One hopes Pope Francis will hurry to Agban to explain to these Muslims that “authentic Islam and the proper reading of the Koran are opposed to every form of violence.”
“Four Christian Farmers Killed by Muslim Fulani Herdsmen in Kaduna State, Nigeria, Sources Say,” Morning Star News, November 25, 2019:
JOS, Nigeria (Morning Star News) – Muslim Fulani herdsmen on Nov. 14 killed four Christians in north-central Nigeria, attacking them with machetes as they slept in their beds, area residents said.
The four members of the Seventh-day Adventist Church in Agban village, near Kagoro in Kaduna state’s Kaura County, were farmers who were killed in the early morning hours, villagers said.
“Hosea Ayuba, Ado Adamu, Abagu Danladi and Kusa Danladi were killed by armed Muslim Fulani herdsmen,” area resident Derek Christopher told Morning Star News in a text message. “They were attacked with machetes, and their corpses had machetes cut wounds. The herdsmen came to the area in a minivan and a motorbike.”
A relative of Ayuba, Williams Adamu, mourned the loss, calling the latest attack in the area, “one too many.” Herdsmen also attacked Agban in 2017 and 2015.
A member of the Seventh-day Adventist church in Agban, Gideon Akut, and another village Christian, Didam Ashio, also said that the four named Christians had been killed by Fulani herdsmen….
Christopher said area Christians mobilized to pursue the herdsmen, who reportedly also stole three cows, apprehended the killers and turned them over to police in Kafanchan town, Jema’a County.
Kaduna State Police Command spokesman Yakubu Sabo said in a statement that the murders were reported at 3 a.m. to the Kafanchan station “through our operatives at a security checkpoint.”…
He reportedly identified the two captured suspects as Sadiq Umar and Umar Abubakar, both of Unguwan Nungu of Jema’a County. Efforts were underway to capture fleeing accomplices, he added.
Nigeria ranked 12th on Open Doors’ 2019 World Watch List of countries where Christians suffer the most persecution.

Is it Turkey that is supplying arms to the Fulani?

20 years ago the majority of Christian’s had still been very different to us Jews.The council of Lausanne reconfirmer the use of the term judeo-christisn values not to promote understanding based on common ethics, but for missionatin Jews to Christianity.And of course the List of the Catholic,orthodox,Lutheran and Calvinist churches is long and horrific.BUT (apart from fringes like westborow church) the changes in doctrines (second Vatican council etc.) had changed a lot.Today, after the majority of Christians condemn autodafé, inquisition, secondary cruzades against Jews in Europe and even asked forgiveness plus in majority condemn antisemitism, mentioning the Christian past in light of the 180 degree change is appropriate,while the Catholic churches pope reads any horror story(letters orders etc.) under negligence of this most important point.Apoarently the pope has an invers kitman protocoll. As As common value we Jews and Christian’s have the commandement “love the others as yourself”.The reason the passage starts with “do not treat badly others” is to avoid the he idea of “love the other as you practice masochism as love for yourself”.If bringing up the past key is to point out that it is the past and that something changed.Anything else is reintroducing hate starting by oneself.And hate only amplifies hate.

A few years back, Abubakar Shekau, the leader of Boko Haram, made a video in which he clearly stated his goal:

Can someone sit the pope down and make him watch that video?
Abubakar Shekau said: “THIS WAR IS AGAINST CHRISTIANS. I MEAN CHRISTIANS GENERALLY”

Regarding islam, the pope is like the three monkeys. he might even be a closet muslim.
David says
These muslims are mentally deranged. they have Islamania. the world would be a much better place without them.

They take machetes against those who are unarmed. And they go in the night when the unarmed are asleep and most vulnerable to attack. Sleeping people are unaware that someone is about to hack them to death. No chance whatsoever for self defense. This is murderous and cowardice combined.
This is truly demonic. And then, they steal. Just as Jesus Christ said, “The thief comes to steal, kill and destroy.” He was speaking of satan the devil…the original demon serpent and the evil creature behind these moslim murderers. Just as he “steals, kills and destroys,’ they are doing these same things.
