This is reminiscent of other incidents, including when a Muslim in Minnesota asked mall shoppers if they were Muslim and then stabbed non-Muslims. In the Philippines in February 2019, Muslims murdered a man for failing to recite Qur’an verses, while releasing six others who could recite them. In Mali, Muslims screaming “Allahu akbar” took hostages, freeing those who could recite the Qur’an. In September 2013 at Nairobi’s Westgate Mall, Muslims murdered people who couldn’t answer questions about Islam. In June 2014, Muslims murdered people who could not pass an Islam quiz. In November 2014, Muslims murdered 28 non-Muslims who couldn’t recite Qur’an verses. In April 2015, Muslims screaming “Allahu akbar” stormed Garissa University College, and only shot those who couldn’t recite Qur’an. In a Bangladesh restaurant in July 2016, the jihadis spared those who could recite from the Qur’an. In July 2017 in Kenya, Muslims asked Christians to “recite Islamic dogmas” and murdered them when they couldn’t do so. In May 2018 in Belgium, a Muslim who murdered four people told a hostage that he wouldn’t harm her since she was Muslim and was observing the Ramadan fast. In September 2018 in Kenya, Muslims murdered two non-Muslims for failing to recite the Qur’an. In Mozambique in June 2021, Muslims were hunting for Christians door-to-door.
“Burkina Faso Christians face resurgence of terrorist attacks,” by Maria Lozano, Aid to the Church in Need, November 5, 2021:
ACCORDING TO REPORTS RECEIVED BY AID TO THE CHURCH IN NEED, the security situation in northern Burkina Faso has drastically deteriorated in recent months. Armed groups are creating a reign of terror targeting the whole population, demanding taxes, and pillaging and robbing people in many parts of the country. However, the latest testimonies from displaced people collected by ACN in the Diocese of Dori indicate that some have been the object of severe persecution, specifically because they are Christian.
The modus operandi of the terrorists when they arrive in villages is to ask for “taxes” per head of cattle. They go to the cattle herders and ask for the owner of each animal. If these are not able to pay the taxes, they impound the animals. ACN has received reliable reports from local sources, according to which in recent weeks there have been cases in which the terrorists have first been asking whether the owner is a Christian or a Muslim. Witnesses who have lived through the latest attacks in the Sahel Region in northern Burkina Faso have told ACN: “If the owners were Christians the attackers didn’t consider it necessary to count their animals, because they said that they didn’t just want to take their animals, but also to kill the owners.”
According to reports received by the organization, in the last week of October a total of 147 persons—among them eight pregnant women and 19 children under five—had to flee from two villages on the Niger border, which for security reasons ACN is not naming, so as not to put the rest of the inhabitants in danger. The displaced people—who are seeking refuge in Dori, the capital of Burkina Faso’s Sahel region, explained that many of them had been identified as Christians and that the terrorists were expressly seeking them out to kill them because of their faith….
Bishop Laurent Birfuoré Dabiré of Dori, told ACN that there are “attacks, kidnapping, and murders in the entire country. The terrorists are kidnapping whoever they want to, executing some and liberating others.”
According to the bishop, the terrorists control various lines of communication and in addition frequently attack defense and security forces. “On October 31st, the terrorists turned back the regular buses which were on the way from Dori to Ouagadougou, saying that from now on the road was blocked,” he told ACN. “Although the army afterwards patrolled the road, the people are afraid because this is only intermittent, and the terrorists can come back at any moment.”…
In the Diocese of Dori, most of the population is Muslim (95.2 percent); 3.2 percent are adherents of traditional religions and 1.6 percent are Christian (1.22 percent Catholic)….

Hmmm. Christians don’t ask such questions and then kill if the “wrong answer” is given. Nor do Jews, Buddhists, Hindus, agnostics, atheists, et al. Yes, ONLY Muslims.
Conclude accordingly.

Exactly, Wellington.

I wonder when will the Pope or other Christian leaders in Europe or the United States condemn the murder of Christians by muslims . These leaders don’t follow the teachings of jesus, to love those close to them but they love those who murder Christians . A self defeating attitude. Instead of being good shepherds to protect from wolves, these church leaders invite Muslim wolves to devour their church
Mike says
The Pope doesn’t say it directly but he doesn’t believe in Jesus. It is only a symbol for him. More important to him is the base (the material environment) that forms the basis for the superstructure, that is, among other things, the various religions. Just read the books of Father Gutierrez, his friend. He says of the evangelization of Muslims that ” it makes no sense”.
James Lincoln says
Mike,
Pope Francis is a “Christian in name only”.
Judging by his actions, he is not a practicing Christian.
Mike says
Yes, it definitely serves Pachamama more than Jesus.

You aren’t wrong, Mike.

Burkina Faso: Muslims ask villagers if they’re Christian or Muslim, kill the Christians
…………….
We’ve heard Muslims do this many times. Infidels are fair game for murder at any time–this is orthodox Islam.
OLD GUY says
Sadly this will come to America, it’s just a matter of time with the migration invasion of islam. Thanks political leaders for failing to do your job of protecting the American citizens.
ceres says
When will reality sink in. All christian groups along with all non-muslim religions and atheists/agnostics must unite and demand islamic sadism to others stop and others get freedom and safety. The UN and EU should be protecting NON-muslims!! I am sick of seeing muslims free and safe enjoying our countries while breeding to take over here as well. Islam says kill until all the reluigion is allahs and this is required of all muslims despite pretence to be otherwise. Their cruelty, persecution and sadism cannot stop as it is a relious imperative.

Yes–all non-Muslims should unite against the threat of Islam.
