“Bishop Luiz Fernando Lisboa of Mozambique’s Pemba diocese has been an outspoken advocate for the needs of the more than 200,000 people who have been displaced by the violent insurgency.”
Lisboa states rightly: “The world has no idea yet what is happening because of indifference.”
If the world truly cared about black lives, there would be a loud outcry over the genocide of black African Christians that is continuing and escalating. There would also be international outrage over the ongoing enslavement of blacks in Muslim countries in North Africa. Instead, Islamic supremacy and jihad activity continue unimpeded “because of indifference.”
Other recent news about Mozambique: the Islamic State raided a town that is the location of liquid natural gas projects worth $60 billion. Not long after that, jihadists declared: “we want everyone here to apply Islamic law, we want a government from Allah.” Then, in pursuit of their “government of Allah,” jihadists massacred 52 people in a “cruel and diabolical” rampage. A couple of months later, at least 17 more people were murdered in pursuit of the “government of Allah.” Even the pro-mass migration Doctors Without Borders had to flee for their lives.
Amid global indifference, “multiple churches have been burnt, people beheaded, young girls kidnapped, and hundreds of thousands of people displaced by the violence”; all of this continues.
“Churches burned, people beheaded in Mozambique’s escalating extremist violence,” by Courtney Mares, Catholic News Agency, July 23, 2020:
ROME — A Catholic bishop has deplored the world’s indifference to escalating extremist violence in northern Mozambique, where multiple churches have been burnt, people beheaded, young girls kidnapped, and hundreds of thousands of people displaced by the violence.
Bishop Luiz Fernando Lisboa of Mozambique’s Pemba diocese has been an outspoken advocate for the needs of the more than 200,000 people who have been displaced by the violent insurgency.
In June there were reports that insurgents had beheaded 15 people in a week. Yet the bishop said that the crisis in Mozambique has largely been met with “indifference” from the rest of the world.
“The world has no idea yet what is happening because of indifference,” Bishop Lisboa said in an interview with Portuguese media June 21.
“We do not yet have the solidarity that there should be,” he told LUSA news agency.
The bishop noted in April that extremists had already burned five or six local chapels, as well as some mosques. He said that the historic Sacred Heart of Jesus mission in Nangolo was also attacked this year.
“They attacked the church and burnt the benches and a statue of Our Lady, made of ebony. They also destroyed an image of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, to whom the parish is dedicated. Fortunately, they were unable to burn the building itself, only the benches,” Lisboa said.
The bishop said at the time that the increased attacks, frequently targeting the Church, were “an injustice that is crying out to heaven.”
Paulo Rangel, a Portuguese Member of the European Parliament who has been advocating for European support of the region, said July 23: “The international community is nowhere to be seen in regard to the problem.”…

Barbarians.

Yes, they are, but the pope is not listening to people who understand Islam. The Islamic terrorists in Mozambique are Muslims imitating Mohammed’s methodology of jihad.
The pope could be helpful if he learned the jihad doctrine.
Bush says
The pope has no God in his heart at all, and he is standing with evil.
Uma Maheswar Nakka says
Yes, without any doubt.
tim gallagher says
Agreed, abad. This is Islam, this foul and murderous religious ideology, on display. This disgusting, bloodthirsty behaviour never ends and has been on display for 1400 years of Islam’s repulsive history. It is amazing that so many people still don’t get it, nothing seems to be able to wake them up. Many people still keep telling us to respect islam, which is something that I cannot understand at all.
Rufolino says
The Pope’s silence is deafening and his failure as a leader excruciating.
Miguel Ángel says
Yet silence where and when it matters. I shared on here a fortnight ago when I had been to george square in glasgow, whilst using the train station there to travel to&fro falkirk – that part is irrelevant. What is relevant is whilst departing for my journey there were 150+ people screaming things about Sudan; the goings on there&slamming the UK for injustice of some sort, and/or not doing anything. They were shouting through a microphone and speakers were used. On my return some 2 hours later; not only was I shocked they were still allowed to be there protesting given the so called covid restrictions. (If this was any other organisation it would have been time limited and stopped by then:no doubt). I sat on a bench to take in the sunshine – the screaming was unbearable in their own language, condemning something. The stationary police van that I witnessed before my journey was still there, and when I approached police to complain that I, a single female was harassed for cigarette, cigarette?? & money from another from the crowd who was more Iraqi looking, definitely not African but the crowd was full of mostly black but other foreign nationals that I did see.. I was sitting across the square from them& not within the proximity of the gathering but I was harassed & asked police why the protest was permitted that length of time, that I had seen this commotion when I first left Glasgow some hours earlier? I was told to move on. I’ve complained to the council but won’t get anywhere. I sat back on the bench& 10/15 minutes later the same 2 police left the van to tell them to finish up. A 3 hour protest. Now I don’t know if it was due to my complaint & exchange of words with the police or what. But what I do know is – something like this must be done by us – the same people who care what is happening in the world to eradicate christianity. Nobody is listening so we need to make them listen to what is happening in the world. Why are they allowed to protest about sudan in Glasgow?? How is it glasgows business? Anything that is said against these people its Islamophobia& far right. A new movement should be created for the protection of christianity & jewish people. All lives matter has already been denounced as racist . It saddens me that these important figures in high places like the Vatican for example are not condemning this continuation of evil against christianity. Sorry for the big rant but it just really got to me reading another story of hate and destruction of Christianity, these poor human lives& these girls will be violated again & again. It saddens me greatly & I’ve been told I’m an empath. So feelings are really strong to me. Apologies if I bored anyone

+++++++++++++1 It seems that our posts were written about the same time and we were thinking very much alike. Beautifully stated.

Thank you for telling your story, Miguel Ángel.
What you witnessed is what we are seeing here in the USA. Angry, loud protests are allowed with no time limit. These mobs are allowed to intrude on daily life while law enforcement is told to stand down and give them free rein. The Health Dept. regulations for the virus storm do not apply to them…they only apply to individual peaceful citizens who don’t wear a mask when entering a store, or to churches who have more than 50 people inside their buildings.
The mob is being allowed to run wild in your country and mine, and in Mozambique.
God help us.

The lefties won’t like it, but Mozambique was far better off as a Portuguese colony!

True, Joss.
Anna Yelena says
As usual Pope Francis’ silence is deafening. This Pope should resign immediately as he’s not capable of speaking against the Muslim thugs. His lack of actions shows he is pro Islam and anti Christ our Lord and Savior. Pope Francis is not a leader of the Christian World.
FYI says
The hagia sophia converted into a mosque
francis is a bit upset…
Christians massacred and persecuted by muslims
francis:SILENCE
francis the ‘pope of the EAR’ who cannot hear
Ray Jarman says
One Muslim is killed by someone somewhere and there is world outraged (except in China of course) but two hundred thousand Christians slaughtered and no one even yawns. Where is the UN? (Rhetorical and the answer is nowhere to be seen) I have not heard an utterance from Doctors without Borders even when they are chased out. The only reason why this continues is that good people continue to do nothing and here in the West don’t seem to care for their own heritage and of religious freedoms as the burning of churches and even cathedrals in France and here in America continue and only a few voices can be heard. Were it not for this and very few other websites, no one would know. At least Bishop Lisboa is speaking up because the worst pope in the history of the once great Catholic Church is too busy cleaning the blood off the jack boots of his Islamic friends.
Dave from San Antonio says
Sounds like we are back to…”Some people did some things.”
I have noticed that our beloved, fair and unbiased MSM has completely ignored all this…except for a obligatory mention of it here and there with a one line article that is then, quickly removed.

Black lives don’t MATTER in Africa. Only as a terror organization in u s.

Mozambique: Muslims burn churches, kidnap young girls, behead people, displace 1000s in escalating jihad violence
…………….
*Hideous*–and yet few in the West know anything about this.
OLD GUY. says
What is happening in Mozambique is the unfortunate future of the world if ISLAM/MUSLIMS are not STOPPED. The western leadership and Christian leaders have their heads in the sand and it will cost millions of lives if this continues unchecked.
Islam is not a religion of peace, it is a religion of a brutal dictatorship that will ENSLAVE and MURDER anyone that it feels a threat to its evil power.
eaglelasereyes says
A lot of People in the #MiddleEast even among #Muslims hate #Islam they are just afraid to speak up. If I was able I would say #CrimesAgainstHumanity and charge them. Muslims must learn #Civility

It is the time we compared Buddha and Muhammad Saheb. Muhammad Saheb believed in the concept – war can be won only through a sword. That is the concept behind Jehad. I am reminded of the book, “War and Peace”.
