Elections are sinful, you see, because Sharia should be implemented, as it is the law of Allah. No voting is necessary.
“14 dead in Niger after Islamic extremists attack convoy,” by Dalatou Mamane, Associated Press, December 26, 2019:
NIAMEY, Niger (AP) — Islamic extremists on motorcycles killed 14 security force members who were escorting election officials in the West African nation of Niger, the first large attack there since 71 soldiers were killed in a massive ambush earlier this month, authorities said Thursday.
The attack took place Wednesday night near Sanam, which is about 200 kilometers (125 miles) from the capital of Niamey, according to a government statement. Officials from the national electoral commission were in the area to conduct a census before next year’s vote.
The victims were seven military police officers and seven national guard members, the statement said.
Niger has long been vulnerable to Islamic extremism because it shares a border with Nigeria, where Boko Haram insurgents have been carrying out attacks for a decade.
But now Niger is increasingly threatened by extremists from the Islamic State in the Greater Sahara group, which carried out a 2017 attack that left four U.S. service members dead in Niger. Those same extremists who are active along the Niger-Mali border also claimed the unprecedented massacre at the army camp earlier this month that left 71 dead….

Sharia law is certainly irreconcilable and incompatible with Western pluralistic democracy.
The European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) condemned Sharia law in principle. In its decision Refah Partisi and Others v. Turkey [GC] of February 13th, 2003, the Court noted “that Sharia is incompatible with the fundamental principles of democracy, as set forth in the Convention” especially concerning “its criminal law and criminal procedure, its rules on the legal status of women and the way it intervenes in all spheres of private and public life in accordance with religious precepts.”

Hey France you abandoned defenceless innocent people to this. Do you wish now that you had fought the Muslims in Niger before they showed up in Paris? c up.

Its crazy to try to vote while they are shooting at you. Shoot back at all of them. In G-d I trust.

Niger is half Muslim–they are making a final push to take over there, just like in Nigeria.

Yes–under Shari’ah whatever thug is most violent is able to seize power, and this is considered the will of Allah.
God, I hate Islam.

The Associated Press report says the attack took place on Wednesday.
The AP fails to say the attack took place on Wednesday December 25 Christmas Day, First Day of Christmas.

it’s immaterial to the AP; to them, all religions are equally stupid (except for islam, of course), so there is no necessity to mention anything about any of them (except for islam, of course).

True, Battle. These Christians were targeted on Christmas day.
Battle says
The AP report fails to say if the military soldiers and police officers were Moslem, Christian or African religion.
b.a. freeman says
again, immaterial to the AP. of course, since we know that the AP are leftist liars, and because the religion of the policemen and soldiers was not mentioned, we can also rest assured that they were *N*O*T* muslim. had any muslim police or troops been killed, the story would have been tilted slightly in order to highlight their religious abuse by the attackers, who no doubt would have been accuses of being … christian, animist, hindu, sikh, jain, buddhist, …

OOPS … accuseD, not accuseS.
