Cue the denials that they were Muslims, the claims that they weren’t targeting Christians, etc.
“Eight killed in suspected jihadist attack in Burkina Faso,” AFP, June 28, 2022 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
Eight people in eastern Burkina Faso have been killed in an attack by suspected jihadists on a baptism party, a security source and a local resident said on Tuesday.
“A terrorist attack” in the village of Sandiaga in Koulpelogo province “left eight civilians dead”, the security source said.
The toll was confirmed by a local resident, who said armed men burst into a baptism ceremony on Monday morning and opened fire.
On Sunday, six people died and two were injured in two villages in the northern province of Bam when carts carrying women were hit by roadside bombs, another security source said.
The landlocked Sahel state, one of the world’s poorest countries, is in the grip of a nearly seven-year-old jihadist insurgency.
Thousands of people have died and nearly two million have been driven from their homes….

“suspected jihadists on a baptism party,” The usual “suspects.” And who else but mozlum terrorists would do such a thing as to raid a group of people engaging in a peaceful act, baptism, to murder them?
mozlums are carrying out the devil’s desires, as his obedient children.
Walter Sieruk says
Those jihadists by they of Hamas and ISIS or of some other similar Islamic terror./murder organization , all they are able to do in inflict bloodshed misery death and destruction’
Such awful and evil men are nothing new or original ,they have a history that goes back as far as to ancient times.
For example the Bible describes such horrible men . For it reads “Their feet are swift to shed blood; destruction and misery are in their ways; and the way of peace they have not known.”
Romans 3: 15-17. [N.K.J.V.]

Burkina Faso: Muslims storm baptism ceremony and open fire, murdering eight people
……………………….
*Just horrifying*, these poor people–and this was *a baptism*. Did they murder the baby, as well?
somehistory says
I didn’t see any thing about a “baby,”…some people get baptized as adults. Like Jesus and those who followed Him. One example: the Ethiopian eunuch.

I know of a young missionary couple with small children who are currently serving in Burkina Faso. I think of them when I read about these horrific Islamic terror assaults.
