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

Congo: Muslims attack churches, terrorize nuns

Feb 25, 2017 4:57 pm By Robert Spencer

What? How could this have happened? Don’t these Muslim attackers know about the Muslim/Christian Dialogue?

“Islamist Extremists Attack Churches, Terrorise Nuns In Bid To Sabotage Church’s Peace Mission In The Congo,” by Hazel Torres, Christian Today, February 24, 2017 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):

Islamist extremism is bringing death and destruction not only in the Middle East but in other parts of the world as well.

In the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), formerly Zaire, in Central Africa, Islamist extremists have been targeting churches in what a top Roman Catholic official believes is a deliberate effort to “sabotage the church’s mission of peace and reconciliation” in the country and bring it back from the brink of war.

Roman Catholic Cardinal Monsengwo Pasinya of Kinshasa told the Catholic charity Aid to the Church in Need that churches in the DRC are being desecrated and Christian nuns terrorised by “violent thugs” amid a wave of increased hostility on Christians.

Last week, the extremists burned the Malole major seminary and “sown terror among the Carmelite Sisters” in nearby Kananga, Pasinya said.

The extremists also attacked the St. Dominic church in the town of Limete. They “overturned the tabernacle, ransacked the altar, smashed some of the benches and attempted to set fire to the church,” the archbishop said.

Late last year, at least 38 people were killed when the Islamist militant group Allied Democratic Force (ADF) attacked the DRC town of Beni, according to Open Doors USA….

    CALLING THE POPE
    Don’t forget to WASH Jihadis FEET tomorrow

      Not before kissing them, of course.

        Look on the bright side– kissing their feet is not as bad as kissing their infernal koran, as Pope JP II did.

          To be fair, I think everyone understood less about the threat of Islam in 1999. Still–foolish, to say the least. And one wonders whether hew had read that foul tome, which curses and threatens Jews and Christians and all other Infidels.

    This is looking typical of being one those attacks that President Trump talks of ,as barely being reported if reported at all in the MSM

    Where is your pope when this is taking place ?

    Most Christians in the USA are silent about this; or don’t know about it; or don’t want to know about the Muslim persecution of Christians around the world.

      ….give this a few years. Denial will be staring the USA in the face soon enough. But by then we’ll all be brainwashed to believe we somehow brought the terror upon ourselves, for, in some way…. insulting allah the piece of sh*t satanic troll.

    Not to worry. This isn’t the real islam. It’s just a perverted version of a peaceful religion. At least, that’s the message I get from CPAC.

    I’d like to share a dangerous thought. When I read Spencer’s sarcastic quip above it felt like a slap in the face. No, I don’t mean he’s wrong in his sarcastic wit, he made his point well. No, I mean, it just seems we have reached a point in all this jihad violence and murder that it’s no longer a respectful and adequate response to the horribleness of it all. It’s like if in 1946 Germany the allies were using bar jokes to describe the horrors of the holocaust. I would never disrespect Spencer, I’d take a bullet for him–no joke. And we will all continue to resort to dark humor to expose the horrors of islam. I just wanted to share my own little epiphany, that I do believe we are in a situation that is far beyond the reach of one line ditties and puns. We really do have a war on our hands, lives are being lost, women and kids are getting raped, our freedoms are on the line. I guess I’ve known this for a while, but for some darn reason it didn’t hit my bones until this moment when I was confronted with the juxtaposition of Spencer’s one-liner followed by the news of destroyed churches and terrorized nuns. I’m sad for Europe, I’m sad for humanity, for all of us–including muslims. I can’t imagine ever talking flip again about all this, it’s just too darn terrible for cheap humor.

    JW is a defender of freedom! Long live America! and if there exists a good god, may it bless our new president with the courage and wisdom to meet the incredible challenges ahead.

      Jerry, the Allies *did* joke about the Nazis and the Axis–all the time. There’s “In Der Führer’s Face”, the Great Dictator, Three Stooges’ shorts featuring Hitler, and even Warner Brother’s cartoons with Bugs and Daffy taking on Tojo.

      Personally, I think we can do *both*–take the threat seriously, and relentlessly mock the evil of those who would harm us.

      Islam is not just evil–it is also utterly ludicrous, and pious Muslims *hate* being mocked. Mock away, I say!

      If this is not your cup of tea, fine–there are many different ways to fight Jihad.

        You know my intent was not to disparage anyone. I was only sharing my personal experience and feelings on the subject. I offered my view tastefully and respectfully to all concerned. Sorry if you don’t get the spirit of my message. I don’t think for one second Spencer’s feelings are hurt. And if he was then praise stupid me, he learned something. Have a lovely night.

          Feb 26, 2017 at 8:40 pm

          Jerry, my intent was not to give anyone a hard time, just to note that not all of those who mock evil are making light of it.

          Personally, I would never mock the *victims* of savagery–the perpetrators are a different matter.

          As I noted, if this is not your style, that is fine–but don’t assume those who use humor are not taking things seriously. There is nothing “dangerous” about your point of view–it is a matter of taste.

          Be well.

    These poor nuns. But this should surprise no one. Mainstream Islam.

    Christians are the most persecuted people in the world because there is virtually no government that is defending Christians and it is politically incorrect to show favor for persecuted Christians. Leftists WANT Christians to be persecuted, so vehement and implacable is their hatred of the religion of peace which commands its followers to love their enemies. Leftism has no such command. Leftists feel free to hate their enemies, censor their enemies and deny them the freedom of expression that they demand for themselves alone.

  11. Eric Jones says

    Good job. Its ironic that you originally wrote this in 2010. At that time i was trying to convince some Leftist that facts out weigh ideaology;to no avail. Hitler and the Brown Shirts also used street thugs in their rise to power. Eye witnesses from the Phillipines recounted to me how Marcos sent thugs to threaten people into voting for him. Yes the jihadis will do a Night Of The Long Knives on their previous Left allies.

      Great book on this called UNITED IN HATE which shows how the Left in the West, having “lost” eastern Europe’s communism, yearns for something else that satisfies the rebellious attitude that all needs to be destroyed and built up anew. Their ally: Islam. The difference however is bargaining with the afterlife which Communism, purportedly denies. That leverage captivates the gullible from the time of Mohammed onwards. And the scimitar keeps it in place and expands terror.

    “Late last year, at least 38 people were killed when the Islamist militant group Allied Democratic Force (ADF) attacked the DRC town of Beni…”

    There’s actually a jihadi group called Allied DEMOCRATIC Force! Maybe they are DNC supporters 😀 The irony is too much!

    Marxists never came to power in China, Russia, or Cuba. Did Mao ever read Marx. Doubtful, because Marx argued that the PROLETARIAN worker Revolution could take place only in ADVANCED Capitalist countries.

    China was NOT an ADVANCED Proletarian country. Just mostly illiterate peasants. Ditto, Russia.
