Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Nigeria: Muslims murder over 30 Christians, set fire to homes and churches, shoot those trying to flee

Mar 1, 2019 12:09 pm By Robert Spencer

The international media will take little notice of this. After all, it isn’t as if something serious such as “Islamophobia” were being committed.

“Muslim Extremists Murder Over 30 Nigerian Christians In Devastating Attack,” by Jacob Airey, Daily Wire, March 1, 2019:

Over 30 Nigerian Christians were killed in a brutal early morning attack by radical Islamic Fulani herdsmen, who have been systematically targeting believers living on lands the extremists claim to be their territory.

The Guardian reports that the deadly assault occurred at around 4 a.m. near the town of Maro, in Kajuru County of Kaduna state, where the attackers set fire to several buildings, including homes and churches. The extremists shot civilians with rifles as they fled the burning establishments.

A member of local church Evangelical Church Winning All (ECWA) told Morning Star News that members “ran out of the church building as the shooting was going on.” She added, “Many have been killed, and I have not seen my family members since morning. I have escaped out of the area.”

Some villagers and local policemen tried to resist the radical Muslim assault but were forced to retreat as the attackers overwhelmed them by sheer numbers and firepower.

Kaduna’s local state government condemned the attack in a statement from Samuel Aruwan, the Senior Special Assistant to the Governor.

“Today, the Kaduna State government was briefed by security agencies of renewed attacks in Kajuru Local Government Area, and in parts of neighboring Kachia Local Government Area,” he said. “The state government has been assured that the security agencies are working assiduously to contain the situation. The government is saddened by these attacks, condemns the perpetrators and urges all residents of the area to support the security agencies in their efforts to protect communities.”

The violence was so severe that a nearby boarding school administered by the Evangelical Missionary Society (EMS) evacuated to protect the children….

      The inhumanity of Islam is very disturbing.

    Those violent and vicious jihad –minded Muslims in their murderous persecution of Christians aren’t really going to get away with their destruction of Christians. As the apostle Paul had written each individual Christian is actually, in the View of God, a temple of God. For to Christians, it is written in the Bible “Don’t you know that that you yourselves are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit dwells in your midst? If anyone destroys God’s Temple, God will destroy that person; for God’s temple is sacred, and you together are that temple.” First Corinthians 3:16,17. [N.I.V.] As in “A man reaps what he sows.” Galatians 6:7.

    Everywhere islam is, everywhere moslims are, there is mass murder, rape and mayhem. They have no reason to stop what they want to do…slaughter until there is no targets left to victimize. It is truly demonic inspiration, but they kill willingly for their fake god and false prophet and wild beast.
    moslims are trying to commit complete genocide of all who refuse to bow to the beast.

    It appears that these Christians may have forgotten to offer the Muslim a coke. ( Sorry).

    And that another homoerotic summit may be in order. ( Not sorry)

    Christians are caught in a decades long global Genocide in Muslim countries.
    While a Traitor Pope and his ilk bleat the need for interfaith-dialogue.
    And they wonder why the churches are emptying.

      The US has been funding anti-terrorism in Nigeria.

      But the president there is a Muslim, and I doubt the government is going to do anything to stop their pious coreligionists from murdering Christians.

      Well, you must not have heard all the sweet, nice things, that Trump had to say to the Nigerian president. We sell them weapons and all kinds of things, don’t ya know? Well, I’ll let read for yourself, what Trump says about how wonderful he is, and how he’s such a great buddy…here: (I mean, Trump DID invite him into the White House, since he’s such a great guy!)

        Our only choices are funding fighting terrorism through official channels–which means the Nigerian government–pulling all funding and giving up on doing any good there, or invading. None of these are good options.

      Trump probably told the news people not to write anything bad about his best buddy, who he invited into the White House, and is SUCH a good friend with!

      And I’m sure you’ve see my comment, where Trump said all kinds of sweet things, to the MANY muslims we have in this country? It’s such a sweet speech to them, and Trump was so proud of it, that it’s posted on the White House dot GOV webpage TOO! (need the link?)

        The idea that the American president has control over all the American press is mistaken. Were this the case, why is there so press that is critical of him?

        And if he wanted to hide violence in Nigeria, then why has the president himself spoken out against Boko Haram?

        He said, “We have had very serious problems with Christians who are being murdered in Nigeria. “We are going to be working on that problem very, very hard because we cannot allow that to happen.”

        Why would he have said this if he wanted to protect Muslims murdering Christians, and not allow the press to report on them? I’m afraid this makes little sense.

        • joanofark06 says

          Mar 2, 2019 at 11:41 pm

          gravenimage…you really really believe everything anybody tells you, or believe everything you read? That he couldn’t have just maybe….LIED! For one, how long has he been president? And now tell me, how many christians have died in all the time he’s been president? I’ll wait….
          And let’s see if we ever hear any reports how the ones who killed these christians, get arrested, or gets punished in any way, shape, or form. We’ll wait….

          And what I’m gonna wait on, is how his great buddy, Trump, says anything about this. Trump thinks he’s the greatest man alive! He invited him into the White House last year, and had all kinds of nice things to say to this president of Nigeria! It’s on the White House dot GOV website, and if you haven’t seen it yet, let me know! It’s soooo touching!

          Joan, your claim that I am naive and simply believe that President Trump said this when he did not is baseless. Here is the video:

        I know. But Nigeria cannot be fixed at this point. There will be a VERY bloody civil war in a couple of years (it has already started, though nobody wants to admit it) and then the country will be EXACTLY like Somalia.

        • gravenimage says

          Mar 2, 2019 at 11:42 pm

    Did you all hear about Britain now arresting Christian preachers?.

    Listen to this while the one programmed robot calls this Nigerian man “racist” for preaching the Gospel.

    Talk about Orwellian programming…this is it. They throw around “racist” so much it can mean most anything that pisses off a godless Marxist heathen Leftist Sharia dhimmi.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zS7aAbJPZUk

    Of course, Muslims are given loudspeakers.

    Could you imagine what would happen if this cop would have ripped a quran from a Muslim’s hands?

      fredoniahead

      Jesus said that His disciples would be “hated by the world” because it hated Him. Each generation has seen some of that hatred expressed, but this generation is seeing it a hundred-fold. Enough hatred of Christians for anyone to recognize that what Jesus Christ said would happen, is. He told the Truth about this, and everything else He said has already happened, or will shortly.

      • joanofark06 says

        Mar 2, 2019 at 11:25 pm

        Yup, that verse is correct. If you could put the verse number after a verse from the bible, some people might actually open up a bible, just for wanting to see that verse in there! (I can’t remember where that one is, myself! lol). And then, they just MIGHT get interested in reading more! That’s what I do anyway. Like, this verse, I feel has a lot in common with what’s going on today!

        “The alien who is among you shall rise higher and higher and you shall come down lower and lower” (Deuteronomy 28:43).

        I can almost assume, what “alien” God would be talking about, and I’m sure it’s not one from outer space! (Too bad, He didn’t use the word “immigrant” in the place of “alien”!)

        Or this one:

        For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but wanting to have their ears tickled, they will accumulate for themselves teachers in accordance to their own desires, and will turn away their ears from the truth and will turn aside to myths (2 Timothy 4:3-4)

        I can imagine, for one, the Pope not “enduring” the “sound doctrine”! For example, the pope listening to THIS teacher!

    A big election coming up.

    Except that there are very conflicting reports from eyewitnesses.
    ***
    “He said the Muslims and Christians in the community have enjoyed a cordial relationship until of recent, and if at all there was such an incident leading to such number of deaths as postulated by the governor, his Fulani friends who had found shelter at his residence when the incident happened would have briefed him.

    He said: “I have a good relationship with the Fulanis, we do Christmas together, we do Sallah together.”

    “After our investigation, those that murdered the 11 persons are Fulani herdsmen, they were about 10 of them. We had some of their sticks, the police division went with the sticks. All of them (police) confirmed that it was Fulani herdsmen that carried out the killings.”
    ***
    “He however insisted that the Adara’s were responsible for the attack. He said “Adara are responsible for the killings. Between man and God, Adara are behind the killings. It happened early in the morning before some of us could even perform the morning prayers. Those that could run, took to their heels and those that couldn’t, had their heads cut off.”
    ***
    “He conducted the Mass for the burial of 11 Adara’s which included a pregnant woman and an aged blind mother of 90. While confirming that indeed there were killings on the midnight of Sunday, February 10 and the early hours of Monday, the cleric debunked the governor’s claims of 66 persons, which rose to 131 within four days.”

    ***
    So no-one actually saw them but later found the sticks which indicated Fulani.
    No-one could have planted the sticks to cause a problem of course.
