Black Lives Matter, except when they don’t. That organization will say nothing about this incident, because it doesn’t accord with their political goals to do so.
“Suspected Islamist militants kill 13 in eastern Congo villages,” Reuters, August 22, 2020 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
Suspected Islamist militants killed 13 people during raids on two villages in eastern Congo, the army and a village chief said, the latest in a spate of attacks the United Nations says may constitute war crimes.
The Allied Democratic Forces (ADF), a Ugandan armed group operating in North Kivu province in Democratic Republic of Congo, have killed more than 1,000 civilians since the start of 2019, according to U.N. figures.
Militiamen tied up the victims in the villages of Kinziki-Matiba and Wikeno, 10 km east of the city of Oicha, before killing them in the attack on Friday afternoon, said Chui Mukalangirwa, a local village chief.
“We beg the authorities to put an end to this bloodbath,” he said….
The ADF has operated in the dense forests near the Ugandan border for more than three decades. Late last year the Congo army launched a large-scale operation against them, sparking a violent backlash against civilians.
Several attacks attributed to the ADF have also been claimed by Islamic State, although researchers and analysts say there is a lack of hard evidence linking the two groups.
The insecurity has forced hundreds of thousands to flee their homes and complicated Congo’s response to the Covid-19 pandemic as well as an Ebola epidemic that has killed more than 2,200 people.

Bandits like Islam. They’d be murderin’ and thievin’ and raping without the desert cult to justify their twisted morals. But now they’re cool, admired by little kids.
mortimer says
The original Muslims were a band of hoodlums called the ‘SAALIK’. The name means ‘The Vagabonds’.
gravenimage says
Interesting, Mortimer. At what point were the Muslims known as this?
Rob says
What is it about ‘Friday prayers’ that so incenses Muslims that they need to kill to celebrate? Imagine going into a local Christian church after Sunday prayers and say ‘Hey let’s go out and slaughter some Muslims’
ArmyAviator says
Muslim “holy men” preach fiery, hate-filled and revolting sermons to Muslims at their Friday “prayers.” The crowd is whipped up to a lather by the “holy man” who tells the believers how satanic Christians and Jews are. So, naturally after a good harangue at the local Mosque, the “sons of Allah” naturally want to go spill some blood! It’s a Muslim thing!
lucretia macevil says
Yes, ArmyAviator – they like nothing better than a good froth-up, the savages!
mortimer says
The hate comes from the Koran, hadiths, Sira and canonical commentaries, rather than from the mullahs themselves. The texts teach hatred directed against the dirty kufaar.
The mullahs are just reading from the Islamic playbook.

*So* true, Rob.
James Lincoln says
A Christian who becomes a “more devout” Christian becomes less of a danger to society. They may become a little irritating and pesky/preachy – but that’s about it.
A muslim who becomes a “more devout” muslim becomes more of a danger to society. In the extreme, they may actually behead infidels – or become suicide bombers….

Here in Australia, it is Monday morning and on the radio and TV news it is all about (well. apart from the virus) the sentencing of the man who shot dead a lot of Muslims in the mosque in New Zealand. As you say, the Congo and Nigerian Muslim murders never get any attention, I also would mention all the endless murderous Muslim terrorist attacks throughout the world, in Europe, etc. I keep thinking about the scorecard. Here at Jihad Watch you mention that there have been 37,209 Muslim terrorist attacks since 9/11. In New Zealand today, in court, the Muslims are going to tell the murderer there about the impact he has had, etc, but I can’t get into the sympathy of the media tone. I think that the number of Muslim terrorist attacks are so much greater than anything Muslims cop. Maybe the message should be, OK Muslims, stop all the terrorist murders of non-Muslims and maybe Muslims won’t be occasional targets of return attacks. I’m certainly not condoning the murderous actions of the man in New Zealand, but I do look at how many more attacks are carried out by Muslim terrorists whether in the Congo or Europe or anywhere else that there are Muslims, and I honestly just can’t feel this sympathy the news media are expressing.
lucretia macevil says
Tim Gallagher, I also heard that NZ’s idiot Prime Minister wore a hijab in solidarity over this event. I’ll be interested to know when any muslims are going to wear a crucifix, or kippah, in solidarity with the latest muslim atrocity against Christians or Jews.
tim gallagher says
Thanks for the comment, lucretia. I didn’t hear about Prime Minister Ardern doing that, but it would definitely fit her style, lucretia. I agree with the point you make. I was just struck by all those Muslim terrorist murders, so many more of them than of Muslims occasionally being murdered, and I couldn’t go along with all the vast sympathy being shown towards the Muslims in the news coverage today. It seems as though these Muslim terrorist atrocities can take place over and over again, and all over the world, and yet there is this enormous sympathy whenever the shoe is on the other foot. Maybe I’ve grown hard-hearted when it comes to islam. I guess I’m sick and tired of all the evil acts islam’s followers carry out.
talleyrand says
trust me she did and was all over the TV in AU and NZ it was a sight i never wish to see again .
YES was bad but so is what is done in the name of Allah to Christians and other religions world wide
have you ever seen a mufti or any Cleric stand and say THIS IS NOT RIGHT 10 rto 1 you wont nor ever will..
YE gods they have one that claims the world is flat and can prove it becuase MO said so

It’s true, Tim.
“‘My job is to make people feel safe’: Jacinda Ardern says it was an ‘obvious decision’ to wear a hijab as she grieved following the massacre of 50 Muslims”
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-6846915/New-Zealand-Prime-Minister-Jacinda-Ardern-said-wearing-hijab-obvious-decision.html
As if seeing their leaders submitting to wear the head rag makes New Zealanders feel safe–it has just the opposite effect.
tim gallagher says
Thanks for the comments, talleyrand and gravenimage. Just to clarify, I did see Ardern wearing the head covering ages ago, soon after the shootings at the mosque, but I thought lucretia may have been saying that Ardern was wearing the Muslim head gear yesterday, something to do with this sentencing hearing in court yesterday. I have seen lots of vision of Ardern wearing the head gear (I think it has been re-run quite often on TV news-file footage, I guess). I believe that Ardern is one of the all time champions at sucking up to the Muslims. Yesterday, the TV and radio reporters were so full of sympathy for the Muslims, but I actually turned it off because I couldn’t cop their tone of voice as i was thinking more of all the endless victims of Muslim terrorism. I definitely see the world very differently to the way the mainstream media types see things. I think most people who comment here at Jihad Watch see things the way I do and not the way the mainstream media does. I agree completely with the points you make, talleyrand and gravenimage. On the point about making New Zealanders feel safe, gravenimage, I thought, oh, yeah, let’s stay safe from the violent, threatening Muslim scum by caving in to them pathetically. Be really nice to them and maybe they won’t harm us. It is idiocy. My way to safety is to keep Muslims out of all our countries. As far as I’m concerned, that’s the only way to safety.
gravenimage says
Oh–sorry, Tim. I thought you were referring to her wearing this previously.
tim gallagher says
No problem, gravenimage. It has been hard to avoid footage of Ardern, who I find pathetic when it comes to trying to be ultra nice to the Muslims in New Zealand, wearing the Muslim head gear. I don’t see all that much news about New Zealand or Ardern, but, when I do see footage of her, they often seem to show her in the head covering. I’d say the fact that she was trying to be so nice to the Muslims probably shows how people expect violent reactions from the Muslim community, and quite rightly, as I think we all are used to their violent carry on. The authorities, knowing Muslims will react violently, try to pacify them. To me, it is strange how there is so much sympathy expressed for the Muslims when they are attacked. And, of course, the people killed in the mosque in New Zealand could be non-violent types of people. But, to me, it seems as if Muslims commit endless terrorist attacks , but sort of get away with it, when you see how much sympathy is expressed towards them when they are attacked. I tend to think, well, what goes around , comes around. Muslims should stop killing non-Muslims if they want to never be targets for some revenge attacks. Muslims should dump their violent terrorism. Of course, they never will.
gravenimage says
Tim, I should have realized that especially in Australia that you would have seen Ardern in Mufti (so to speak) many times.
Walter Sieruk says
This report, alone, shows that concept of the idea of “Islamophobia” is a myth. There is no such thing. This report instead reveals that those who fear Islam have a case of “Islamorealism.”

Congo: Muslims tie up and murder 13 people after Friday prayers
………….
These *poor people*. This is so common–Muslims listen to violent Kutbahs at Friday prayers, then go out and murder innocent non-Muslims.
Compare this with Sundays after Church in Christian nations, which tends to be quite and very low crime. Compare and contrast…
OLD GUY says
It is strange how the left politicians never hear these horror stories that take place everyday. Close our borders to the islamic/muslim invasion that is taking place around the world. We don’t need these kind of people in our countries. Just plain evil.

BLM doesn’t give a damn about Black Lives here unless they can use them to add to their rhetoric of hate for the police and capitalism.
Everybody needs to understand that BLM is no different from ANTIFA but using a different message. This is a part of a huge anti-American plan by George Soros, orchestrated through many of his organizations. So many people failing to see the real intent just focusing on the craziness before them and not on the real goal. That is how the LEFT works, little victories that end in total defeat. Look at the anti-gun laws, the abortion law that grew from 1st Trimester only to even post birth in many states. Voting, started with sending many volunteers to register people in the south to today’s motor-voter crap and even register over the Internet the day of the election–no time to verify voters. Morals have been under assault by Hollywood for decades, moving more and more seductive scenes into movies, what was once XXX is now M. What could only be shown on 8mm porno reels is now not a problem. The sexualization of children into subteens that began with the airing of “Pretty Baby” where a pre-teen Brooke Shields bared her chest in a movie about a 12-year old prostitute to now where Netflix is running a full length feature about the sexuality of 11-year olds and many states are beginning to recognize Muslim marriages to children.
Time to step back and see the forrest instead of focusing on single trees.

Yes–this is “Cuties”. Here is a promo:

Especially disgusting is that these disturbingly sexualized preteens are contrasted with girls forced into Hijab–never mind that so many of these girls are also forced to marry old men. Really sick.
