Nigeria: Muslims murder Christian pastor, 8 others in jihad suicide attacks

Nov 10, 2016 6:01 am By Robert Spencer

“Indeed, Allah has purchased from the believers their lives and their properties, for that they will have Paradise. They fight in the cause of Allah, so they kill and are killed.” (Qur’an 9:111)

“Pastor, 8 others, killed in attacks by Boko Haram suicide bombers,” by Jardine Malado, Christian Times, November 8, 2016:

A Christian pastor and eight others were killed in two separate attacks in Maiduguri, Nigeria on Oct. 29. The attacks were carried out by female suicide bombers who are believed to be members of Boko Haram.

The pastor belonged to the Church of Christ in Nigeria (COCIN), according to World Watch Monitor.

France 24 reported that the first blast occured when two suicide bombers tried to enter a camp that holds more than 16,000 refugees. The military however, clarified that there is only one attacker.

“A suspected female suicide bomber ran into a group of men and women at the entrance while they were coming out of the camp, killing five men and injuring 11 women,” said military spokesman Col. Mustapha Anka.

The second explosion occured about a kilometer away from the first site about half an hour later. A tricycle taxi driven by the bomber and carrying two passengers reportedly exploded outside a gas station. The taxi followed a fuel tanker “with the sole aim of gaining entry to cause maximum damage and casualty.”

Nine bodies, including the suicide bombers, were recovered in the explosions. Twenty-four wounded people have been brought to nearby hospitals, according to Sani Datta, a spokesperson for the National Emergency Management Agency.

The blasts on Saturday is the second attack in two weeks. On Oct. 12, an bomb explosion killed eight refugees in a taxi-van outside Maiduguri.

Christians who are experiencing difficulties in refugee camps in Maiduguri cannot go back home due to the constant attacks carried out by Boko Haram.

Aid workers who visited the camps described their experience this way: “Life has become hell for the more than 3,000 people living here… Already people are resorting to eating leaves. Children are dying of hunger. If nothing is done for these people, this will lead to a huge tragedy. People cannot go home because Boko Haram is constantly regrouping and continuing attacks.”…

    Obama would claim that keeping these religiously intolerant killers out of the US in denying Muslims their religious freedom to practice their religion as they see fit.

    some countries need to learn to keep out of other countries’ civil wars…if they want to kill their own ppl then so be it….’didn’t Korea or Vietnam teach anything? U can’t involve urself in other civil wars…it never works out well…..and getting involved in the Middle East was the biggest error of all others put together cuz now the UN countries were obligated to take in refugees and terrorists which have committed crimes in all these countries……why must we be forced to welcoming serial killers into our homes? They obviously have no respect for anyone else but expect respect …I respect only those who deserve it

      i’m not sure this is a civil war. if it were, muslims (slaves of the allah god of islam) would be warring against Christians (slaves unto righteousness thanks be to the Christ of Triune God).

      now, it’s just a debilitation effort on the part of those who follow SHARIA, thinking they are pleasing the allah god of islam (unknowable; the best of all deceivers) and earning credit for themselves before the face of brothers of the mosque, against Christians and others.

      the time will come when there is a civil war, unless others from the outside can’t stomach genocide efforts against Christians and others who do not believe that the allah god is more gracious and forgiving than the Holy Trinity (Father, Son, Holy Spirit). … who do not believe that the way of the messenger of the allah god is more fulfilling than that of having faith in Jesus, Savior and Lord.

      the followers of the messenger of the allah god go forth in ignorance of all that the Holy Trinity would provide them. their knowledge is not complete. pitiful are they in this state.

    If only the media could stop reporting how “racist” and “misogynist” Trump and America in general allegedly are for a moment to report on this…

    I so hope that Trump will finally allow Christians to immigrate.

    I hope that Trump gives Nigeria the Intel, reconnaisesance and equipment to track , locate and destroy Boko Haram. The jihadi in the White House has refused to help Nigeria in the right way.

    Nigeria has strong UK connections. Unfortunately.
    The anti British Broadcasting Corporation has not reported this.
    Yesterday it ran a half hour feature on the oppression of
    mohammedans in France & how the French secular constitution
    is easily obeyed by Christians & Jews, but oppresses mohammedans.
