Nigeria: Muslims murder over 30 Christians, set fire to homes and churches, shoot those trying to flee
The international media will take little notice of this. After all, it isn’t as if something serious such as “Islamophobia” were being committed.
“Muslim Extremists Murder Over 30 Nigerian Christians In Devastating Attack,” by Jacob Airey, Daily Wire, March 1, 2019:
Over 30 Nigerian Christians were killed in a brutal early morning attack by radical Islamic Fulani herdsmen, who have been systematically targeting believers living on lands the extremists claim to be their territory.
The Guardian reports that the deadly assault occurred at around 4 a.m. near the town of Maro, in Kajuru County of Kaduna state, where the attackers set fire to several buildings, including homes and churches. The extremists shot civilians with rifles as they fled the burning establishments.
A member of local church Evangelical Church Winning All (ECWA) told Morning Star News that members “ran out of the church building as the shooting was going on.” She added, “Many have been killed, and I have not seen my family members since morning. I have escaped out of the area.”
Some villagers and local policemen tried to resist the radical Muslim assault but were forced to retreat as the attackers overwhelmed them by sheer numbers and firepower.
Kaduna’s local state government condemned the attack in a statement from Samuel Aruwan, the Senior Special Assistant to the Governor.
“Today, the Kaduna State government was briefed by security agencies of renewed attacks in Kajuru Local Government Area, and in parts of neighboring Kachia Local Government Area,” he said. “The state government has been assured that the security agencies are working assiduously to contain the situation. The government is saddened by these attacks, condemns the perpetrators and urges all residents of the area to support the security agencies in their efforts to protect communities.”
The violence was so severe that a nearby boarding school administered by the Evangelical Missionary Society (EMS) evacuated to protect the children
It is not irrational to fear Islam.
Islam gives us many examples of why rational people fear them.
They’ve been doing it for 1397 years
They are following the example and instructions of their prophet.
There is no moderate Islam.
That’s to fool you into blindly allowing them numbers enough to kill you.
What is the Nigerian government doing to enable Christians to fight back? If nothing, Trump needs to come down on that Muslim government hard. It’s an issue that would resonate with most Americans and bolster the case for our 2nd Amendment — if it is persistently and adequately explained.
Pure horror.
US military needs to be dropping defense supply crates to these christian Villages
