Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Ethiopia: Muslims murder over 500 Christians since June, including pregnant women, children and whole families

Sep 5, 2020 3:00 pm By Robert Spencer

“As of 27 August, Barnabas contacts say the ‘targeted genocide’ of Christians by the extremists is continuing in the south, south-east and east of Addis Ababa.” But no one cares, because the international media narrative is that Muslims are always victims and Christians are always perpetrators. This information doesn’t fit that template, and so will […]

Ethiopia: Muslim leader calls for beheading of Christians, then two pastors beheaded

Nov 15, 2019 11:00 am By Robert Spencer

“When you meet the unbelievers, strike the necks…” (Qur’an 47:4) Not that this has anything to do with… “Two pastors beheaded as violence against Christians flares in Ethiopia,” Barnabas Fund, November 11, 2019: Two Ethiopian pastors have been beheaded in Sebeta, near the capital Addis Ababa, in an outburst of violence against Christians at the […]

Ethiopia: Muslims plotted jihad massacres in public areas, religious events and hotels

Sep 28, 2019 2:00 pm By Robert Spencer

Several days, when I posted this news item about churches being burned in Ethiopia, I was swarmed by Ethiopians and others on Twitter, telling me that I was an enemy of all that is good, warning me to “stay out of Ethiopia” — hey, no problem there — and claiming that there wasn’t really a […]

Ethiopia: “Islamic extremism has been growing,” and now churches are being burned down all over the country

Sep 19, 2019 4:00 pm By Robert Spencer

Coincidence? Maybe. But “Islamic extremism has been growing in Ethiopia and has been a concern for many analysts in the region. Money from the Gulf region has been pouring into the country building mosques, [Islamic] schools, and introducing the Wahabi form of Islam to Ethiopian Muslims since the early 2000s.” What is likely to happen […]

Ethiopia: Muslim mobs screaming “Allahu akbar” attack 10 church buildings

Mar 2, 2019 9:00 am By Robert Spencer

Imagine the outcry that would ensue of enraged Christian mobs screaming “Jesus is Lord” attacked ten mosques. But of course, that kind of thing never happens, and shouldn’t. If it did, the outcry would be immediate, intense, and sustained. But the international media will take little or no notice of this. “Muslim Mobs Attack 10 […]

Ethiopia: Muslims murder 15 Christian priests, torch ten churches

Aug 23, 2018 4:59 pm By Robert Spencer

Will the Islamophobia never end? Imagine if Christians had murdered fifteen imams and torched ten mosques. The international outcry would be immediate and prolonged. But no one will take any particular note of this, except perhaps to cancel the credit cards of those who dare to report about it. “Ethiopian PM sends condolences to Orthodox […]

UK: Convicted London Tube jihad bomber’s accomplice hired as Labour Council “Poster Girl”

Oct 12, 2017 8:57 am By Christine Douglass-Williams

Mulumebet Girma rose through housing department ranks after London’s Southwark Council failed to uncover her criminal past, despite her being in one of the UK’s highest-profile terror trials. Girma’s colleagues “failed to realise she was linked to one of the country’s most notorious attacks.” In other words, despite the fact that “details of her convictions […]

Ethiopia: Muslims attack Christian with machetes for proselytizing

Aug 1, 2017 4:43 pm By Robert Spencer

“The man – who, for security reasons, cannot be named – was attacked in Hirna…” He cannot be named because if Muslims find out who he is, some will try to kill him again. Islamic law forbids non-Muslims to proselytize among Muslims on pain of death. “Ethiopian Christian attacked with machetes for evangelising,” World Watch […]

Ethiopia: “Her clothes were covered with blood…Her husband was shouting that she should die for forsaking Islam”

Sep 22, 2016 10:04 am By Robert Spencer

“They wish you would disbelieve as they disbelieved so you would be alike. So do not take from among them allies until they emigrate for the cause of Allah. But if they turn away, then seize them and kill them wherever you find them and take not from among them any ally or helper.” (Qur’an […]

Ethiopia jails 18 Muslims for plotting to create an Islamic state in the country

Aug 5, 2015 3:51 am By Robert Spencer

The Muslims who have been convicted are claiming that it was all unjust, a “kangaroo court,” that the government was railroading them for decrying its interference in religious matters. In other words, they are claiming victim status. What a new, bold, original strategy. “Ethiopia jails 18 Muslims over alleged terror,” Associated Press, August 3, 2015: […]

Ethiopia: Muslim convert to Christianity told to murder pastors ‘or else’

Jun 7, 2015 7:38 am By Raymond Ibrahim

On April 25, police raided a Christian worship service in Asella just south of the Ethiopian capital, Addis Ababa. The Church of Asella had just baptized 40 new converts to Christianity, prompting mass arrests.   One of those imprisoned, a former Muslim who converted to Christianity known only as “Palus Ejigu,” said, “We were gathered […]

Ethiopia: Muslims forcibly building mosque on Christian land despite court ruling

May 29, 2015 3:43 am By Raymond Ibrahim

A Muslim mob in Deder, Ethiopia, attacked a Christian man and forced him out of his home on pain of death in an effort to appropriate his land and build a mosque on it—despite recent court rulings confirming the Christian man’s property rights. “Their first plan was to kill my husband,” said Fikere Mengistu’s wife.

Raymond Ibrahim: Europe Should Learn Ethiopia’s ‘Islam Lesson’

Dec 16, 2014 4:09 am By Raymond Ibrahim

[Via Veritas International Enterprise] Yet another Christian church was destroyed by Muslims in Ethiopia—this time by local authorities. Heaven’s Light Church, which served some 100 evangelical Christians, was demolished last November 28.  The church had stood and functioned in the Muslim-majority city of Harar for five years.  In the days preceding the destruction, officials forcibly […]

Muslims forcing closure and demolition of churches all over Ethiopia

Dec 9, 2014 6:53 pm By Robert Spencer

“Corrupt officials willing to defend their religion rather than the laws they’ve sworn to uphold, are violating Christians’ rights by forcibly closing, destroying and demolishing churches across Ethiopia.” Islamic law forbids non-Muslims to build new houses of worship or to repair old ones. It seems as if Muslims in Ethiopia, with help from corrupt officials, […]

Premature detonation in Ethiopia: Two jihad-martyrdom suicide bombers blow themselves up at football match, fail to murder anyone else

Oct 15, 2013 10:44 am By Robert Spencer

If they fail to kill others while being killed in the service of Allah, will they be able to claim the promise of Paradise that is given to those who “kill and are killed” for Allah (Qur’an 9:111)? “Suicide bombers die in failed plot at Ethiopia football match,” by Aaron Maasho for Reuters, October 14: […]

Ethiopia: Two Christians arrested for “crimes against Islam”

(International Christian Concern) — International Christian Concern (ICC) has learned that two Christian men were arrested in Ethiopia by local police influenced […]

Ethiopia: 29 Muslims charged with terrorism, working to establish Islamic republic

“Tensions” are increasing solely because of the actions of one side, of course. “Muslims in Christian-dominated Ethiopia rally on Fridays as tensions rise and arrests increase,” from the Associated Press, November 2: ADDIS ABABA, Ethiopia — As midday prayers came to an end at the Grand Anwar mosque in Ethiopia’s capital, worshippers continued on to […]

Ethiopia: Muslim mob murders four, burns down police station in rage over arrest of jihadist imam

Apr 30, 2012 9:05 pm By Robert Spencer

“A certain imam, an Islamic fundamentalist, had been trying to instigate jihad…” How is it that an imam, a man who had devoted his life to understanding the Religion of Peace, could misunderstand it so spectacularly as to think that jihad called for violence, and his followers could similarly misunderstand it enough to believe that […]

Spencer: Keepers of the Lost Ark

In Crisis Magazine today, my ongoing almost-nothing-to-do-with-jihad series on the Eastern Churches continues with “Keepers of the Lost Ark” on the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church and Ethiopian Christianity in general. Here is the bit that’s jihad-related: Today this Church, and the people who have so lovingly protected and preserved it for so many centuries, is […]
