Nigeria: Muslims attack Christian villages, murder 32, burn down four churches

Feb 23, 2020 3:00 pm By Robert Spencer

Will the Islamophobia never end?

“At Least 32 Christians Killed in Nigeria,” International Christian Concern, February 18, 2020:

02/18/2020 Washington D.C. (International Christian Concern) – International Christian Concern (ICC) has learned that Fulani militants attacked three Christian villages in Bokkos Local Government Area of Plateau State, Nigeria on January 26 and 27. During this attack, at least 32 people were killed in the villages of Kwatas, Rubio, and Marish. In addition to the 32 Christians who were killed, four churches in these communities were also burned down.

These churches include the Kauna Baptist Church and Church of Christ in Nations (COCIN) in Rubio village, and the COCIN Church and Anglican Church in Marish. Although other structures were also destroyed, the destruction of these churches demonstrates a particular hatred toward Christianity. Despite this, the Nigerian government insists that there is no religious motivation in Fulani militant attacks throughout Nigeria’s Middle Belt region.

Aside from the churches, at least 65 compounds were burnt or razed in Rubio and another 45 compounds in Marish. This has left 7,500 people without homes, churches, or access to food and work….

Nathan Johnson, ICC’s Regional Manager for Africa, said, “These kinds of attacks on Christians in Nigeria are so commonplace that the world finds it easy to turn a blind eye. Few care that there are people killed daily. International media and organizations want to pass these kinds of tragedies off as normal or historical. They want to say that there could not be a religious motivation for them. That would make it too difficult to deal with. For the people involved daily, however, this is life and death. The world can no longer turn a blind eye. We have to be willing to call this what it is: murder. The Nigerian government must be held accountable for not protecting its citizens, and the perpetrators must be punished. The Nigerian government must also show its commitment to the nation’s Christian citizens by helping to rebuild their places of worship which are daily burned down or destroyed.”

    At Least 32 Christians Killed in Nigeria

    CAIR is all wound up about the ‘Muslim Ban’.

    Surely, we wouldn’t want to ‘ban’ any of the Muslims involved in those atrocities from immigrating here.

    That would be Islamophobic.

      It’s a religion of give ’em a foot,….. they’ll take the whole leg…. Cowardly dogs who can only strike when they see no repercussions or retaliation……

        Very true.
        Though many people–from all walks of life–take advantage of ‘the system’, Islam–a supremacist theocracy–tells Muslims they’re the best of people and that they are not to be ruled but to rule.

        I do not understand why the Christian villagers do not build stockades around their villages, as in more primitive times we did in the Western world. they seem to do nothing to protect themselves or to defend their homes. surely aid agencies should be allowed to help them in this even if it means providing weapons and giving instruction in self-defence. Mohammedans have preyed upon the weak and defenceless since their origin in the 7th century, but if their victims resist, the bullies soon back away.

          The Nigerian authorities are doing nothing to protect them.

      I think Trump added NIGERIA to the Countries from where the United States would NOT accept any additional immigrants A lot of Nigerians have already arrived in the USA coming across our Southern Border. Canada has refused entry to them, so they will probably stay in the USA.

        If the immigrants are Christian it should be different.

    Yup, sure sounds like the religion of peace.

    As seen in the case example in Nigeria in which some Muslims hate Christians so much that they even engage murderous violence against them As in Nigeria where thirty-two Christians had been murdered by hateful and malice- filled Muslims .They then burned down four of their church buildings .

    Nevertheless the Muslim propagandists and well as the other apologists for Islam in the USA keep telling Americans that Islam is a “tolerate ,peaceful non-violent religion.” The reality is the exact opposite , as shown in this above top article along that Muslim persecution against Christians in Nigeria and in other Islamic countries.

    In addition is needs to be made clear that one of the reasons for this Muslim hate for Christian is that in the mosques and madrasas the Muslim clerics, as the imams who speak many awful and unproven terrible things against Christians and Christian doctrine.

    So much so the many Muslims get all worked up against Christians and Christian teachings and some those Muslims commit violent actions against Christians. Such false religious teachers, as those Muslim clerics, who speak to people unfounded and invalid evil things about Christians and Christian doctrines have been described in the Bible. For the Bible informs the reader in Second Peter 2:12. “They speak evil of things they do not understand, and will utterly perish in their own corruption.” [N.K.J.V.]

    It also should be make clear that in this specific above Bible verse, as well as in John 3:16. The word “Perish” does not mean loss of being but loss of well-being. As in going to ruin by ending up in languishing in torment in a terrible place of suffering that the Bible calls hell. Luke 16:19-31.

    …………………

    *Horrifying*–these poor people. And these atrocities are not being much covered.

      In bitter ironic mode, gravenimage, the Western Left, I would contend, cares even less about black Christian lives lost in Africa to jihad terror than white Christian lives lost in Western nations to Islamic barbarity because the latter when lost tend to be much “closer to home” and thus poses more of a threat to the Western Left’s own lives. It’s subconscious narcissism at work here as well as general stupidity, willful ignorance and mixed in with some degree of unconscious racism.

      Put simply, the Left can never go too low. They prove this again and again.

        Grimly true, Wellington.

    The book THE MYTH OF THE ANDALUSIAN PARADISE documents the conduct of the Muslims in Spain over a thousand years ago.
    Their conduct from then is the same as it is now.
    The stupid part of NOW is that so many people and institutions refuse to admit the depths of murder and the lies still actively being encouraged.
    The brutality of Islam has not lessened. In this case myth equals lies.

    This will continue until islam is completely destroyed, wiped off the face the earth, and eliminated from the universe.
    satan the devil is the source, the “inspiration” and the power behind these wanton murders. This demon has built a wild beast to go forth to bring mankind to extinction…and Christians are his greatest enemy on earth. Since he can’t get to God or Jesus Christ…if he did, he would immediately suffer defeat…he wages his warfare against innocent people.
    (Revelation 13)
    islam will be defeated, destroyed and disappear from the entire universe. God and His Son will see to it.
    Until then, Christians must remain strong in faith, even if the face of death, as many have already done.
    And hopfully, more people will wake up to the dangers that islam and moslims pose to the rest of us.

    Muslim terrorists have a plan to destroy Christianity in Africa, the Middle East and elsewhere. This plan is dictated by the teachings of the Qur’an and the example of Muhammad. In the case of Nigeria, its Muslim president is to blame for not protecting his Christian subjects. Shame on him!

    Do U guys know that right now, even as I type this, Muslims are on a RIOT AND BURN AND DESTROY mission right in the Indian capital of Delhi… Torching cars and houses and pelting stones and destroying public property and even killed one policeman

    • gravenimage says

      Feb 24, 2020 at 8:57 pm

      No, I didn’t know that, Infidel–it has not been covered in headline news here.

      “Man who opened fire at police during Delhi riots identified as Shahrukh: Here is how The Quint tried to hide his identity and affiliation to Islamists”

      https://www.opindia.com/2020/02/delhi-anti-caa-riots-gun-wielding-man-shahrukh-the-quint-hide-identity/

      Sounds pretty ugly, though. Thanks for the head’s up.

    I see far too many of these stories of mass murder by the CULT; yet not one single blurb on the evening news….

    Killing Christians isn’t news, Islamophobe fits the left Liberal agenda so it gets the front page. If I paint a cross on the sidewalk in front of a mosque all hell will brake loose in the media and I will probably get charged and go to jail. If an Islamic destroys a Christian or Jewish house of worship it will be on the 3rd page of the paper, with an apology for the poor muslim being mistreated causing him or her to act out.

      Too true.
