She told all this to Pope Francis, who called her a “martyr,” but of course said nothing about the belief system that led these men to torture her and murder her baby.
That was no surprise. Last September, the Pope met in the Vatican with Dr. Muhammad bin Abdul Karim Al-Issa, the secretary general of the Muslim World League (MWL), a group that has been linked to the financing of jihad terror. During the meeting, al-Issa thanked the Pope for his “fair positions” on what he called the “false claims that link extremism and violence to Islam.” Ahmed al-Tayeb, the Grand Imam of Cairo’s al-Azhar, has also thanked Francis for his “defense of Islam against the accusation of violence and terrorism.”
Pope Francis has proclaimed that “authentic Islam and the proper understanding of the Koran reject every form of violence,” doing his bit to ensure that as many Christians as possible would remain ignorant and complacent about the jihad threat that his precious “dialogue” does nothing to mitigate.
Pope Francis is a disgrace to the Catholic Church, to Judeo-Christian civilization, and to the free world.
“Leave them; they are blind guides. And if a blind man leads a blind man, both will fall into a pit.” (Matthew 15:14)
“Islamic Radicals Drown Christian Woman’s Baby, Rape and Impregnate Her,” by Stoyan Zaimov, Christian Post, February 26, 2018:
A Christian woman who had to watch her 3-year-old son drown in a river before she was raped and forced to carry the child of a Boko Haram fighter in Nigeria, shared her traumatic story with Pope Francis at the Vatican.
On a special night highlighting Christian persecution, where Rome’s Colosseum was lit up in red colors for awareness, Rebecca Bitrus told Francis about the horrors she has suffered, as reported by Crux.
Bitrus revealed on Saturday that while her husband managed to escape in August 2014 when Boko Haram, the Islamic radical group, attacked the small town in Nigeria where they lived, she and her two young children were captured.
The Roman Catholic mother was taken with her children to a forest encampment, where the terrorists attempted to force her to convert to Islam, but she refused.
“One of the Boko Haram said, ‘You’re not ready to convert to Islam, so I’m going to teach you a lesson,'” she said, recalling how her 3-year-old son Jonathan was tossed into a nearby river, where he drowned.
Fearing for the life of her 5-year-old son, Zachary, Bitrus said that she agreed to “go through the motions of Islamic devotion,” but inside clung to her Christian faith.
“They would come on us with their guns and force us to pray. Each time I bent down to pray, I was reciting the ‘Hail Mary’ and the ‘Our Father,'” the woman said.
“I’m convinced that’s what saved me.”
Bitrus was then married off to one of the militants, who raped her on numerous occasions over several months, eventually leading her to give birth to a male child, who she called Christopher.
After two years of captivity she managed to escape when Nigerian troops engaged Boko Haram radicals in a battle, but pondered leaving behind Christopher, who was a heavy reminder of what she had suffered. She even laid him down on the forest floor and began to walk away, but her eldest son changed her mind.
“Zachary told me, ‘Jonathan isn’t here anymore, I don’t have a little brother, so why don’t you take Christopher?'” she recalled.
The mother decided to pick up the baby and take him with them….
Francis, who also heard about the tales of persecution of numerous other Christians, including mother of five Asia Bibi who has been placed on death row for blasphemy in Pakistan, declared both women to be “martyrs.”
“The witness of Rebecca and Asia Bibi are a model for a society that today has ever more fear of suffering,” the pope said….
Tom says
When are our politicians going to understand that radical muslims returning to our country are not just bad little boys and girls who shoplifted and got caught. Returning radical terrorists are the absolute scum of the Earth that support inhuman treatment of those who are not believers of their twisted ideology and who support the most heinous criminal acts against humanity since the barbaric dark ages.
Returning ISIS or other radical Islamic organization supporters must be treated like the criminals that they are and locked away in prison for life or given the death penalty where that is a punishment.
This has to be done to send a string message to others who may think of leaving their country to fight or otherwise support terror and radical Islam. The message currently being sent is “it’s ok to go and support terror and radical Islam because you won’t face any consequences when you return home, in fact we will reward you with therapy, housing and financial support.”
What a joke !!!!
PorkToiletPaper says
They understand perfectly. It’s all by design.
Lydia Church says
Yup!
Save Europe says
As cold as it sounds, when I heard one of those three Muslima school girls (who had left the UK to go and live in ISIS territory), had been blown up by a drone strike, I laughed! This idiot called Khadija had actually been posting how wonderful it was to have Yazidi slaves. No sympathy with her demise!

Sometimes the women are as bad as male Muslims. *Ugh*.
bodega says
The Popo needs to be replaced. I can no Catholic old or new, who thinks he is sane.
Richard says
bodega: Amen to that! I am a traditional Catholic and am horrified by the state of the Church. There are no words bad enough to define what I think of this heretic Pope. No wonder Catholics are swarming out of the Church by the millions! He is destroying the Faith and throwing the Flock to the Islamic wolves. For his salvation, I pray he is insane, but do not believe it.
Stacy Girl says
Look who’s flocking to the church: every radical reprobate for miles around. And they’re right at home.
sally says
He is not “insane” in the normal sense of the word. This man was well-known as a one-world Communist in his native Argentina. If anyone is to blame it is the disgusting college of cardinals who elected him. There were worthy candidates who would have served the Church well and been leaders for the free Christian world at a time when desperately needed. Instead these old fools elected a Communist. There was no secret. If they didn’t know anything about the man they shouldn’t have voted for him. Before he is done with the Church this pope will have destroyed it.
J D S says
I do feel sorrow for this poor Christian woman but she is only one of thousands on top of thousands who have suffered at the hands of Islam’s adherents. I’m glad she got to tell her story to the Catholic pope but am saddened that the pope does not speak out against Satan in the form of islam…Only Satan could produce such atrocities as does the adherents of Islam and the pope is silent too often.
The martyred saints of the Bible that established the church in the mid east are shedding tears of blood in their graves for what has happened and the CHURCH is silent Why….Are they afraid are they cowards ??? Islam uses FEAR to hold its people …Is that same fear holding the pope and all of Christendom????
WE HAVE MET THE ENEMY FACE TO FACE ….AND WE ARE IT!!!
Alain Lenferna de la Motte says
Is Pope Francis perhaps AFRAID of fear and hence he refuses to admit and to say that Islam does not believe in the One True God? It does not believe that Jesus is God. Jesus Himself has told us that unless we believe in Him (that He is the Second Person of the One Trinitarian God/The Son of God), we can have no (eternal) Life. Period.
bodega says
I think I must ve very tired…”I can find no Catholic….”. Sorry the second time…and yes, I do reread what I write but it is reading correctly in my mind. So, who’s shy a brick of a hod???

It’s fine, Bodega–I knew what you meant. We all make typos every so often.

An old saying: “There is nothing more dangerous than a weak man with access to power.”
Are Catholic Christians in danger of abandonment under this Pope?
DFD says
“…Are Catholic Christians in danger of abandonment under this Pope?…”
Look again. He has already abandoned them!
Carol (the 1st) says
– per Vatican News it looks like this is how Francis ended that last thought…:
“Rebecca’s testimony and that of Asia Bibi represent models for a society that today is *afraid* of pain,” Francis said according to a statement from the Italian branch of Aid to the Church in Need (ACN) whose president and founder were present during their meeting. “THEY ARE TWO MARTYRS.”
The pope is oddly suggesting that we should NOT be afraid of pain. Bigger heaps of martyrdom perhaps? Instead of just giving martyrs pats on the back next he’ll be handing out suckers as well.
R Russell says
Maybe the books by Cris Putman about the last Pope are true.
Voytek Gagalka says
The Catholic Church always was busy and eager to find “martyrs” everywhere they could, so they gladly admit her to that class: cost them absolutely nothing. But is it helping to resolve anything? I doubt.
karolina says
Are you a Catholic? If you are, then you would know that the blood of the martyrs (or Christian persecutions) are the seeds of the Christian Faith. The sufferings of the Christian faithful inspire in, and convert, the hearts of both non-Christian and Christian people to greater faith, love, hope and trust in God.

Hey Black Muslims, can you spare a minute from excoriating the white man to report what your compadres have been up to in Africa for a millennium and a half? Didn’t think so.

The Pope is a MONUMENTAL DISGRACE ….. Robert.. U are so right and as usual very incisive.. very great piece.. Many of my friends ask me as to where I get all my news in regards to jehaad as most of them have become used to the lies of the mainstream… Thank God for JW and its phenomenal research.

Lydia Church says
Islam is violent.
He denies all things true by denying that.
Philip McDonald says
Brutal. Message to Muslims – You belong to your father, Satan, and you want to carry out your father’s desires. From the start he was a murderer, and he has never stood by the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he tells a lie, he is speaking in character; because he is a liar — indeed, the inventor of the lie!
Eur says
Satan does not exist, it is a human invention. The only ones responsible for the barbarities are the Muslims themselves. We do not have to blame Satan … not even radical imams. Muslims want to hear that kind of discourse because in the end Islam gives a message of supremacism, it tells them that they are the elect, the pure … like the barbarity of the orthodox Jews who call us goyim to non-Jews. Islam is a fascist shit, Judaism (orthodox) is a fascist shit … The difference is that there are hundreds of millions of Muslims and that their prophet was a disgusting pedophile, murderer, slaver, thief, rapist, military and political leader. Muslims, you love your prophet? Mohammed was a murderer… and you have to know it, weak up.
WPM says
Orthodox Jews do not have their children grow up to be suicide bombers ! The do not have non Jews paid them extortion money, keep them from building churches or keep Christians from practicing their faith . They do not conquer the non Jewish land ,rape non Jewish women ,honor kill their own daughters. Calling us non Jews goyim is not on the same level as ,rape ,thief ,murder , and mayhem which as per the Koran is what Islam is about.
Kay says
Exactly

What grotesque false moral equivalence. Where are Jews slaughtering Gentiles? Of course, they aren’t.
Would that we could say this about Muslims and unbelievers…

Nigeria: Muslims murder Christian woman’s baby, rape and impregnate her for refusing to convert to Islam

This poor woman and her little baby! I’m so glad she was able to escape.
The simple words of her small son Zachary are one of the most Christian things I have ever heard. I hope Christopher–a wonderful name!–grows up to be a good Christian man despite the conditions of his conception–something these Muslim barbarians could never understand.

Amen. I pray for this woman. She has endured much, including our pope. He may as well be Teddy Kennedy.

That poor woman. She was kicked to the curb by the ‘shepherd’ who was supposed to look after her in favor of the wolves… I can’t stand this pope. He is the reason i am not attending church.
I was raised Catholic and was very involved. No longer.
This pope is destroying the church. .He grew up in Argentina, and no doubt he was raised in the Peronista style of Communism.He’s weakening the church in favor of statism.
I keep hoping G-d calls him home… but I don’t think so… Perhaps they’ll be a place in hell for him..
peter says
Pope Francis is one of the greatest idiots in my humbbe opion who ever ever became a papa. No offence meant to any catholics .
Alain Lenferna de la Motte says
It is difficult to argue against Robert Spencer’s opinion, based on what we hear from this Pope about the existence of a so called ‘authentic’ Islam. Islam is a supremacist religion and ideology that does not tolerate any other religion or anyone who adheres to any other religion other than Islam. For Islam, all non-Muslims are Kuffars/Kafirs and are the worst of creatures, while all Muslims are the best of peoples. Surely Pope Francis cannot be ignorant of this fact. It is well documented in the Qur’an, ahadith and in Islamic law and is there for all to see.
s says
after his subsequent meeting with a world leader… this communist pope began talking of “saving the planet” and carbon footprints… the reality: he was announcing to the world he is in league with the devil…. all he has promoted and done since that time exemplifies his hatred and his arrogance and his false poverty pride… no Catholic should adhere to his dictates… for his dictates are laced with the devils arsenic.
