Burkina Faso: Muslims murder at least 55 people over the weekend JUN 17, 2022 2:00 PM BY ROBERT SPENCER6 COMMENTS

If any other group were the perpetrators of this, it would be international news. As it is, you will only read about it here, because it doesn’t fit the narrative.

“55 People Killed in Suspected Islamic Extremist Attack in Burkina Faso,” Associated Press, June 13, 2022:

OUAGADOUGOU, Burkina Faso (AP) – Gunmen killed at least 55 people over the weekend in northern Burkina Faso, authorities said Monday, the latest attack in the West African country seeing mounting violence blamed on Islamic extremists.

Suspected militants targeted civilians in Seytenga in Seno province, government spokesman Wendkouni Joel Lionel Bilgo said at a news conference. While the government put the official toll at 55, others put the figure far higher.

Attacks linked to al-Qaida and the Islamic State group are soaring in Burkina Faso, particularly in the north. Jihadists killed at least 160 people in an attack in Solhan town last July….

While no group claimed the attack, conflict analysts say it was likely carried out by the Islamic State group….

Nearly 5,000 people have died over the last two years in Burkina Faso because of violence blamed on Islamic extremists. Another 2 million people have fled their homes, deepening the country’s humanitarian crisis.

Muslims kill innocents, and the pope says nothing.
Muslims kill innocents, and the UN says nothing.

So I must ask. What good is the pope? What good is the UN? I’m all for saving a few bucks and getting rid of both the pope and the UN.

Use the money to arm innocents.

Pope and the UN exist because of money coming in and that keeps their jobs.

Like rape, it’s part of the Muslim culture. You’re a bigot if you complain.
