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

Burkino Faso: Muslims ambush convoy carrying displaced civilians, murder 25 of them

Oct 11, 2020 9:00 am By Christine Douglass-Williams 11 Comments

The U.N. stated in January that the region has been experiencing “an “unprecedented” rise in violence related to jihad terrorism. Jihadists, “some with links to the Islamic State and Al-Qaeda, have been waging larger, more sophisticated attacks and are expanding into new territory.”

Despite the murder, the displacement of innocents and the suffering, none of this ever has anything to do with Islam.

“Attackers kill 25 displaced civilians in Burkina Faso, UN says,” Al Jazeera, October 7, 2020:

A convoy carrying dozens of displaced civilians hoping to return to their homes in central-northern Burkina Faso was ambushed by armed assailants, who then separated the men from the group and killed 25 of them, the United Nations has said.

The attack late on Sunday took place some 9km (five miles) from the town of Pissila in Sanmatenga province, the UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) said on Wednesday.

The women and children were let go, the UNHCR said in a statement based on survivors’ testimony. One man who was left for dead also survived.

“The attack on the (internally displaced people) occurred as they were returning to their homes from Pissila, hoping for an improved security situation there,” the UN said.

Ioli Kimyaci, UNHCR’s representative in Burkina Faso, denounced the “brutal and callous” attack. “Innocent civilians are seeking safety but instead are paying with their lives with alarming frequency,” she said.

An impoverished country of some 20 million people, Burkina Faso is one of several West African states in recent years to have been gripped by escalating violence that has spread across the western portion of the Sahel region.

Last year, clashes between government forces, bandits and armed groups linked to ISIL (ISIS) and al-Qaeda led to more than 2,000 deaths in Burkina Faso. More than one million Burkinabe people have been displaced by the conflict….

Three of the women who survived the attack told the Associated Press news agency that the assailants identified themselves as “jihadists” who said their attack was in retaliation for having volunteer defence fighters in their village….

      Yes, Chrissie, Muslims hate dogs too. They are following the SUNNA (sacred example) of their false prophet.

      Muslims hate kafirs ‘for the sake of Allah’. The life of a kafir is worth no more than that of a dog.

    RETRIBUTION IS NORMATIVE ISLAM, rather than an aberration.

    Retribution is a COMPULSORY Islamic teaching! Even though Muslims live in the West, benefiting from the blessings of freedom, the rule of law and prosperity, they still bring the Honor-Shame Paradigm with them. Muslims think ‘honor’ is more important than money.
    Honor is restored to a Muslim through the shedding of blood. No kafir is ‘innocent’. All kafirs deserve to be killed only because they reject Mohammed. The citizens of an entire kafir country can be held responsible because they pay taxes to support their military which attacks jihadists overseas. Islam thus considers all civilians legitimate targets for revenge in settling a matter of Islamic honor.

    -K.11.173 “Believers, retaliation is decreed for you in bloodshed.”
    -K.2.178 “O you who believe! Retaliation is prescribed for you in the matter of the slain.”
    -K.5:33 “The reprisal against those who wage war on Allah and His Messenger, and go about the earth corrupting it, is that they should be killed or crucified, or have their alternate hands and feet cut off, or be banished from the land.” Waging war against Allah is rejecting Him.”–Tafsir of Imam al-Bukhari

    -Imam AbdulLatif ibn AbdurRahman rahimullah said, “It is not possible for someone to realize Tawheed and act upon it, and yet not be hostile against the mushrikeen. So anyone who isn’t hostile against the mushrikeen, then it can’t be said that he acts upon Tawheed, nor that he realizes it.” [ad-Durar as-Saniyyah 8/167]
    -(The recompense of those who wage war against Allah and His Messenger and do mischief in the land is only that they shall be killed or crucified or their hands and their feet be cut off on the opposite sides, or be exiled from the land.) `Wage war’ mentioned here means: oppose and contradict, and it includes (opposing) disbelief.”–Tafsir Ibn Kathir “Surat al-Ma’idah [Q 5]”

    It has EVERYTHING TO DO with Islam.

    When will the world community realize Islam is a cult and not a religion? over 100 countries are wracked by “ISLAMIST” violence. Its the only organization that does this. Its not a religion.

    THE UNITED NATIONS MUST BE REORGANIZED OR ABOLISHED.
    http://www.alexbenziger.com
    What the United Nations is doing. ISIS militants in Iraq, the Taliban in Afghanistan, Al Qaeda and Boko Haram in Pakistan, and Fulani militants in Nigeria are wreaking havoc. UNO has not yet made any effort to eliminate these terrorists.
    The daily expenses of ISIS and other terrorist groups will require millions of dollars. But no attempt has been made to find out where the money for these terrorist groups is coming from, where the weapons and ammunitions are coming from, and to stop it.
    There are no human rights available to the citizens of China, North Korea, Pakistan, Iran, and Saudi Arabia. Why UNO has not yet intervened in these matters and why not interested to save the citizens.
    Poverty, hunger, famine, and starvation are rampant in Yemen, Nigeria, Somalia, Sudan, and other countries. But UNO is not interested to stop this.
    But, the UNO is only concerned with homosexuals, transgender people, and abortion.
    75 years have passed since the formation of UNO. Yet it did not attempt to achieve the main objectives of the fathers who created it. The first, second, and fourth objectives are about peace and tranquillity between nations. The third purpose is about hunger, famine, starvation, and disease. UNO should be interested in achieving its four main objectives.
    But, UNO is going the other way. UNO is acting against its purpose. UNO has deviated from its main purpose.
    The present world is moving against the Natural Order and Moral Order
    Therefore, UNO must be restructured or abolished.

    If you open your borders to the Muslim/Islamic migration this violence will come to a neighborhood near you soon.
