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

Nigeria: Muslims “asked him to deny Christ and when he refused they cut off his right hand”

Sep 4, 2019 3:00 pm By Robert Spencer

“Around ten I had a call that they have killed my dad. They asked him to deny Christ and when he refused they cut off his right hand. Then he refused [again], they cut to the elbow. In which he refused, before they shot him in the forehead, the neck, and chest.”

Clearly the Nigerian government can or will do nothing to stop Boko Haram, the Party of the People of the Sunnah for Dawah and Jihad. They operate with complete impunity and commit jihad murder at will. Will the Islamophobia never end?

“‘When He Refused to Deny Christ, They Cut Off His Right Hand’: Nigerian Christians Describe Horrific Attacks By Boko Haram,” by Chuck Holton, CBN News, August 29, 2019:

ABUJA, NIGERIA – It’s Sunday morning in Nigeria, and Christians across the country are heading to church. As part of the continent’s largest Christian community, believers here have their choice of places to worship. Here at Family Worship Center, led by Pastor Sarah Omakwu, a graduate of Regent University, thousands lift their hands in praise.

But just a few miles away on this Sunday, these people try to find enough food to survive another day.

I visited a refugee camp for people who have been internally displaced from their villages in the north and to the west. There are about 2.5 million internally displaced people within Nigeria, and that makes this one of the largest humanitarian crises in the world right now. And the thing that all of these people have in common is that they are Christians.

29-year-old Aisha Walla grew up in northern Nigeria with her family, scratching out a meager living along with the rest of those in her small village. She is a Christian from one of the largest ethnic groups in West Africa. Life was hard for this young mother of two boys, and it was about to get a whole lot harder.

Boko Haram Invades Village

“In November 2013, Boko Haram invaded our village,” she said. “They killed my father-in-law and abducted some of the children who lived with us. We were so scared, so we fled to the mountains.”

As a movement, Boko Haram has been around for a very long time, starting back in 2002. But as time went on they got more and more radical to the point where five years ago they detonated a car bomb at the UN Embassy in Abuja. And they’ve since then killed thousands of people across the country of Nigeria and elsewhere, to the point where, in 2015, they were designated one of the most dangerous terror groups on the planet.

Much of that terror is directed at Christians. Enoch Yeohanna was one of Aisha’s neighbors.

Burning Churches, Killing Members

“They started with burning churches, killing the pastors, and killing the members. Shutting them down,” he said.

“On 29 September 2014 was the day that they attacked my village. Around ten I had a call that they have killed my dad. They asked him to deny Christ and when he refused they cut off his right hand. Then he refused [again], they cut to the elbow. In which he refused, before they shot him in the forehead, the neck, and chest,” Yeohanna went on.

Many of the 1,500 Christians living in this camp have similar stories. Like Hanatu Katghaya, a volunteer school teacher, who had to flee on foot into Cameroon carrying her three-year-old daughter on her back.

“We escaped from Boko Haram. I walked for two months before I reached Nigeria,” she told us….

    This story reminds me of my classmate at the
    American University of Beirut, Dr George Faris,
    Killed by Hizballa in July 1986 for the simple reason that he was a Christian.

      The murder of Christians has been going on for a very long time, but it has sped up in recent years as moslims have gained power in the earth.

    The same like in Cameroon, they kill people and cut off hands. How long will this things happen??

    • joanofark06 says

      Your question reminded me of this:

      And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth?
      And white robes were given unto every one of them; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellowservants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled. Rev 6:9-11

      That’s sad, I know. But as a christian, who has studied bible prophecy for quite a few years, I believe I know how this all plays out. But as for your question, it doesn’t end until the end of the 7 year Tribulation period. If you wanna know more about that, look it up online, or read Revelations. I know Revelations is hard to understand, but I’ll give you a hint on one thing. All the animals mentioned, are symbols of countries. The bear is Russia, the eagle is the US, the lion is Britian, etc, etc.
      So you wonder, when does this 7 year Tribulation start? When you see a 7 year peace plan, or contract, signed between two certain countries (I let you guess who they are), that will get the party started, or “hell on earth, or the “beginning of the end”. Maybe you and I, and most on this site, will be alive to see it, or maybe not. (But Trump tried the peace plan, as other leaders have in the past, and failed. But someday, it WILL come. I breathed a huge sigh of relief when it failed!).
      But I think, with the HUGE immigration of these many “satan followers”, into 19 NON muslim countries, I believe satan’s time has just become shorter, as we are told in our bibles, that his time is short. And, I believe I know why this huge immigration to those 19 non muslim countries happened. But I won’t say anymore, unless someone is interested and asks me, as not many people want to hear it.
      So, anyway, it will continue, and get worse and worse, if that’s even possible.

    Her father was a true martyr for Christ. A hero and example of faith in Jesus.

      NO doubt!! He’ll get his white robe, and stand beside Christ! Others will follow:

      And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth?
      And white robes were given unto every one of them; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellowservants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled. Rev 6:9-11

    Jesus said Christians would be “objects of hatred” and would be “persecuted” for His Name, because He was hated and persecuted. Jesus said that some of His disciples would be “killed,” but they are promised a “resurrection” and “life eternal” as reward for their faith in Him and in His Father.

    Jesus also promised that His disciples are valuable to His heavenly Father Who notices even the sparrows that fall to the ground. “Even the hairs of your head are numbered.”

    It is terrible beyond words what is happening to Christians, all over the world, at the hands of moslims. It will end and those “dead in the memorial tombs will hear His voice and come out.”

      I am in complete agreement. Yet, we hear no words of condemnation from many of the mainline churches in the U.S. Strange, to say the least.

      • gravenimage says

        All Churches should be condemning these horrors.

    Authentic and sincere Christians…
    Follow the Gospel and the commandment-obeying example of Jesus Christ:
    A Doctrine of LOVE{Love God,Love others:see the 2 chief commandments},striving to avoid violence and hate.
    LOVE THY NEIGHBOR,OBEY GOD’S COMMANDMENTS

    The fraudulently pious “devout” muslims…
    Follow the antiGospel of the ‘holy’ koran and the commandment-of-God violating immoral and sinful sunnah of their provably false “prophet” muhammed,a psycopathic mass-murderer{Abu dawud 4390}
    A Doctrine of HATE{al walaa wal baraa,NO SECOND CHIEF COMMANDMENT in islam meaning no “love thy neighbor”}
    KILL,HATE AND TAX THY NEIGHBOR for he is an infidel:”commandments,what commandments?” allah gives PERMISSION in his koran to break them{k2:191 commit murder,k4:24 commit adultery with enslaved women etc}

    Note the difference between islam and christianity:

    The SECOND CHIEF COMMANDMENT{“love thy neighbor” lev 19:18}..is MISSING and defied in islam
    And there is NO GOLDEN RULE in islam.

    “Take not the Jews and Christians for friends.They are friends to and another”

    k5:51

    Do you see?al LAH{“THE BEST of deceivers” k3:54}the pagan Arab god of islam tells muslims they are free to violate God’s Supreme law and NOT “Love thy neighbor”

      I was told by a Buddhist monk that hating someone or something is like taking poison and expecting them to die.
      Islam and it’s followers disgust me and I despise the way they behave, but I refuse to get drawn into the “HATE” routine. To do so would cloud my judgement and prevent me from fighting this blight on the world in a clear and concise manner.
      Hard to do I know, however I feel that to do otherwise would sink me to the levels of these twisted individuals.

      • gravenimage says

        Sep 5, 2019 at 9:50 pm

        I think that mindless and blinding hatred is indeed a bad thing, but that a reasoned hatred of evil is both moral and useful. You may, of course, disagree.

        I do not believe that hating evil makes you evil.

      Do you know the commandment to not use God’s name in vain? If you were actually telling Him, in a prayer kind of way, then you should of ended it with “In Jesus’ name, we pray”. Just the facts, maam.

      The reality of hearing THIS, through the media, BURNED ME UP, to no end!!!

      Trump speaking: (2018)

      “Today, I’m honored to host President Buhari of Nigeria at the White House,..”

      “It’s a true pleasure to welcome you to our nation’s capital.”

      “As I conveyed to President Buhari in our discussions, the United States deeply values and appreciates Nigeria’s role as a strong, democratic leader in the region.”

      “I’m pleased that Nigeria is one of our largest trading partners in the region, and we look forward to growing our trade relationship based on the principle of fairness and reciprocity.”

      “But we give Nigeria well over $1 billion in aid every year. And we have already started talking with the President about taking down the trade barriers — very substantial barriers to the United States trading with Nigeria. So we think that we are owed that.”

      “I especially want to thank President Buhari for Nigeria’s partnership and leadership in the fight against terrorism. He’s been a real leader. Nigeria was one of the first African nations to join the coalition to defeat ISIS, and Nigerian forces are currently leading regional efforts against ISIS in West Africa, and doing very well, as we have.”

      “Nigeria is also leading African nations in the fight against Boko Haram, and — another ruthless jihadist terrorist group.”

      UGH! I can’t stand it anymore….you’ll have to read the rest of Trump’s lies, and sickening comments to this evil “man”!! And people wonder, why I don’t support this man (as I did for about a month, when he first became President), anymore!! And that’s just ONE reason…

      As pious Muslims see it, there was no compulsion–after all the victim could have submitted to Islam.

      Sep 5, 2019 at 5:31 pm

      History shows us that conversion to a religion by force has been the “norm” for several religions through the ages. Only have to look at the Roman Catholic church in South America.
      Thankfully most humans have evolved out of this primitive violent way of doing things, with the exception of,,,,,,,Islam.
      Tells us a lot about the primitive, backward nature of this “religion”.

    Clearly, all Muslims are taught to put limits on God and that God “cannot have any partners”. This is doctrinal belief from the Quran.

    My answer to that is: “God has 3 manifestations or roles but is 1 God, not 3 gods. God is manifested as Father, Son, Holy Spirit, whose roles are Creator, Redeemer and Sanctifier. As humans are made in God’s Image, we have roles too: I am a daughter, sister, wife and mother but I am not 4 persons, I am 1 person with 4 roles.”

    What part of that don’t you understand?

    We must pray for these Muslims to see the 1 true Triune God.
