Citing the widespread destruction of churches and other Catholic institutions and the general situation of insecurity, the bishops of Niger have indefinitely suspended the operation of all Catholic schools, health centers, charities, and development agencies.
The bishops said that this suspension would allow them to pray and reflection upon “the painful events we have just endured.” The bishops pleaded for donations and attributed the destruction to rampaging young people who were responding to caricatures of Muhammad that appeared in Charlie Hebdo.
The West African nation of 17.1 million is 80% Muslim and 0.1% Catholic.
Little by little, radical islam takes over. They are learning that they can get what they want by violence.
Sounds just like Henry VIII and his destruction in the 1500s.
They need to change their name to “AfricanAmericanger”.
The parrish church I attend have had several African priests from different countries in Africa say mass and make a pitch for their African missions. On this occassion this one was white and I believe was a Salvatorian missionary for their missions which I believe were in Niger. After the mass he was taking comments. So I approached him and asked what about the Moslem probem ?
His reaction reminded me that of a teacher I had to a child who was behaving badly. He looked at me for a moment, Frowned. Then, and as his right hand began raising his religious habit russled, as he then pointed to the door. And that seems to be the response here.
It’s interesting the way socialists approach theological concepts but when it comes to Islam they are not the only ones who refuse to approach the issue. That even includes leading Christian clergy including Pope Francis.
Followers of Mohammed not only claim, but truly believe that God has authorized them to kill those who refuse to submit to their version of God’s will. That is a basic tenet of that religion. A claim which goes unchallanged. While it’s understandable for atheists which most socialists are, not to approach that claim on a theological basis. It’s bewildering why any Christian clergy refuse to admit it even exists and is a basic part of Islam creed and worse yet are unable to condem it.
The Koran and its enforcement of sharia law is a pseudo religious concoction using monotheistic selected texts taken and misconstrued from the new and old testaments. Both of which cite the Almighty has granted free will to accept or obey his laws and is the final judge not man. Sodom and Gahmora is a glaring example.
Yet followers of Mohammed under the severest of penalties are forbidden to read either which would refute that assertion in a creed which institutionalizes disgusting arab tribal views, observances,and customs. Claiming adhearants are authorized by our Creator to demand submission to it or suffer an ignominious death administered by followers of Islam.
