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

Nigeria: Muslims murder over 40 Christians, burn down their houses

Oct 21, 2016 8:12 am By Robert Spencer

“The attackers were in the hundreds and were well armed. Some of them wore army uniforms, while others wore police uniforms. Some of them exchanged gunfire with the few soldiers stationed at the post office in the town, while others burned down houses of Christians.”

Could they have been police officers and members of the Nigerian military? There is no reason why not, but at the same time, the uniforms were likely meant to keep the Christians complacent as the jihadis approached. After all, as Muhammad said, “War is deceit.”

“More than 48 Christians Killed in Kaduna, Nigeria Massacres,” Morning Star News, October 19, 2016:

GODOGODO, Nigeria (Morning Star News) – Muslim Fulani herdsmen killed more than 40 Christians in an attack in this town in northern Nigeria on Saturday (Oct. 15) and left another eight dead in an assault three weeks earlier, area leaders said.

Besides the eight slain on Sept. 24-26 in Godogodo, a predominantly Christian community in Kaduna state, the Muslim Fulani herdsmen also wounded eight Christians by gunshot and machete cuts, the leaders said.

Godogodo residents said that the second massacre began at 5 p.m. on Saturday (Oct. 15), barely two hours after Morning Star News left after investigating the September attack. The Rev. Thomas Akut of the Evangelical Church Winning All (ECWA) Good News Church in Godogodo said the assailants burned houses and shot Christians dead in the attack over the weekend.

The 41-year-old Pastor Akut and his family escaped harm, sleeping on the ground outside town until Sunday morning (Oct. 16), when they made their way to Kafanchan, he told Morning Star News by phone.

“We fled into the bushes, and some of us escaped to safer areas,” he said. “The attackers were in the hundreds and were well armed. Some of them wore army uniforms, while others wore police uniforms. Some of them exchanged gunfire with the few soldiers stationed at the post office in the town, while others burned down houses of Christians.”

Initially he saw 22 Christians had been killed, he said.

“This casualty figure is only those I saw the following morning, but the number of deaths may be higher as many were killed in the bushes too,” Pastor Akut said.

Solomon Musa, an attorney and president of the Southern Kaduna People’s Union (SOKAPU), said at a press conference on Monday (Oct. 17) that local residents identified at least 40 people who had been killed.

“Godogodo communities once again came under very fierce, terrifying, brutal, savage and barbarous attack by Fulani herdsmen without provocation of any nature from Saturday 15th October, 2016, to Sunday afternoon,” he said. “So far, the locals have been able to identify not less than 40 corpses, aside from the several other corpses burnt beyond recognition.”

A Kaduna State Command spokesman reportedly said the official death toll remained at 20.

Nearly all houses in Godogodo have been burned, SOKAPU’s Musa said, and the Muslim Fulani herdsmen also destroyed property worth hundreds of millions of naira, besides grazing their cattle on farmers’ crops and destroying what remained….

    muslims doin what muslims do best – KILL BURN RAPE AND DESTROY

      On the contrary, history suggests that Muslims are best at eradicating Trinitarianism without cultivating egalitarian secularism, socialism, Marxism, etc.

      From where you sit, John, the best you can do is to study the bible and to improve your use of biblical strategy and try to make yourself and others more intelligent. For example, you could proclaim Paul’s great answer when he was asked when Jesus would return. He answered the question by stating new counterfeit miracles had to be invented before Jesus could return. This is a great answer by Paul if you want to defend the bible because his answer shows the lack of technology is a reason for the delay in a return of Jesus. It gives you a perfect rebuttal against someone who believes the return of Jesus is an absurd idea. The new ways of murdering people Paul is talking about hadn’t been invented yet in the first century when Paul was answering this question. They certainly have been invented now and it is easier to slaughter so many more people because of it. Paul’s answer is so good because it puts a spotlight on the innocent victims of the new murderous technology. It also is good because it shows the lack of technology is a factor in the absence of Jesus. Without technological improvements, no one would even know if there was a Messiah in the world. It also makes Jesus look good because it shows He hired someone who gave the best possible answer to the question. If you use the bible in the best way, it will give more people the opinion Christianity will win. Many Christians have thrown away the greatness of Paul’s statement and lost the ability to use it defend themselves by exchanging it for some sensational statements about the Antichrist. It is not a good idea to do this in the face of this murderous jihad. The Antichrist theory is not well grounded in the bible as very few prophets gave words that could be construed that one is coming. It also sounds equal to the Muslim belief in the Mahdi. And it is easy to use the words people use as evidence of the Antichrist in a better way, as I just did. People can only kill in or out of the womb so if there was an Antichrist he could not possibly do more than has already been done.

        TJ, i’m ignorant of many things. what did Apostle Paul say? citation, please.

        and where is this Biblical strategy explained? last i heard was that the Holy Trinity (Father, Son, Holy Spirit) desired that all people come to the knowledge of the truth, i.e. forgiveness, life and salvation, bestowed for the sake of the Son

        this differs from the will expressed by the allah god of islam (unknowable; the best of all deceivers) through its messenger, Muhammad (lately contrived; full of lust; having no compassion; arrogant) the messenger (who was really in need of the gift of faith and reconciliation to Almighty God,won for him by Jesus) proclaimed all sorts of wickedness be done against those who were not slaves of the alla god, especially Christians who were to teach and baptize in the name of Father, Son, Holy Spirit. and what they did and do is well expressed above by John: kill, burn, rape and destroy.

        • boakai ngombu says

          Oct 21, 2016 at 9:32 pm

          “what they … the slaves of allah …” unless one would add mooch, steal, fornicate, disfigure, corrupt, ruin all for the sake of the vengeful, belligerent alla god of islam who gets gay (delighted) when blood runs.

          Read 2 Thessalonians 2. Paul gave a good statement there about the future incarnation of evil being more miraculous than it was in the first century. Christians really should say Paul’s words about future miraculous forms of murder have come to pass in the forms of deadly gas that killed many Jews and support the Jews in this way. They also should respect the innocent who have been killed by bombs, guns, or abortion technology. Any new technology invented after Paul said this that kills on a massive scale fulfills the words of Paul. It is better action by Christians for themselves in their relationship with God to honor the innocent who were killed in these miraculous ways. It makes it impossible for God to glorify these victims and lift them over your head if you support the dead innocent victims. This is better teaching for a soul than ignoring all the dead killed in miraculous ways and putting the words in 2 Thessalonians 2 solely on some Antichrist figure.

          If one reads and really studies John’s Revelation, the last book of the New Testament, plus other Old Testament prophecy…one find that all or at least some of what Is happening today with the Muslim situation is part of His plan for the end times…..zIg that be the case. ….then there is nothing we can do to stop it….although there are st least one or two instances where God did change his mind…But in this case it is not very likely that He will….If we part for change are we orsyi.g agsi st God’s Wil??……Too deep for this shallow mind…..GOD HELO US…WE CAN’T HELP OURSELVES…..

      Christians are being murdered and targeted all over the world…AND THE WORLD STANDS STILL…Muslims are killing the faithful…faithful to God..while the Muslims are being faithful to their god, muhammad who directed them to kill all who don’t follow their teachings……..

      The headlines in Robert Spencer’s and Pamela Geller,s writings should be the headlines in all the media throughout the WORLD and just. MAYBE that MIGHT get the attention of the WORLD…….But I really doubt that it would..
      The world leaders have become so bogged down in the muck and more of the Islamic
      madness they has crept upon them that they know not what Is right or wrong.and seem to care less than ever about sinking further and further into themuck and mire.

      How do we get the world’s attention to what is destroying us…Islamic entrance to a world that has become so complacent that it is blinded, is the question of the day.
      World leaders are not listening to the people. But the people are not talking.

      if your on a no fly list maybe you should not be allowed to get a gun. ???
      but the nra says anything goes – do we really need machine guns- should muslims radicals be allowed wepons- the nra says yes. lets allow rifles- ban the handgun. =ok go on now with your nra blindfold now

      • R. GULYAS says

        Oct 21, 2016 at 7:00 pm

        no-fly lists are lists that are made by government agencies are by suspicious only. no proof and no court appearance-period. only suspicion. the government cannot take one’s rights away without laws and without proof that one is a bad and evil person. NRA has nothing to do with this.
        Muslim radical people, if proven a radical, and not by hearsay, cannot purchase a weapon of any kind unless he/she/it get them underground or with false documents, etc.

        enough for you tom perry.

    Most Christians in America, too, are complacent sheep who revere and respect cops and other statist goons dressed in official uniforms, as if those criminals were authorized shepherds. (Hmmm, what verse in the Christian testament is best for cultivating that conservative submissiveness?)

    Anyhow it will be very interesting to see how effective the Falani’s tactics are when BLM (blacks, leftists, Muslims) use them against American sheep who aren’t Goodwhites, leftists, or Muslims.

    As usual the Christian church in America is silent. They wil be all over you if you have a beer or buy a lottery ticket; but not a word on the murder of Christians.

    To own a gun in Nigeria you need a license from the government. There is no Second Amendment in Nigeria so self defense is not a jutifiable reason to obtain a gun license.
    Private ownership of handguns and assault rifles are prohibited. There are many procederural obstacles to overcome.

    Where ever you see jihad or genocide you can be sure that gun laws are restrictive.
    This is why Obama and Hillary wants our guns, so that their refugees can do jiahd on us.
