Ramadan in Niger: Muslims murder 10 people with jihad suicide bombings at rival mosque

Jun 5, 2018 10:54 am By Robert Spencer

Ramadan is the month during which Muslims redouble their efforts to please Allah. And Allah commands Muslims to kill and be killed in his cause, promising them Paradise if they do so: “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)

“Suicide bombers kill 10 in attack on mosque in southeastern Niger,” Reuters, June 5, 2018 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):

NIAMEY (Reuters) – Three suicide bombers killed 10 people at a mosque in Niger’s southeastern city of Diffa who had gathered after breaking the Ramadan fast, an army spokesman said on Tuesday.

The area around Diffa, close to Lake Chad and the borders with Nigeria, Chad and Cameroon, is a stronghold for two factions of militant group Boko Haram, which have been fighting to establish an Islamic state in the region.

“It was last night that these three people exploded their charges during a religious service,” the spokesman said. He later said the three bombers were female….

    Aaaah the peace of Allah that Muslims enjoy in dar-es-salaam, how utopian, how generous of them to share it with others

    The destruction of rival mosques is perfectly Islamic, since Muhammad himself ordered a rival mosque to be destroyed.The event is described in the Qur’an, in verses 9:108-110.These verses refer to the gutting of a rival mosque on Muhammad’s instruction when he was returning after his expedition to Tabuk in the Syrian-Byzantine territory.
    Proceeding from Tabuk on his way back to Medina, Muhammad halted at Dhu Awan at Quba, an hour’s journey from Medina. There, an opposition Muslim group had built a mosque. Previously, while Muhammad was making preparations for the march to Tabuk, this group of Muslims approached him and said, “O Messenger of God, we have built a mosque for the sick and needy and for rainy and cold nights, and we would like you to visit us and pray for us.” (Tabari, vol.ix, p.61). As Muhammad was too busy with his preparations for the Tabuk expedition, he excused himself from visiting this newly-built mosque but assured the dissident group that he would call on their mosque while returning to Medina.
    When Muhammad halted at Dhu Awan, he accused its builders of being unjust and sent a band of followers to burn and destroy the freshly constructed mosque. He said to his followers, “Go to this mosque whose owners are unjust people and destroy and burn it.” (Tabari, vol.ix, p.61). They entered the bustling mosque and set fire to it when it was filled with people assembled for the evening prayer. The worshippers dispersed in utter terror. Allah promptly sent down verse 9:107, 110, justifying the destruction of opposition mosques. To further validate his gutting of this mosque, Muhammad concocted the story that he suspected that the builders of the ‘Mosque of Dissent’ were planning to assassinate him.
    Then he extolled the virtue of the first mosque (known as Masjid Takwa) that was built by him at Quba when he migrated to Medina and where he had asked his followers to pray. This instruction is written in the Qur’an in verses 9:108-110
    “And there are those who put up a mosque by way of mischief and infidelity – to disunite the Believers – and in preparation for one who warred against Allah and His Messenger aforetime. They will indeed swear that their intention is nothing but good; But Allah doth declare that they are certainly liars.
    Never stand thou forth therein. There is a mosque whose foundation was laid from the first day on piety; it is more worthy of the standing forth (for prayer) therein. In it are men who love to be purified; and Allah loveth those who make themselves pure.
    Which then is best? – he that layeth his foundation on piety to Allah and His good pleasure? – or he that layeth his foundation on an undermined sand-cliff ready to crumble to pieces? and it doth crumble to pieces with him, into the fire of Hell. And Allah guideth not people that do wrong.
    The foundation of those who so build is never free from suspicion and shakiness in their hearts, until their hearts are cut to pieces. And Allah is All-Knowing, Wise.”
    (Quran 9:107-110)
    These verses, when taken in true Islamic spirit, call for the devastation of rival mosques. The most important question is: which mosques are genuinely Islamic and which mosques are not so Islamic? Since there is no central authority in Islam to decide on this, it naturally becomes a moot-point, to say the least. It is therefore, a free-market in Islam when it comes to destruction and bloodshed. Thus, Sunnis are free to destroy Shia mosques; the Shias are permitted to destroy Sunni mosques; both these groups are free to destroy Ahmedi or Kurdish mosques and so on. Within each group there are sub-groups and they are also entitled to commit such depravities on other groups. This is exactly what is going on in almost all Islamic Paradises. In Iraq, Sunnis are destroying Shia mosques and murdering them. In Pakistan, Sunnis are killing the Shias and burning their mosques. Then the Shias are avenging this by destroying Sunni mosques. In Bangladesh, both the Sunnis and the Shias are occupying Ahmedi mosques and setting them on fire. This musical chair of mosque-burning and killing is proceeding unabated, each groups claiming they are the true Muslims! Each group is adamant they are absolutely following the Qur’an and Sunna (Muhammad’s deeds and examples), the two principal sources of Islam.

    It’s not easy being a Muslim, is it?
