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

Nigeria: Muslim says he murdered Christian captive because he “continued preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ”

May 7, 2020 4:00 pm By Robert Spencer

Imagine if the roles were reversed, and the Christian had murdered the Muslim for preaching Islam, which would never happen. There would be screaming international headlines. But the only place you will hear about this is here.

“Killer Speaks: Murdered Nigerian Seminarian Was Killed for Announcing Gospel,” Catholic News Agency, May 3, 2020:

WASHINGTON, D.C. — A man claiming to have killed the murdered Nigerian seminarian Michael Nnadi has given an interview in which he says he executed the aspiring priest because he would not stop announcing the Christian faith in captivity.

Mustapha Mohammed, who is currently in jail, gave a telephone interview to the Nigerian newspaper Daily Sun on Friday. He took responsibility for the murder, according to the Daily Sun, because Nnadi, 18 years old, “continued preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ” to his captors.

According to the newspaper, Mustapha praised Nnadi’s “outstanding bravery,” and that the seminarian “told him to his face to change his evil ways or perish.”

Nnadi was kidnapped by gunmen from Good Shepherd Seminary in Kaduna on January 8, along with three other students. The seminary, home to some 270 seminarians, is located just off the Abuja-Kaduna-Zaria Express Way. According to AFP, the area is “notorious for criminal gangs kidnapping travelers for ransom.”

Mustapha, 26, identified himself as the leader of a 45-member gang that preyed along the highway. He gave the interview from a jail in Abuja, Nigeria, where he is in police custody….

The newspaper reported that from “the first day Nnadi was kidnapped alongside three of his other colleagues, he did not allow [Mustapha] to have peace,” because he insisted on announcing the gospel to him.

According to the newspaper, Mustapha “did not like the confidence displayed by the young man and decided to send him to an early grave.”

According to the Daily Sun, Mustapha targeted the seminary knowing it was a center for training priests, and that a gang member who lived nearby had helped conduct surveillance ahead of the attack. Mohammed believed that it would be a profitable target for theft and ransom.

Mohammed also said that the gang used Nnadi’s mobile telephone to issue their ransom demands, asking for more than $250,000, later reduced to $25,000, to secure the release of the three surviving students, Pius Kanwai, 19; Peter Umenukor, 23; and Stephen Amos, 23….

    It is really sad that people like Mustapha are deceived into wasting their lives on something as evil and vile as Islam, a murderous ideology which masquerades as a religion.

      Mustapha Mohammed was trying to impose Sharia law which makes it a crime to lead a Muslim away from Islam. He is an example of why Islam is incompatible with modernity.

      Muslims like Mustapha Mohammed think that Sharia is infallible, because it based on an infallible book. People like him apparently have not studied the textual and historic problems with the Koran.

      Once Muslims see those textual and historical problems in the Koran, they start to doubt the Koran and begin to leave Islam. Their faith is in the infallibility of that text and yet, the text is one of Islam’s weakest links.

      The Koran is obviously of human origin, because the author has only the knowledge and prejudices of an illiterate 7th century Arab.

      The Koran is incompatible with modern human rights codes and civil liberties.

        The pope wants to stop his church from criticizing Islam, but the exposure of the textual and moral problems of the Koran and hadiths is one of the most effective ways to influence jihadists to leave their terrorist activities. The RCC has a duty to evangelize Muslims and to do that, they need to make Muslims aware of why Islam is not the answer.

      I’m truly amazed that the Christian, Jewish & Buddhist Societies have not banded together to utterly destroy the idiots who “worship” this asinine stupidity called moslem or muslim or “mudslime” as I prefer to call it. Of course I’m fully aware that Peace is the primary tenant of all three But survival Must come before Anything or these Sick Perverted Idiots will continue to Kill & Torture to further this moslem Ignorance !

        One of the Buddhist priests that is leading the fight against Islam ( can’t remember what country, Senior moment) said about moslems “ You can’t reason with a rabid dog”
        So even Buddhists, the most peaceful have had enough! But I agree , we should band together to reject islam as a world religion…based on the facts:
        No other religion commands it’s followers to kill non believers, wage war against them .
        No,other religion tries to take over whatever country it’s in , pushing to gradually Islamify that country by changing that countries laws and culture to become Islamic.
        No other religion commands that apostates be killed.

        Basically the most dangerous aspects of Islam are that it commands its followers to fight against all non moslems until the end of time. And “fight” can mean guerilla warfare ,organized armies and declarations of war, or civilization jihad, propaganda, deception of all sorts, love jihad, and random terrorist attacks . And any individual Moslem can express these hostilities, it doesn’t take a declaration of war or an action by a ccointry.

        And it’s so expansionist, that moslems are to go to non moslems country for the express purpose of taking over that country to make it an islamic country! And the more moslems in a country , the worse the fighting against non moslems becomes and the more aggressive and accelerated the Islamification process becomes.

        These things threaten the country and the citizens of any country that allows moslems to enter that country..
        Dr. Bill Warner says that once moslems enter a country, it’s just a matter of time until that country becomes Islamic .

        Moslems have NEVER been able to live peacefully and equally with any other faith! And they never will…

        No other religion does these things and this should be the reason that islam should be banned from all countries. And you can’t separate the religion aspects of islam from the rest , the political ,aspects.
        So you must judge them together,Islam is a religion-political ideology. Moslems themselves will tell,you that “Islam is the best SYSTEM for mankind. And that everything in islam is related to religion.

        Any group, religion or ideology, that threatens both the country and the citizens should be banned from that country. That’s not ravist or islamophobic, that’s self preservation, and common sense!

          Lilith, this was Burmese Buddhist Monk Ashin Wirathu, who said, “You can be full of kindness and love, but you cannot sleep next to a mad dog” re ravening Muslims.

          He is *quite* right. Thanks for citing him.

    According to Koran 9.30, the belief in the divinity of Christ is A PERFECT REASON for killing a Christian.

    Allah hates having a partner, but Muslims don’t see that Mohammed is the partner of Allah.

    Allah hates Christians and wants Muslims to hate them too.

    The Koran denies and mocks about 95% or more of Christian doctrines.

    The pope should be made aware that the DIVINITY OF CHRIST is the MOST OFFENSIVE CHRISTIAN TEACHING to the author of the Koran.

    The Koran rejects virtually all the doctrines in the set of teachings called the GOOD NEWS, but ironically, the Koran refers to the ‘INJEEL’.

    We ask Muslims, ‘WHAT EXACTLY IS THE GOOD NEWS IN THE TEACHING OF JESUS according to Islam?’ The Koran is actually a death warrant against Christians.

    Sorry, but blacks and Muslims are entirely incompatible with western societies. Look at that tramp who separated a Prince from his British Royal Family? Look at all the violent crimes and rapes in North America… nearly 70% of which are committed by black men/women yet they only comprise about 16% of the North American population. I’ve not even touched on the Fascist U.S. Democratic Party continuing to cover up its ally Islam and its Muslim criminals. The amount of western women (most of who are Caucasian sadly) who are Marxist/Jacobin is absolutely alarming. Don’t even get me started about the criminal Planned Parenthood and its selling of baby parts let alone the hundreds of thousands of murdered U.S. babies for no other reason than the whore mother just didn’t want to rear a child. I’m to the point now… I won’t even talk with a registered U.S. Democratic Party voter or Canadien Liberal Party voter… they’re simply so far gone intellectually I’m beginning to think they’ve fallen off the I.Q. chart.

      Seeking Deliverance,

      Many Blacks in the United States are fine people, just trying to live the American dream. Dr. Ben Carson is a prime example: high IQ retired neurosurgeon with strong Christian values.

      At the other end of the scale, we have Blacks who are vastly overrepresented in the violent crime statistics.

      Cities controlled by Democrats have thrown the Blacks under the bus for years – loss of decent jobs replaced by free stuff. And the lack of an effective crime deterrent.

      What we have now is the outcome…

    Wow what would happen if Christians killed Muslims for preaching Muhammads distorted view of political religion called islam. Islam the religion of the criminaly insane just can’t understand the religion of peace through Jesus Christ.

    Michael Nnadi is laying in his grave. Michael Nnadi is laying in his grave. He is supposed to be in seminary continuing his studies. He had a right to be in seminary.

    Was Nnadi’s head cut off? Shot to death? Beaten to death? Chocked to death? Suffocated to death?

    Nnadi is laying in his grave. Nnadi is laying in his grave.
