Muslim Mob Kills Six Christians In Ethiopia

The US-based human rights group International Christian Concern (ICC) has learned a mob of 300 Muslims killed six Christians in early October while 15 others were left seriously wounded by the attack during a midnight worship service in Beshasha, a town located in the Agaro province in Ethiopia.

On 14 October, a group of three hundred Muslims, carrying guns and knives approached the church where the Orthodox Christians were holding a midnight worship service. When the locked doors prevented the mob from entering the church they forced the congregation out of the church by pouring gasoline around the building.

The men of the church came out first and attempted to defend the men and women but because they had no real weapons in comparison to the guns and knives used against them they were attacked by the mob.

Fifteen individuals from the church suffered severe knife wounds and six people died as a result - two priests, two elderly women, and two men.

Two weeks later, the Ethiopian media announced that the police had arrested the leader of the massacre. But ICC warns that the violence against Christians continues to increase steadily despite the arrest.

It was only two weeks before the Beshasha massacre that another attack on Christians occurred in Jimma, Ethiopia because Muslims opposed Orthodox Christians celebrating the traditional Meskel holiday.

ICC warned that Muslims in the Horn of Africa are becoming increasingly radical and violent and are being urged to export that violence to surrounding countries.

This trend is almost certainly affecting Christians in Ethiopia, ICC said. The Union of Islamic Courts in Somalis recently called for Jihad against Ethiopia, appealing to Muslims of the Horn to rise up against anyone who would dare come against the religion of Allah.

ICC remains concerned as it warned that the tragic incident may only be a precursor of things to come as Muslims in Ethiopia, Kenya, and Tanzania are radicalised.

Religion of Peace strikes again. I suppose the world community will get right on this.

[Laptop_Ron]

Yes, the world community will get right on it...they'll condemn the Christians.

[alecqss]

And MSM will yawn at it - after all, just like "dog bites man", it's not news.

I'm afraid this will have to start happening here before Americans wake up. Unfortunately, by then, it will be too late.

[sageb1]

I truly hate Islam.

[KellyAdmirer]

How dare those Christians hold a midnight service. Don't they know that this offends the Great Wizard, I mean, the Great Allah?

[OldCorps]

New martyrs of Ethiopia. Very pious and humble people.

[fieldmarshaldj]

Disgusting. Prayers for our Christian brethren and their families, may they rest in peace.

Worthy to note:
"The men of the church came out first and attempted to defend the men and women but because they had no real weapons in comparison to the guns and knives used against them they were attacked by the mob."

So, as the moronic lefties move forward, should we look to the same situation developing here?

After all, one should not have a weapon, just be willing to 'discuss the issues' with the 'perceived' enemies, right???

[wodinoneeye]

Islam -- the religion of peace .......


Leftards/Libtards giving any press notice to this???

Any Islamics loudly (or otherwise) denouncing this and declaring them evil and hellbound???

[ApplegateRanch]

When will these vile cellar Christians quit fomenting trouble by daring to peacefully and quietly worship in their own nation?

How dare they insult and incite Peaceful Muslims by existing, instead of self-immolating?

Don't they realize that for everyone of themselves they force radicalized members of the ROP to slay, it inflames guilt & anger among the Moderate Muslims, forcing them to assuage it by killing even more Christians, Jews, Hindus, Budhists, animists, ..., pagans, wiccans, ..., Raelians, Enkankarians, Scientologists, ...?

Please don't tell me that anything which drips with it this much needs a sarcasm tag!

WASHINGTON – A leader of the small worldwide Muslim reform movement is warning the West against wishful thinking as the U.S. government promotes an intensive dialogue with Islam.

"The dialogue is not proceeding well because of the two-facedness of most Muslim interlocutors on the one hand and the gullibility of well-meaning Western idealists on the other," Bassam Tibi said Tuesday in an interview with United Press International.

Syrian-born Tibi, who claims to be a direct descendant of the prophet Mohammed and teaches political science at Goettingen University in Germany, appealed for intellectual honesty in these exchanges.

This Is 'Peace'?

"First, both sides should acknowledge candidly that although they might use identical terms these mean different things to each of them. The word 'peace,' for example, implies to a Muslim the extension of the Dar al-Islam – or 'House of Islam' – to the entire world," explained Tibi, who is also a research scholar at Harvard University.

"This is completely different from the Enlightenment concept of eternal peace that dominates Western thought, a concept developed by Immanuel Kant," an 18th-century philosopher.

This Is 'Tolerance'?

"Similarly, when Muslims and the Western heirs of the Enlightenment speak of tolerance they have different things in mind. In Islamic terminology, this term implies abiding non-Islamic monotheists, such as Christians, Jews and Zoroastrians, as second-class believers. They are 'dhimmi,' a protected but politically immature minority.

" According to Tibi, the quest of converting the entire world to Islam is an immutable fixture of the Muslim worldview. Only if this task is accomplished, if the world has become a "Dar al-Islam," will it also be a "Dar a-Salam," or a house of peace.

Tibi appealed to his co-religionists to "revise their understanding of peace and tolerance by accepting pluralism." Furthermore, he said, Muslim leaders should give up the notion of Jihad in the sense of conquest, as opposed to Jihad as an internal struggle of the individual.

Liberal Mush

Tibi's advice comes at a time when the U.S. government is urging American Muslim leaders to promote understanding for the United States in Islamic regions. To Tibi, this is more of a diplomatic endeavor than the promotion of a more profound theological understanding between Islam and the Judeo-Christian worldview prevalent in the West.

But Muzammil Siddiqi, one senior Islamic scholar the State Department consults with, told UPI he found that his efforts in furthering contacts between Muslim, Christian and Jewish theologians were having some success.

Indian-born Siddiqi is the director of the large Islamic Center of Orange County in California. In consultation with the State Department and in cooperation with the University of Kentucky, he traveled back and forth between the United States and the Middle East trying to convince Muslim theologians and jurists to meet with American church leaders.

"I have found that many, though not all, were ready to welcome visitors from America and also to come here to explore with Christians and Jews what we have in common," Siddiqi said.

Though Siddiqi's center is heavily engaged in interfaith activities, he made it clear that to him, as indeed for conservative Christians, syncretism – the mixing of religions – was anathema.

Common values should be sought out, he explained, and the equality of all believers respected, be they Muslims, Christians, Hindus or Buddhists. But the purity of the faith must not be compromised.

In an article in the prestigious Hamburg weekly Die Zeit, Tibi gave anecdotal evidence of how daunting a task this dialogue with Islam can be.

Staring in Horror at the Bible

The bishop of Hildesheim in Germany paid an imam a courtesy visit in his mosque. The imam handed the Catholic prelate a Koran, which he joyfully accepted. But when the bishop tried to present the imam with a Bible, the Muslim cleric just stared at him in horror and refused to even touch Christianity's holy book.

"The bishop was irritated because he perceived this behavior as a gross discourtesy," wrote Tibi, "but the imam had only acted according to his faith. For if an imam gives a bishop a Koran, he considers this a Da'Wa, or call to Islam.

" This, explained Tibi, must be borne in mind when one engages in a dialogue with Muslim "scholars," for it corresponds to a verse in the Koran: "And say ... to those who are unlearned: 'Do ye submit yourselves?'" (Surah 3:20).

Not in the US. The people will exercised their rights to defend themselves and their religious beliefs and kill those who wish to take away those rights be they islamic or the libtard/leftards that conspire with them.

Its likely that as the islamic fanatics get more arrogant that the rest of the world will finally decide to be rid of them once and for all. The islamic moderates better do it themselves first or the final reaction will not be too careful about which muslims are destroyed.

Good link. I can't take the duplicity any more. When I hear of US Air kicking Muzzies off the plane it makes me want to fly with them exclusively. Just imagine what kind of person drags a worshiper out of a church and mutilates them.

If I lived in the Agaro province in Ethiopia, I'd be packing a rocket launcher as a sidearm!

[padre35]

Wait a minute, while Obama and Warren were having there love fest today, did this subject come up?

Or was Jim Wallis watching over the slaughtered Christians in Ethiopia saying

"We need a real dialog. to talk to these poor disadvantaged murderers to find out how we may appease them better through deep caring and environmental concerns"

[ImpBill]

Yep, yet another proof positive that GW has it right and Islam is the "Religion of Peace".
