A Muslim mob in Warji, Bauchi, Nigeria failed to get its violent hands on the target of their lynching efforts: a 40-year-old Christian woman accused of blasphemy on social media. So in a frenzy, they rampaged and “set fire to over a dozen commercial and residential properties.”
Whether it be in Pakistan or Nigeria, the stories are the same: a Christian savagely hunted by Muslim mobs for alleged blasphemy. Rarely is it fully revealed what the Christian actually said. In countries such as those, a Muslim only needs to accuse a Christian and instant death is a possibility. The facts don’t matter.
The Nation Nigeria tweeted:
Jihad Watch reported about Deborah Samuel and the disgrace that Muslim leaders condemned her murder for supposed blasphemy, yet they want stronger blasphemy laws.
Days ago in Nigeria, a Muslim cleric said: “Anyone who touches the prophet, no punishment. Just kill!”; while a Nigerian policeman stated that “anyone insulting the prophet should be killed and anyone questioning that is a kuffar.”
In an era of open-door immigration, similar occurrences are now a real risk in Western countries. Take, for instance, Samuel Paty in France, who was beheaded in the street for insulting Muhammad.
Before mass Muslim migration into the West, there was no risk of violent death for mocking and insulting any religion. In any case, Christianity was and is the usual target of such mockery.
“Nigeria: Muslim mob burns shops and houses in anger after it fails to locate another Christian woman to lynch over blasphemy allegations,” OpIndia, May 24, 2022:
On Monday, an enraged Islamist mob went on a rampage and set fire to over a dozen commercial and residential properties after they failed to nab a 40-year-old Christian lady whom they wanted to lynch over the charges of alleged blasphemy.
The incident was reported from a town in Warji, Bauchi where the violent mob was upset over a message that was posted by the Christian lady on social media. The message was deemed offensive to Islam and was declared as an act of ‘blasphemy’.
Last week, a staffer of the Medical Department of Warji council area named Rhoda Jatau used Whatsapp social media to post a video message that was allegedly critical of Islam. The video message that reportedly originated from Ghana was allegedly forwarded by Jatau in a 20 membered group, out of which 15 were Muslims. She was threatened by several Islamists to take down the video. Also, the deputy director of the Medical Department of Warji was forced to interfere in the matter.
Upon getting wind of the impending danger, the neighbours of the female medical worker made safety arrangements for her. Reports mention that the rampaging Muslims in the area created a ruckus and protested by blazing six houses, and seven shops and leaving several people injured after they could not nab Jatau. The police said the incident happened at about 5:45 pm on Friday, May 20. The authorities have since then deployed all tactical teams, mobile police force, and Rapid Response Squad (RRS) whose joint efforts brought the situation under control.
Blasphemy allegations and mob lynching in Islamic countries
As reported earlier, any sort of criticism of Islam draws a fierce pushback from Muslims around the world. In a similar case 10 days ago in Nigeria’s Sokoto, a Christian student named Deborah Samuel was beaten to death by an Islamic mob over an allegation of blasphemy. As per reports, the violent mob, comprised of Deborah’s fellow students in a WhatsApp group, was upset over some of her comments and had declared her a blasphemer…..

This same type of normative Muslim vigilante violence will eventually come to the US, unless US policians impede or stop the influx of Muslims into. This is not simply ‘what Muslims normatively do’ as part of their culture … this sort of violent vigilantism is what Sharia law commands.
Muslims cannot decide whether this vigilantism will remain in Sharia law. You cannot change Allah’s eternal, perfect law.
Anyone may execute a kafir ‘at war’ with Islam with impunity.
Sharia permits the murder of anyone who verbally opposes Islam, since they are at war with Islam:
“There is no indemnity obligatory for killing a non-Muslim (harbi) at war with Muslims.” -Reliance of the Traveller, o4.17, p.593
“We have already discussed killing the person who, with intent, curses the Prophet, belittles him or slights him in any way. The judgement in this case is clear.” (i.e. death) – Qadhi Iyaadh in ash-Shifa, Volume No.2, Page No. 27

Correction: unless US policians impede or stop the influx of Muslims into the US.

Spot on Mortimer.
Islam is Nazism (with an Arab god).
Muslims have created and us vs them scenario.
As President Reagan once said “we win, they lose.”
What’s needed is for people to realize the above in order to defeat this evil ideology.
