Nigeria: Muslims murder 500 Christians over the last month

Will the Islamophobia never end?

“Radical Islamist Herdsmen Kill 500 Nigerian Christians Over Month; Villagers Afraid to Bury Their Dead,” by Stoyan Zaimov, Christian Post, March 16, 2016:

Radical Muslim Fulani herdsmen in Nigeria have killed close to 500 predominantly Christian farmers in Benue state in central Nigeria in a series of attacks over the last month, and are reportedly still hiding out among villagers, making survivors too afraid to return and bury the dead.

“In the last three weeks, Aku, Odugbeho, Aila, Okokolo and Ikobi have been utterly destroyed and over 300 people have been killed,” Steven Enada, a development advocate campaigning against the killing of the Agatu people, told Morning Star News.

“We have corpses littered in the field like a war fought in the Roman Empire by Emperor Nero,” he added, with survivors too afraid to return to bury the dead.

International Christian Concern said on Tuesday that in total close to 500 people have been killed over the past month, and thousands have died in clashes since 2001.

The Fulani herdsmen launched a heavy attack against the Agatu farmers on Feb. 22, and a week later had killed over 300 people in the slaughter.

Ikwulono John Anthony, an indigene of the affected Christian communities, said that some of the attackers are still in the villages.

“I took the risk and came to Agatu together with the delegation from the presidency of Nigeria, where we visited Obagaji, Egba, Aila, Adagbo, Okokolo, Akwu, Ugboju, Odugbeho and Odejo,” he said.

“Entire villages were burned down completely by Fulani herdsmen. Unidentified corpses of these Christians were discovered, properties were looted by these Fulani invaders. As I speak to you, Fulani herdsmen are living in the deserted villages. I couldn’t believe what my eyes saw.”

Fulani leaders are apparently accusing farmers of killing up to 10,000 cows, something which the local villagers deny….

    World says nothing lest they be accused of Islamophobia.

      Indeed, J-V.

      Therefore, taking our “leaders” cues, we best fall in, play it safe.

      If one has anything of Islam to state that qualifies as less then praise for it; modify speech. Make clear, the fault you find related to Islam is only in those “radicals” and “extremists” who have clearly perverted, and twisted a great, noble peaceful religion.

          Islam appears more clearly to be the RELIGION OF GENOCIDE.

          Congress has recognized ISIS is committing genocide while ISIS insists they are following the SUNNA of Mohammed (his sacred, ‘perfect’ example)…which is genocide.

          The conclusion is that Islam is inherently genocidal.

        I sympathise with your plight but the law of the jungle still applies in this world.You must be the stronger to survive against this evil enemy.Don’t always look to America and Europe for help.Be organised and fierce in your war and relentlessly pursue these evil deranged people until they surrender or are dead.If you depend on America or Europe as soon as they leave the evil ones will come back.
        Good luck !!?

        What surprises me is that any black people around the World follow the religion of Islam at all.Mohammed was a white racist who kept black slaves and referred to them as “raison heads”
        Arab traders supplied the British and American slave traders with thousands of black people for transport to the West Indies in terrible conditions.Slavery has always been a part of Islamic culture and was approved by Mohammed.
        Africa should adopt scientific rationalism and atheism as those two old religions don’t work for them.You should abolish all tribalistic practiises and beliefs,get educated and organised.Have a mechanism in your system of government for getting rid of dictators backed up by a 10 year maximum period of service for any President or Prime Minister.Many African countries especially those with oil could be much more prosperous if they didn’t have tribalism and corruption.Good Luck!!??

    14 million Nigerian Muslims support ISIS out of 70 million of all Muslims in Nigeria. That’s one out of five.

    The one Muslim out of five is willing to murder some of the other 4 out 5 Muslims who do not support ISIS or to collaborate with or hide the killers.

    ISIS is in every city in Nigeria and the only way to stop it is to convince Muslims that Islam is false. The destruction and death caused by ISIS will convince a lot of Muslims to leave the death cult. No doubt, Muslims in Nigeria are asking themselves if this Death Cult is something they can adhere to any longer.

          gravenimage, the fact is that Christians have got to start fighting back as they did in Central African Republic – and when they did immediately Obama’s bag of trash in the United Nations, Samantha Power, condemned them, but she never condemns Muslim violence. This is the America of today.

          Very true indeed! Boko haram is massacring the Christian minorities that live in the muslim majority Northern Nigeria, they cannot set their foot in Southern Nigeria where Christians dominate because they will get hunted down by Christian vigilantes and be massacred. You are right. Africans should follow the heroic people of CAR who fought back against the well-armed islamic jihadists with clubs and knives and defeated them completely and yet the West, instead of arming them and helping them demonized the (Anti Balaka) Christian militia in that defeated the jihadists in CAR two years ago.

        I agree with gravenimage, GF. The **kaaba** has, since the death of mohammed, been partially destroyed and rebuilt, several times. I doubt destroying mecca would have any other effect than to ratchet up the mohammedan sense of victimhood.

    Western elites have issued far more statements about how terrible it is to be skeptical or critical of Islam than they have about the continued slaughter of Christians by Muslims all over the place in the Middle East and Africa, never mind Islam’s call for complete subordination of non-Muslims when they’re not busy killing kuffaars but “only” making them feel subdued, a la Sura 9:29.

    Islam disgusts me. But so does continued exculpation of Islam by Western elites. Such elites would include Paul Ryan, the present Republican Speaker of the House of Representatives, who excoriated Donald Trump’s eminently sensible call for at least a temporary ban on so-called Syrian refugees to America (btw, I am not a Trump supporter and think Trump merely stumbled into the truth here without getting “the bigger picture” as he did once again with his statement that “Islam hates America”—–in short, Trump’s instincts are correct where Islam is concerned but he doesn’t have nearly enough knowledge, that I know of, to support these instincts). Other culprits here are Kasich, Cruz and Rubio, all of whom have refused one way or another to make any attempt to understand what Islam intends for us all and to comment on such attempt. Their silence is deafening. Shame on them for this, Cruz in particular since he gets a lot of things correct but remains blind (or scared) about Islam.

    Of course, the Democratic Party of the United States of America is beyond hopeless in this regard (Barack Obama being the front and center example of this), what with Hillary and hubby taking in millions from Muslim states to the Clinton Foundation, a front in our times for looking the other way while evil prospers if ever there were one, all the while looney Bernie makes a point in almost every one of his speeches to castigate those who would even dare to castigate the noble, wonderful, peaceful and, of course, tolerant religion which is Islam. And then there are the powerful and influential non-American “silly people” out there in the West making excuses for the oldest totalitarian ideology in man’s history. These silly folks would include, in no particular order, Pope Francis, Trudeau and Cameron.

    The time is out of joint. Boy, is it ever.

    Islam is wretched. But so is defense of Islam by non-Muslims who, for whatever indefensible reason, continue to defend the longest-lived and best disguised form of evil of all time. Very fluid times no doubt——-with liberty, common sense and real knowledge all in jeopardy right now, courtesy of Islam and ad nauseam dhimmi excuse making for Islam.

      Dear Wellington,
      I commend you for what you wrote here is very true and painful. Islam is not a religion but just a perverted idiotic ideologic cult which is antihuman and is demonic.
      I am Trump supporter and I think he is the one who will change America. The Democrat are to destroy this great nation and Islamize it.
      Please pray for our civilization but something needs to be done quick.
      God bless you.

    • Westman says

      Mar 16, 2016 at 9:41 pm

      Right on Wellington.

      Our national Politicians don’t even deserve the name of Politician because they neither learn, think, or analyse anything beyond how to maintain adequate popularity to remain in office. Leaders, they are not.

      They are mendacity on steroids when speaking about Islam; they DO know better, but truth, spoken by the prophet-of-doom to the revelers, is not electable.

      I propose a new name for them: “Polltalkers”. Take a poll, speak, and take another poll; the real life of our “leaders”.

      • Wellington says

        Mar 16, 2016 at 10:08 pm

        Agreed, Westman. One way or another (one can choose the poison du jour), Western politicians en masse——-in America, Canada, Europe, Australia, et al. (gee, for some reason, even Uruguay comes to mind here)——are betraying the West. And for what? For the oldest totalitarian ideology on earth? For Islam? For this most decrepitly influential religion of all time?

        Madness. Sheer madness. What we need is not “Polltalkers” (an accurate term and my compliments) but Statesmen. Sadly, few to almost none are in sight. I sometimes catch myself fearing a new Dark Age. If so, it will not be the truly evil who have spawned this but those like Paul Ryan and Marco Rubio, never mind the completely awful or foolish like Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders respectively, who refuse to see, to accurately name and combat, evil, even though evil is staring them in the face and starts with an “I.”

        Oh yeah, madness.

      Islam is a political fossil from the 7th century which ought to be put out of its misery. That is what the counterjihad is trying to do. We all play a part in creating a change in society’s thinking.

      The counterjihad’s ideas are freedom and democracy and critical thought. Islam’s ideas (that we oppose) are slavery, totalitarianism and authoritarian thought.

      This week congress condemned the program of ISIS as genocide, thus confirming that normative Islam teaches genocide.

      I concur, Wellington. Trump may have stumbled into the truth but I don’t know if he understands it – I don’t if he genuinely realizes there’s something wrong with islam and muslims and will act accordingly if he gets voted into office, or if he’s just pandering for votes. The worst part is that his statements about islam and his reaction to Garland are not mutually exclusive – he can genuinely believe islam hates America while also believing it’s because of people like Robert Spencer or Pamela Geller who “provoke” muslims by exercising their constitutional right to freedom of speech. In which case, all the magical thinkers – the Pied Piper followers, the people who believe the sweet tune of “Trump is anti-islam, just look at what he says”, the people who believe that all there is to the CJ movement is hating islam and muslims without any sort of understanding of why islam was allowed to fester in the West – are in for a rude awakening. Unfortunately, it’s at the expense of the people who genuinely know what’s going on.

      Do these black lives matter?

      NO. Crimes perpetrated by blacks never matter under the long-standing Leftist convention.

      The Left’s bizarre practice of deeming blacks are incapable of guilt effectively denies the basic humanity of people based on skin color. (See post below for re origins of this practice.)

      Even during the worst periods of slavery and racism in the U.S. nobody would have argued that blacks are incapable of good and evil.

      Of course not, Islamically speaking, ‘ they have clearly, in someway–even if by only being part of a group who, somewhere in the globe, is openly and aggressively resisting the ascendancy of Islam–offended Islam.

    Just 500 dead? Not news if the perpetrators have dark skin.

    The historian Paul Johnson has pointed out that the modern Leftist paradigm – crimes by “non-whites” don’t count – was pioneered in the 1950s by Dag Hammarskjöld, the Swedish former UN secretary-general who died in a plane crash during a murky mission in the heart of Africa.

    Hammarskjöld’s efforts in Africa (Katanga) laid the ground for the Congo war in the 1990s which involved some 7 million deaths. Of course, none of these facts are newsworthy under the Hammarskjöld principle.

    This sounds bad, but eventually, The civilized world will have to do something live nerve gassing of large Muslim populations to just get their attention. They can not just slaughter everyone that is non Muslim, or in a different Muslim sect. This is not the dark ages, these animals are out of control, and must be control.

    The scattered scale of killings in Africa and the Middle-East still make it genocide, but not in Obama’s eyes or mind. That puts him on the same level as Turkish PM, R T Erdogan, who is a consistent genocide denier of now and Turkey’s inglorious past, from early in the 20th century.

    This is what muslims do they are inhuman following a religion of hatred where any non-muslim will be killed, beheaded, eventually. They are taught this by IMAM’s who are very ignorant. Who would teach another human being , even at age three,to murder anyone? Genocide is, practiced since the 7th century by these animals. Obama loves them and makes excuses for them as he does for his foul employees as well accountability and Obama are never inn the same room.

    Bodies littering the fields and the world is silent. This is what stands out to me. Never a mention on mainstream t.v. about the Christian holocaust going on now across the middle east. A damn muhammad cartoon saw thousands of muslims out in the streets rioting and threatening the west but thousands of Christians are slaughtered across the middle east and the media is silent? The horror of it all. The traitorous evil that has befallen all of us because of greedy, powerful bastards in power. Shocking, appalling.
