Just keep repeating to yourself: the real problem is “Islamophobia.” Concern about jihad violence is “racist.” That’s right. Well done. You love Big Brother.
“At least 55 killed in eastern Congo massacres, U.N. says,” Reuters, May 31, 2021 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
At least 55 people were killed overnight in two attacks on villages in eastern Congo, the United Nations said on Monday, in potentially the worst night of violence the area has seen in at least four years.
The army and a local civil rights group blamed the Allied Democratic Forces (ADF), an Islamist armed group, for raiding the village of Tchabi and a camp for displaced people near Boga, another village. Both are close to the border of Uganda.
Houses were burned and civilians abducted, the U.N. office for humanitarian affairs said in a statement.
Albert Basegu, the head of a civil rights group in Boga, told Reuters by telephone that he had been alerted to the attack by the sound of cries at a neighbour’s house.
“When I got there I found that the attackers had already killed an Anglican pastor and his daughter was also seriously wounded,” Basegu said.
The Kivu Security Tracker (KST), which has mapped unrest in restive eastern Congo since June 2017, said on Twitter the wife of a local chief was among the dead. It did not attribute blame for the killings.
“It’s the deadliest day ever recorded by the KST,” said Pierre Boisselet, the research group’s coordinator.
The ADF is believed to have killed more than 850 people in 2020, according to the United Nations, in a spate of reprisal attacks on civilians after the army began operations against it the year before.
In March the United States labelled the ADF a foreign terrorist organisation. The group has in the past proclaimed allegiance to Islamic State, although the United Nations says evidence linking it to other Islamist militant networks is scant….

Does Congo have a government ever since President Mobutu died? Or is it a completely failed state like Somalia or Pakistan?
Eric says
Tribal competition to do the most damage to enemies of the Caliphate dominates. On a larger scale, focused on outsiders this looks very much like genocide.
gravenimage says
Yes, Congo is a failed state–I can’t even find solid information on who the current prime minister is, and the nominal government has very little control over the country, in any case. Things have become even worse since the Jihad reached there, though.

More murder, day after day, from the “peaceful” followers of Islam. All these evil pieces of crap that are murdering people in all parts of Africa, as reported here at Jihad Watch, certainly are imitating that murderous bandit and all round evil piece of crap, Muhammad, the Muslims’ truly bizarre idea of what a man should be like. I wonder how it is that all those idiots who keep telling us all how peaceful islam really is can possibly ignore these continual murders by Muslims in African countries and in other countries such as Pakistan as well. Islam produces an endless supply of evil monsters as these reports from various African countries show over and over again. Islam has done extraordinary damage to the human race during its violent 1400 year history.

You don’t have to go far from Europe…’civilised’ Turkey and Azerbaijan ‘cleansed’ and ‘liberated’ their lands from the indigenous Armenians who were there before Azerbaijan even existed. The Armenians who attempted to have autonomy and fought for separation and independence after being denied their rights to speak their language, worship Christianity freely, listen to their music and time and time again were brutalised and ethnically cleansed…This past year and it still continues, they decapitated many soldiers as well as civilians going so far as to place their heads on pigs and share on social media as well as video and share many photos of them violating soldiers, mutilating an old man, mutilating even handicap civilians, nailing children to walls through their heads and treating the Armenians as subhumans. It continues as they still refuse to return POWs and continue to take new ones since the world does not care about Christians. What has been ‘liberated’ is currently being cleansed of all traces Christianity. Thiusand year old cemeteries with valuable cross tones, churches disappearing off the map or being converted to mosques, history being rewritten. Horrifyingly, the U.K. government turns a blind eye and invests billions into these terrorist regimes. It’s hard to ‘digest’ this awful indifference of ones own government. Hard to digest and sickening.

Thanks for the very informative comment, Gavur. Yeah, I don’t get it at all. I can’t understand why almost everybody hasn’t woken up to the evil nature of Islam and that includes the governments of all western countries. It puzzles me why there are still so many people who keep telling us how islam is basically peaceful, which has to be just about the biggest lie ever told. It is time that everyone woke up to what an evil, barbaric and extremely violent ideology islam is and always has been.
Wellington says
Of course I agree with you, tg, about the “evil nature of Islam.” As for it not being universally condemned in our time (contra previous ages of Western history), I have to wonder if because of the globalist aspect which has made the world a much smaller place, an interconnected place, Islam has become like a giant rotten bank or a giant rotten industry—too big to fail and too big to be criticized. Not sure.
tim gallagher says
Yes, Wellington, that might be the reason for this bizarre protection racket that so many people seem to run for islam. Of course, as is often mentioned by perceptive commenters here at Jihad Watch, there are all those left wing loathers of the western world, people who are out to destroy the democratic and free enterprise western countries and who want to impose some Marxist type of dictatorship and they won’t criticise islam because they see in islam an ideology which hates our western civilisation and wants to destroy it just as much as they do. I can find no excuses because I think everyone should be able to see enough evidence of Islam’s evil, barbaric nature and pretty well nobody should defend it or tell us that we should be giving it respect. I hope that mortimer turns out to be right. He has said a few times here at Jihad Watch that he feels that many Muslims are fed up with islam and are possibly only Muslims in name only. The world would be so much better if islam would collapse. To me, it is just a load of primitive, outdated crap that should have disappeared ages ago. I can’t see islam any other way.
Wellington says
In agreement with you again, tg. Yes, Leftism is definitely a major reason why Islam is so often exculpated in the West. To a pure Leftist, the West is bad, just as Trump was bad. Leftists are fools of course, but there are many in powerful positions in various professions and that’s an extraordinary shame.

Democratic Republic of the Congo: Muslims murder 55 people in raids on villages, ‘deadliest day ever’

OLD GUY says

Sounds and acts more like the religion of EVIL.
