Sect? Those darn Amish again!
The group, whose name means “Western education is sacrilege” in the local Hausa language, is responsible for at least 504 killings this year alone, according to an Associated Press count.
Those of Islam should understand that this is true martyrdom. Not killing yourself murdering for allah and his prophet, but being murdered because you love and serve Jesus and your fellow man.
Of the two, one goes to paradise where they are in God’s presence, comforted and loved for all eternity. The other, not so much.
Once again we are shown the barbaric ways of Islam and here at home we here at home are being lulled to sleep by some damn tv show.
With the kind of hatred spewed against Catholics by some people here on FR, one has to wonder if we may see this kind of thing eventually make its way to America.
ROP indeed.
When is the last time you remember seeing any Islamic adherents attacked and killed by Christians out front of their churches?
Don’t jump to conclusions folks. This was unexpected.
Christians please get out of Nigeria before you are all dead.
God rest their souls, and may the perpetual light shine upon them. We already have the Ugandan Martyrs — now we have the Nigerian martyrs.
Too bad the Latins are going to insist on waiting for two confirmed miracles before they will proclaim their martyrs as saints. We Orthodox will do it immediately, and let the hierarchs catch up (following the example of St. Herman of Alaska in the case of the New-Martyr Peter the Aleut), thusly:
“Holy new-martyrs of Abuja, pray Christ God that our souls be saved.”
Don’t wait till it comes to your neighborhood.
