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

Nigeria: Muslims invade village, murder 11 Christians, set dozens of houses on fire

Jul 23, 2020 9:00 am By Robert Spencer

This kind of jihad attack happens in Nigeria with numbing regularity. If the victims were Muslims, they would be the subject of a blizzard of articles and feature stories, as well as academic studies and UN commissions. But since the victims are Christians and the perpetrators are Muslims, no one much cares.

“Muslim Fulani Herdsmen Kill 11 Christians in Attack in North-Central Nigeria,” Morning Star News, July 22, 2020:

JOS, Nigeria (Morning Star News) – Muslim Fulani herdsmen on Monday (July 20) killed 11 Christians in an attack in Kaduna state, Nigeria, the latest of more than 50 members of Baptist, ECWA and Catholic churches slain since June 12, sources said.

More than 50 armed herdsmen invaded Gora Gan village, in the north-central state’s Zangon Kataf County, on Monday at about 7 p.m., setting dozens of houses on fire, according to the Rev. Isaac Ango Makama, vice chairman of the local chapter of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN).

Seven other Christians were injured in the attack and were receiving treatment at General Hospital in Zonkwa, and many others are missing, he said. Corpses of those killed were taken to the morgue of the same hospital.

The attack brought to more than 500 the number of Christians taking refuge at a camp for the displaced, said Ezekiel James, one of the officials manning the camp.

“We currently have 559 displaced Christians at the Zonkwa Town Camp,” James told Morning Star News by text message. “They are Christians who escaped the attack against Gora Gan village and other villages in the past few days. These internally displaced Christians are in dire need of food items, drugs, and facilities to treat those who are traumatized.”

Sunday

The attack brings to more than 50 the number of Christians killed in Muslim Fulani herdsmen attacks in southern Kaduna state since June 12, when the Rev. Bulus Bayi of the Evangelical Church Winning All (ECWA) was shot dead.

The herdsmen on Sunday (July 19) attacked predominantly Christian Kukum Daji, in Kaura County, killing 18 Christians and wounding 31 others, according to Christian community leader Yashen Sunday Titus. A wedding reception was taking place at the time, he said.

“The herdsmen stormed our village at 10:35 p.m.; they were heavily armed and began shooting at our people,” Titus told Morning Star News. “Some of our villagers are still missing.”…

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.

      It’s genocide and ethnic cleansing. Herders hate farmers. Islam was started by herders, so it’s traditional. Farmers grow plants. Herders destroy plants, often destroying the ecosystem in the process. They are only concerned about getting meat. Muslims eat three times more meat than others. Islam destroys the ecology.

        Mortimer, It goes much further in the area where the Fulani are slaughtering the Christians. In Plateau State and other nearby states, it is also about who was there first as a close look at past ravages that have occurred in Jaws will show. Muslims do farm in the same region but the Fulani sub humans don’t kill them. Genocide is the only reason for the creatures herding the cattle to slaughter innocent Christians. It is often said in Nigeria that the Christian and other non-Muslim voters are too busy earning money to really engage the Hausa (which are mostly Muslim) voters to take over the government in Abuja. It is also said, and rightly so, that an honest politician in Nigeria resides in a grave.

        Not to harp too much against the most useless and detrimental American agency, USAID, the vast amount of money spent in Nigeria by this corrupt organization is in the Hausa populated areas. Very little ever goes the Christian and other religious states.

    BLACK CHRISTIAN LIVES DON’T MATTER to the North American and British media. Why would they care. They are unable to promote LEFTISM by bemoaning deaths caused by BLACK-ON-BLACK violence and even GENOCIDE in Nigeria.

    The Islamic ‘PETS’ … the Islamic ‘NOBLE SAVAGES’ of the Leftards must be defended against all facts and reason. They would seldom report such massacres on the front page. The Leftists want to fuel their neo-Marxist rage against rich capitalists … but for some reason, they always miss criticizing one of the biggest capitalist PIRATES in history George Soros … who broke the Bank of England.

    The SELECTIVE RAGE of the Leftards is transparent once you see it. They should be held accountable. Their selective rage hurts many vulnerable people around the world. Their concealment of most jihadic violence is unconscionable. The role of the media is to expose evil, corruption and cruelty.

    Without a clear picture of the largest TERRORIST GROUP in history (the jihadists), the population is unable to choose politicians who will STOP THE SLAUGHTER and TERROR of jihad.

      So true, without a clear picture of Islam by accurate reporting, people won’t pick the appropriate politicians.

    Joe Dementia believes we need to teach more about islam in our schools. Meanwhile in America the whiniest whiners in the history of the world (blm) are running around like angry children decrying their plight in the USA.

    This is the criminal religion ideology of islam if they won’t give you what muslims want they will steal it, murder you and destroy your property. I forgot and left out rape your wives and children. What a great future muslims/islam brings to the world.
