Nigeria: Kidnapped girl who refused her captors’ demands to convert to Islam pleads for help

Aug 30, 2018 1:34 pm By Robert Spencer

“Leah Sharibu was abducted from a hostel with more than 100 other school girls but is allegedly the only one still held by the terrorists because she refused to renounce her Christian faith and convert to Islam.”

And no one will take much notice. But just imagine the international outcry if she had been a Muslim girl kidnapped by Christians who demanded she convert to Christianity. Such things, of course, do not happen.

“Kidnapped Nigerian Girl Who Refused To Renounce Her Christian Faith Pleads For Help,” by Kassy Dillon, Daily Wire, August 29, 2018:

A 15-year-old Nigerian girl who was kidnapped in February by one of the world’s deadliest terrorist organizations, Boko Haram, reportedly called on her government to save her in a new 35-second audio recording, according to local outlets CBS News reports.

Leah Sharibu was abducted from a hostel with more than 100 other school girls but is allegedly the only one still held by the terrorists because she refused to renounce her Christian faith and convert to Islam.

The unverified recording, accompanied with a picture of her in a hijab and sitting on a mat, was reportedly sent to local media on Monday and features Leah pleading for help in the Hausa language. “I plead with… the government and the president to have pity for me and save me from my situation,” she said faltering, leaving some to believe that she was reading something prepared for her.

If the audio is authentic, this would be the first evidence proving she is alive since she was kidnapped.

“It really is her voice,” Nathan Shairbu, Leah’s father, told BBC Pidgin. “Before, I thought she wasn’t even alive.”

“I’m really encouraged that I heard the words of my favourite daughter,” Nathan added….

    Take advice from a old Buddhist monk – if they come and threaten to kill you unless you convert to Islam, convert. It’s not wise to lose good human life over something as stupid as this. And as soon as they’re gone and you’re safe, convert back.

        The Musims NEVER leave unless they are forced out. That is just historical fact.

      I can tell you that and old buddhist monk told me something quite different. Back in oh, say 1977 or so, we were in his home, and he asked me about the jewish muslim problem. I gave him what I thought was what he’d like for me to speak… a zen like answer about working together and all, and I asked him what he thought about the jewish, muslim problem. His answer was something that was totally unexpected.
      He smiled a terribly forgiving smile and said quietly, this old wise brilliant monk: ‘Islam is a devil’s religion’.

      uh huh. Back in India, when the muslims came, they arrived at the greatest university of it’s time, at Nalanda. There were thousands of monks there, and tens of thousands of buddhist citizens also studying there. The muslims arrived and announced that everyone had to convert or else. The Buddhists offered to give them the entirety of their University, their city, their state, ,and all they wished to do was to practice their religion in peace, no longer the owners.
      The muslim invaders gave them the only offer: convert or die.
      And that’s what happened. Monks impaled on staffs etc, the buddhists who survived had to run for their lives.

      No, NEVER do that, take the advice from JESUS, who is God Himself incarnate and no one else is.
      HE said you can never renounce your faith in Him no matter what, publicly or not.
      Matthew 10; 32-33.
      You may gain a pleasurable earthly existence as a human life, but you will lose true life in heaven and your soul. It’s soooo not worth it!!! But you must weigh what is more valuable to you, what you will lose anyway, or what you will lose forever.
      See comment above also.
      That is just part of discipleship and carrying our cross as Christians.
      When one reads the Bible it all makes sense.

      All wise sages agree…..

        Lydia Church: What about the Apostle Peter? Didn’t he deny Jesus, not once, but 3 times? Yet, Jesus forgave him as Jesus knows we are fallible human beings. We make mistakes. I have known people who have turned away from their faith at one point in their lives then later returned much stronger and on fire for the Lord Jesus. Jesus said that we can be forgiven for ANYTHING except Blasphemy of the Holy Spirit which is saying the works of the Spirit are from the devil. So if Jesus said this, why should we say anything different? I pray that I will be strong in my faith IF I have to make the decision of life or death. Do you know if you will be if facing this or watching your family die first? You pray you will be, but do you know for sure? We don’t. I have read of many Muslim converts to Christianity that still must got to the Mosque and “pretend” to be a good Muslim. Inside they are praying to Jesus, but on the outside it looks like they are praying to Allah. Just because you say the words to convert, doesn’t mean your heart and mind are doing it.

    “And she is forced to wear the Hijab”

    But, according to one of the following article’s Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada Muslima twits (women who are protected by Canadian law, BTW):

    “No one else can force you to wear it.”

    “They can tell me to wear it, but I can say yes or no”

    “It’s kind of like a misconception that wearing a hijab is forced upon you, that it means oppression,’ Azam said. “We’re trying to show it’s more freedom, it’s more expression, and empowerment for women.”

    Rather imagine Leah Sharibu recognizes that nonsense for what it is: pure nonsense.

      Right, tell that to the young grade seven student who lived in my neighbourhood in my quiet small Canadian town north of Toronto. Her father tried to stab her to death a few years ago for refusing to wear the hijab to school
      Fortunately, she survived, and he ended up in jail for attempted murder. Otherwise it would have been just another ‘honour killing’.
      Nearly ALL of the young Muslim girls in western countries would stop wearing the hijab if their families wouldn’t force them to wear it!

    “They never have to do their hair, and I was envious of that fact — they never have bad hair days,” she said with a laugh.

    Wasn’t so funny for this dead teen because she simply chose NOT to wear her comical hijab:

    These Ignorant boko haram rascals think that by keeping this Christian girl hostage, they could get support from Muslim populace. Contrary to that Nigerian muslims hate Boko Haram more because they know that Boko Haram rascals are not fighting valid jihad, they are just criminals. One muslim boy at Refugee school for boko haram victims said when he finishes his school he will join Nigerian Army for him to kill not less than 1000 boko haram terrorists. It is telling

      The dishonest ibrahim itace muhammed wrote:

      …………………………….

      Ibrahim itace muhammed has never mentioned a single point where he ideologically disagrees with Boko Haram or any other Jihad terror group. In fact, he has *affirmed* that Muslims have the right to kidnap, rape, and keep Infidel girls as sex slaves captured in Jihad raids, as well as to kill anyone who does not submit to Islam. He has never said why what Boko Haram is doing is not a “valid Jihad”, which would entail just the same abduction, rape, and murder.

      His only real issue with them appears to be that Boko Haram represents a rival Jihad group to his own.

      More:

      One muslim boy at Refugee school for boko haram victims said when he finishes his school hejust will join Nigerian Army for him to kill not less than 1000 boko haram terrorists. It is telling
      …………………………….

      It is only “telling” in that Muslims are always brutalizing not just Infidels, but also other Muslims. That a Muslim wants to go out and slaughter a lot of his coreligonists tells us little except that he is indeed a pious Muslim.

      The grim truth is that Boko Haram has a fair amount of support from local Muslims. And why wouldn’t they? They have vowed to allow even stricter Sharii’ah law–something the local Muslims have already be imposed in northern states. But pious Muslims, as always, want more.

      And Nigeria’s Muslim leader Muhammadu Buhari has done little to oppose Boko Haram. And why would he? He adheres to the same vicious creed that they do.

      He even claimed that Boko Haram is no longer a threat, and that Nigeria was in a insisted the situation was in “a post-conflict stabilisation phase”. Tell Leah Sharibu that…

Boko haram like other terrorist keep their victims in a hidden place.Not long ago Nigerian Govt ordered the purchase of some sophiscated war planes with survelance cameras from your evil United States to identify boko hide outs, yet to be delivered. Tell savage mad devil Trump to hasten the delivery of such war planes,you will see action and the girl will be rescued with safety.

        ……………………………

        Notice that Ibrahim itace muhammed refers to a single girl here–presumably he is fine with Boko Haram continuing to hold and rape the poor girls pressured into converted to his own foul creed. And why not? This is perfectly Islamic.

        And Nigeria rejected an offer from the British government to rescue the abducted Chibok girls, many of whom are *still* being raped by Boko Haram Jihadists. If the government was serious about seeing these girls rescued, they would have taken them up on it.

        And the US has likewise long been providing Nigeria aid for fighting Boko Haram–despite Nigeria continuing to claim that they have already been defeated.

        More:

        ……………………………

        Wait–so the United States is evil for trying to help rescue these girls?

        Notice that whenever Muslims do something appalling, it is–somehow–always the fault of the Kuffar.

        But it seems that Ibrahim itace muhammed is still eager for the filthy Infidels to deliver military equipment to Muslims.

        As for those planes, the US balked last year after they found that Nigeria was not using existing planes to rescue abducted girls, but to bomb refugee camps–a very Muslim thing to do.

        The Nigerian government has now sworn that they will use the planes to rescue the girls, and the deal seems to be back on.

        Will Buhari finally get around to rescuing these girls? Grimly, I would not hold my breath.
