These incidents are really happening, and they’re happening more and more frequently. In the West, meanwhile, those who speak about them are vilified as “Islamophobes” and steadily defamed, deplatformed, and silenced. Silencing news of such incidents, however, will not prevent them from happening, even, eventually, in the U.S.
“Muslim Fulani Herdsmen Massacre Christians after Baby Dedication in Nigeria,” Morning Star News, April 18, 2019:
JOS, Nigeria (Morning Star News) – Muslim Fulani herdsmen killed 17 Christians who had gathered after a baby dedication at a church in central Nigeria, including the mother of the child, sources said.
Safaratu John Kabiru Ali, the mother of the baby, was slain in the attack on Sunday (April 14) in Konshu-Numa village, in Nasarawa state’s Akwanga County, which also took the lives of people ranging in age from 10 to 80. The baby’s father, John Kabiru Ali, was shot and is in critical condition, sources said. He is receiving treatment at the Intensive Care Unit of the Federal Medical Centre, Keffi, in Nasarawa state.
The attack took place at about 7 p.m. as Christians in the predominantly Christian community gathered to eat after the child was dedicated that morning at the Ruhaniya Baptist Church in the village.
The massacred Christians were buried on Wednesday (April 17) after a funeral service at the Baptist church.
A resident of Akwanga town who lost relatives in the shooting, Jacob Tantse, told Morning Star News that 17 Christians were killed, including 10 members of the Ruhaniya Baptist Church, five members of Evangelical Reformed Church of Christ (ERCC), one member of the Evangelical Church Winning All (ECWA), and a musician playing for guests.
Tantse identified those killed as Ali Nkene, 80; Gode Kako, 13; Afiniki Kako, 10; Matthew Emmanuel, 28; Tafiya Baya, 17; Sarakuna Haruna, 21; Amos Julius, 60; Mary Amos, 40; Sunday Adebayo John, 21; Talatu Mada, 40; Saratu Kabiru John, 21; Justina Barrau, 60; Simon Anfani, 37; Kadon Sule, 20; Ayuba Bulus, 11; Haruna Bawa, 22; and the musician, Samame Andaha, 28.
He also said eight Christians, including the host of the event, John Kabiru Ali, were wounded in the attack.
“They include members of the various congregations of the Baptist, Catholic, and ERCC churches,” Tantse said….

Between 1,000 and 2,000 Christians are murdered in Nigeria each year by Muslims and the world looks the other way. This is a genocidal war directed by Muslims.
Wake up, Leftards. You people will be next after the Muslims have killed Christians and Jews. There will be no one left to defend you.
Raja says
Mortimer,
It is so sad when Islam is having a field day in rest of the world and the West is still cajoling Islam. How can the West be so dumb and numb to the mass murder of fellow humans.
Too much Leftism is the cause of gross injustice, rapes and murders in the name of Islam.
The Left will be paid in full for their acts of commission and omission as God will avenge them.
balafama says
the leftists are cowards as they will readily convert to islam rather than stand up for their values . where have secularists,atheists ,leftists,communists ever fought off an islamic take over ?

There are a lot of secularists here at Jihad Watch–they are not surrendering.
Dan Adams says
Leftist use islam to attack christianity because they believe they can control these wild men.Read Albert Pikes letter which shows how the elite started ww1,ww2,and how they will use muslims to start ww3.
gravenimage says
Oh, good grief. The “Albert Pike” letter is a hoax which dates to *after* the world wars.
Mike H says
I researched both sides of argument seems fake except for one thing: followed his associates by time track research via web old web pages several years ago. Persons associate with him and organization germinating from those associates have to date carried out his plan. Much stuff on Pike including archived news article are now removed. Even those about Masons supporting Slavery. Which I believe was a Masonic future plan against what should have been a Judeo -Christian covenant nation but for Masons blocked it G Washington , Jefferson, Southern Baptist and so many others
Mke H says
World fake news media is to busy talking about non Christian who murdered 57 Muslims in NZ . Hardly any mention in US apostate american churches during or even this easter about the 1000”s of Christians killed, be-headed and hundreds crucified on crosses each year.
kuriakose says
Mike H: so true. Our worst enemies are within. No wonder islam seems to be winning.
John Allan says
I must be an Islamaphobe, then. Awful religion.
The Sanity Inspector says
I frequently look up keywords Christians Attacked on Google’s news aggregator. Most of the results are of Muslim or ultra-nationalist Hindu attacks on Asian and African churches. It’s sad how so few of the stories appear in mainstream Western media outlets, just in the sectarian press or other countries’ local dailies. I’ve noticed that Google has stopped listing even some of these, such as AINA, the Assyrian International News Agency, which does good work collecting such stories.

You can find excellent information on the horrific persecution of Christians going on worldwide at this link: https://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/; you may also follow articles by: “Raymond Ibrahim” who is a prolfic writer on this subject. Please belp spread the word that others may learn. Thanks.

Raymond Ibrahim is also a frequent contributor to Jihad Watch.

Kudos for your acknowledgment of AINA.
Kay says
I can find the strong Christian news sources but no mainstream sources pop up.
It’s immoral of mainstream media to omit this news.
Plus they could easily be charged with racism. Why isn’t it news when Africans are being slaughtered? Moreover at such an innocent joyous event?
Kay says
“this on” not “the strong”
Phone corrected me?

This is the true face of Islam -evil, evil evil and nothing but evil!!

The Religion of Peace
TROP is a non-partisan, fact-based site which examines the ideological threat that Islam poses to human dignity and freedom.
It’s far easier to act as if critics of Islam have a problem with Muslims as people than it is to accept the uncomfortable truth that Islam is different.

What would you do if someone werekilling in the name of your religion?
What Ahlam Tamimi
Teaches Us about Islam
You learn more from what people do
or don’t do than from what they say
“If Islam were truly against killing, one could hardly imagine a scenario more tailored to evoke Muslim outrage than unrepentant child killers literally receiving the royal treatment at Islam’s holiest site…”
Is Islam really against killing people? That’s what we always hear in the wake of high-profile terror attacks, even if it contradicts what we usually see. Sometimes we’re even told that the terrorists aren’t Muslim (despite what the terrorists themselves think and say).
But talk is cheap. Actions speak louder. Do Muslims really act as if killing is against their religion? Consider the case of Ahlam Tamimi:
Terrorists could hardly make it more obvious that innocent civilians are being targeted than when they bomb a restaurant packed with dozens of women, children and babies. This is exactly happened on August 9, 2001 at a Sbarro’s pizzaria in Jerusalem.
The monster who picked out this target was Ahlam Tamimi, a female journalism student from Jordan who also planted a bomb at a grocery store in the same area. Tamimi was not shy about her religious motivation in murdering innocent people:
This is the path. I dedicated myself to Jihad for the sake of Allah, and Allah granted me success. You know how many casualties there were. This was made possible by Allah.

Explore the Quran:
The Quran
Was it really the eternal word of God to Mankind?
The Muslim claim is based on circular reasoning:
We know the Quran was from Allah because Muhammad said so and we know that Muhammad spoke for Allah because the Quran says so.

Why are our politicians, media and churches so afraid to talk about this genocide? Why does New Zealand get so much more attention?
abad says
The silence on this from Tlaib, Omar, Farrakhan and company sure is deafening, isn’t it.
The Sanction of Silence par excellence, Islam style.
Battle says
Non-Muslim if any off-duty police can not be hired as private security during church services in Nigeria?
Battle says
Church property perimeter pre-sprayed with liquified pork fat? All village entrance roads to be to sprayed with liquified pork fat? Fair warning sign or pig’s head staked at each entrance road? All home perimeters sprayed same? If firearms illegal each church have animal dart guns with liquefied pork fat filled darts? Each church a back up security of paintball guns with liquefied pig fat filled paintballs? All door knobs sprayed with liquefied pig fat?

As I write this, I have a few more days to go on a 30-day Facebook jail sentence. Why? I am so glad you asked. Shortly after the shooting at a mosque in Christ Church, New Zealand, someone on FB posted a question asking why the MSM was doing a non-stop 24/7 news regarding this shooting. I responded with something along the lines of because it was more important to report on the few muslim/islamist that were killed in the ChristChurch shooting than it was to cover the hundreds of Christians being slaughtered in Nigerian by muslim/islamists. I had not posted that over ten minutes before the 30-day sentence was put forth. The push back on FB was swift. Sadly, there are couple of on-line news magazines that I subscribe to and that same message from FB that says “you have posted something against our standards” has popped up. I can only assume that they are connected to FB. We live in very very evil times.

Why do you worry about what the childish Face Book does? Tell Suckerburger to stick it where the sun don’t shine and drop that idiot flat.I have never been on Face Book or any other BS crap like it and I never will.They are all run by a bunch of Commies and their users are supporting them.

The stupid Marxists of this country believe that Islam is on their side. The Marxists first will come after Christians more and more, then when they rid of us, the only two powers remain, Islam & Communism. Guess who will win…? Islam will vanish Communism and Jesus Christ and the powers of heaven will send these animals back into the Sea!!
