Mozambique: Muslims burn churches, kidnap young girls, behead people, displace 1000s in escalating jihad violence JUL 26, 2020 11:00 AM BY CHRISTINE DOUGLASS-WILLIAMS

“Bishop Luiz Fernando Lisboa of Mozambique’s Pemba diocese has been an outspoken advocate for the needs of the more than 200,000 people who have been displaced by the violent insurgency.”

Lisboa states rightly: “The world has no idea yet what is happening because of indifference.”

If the world truly cared about black lives, there would be a loud outcry over the genocide of black African Christians that is continuing and escalating. There would also be international outrage over the ongoing enslavement of blacks in Muslim countries in North Africa. Instead, Islamic supremacy and jihad activity continue unimpeded “because of indifference.”

Other recent news about Mozambique: the Islamic State raided a town that is the location of liquid natural gas projects worth $60 billion. Not long after that, jihadists declared: “we want everyone here to apply Islamic law, we want a government from Allah.” Then, in pursuit of their “government of Allah,” jihadists massacred 52 people in a “cruel and diabolical” rampage. A couple of months later, at least 17 more people were murdered in pursuit of the “government of Allah.” Even the pro-mass migration Doctors Without Borders had to flee for their lives.

Amid global indifference, “multiple churches have been burnt, people beheaded, young girls kidnapped, and hundreds of thousands of people displaced by the violence”; all of this continues.

“Churches burned, people beheaded in Mozambique’s escalating extremist violence,” by Courtney Mares, Catholic News Agency, July 23, 2020:

ROME — A Catholic bishop has deplored the world’s indifference to escalating extremist violence in northern Mozambique, where multiple churches have been burnt, people beheaded, young girls kidnapped, and hundreds of thousands of people displaced by the violence.

Bishop Luiz Fernando Lisboa of Mozambique’s Pemba diocese has been an outspoken advocate for the needs of the more than 200,000 people who have been displaced by the violent insurgency.

In June there were reports that insurgents had beheaded 15 people in a week. Yet the bishop said that the crisis in Mozambique has largely been met with “indifference” from the rest of the world.

“The world has no idea yet what is happening because of indifference,” Bishop Lisboa said in an interview with Portuguese media June 21.

“We do not yet have the solidarity that there should be,” he told LUSA news agency.

The bishop noted in April that extremists had already burned five or six local chapels, as well as some mosques. He said that the historic Sacred Heart of Jesus mission in Nangolo was also attacked this year.

“They attacked the church and burnt the benches and a statue of Our Lady, made of ebony. They also destroyed an image of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, to whom the parish is dedicated. Fortunately, they were unable to burn the building itself, only the benches,” Lisboa said.

The bishop said at the time that the increased attacks, frequently targeting the Church, were “an injustice that is crying out to heaven.”

Paulo Rangel, a Portuguese Member of the European Parliament who has been advocating for European support of the region, said July 23: “The international community is nowhere to be seen in regard to the problem.”

Mozambique is 17.9% Muslim, according to The World Almanac.

The bishop must have missed Biden's remarks about combatting Islamicphobia.

Guarantee with a bit of research, we could trace the origins of this jihad back at least in part to VJ and odumbo

Bullseye!
The world has fallen for a lie so silly the only conclusion to be reached is that they want to be deceived or at least pretend they want a different outcome.

This whole thing illustrates why I can't be a pacifist; if history teaches us anything it's that there are people alive who need to be made dead.

What can be done? War. I don’t want that but historically that’s the only way to stop this kind of terror.

No, that is Zimbabwe - it was Rhodesia before it became Zimbabwe.

Every Christian should be on their knees right now praying to The Lord for divine protection.

The satanic forces of this world are being systematically unleashed and we have a massive bullseye on us.

Satan is unfettered.

1 Peter 5:8: Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour..

Eph 6:12: For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.."

It's up to the army in Mozambique to handle the insurgent violence and regain control of the areas of conflict as they did here recapturing Quissanga town, after six weeks under insurgents control.
