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

Nigeria: Muslim attacks on Christians increase, country is now ‘biggest killing ground of Christians in the world’

Sep 13, 2020 12:00 pm By Christine Douglass-Williams 21 Comments

In Nigeria, Fulani jihadists “now pose a greater threat than the Islamic terror group Boko Haram.” Meanwhile, as jihadists continue to slaughter Nigerian Christians on a more or less daily basis, the Pope and many other Christian leaders continue to prioritize political correctness in the face of Christian persecution, so as not to offend Muslims.

And while Western globalists remain dedicated to welcoming the hijra into their countries, heedless of the likely devastating consequences, the general inaction in the face of ongoing attacks by Fulani jihadists has left genuine refugees with nowhere to turn. Such persecution “in particular have had a devastating effect on Christian farmers — thousands have fled, leaving behind fertile farmlands.”

“Report: Muslim Attacks on Nigeria’s Christians Have Increased During Lockdown,” by Thomas D. Williams, Breitbart, September 9, 2020:

Fulani Muslim attacks on Christians in Nigeria have risen significantly since the country imposed a coronavirus lockdown on March 30 and scores of Christian farmers have been killed, according to a September 8 report.

“The middle belt region, which produces a large percentage of the country’s food for domestic consumption and export, has been affected most,” writes Nigerian journalist Patrick Egwu from Johannesburg.

In July, Christian Solidarity Worldwide (CSW) warned of “a sustained campaign of violence targeting farming communities” in parts of the middle belt, “which has been ongoing since January 2020, and which has seen a particular surge during July.”

CSW also revealed that as of May 15, Muslim assailants had killed 59 Christians and burnt down 155 homes, leaving hundreds of area people displaced.

The killing has continued and even increased during the summer. On August 10, some 20 gunmen stormed the village of Edikwu in Nigeria’s Benue state, killing at least 13 people and burning homes. In early September, several more villages were attacked and more than 10 people were killed.

“When this happens, the police go there, but before they arrive, the attackers have already disappeared,” said Paul Tekina, a villager in Benue State.

On August 22, Crux, a U.S.-based Catholic news outlet, declared that Nigeria is becoming the “biggest killing ground of Christians in the world” due to attacks by Boko Haram and Fulani militants, according to reports by International Christian Concern (ICC). The charity estimates that between 50,000 and 70,000 Christians have been killed by radical Islamists in the West African country over the last decade….

    So, apparently, Black Lives Don’t Matter when islam decides they don’t. And this sort of thing, in one shape or form, has been going on for how long exactly? Yet we hear little or nothing from most Western governments, the UN, the churches and (dare one say it) the BLM movement! Anyone care to offer an explanation for that lot? Because I’ve got a few ideas, but I’m no sure I’d like to express them in public.

    ‘GENOCIDE’ is the correct term for the destruction and ethnic cleansing against Christians that has been going on for the last 25 years.

    The Muslims of Nigeria are upset that Christianity is attractiing many thousands of Muslims to join churches every year. The Muslims want to even the score by murdering Christians. No one wants to join a Death Cult like Islam unless they have a certain psychopathy.

    The situation should be immediately addressed by the UN as a true GENOCIDE.

        Note that Muze does not say what the erudite and knowledgeable Mortimer has supposedly gotten wrong. This is very common with Muslim apologists for savagery.

          gravenimage,

          Muze, who is either a muslim or muslim apologist, resorts to

          1. Name-calling.

          2. Deflection.

          3. Lack of evidence-based citations.

          Ergo, no credibility in this forum…

    …50,000 and 70,000 Christians have been killed by radical Islamists in the West African country…

    We shouldn’t be too shocked, really, this has been going on for centuries. What is shocking is the degree to which our leftist politicians and media will go to ignore and minimize these muslim crimes. What does the muslim religion say about us “unbelievers”? Is allah a loving god who wants to lead us all to a better life on earth and heaven? Is islam truly a “hijacked” religion of peace, or is the truth far more dark and sinister?

    Well, let’s take a brief look at just some of what islamic doctrines says about us non-muslim pagans, unbelievers, Christians and Jews…

    …Muslims are told to not make friendship with Jews and Christians, and to kill the disbelievers wherever we find them, and to fight and slay the Pagans, seize them, beleaguer them, and lie in wait for them in every stratagem, and that non-believers will go to hell and will drink boiling water, and muslims are to slay or crucify or cut the hands and feet of the unbelievers, and that those who believe not in Allah and His Messenger, He has prepared, for those who reject Allah, a Blazing Fire! and that muslims should fight because it is good for us even if we dislike it and then strike off the heads of the disbelievers, and that after muslims make wide slaughter among them, carefully tie up the remaining captives, and that muslims will be rewarded for their fighting with celestial virgins and boys like hidden pearls and youth never altering in age like scattered pearls, for those who have pedophile inclinations…

    One only need to make a half hearted study of islam to know muhammad was a ruthless killer, slaver, and torturer, and allah was the demon god he proffered to justify those crimes and enlist compatriots in those endeavors. The idea took off because men love evil, not because it was a true revelation of god. That paragraph above is only a small sample of the brutality islam teaches–commands–against unbelievers, apostates, and “infidels.” Now combine those Nazi-like writings with the genocidal crimes muslims have actually committed for centuries and you get the point. Islam is a war-like creed that has siezed the collective consciousness of muslims as being worthy of the greatest respect and love. Our rights and feelings bear little concern for them. We are second class citizens compared to islam’s supremacist mindset. And as the above paragraph shows–just a small sample, really–islamic doctrines are where they get their bigoted aggression and hatred for us “infidels” and “kafirs,” vile terms meant to degrade our humanity. Leftist politicians and media are siding with this evil against our freedoms, our nation, and our lives. What do they call such people? Hmmm. let me think… Oh yeah–TRAITORS!

    Thank you, Agostino Armo Pellegrini, for having the courage to speak so clearly. truthfully and passionately for the untold thousands of us who feel the same emotion, the injustice, but do not have the words you’ve expressed in this Comment. The TRAITORS know who they are and we do, too. The Pope and fellow Christians of all denominations, the Vatican, the UN, the EU, the far Left and Right, Congress, The Squad, Anarchists, Antifa, BLM, Universities, Academia, CAIR, J Streeters, SJP, pseudo Jews who have forgotten the lessons of the Holocaust and the anti-Semitism that has followed us through Millenia, et al, ad infinitum!

    Toda Raba!

      Thanks for the sincere compliment. I’m grateful others in here put up with my oversized and over confident mouth. If my IQ were as big as my mouth I’d be an Einstein, lol. But when the urge is there it simply has to come out. I’m grateful JW has been there for all these years, I’d probably be chewing on rugs without them. And your list of traitors is accurate and long. It truly is a multifronted war we’re fighting. Much of the world is bending over backward to feed the hungry beast ISLAM with grovelling and lies of support. It’s easy for me to see why history is so full of genocidal crimes of hate and murder, it’s because the world is always lacking men and women of suffient moral courage and strength. I guess that’s why we make statues of them of the good ones, they’re so far and few between. Thanks.

      Here’s a vid from 2016, a tribute to the police. It’s off topic, but I think it’s still appropriate because it’s relevant, at least tangentially. Leftists are inciting this hatred against the police as they do against us for speaking against islam. The police are spat upon, ridiculed, disrespected, and murdered on our behalf. And this short vid does a good job of explaining why they deserve our respect.

        Agostino,

        Your posts are great – keep posting!

        Great video link, I’d also like to share one from the TV show Dragnet with Sgt. Joe Friday explaining what it’s like to be a police officer.

        All of the L.E.O.s that I know feel that it’s an accurate description:

          That was awesome! I used to watch that show religiously. Me and a high school buddy used to skip school and smoke pot and watch it at his parent’s who were at work. Oh the good ol’ days, lol.

          We ask a lot of these cops. We only hear about the occasional bad one, while the good ones work selflessly, risking their lives defending us. It sickens me to see cops be so disrespected now. Like most people I too was upset when that serious criminal was accidentally choked to death. It outraged me because there seemed to be no way to defeat the video that proved that cop wrong. And I still feel that was wrong. But that doesn’t excuse the race baiting, riots, and bloody attacks against cops and society. Such people are not for improving race relations, they are acting like racists themselves against society. I put islam in the same category. It is motivated by selfish and violent aspirations, but pretends to be a “religion of peace.”

          James Lincoln.

          Thank you posting this excellent video.

          Having worked with and had neighbors who were L.E.O’s, I can agree that this video is an accurate description of what their life is like.

          I agree with Agostino Armo Pellegrini, “We ask a lot of these cops. We only hear about the occasional bad one, while the good ones work selflessly, risking their lives defending us”

          Let’s try to remember to keep these men and women in our prayers.

        Thank you for posting this video, it’s sorely needed in today’s upside world. I couldn’t think of a better narrator than Paul Harvey.

        When in doubt about posting a video like this…just do it!

    My advice to Nigerian Christians is to go the S. Sudan way.Resurscinate the Biafra movement and seek support from well wishers.Since Muslims have tested the murky waters and received no opposition or condemn the genocide may scale up fully.

    Muslim/islamics killing Christians around the world at a faster rate.

    Islamophobia is a big concern around the world according to CAIR and liberal media.

    Black Lives Don’t Matter if Islam is doing the killing of Christian Black men, women and children.

    Muslim/islamics destroy Christian churches.

    Muslim/islamic rape gangs violate young girls.

    Muslim/islamic man honor kills daughter/wife.

    Muslim/islamics throw gay man from roof of high-rise building.

    Muslim/islamics yelling Allah Akbar kills using car, knife, gun, bomb, ball bat, etc.

    And Police search for man who burns Qur’an.

    What is wrong with this picture.
