“The situation has been described as the world’s most neglected crisis.”
Why is it neglected? Because it doesn’t fit the narrative of the political elites and the establishment media, in which Muslims are never perpetrators, but always victims.
“‘They live with fear in their stomachs’: increasing violence deepens crisis in Burkina Faso,” Guardian, July 5, 2024 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
In a friend’s house in Bobo-Dioulasso, Burkina Faso’s second-largest city, Maimuona* remembers the night her son was born. “There were gunshots and everyone was running,” she says. Jihadists attacked her village, sending everyone scattering into the bush and causing Maimouna to go into labour early. Seydou was born by the side of a sandy road. His nickname is “the lucky one”.
In the two years since, the family have not been able to return home, displaced by an insurgency that has been simmering since 2014, killing thousands and pushing more than 2 million – almost 10% of the population – from their homes. The situation has been described as the world’s most neglected crisis.
The attackers, believed to be from one of the most active terror groups in the country, Jama’at Nusrat al-Islam wal-Muslimin (the Group for the Support for Islam and Muslims), burned houses and shops in Maimuona’s village in Nord region, and killed their goats and cows.
“Do you see the clothes we are wearing? We left with these on, we didn’t have time to grab anything,” says Maimuona, who is now living in the cramped home of her friend in the south-west Hauts-Bassins region, a relatively safe spot in the country, along with her husband, his other wife and their children. One child, Mamourou*, 13, was hit by a motorcycle during the escape. He now walks with a limp because they could not find him medical treatment for the injury….

No one is safe where mozlums feel no punishment will come to them; where they have weapons and the numbers to kill at will.
Where is the “support” for non-mozlums? Where is there a place for infidels to live with a measure of peace and freedom?
Is it any wonder that in places such as the U.S., Canada, U.K., islam is on the rise in the political arena? Once they are in position, then murderous raids will be the order of the day as it is in so many nations ruined by mozlum rule.

The Western MSM is disgraceful in sundry ways. I for one have developed complete contempt for it. But it is arguable, and I would be prepared to argue such, that the single greatest failing of the Western MSM is the almost utter silence it has engaged in about the murder of untold thousands of African Christians by Muslims over the past twenty years or more.
Shame on the Western MSM, indeed fake news as Donald Trump has mentioned innumerable times. Never more so than its abnegation of what has transpired on the African continent where, even going back to the creation of Biafra (1967-1970), it has ignorantly or deliberately looked the other way when Christians have been targeted and massacred by Muslims.
I despise Islam and I despise the Western MSM. I have every right to.

In 1965-1966, muslims killed between 500,000 to 1 million people (estimation) in Indonesia. The muslims mostly belonged to Nahdatul Ulama, an Islamic organization considered moderate. I guess, hardly anybody ever heard that.

I have never heard of it, that I can recall. I was still in my parent’s home in those days, so if it wasn’t something on the news they watched, I did not hear of it. Seeing how mozlums are, it is no surprise.
Thanks for the information.
