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

Burkina Faso: Muslims murder 58 people in attacks targeting Christians

Jun 10, 2020 3:00 pm By Robert Spencer

You will likely not hear about this anywhere but here. It doesn’t fit the establishment media narrative of Muslims as victims in all cases and every case.

“Burkina Faso: 58 killed in attacks targeting Christians,” by Anugrah Kumar, Christian Post, June 7, 2020:

At least 58 people, including children, were recently killed in northern Burkina Faso in three separate attacks by armed Islamic militants who were targeting Christians.

Christians were among those targeted and killed in the attacks that took place in the provinces of Loroum, Kompienga and Sanmatenga within 24 hours, from May 29 to May 30, according to the U.K.-based aid agency Barnabus Fund.

The group said a local source spoke to a survivor, who said the militants targeted Christians and humanitarians taking food to a camp of internally displaced people with many Christian villagers who had fled before the violence.

Referring to an attack on a humanitarian convoy in Sanmatenga province’s Barsalogho area, which left six civilians and seven soldiers dead, the survivor said, “The driver shouted ‘forgive, forgive, we are also followers of the [Islamic] prophet Muhammad.’ One of them [among the gunmen] turned to the other attackers and said, ‘they have the same religion with us.’”

The attack subsequently ended, the charity said.

Apart from the attack in Sanmatenga, militants opened fire indiscriminately at a cattle market in Kompienga on May 30, killing at least 30 people. The day before, a convoy of traders, which included children, was attacked while traveling from Titao to Sollé in Loroum province.

Dozens were injured in the three attacks…

    And what would happen if the headline read “New York: Muslims murder 58 people in attacks targeting Christians”?

    Do you think we’d be called Islamophobes for mentioning it?

      Probably.

      U would never see THAT headline in the NYT! instead, it would say, “New York: Suspected Right-Wingers Murder 58 People.”

    Christians who mention that dozens of Christians are slain by Muslims every week (and sometimes every day) will certainly be considered intolerant bigots from mentioning Islamicist bigotry!

    The Left doesn’t want to hear about the atrocities committed by Muslims and the Left doesn’t care if all Christians are murdered.

    The world at large will take no notice of this. Per Leftthink, Islamthink, most good people doing nothing about evil and your standard ignorance found in so many of our species, it is quite arguable, actually easily arguable, that the most “expendable” lives in the world are those of black African Christians. They are at the bottom of the barrel, not due to them at all, but due to so many others who have absolutely no defense for wittingly or unwittingly consigning them there.

      “The world at large will take no notice of this.”

      TRUE.

      And may I emphasize your 100% accurate statement:

      “The world at large will take no notice of this.”

      “The world at large will take no notice of this.”

      “The world at large will take no notice of this.”

      “The world at large will take no notice of this.”

      “The world at large will take no notice of this.”

      “The world at large will take no notice of this.”

    It’s not true that the media ignores Christian genocide in the Third World. These stories are fully covered by National Catholic Reporter. I’m looking for another one.

    The violent and vicious Muslims who are jihadists in their murderous persecution of Christians aren’t really going to get away with their destruction of Christians. As the apostle Paul had written each individual Christian is actually, in the View of God, a temple of God. For to Christians, it is written in the Bible “Don’t you know that that you yourselves are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit dwells in your midst? If anyone destroys God’s Temple, God will destroy that person; for God’s temple is sacred, and you together are that temple.” First Corinthians 3:16,17. [N.I.V.] As in “A man reaps what he sows.” Galatians 6:7.

    Day after day we get these reports of Muslims slaughtering people in African countries and elsewhere. I rely on Jihad Watch to hear about this. It is never in the mainstream media. When you read about these atrocities, I think that being a devout Muslim doesn’t seem much different to being a serial killer. islam is so violent and disgusting. Muslims just seem to go around murdering non-Muslims continuously.

    Just horrifying–and yes, few in the West know anything about this genocide.

    Black Lives Don’t Matter
    in Burkina Faso, in Nigeria, and so much of black Africa.

    When are the christians going to stand up and say enough is enough. It is time to step and and control islam with and eye for and eye attitude, that’s the only thing these muslim people understand. If we don’t kick their ass they will keep coming at us.

      Christians only make up 23% of the population in Burkina Faso–they are an oppressed minority.

    Where is Black Lives matter in all these! It shows that Black Lives Matter is an ultra left and muslim mafia!
