Why do I write “Muslims” when Reuters writes “militants” who are part of an “Islamist group”? Reuters is trying to imply that the killers are not true Muslims, but are following an “extremist” hijacking of the religion. But in reality, the killers are almost certainly motivated by Islamic texts and teachings calling for warfare against those who are considered unbelievers. Hence the term “Muslims” is actually more accurate and appropriate than “Islamists” or “militants.”
“At least 22 killed in eastern Congo village,” Reuters, January 5, 2021 (thanks to Henry):
BENI, Congo, Jan 5 (Reuters) – At least 22 people were killed in an overnight raid on a village in a part of eastern Democratic Republic of Congo plagued by Islamist rebel attacks, local authorities said on Tuesday.
The militants struck late on Monday, killing residents of Mwenda village with machetes and guns, its civil society leader Jeremi Mbweki said.
He blamed the Allied Democratic Forces (ADF), a Ugandan Islamist group which has emerged as the most lethal militia in Congo’s eastern borderlands and is suspected of hacking to death at least 17 people in a nearby village last week.
“Now we live in total fear, with no certainty about the future,” Mbweki said by phone. The administrator of Beni territory, Donat Kibwana, confirmed the death toll and said the ADF was responsible….

Hatred, fear, rape, kidnapping, extortion, and murder…all of what satan is about. The devil’s children wish to do the things of “his desire,” so they go after others who are unable to protect themselves.
No high walls with security cameras or alarms, no guns, no Dobermans or German Shepherds to prowl the grounds…just simple little houses without protection and where the authorities don’t care.
In areas of the world where people can live in secure homes with walls, guns, dogs, alarms, etc., freedom to speak of the evils of islam and its sidekicks/henchmen (many being female)…is under attack. Again, working for satan, just using different weapons.
In both cases, the perps will “reap what they have sown.” satan too.

Congo: ‘Now we live in total fear, with no certainty about the future’ as Muslims murder 22 in raid on village
………………
Just horrifying. Yet most of the world knows nothing about this genocide.

What’s more unbelievable is most of these African governments, which are not muslim, doing nothing about these jihads against their own people

Yes–appalling. Of course, the Congo is a failed state, so murderous Muslims have pretty much free reign there, even though it is not majority Muslim.
Peter WF says
These muslims will make great refugees for Europe.

Mohamed’s power and success only kicked off when he got all the thieves, murderers and rapists in the Arabian peninsula to join his gang in exchange of legitimisation of
their crimes. What the non muslims in Africa need is guns to protect themselves from the ever increasing numbers of the said thieves, murderers and rapists.

Islam lives off of fear and hate. The religion of peace and love murdering and stealing its way across the world. The only thing islam loves is violence and power. This islamic ideology needs to be stoped before it reaches our neighborhoods. Nothing good comes from the islamic migration invasion. If Biden opens the American borders to this evil, GOD will judge him harshly. Diversity only helps your enemy gain access to your country!
Anson Rohr says
America should have sent weapons to these Christians in Africa, so they could at least defend themselves. Too much corruption in both our government and that of the Congo to do anything now.
