Premeditated Islamic Attacks on Christians (Muslims burn down 10 churches,100+ church properties)
International Christian Concern ^ | 1/10/04 Nigeria | Compass

Posted on 01/10/2004 8:36:09 PM PST by miltonim

Muslim extremists burned down 10 churches and over 100 church-owned properties in November during unprovoked attacks against Christians in the town of Kazaure.

According to Rev. Umaru Dutse, Chairman of the Jigawa state chapter of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), an undetermined number of Christians also died in the attacks.

Dutse said Muslim fanatics justified the attacks with claims that a local Christian blasphemed the prophet Mohammed, but the CAN official believes the blasphemy charge was merely a pretext.

“The attack is (part of) premeditated and continuous persecution of the Christian community here,” Dutse said.

“We have faced these attacks over the years.”

Meanwhile, the government of Plateau state has banned an Islamic group believed to be financing incessant aggression against Christians over the past two years.

In a radio and television broadcast, Plateau governor Joshua Dariye charged the Council of Ulamas with conducting activities inimical to the peaceful co-existence of Muslims and Christians.

Dariye said his government will not allow fundamentalists Muslim leaders to give tacit support to religious terrorism.

Islam is the only religion whose adherents regularly, since its inception, burn, conquer, torture, and murder in the name of God (supposedly) - not as an aberration or mistake, but as a stated policy. I used to be very tolerant of Islam and Muslims, I have two Korans which I have read parts of, tried to understand the basis for their beliefs, accept that "Allah" means the one Supreme Godhead in Arabic. But I am sick to death of their fanatical anger, hatred and complete intolerance of any other religion or mode of worship.

And the other thing that nauseates me is the supposed "moderate" Muslims that we hear so much about rarely if ever speak out against their extremist brethren. Where's the outrage? Where's the condemnation? Where's the distancing?

Silence.

We're going to find out, sooner or later,

If Abdul will pray, to a glowing crater.

I'm glad you realize that when they say this is a holy war and they want to kill us, it's time to start taking them at their word.

If Israel or the USA lose a city to these guys, it WILL happen. The Islemmings are too stupid, too wrapped up in their insane murder cult, to realize this.

That's pretty narrow minded. When theKosovo terrroists were hit by the SErbs, the entire slammie world got into a big huff. When the Sudanese and Pakies slaughterChristians we dn't say a word. When the Sauds build amosque in each western city but don't allow a kirk inMecca. We're too narrow minded, too selfish if we say: "only if there is an attack on the USA..." that's like saying :2When they came for the Anatolian Christians, I didn't care, when they came for the Egyptian christians, the Assyrians, the Armenians, The Greeks, the Serbian, the Sudanes, the Nigerian etc. etc
An attack onChristendom is an attack on us all

The problem is that theMusleeems who don't go about burning, torturring, etc. are the "Bad" ones. THe "good" ones are the ones that follow their "holy"book.

I agree, but we're not going to turn mecca into a glass-lined crater for any of those atrocities.

It will happen in retaliation (and to drive a stake through mohammed-vampire's black kaaba-rock hear) after an Israeli or American city is destroyed or infected with a deadly bioweapon.

We both agree then. but I really shudder at having to wait for them to make the first move. Pre-emption is a good strategy.
