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

Burkina Faso: Muslims murder 14 Christians in attack on a church during a Sunday service

Dec 2, 2019 9:30 am By Robert Spencer

We have seen jihad attacks on churches during services in Sri Lanka, Egypt, and elsewhere. And now this. Yet the establishment media is too busy insisting that Islam is a religion of peace, and demonizing those who point out that it is not, to take any notice. Don’t expect coverage anywhere close to the level given to the mosque attacks in New Zealand.

“Armed assailants kill 14 in attack on church in eastern Burkina Faso,” AFP, December 1, 2019:

Fourteen people were killed in an attack Sunday on a church in eastern Burkina Faso where places of worship have suffered a string of Islamist assaults this year, the regional government said.

“Unidentified armed men” carried out the attack during a Sunday service at a Protestant church in the town of Hantoukoura near the border with Niger, the government statement said.

“This attack unfortunately left 14 dead and many wounded,” it said.

Soldiers in the region were hunting down the assailants, who fled on scooters, a security source said earlier.

The poor West African country has suffered a series of attacks on Christian targets since February, leaving 21 dead before Sunday’s attack.

Burkina Faso’s population is around two-thirds Muslim and one-third Christian….

    This sort of attack on a church by Muslims is a monthly and even a weekly occurrence, but it doesn’t get the coverage that the New Zealand mosque attack did.

    The Red-Green Axis of Evil doesn’t want anyone to realize that the ethnic cleansing of Christians from the Western world is what they want.

    The perps must have been bullied due to their ‘race’ by the poor victims…or someone who wore the same kinds of shoes, or had similar haircuts, or ate the same kinds of fruit.

    This report, and unnumbered others, proves that moslims murder because islam tells them to hate, and then to murder those they hate and that they will be rewarded for doing so. And they lust for the killing.

    This report proves the lie that moslims murder due to “racism,’ or “bigotry,” or no job, mental illness, discrimination, or any other flimsy excuse they may dream up to escape punishment, scrutiny, questions, investigations, dislike, disgust, hatred, the Truth…

    these demon inspired creeps will not escape Divine punishment.

    where is the outrage? where are the Christian leaders who should be standing up to the persecution that the Christian church is being subjected to? And the Catholic Church allowing Ilhan Omar and other dems today, to come into their church and speak prayers in the name of allah… sick, disgusting, Baal worship, you will never, appease muslims, they are laughing at us all because of the wacked out thought process of PC and chrislam.

    When the soldiers find the scooters the handles seats and footrests need a thick coating of pigfat.

    For what seems like forever, Ive read accounts of similar events, excerpted from worldwide reportage. Today I read an account of this occurrence on Google News. Keep calling the worlds attention to these atrocities. How any more must die?

      the legacy media (and those running social media) pretend that this isn’t happening, because they hate christianity and wish to see it eliminated. folks of my advanced age used to get their news from the legacy media, so we never knew about these things, other than peripherally seeing occasional notifications if we happened to attend churches that cared (not too many of those left; most are but social clubs used to advance the latest leftist bulls**t). a few of us worked on the internet early on, so we were able to find things, especially once alta vista came along, and then google. unfortunately, googal (google) is a leftist propaganda outlet whose AI, which appears to be *very* well-written, is mis-trained by leftist “link quality” monitors who teach it that christianity is evil and islam is good, so that unless people understand things like training an AI, they don’t understand that googal is *NOT* your friend if U’re searching for *truthful* stories about politics or religion.

      we believers may rest assured that we will hear *NOTHING* about attacks by pious muslims as being attacks by muslims who are closely following their lying, thieving, raping, slaving, murdering “prophet,” until they are literally attacking *us*. how many more must die? enough for society to collapse so that the nazis can take over; of course, that will be followed by the accession of pious muslims. and then the killing will continue, because it’s *required* for pious muslims to torment and kill anybody not of their poisonous sex and death cult.
