If one believes that the one true god has commanded such killing (cf. Qur’an 2:191, 4:89, 9:5), then to engage in it is a blessed act, and such killing would be a fitting gift to others who also believe it to be divinely commanded.
“Farewell Gifts To Buhari, Ors: 700 Christians Slaughtered In May, 1,100 In 60 Days And 2,150 In 160 Days Of 2023,” by Emeka Umeagbalasi, International Society for Civil Liberties and Rule of Law, June 12, 2023:
Fulani Jihadists Slaughtered 700 Christians As “Farewell Gifts” To Nigerian Radical Islamic Leaders
The Nigerian radical Islamic leaders who marked the end of their civilian office tenures on 29th May 2023 were wished “farewell” by Jihadist Fulani Herdsmen who marked the end of their office tenures by slaughtering not less than 700 defenseless Christians in May 2023 (month of handover). In a detailed investigation by the International Society for Civil Liberties and Rule of Law, it was gathered that not less than 300 Christians were slaughtered in Plateau State (Mangu county, etc) between 15th and 17th May 2023 alone. The second worst hit State is Benue where not less than 110 Christians were slaughtered in May-early June 2023 including 40 slaughtered between 3rd and 4th June 2023 and 18 defenseless Christians hacked to death on 21st May 2023 as well as 28 others slaughtered between 7th and 10th May 2023. In all, Benue State accounted for over 190 Christian deaths between 12th April and 12th June 2023.
The third worst hit State is Kaduna where not less than 100 Christians were slaughtered between 12th April and 12th June 2023. The out-gone Government of Kaduna State-backed killing of Christians as “farewell gifts” had included slaughtering of 33 Christians by Jihadist Fulani Herdsmen on 15th April 2023 in Runji village in Atyap, Zango Kataf LGA of Kaduna State, during which 42 houses were burned down or destroyed. Between March and April 2023, not less than 68 Christians were slaughtered in Atyap Land alone; with less than 10 Christian school children abducted on 4th April from Government Secondary School Avon in Kachia LGA of Kaduna State who were taken into Jihadists’ captivity. According to the Southern Kaduna Peoples’ Union (SOKAPU), not less than 245 Southern Kaduna communities have been sacked and violently occupied by Fulani Terror Jihadists in six years (2017-2023). In Nassarawa State, no fewer than 38 Christian residents of Takalafia and Gwanja communities in the Karu Local Government Area of the State were hacked to death by terror herdsmen who stormed the area on Thursday night (14th May 2023).
1,100 Christians Killed By Jihadists In 60 Days And 2,150 In First 160 Days Of 2023 (1st Jan-12th June)
Not less than 1,100 defenseless Christians were hacked to death by Nigerian Government backed Islamic Jihadists in the past 60 days or between 12th April and 12th June 2023; translating to daily average of 17 Christian deaths. The period under review also represents one of the bloodiest in anti Christian attacks in Nigeria. The breakdown of the 1,100 Christian deaths in 60 days (12th April-12th June 2023) shows that Plateau State is the worst hit with 350 Christian deaths, followed by Benue with 200 deaths, Kaduna 100 deaths, Nassarawa 62 deaths, Niger 50 deaths and ethnically and religiously related killings by the Police and Military personnel in the East 50 deaths. Others are Borno/Yobe with 40 Christian deaths, Taraba 40 deaths, Kebbi 20 deaths, South-West 20 deaths, South-East 20 deaths, Adamawa 10 deaths, South-South 10 deaths and FCT 10 Christian deaths. There are also 200 Christian deaths representing “dark figures of crimes” including over 80 Christian deaths omitted in places like Kaduna State, covering 1st January to 10th April 2023 and 10% (70 deaths) of the 700 abductees representing those abducted who are incapable of returning to their families alive. Also In two months gone by, not less than 700 Christians were abducted in Kaduna, Niger, Borno, Taraba, Yobe, Adamawa, Benue, Plateau, Kebbi, Nassarawa, Edo, Osun, Kwara, Kogi, FCT, Ondo, Delta, Enugu, Anambra and Abia States. In the 1,100 defenseless Christian deaths, Jihadist Fulani Herdsmen accounted for not less than 800 killings. We had in our mother Report of 10th April 2023,disclosed that 1,041 defenseless Christians were hacked to death in Nigeria in the first 100 days of 2023 or 1st Jan to 10th April 2023. In all, therefore, it has been investigated and found that a total of not less than 2,150 defenseless Christians have been slaughtered by non state actor/Nigerian Government backed Islamic Jihadists in the past 160 days or 1st Jan to 12th June 2023. Over 1,400 others were abducted; out of which 10% or 140 may be incapable of returning to their families alive. Kaduna State top the list of the abducted with at least 700, followed by Niger State with 300.

Available statistics showed that Nigerian Government protected Jihadists and its Jihad enabler security forces have sacked 1000 Christian communities since 2016 and aided and abetted their takeover and occupation by the Jihadists; out of which, Benue State lost 400 Christian communities, Kaduna 245, Plateau 200, Taraba 100 and South-East 60. Christian communities have also been uprooted in Borno, Yobe, Adamawa, Niger, Kogi, Nassarawa, Kebbi, Kastina, Edo, Delta, Anambra, Enugu, etc.

Churches in Adamawa State also came under attack including abduction of two pastors in Yola and attacks on churches on 24th May 2023. Several churches and hundreds of Christian homes had come under devastating attacks in Benue, Taraba, Borno, Yobe, Katsina, Zamfara, Nassarawa and Kogi States; totaling over 100 church attacks or burnings or destructions between 12th April and 12th June 2023….
John Smith says
It’s difficult to comprehend just how evil muslims can be. The more devout they are, the more evil they are, they are sick beyond belief.
somehistory says
I agree, John, It’s really a good thing that we cannot “comprehend” their evil; but just to recognize it for what it is. There is nothing evil which they won’t/don’t do.
We can be thankful to our God that we are not as they are.
࿗Infidel࿘ says
Not sure about that! They mistake any leniency as weakness. There is a reason that they behave themselves w/ the Russians and the Chicoms, vs how they behave w/ Europeans, Israelis or Indians
somehistory says
What I mean, is that we have limits on our behavior. Our conscience is trained to “do good,” and to “hate the bad.”
We don’t go about slaughtering others who don’t agree, we don’t go about raping or kidnapping to please our God, and we don’t do so many other things that mozlums are taught to do..
.this site has documented just about everything mozlums have found to do that sickens the rest of us.
But we don’t just give in; we have to be strong for what is right and good.
Reign says
Christian’s and Muslims do not worship the same god? Is god not one anymore? Also, will the slaughtered be thankful too?
gravenimage says
What Christianity and Islam teach about the nature of God could not be more different. Do you really believe that Christianity preaches mass murder, including of Christians?
somehistory says
The Bible says plainly, “there are many gods.’
There is the God of the Bible, Who Christians see as their God.
And there is satan, who has made many believe that he is the God of the Bible.
and, it is better to be killed because one is faithful to God, than to be a murderous slave to satan. There is a “large reward” for serving the One God faithfully. there is a large punishment for murdering innocent people.
So the answer to your mocking question is “yes.”
Caleb E Watson says
Exactly. This is equivalent to what happened to Jesus Christ & 1st-century Christians in Rome under Emperor Nero.
JimJFox says
So the Christian God is better than Allah? I think you know what I’m talking about… your OT God was not a good guy, with all that indiscriminate slaughter. How do Christians deal with the Old Testament, recalling that the reformed version (Jesus) stated clearly that he followed OT principles?
Just asking
OLD GUY says
It’s not just 700 Christians, it is 700 fathers, mothers and children killed because they are not ISLAMIC. And what are the supposed Christian nations doing about it? NOT MUCH.
Walter Sieruk says
The terrible information news leads to the importance of the need for a reiteration of the message that the violent and vicious Muslims who in their murderous persecution of Christians aren’t really going to get away with their destruction of Christians. As the apostle Paul had written each individual Christian is actually, in the View of God, a temple of God. For to Christians, it is written in the Bible “Don’t you know that that you yourselves are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit dwells in your midst? If anyone destroys God’s Temple, God will destroy that person; for God’s temple is sacred, and you together are that temple.” First Corinthians 3:16,17. [N.I.V.] As in “A man reaps what he sows.” Galatians 6:7.
Mostafa Abubakar says
And how many Muslims were killed in the south during that period, stop saying Muslims because these insurgency that is happening in the north is not done by the inhabitants of the region, it is rather done by the terrorists and the militants in the of Islam, and they are also a threat to the Muslims in the area not only christians. And also these acts they were doing has been condemned in Islam and whoever uses the word of Jihad for Killing innocent people should also be killed and is out of the religion. So stop stereotyping and generalizing Muslims on this. Muslims are not terrorists.
gravenimage says
Yes, Jihad is Islamic. And note that in Islam “innocent people” just refers to pious Muslims, *not* to Infidels. Try again.
Gurek says
Your dunged Qur’an generalizes and demonizes all non-Muslims and is still used to make the lives of Infidels horrible in Muslim countries including me. Also you claim that anyone who leaves Islam should be killed. Yes, you are a terrorist supporter.
