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

Mali: Muslims murder Swiss Christian missionary they were holding hostage

Oct 19, 2020 9:00 am By Christine Douglass-Williams 25 Comments

Jihadists kidnapped Swiss Christian missionary Beatrice Stoeckli twice. She was accused of proselytizing for Christianity and was threatened with execution. Now she has indeed been murdered.

The Muslim persecution of Christians continues throughout Africa at genocidal proportions. This persecution focuses primarily on native Christians, but the murder of Stockly demonstrates that foreigners aren’t safe, either. Yet those who proclaim to support human rights are silent, as the world embraces the “Islamophobia” canard.

“Switzerland says citizen held hostage in Mali has been killed by captors,” France24, October 10, 2020:

Switzerland’s Foreign Ministry said Friday that a Swiss woman who was held hostage in Mali has been killed by an Islamist group.

The ministry said it was informed by French authorities that the hostage had been “killed by kidnappers of the Islamist terrorist organization Jama’at Nusrat al-Islam Muslimeen about a month ago.”

The group, known as JNIM, is Mali’s branch of al-Qaida.

Switzerland’s foreign minister condemned the killing of the hostage, Beatrice Stoeckli, whose release his country had quietly been trying to negotiate since she was kidnapped four years ago.

“It was with great sadness that I learned of the death of our fellow citizen,” Ignazio Cassis said in a statement. “I condemn this cruel act and express my deepest sympathy to the relatives.”

Cassis said the exact circumstances of her killing were still unclear.

“The information about the killing was obtained by the French authorities from the recently released French hostage,” the ministry said….

      There is always someone ready to kill a Christian!!

      So true, and more often than not it’s a muslim doing the killing. But their religion teaches this murderous hate against all non-muslims, we shouldn’t be at all surprised when they do it.

      There should be a warning sign on every mosque and koran, “WARNING, THIS RELIGION MAY BE HAZARDOUS TO YOUR HEALTH AND OTHERS.” We put warnings on cigarettes but not islam, and islam has caused far more death and suffering than cigarettes. But more seriously, we need a more proactive approach to dealing with islam, we need to protect our nation(s) from the destructive effects their Nazi-like creed has against the peace and freedoms of others. There’s hardly a place on earth that hasn’t been infected with the diseased mentality that islam creates and causes. Islam teaches murder and hate for religion and it’s causing mass murder and hate, and that’s why it deserves the greatest condemnation and resistance that our laws and morality allows.

    The Swiss foreign minister condemns the killing of the hostage . To just condemn it is so shallow , I wanna know what can be done that such things don’t happen again , what can be done that the killers are brought to justice . Here in the west despite all the raping and killing of infidels , muslims live mainly undisturbed without any retaliation on the muslim population for their missdeeds while in muslim countries westerner aren’t safe anymore .I say stop all immigration and deport all muslims who became criminal .

      ”Switzerland’s foreign minister condemned the killing of the hostage, Beatrice Stoeckli,”

      Yeah, a condemnation so profound that I felt the shock waves all the way over here in the USA.
      That humiliating condemnation will teach these muslims to join the civilized world.
      I now condemn condemnation. (There, Ive put and end to condemnation) The world is now a better place for everyone, except the family of Beatrice Steckli.

      Question. Which do I hate more politicians or islam?

        I know, the insincerity is revolting. So there was some element of doubt in his mind that he felt the need to reaffirm his stance on murder? “I condemn this murder!” Well thank you for your valuable input, it will go far in preventing the next one. But this is how most politicians are when it comes to islam, they’re feckless and unwilling to be courageous when you need it most. It’s much easier to lie and pretend islam is our friend than to be honest about the blatant terror it teaches and causes. The Washington Times printed a global poll on politicians, the conclusions was,

        “Politicians are the least trusted group globally,” the meticulous research reports. “In all countries polled, politicians are seen as the most untrustworthy profession — globally, two-thirds of the public (67%) consider politicians generally to be untrustworthy

        Scientists, doctors and teachers are among the most trusted. Robert Spencer is a teacher (among other things, an author, a scholar, a lecturer, a human rights activist) and he’s good at what he does. That’s why his fans love him and his enemies hate him. His humanistic, fact based critique of islam appeals to me. I consider him the most important teacher on the planet, literally.

          You make a good point about politicians. Also, for all islam is, it is at least honest about its goal.
          ”We hate you kaffirs, and want to kill you” I can appreciate the frankness, and I take them at their word.

    Just how stupid would you have to be…..to go to Mali and preach religious nonsense to people who want to kill you…and she had already been kidnapped before. Travel warnings everywhere…DO NOT GO TO Mali,because of the national emergency going on for years. Religion really does make you stupid.

      If she was proselytizing in Mali it wasn’t a very wise thing to do, to say the least. One cannot expect to be treated humanely in an inhumane country. It is foolish to go into a lion’s den and poke the lions with a stick.
      But we properly blame the rapist for the rape and not the person who is raped regardless of her attire. However, she may be acting foolishly.

      Taking the atheist position is irrelevant except for your “virtue” signaling. You, as an atheist, are directly in the moslem crosshairs. And, what, islam isn’t stupid also?

    Their seem to be some sharia law rebels around in part of the country Mali. It is very popular nowadays in Islam countries, that themselves as a group of 56 countries push for it. That is sharia law.

    In Egypt and Turkey the news about the beheaded French teacher Paty is big news. Macron, it is broadcasted, is only provoking Muslims and Macron wants Muslims all to be seen upon as terrorists. It is also suggested that French police unnecessarily liquidated the killer and that it was unnecessary to show the cartoons, and France should not allow blasphemy against Islam.
    https://www.jns.org/free-speech-should-not-include-blasphemy-egyptian-tv-host-says-after-french-teacher-murdered-for-muhammad-cartoon/

    The demand for sharia law, and the pressure from Muslim countries will get greater, since they know they have a large Muslim force stationed in France.

      The Muslims who live in those countries have no idea of a free press that monitors itself. The thing we Westerners abuse and take for granted is, elsewhere, an invaluable and rare commodity.
      So rare that lies upon lies are told about it including that one about people being killed defending it.
      No sane person would do that!?

    Its hard to read this!! It makes you sad on one hand , because you are a part of the family of Christ in the earth.
    Being sad is not enough for this, it is taking actions to make sure it doesn’t.
    I think we need to learn a lesson from the Jewish people. Right now I don’t think the Jewish people will let anyone get away, with killing a Jewish person.
    They have learnt a hard lesson.
    Nobody should get away with killing a Born Again Child of the Most High God, anywhere in the world!!!
    I think all born again Christian need to come to terns with the fact that, The Islamic Host can be extremely wicked. The can be incorrigibly wicked! They are relentlessly wicked. Yes we have to pray for the salvation of as many as should be saved. On the other hand, we have to stop playing “sheep for the slaughter with them”. In the mighty name of Jesus, we have to become like the Lion of Judah, and command total destruction upon their host, their gods, and kings,!
    Please read!!!

    Psalm 149
    6 Let the high praises of God be in their mouth, and a two-eded sword in their hand;
    7 To execute vengeance upon the heathen, and punishments upon the people;
    8 To bind their kings with chains, and their nobles with fetters of iron;
    9 To execute upon them the judgment written: this honour have all his saints. Praise ye the Lord”

    This is our job description!! This is I believe is the way stop this!!

    According to the US State Department website regarding travel to Mali:

    “Level 4 advisory – Do not travel to Mali due to COVID-19, crime, terrorism, and kidnapping.”

    Traveler beware…
