Nigeria: At Least 16 Killed After Muslim Gunmen Attack Villages, Numerous Homes Destroyed

03/06/2014 8 comments

For peaceful purposes …

Acts 14:22b, “… we must through much tribulation enter into the kingdom of God.”

Christian Today – “Armed gunmen believed to be Muslim Fulani herdsmen have attacked a cluster of villages in Plateau state, killing 16 Christians and destroying numerous homes, Christian leaders said.

According to a story by Morning Star News, the assailants, reportedly dressed in military camouflage, shot randomly as they struck Torok, Gwon, Gwarim, Gwareng and Rim villages in Rim District of the Riyom Local Government Area west of Jos.

Musa Gunduma Dang of Gwon village said they killed his mother, wife, four children and three other relatives.

‘They shot sporadically and set my house ablaze, killing all members of my family, and the entire village has been destroyed,’ Dang said.

Daniel Bitrus Manjang, a pastor with the Church of Christ in Nations (COCIN), told Morning Star News the attacks were ‘very tragic’.

‘About 200 houses were burned, and 16 Christians were killed,’ said Manjang, a resident of Rim.

About 10 years ago Manjang lost his father, Rev Bitrus Manjang, a former COCIN vice president, to a similar attack in Rim village, he said.

Rev Patrick Kim, COCIN pastor in Gwarim, told Morning Star News by phone that the Muslim attackers invaded the villages at about 4pm, killing and destroying until 12:30am.

The church leaders said two worship sanctuaries and residences of two COCIN pastors were among the buildings set ablaze.

They said it was the second such attack in the district in less than a week, as Muslim Fulani herdsmen killed two other Christians in Diyan late last week.” Read more.

Flashback: Muslim Group: ‘Christianity Should Be Destroyed And Wiped From The Face Of The Earth’, It Is ‘Evil’ and ‘Demonic’ – “A Muslim group has released its plan to ‘wipe Christianity from the face of the earth,’ Islamize the West and establish an Islamic system of world government – placing those who resist ‘under a police state.’… ‘Islamic Power has returned upon the face of the earth and the Revived Global Caliphate has set eyes on the West to once and for all rid the world of Christianity and there is nothing you can do about it,’ al-Mohammedi said. He makes his objective clear.” Read more.

Flashback: Sen. Rand Paul Shames Media For Ignoring Islam’s ‘Worldwide War On Christianity’ – “Senator Rand Paul noted in a speech today at the Values Voter Summit that ‘Pew Research did a poll and it indicated that 21% of Egyptians, 15% of Jordanians … 13% of Pakistani Muslims find terrorism acceptable, if not laudable… [I]f you add up the numbers in just three countries it’s over 40 million Muslims [who] sympathize with violence against Christians. This shouldn’t be understated.’ And indeed, if between just 10% and 13% of Muslims all across the Muslim world are devoted enough to their ‘prophet’ and to Islam, that’s about 200 million antichrist soldiers ready to raise the banner of jihad for the cause of ‘Allah’ and his ‘prophet’ against a world of non-Muslims. Where have we heard that number before?” Read more.

Exposing Islam: Muhammad Had No Assurance of Salvation (Nor Does Any Muslim Believer)

03/05/2014 2 comments

Qur’an Sura 46:8-9, “Or do they say, ‘He has forged it’? Say: ‘If I have forged it, you have no power to help me against Allah. He knows very well what you are pressing upon; He suffices as a witness between me and you; He is the All-forgiving, the All-compassionate.’ Say: ‘I am not an innovation among the Messengers, and I know not what shall be done with me or with you. I only follow what is revealed to me; I am only a clear warner.'”

“By Allah, though I am the Apostle of Allah, yet I do not know what Allah will do to me.” – The “Prophet” Mohammed, Hadith, Bukhari, Volume 5, Book 58, Number 266.

Unless you’re killed while killing others through violent Jihad in the cause of “Allah” and the prophet of death, of course. More signs that Islam is nothing but a false religion. As I ask at the end of “A Few Simple Questions For Muslim Visitors“, in light of the fact that even Mohammed himself did not know for certain what would happen to him in the afterlife, why should I — or any other Christian who knows beyond a doubt that they are guaranteed eternal life through faith in the Jesus of the Bible — give up the Christian faith of Jesus for the Islamic faith of Mohammed which we know will guarantee us nothing? …

By David Wood, Answering Muslims – “Muslims regularly pray for Allah to bless Muhammad with peace. But why would Muhammad be affected by the prayers of Muslims? The reason is that, according to Islam, even Muhammad didn’t know what Allah would do to him after he died (Quran 46:9). But if Muhammad himself had no assurance of salvation, what hope is there for his followers?” Source – Answering Muslims.

Another Day, Another Islamic Massacre: Jihadists Outgun Nigerian Military, Murder 32 In Fresh Attack

03/05/2014 1 comment

Hadith, Bukhari 2977, “I have been made victorious with terror” – The “Prophet” Of Islam, Mohammed

By Robert Spencer, Jihad Watch – “Another day, another jihad massacre in Nigeria. This follows the jihad murder of 39 people in Mainok on Saturday, and the mass murder in a Maiduguri market that same day. These ongoing jihad mass murder attacks show how truly monstrous is the entire ‘Islamophobia’ mythmaking industry, and ‘Islamophobia’ seminars such as the one last week at Georgetown University: cosseted academics sit in oaken meeting rooms in prestigious universities discussing supposed hatred of Islam, never bothering even to mention that every day, innocent people are being murdered because of Islam’s doctrine of jihad, and doing all they can to demonize and marginalize those who are calling attention to these atrocities and their root causes. The result will be inevitable: more jihad murders.

Boko Haram leader Abubakar Shekau put it succinctly: ‘The reason why I will kill you is you are infidels… we must establish Islam in this country.’ But as the jihad body count rises, Daniel Varisco and John Esposito (and Reza Aslan and his gunsel Nathan Lean, and Nihad Awad and Ibrahim Hooper, and 1000 others) will just speak even more loudly about the need to silence all criticism of Islam and end all counter-terror initiatives. The blood, quite obviously, is on their hands.

‘Nigeria bloodshed continues with 32 dead,’ from the Associated Press, March 3 (thanks to Lookmann):

MAIDUGURI, Nigeria (AP) — After a weekend of violence, officials say 32 people were killed in an attack on the northern Nigerian village of Mafa Sunday night, after soldiers fled the area, outgunned by suspected Islamist insurgents.

Thatched roofs were set ablaze as gunmen rolled into town shooting at about 8 p.m., witnesses say. All homes, shops and government buildings were destroyed. Senator Ahmed Zannah says two police officers were also killed in a bomb blast early Monday, as they attempted to rescue other victims.

The destruction comes after bombings and shootouts on Saturday evening in Borno State, Nigeria that killed nearly 100 people.

Zannah says a week before the attack most Mafa residents fled their homes after leaflets were dropped in the village, warning of imminent danger. He said seven soldiers in Borno are also believed to be missing.

Flashback: The Jerusalem Post: Radical Islam Is, In Truth, The Normative Islam – “Great article, please read it in full. It is worth repeating that when it comes to the ‘Religion of Peace’ many still attempt to create a dichotomy of ‘good Islam’ verses ‘bad Islam’ when, in reality, all of Islam is inherently violent and destructive. Although there are Muslims who are peaceful, they are not peaceful because of their religion. They are peaceful in spite of it. Unfortunately, this is one fact that intellectually and politically atrophied leaders in the West all too often make a concerted effort to willingly ignore …” Read more.

It’s Open Season On Christians In Libya

03/05/2014 2 comments

John 15:18, 21, “If the world hates you, you know that it hated Me before it hated you… all these things they will do to you for My name’s sake, because they do not know Him who sent Me.”

Raymond Ibrahim – “It’s open season on Coptic Christians in Libya.

A few days after seven Copts were identified as Christians, pulled out of their homes by ‘unknown gunmen’ and taken out and executed in Jarutha, some 20 miles west of Benghazi (see here for graphic pictures), Egyptian Copts are still being singled out and killed.

This comes after the Islamic jihadi group, Ansar al-Sharia — which appears connected to Egypt’s now ousted Muslim Brotherhood — offered a reward to any Benghazi resident who helps them round up and execute the nation’s few Christians, according to Egyptian human rights groups.

Yesterday another body was found, believed to be that of a Copt — due to the small cross tattooed on his wrist traditionally worn by Copts, not least to identify themselves.

And the day before that, another Coptic Christian, Salama Fawzi, 24, was shot at, including in the head, while he was unloading food in front of his grocery stand in Benghazi by several ‘unknown gunmen’; he is currently in critical condition.

Under Col. Gaddafi, many Copts migrated to Libya looking for work opportunities.  However, since the dictator was ousted — and sodomized and murdered, to gleeful laughter by Hillary Clinton — Christians have been under attack there, from the arrest, torture, and killing of Christians accused of ‘proselytizing,’ to the bombing and burning of churches in the north African nation, evincing the true nature of the U.S-supported ‘Arab Spring’ takeover of Libya.” Source – Raymond Ibrahim.

Qur’an Sura 9:29-30, “Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day … nor acknowledge the religion of [Islam], even if they are of the People of the Book … the Christians say: The Messiah is the son of Allah; these are the words of their mouths; they imitate the saying of those who disbelieved before; may Allah destroy them …”

France: Muslim Men Savagely Beat Jew On Paris Metro Train

03/05/2014 2 comments

For peaceful purposes. But don’t worry, this violent attack probably had absolutely nothing to do with Islam, either

Hadith, Tabari 7:97, “The morning after the murder of Ashraf, the Prophet declared, ‘Kill any Jew who falls under your power.’”

The Times of Israel – “Four unidentified Arab men savagely beat a French Jew in a Paris Metro train, a watchdog organization reported.

The attack happened Sunday as the train was traveling from Nogent Sur Marne to Gare de Lyon, according to the National Bureau for Vigilance Against Anti-Semitism, or BNVCA.

Two of the attackers held down the 28-year-old victim, who was identified only as A. Levy, while a third strangled him and beat his face, BNVCA said on its website Monday. The report said Levy sustained some injuries but did not specify.

His attackers shouted the Arab word for ‘Jews’ before attacking Levy, who is a religious Jew belonging to the Chabad-Lubavitch movement, the report said. One of them also told him: ‘Jew, we are going to lay into you, you have no country,’ according to the report.

They stopped assaulting Levy after one of the passengers said loudly that the police were coming, according to BNVCA.

The suspected attackers got off the Metro at the Chatelet-les Halles station in the heart of the French capital. Levy stayed on the train and filed a police complaint for aggravated assault at Gare de Lyon, the report said.

On Sunday, the SPCJ monitor unit of the French Jewish community reported in its annual summary that it had recorded 423 anti-Semitic incidents in France during 2013. The figure constitutes a 31-percent decrease over the previous year, but is still eight percent higher than in 2011.” Source – The Times of Israel.

Hadith, Sahih Muslim, 41:6985, “The Day of Judgement will not come about until Muslims fight the Jews, when the Jew will hide behind stones and trees. The stones and trees will say O Muslims, O Abdullah, there is a Jew behind me, come and kill him …”

According to France’s Bureau for Vigilance against Anti-Semitism, several teenagers ‘of African and North African origins’ attacked the group of Jewish 13-year-olds from the Ner HaThorah Jewish school on Thursday. There were no serious injuries. The attackers asked the Jews to stop ‘occupying the area,’ the report said, called them ‘dirty Jews’ and said ‘Hitler didn’t finish the job.’” Read more.

Brunei: Non-Muslims Who Share Their Faith To Face $20,000 Fine And 5+ Years In Prison

03/04/2014 Leave a comment

But women can still drive and Christians can still wear crosses and display them in their homes. For now …

1 Corinthians 1:18, “For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.”

Borneo Post – “Non-Muslims in the Sultanate are allowed to wear their respective symbols of faith such as the crucifix, rosary or other religious paraphernalia in their vehicles or homes, said the Deputy Syariah Prosecutor yesterday during a special briefing on the Syariah Penal Code Order 2013 that was held at the Philippine Embassy in Jln Kebangsaan, ©BRUDIRECT.COM reported.

‘It is stated in the constitution that we give freedom for non-Muslims to practice their faith among themselves, in the allocated premises without being threatened by authorities’ added Hjh Fatimah Awg Hj Ahmad, Deputy Syariah Prosecutor from the Islamic Law Unit, Ministry of Religious Affairs (MoRA).

This was one of many questions raised by Filipino community members living in the Sultanate since they are the biggest non-Muslim expatriates in the country that actively practicing their faith.

Hjh Fatimah however reminded that spreading any religion other than Islam in Brunei is considered as a propagation of religion other than Islam to a Muslim or person without beliefs or in similar context. A hefty fine of BND$20,000 will be imposed together with a jail sentence of not less than five years on those found guilty.

Another question raised was on the issue of whether women will be prohibited from driving under the new Order, to which the Deputy Syariah Prosecutor replied ‘No’. She proceeds to explain that the authorities understand women in the Sultanate drive for a valid reason, saying that ‘we are not going that far, we understand that women (in Brunei) must drive whether to go to work, to pick up their children and other things. We are not going to say women should not drive, we are not that extreme. Women will continue to drive in Brunei’.

The idea that women should not be allowed to drive was first suggested by a person named ‘Jaya’ (assumed to be a pseudonym) who wrote a letter to Saturday 22 2014 edition of Borneo Bulletin for the Opinion section. In the letter, he asserted that women must not drive alone and that our youths are going wet and wild listening to Western music. When his suggestion first surfaced on the social media, it was negatively received by many people, with a few individuals pointing out that such prohibition does not exist anywhere in Al-Quran, hadith, and Islam in general.

Another key topic discussed was segregation between non-Muslims men and women in places such as staff living quarters; a common practice by employers as well as at public establishments such as cinemas, restaurants and even public transportation.

‘As of now there is no prohibition’, said Hjh Fatimah …” Read more.

Sudanese Cleric: Death And Destruction In The Name Of Allah Leads To Order, Not To Chaos

03/04/2014 1 comment

Ecclesiastes 9:18, “Wisdom is better than weapons of war; but one sinner destroys much good.”

In this fallen world, sometimes the restoration of peace and freedom inevitably necessitates a “just” war. Nonetheless, because we value human life we must declare even these reluctantly, wisely, and only in response to an aggressive enemy. In Islam, however, war against non-Muslims is necessitated even in the midst of relative peace. It must be willingly sought, not in response to any real act of aggression, but in response to the call of a religion that values death in the cause of “Allah” above all else. In darkened minds such as these, peace absent from Islam is absent of peace and is the mandate upon which a perpetual state of war must exist, one that is incumbent upon all Muslims everywhere to fight …

Qur’an Sura 4:76a, “Those who believe [in Islam] fight in the cause of Allah …”

Hadith, Sahih Muslim 1:33a, “The Messenger of Allah [Mohammed] said: ‘I have been commanded to fight against people till they testify that there is no god but Allah, that Mohammad is the messenger of Allah, and they establish [Islamic] prayer …”

Sudanese Cleric Sheik Muhammad Ali Al-Jazouli, 1/31/2014 – “Allah said: ‘Fight them until there is no more strife and Allah’s religion prevails.’ The purpose of Jihad is to prevent strife. Jihad is not strife. Allah says that if not for Jihad, there would be chaos… Allah says that Jihad brings order. The shedding of the blood of infidels [non-Muslims] is for the sake of purification and security… The killing of an infidel, the bombing of an embassy, the killing of US diplomats, or the killing of Rafidite Shiites do not constitute chaos. These are great, noble, and blessed steps towards order…” Watch more backwardness below.

UK: Muslims Account For 4% Of British Population, Yet Are 200 Times More Likely To Commit Sex Crimes

03/04/2014 7 comments

Revelation 9:21, “And they did not repent of their murders … or their sexual immorality …”

The Muslim Issue – “These numbers, that Muslims who consist of only 4% of the UK population have 200 times the number of sexual perpetrators than any other group, is only a small number of the actual reality. It only represents cases that have come to light. The more cases that are prosecuted, the higher that number goes.

Michael Coren interviews UK’s mosque buster Gavin Body on Muslim child pimping in the UK, a rampant and widespread crime taking place all across the country that has been covered up and protected by local Muslim politicians and Muslim police officers. This is why Muslims should never be allowed in any form of government position. In fact, immigrants in general from poor and corrupt countries that adhere to ideologies completely contrary to human rights regulations should never be allowed in any form of government employment.

A miniscule number of Muslims speak out against child pimping in the UK. And out of an (unofficial) population of around 5 million Muslims not a single Muslim have formed organizations to combat the issue full on. But don’t you dare talking about the facts or you’ll be branded an Islamophobe.

From the YouTube account:

Alibhai-Brown illustrates her point by zeroing in on this sentence by Berelowitz & co.:

‘Perpetrators come from all ethnic groups, and so do their victims — contrary to what some may wish to believe.’ In response to which Alibhai-Brown offers this comment: ‘Yes, we know they come from all backgrounds. But that rather cutting second line is directed at people like me who believe that in some British cities — especially in the North of England — circles of sexual hell for young girls are run by gangs of Muslim men (most of Pakistani or Bangladeshi heritage) who mostly prey on white girls….To generalise their crimes, and lump them in with all the other abusers across the country, is to deny what the victims of these men and their families are saying about the abuse that has gone on.’

Indeed. Of course, the OCC’s statement about perpetrators coming ‘from all ethnic groups’ is yet another example of the handy PC dodge whereby the link between Islam and pretty much any of its more horrific aspects can be swept away by means of a simple rhetorical formula.

For example:

‘Honor killings occur in a wide range of religions.’ Or: ‘Female genital mutilation is not an exclusively Islamic phenomenon.’

Or: ‘The practice of forced marriages is not restricted to Muslim families.’

All true — and all cynically designed to avoid the uncomfortable statistical reality, and to protect the speaker from being accused of racism or Islamophobia. (It’s no surprise that ITV’s brief online account of the OCC report actually made that insipid truism its headline: ‘Report: Child exploiters ‘come from all ethnic groups.’’)

‘The report,’ notes Alibhai-Brown, ‘points out that Read more…

Unending: Dozens Murdered As Islamic Militants Destroy Entire Nigerian Village, ‘They Started Shooting Everywhere’

Revelation 6:8, “And I looked, and behold a [chlōros – green] horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts [thērion – savage, brutal, bestial men] of the earth…”

For the glory of “Allah” and the prophet of death. This wanton murder and mayhem is at the point today where it is near impossible for most of us to keep track of all the death and destruction. But there is One who is keeping record of every last detail …

Revelation 20:11, 13-14a, “And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them… And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works. And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire …”

BBC News – “Suspected militants have shot dead at least 39 people in an attack on a village in north-eastern Nigeria.

The attackers – believed to be from the Boko Haram group – destroyed the entire village of Mainok, about 50km (30 miles) west of the city of Maiduguri.

The incident took place late on Saturday, hours after two bomb blasts killed at least 50 people in Maiduguri.

Boko Haram has been conducting a four-year violent campaign to demand Islamic rule in northern Nigeria.

The morning after the latest attack, bodies were lying in front of the mosque waiting to be buried and buildings in Mainok were still on fire, the BBC’s Will Ross reports from Lagos.

An eyewitness described how the attack unfolded: ‘They started shooting everywhere, they started burning all the houses in the village.

‘I don’t think that there is any house that is standing in the village and they have killed at least 39 people in the village.

‘These people have guns – AK47, RPGs and so on and so forth, they can come and attack anybody and kill, including women and children, they kill everybody that can see them.’

Earlier two bombs exploded in a densely populated area of Maiduguri – a city which Boko Haram has often targeted.” Read more.

Nigeria: At Least 51 Killed After Islamists Detonate Twin Car Bombs In Maiduguri

03/02/2014 1 comment

There’s no indication at this time as to who was targeted specifically, but there is little doubt that both Muslims and Christians are among the dozens of dead and wounded, for peaceful purposes …

Associated Press – “Twin car bomb blasts at a bustling marketplace killed at least 51 people in Maiduguri, the northeast Nigerian city that is the birthplace of the country’s Islamic extremist terrorist group, a Red Cross official said Sunday.

Many more people are believed buried in rubble from the Saturday night explosions that collapsed some buildings and set others aflame with smoke billowing for hours, said the official, a resident who worked at the scene through the night but insisted on anonymity because he is not authorized to speak to reporters.

The victims include children dancing at a wedding celebration and people watching a soccer match at an outdoor cinema, survivors told The Associated Press on Sunday.

Fifty corpses were retrieved, said Hassan Ali, leader of an anti-terror vigilante group.

The first blast came from a pickup truck carrying firewood and did not cause many casualties, said Ali. Most of those killed had run to the scene to help when a second explosion blasted from a passenger car, he said.

Survivors said they captured a man who jumped out of the car, grabbed a tricycle taxi and tried to make off. He was badly beaten and taken to nearby Umaru Shehu General Hospital, where a security guard said all the wounded brought in had died. Most survivors insisted on anonymity for fear of reprisals.

Some bodies were blown apart, said market trader Mallam Sumaila.

… criticism and anger have grown as attacks have increased and become ever deadlier: More than 300 people were killed in February alone in the neighboring states of Adamawa and Yobe. Outnumbered soldiers are accused of abandoning checkpoints and leaving civilians at the mercy of extremists in two attacks last week that killed about 100 people, including one on a high school.” Read more.

Iranian Prez To Generals: ‘Formulate One’s Sentences And Speeches In A Way That Is Not Construed As Threat’

03/02/2014 1 comment

Not misconstrued. Whether explicit or implied, their words are always threatening and/or deceptive, even when they appear anything but. For peaceful purposes …

Hadith, Al Bukhari 4.268, “Allah’s Prophet [Mohammed] said, ‘War is deceit.’”

By Robert Spencer, Jihad Watch – “This speech will shore up Rowhani’s reputation as a ‘moderate’ in the international media, but essentially he is just telling the generals, Tone it down, the Infidels are catching on. And indeed, Iranian spokesmen have been indulging in quite a bit of virulently hostile rhetoric toward the U.S. recently, belying the media and Obama administration insistence that Iran is ‘moderate’ now. Note that Rowhani says here: ‘We must be very careful in our calculations. Launching missiles and staging military exercises to scare off the other side is not good deterrence, although a necessity in its proper place.’ He does not, in other words, say ‘We must be very careful in our calculations. Launching missiles and staging military exercises to scare off the other side is not good moderate foreign policy, and completely contradicts the spirit of our new peace agreement with the U.S.’

Rowhani himself has dropped the mask at least once. Remember his tweet, later deleted: ‘Our relationship w/ the world is based on Iranian nation’s interests. In #Geneva agreement world powers surrendered to Iranian nation’s will.’

‘Rowhani to Iran generals: cut hostile rhetoric,’ from Al Arabiya, March 1:

President Hassan Rowhani urged Iran’s military leaders on Saturday to let diplomacy prevail in dealing with potential foreign threats, in a clear reference to efforts to end the nuclear dispute and decades of hostile relations with the West, Reuters reported.

“It is very important to formulate one’s sentences and speeches in a way that is not construed as threat, intention to strike a blow,” Reuters quoted Rowhani as saying in a meeting with Iran’s top military echelon.

“We must be very careful in our calculations. Launching missiles and staging military exercises to scare off the other side is not good deterrence, although a necessity in its proper place,” the official IRNA news agency quoted him as saying.

He added: “A misfire could burst into flames and wreak havoc to everything.” Read more…
