“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).
“Christian Killed, Church Leader Kidnapped in Nigeria,” Morning Star News, September 13, 2022:
ABUJA, Nigeria (Morning Star News) – Suspected Fulani herdsmen on Sunday (Sept. 11) killed a Christian security guard as they abducted a pastor in central Nigeria and wounded the church leader’s wife, sources said.
James Ngyang, a member of the church led by Pastor Bung Fon Dong of the Church of Christ in Nations (COCIN), was killed in the attack at the residence of Pastor Dong on church premises in Ganawuri, Riyom County, Plateau state, said area resident Danjen Bagu Gang.
“Armed gunmen we believe are Fulani terrorists attacked Ganawuri and abducted the Rev. Bung Fon Dong alongside James Mann, who later escaped from the hands of the kidnappers,” Gang told Morning Star News in a text message. “The gunmen stormed the RCC [Regional Church Council] chairman’s residence, at about 10 p.m., shot and wounded the pastor’s wife, and killed one James Ngyang, a member of the church and security church worker, before they forcefully took away the pastor at gunpoint.”
On Monday (Sept. 12) the gunmen contacted the pastor’s family and demanded 20 million naira (US$46,650) for his release, Gang said, adding that Ngyang’s body was buried on that day….

this just keeps going on…the ‘president’ of the country is a fulani mozlum. his “herd” is slaughtering Christians because they are breathing and not converting to the evil filth from satan.

I was just searching the internet on topics like “Christian Militia in Nigeria” or “Christians murder Muslims in Nigeria”, etc., any kind of search that would show if this wasn’t just a mostly Muslim on Christian problem.
Finally I found an article using statistics from a Muslim group proving that Muslims were more likely to be victims in Nigeria than Christians. Four or five paragraphs down in that article the misleading nature of the article was revealed. The Muslims were actually just saying what I already knew, that the deaths of the Muslims were at the hands of Boko Haram. Big surprise. Muslims killing Muslims in Africa is one of the most underreported topics in the U.S. media. There really is no good reason for treating Muslims this way.

What saddens me about all this is, it’s never reported by msm here. muslims have been participating in the genocide of Christians in Nigeria for sometime now and we hear absolutely nothing on the TV or in the newspapers about it. If it wasn’t for likes of sites like JW, most of us would never get to hear about it.

John,
100% correct.
If you’re waiting to see an article like this in the New York Times, you’ll be waiting a long time.
