravenous wolves.

    May such Sheppards rot in Hell for eternity…

    I promoted this thread once yesterday in front of 1,900 people.

    Re Duh_swami: “# All lives matter…..depending on where you live, if you live over there, not so much…I’m glad I live over here and not over there. But we have to protect over here from becoming over there…If we don’t, there will be no there, there,it will all be here, and it is either fight, die or become someones lackey…”

    Yes. That is the essential point. Clearly and effectively stated and incontrovertible. We are all in this together. You get the big picture and you care about humanity. This is what people need to understand.

    Re Carlos Danger: “turning the other cheek seems to be a poor response to militant Islam. If Christian ‘leadership’ is unwilling to help, at least have the good sense and common courtesy to stay the hell out of the way.”

    Yeah. Turning the other cheek only emboldens the bad guys and legitimizes their slave raids, torture, slaughter and oppression, their stormtrooper jihad and their fascist Sharia. That is not a human rights approach. That is how to fail. That is already Dhimmitude.

    In this particular struggle, tuning the other cheek is ALWAYS Dhimmitude. As a kid I understood the basic principle that ONLY turning the other cheek is disastrous, even tho I was quite clumsy ( or worthless ) in beginning Shotokan karate.
    That is why I could never be a Christian or pacifist. Fighting the Nazis was a really good idea. Fighting the Islamists is even more important. And we all must work together to face the global peril.
    I’ve been getting some good stuff done in social media. Reached about 5,500 in the past 2 days, not counting youtube comments.

    Found this quote on youtube:
    “As long as we have masters in heaven, we will be slaves on Earth.”
    — Bakunin

    Christians are getting wiped out. But the West is bringing in the bad guys.

    Europe accepting ISIS-supporting Muslims, refusing Christians: a firsthand account
    By Pamela Geller on August 3, 2015
    http://pamelageller.com/2015/08/europe-accepting-isis-supporting-muslims-refusing-christians-a-firsthand-account.html/

    “There is no safety. I’m tired of disappearances and escapes and movement from one country to another. Here in Germany in the refugee camp there are a lot of ISIS Muslims. They come and they get asylum right away. Some of them already have Hungarian passports, and some Spanish passports. With that, the German government will give them residency. Really, I think if I were an ISIS member, I would easily get asylum right away.”

    This is all backwards. I will post this last to European message boards. Save Europe. Save the Christians too. Save everybody. I don’t think simply quoting scripture gets the job done. We need to be pro-active and work together, like Dr. Bill Warner emphasizes.
