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

Nigeria: Muslims murder 16 Christians in separate jihad massacres in Plateau state

Jan 30, 2020 11:00 am By Robert Spencer

Only if the roles were reversed, which would never and should never happen, would the international media pay any notice.

“Muslim Fulani herdsmen kill 16 Christians in Nigeria; gov’t condemned for inaction,” by Leah MarieAnn Klett, Christian Post, January 28, 2020:

Muslim Fulani herdsmen killed 16 Christians in separate attacks in Plateau state this month amid a spate of violence carried out by various groups against believers in Nigeria.

Herdsmen invaded Torok village in Riyom County on Jan. 20, killing Reuben Bulus, a 25-year-old member of the Church of Christ in Nations, said Dalyop Solomon Mwantiri, a human rights activist with the Emancipation Centre for Crisis Victims in Nigeria, to Morning Star News.

Just two days earlier, 13 COCIN members were slain in Plateau state’s Kulben village, Mangu County, in an attack carried out by about 20 herdsmen who also wounded three others. In Gako village, near Rim in Riyom County, another COCIN member, Ngam Stephen Dachung, was shot and killed by herdsmen on Jan. 1, Mwantiri said.

In December, herdsmen killed a Christian woman, Mary Machief, and her baby daughter in Plateau state’s Bokkos County. A relative told the outlet Machief was not killed instantly but died later from her wounds.

“We all prayed for God to give her quick healing, but God deemed it fit to take her to eternal home,” he said.

Christians in the northern region and in the Middle Belt have experienced an uptick in violence at the hands of radical Islamic groups, such as Boko Haram, ISWAP, and Muslim Fulani herdsmen in recent years.

A 2018 report from the Combatting Terrorism Center at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point suggested there could be as many as 6,000 Islamic State-aligned militants spread over nine different cells in Africa.

Last week, it was reported that the Rev. Lawan Andimi, a Nigerian pastor who made headlines for praising God in a ransom video, had been executed by Boko Haram militants in Nigeria.

That video followed another video released by the extremist faction last month purporting to show the killing of 11 Christian aid workers in Nigeria.

Additionally, the Islamic State recently published a video showing a child soldier killing a Christian man in Nigeria. The child is seen declaring that “[w]e won’t stop until we take revenge for all the blood that was spilled.” 

Faith McDonnell, the director of religious liberty programs at the U.S.-based think tank Institute on Religion & Democracy, responded to the news of Andimi’s murder by condemning the Nigerian government’s inaction.

“It is obvious that the president of Nigeria will do nothing to stop this without pressure from the West,” she wrote on Facebook…

    Hard to watch as half the continent is subjected to islam. Murder, rape and slavery seem to be their “gift”.
    Maybe some stern dialogue is in order, Mr. Pope, Mr. EU? United Nations,calling United Nations, come in please.

      It appears the white Europeans enjoy being humiliated and tortured.

      Yes, MC, but half of the members of the legislature and senate are Muslims and they are foot-dragging as well.

      No Muslim wants to stop this.

    At least 5 Nigerian Christians are murdered by Muslims every day of the year. It is an attempted genocide in the northern and eastern states of Nigeria. It is shameful that the world’s Christian leaders are saying nothing about it. Christian leaders from the First World should go to Nigeria and march through the dangerous areas and demand that the Nigerian government intervene more forcefully to stop the genocide.

      To most in the lefty media, we live in a post-Christian world. Christians no longer matter, they are part of the rubbish of history preceding globalisation.

    In Nigeria those sixteen Christians who had been ruthlessly murdered by violent and vicious jihad –minded Muslims in their murderous persecution of Christians aren’t really going to get away with their destruction of Christians. As the apostle Paul had written each individual Christian is actually, in the View of God, a temple of God. For to Christians, it is written in the Bible “Don’t you know that that you yourselves are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit dwells in your midst? If anyone destroys God’s Temple, God will destroy that person; for God’s temple is sacred, and you together are that temple.” First Corinthians 3:16,17. [N.I.V.] As in “A man reaps what he sows.” Galatians 6:7.

    Shame forever on the purported government of this territory. Shame on the first world for allowing this to go on.

    God bless the Christians of Nigeria.

    muslims should be thoroughly ashamed of the wickedness of their “religion” for all this is done in the name of al lah,his “prophet” and the koran.

    It cannot be denied any more that islam is EVIL.

    Nigeria: Muslims murder 16 Christians in separate jihad massacres in Plateau state
    ………………….

    Add that to this horror in another Nigerian state:

    “Nigeria: Islamic jihadis have made 59,311 orphans and 59,213 widows in Borno state alone”

    https://www.jihadwatch.org/2020/01/nigeria-islamic-jihadis-have-made-59311-orphans-and-59213-widows-in-borno-state-alone

    This is out and out genocide.

      The UN will never recognize it as genocide, the UN is too concerned about protecting its precious Islam interest.

    The U. N members are only interested in maintaining their jobs and pay checks
    Africa is meaningless as are African Christians all the UN will do is talk talk talk
    Maybe the pope of Rome can call on his Moslem brothers to save what’s left of
    Christianity in Africa

    So, “herdsmen” is their full time job and Christian slaying Jihadi is just a hobby?

    Islam again proving it is NOT a religion of peace. It is an ideology of world dominance through deceit , violence and the highjacking of false religious teachings. These islamic violent murder and rape gangs are nothing more than thugs and criminals using Islam as to justify their actions.

    Mr. Trump has put Nigeria on a list of countries from which “immigrants” will be limited regarding entry into this country. Due to those countries’ governments not being in some agreement with the U.S. policy.

    Of course, there are those protesting this inclusion of Nigeria on the list…but since they are allowing the slaughter of their citizens who are Christian by their citizens who are moslim, they don’t rightly deserve to just send in anyone whom they may choose. Most would likely be moslim and wherever these “herdsmen” go, they carry islam’s death culture and murderous actions.
