Ramadan in Nigeria: Muslims murder four Christians, shoot head of high school and his family

May 15, 2020 3:00 pm By Robert Spencer

“The month of Ramadan is a month of holy war and death for Allah. It is a month for fighting the enemies of Allah and God’s messenger, the Jews and their American facilitators.” — Qaedat al-Jihad

“Four Christians Killed, Head of High School and Family Shot in North-central Nigeria,” Morning Star News, May 7, 2020:

JOS, Nigeria (Morning Star News) – Muslim Fulani herdsmen shot and wounded a Christian leader and his family in one part of Plateau state on Tuesday (May 5), two days after herdsmen killed four Christians in another part of the state, sources said.

Herdsmen shot the Rev. Bayo Famonure, head of Christian high school Messiah College, at his home on the school premises in Gana Ropp village, Barkin Ladi County on Tuesday night, Pastor Famonure said by text message from his bed at General Hospital in the town of Barkin Ladi.

“Yes, I was shot in the head, but the bullet didn’t enter. It’s a miracle,” Pastor Famonure told Morning Star News, saying he was also grateful that bullets in his lower extremities missed bones.

The herdsmen shot his wife in the back and his two children in the feet, but all were in stable condition, he said. His wife, Na’omi, was initially in critical condition and was transferred to Jos University Teaching Hospital (JUTH), where she underwent surgery on her back on Wednesday (May 6), sources said….

Eight armed herdsmen invaded the school, closed due to the novel coronavirus, while the pastor and his family were sleeping, said the Rev. Danjuma Byang, secretary of the Plateau chapter of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN)….

Near Miango County’s Kwall village, herdsmen ambushed and killed four Christians on Sunday (May 3), sources said.

They were ambushed as they shared a motorcycle from Kwall village to Miango town at about 9:30 p.m., said area resident Moses Gata. He identified them as Evangelical Church Winning All (ECWA) members Friday Musa, 26; Chohu Nyangu, 25; Anta Yakubu, 26; and Baptist Church member Emmanuel Kure, 24.

“They met their untimely death in Adu village when they were ambushed and shot by Fulani gunmen,” Gata told Morning Star News. “Three of them, Emmanuel Kure, Chohu Nyangu and Friday Musa, were all killed on the spot with a spray of bullets, while Anta Yakubu sustained some serious bullet injuries and later died at Enos Hospital Miango.”…

Nigeria ranked 12th on Open Doors’ 2020 World Watch List of countries where Christians suffer the most persecution but second in the number of Christians killed for their faith, behind Pakistan.

    Because it’s Christians, the world will yawn (if even this). You see, Christians are expendable, even deserve what they get, but Muslims most certainly are not. Anyone averring otherwise is nothing but a rank Islamophobe. “Best of peoples” {Sura 3:110} and “the vilest of creatures” {Sura 98:6}—you know, massive and despicable rot along these lines that if you dare point out, well then, you really are a horrible person.

    World turned upside-down, respecting which make-believe world Islam is wonderful and any criticism of Islam is a form of hate speech. Hateful too in such a world is, OMG, wanting to keep followers of the worst religion of all time, and who are supremacist in their thinking, out of your nation. Yes indeed, what a hater and bigot you are if you seek this.

    And the real culprit here, the sine qua non culprit? Oh no, not Islam, wretched though it is. The ultimate culprit is the moronic and ongoing collapse of the West, courtesy of a multiplicity of Western suicidal notions and self-hate, stoked by political correctness, multiculturalism (N.B., only the West is politically correct and multicultural), a dearth of moral intelligence and common sense, and all the while accompanied by massive ignorance of history.

    Meanwhile, Christians aplenty are slaughtered by Muslims. And yet still you have rubes in huge numbers, some Muslim, some dhimmis, defending Islam. Disgusting but beneficial to Islam, now isn’t it? Meanwhile, the world yawns.

      It doesn’t even matter that they shot children. Killing children on a routine basis is somehow not newsworthy since it would make Islam look like the non-religious religion which it is. It is impossible to honestly report on Islam and not yourself become an enemy of Muslims anyway.

        “It is impossible to honestly report on Islam and not yourself become an enemy of Muslims anyway.”

        100% true.

        And that is the reason why most reporting on islam is whitewashed and dishonest.

      It is mainly the converts from non western countries who are expendable. Same is the case with non christoislamists. Who are targeted and demonized by both muslims and Christians.

        Again, this poster’s false claims that Christians are slaughtering Pagans is utterly false.

      Good call Wellington! Indeed, the world yawns, as most are cowards, brainwashed victims of ‘pc’ and their ill-choosen Quisling excuses of backboneless leaders, who haven’t gotten the courage, wisdom nor do they posess the cahoots of our forefathers, who willingly sacrificed their lives in substantial nrs and laid down their lives battling these savages, the satanic scourge of the earth gangs during the crussades! Once again, the time is drawing near to band together in unity & reverse this ongoing christian/judean genocide, to revive the old crussades, before its too late!

    Islam the religion? of hate and murder, lies, rape, pedophiles, honor killing, child marriage and dam near every other criminal activity you can think of. If the muslim people want to live that way they should stay in the islamic countries of their choice and leave the rest of us alone. Oh wait they want to rule the world with this crazy ideology.
