Nigeria: Muslims murder four, burn church in “blasphemy” riot

Jun 2, 2016 4:57 pm By Robert Spencer

A busy day for the jihad in Nigeria. This is a different incident from the one posted here.

Abubakar Sani Bello

“4 killed, church, shop burnt in Niger State’s ‘blasphemy’ riot,” The News Nigeria, May 31, 2016 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):

Four persons have so far lost their lives while at least one house, a church and a shop have been burnt in a riot sparked by alleged posting of a blasphemous statement about Prophet Muhammad on the social media in Pandogari town, Niger State last Sunday, according to Nigerian military authorities.

In a statement released on Tuesday morning, the military announced imposition of curfew on the town to curb the raging violence in which it said has also led to looting of 25 shops.

Major N. C Agwu, Assistant Director Army Public Relations, in the statement released on Tuesday morning said the religious riot began at about 6 pm on Sunday when one Mr Methodus Chimaije Emmanuel, a 24 year old trader based in Pandogari, Rafi LGA of Niger State was attacked and killed by a mob in the town on allegation of posting a blasphemous statement about Prophet Muhammad on the social media.

He added that troops of 31 Artillery Brigade of 1 Division, Nigerian Army on operation MESA quickly intervened and restored law and order while a dusk to dawn curfew was imposed in the town.

However, the rioters embarked on further violence on Monday morning , looting shops and blocking the Lagos – Kaduna Road, a major artery connecting the northern and southern parts of the country.

Again, according to Major Agwu, military personnel in conjunction with the operatives of Nigeria Police and Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps(NSCDC) took control of the situation to forestall escalation of violence.

He however said despite the intervention, one church, one house and a shop were burnt while 25 other shops were looted.

“Three other persons including a personnel of the NSCDC also lost their lives. Some arrests have been made in connection with the violence and the suspects handed over to the police….

      lol, Probably, and to prove ’em wrong they killed them. It is a religion of peace after all. If you ignore the genocide, mass rape, rampant terrorism, and the destruction of western culture.

    How many more terror attacks, beheadings, jihads and installation of Sharia before the world awakens and deports every single muslim? They are not wanted they hate everyone and deserve to be put in their mid-east hellholes together and we can watch them destroy one another as they have tried to do since the 7thy century. Sunni hating shia hating Wahhabi hating all the other sects we are unfamiliar with now.
    This book describes Islam:”The Devil We don’t Know-The Dark side Of Revolutions in The Mid-east” By Nonie Darwish:Like a ponzi scheme Islam must have expand to survive. The ponzi scheme works as long as more and more people join the pyramid of Islam. When the light of truth reaches the pyramid, especially the majority on the bottom, who are not benefiting from the system and who are being sacrificed to preserve and perpetuate the fraud, then the whole system will collapse and the colossal deception will be exposed.
    Tyrannical Islam will collapse when the civilized world exposes it for what it is and rejects it ; when its leaders get tired of their lies, fabrications, and incitement against innocent victims; and when Islamist are discredited and disrespected no longer given funds to enable terror groups and jihadist individuals.
    The author dreams of a day when the snake of sharia will crawl back into its hole in mecca, as Mohammed himself said before he died.
    A book everyone should read and thank Darwish for having the courage to write it.
