Nigeria: Muslims murder five men as warning to ‘all those being used by infidels to convert Muslims to Christianity’

Jul 31, 2020 8:00 am By Robert Spencer

Jihad attacks on Christians happen on a more or less daily basis in Nigeria. The world remains largely indifferent, because the victims are Christians, and that goes against the establishment media narrative that the only victims of religious persecution are Muslims.

“Islamic Extremist Militants in Nigeria Execute Five Men as Warning to Christians, Video Shows,” Morning Star News, July 23, 2020:

JOS, Nigeria (Morning Star News) – Islamic extremists have executed five Nigerian men in Borno state, with one executioner saying it was a warning to “all those being used by infidels to convert Muslims to Christianity,” according to a video posted on Wednesday (July 22).

Three of the men shot to death from behind on the video were identified as Christians by a resident of Borno state, where the executions apparently took place.

In the 35-second video posted on YouTube by Eons Intelligence before it was removed, the three Christians kneel blindfolded by red cloth alongside two others believed to be Muslims while five men armed with AK-47 rifles stand behind them.

“This is a message to all those being used by infidels to convert Muslims to Christianity,” one of the executioners says in the Hausa language, translated by Morning Star News. “We want you out there to understand that those of you being used to convert Muslims to Christianity are only being used for selfish purposes.

“And that is the reason whenever we capture you, they don’t care to rescue you or work towards securing your release from us; and this is because they don’t need you or value your lives. We therefore, call on you to return to Allah by becoming Muslims. We shall continue to block all routes [highways] you travel.

“If you don’t heed our warning, the fate of these five individuals will be your fate.”

The speaker than commands, “Bisimilah [Go on],” and the five men are shot dead.

The Borno resident (name withheld for security reasons) identified three of those killed as Christians. He said Ishaku Yakubu, an aid worker from Chibok with Action Against Hunger, was a member of the Church of the Brethren (EYN); Luka Filibus, an aid worker from Monguno with the International Rescue Committee, was an EYN member; and Joseph Prince, a private security firm worker, was a member of the Redeemed Christian Church in Maiduguri…

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.

    Nigerian Muslims are converting to Christianity in large numbers because it is seen as forward-thinking and more progressive. There is truth to that.

    The only thing Islam has to defend itself is violence and repression of dissent.

    Shastra,

    It’s due solely to islam’s intolerance to any non-islamic religion…
