Nigeria: Muslims ambush and behead two Christians, shoot and kill a Christian farmer

Apr 20, 2020 12:00 pm By Robert Spencer

“When you meet the unbelievers, strike the necks…” (Qur’an 47:4)

Islamic apologists in the US frequently claim that the Qur’an doesn’t consider Christians to be unbelievers, but this is false: “They have certainly disbelieved who say that Allah is Christ, the son of Mary. Say, ‘Then who could prevent Allah at all if He had intended to destroy Christ, the son of Mary, or his mother or everyone on the earth?’ And to Allah belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth and whatever is between them. He creates what He wills, and Allah is over all things competent.” (Qur’an 5:17)

“Christians Killed in Ambushes in Two North-Central States in Nigeria,” Morning Star News, April 14, 2020:

JOS, Nigeria (Morning Star News) – Muslim Fulani herdsmen in Nigeria decapitated two Christians in Benue state on Monday (April 13), and another group of herdsmen in Plateau state on Saturday (April 11) shot a Christian farmer dead, sources said.

In Benue state, residents of Ologba village, Agatu County told Morning Star News that herdsmen ambushed two members of a Catholic church in the village at about 8 a.m. on Monday.

“Oche Alaade and his friend who had visited the village were traveling out of the village on their way back to Obagaji town where they reside when they were ambushed by the Fulani herdsmen and their heads cut off,” area resident Louis Oguche told Morning Star News in a text message.

Oyaje Sule, uncle of Oche Alaade, confirmed the killings in a statement issued to local press on Monday evening.

“My nephew, Oche Alaade, and his friend had come to the village for a visit and were returning to Obagaji town today in the morning where they reside, when they were ambushed by armed Fulani herdsmen, who killed them by cutting off their heads,” Sule said. “And because of the nature of their death, the two of them have been buried without their heads.”

The murders follow a herdsmen attack on two Christians the previous week who are receiving hospital treatment for their wounds, Sule said.

Agatu, a predominantly Christian area in the north-central state of Benue, has been under siege by herdsmen in the past four years, with many Christians killed and displaced.

In Plateau state, Muslim Fulani herdsmen killed 30-year-old Christian farmer Mabur Mallo Gwang on Saturday (April 11) in Maiduna village, Daffo District of Bokkos County, area residents said.

Four armed herdsmen attacked him at his house while he was resting that evening, they said.

“Mabur Mallo Gwang was attacked in his house at about 8 p.m. and was shot dead by the Fulani herdsmen,” John Machief told Morning Star News by text message from Bokkos town, where he had fled. “The herdsmen were armed with guns and machetes. They forced their way into the victim’s house by shooting and breaking doors into his house.”

Hearing the sounds of gunshot as they broke into his house, Machief and other neighbors fled into the nearby bushes, he said.

“As the herdsmen were retreating after the attack, we heard them communicating in Fulfulde, which is the Fulani language,” Machief said.

He said Gwang was a member of the local Church of Christ in Nations (COCIN) congregation….

    There seems to be a scourge of “Fulani herdsmen” wreaking havoc across the planet nowadays.

    The Koran uses the divinity of Christ as the pretext for attacking, enslaving and murdering Christians. Mohammed thought of Trinity as tri-theism, rather than triunity. He thought the Virgin Mary was a part of the Trinity. What did Mohammed get right in the Koran. The Koran actually declares that Jews and Christians are polytheists and thus Muslims are commanded by Allah to attack them and subjugate them.

    Koran 9.:30 is death warrant for Christians pre-authorizing any slaughter of Christians without the need of approval by Islamic authorities:

    Tafsir Ibn Kathir (on Qur’an 9:30)— “Fighting (q-t-l = fight to the death) the Jews and Christians is LEGISLATED because they are IDOLATORS and DISBELIEVERS (kufaar). Allah the Exalted encourages the believers to FIGHT THE POLYTHEISTS, DISBELIEVING (kufaar) Jews and Christians, who uttered this terrible statement and utter lies against Allah, the Exalted. As for the Jews, they claimed that Uzayr was the SON of ALLAH, Allah is free of what they attribute to Him. As for the misguidance of Christians over Isa, it is obvious.”

    It is obvious that the Koran is filled with factual errors. No Jew has ever worshipped Ezra as divine. And the three historic Christian creeds spelled out the nature of the Triune Godhead hundreds of years before Mohammed started his bigoted attacks on his Jewish and Christian neighbors.

    Mohammedans are still making these bigoted attacks because they are imitating Mohammed.

    Robert -you know

    The Pope doesn’t care and doesn’t;t dare say anything,

    the World Council of Churches don’t care…

    all those Christian organizations demonizing Israel and Zionists don’t care

    now if Jews were slaughtering Christians at this rate….

    you would see a YUGE and terrible response

    but muslims? they have a pass…the world is terrified of their violence and menace

    remind me why I should care

    Every day, I see reports on Jihad Watch about how African Christian farmers and villagers are being massacred! Why don’t these African Christians arm themselves? Why don’t they hire mercenaries? Why don’t Christians take the fight to these Fulani fools? Why don’t Christians attack these Boko Haram bozoes? Why is this damn war so one sided? Come on, Christians, your Saviour said to “sell your cloak to buy a sword”! Attention Ex SAS, Ex SEALS, Ex RANGERS, Ex DELTAS, Ex GREEN BERETS, Ex FORCE RECON: you’re needed in Africa!

      If the Christians armed, the Nigerian government would go after them.

        Exactly. Besides, Nigerians do not have the right to arm themselves.

          This does not stop Muslims, of course.

      Christ preached to turn the other cheek and suffer gladly. Whoever denies Christ is denied by Him. Followers are taught to take up their crosses as Jesus did. Christians must decide if they want to recieve their rewards in this life or the next. Jesus taught that Christians must be willing to die for their faith to reach Heaven. The Prophet taught that Muslims must be willing to kill to reach Paradise. There was a time in Church history that those who died for Christ Jesus, were praised and honored as saints and heroes of the Church. As for swords, Jesus rebuked Peter for using a sword against one of his captors and repaired the severed ear. He went to His death willingly. As He said, He could call down legions of angels to rescue Him, but he had to obey his Father’s Willl. Will I follow the Path to Golgatha? I am willing to face The Ultimate Test. Are you?

        With all respect, I don’t believe that Christianity is a suicide pact, and that we have to offer us our children to Muslims as sacrifices.
