“What is happening now is that they are trying to destabilise people from their villages and settlements and occupy them…”
This sort of thing has happened the world over. It’s how what is now known as the Islamic world was formed.
“Suspected Fulani Herdsmen Invade Benue Communities, Kill 18 Children, Others,” Sahara Reporters, November 4, 2022:
No fewer than 18 persons including children have been killed by suspected Fulani armed herdsmen who invaded four communities in the Guma Local Government Area of Benue State….
The Chairman of Guma LGA, Mike Ubah, confirmed the attack.
He identified one of the victims as Mr Ikpuku Jembe I Nyev, the Ortese youth leader.
He said, “My people at Ukohol were attacked by armed herders and killed about 10 people. The worst of it all is that they even killed children below the age of two years.
“They didn’t stop at that point but went to three villages/settlements around and killed another eight making it a total of 18. Ten at the market, eight in the villages when they (herders) were returning….
“It was a market day, they went there and started shooting. What is happening now is that they are trying to destabilise people from their villages and settlements and occupy them and graze in them at night….

“It’s how what is now known as the Islamic world was formed.”
If I had to encapsulate in just one sentence all the writings on Islam by Robert Spencer, respecting whom people who cherish such great things as freedom and truth should be deeply grateful, I believe it would be this sentence quoted above. Kinda’ says it all about Islam. And may I extend a profound gratitude to Robert Spencer who has done as much as any single human being can do to expose to the world what Islam is really about, what it intends for all of humanity.

‘fulani herdsmen”…translates into ‘mozlum terrorists” or in other words, sons of satan, carrying out their father’s desires. Snakes, all of them.

A commenter on the Sahara Reporters source, implies that the victims are Ibo, therefore, as I understand, Christian..
I note that part of Benue state is in the old region of Biafra, ca 400/500 miles south of the Sahel.

Why is it that people could see Nazism for the evil it was, but seem blinkered about Islam? Or is there a bit of racism at work, such that they expect non-Europeans to be barbarous, but are shocked into responding when it is a European country? Actually, Nazism is a good comparison, because both Hitler and Mohammed were guided by spiritualism – one of the hadiths states that the spirit who dictated the Koran crushed Mohammed’s chest, a classic sign of trance mediumship, and certainly not something that occurs in biblical angelic encounters.
