As ever, in every place where it manifests itself, jihad is an impediment to human progress.
“At least 12 killed, 14 wounded in Mozambique jihadist attacks: source,” News24, September 21, 2018 (thanks to Steven):
Twelve villagers were killed and 14 injured in an attack by suspected jihadists on a village in a gas-rich region of northern Mozambique, a local source told AFP on Friday.
Since October, the southeast African country’s golden vision to exploit its gas reserves has been thrown into doubt by an explosion of bloodthirsty assaults in the region where the industry plans to base its hub.
“Ten people killed were shot by firearms and two burnt (to death) after 55 houses were charred. A person was beheaded after being shot dead” in the northern village of Paqueue late Thursday, said the source….

Infuriating.

90,000 Christians are killed by Muslims every year, because Muslims hate Christians.
Another 10,000 Christians are killed by communist countries and Hindu fanatics in India.

Where do you get your figures about “Hindu fanatics “. This is a website dedicated to publicising and analysing jihad and its impact. What is the reason for saying that tens of thousands of Christians are killed in India ?
What is your source? Where is your evidence ?
Your comment is a disgrace!

The persecution of Christians in India increased sharply in the year 2016, according to a report by Open Doors.[18] India was ranked 15th in the word in terms of danger to Christians, up from 31st four years earlier. According to the report, it is estimated that a church was burnt down or a cleric beaten on average 10 times a week in India in the year to 31 October 2016, a threefold increase on the previous year.[18] According to the All India Christian Council, there was an attack on Christians recorded every 40 hours in India in 2016.[19] There were 26 documented cases of violence against Christians in the country between January and March 2016, while the central government refrained from speaking out against it.[20] There were incidents of anti-Christian violence in Uttar Pradesh and Rajasthan around Christmas in December 2016.
From wikipedia. That isn’t tens of thousands of deaths, but it is indicative. Violent fanaticism is not limited to muslims. The comment did not say that tens of thousands of Christians are killed in India – it said communists countries and Hindu fanatics.

I’ve been reading about other atrocities across the African continent and for the life of me, I can’t understand why African minorities (or just the regular peoples of Africa) are so unbelievably helpless and vulnerable. Why is this? I can understand not being able to guard against suicide attacks in the Middle East or around the world in general–because you can’t really predict or guard against it. But why in the world are villages that are seeing attack after attack not doing something about it among their own ranks? I would appreciate honest and thoughtful replies. Thanks 🙂

It is because of the pacifistic doctrines of the New Testament. Christians think they will go to hell if they go to war or even simply kill any Muslim who attacks them, the whole “be a martyr for Jesus” is what rules the Christian world of today, and why hundreds of millions of victims of Islam continues to pile up as it always has without any serious threat of being stopped since Christians refuse the idea of war and killing thinking it is a sin. This is why I am going to hell actually, was a Christian for 30 years, finally rejected the disgusting concept of Christian pacifism, turn the other cheek bs. Verse in the Bible says I am going to hell for this because “he who sins willfully after receiving the knowledge of the truth, there remains no more sacrifice for their sins”. That is me. As much as I believed in Jesus I will continue to sin willfully against him and his pacifistic commands and the bible says the sacrifice for my sins no longer remains because of this. I accept this, but I can never change my beliefs on the vileness of pacifism, so I know I am going to hell since I know it is impossible for me to repent of my beliefs and willful sinning since it is wilful sinning that I reject the pacifist commands of the New testament.

Hi Robert.
OT
a 22 year old named neshat Sankat breached the Orlando airport and tried twice to get in the cock pit before they took him down. he also has a commercia flying license.
Please see CNN for more info. I thought this is very important though the authorities are saying they do not know what the motive is/was. The name neshat in Farsi means happiness so I am assuming he is a Muslim though not 100% but 99%. M
Cicero says
No he is not a Muslim . He is an Indo Trinidadian. Possibly Christian .or Hindu. Maybe an Islamic convert
Very definitely a spoilt brat !
Mac-101 says
With Mozambique slightly less than 20% Muslim it is surprising we do don’t read of more of these attacks there!

Follow the money on this one. China is in a mad dash to lock up long term concessions and access to minerals and agriculture land in Africa. What better way to get non-china competitors to throw in the towel and leave? Just smuggle in some AK and RPG parts into the already run Chinese ports, pay off some low wage government bimbo to look the other way, and you have a ready made insurgency. Just keep the useful idiots away by paying them off when the Chicoms take over the mining and drilling contracts.
In the long run, we will see how that little ploy works. The west will probably find out the hard way it was not a good idea to do the following:
1. Let in millions of unvetted invaders from certain countries
2. Let the Chicoms run our sea ports, airports, and other critical infrastructure
Steven RSA says
I think this one is a result of advancing Jihad, from Tanzania. Rural Mozambique already has no shortage of weapons left over from years of war; no need for anyone to bother shipping in more. The Chinese have for years been mining and building roads and football stadiums in Mozambique, so already have a great foothold. Currently they are the lesser of the two evils, Chinese colonization and Islam.
Mac-101 says
I wonder if the Red Chinese keep these Muslims in line by offering a large bounty for their eradication for these acts of terrorism in Moszambique?
gravenimage says
I think Muslims there are murderously violent toward Infidels all on their own. I am *no* fan of Communist China, but I don’t see their hand in this Jihad.
Mac-101 says
I was speculating that the Chinese are totally ruthless with their own people and never let anything git in the way of “Business”. So I waswondering if any Jihadist act up and create waves in their Areas of Operations that the Chi-Coms would NOT offer extensive rewards for their eradication using extra judiciary means.
Steven RSA says
Mozambique, especially the area bordering the Kruger Park (Parque Nacional do Limpopo) is also a conduit and operational area for rhino horn and other illegal animal products to be poached and smuggled, as well as for illegally mined gold and other minerals from South Africa, Zimbabwe and other countries. I’d guess proceeds of these illegal products find their way into jihadist pockets to some extent too. Certainly Chinese criminal organisations are involved in this trade too, including abalone from South Africa. Hopefully these organisations run into each other in the bush, and large and deadly gunfights ensue.

Another story of yet more added to the hundreds of MILLIONS of victims of Muslims that will be all but forgotten in less than one week. Only the disgusting doctrine of Christian pacifism and the criminalization of any Christian who dares defy the pacifist lie and uses violence allows the evils of Muslims to keep spreading and spreading and spreading the last 1400 years. Any Christian who is a pacifist will die or be enslaved or abused, any Christian who rejects pacifism and uses violence to attack the wicked will be imprisoned. Satan rules this world because of the pacifism of Christianity.
