Radical Islamists have killed at least 30 Christians, raped 10 young women and girls, and kidnapped fifteen others in a spate of recent attacks in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), the Christian Post reported Wednesday.

Between November 20 and December 3, jihadis carried out violent raids on five villages in North Kivu province, northeastern DRC. Armed with guns, machetes, clubs, swords, and axes, the Islamists surrounded churches in each of the five villages and proceeded to assault the Christians inside.

“There was a throng of Christians flooding the streets in a helpless situation, as well as radical Muslim extremists surrounding five churches,” said one eyewitness. “Ten girls had been raped and 15 girls abducted from the Anglican Church and Roman Catholic Church, with 14 Christians admitted to a hospital in critical condition with injuries to their heads, and others with fractured hands and legs due to the use of guns, machete, clubs, Somali swords and axes.”

According to local authorities, the militants specifically targeted Christians, who make up 95 percent of the local population, killing those who refused to convert to Islam. The Islamists responsible for the attacks reportedly belong to the Allied Democratic Forces (ADF), a terrorist group allied with the Islamic State.

Under the leadership of Musa Baluku, the ADF has become the most active and violent terrorist group in the DRC over the past two years, and has committed scores of attacks involving murder, rape, and abduction of women and children, as well as slavery and forced conversions.

In one the most recent attacks, one Christian survivor witnessed the murder of his wife and three children as he hid in a bathroom. In another village, a Christian pastor saw all five members of his family slaughtered after they refused to convert to Islam...

“In another village, a Christian pastor saw all five members of his family slaughtered after they refused to convert to Islam...”

The term martyr has been perverted by radical Islam. THESE are true martyrs.

Clearly, this news story is completely fabricated in order to spread Islamaphobia. Everyone knows Islam is the religion of peace. It’s these Christians who are at fault for emotionally traumatizing Muslims with their existence. What were they supposed to do?

In case it isn’t obvious, /s

At least people are seeing this and other regular reports of atrocities against Christians on the MSM.

Right?

I'll wait to see this and similar reports in the major media. More likely, the very act of trying to report this will be considered hate speech and the originator of the report sanctioned in the new Amerika.

The religion of peace strikes again. I wonder if any of the peace living Muslims now in the US will condemn it.
