If the roles were reversed, which would never happen and should never happen, this would be an international news story. As it is, you’re likely to hear about it only here. Wrong perpetrators, wrong victims for the establishment media narrative.
“27 killed, some burned alive in jihadi attacks on predominantly Christian villages in Mali,” by Samuel Smith, Christian Post, June 4, 2020:
Suspected Islamic radicals killed at least 27 people, some of whom were burned alive, in a series of attacks that spanned from last Tuesday to Wednesday evening in three villages that advocates say are predominantly inhabited by Christians in Central Mali, officials said.
As escalations in communal violence have plagued the West African country in recent years, local officials told Reuters that attacks in the villages of Bankass, Koro and Tillé were carried out by armed men on motorcycles whom they believe to be jihadists that claim to protect Fulani herders from Dogon farmers.
“We were surprised by the attack on the village of Tillé,” Doucombo Deputy Mayor Yacouba Kassogué told the news agency. “Seven were killed, all Dogons, some of them burned alive.”
At least 20 additional people were reported to have been killed in neighboring villages of Bankass and Koro.
According to local officials, most of the victims in those two villages were shot or burned to death.
According to the interdenominational Christian aid agency Barnabus [sic] Aid, the attacks carried out last week in Central Mali victimized “mainly-Christian Dogon villages.”
“Since 2016, jihadists have been waging a war to occupy north and central Mali with the declared aim of establishing Sharia (Islamic law) throughout the country,” a statement from the aid agency reads.
“Mali suffered its worst year of extremist violence in seven years in 2019. Jihadi militants carried out murderous attacks in the north and central area, laying waste to Christian villages and causing hundreds to flee with only the clothes on their backs.”
Dozens were reportedly killed during a suspected Fulani attack in the mainly-Christian village of Sobame Da, a village in the Mopti region of central Mali, in June 2019.
Although initial reports suggested that over 100 were killed in Sobame Da, officials later revised the death toll to 35, including 24 children, on grounds that officials had earlier confused missing persons with those killed.
However, some community leaders argued that the initial death toll was accurate and that investigators did not uncover everybody in homes burned by the perpetrators, according to The Washington Post.
Mali, a predominantly Muslim country in West Africa, ranks as the 29th-worst country in the world when it comes to Christian persecution on Open Doors USA’s 2020 World Watch List.
According to the Joshua Project, the Dogon community has traditionally celebrated animistic religion but are increasingly turning to Islam “for lack of an alternative.” Today, the majority of Dogon communities are Muslim but about 11% believe in Jesus.
“In the few villages where Christianity has been lived out by missionaries, or locals who have become Christians elsewhere, one can indeed see the growth of the Christian faith,” the Joshua Project reports.
According to an Open Doors dossier on Mali, Islamic militants in the country “have been busy attacking the country’s security forces and Christians.” The document reports that “Christian villages were targeted and destroyed, with the attacks sometimes having both ethnic and religious elements.”…

Burned alive, omg what kind of a……s can do this? 😭
Savvy Kafir says
Savages whose hearts and minds have been totally poisoned by Islam. They occasionally burn to death their own daughters, sisters, and mothers to restore the family “honor”. Monsters in human form!
Michael Dohnalek says
Don’tthey believe Black Lives Matter ?
eddie says
I entirely agree with you when you infer that Muslims who burn people alive are bastards.
By the way, evangelical Christians should never eulogise the Protestant Reformers Martin Luther and John Calvin. Both men were sadists who had witches and heretics put on the top of bonfires.
While Islam is still nefarious, Christianity is now benign because it now cherry-picks its scriptures.

What utter claptrap from “eddie”. First of all he has go back many centuries for his Tu Quoque; and even then he has to lie about Christianity to do it.
Where do Christian scripture enjoin Christians to kill unbelievers? Of course, they do not.
Meanwhile, Islamic scripture is full of exhortations to murder non-Muslims.
And where are any Protestant Christians now lauding the killing of Christians of other denominations? More calumny.
peter says
That is the biggest difference between Islam and other religions . There are bad Christians, bad Hindus,bad Jews but they cannot justify their bad acts through their scripture . But in Islam tolerance towards infidels is proscribed and their founder of the religion who is a source of inspiration to all muslims ,relished,practiced and exhorted his followers to murder , rape and forcibly convert infidels to islam . He was nothing but evil personified . So are his preaching which is nothing nothing but a crime against humanity . If he were to live in this day and age , he would have been prosecuted for crime against humanity !

Spot on, Peter.
eddie says
So you know more about the Christian scriptures than Martin Luther and John Calvin?
Perhaps you need to reread the New Testament? Even John Wesley lamented the end of the witch-craze (His Journal), saying it was the end of biblical Christianity.
Calvin and Luther used scripture to justify the killing of witches and heretics.
You should probably stick to criticising the nefarious religion of Islam, because you are ignorant when it comes to studying the great biblical scholars Luther and Calvin.
I challenge you to name just one biblical scholar in history who is recognized to have more biblical knowledge than the two MAJOR Protestant Reformers.
CogitoErgoSum says
Please educate me, Eddie. What parts of the scriptures did Luther and Calvin use to justify the burning of witches and heretics? I’m going to guess that all the passages come from the Old Testament.
gravenimage says
Nowhere does the New Testament enjoin the murder of ‘heretics’.
As for Luther and Calvin, they were men of their time, and while there were many admirable things about the Renaissance, it was a brutal period.
But “eddie” is either ignorant or lying when he says this:
“By the way, evangelical Christians should never eulogise the Protestant Reformers Martin Luther and John Calvin. Both men were sadists who had witches and heretics put on the top of bonfires.”
This last is *not* true re Luther.
Martin Luther, referring to the burning of Jan Hus, argued that burning heretics was “against the will of the Holy Spirit”.
Dude says
You want me to murder, to rape, to rob, to enslave others? You say you are God, but I say you are an impotent, incompetent, scatterbrained psychotic aberration.
Well actually you just don’t exist, whatever you are. A tool to control those women? A tool to conquer the world? A tool to make everyone accept an evil perverted shameful existence as something to be admired?
Soon you and your gang will all vanish forever. So many have wasted their lives, and millions upon millions of other innocent unsuspecting lives have been ruined over the centuries. You have become the most evil monster of all time. I guess Bizzaro considers infamy the highest ideal. Well, you achieved that. Now let go of your genital, jerk-off and grow up. Is that the highest pleasure you can imagine? LAME. So Mickey Mouse, the God who’s as dumb as his followers.
Walter Sieruk says
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.

If we’re expecting God to step in and deal with these savages, we’re in for a very long wait.

CNN, MSNBC and the rest would be organizing tributes for the perps. No one can convince me any longer that we are not in the grip of massive government conditioning in obedience to its edicts and groveling before the unfounded accusation of “systemic racism”. If Trump loses in November there will no longer be any holds barred after next January.
As we used to advise anyone foolhardy enough to try to “infiltrate” a cult, always observe and practice the first rule of survival: Do. Not. Cooperate

Mali: Muslims murder 27, burn some alive in jihad attacks on predominantly Christian villages
……………….
Just *horrifying*. The Muslim genocide against Christians in Africa continues apace.
infidel says
As usual, the dhimmi UN will pretend that all these things aren’t happening.
James Lincoln says
Actually, infidel, the UN is actively promoting islamic values – and is overflowing with muslims…
OLD GUY says
This is the norm for the ,Muslim/islamic dictatorship that wants to control the world. Christians will be either enslaved to the muslim/islamics or murdered, you find this everywhere they become a majority in a country. Makes no sense as to why christian or any freedom loving leaders continue to ignore the obvious out come of Islam.
