“Against them make ready your strength to the utmost of your power, including steeds of war, to strike terror into the hearts of the enemies of Allah and your enemies…” (Qur’an 8:60)
The “herdsmen” are Fulanis, who are Islamic jihadis working to impose Sharia.
“Gunmen invaded our village, chopped off my left hand, shot my parents dead — 14 year-old victim,” by Uja Emmanuel, The Nation (Nigeria), October 8, 2022:
For the inhabitants of Mchia community in Logo Local Government Area, Benue State, Wednesday, September 22, 2022 will for long be remembered as a day that brought tears to many families in the community.
This followed a deadly attack by some gunmen which left about 15 people dead with 18 others receiving serious injuries….
Among them was 14-year-old Tersoo Uhange, a secondly school student who recalled that he had gone to bed around 8 pm on the faithful [sic] night….
Scared by the continued sound of gunshots, he made his way out of the room in a bid to escape only to find himself surrounded by some gun-wielding men.
One of the gunmen, he said, grabbed him by his trouser while another chopped off his left hand with a big knife. They also inflicted another injury on the face and abandoned him in the bush while it rained.
He would woke up later to find himself on the hospital bed where he told that his father and mother were killed by the attackers.
He said: “Those who attacked me and chopped off my hand were herdsmen. They had attempted to attack our community more than three times before they finally succeeded on September 22….

Nigeria: Muslims invade village, amputate hand of 14-year-old boy, murder his parents
……………………………….
This *poor boy* and his family. God, I hate Islam.
Wellington says
I hate Islam too, gravenimage, and I also hate excuse making for Islam, whether by Muslims or non-Muslims. Might as well excuse Nazism as excuse Islam.

Not “gun men” and not “herds men”….because they are not men. they are snakes, working their father’s desire to “steal, kill and destroy.”
The poor child and his poor family. and all the others slaughtered by the scummy dross of humankind. And there will be no justice from the government because the government is on the side of the murderers.

Somehistory,
Not a day goes without gory scenes of butchery etc. in Nigeria. The world has become so numb even as islam tries to spread its tentacles across the world. On the one hand it is crumbling under its own weight like a pack of cards in Iran, the thugs of islam continue their free run to kill and maim innocents to display the hegemony/”power” of islam and also take pride in it. Islamists like Er-dog brag about islam being mean to the dirty Kuffar.
Is islam rocket science that the elites of the world cannot understand or is it too evil to be called out?
Fitna says
Good post Raja.
Part of the problem is that there is a media blackout on Islam. They refuse to talk about it, either because it’s not PC or the elites don’t want people to know or the Muslims have been meddling with news organizations getting them to self-censor.
The other problem is straight up cowardice. Nobody wants to confront this evil ideology for fear of a gang of armed Muslims showing up at their door.
However ultimately this is the government’s responsibility because only they have the power to truly stop Islam. We need to elect politicians that are not afraid to deal with Islam head on.
Most nations are ruled by weaklings and traitors, some of them have been bought out by rich Arabs, so it’s an uphill fight for non-Muslims.

Raja,
I believe that they hate Christians nearly as much as those who slaughter and maim and rape, but they can sit back and allow muzlum thugs to do the heavy work. If they are not in agreement, they are in fear.

The communities in Nigeria need to establish well-trained armed guards after being attacked 3 times. They should at least be able to track and neutralize attackers in every terrorist attack. Maybe even form a militia. Otherwise, the problem with those murdering jihad “herdsmen” continues. I suspect that some Islamist’s in the Nigerian government are part of it, as nothing is being done to stop the horror.

Nigerian Christians should fight back and all of them should have weapons at home

So sad, I feel a lot for this kid, who lost his parents. Hope some kind people will look after this boy.
