Abduction of Infidels is sanctioned in Islamic law and subject to particular rules: “As for the captives, the amir [ruler] has the choice of taking the most beneficial action of four possibilities: the first to put them to death by cutting their necks; the second, to enslave them and apply the laws of slavery regarding their sale and manumission; the third, to ransom them in exchange for goods or prisoners; and fourth, to show favor to them and pardon them. Allah, may he be exalted, says, ‘When you encounter those [infidels] who deny [the Truth=Islam] then strike [their] necks’ (Qur’an sura 47, verse 4)” — Al-Mawardi, al-Ahkam as-Sultaniyyah (The Laws of Islamic Governance).
But don’t be concerned. There is no doubt whatsoever that Pope Francis is on his way to Borno now, in order to explain to these Boko Haram jihadis how they are misunderstanding their own religion, and that “authentic Islam and the proper reading of the Koran are opposed to every form of violence.”
“Boko Haram Terrorists Abduct Catholic Priest In Borno,” Sahara Reporters, July 5, 2021:
Gunmen suspected to be Boko Haram terrorists have kidnapped a Catholic Priest with the Dioceses of Maiduguri, Reverend Fr. Elijah Juma Wada.
SaharaReporters gathered that Wada was abducted on Damboa-Maiduguri Road last Wednesday.
He was said to be travelling from Buma Parish in Shani to Damaturu for the 10th anniversary thanksgiving Mass of his friend, Rev. Fr Yakubu Inda Philibus at St. Mary’s Catholic Church, Damaturu….
This is not the first time Boko Haram terrorists will kidnap a cleric. In December 2020, Bulus Yakura, a pastor of Ekklesiyar Yan’uwa a Nigeria (EYN) was kidnapped after the insurgents attacked Pemi village, Chibok….

These terrorist are so evil, we would rather them turn from their evil ways.

Mr. Spencer wrote, “Pope Francis is on his way to Borno now,”
He probably would at least consider doing so, except for his recent operation.
Before he went in for surgery, he pleaded with those gathered there in Rome to hear him speak, asking that they “pray for the pope,”….not “pray for me,” but “for the pope.” He asked them all to say a “special prayer” for him,
Question is, why wouldn’t he ask these boko mozlum monsters, murderers, rapists, kidnappers, to say a “special prayer for the pope”?
mozlums in Nigeria are having their victory now…but even though it seems to be going on forever, it will come to an end and they’ll all have to take a long dirt (forever) nap.
The pope may believe…personally, I think he knows the opposite… that they are just misunderstood and really do just need a big hug and a foot-washing, but he and they are most assuredly wrong. They are evil, doing the “desire of their father,” satan the devil.

Nigeria: Muslims abduct Catholic priest on his way to thanksgiving Mass

Freedom of faith is misplaced if the choice faith provides transgression other faith besides the faith providing for elimination of people practicing other faiths. Modern world call herself civilized yet does not take action against people who practice such faiths. Will the modern world wake up before it is irreversible events occur.
OLD GUY says
Oh the Pope will give them a call and everything will be fine. They mean no harm to this Priest, they want his opinion on christianity and an open discussion regarding Muhammad and Jesus. SURE. Let’s all pray for his safety and return.
E. Maria says
Let’s see what this fake Catholic, Pope Frank is going to do about this when he arrives in Borneo. Will he wash and kiss the feet of the Terrorists?
These Islamic terrorists are salivating at the prospect of doing this in America but they will be met with a brute force of American fire by the American people

He’s not going to Borno (or Borneo). This was a joke.
Kashyap says
How can a civilized nation allow religious laws to be operating while the constitution exists? Is it the duty of Supreme court to step in to enforce constitution & treating religious laws as criminal? Unless this is done Humanity will perish only demons will dominate.
