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

Burkina Faso: Muslims enter church, threaten Christians, order them to leave their homes, 2,000 Christians flee

Sep 20, 2019 12:00 pm By Robert Spencer

Will the Islamophobia never end?

“2,000 Christians flee village following IS attack in Burkina Faso,” by Heather Preston, Premier, September 18, 2019 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):

Christian villagers in Burkina Faso have come under threat by IS extremists for refusing to convert to Islam.

According to Catholic charity Aid to the Church in Need (ACN), 2,000 villagers from Hitté and Rounga in Burkina Faso’s Loroum Province, fled their homes following violent attacks by Islamist extremists earlier this month.

Speaking about the attack on Hitté, ACN’s source said: “At the beginning of September, 16 men arrived in the village, intercepting the villagers who were returning from the fields.

“Some of the men forced the people to enter the church where they threatened the Christians and ordered them to leave their homes in the next three days, while others set fire to whatever they found in their path. Now Hitté is empty of any Christians and any catechumens.”

7,000 people reportedly sought shelter in the provinces’ capital, Titao.

The nearby city of Toulfé was the first town in the region to be targeted when jihadists murdered five people in May, before moving on to the town of Babo….

    As long as Christians don’t fight back they should be destroyed. I have no sympathy for Christians who keep getting butchered by Islam and do nothing to retaliate and eradicate Islam from their midst like the Buddhists in Myanmar did to get rid of the Rohingya (?)

      I agree with you. There is nothing in Christianity that forbids self-defense. And I would hope that if they all fled their homes that they at least burned them to the ground so that the devil worshipers wouldn’t have them either.

        In fact in ECODUS it says ,if a man is caught selling or in possession of a slave. PUT HIM TO DEATH ……… in Islam there talk that if a man does not believe in Psychopathic Muhammad then it is their Duty and prerogative to enslave that person
        Well if you believe in the.Qoran then there is no moral dilemma you don’t even have to wait for them to do anything wrong you can just kill a Muslim and there’s nothing wrong with it DO AS YHWH SAYS

      Burkina Faso is 89% Muslim, and the government does nothing to protect Christians. Fighting back would mean immediate genocide of Christians.

      Pretty easy to sit back in the West and sneer at how Christians all deserve to be murdered if they don’t make suicidal last stands.

    I wonder what the reaction would be from Pope Francis if they’d march into Vatican City. Somehow I don’t think the Swiss Guards would be up to the challenge.

      I concur with you both. That’s what the Christians in Lebanon did to defend themselves during the civil war. However, in places like Burkina Faso and Nigeria, Christians have been stripped from weapons and most can’t even purchase guns to defend themselves because the arms for sale are in Muslim hands.

        Unfortunately, Lebanon today is under the heel of Hezb’allah, and Lebanon is regularly used by them to launch Jihad terror attacks at Israel.

    Christian villagers in Burkina Faso have come under threat by IS extremists for refusing to convert to Islam.

    “No compulsion in religion”, eh? “You have your religion and I have mine”, eh?

    The “Islam is a religion of peace come hell or high water” people will look at the same words I just did before writing this comment and see nothing. The fact that the numerous stories like this are not even on the radar of those people prove just how deeply racist they really are. It also proves they are wrong about what they think other people want to know. In fact they are wrong in general but since they see themselves as wise they must blame other people for the resulting mess that follows in the wake of their wokeness. This “wokeness” does not include Middle Eastern Christians, Yazidi, kurds, ahmadi and everybody else who isn’t a Sunni Muslim (or sometimes a Shia Muslim). It’s all a completely preventable disaster, except for the exterminate all Jews part which is so built into Islam that anti semitism can be reflexive and impossible to remove.

    Yes, Islamophobia will never end because Islam is evil, so it’s right thing to fear the evil.

    Burkina Faso: Muslims enter church, threaten Christians, order them to leave their homes, 2,000 Christians flee
    …………………..

    Just sickening. The genocide of Christians continues.

    This article is about true Islamic evangelization. We will all be evangelized in the same way if Islam gets the upper hand.

    This has become an everyday occurrence and yet not a word from the US government. Good Lord, who’s side are they on? Our government stands for nothing excepting all those white people with their white privilege that object to their uselessness. Now that is a threat they want to confront. Black Christian lives don’t matter.

      Simply untrue:

      “Trump Tells Nigeria’s President Church Attacks Must Stop”

      https://www.christianitytoday.com/news/2018/april/trump-nigeria-president-buhari-fulani-church-attacks-benue.html

      “Trump Meets Victims of Religious Persecution at White House”

      https://www.voanews.com/usa/us-politics/trump-meets-victims-religious-persecution-white-house

      Most of these are people of color–just look at the photograph. How is any of this indicative of “white privilege”?

      As for the claim that white people are useless, this is pretty racist, as well.

    The Western MSM turns a blind eye and pretends its not happening because Islam is a religion of peace according to them. They are only poor black Christians anyway so no one wants to know about them do they? Funny,the same MSM shout from the rooftops if there is a so called ‘racist’ attack on a WEALTHY black footballer or film star who is not Christian.Money talks!
