Ramadan in Nigeria: Muslims invade village, shoot indiscriminately, murder man and his pregnant wife

May 12, 2020 12:00 pm By Robert Spencer

Maulana Bashir Ahmad Khaki, a senior member of the jihad group Jamaat ud Dawa, said in 2018: “Ramadan is the pious month of ‘Jihad-o-Qital’ (Jihad and killing). Those who attain martyrdom while waging Jihad, doors of heaven remain open.”

“Suspected herdsmen kill man, pregnant wife in Benue,” Punch, May 7, 2020 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):

Suspected herdsmen have allegedly attacked and killed a couple at Tarkende Village, near Umenger in the Guma Local Government Area of Benue State.

According to eyewitness accounts, the herdsmen had invaded the village around 1.30 am on Wednesday and started shooting indiscriminately, killing the couple in the process.

“We were woken up by the sound of gun shots, which was coming from all directions. Everyone started running away from their homes to escape the rampaging herdsmen. By the time some youths went back to the village, the lifeless bodies of the man and his pregnant wife were lying on the ground, a few meters away from their residence. This suggested that they might have been shot dead while trying to escape,” a resident recalled.

The Council Chairman of Guma local government, Anthony Shawon, confirmed the incident.

Shawon told journalists that a woman who survived the attack told him that she ran for about 30 kilometres to seek refuge in a neighbouring village….

    A genocide against Christians is taking place in Israel. Will no one STOP THEM?

    -Abubakar Shekau, a cleric and leader of Boko Haram called for holy war against Christians:

    “I am making war on Christians generally.”

    “I enjoy killing anyone that Allah commands me to kill the way I enjoy killing chickens and rams.”

    “I even long for death, you vagabond.”

    I thought this was supposed to be a time of reflection.

      it *is* a time of reflection, gary; it is a time in which pious muslims reflect on their sins, knowing that the only way to escape the judgement of allah on the last day is to actually die while “fighting in the way of allah.” and if they don’t die, they’ll be granted “booty,” which can be things … or slaves, or sex slaves. BTW, most of the times that that verb “to fight” appears in the quran, it is the q-t-l form. in english, we have a few words for fighting, in many cases with the type of fight specified by a modifier: fistfight, gunfight, knife fight, etc; there are also other types of “fight” available, but they use different base forms: argument, disagreement, etc. in arabic, however, there are quite a few more forms available to the speaker than in english, in each of which the type of fight is much more closely bound to the verb. the q-t-l form means a fight to the death, with only one person surviving the fight. thus, when muhammed’s sock puppet allah talks about fighting, he is almost always talking about a fight to the death. it is too bad that translators just use the generic word “fight” rather than using a phrase specifying what kind of fight, but since most translators are muslim, i guess one must expect lies.

      so, yes, pious muslims reflect, and understand that all acts of q-t-l fighting are much more richly rewarded during ramadan than at other times.

      Islam doesn’t stop any more than taxes do.
