Attack on Christians in Nigeria Described as a ‘Massacre’
Catholic News Agency ^ | 9/30/21

Posted on 10/01/2021 6:43:09 PM PDT by marshmallow

A Catholic priest has described last Sunday’s attacks on villages in Nigeria’s northern Kaduna State as a “massacre” against native people, many of whom are Christian.

An estimated 49 people, including women and children, were killed in a two-hour-long attack by Muslim Fulani herdsman who “came in large numbers and began shooting at anything on sight,” according to the priest, who spoke to Middle Belt Times on condition of anonymity because he serves in the region.

“We have counted 30 dead bodies, mostly women and children, three still missing, while five are receiving treatment in the hospital,” he told the Nigerian news website.

The priest said that at least 20 houses were burned down in the attack, reported ACI Africa, CNA’s African news partner.

Nigeria has experienced rising insecurity since 2009, when Boko Haram, one of Africa’s largest Islamist groups, launched an insurgency seeking to turn Africa’s most populous country into an Islamic state.

The group has orchestrated indiscriminate terrorist attacks on numerous targets, including religious and political groups, as well as civilians.

This seems to occur every few months in Nigeria.
They still haven’t figured out how to stop it?
That must mean the Government is either in on it, or profitting by allowing this to happen. How shameful is that?
It’s almost like some sort of ‘Harvesting’ of Christians.

Those people who were massacred undoubtedly went out of their way to love thy neighbor, turn the other cheek, give him their cloak as well as their coat, help him raise his donkey and cart that fell on their side, and forgave them seventy times seven times.

They chose religious martyrdom over open combat.
We are doing the same in the United States as of tonight.

My those slaughtered be in heaven and at peace now.

Lets send them a few planeloads of machetes. They should go Rwanda.
They need to lavishly hand out shotguns, Winchesters and lots of ammo to every village.
Nobody can do it for them.

And all of this eventually leads back to Saudi Arabia. That is where we could do something useful. But our leaders can’t wait to kowtow to the Saudi government.

How can you make an unkind remark about slaughtered women and children?

If they were in Christ they were indeed raptured!
They are in Glory now

This event will force the pope to finally speak up against the massacre of Christians.

I sadly kid, of course. Francis is way more preoccupied with lecturing us about Global Warming and vaccinations. He doesn’t have time to concern himself with murdered Christians.

And the same goes with the Archbishop of Canterbury, etc. They are all pathetic, worthless leaches.

That damn fool George W. Bush set the tone. Obama just took the ball and ran with it.

George W. Bush, the worst president ever.

It’s a damn shame.
My supervisor is a Nigerian immigrant, Navy Vet, and Pastor. He’s, obviously from the South East portion of Nigeria. I don’t blame him one bit for wanting to join and serve The Shining City Upon The Hill, and escaping from the jaws of savage muslims.
I don’t know how he manages to supervise, with fairness, the muzzys we brought on for the sake of “diversity”.

Most of the geography north of the Kaduna area is overwhelmingly muzzy.
That's why Boku Haram operates with impunity.
Abuja is the northern most outpost of civilization in Nigeria. Igbaw and Ijaws are the few of the civilized ones. Fortunately, they make up a disproportionate amount of our immigrants.

When asked about the “who did this” re the latest massacre of Christian villagers, Obama said, “Yes we did.”

Remember what he said said about “those who blasphemy Islam”.

We describe that here as “an unfortunate incident’.

OTOH, waving a horse’s reins in front of the wrong people is a “mass lynching”.

The Bible says they are asleep and await a glorious resurrection. At the 2nd coming. This evil proves the doctrine of the pretrib rapture is not Biblical. Made up, new covenant, dispensationalism and dangerous.
