The international media is reporting this as a “clash” between Muslims and Christians. Reality is, as is so often the case, quite different.
“Dozens of Christians Killed in Muslim Attack on Market in Kaduna State, Nigeria,” Morning Star News, October 22, 2018:
Nigeria (Morning Star News) – Muslims attacked a market in Kaduna state, in north-central Nigeria, on Thursday (Oct. 18), killing dozens of Christians and burning a church building, sources said.
Area residents said a Muslim at the market in Kasuwan Magani, 36 kilometers (22 miles) south of the city of Kaduna, began yelling “Thief!” in the late afternoon in a move calculated to cause pandemonium ahead of an attack on Christians and their homes and businesses.
“A Muslim raised a false alarm about a thief in the market, which caused stampede, and then other Muslims started chanting ‘Allahu Akbar [the jihadist slogan, God is Greater],’ attacking Christians, burning houses and shops belonging to Christians in the town,” area resident Kefas Mallam told Morning Star News.
The Rev. James Moore of the town’s Evangelical Church Winning All (ECWA), told Morning Star News that the assailants burned down one church building belonging to the Cherubim and Seraphim movement.
“There was an alert of a thief in the market,” he said. “When people heard ‘Thief! Thief!’ they were confused and started running. Unknown to the people, it was a strategy by the Muslim youth to attack the people. They went into killings, looting and burning.”
Moore, who is the area district secretary of the ECWA, said it was difficult to give a definitive casualty figure as the town was in complete lockdown following imposition of a 24-hour curfew the night of the attack. Kaduna Gov. Nasir El-Rufai visited the site in the Kajuru Local Government Area on Friday (Oct. 19) and said 55 people had been killed.
“According to what the police have briefed me so far, 55 corpses have been recovered; some burned beyond recognition,” he said.
Local press reported the violence began as an attack by young men attacking the market that escalated into a clash between “two youth groups of different religion.”…
Area Muslims also attacked Christians on Feb. 26. Luke Waziri, a Christian community leader in Kasuwan Magani, told Morning Star News by phone that during the February attack, 12 Christians were killed.
“And 67 other Christians arrested after that incident are currently facing trial in a court in the city of Kaduna,” he added, lamenting that they were detained without cause by police under the direct control of a Muslim inspector general of police and a Muslim police commissioner.
“The sad thing is that the police are aware that Muslims in Kasuwan Magani have accumulated weapons with the intent to continually attack us, but they are unable to arrest these Muslims,” Waziri said….

Nigeria: Muslims screaming “Allahu akbar” murder 55 Christians, burn Christian-owned homes and shops
……………………
Notice that just a Muslim yelling “thief” was a enough to lead to this massacre.
Muslims are always poised to riot and slaughter Infidels.
God, I hate Islam.

Ibrahim itace muhammed says
This is an idiot report relying on the accounts of these dirty and ugly mithraist christian barbarians. It was Christians who launched an attack on Hausa Muslim traders who dominated ‘kasuwan magani(pharmaceutical market) as they did in jos for envy against rich Hausa muslims. Note:these animists now mithraist christians were too primitives living inside caves and on top of mountains before the arrival of British colonial Masters ,they don’t know how to conduct business, they just engage in manual farming.It was Hausa muslims who engage in trade going to south western Nigeria and other parts of Africa importing and exporting goods. so, the competition in business in Nigeria now is between Hausa muslims from the North and Igbo and yorubas in the south,the animists now mithraist christians in the North do not participate,they become envious about wealths in hand of Hausa muslims in the North.Note:the riches man in Africa Aliko Dangote is a Hausa Muslim from kano city. The poor primitive animists now mithraist christians always look for an opportunity to attack Hausa muslims to take away their wealths, especially in the areas where they are dominant like part of kaduna and Jos .Not long ago a plot was uncovered that dirty and ugly Birom mithraist christian planned to annihilate all Hausa muslims and Igbo mithraist christians who control business in jos the biggest commercial center in central Nigeria.

As Ibrahim itace muhammed would have it, Muslims murdering 55 Christians and burning down their homes is–somehow–an attack on Muslims. I guess Christians should have made it easier for Muslims to kill more of them…
And note that much of the trade the Muslim Housa engaged in was slaves.
Ibrahim itace muhammed says
Liar Gravenimage, you don’t know anything about Hausa muslims in Nigeria and west Africa. They are hardworking to creat wealths. Slavery no longer exists among Hausa muslims,it was past practice. It means you never have any contact with Hausa Muslim businessmen in your evil United States, a Hausa Muslim is the best car designer at General Motors. check there
FYI says
A shame you savagely Godless muslims don’t read that book that allah says he wrote;
No,no,not the ‘holy’ koran.
THIS book that allah says he wrote{koran 3:3}….
“We bestowed on Jesus the Gospel wherein are guidance and light,confirming that which was revealed before it in the Torah-a guidance and an admonition unto those who WARD OFF EVIL”
koran 5 v 46
“Let the people of the Gospel judge by that which allah hath revealed therein.Whoso judgeth not by that which allah hath revealed;such are evil-livers”
koran 5 v 47
allah is OK with the Torah and the Gospel….and the “people of the Gospel”….in fact allah tells muhammed in k10:94 that if in doubt,he should consult those familiar with “The scripture that was BEFORE”{The Bible}
See if you muslims can follow allah’s advice and find Exodus 20:even more challenging,see if you obey even ONE of them:DO TRY.
See if you explain :what right do you have to attack “The People of the Gospel”??
The Nigerian Christians, we see, are innocent and are being massacred by the Godless hate-filled,demonic,savages of islam with their false god allah,and false psychopath “prophet” muhammed and ‘holy’ book of hate:it is doubtful these murderous savages of islam have even read the koran!They probably wouldn’t get the IRONY either:their “prophet” muhammed was a buyer,seller and owner of black slaves{sahih muslim 3901}
Jews and Christians understand the importance of at least striving to OBEY God’s Laws.
muslims clearly don’t but then they have “allah the best of deceivers”k3:54 to misguide them.
The Bible{OT and NT] preaches Love and OBEDIENCE to God’s Exodus 20 laws
And there are TWO chief Commandments{Love of God,Love of fellow man}
The koran preaches Hatred and DISOBEDIENCE to God’s Exodus 20 Laws.
And there are NO TWO chief commandments{no Love of God,no Golden rule,no Love thy neighbor:nothing but HATE}In fact allah preaches the OPPOSITE to the 2nd chief commandment in k5:51
islam:savage and Godless,a murder cult in the service,not of the Actual Biblical God,but of allah hu-bAAL
It is obvious you prefer the evil to the morally good and the dark to the light.Your “allah”,by the way does not even guarantee you muslims salvation{koran 4:18}

Slavery is certainly not a “past practice” for many Muslims. In face, Ibrahim itace muhammed has said that Muslims have the right to enslave Infidels.
As for car design, Ibrahim itace muhammed is no doubt referring to Jelani Aliyu.
Of course, he studied autopmobile design in the United States, not in any Muslim country.
He was one of many designers at General Motors. He’s no longer with them now. He’s back in Nigeria, trying to develop an auto industry there. I wish him luck–he’s going to need it…
Most of his fellow Housa Muslims in Nigeria are too busy murdering Christians, Open Doors ranked Nigeria the most dangerous place in the world for Christians, which is just how Ibrahim itace muhammed likes it.
SK says
Mr. Itace, I don’t believe that you are telling the truth. I do believe that you just say this because you don’t like Christianity or Christians.
If you want me to pay attention to your replies you need to honestly explain what these Birom, Igbo, and Yoruba Christians have plotted. What did they plan?
I don’t know what the business relations between the Hausa and the Christian communities in northern Nigeria are, but I don’t believe that you are telling the truth about these imaginary plots against Hausa in Kaduna and Jos. I need evidence for that.
I also don’t see any reason to believe that this incident is in any way an attack upon Muslims. If you know anyone who was there, you should’ve asked them if they knew anyone who was part of the incident.
(Muslim Fulani herdsmen have caused evil mass murders against these communities in the North who are “simple farmers” for years. They have attacked innocent people’s houses (with rocket launchers), churches, seminaries, and for me that blows complaints about their farming out of relevance for me since they are not being allowed to farm.)
Ibrahim itace muhammed says
Sk, I did not say Igbo and Yorubas participated in the plot,it was dirty dirty and ugly Birom mithraist christians. In fact the plot is to eliminate Hausa muslims and Igbo mithraist christians who control business in jos. Biroms and Igbo mithraist christians hate each other from the wound of the civil led by a Christian military leader Jack Yakubu Gowon from plateau state against Igbo secessionists led by odumegu ojukwu. majority of Yorubas, over 70%, are Muslims, but they have clashes with Hausa muslims because Hausa muslims are dominating business in the south western Nigeria owned by Yorubas. so, the conflicts in Nigeria are tribal and economic, not religious as mischiefmaker mithraist christian Association of Nigeria portray it. The conflict between Nomadic Fulani cattle rearers and farmers, majority of whom are Hausa muslims ,are over grazing right.
johnnybigtime says
Islam is a Satanic religion which is directly opposed to the teachings of the Bible.
The Bible was written over a period of 1700 years, and was a completed book hundreds of years before Satan invented Islam, in order to oppose and refute the Bible.
Due to its Satanic origin, the Koran is diametrically opposed to all Scripture; teaching its followers to maim, mutilate, murder and rape other people.
The Bible, however, teaches its followers to love other people as themselves; “Love does no harm to a neighbour, therefore it is the fulfilment of the law” (Romans 13:10)
The Ten Commandments state clearly, “Thou shalt not kill” (Exodus 20)
Unbelievers (all Muslims) and murderers (some Muslims), plus whoremongers (Muslim rapists), idolaters (all Muslims), and liars; shall have their portion in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone; which is the second death (Revelation 21).
I believe in free speech, as long as people do not advocate harming other people.
However, as far as I am aware, the Muslim religion is the only one which advocates harming other people. Therefore, it should be banned off the face of the Earth.
The Koran opposes all the teachings of Scripture in order to appeal to mans base instincts which lead people into Hell.
Unfortunately, most politicians remain Godless and gutless, while the world descends into a Muslim Hell on Earth. How Satan must be laughing at us!
Karl Marx was a Satanist, whose real goal wasn’t socialism, it was to to ruin Mankind; just like the Koran.
Marx used to write Satanic poems.
“Thus heaven I’ve forfeited, I know it full well.
My soul once true to God is now chosen for hell”.
“I called the devil and he came, His face with wonder I must scan; He is not ugly; he is not lame, Muhammad is a delightful charming man.
While for us both, the abyss yawns in darkness.
The hellish vapours then begin to rise and fill the brain.
You will sink down and I shall follow laughing,
whispering in your ear, “descend, come with me my ‘Muslim’ friend'”
SK says
Oh, you replied.
I see that you are saying that Berom, Igbo, and Yoruba aren’t really together as a side. Okay. I still need answers for the following two questions.
1) What plot is supposedly being plotted by the Berom? You’re telling me that they are planning to murder and eliminate ethnic groups (Hausa and Igbo) that compete with them in business.
How about these conflicts between Christian Yoruba and Igbo versus Muslim Hausa?
2) Are these clashes in business between Hausa and Igbo violent, with fist or weapon? Are they angry words yelled between two people?
The problem with the Fulani is that, while I understand that the ethnic cleansing that they are doing started with not being allowed to let their cows and bulls graze, this conflict escalated into evil attacks on Christian churches, seminaries, and attempting to abduct a pastor. Given the other things that they do against the tribes that farm, I suspect that the conflict has gained a religious element, meaning that the Fulani herdsmen conflict has tribal, economic, and religious elements. It’s obviously multifaceted and complex. I don’t think CAN is as mischievous as you say when they suspect it to be partially religious.
Yes, it begins with grazing rights, but what does it end with?

Again, Ibrahim itace muhammed is claiming that Muslims murdering 55 Christians is–somehow–actually a Christian plot to eliminate all Muslims.
Projection, anyone?
SK says
@GI, he is now discussing his thing about how there was a plot unrelated to this incident to ethnically cleanse/murder Hausa businessmen or something.
It’s a slightly different topic, but I want to hear it.

Ibrahim lies by OMISSION … that is called KITMAN and TAWRIYYA.
Ibrahim omits and distorts the reality that ISLAM PREACHES SACRED WARFARE FOR THE GENOCIDAL DESTRUCTION of disbelievers.
Ibrahim is a GENOCIDIST … one who loves and promotes the evilest of all crimes.
IBRAHIM, did you know that you are promoting the EVILEST OF CRIMES? Do you even care? Or are you an uncivilized, savage barbarian?
Joss says
Ibrahim – just what do you do for a living, other than concoct wild lies?

Ibrahim itace muhammed himself has said he looks forward to taking part in the genocide of the Jews.

Not Bloody Likely
Joe says
There is no such thing as “mitharist Christian” except inside your head. Mitharism has been dead for more than a thousand years. Most Christians don’t even know that Roman god.
Yet you use this hallucination to justify killing innocent people. As long as people are being murdered, you are happy as a lark. Are you Muslim?
mortimer says
Ibrahim is a counter-intellectual and radical OBSCURANTIST who repeats formulas and slogans without doing any evaluation of them. PROFESSIONAL HISTORIANS CLAIM THERE IS NO CONNECTION BETWEEN MITHRAISM and CHRISTIANITY.

It is not a clash between Christians and Muslims. It is a one sided attack from the muslims. They are emulating their beloved warlord Mo (pus be upon him) who attacked unarmed infidels.

ontheridge says
I read on another news site that “Christians kill 55 Muslims”, and I commented that the story was backwards. Christians don’t kill Muslims, Muslims kill, kidnap, rape, burn down homes and crops of Christians. Nice to see the right story here, …. no, not nice,… horrific. Sad, awful.
Thank goodness I live in Canada, … oh maybe not so good any more. I just heard about a lady who commented on Muslims, in the negative, and how she didn’t care for Justine’s politics and views online. Two police cars and four policemen showed up at her door to talk to her and to “make sure she was OK”.

In other news, a Christian failed to move out of the way for a Muslim and has been arrested. His case has been referred to the ICC for prosecution.

Ibrahim, would you mind telling us what you do for a living, other than spout idiot lies about ‘mithraistic Christians’?
gravenimage says
Joss, Ibrahim itace muhammed has claimed that he is retained by some unnamed African Muslim nation as an economic adviser.
Given that he has said that the US dollar is worth $0, and that the reason Muslim countries are so economically stagnant is because Infidels won’t let Muslims enslave them, I think this nation is in a lot of trouble (always assuming he is telling the truth here, of course).
