Nigeria: Muslims slaughter 40 people, burn church

Apr 30, 2016 10:39 am By Robert Spencer

The Fulani herdsmen are Muslims with links to Boko Haram, the Nigerian branch of the Islamic State.

“Nigeria: Dozens slaughtered and church burned down in latest Fulani massacre,” by Ruth Gledhill, Christian Today, April 27, 2016 (thanks to Lookmann):

Up 40 people or more have been slaughtered in a new atrocity by an armed force of Fulani herdsmen in Nigeria’s Enugu State, according to local reports.

In the run-up to the massacre, local news sites commented on the arrival of 500 heavily-armed herdsmen in and around seven villages in the Nimbo area.

Ten homes were razed by arson, cars and motorcycles were destroyed, animals killed and Christ Holy Church International also burnt to the ground, the Nigerian news site Vanguard reported.

One young man died when the bus he was travelling in was set fire to near the church.

One victim, Kingsley Ezugwu, speaking to Vanguard from his hospital bed, said: “I was coming out from the house when I heard the community bell ringing. I was going with a friend to know what the bell was all about, only to see about 40 Fulani herdsmen armed with sophisticated guns and machetes.

“They pursued us, killed my friend and shot at me several times but missed. They caught up with me and used machetes on me until I lost consciousness.”

When the attackers realised he was still alive, others were summoned to finish him off. He managed to crawl away and said he was helped to hospital by a “good samaritan”….

    Those Muslims who slaughtered forty Christians in at that church in Nigeria were actually following the instructing found in the Koran that was given by the brutal and vicious god of Islam. The Koran does teach “mark a great slaughter among them…” 47:4. As a matter of fact, the god of Islam likes it when non-Muslims [Kafirs] die. For example, the day after the London train bombing, on July 8, 2005 on Palestinian television Imam Suliman Satari said “Annihilate the Infidels… Allah count them and kill them, to the last one and don’t leave even one.” Furthermore Imam Abu Hamza Al-Masri said “What makes Allah happy? Allah is happy when Kafiers get killed. [1]
    As shown in an earlier posting the god of Islam is not the same god as the God of the Bible. The above words of these Imams reflect the example of Islam’s prophet and the teachings of the Quran. “Muhammad now fell upon them [the Jews] slew all the men, nine hundred of them…”[2]
    Moreover, the Quran reads “When ye encounter the unbelievers strike off their heads, until ye have made great slaughter among them. Verily if Allah pleased, He could take vengeance on them without your assistance, but He commandeth you to fight His Battles.” 47:4
    In short, these Imams and their murderous prophet with their bloody Quran show the world what Islam really is. After all, Jesus did teach “by their fruits ye shall know them.” Matthew 7:20. [KJV]

      “Stop blaming the British”>

      The British who held the mandate to administer “Palestine” with the declared objective to establish “a National home for the Jewish People in Palestine” since about 1921, firstly removed about 82% of the land of “Palestine” and created, East of the Jordan River, an artificial entity original referred to as “Trans Jordan” in which they installed what was meant to be a puppet king the “Emir” Abdallah, – direct import fro the Hejaz – the area of Mecca and Medina to rule over a sparse population which did not even know him.

      In 1929, following incitement by Jihadi Muslim clergy including Haj Amin al Husseini – a friend on Hitler in the later quest to exterminate all Jews and uncle of deceitfull ignoble Nobel Prize Winner Yasser Arafat.

      Jews were massacred in many of the cities of Israel then referred to as “Palestine” but the worst atrocities were committed in Hebron where at least 67 peaceful Jews including the aged and a baby had, their genitals mutilated by the Muslims while still alive and then massacred.

      The British controlled police did not lift a finger to save the Jewish victims, but after the massacre, expelled and exiled the Jewish survivors, ostensibly “for their own protection”.

      You cannot expect unbiased reporting from the British Bull…t Corporation, because it has been deliberately packed with Arab and Pakistani origin Muslims an rabidly lunatic left supporters.

      We face daily Jihadi Muslim atrocities which are deliberately ignored despite having killed more than half a million people over the last few years in Syria alone while Israel gets condemned each time a terrorist with blood on his or her hands gets killed either in the middle of a murderous attack on Jews or in hot pursuit shortly thereafter when the killing is necessary to stop the terrorist from continuing murdering Jews.

    If the claim that some make is true that Christians and Muslims both believe in the same God then in makes no sense at all that so many Muslims hate Christians to much the the literally murder them.
    Actuality when examining the fact is clear the the God the the Bible in not the god of Islam. For example the Koran teaches about the god of Islam “He is alone: God the eternal He begetteth not…” 112 and likewise 19:35.it reads “It is not befitting to God that He beget a son.” In great contrast, The God of the Bible has an only begotten Son. As seen in the Bible in John 1:14. which teaches “And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.” Likewise.,John 3:16. teaches “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son…” In short, the god of Islam in not really the God of the Bible Who is the God the Christians believe in. This ,in part, helps explain why some Muslims hate Christians so much that they murder them.

      To point, the Jewish faith does not believe that the Messiah has yet to be born and they are not committing these kinds of atrocities. Muslims are worshipping an empty void anyway there is no God in this, only to them who are in fact murderer’s.

      Allah is Satan.
      The koran states that allah is:
      The lord of the worlds.
      The great deceiver.
      The destroyer.
      Etc, etc.
      The Bible states that Satan is:
      The lord of this world.
      The great deceiver.
      The destroyer.
      Etc, etc.
      Search “allah is Satan” on YouTube.
      It brings things into perspective.

    Another Obama failure, see Brett Baier’s fox news reports from last night on the’ shrinking military’ and the Obama administration’s plan to deduce it to a social experiment of fairness and budget cutting. The sharks are circling in the water literally. War is not fair and the barbarians prove it daily.

    Apr 30, 2016 at 12:14 pm

    Until the people have enough and rise. Yes, civil war.

    The governments wont do anything, preferring ‘peace and quiet, calm etc.’ And propagate that Islam is a religion of peace.

    However, more and more people begin to realize that the only peace with Islam is graveyard peace, and no other kind.

    But to get a mass reaction takes time, and more atrocities. That is more atrocities to be reported, for the public to be aware of. If the, what Pamela Geller calls so aptly, enemedia would not suppress most of the atrocities and the rampaging low-level-terror-attacks, the people would have already risen. Perhaps. Hopefully…

    Two things need to be stated. First in my last write up I forgot to give the name the of the translation of the Bible given.I quoted from .It is THE NEW KING JAMES VERSION. Second. those Muslims who murdered those Christian are deluded murderous fools . As as the N.K.J.V. reads in Galatians 5:21 that a murder “will not inherit the kingdom of God.” Likewise the Bible in Revelation 21:8 gives a list of those who will be thrown “in the lake, which burns with fire and brimstone…” and one of those mentioned on that list are murderers.

    There is just so much of this barbarism around today, people don’t know, because they don’t want to know, and stuff like this might not even make the 6 o’clock news, though even if it does, it’s unlikely to be prominent.

    If the Pope wants to know why he must speak out, then these atrocities should should show him, his duty is to highlight these events, not hide them.

    He may think he’s being Biblical by washing people’s feet, but he would do well to remember that Pontius Pilot performed a little washing ritual of his own at another crucial time in history.

    • linnte says

      Apr 30, 2016 at 1:16 pm

      Pilat washed his hands of the crime in front of a huge mob of Jews who wanted Barabas instead of a peace keeper. It made no sense to him and that act put the blame on Jesus own people. The Pope washing the feet of Muslims is simply cowardice in the form of pomp and ceremony, “having a form of Godliness”.

      • WorkingClassPost says

        Apr 30, 2016 at 9:50 pm

        Not sure I take that view.

        The gesture was more likely similar to the way it’s seen today, i.e. ‘Nothing to do with me’…

      • Bob says

        May 1, 2016 at 10:30 am

        Our UK politicos, like Pilate’re terrified of street riots, but in the case of our lot, they prefer to ignore sharia-governed areas of our cities, and ignore it all, in the stupid hope that, given enough time, these Muslim outlanders will integrate. Not a chance!

      • firefoxhits says

        May 1, 2016 at 10:45 pm

        Cowardice? Yes, in that he says little to nothing to address the continuing slaughter/genocide of Christians by Islam.
        COMPLICITY as well in that by his actions, the Pope (ridiculously) accepts Mohammed’s assertion: that Islam is a true Abrahamic religion and therefore equal to Judaism and Christianity, that Christ is not the son of God and didn’t die on the cross, that there is no triune God, and that allah (Satan in disguise) is God, and also that every other twisted Biblical reference is correct. How the Pope can accept these (anti-Biblical) koranic claims, take Muslim refugees only (leaving behind the Muslim persecuted Christians in the camp), and pander to them by washing their feet on camera, AND NOT cause RC marches and demonstrations world wide is astonishing. It is blatantly blasphemous, yet I’ve heard not one peep from Catholic laypeople or clergy. This Pope is supposed to be Christ’s reprentative on earth, and yet he is commiting the most grievous sin of blasphemy, denying Christ’s divinity.
        This is hard to digest.
        The Pope is obviously complicit, as is Obama and the UN in their push of this destructive migration, and the idiot Merkel with her open door policy, …but complicit in what?
        Is this the end time?
        I am not trying to be conspiratorial, but the more I look at this, the less sense it makes.
        Not even stupidity alone or the fulfilling of personal agendas seems to fit as an answer.

    This is raiding.

    This is what Muslims have done across their borders to any non-Muslim society or community, ever since Islam was first invented.

    This is what caused ruin and desolation all along the southern shores of the Mediterranean for centuries. Muslims in that instance would raid from the sea, attack villages, burn crops and orchards, kill livestock, kill people, and kidnap little girls and young women to take away as sex slaves.

      Islam’s influence reduced the Mediterranean world to a desert. Kind of matched where the Arab invaders originated.

      Prior to Islam, the Levant, Judea, Egypt and North Africa were productive and creative. Ruin and desolation follow Islam.

    I am a Nigeria and my ancestral home is close to Enugu. I know that most posters here are white hence without knowledge of the foundational problems causing Muslim incessant attacks on the Christian south east Igbo tribe.

    Nigeria as a country is composed of three major ethnic groups, the huasa-fulanis in the north (90% Muslims), the Igbos in the south east (99% christians) and the yorubas in the south west (evenly mixed of Christians and Muslims).

    These tribes have different culture, languages, social behaviors, religions, worldview, intelligence and what have you. There is no way they can live in peace and Harmony, IMPOSSIBLE! Its like merging the Arabs, the Jews and the Hindus in a single country and expect them to live in peace and tolerance, that’s not possible. That’s what nigeria is made of and this problem was created by the British government, by 1914 amalgamation of the northern and southern nigeria without their consent, and its still sustained by the British govt till date. So the British, and not the Muslims, should be held responsible for any ethnic or religious killings in nigeria because they created the avenue for this madness, and even support the Muslim north against the Christian south east till date, by military and political assistance.

    The interest of the British lies on the oil and gas in the christian region of the south east which they believe will be better exploited if the owners of the oil has no direct control of how their economic resources is managed hence the evil alliance of the British and the Fulani jihadist against the Christian south east. And the Fulani’s, having understood this enormous advantage, see it as a gift from allah to always fight the Christians, using their herds of cattle as an excuse for killing human beings. It seems they value their cattle more than human beings. And of course the Nigerian federal govt will come to their rescue whenever the Igbo’s want to retaliate.

    So don’t blame the Fulani jihadist, blame their master and enabler at 10 Downing street, London.

      Interesting background Danny to the conflict but it’s a bit lame continuing to blame colonial administration for all Nigeria’s (and Africa”s) problems. My understanding is the main foreign oil company in the South is Royal Dutch Shell, not a British company. And borders that lack sense from an ethnic point of view, haven’t stopped cross border attacks by Islamists. The bottom line is the not borders or inherited administrative structures that feeds the killing but Islam. So yes, we do blame the Fulani herdist and his Jihadist master who put a AK47 in his hands

    • dumbledoresarmy says

      May 1, 2016 at 8:53 pm

      The Igbo and Yoruba NON-MUSLIMS, whether Christian, non-religious, or following traditional beliefs, MUST shelve their lesser quarrels and cooperate to resist the Jihad.

      Otherwise they will be destroyed and Islamised and their lands laid waste.

      The Ummah or Mohammedan Mob has always benefited from division within the camp of the Infidels. Muslims don’t hate Yoruba less than Igbo. Muslims – no matter WHAT ethnicity they are, no matter whether they are white, brown, red or yellow – are taught to hate ALL non-Muslims qua non-Muslims.

      THAT, dear sir, is what you have to get your head around.

      By the way, Mohammedans are probably doing everything they possibly can to exacerbate existing divisions amongst non-Muslim Nigerians and to create division in places where it previously did not exist.

      STOP blaming the British. The British were fools; they were probably fooled and suckered by the Mohammedans. They should have assisted *all* non-Muslim Nigerian tribes to resist the Muslims, and urged them to work together *as* non-Muslims. They didn’t; a huge missed opportunity. They should had allowed Nigeria to divide into Muslim and non-Muslim, and concentrated ALL post-independence aid, counsel and investment on strengthening the non-Muslim parties. But now they are gone, long gone. You are free to act. If you don’t prepare to hang together you will all hang separately, as the jihad picks you off, one by one by one. If Yoruba and Igbo spend more time worrying about each other – FELLOW CHRISTIANS – than about the Jihadi Muslims hammering on the gates, then *both* Yoruba *and* Igbo will get killed or enslaved by the Mohammedans.

      Your choice.

      The semi-Christianised tribes of western Europe had exactly the same choice, back in the day. Sink their differences, shelve their quarrels and FIGHT to resist the Jihad; or get killed or enslaved. Luckily, at Vienna in 1683, enough of them were prepared to work together and fight side by side, despite differences, that they were able to give the Ottoman Empire a massive knockout blow and push it back for centuries.

    Nigeria – one of the countries strongly supported by Quebec and Eastern Canada. Those Provinces refuse to use Canadian oil and instead buy from Saudi Arabia, Nigeria and other Islamist / terrorist countries. For some reason, the Canadian Liberal Government, headed by the current PM, J. Trudeau, does nothing to support the Western Canadian economy.
