The Allied Democratic Forces (ADF), a jihad group, is seeking to expand implementation of the Sharia in the Democratic Republic of Congo, as well as in Uganda. The ADF is believed to be connected to the Islamic State.
Although jihad rampages occur again and again, terrorizing kaffirs globally, Western so-called human rights advocates turn a blind eye to the plight of their victims and choose instead to believe (and promote) the “Islamophobia” subterfuge.
The Democratic Republic of Congo has seen the following savagery since mid-January: jihadis raided a village, using machetes to murder 10 innocent people. Weeks later, jihadis massacred 46 more civilians in another savage attack on a village. Last week, Italy’s ambassador to the Democratic Republic of Congo was murdered in an attack on a United Nations convoy.
Ongoing jihadist abuses and rampant persecution and murder should be prioritized in mainstream media everywhere, but they are intentionally underemphasized, while Islam is promoted widely as a “religion of peace.”
“Suspected ADF rebels kill villagers in eastern DRC: Army,” Al Jazeera, March 1, 2021:
Fighters believed to be from the notorious Allied Democratic Forces (ADF) have killed at least 10 civilians in two overnight attacks in the eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), the army said on Sunday.
At least eight people were decapitated in the village of Boyo in the northeast Ituri province, while two others were shot dead in Kainama village by suspected ADF fighters, army spokesman Lieutenant Jules Ngongo said.
Soldiers were in pursuit of the attackers, he added.
Local officials confirmed the two attacks, adding that houses were also burned in the violence.
Kainama lies at the extreme north of North Kivu province, where it borders with Ituri. It is just five kilometres (three miles) from Boyo. Both provinces sit on the DRC’s border with Uganda to the east.
The ADF, which originated in the 1990s in western Uganda with the aim of creating a so-called “Islamic state”, have made their base in the eastern DRC since 1995.
While they have not launched raids into Uganda for several years, the group has been blamed for killing more than 800 civilians over the past year in both North Kivu and South Kivu provinces.
While the army has conducted operations against them in the region since October 2019, it has not been able to put a stop to the massacres of civilians….

Liberal scholars have been busy for decades telling us about how peaceful Islam is. There have been thousands of them over the years. How many of them ever went to places like Congo to teach them about how loving and peaceful this religion is?
James Lincoln says
None that I am aware of, Johnny B…

Good point, Johnny. If apologists for Islam *really* believed that Islam was peaceful, they would take it up with the Muslims who have somehow getten things so very, very wrong–but they never do…

Johnny, we have to remember that most leftists – probably 99.99% or more – are *nominal* leftists. they learned the “right” attitudes in school (or rather, were indoctrinated with them), but because they were never taught to think critically, they do what people have almost always done as long as there have been people: go the The Authorities, or The Smart People, for answers to their questions, rather than try to figure out how things work on their own. i’ll bet that almost all nominally leftist adults – especially the youngest, who are just getting out of high school or university – have not even had this thought occur to them. older leftists may have thought of it, and if the world has knocked them around enough, they may actually be receptive to what your question implies.
in 2018, 2 scandinavian women were murdered in morocco while hiking in the atlas mountains (https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/africa/women-murder-morocco-atlas-mountains-norway-denmark-toubkal-female-tourists-a8688266.html); more than likely, given that they were EUrabians, they were probably nominally leftist, and knew nothing of islam. it is a virtual certainty that they encountered a pious muslim who saw them as evil because they were kuffar, and because they were females who were unaccompanied by male relatives. the referenced story says nothing about sexual assault, but regardless of that, their murder can easily be ascribed to islam, because morocco is a muslim-majority nation. if memory serves, these were younger women, so they almost certainly thought that the most they had to fear was an accident or a lost passport. because the Smart People have never said that islam is dangerous, they accepted that the religion of the locals was irrelevant to their safety.
thus, hard-core leftists, who know better than to trust pious muslims, never take chances by visiting remote sites in muslim nations; only ignorant nominal leftists take that risk.

One of the Scandinavian women murdered in Morocco had been involved in a video campaign to show that Muslims are peaceful. You can’t make this stuff up, sadly.
James Lincoln says
b,a, freeman,
Those two Scandinavian women are dead as a direct result of Leftism.
My Leftist niece did some volunteer work in Nigeria a few years back. She never, miraculously, ran into any problems with Boko Haram, etc., and had an uneventful journey.
Naturally, this reinforced her idea that travel to countries such as Nigeria are still safe…
JOEYN says
I believe with the Left deceitfully taking control of the USA by massively rigging the 2020 election, the rate of such attacks especially in 3rd world countries all over the world will increase significantly. How sad.
Charles Ash says
Looks like a MOSTLY peaceful movement to me. Just like all the riots in America last year:-)

Congo: Muslims murder 10 people, decapitating 8 of them in jihad attack on village
……………….
These *poor people*. And the genocide of Christians in Africa at Muslim hand proceeds apace….
SKA says
In 1980 Christianity overtook Islam as the fastest growing religion in Africa. Clearly the jihadists are seeking to “correct” that with the sword. Those sub Saharan African countries in which non-Muslims make up the majority of the population should unite in some sort of defensive pact to counter these Mohametan murderers.
truthseeker says
— Just today I watched a documentary on TV re the horrific violence in DRC. They never once mentioned Islam, never mentioned jihad, never mentioned the ADF or its Islamo-supremacist ideology. Indeed, the TV experts insisted that the conflict in DRC was not about religion at all and was not about tribalism either. “Purely a struggle over natural resources,” they lied.
— I guess they like the natural resources lie because it suggests the problem can be solved with more Western aid. Or maybe they just like to lie. Political correctness is, essentially, a preference for lies over truth.
— Gee, the Saudis have lots of natural resources and lots of money, too. Does that stop them from breeding terrorists?
— It’s the ideology, stupid!
SKA says
In a sense it is a struggle over natural resources, namely, over the resource of human chattel sought either as dhimmi slaves or else as Muslims who are either male soldiers of the Jihad or female baby factories churning out more little Muslims. Even Muslims are just slaves of Allah and therefore chattel.

Jihadists are not the only violent factions in the Congo–but the are a growing threat.
