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

Christians get smaller coronavirus rations, sometimes 6 times smaller, than Muslims in Nigeria, Somalia, and Uganda

May 2, 2020 8:00 am By Robert Spencer

We have seen the same thing in Pakistan.

“Muhammad is the apostle of Allah. Those who follow him are ruthless to unbelievers, merciful to one another.” (Qur’an 48:29)

“Christian minorities ‘back of queue’ in coronavirus aid – some rations six times smaller,” by David Williamson, Express, April 29, 2020:

CHRISTIAN minorities have been forced to the “back of the queue” for aid as the coronavirus pandemic spreads, according to a leading religious freedom charity.

Open Doors reports that in one area of Nigeria Christian families say they are receiving food rations which are six times smaller than their non-Christian neighbours. This comes as Christians across the developing world are targeted by conspiracy theorists who blame them for the virus. The charity is helping deliver food to people in Uzbekistan who have been denied aid because of their religion, and in India there are fears in churches that the promise of support will be used to bribe people to abandon their faith.

It also provided protective clothing to nurses in a Gulf state – which has not been named for security reasons – where Christians were denied this vital resource.

In Somalia, the radical Islamist group al-Shabaab has blamed the virus on “crusader forces”, and similar accusations have been made in northern Uganda.

Open Doors reports that minority Christian communities feel “shunted to the back of the queue for aid and forgotten”.

Jo Newhouse, Open Doors’s spokeswoman for sub-Saharan Africa, said: “We are only at the dawn of the unfolding of this pandemic in this part of Africa. There are many causes for concern for Christian minorities, like the economic impact of continued violence against Christians amid lockdowns, marginalisation of Christians, especially [converts], and Christians being blamed to have caused the virus.”

Open Doors’s warning comes as a major report from International Christian Concern takes Nigeria’s government to task for failing to “curb the tide of violence, killings and abductions” by militant groups. It says that in the first three months of this year there were at least 766 deaths related to terror or militant activity and the violence has started to spread to southern states.

The terrorist organisation Boko Haram has made international headlines with its kidnap of schoolgirls but Christians also live in fear of attacks by groups from within the nomadic Fulani population. These militants have reportedly destroyed at least 1,500 churches in recent years….

    Something to remember, as most elected officials in supposedly Christian countries open their gates wider and wider to the Religion of Peace, and willingly turn over to its members more and more power over their countries.

    The newly arrived are not there to melt into the crowd, but to gain power over the crowd, and to replace it with the Religion of Peace. The newly arrived will force you to conform to their ways, and will never even try to follow your rules.

    FOOD JIHAD … whatever promotes Islam is considered ‘good’. Islamic charity (zakat) is never given to the kafir.

    According to Sharia law, Kafirs may not receive any part of zakat:

    -(Islamic scholar) Al-Nawawi said, after quoting the hadith of Ibn ‘Abbas that the Prophet [an error occurred while processing this directive] said to Mu’adh : “Tell them that they have to give sadaqah (charity) that is to be taken from their wealth and given to the poor”: “It is not permissible to give any part of zakah to a kafir, whether it is zakat al-fitr or zakat al-mal… Malik, al-Layth, Ahmad and Abu Thawr said: ‘They (i.e. the kafirs) should not be given it.’”

    -The website, eshaykh.com says that while one may give voluntary alms to non-Muslims, the obligatory alms (zakat) required of all Muslims may be given to Muslims only, for “the verse determining the lawful recipients of zakat (9:60) refers to Muslims exclusively, i.e. those poor and needy are Muslims, as well as the mu’allafat al-qulub i.e. new Muslims….{Alms are for the poor and the needy, and those employed to administer the (funds); for those whose hearts have been (recently) reconciled (to Truth); for those in bondage and in debt; in the cause of Allah (jihad); and for the wayfarer: (thus is it) ordained by Allah and Allah is full of knowledge and wisdom.} [Qur’an] 9:60”

    – K. 28:86 says: “Lend not thou support in any way to those who reject Allah’s Message.”

    Religious discrimination is thus MANDATORY in Islam.

    Interestingly, the two primary ministries to persecuted saints that I support, Open Doors and International Christian Concern, are on top of this.

    Followers of Allah (who reveals himself as Satan in the Koran) are, simply, doing what their father/god commands. Jesus said ‘The thief comes to kill, steal and destroy. But I have come that you might have life abundantly.’ John 10: 10

        The vicious Allah of Islam is not the same as the benevolent God of Judaism and Christianity.

        Why pretend that it is?

        Note that this poster has *no* problem with Muslims starving Christians.

    ………………….

    I had thought that what Muslims were doing in Pakistan was likely happening elsewhere as well.

    God. I hate Islam.

    Well of course muslims get more, after all christians sent the food care and that is service to muslims first and for most. I’ll guarantee that if muslims/islamics send aid to a country it will be for muslims only. After all we all know that muslims always must come first as they are better than the rest of mankind. You would think that if they were such great people they wouldn’t need aid or help from the rest of us. I guess that’s just another lie of Muhammad/islam. Being a member of a “religious” / political group that advocates killing, raping and violence does not make you better than anyone else. It makes you the lowest creature on earth.
