“Make ready for them all that you can of force and of warhorses, so that by them you may strike terror in the enemy of Allah and your enemy, and others beside them whom you do not know.” (Qur’an 8:60)
“Herdsmen and Others Kill 18 Christians in Northern Nigeria,” Morning Star News, April 28, 2022:
ABUJA, Nigeria (Morning Star News) – Fulani herdsmen and others on Tuesday night (April 26) attacked four villages in Kaduna state, Nigeria, killing 18 Christians and burning down 92 houses, sources said.
The killings took place in three of the four villages. In Kauru County, the assailants killed 11 Christians in Ungwan Rimi village, six in Ungwan Magaji village and one at Kitakum village, said Abel Habila Adamu, president of the Chawai Development Association (CDA), in a press statement.
“Despite the ongoing peace talks between the Fulani herdsmen and the Christians of host communities in Tsam Chiefdom by relevant stakeholders, international organizations and NGOs, yet peace seems to be elusive as there are continuous attacks on the peace-loving people of Ungwan, Rimi Ungwan Magaji and Kitagum communities, all in Kamaru ward of Tsam Chiefdom, Kauru LGA, Kaduna state,” Adamu said.
He said the attacks injured seven Chritians [sic] and destroyed 92 homes….
Wellington says
The continuing slaughter of Christians in Africa by Muslims is arguably the single most shameful example of completely indefensible dereliction in our time.
john smith says
So true Wellington, and the trouble is we here absolutely nothing at all about it from MSM.
Wellington says
Yes, john smith, it is indicative again of how much the Western MSM has failed as a collective institution. Deep shame upon the BBC, ABC, NBC, CBS, CBC, The New York Times, et al. Actually, they have more than failed. Yes, it is even worse than “mere failure,” to wit, these media entities are full enablers of evil because silence in the face of evil is an abettor of evil and thus a form of evil itself.
If truth prevails (a big “if”), this should read as their sorry-ass epitaph. After all, they’re so “deserving” here.
somehistory says
Wellington,
the news has so much about the killing in ukraine…everyday, with photos and what the president has to say, but what is going in nigeria is ignored…even though it has been ongoing for *years.*
And the “herdsman” and “fulani”…they should just say it like it is…mozlum terrorists slaughtering those who refuse to bend the knee to the false ‘prophet’ and fake ‘god’ that mozlums follow, no matter how evil the road.
Peace talks with mozlums are useless wastes of time and breath. They don’t want peace; they only want to slaughter, rape, kidnap, and torture those who refuse to submit. If all Christians in nigeria suddenly lost their minds due to the slaughter happening every day and said they would submit, it still would not bring peace. mozlums have too much invested in their lust to murder other people.
Wellington says
somehistory; Putin is not off limits, nor should he be. But Mo’s deluded followers are off limits. Nothing could be phonier or greater evidence of a double standard.
Reminds me of how the Far Right (the real Far Right and not mainstream conservatives described by the Left as Far Right) never gets a pass, nor should it, but how the Far Left regularly does, an example being the treatment of Pinochet of Chile v. the treatment of Castro of Cuba (and at least the Far Right, bad as it is, tends not to destroy the economy while the Far Left can also add this “achievement” to their resume).
somehistory says
I agree, Wellington, that putin should be in the spotlight for what he is doing, but he shouldn’t be standing there alone while mozlums the world over kill at will and nothing is said about the evils of islam;
if the fact of the terrorists or males murdering their daughters, wives and raping little kids daily are outed as mozlums…which often, they are just plain bad guys without “motive” and maybe mental cases.
I’m thoroughly sick of it.
James Lincoln says
Wellington,
You are correct, the term “far-right” is way overused. It should only be used for people in groups with extreme right-wing social / foreign policy views.
Classical conservatives and libertarians, with moderate views, are now being labeled “far-right” by the mainstream media in order to marginalize them – and push a Leftist agenda.
I consider myself to be a moderate conservative who believes in law and order, the United States Constitution, and putting America First, etc.
But the mainstream media / Democrat party, given the chance, would label me “far-right”.
Wellington says
somehistory: Again we are in accord.
Putin is vile but so are Muslims carrying out the dictates of a truly evil religion. The fact that Putin is held to account by so many, as he should be (none more so than by Ukrainians), but Muslims behaving barbarically on a regular basis are ignored or even excused, is evidence of a rank double standard that is as disgusting as a double standard has ever been.
Evil is evil, whether backed by fallacious secular or religious notions. This has been a starting point for me for decades and I have never come across a persuasive reason to change this view of mine.
One more point: Some religions are good by their very nature, for example Christianity and Judaism. But other religions in man’s history have not been, examples being the Aztec religion of old and Islam. And so is it the case with secular ideologies—democracy v. autocracy as an example. For the record.
somehistory says
Yes, all of evil is evil, but not all religions are combating that evil.. some, like the ones you cited, were or are a large part of it, just as the secular ideas and schemes that have evil as their core..
Wellington, another day, another hour, and not much has changed for the better; Sadly for innocent, honest and hardworking people of this planet earth.
Wellington says
somehistory: Thanks for your reply.
“…and not much has changed for the better…”
To the extent this assessment of yours is true, and I think it highly valid, I would nonetheless note that, historically speaking, Western Civilization, even with its faults, has changed matters for the better for mankind by far, easily so, more than all other civilizations and societies combined.
Yes, which civilization has done more for freedom, equal rights. modern science and technology, women’s rights, the realization that slavery is malevolent and the capacity to apologize for past wrongdoings than has Western Civilization? And yet only the West is excoriated. I detect rank jealousy and ignorance here. Often total stupidity too.
How phony. How foolish. How hypocritical. Which takes me to a book I highly recommend and that is Douglas Murray’s “The War On The West.” It highlights so many truths (and hypocrisies). Worth the read definitely.
Take care, my Christian friend.
As ever,
Wellington
somehistory says
Thank you, Wellington, very much. I have to agree.
My thinking was focused on ‘today” and how things are going. Hour by hour, things seem to be getting more difficult. the fools keep throwing fuel on the fire. A cup of flour will be next, I fear.
Overall, things could be as they were before islam was pushed back, before Washington and his cohorts decided they had to fight the tyranny. A lot has certainly happened to improve the lives of many. If only there was no one doing bad, no corruption, ..at least, not so much of it in high places.
And, you too. I have to try to visualize the faces of those on here who have entered my realm of friends. One day, perhaps, we can meet face to face and have a nice discussion about history and other interesting things.
Until next time..
Jay Dupre says
I am in Budapest where many Nigerian ‘students’ have chosen to hold up having fled Ukraine. Last Sunday in a local church I asked one ‘why is the Nigerian government doing nothing to stop the killings of Christians by Muslims?’ His answer was, ‘how do you know this?’ His tone was not to deny it happening but was more a question of how I (a white Brit) got to know about this failings of his government. I felt he – a Christian from the south of Nigeria wanted this to be brushed under the carpet or perhaps he felt it was not a responsibility of his tribe!
somehistory says
A “true” Chrisitan would care…whichever tribe was being slaughtered. Jesus said, “All of you are brothers.” I can’t imagine not caring.
gravenimage says
Good exchange, Wellington, Somehistory, and James.
gravenimage says
All grimly true, Wellington. This genocide is seldom covered in the West.
Del says
Not a single word in the Canadian Media. Nothing. There is no doubt the Media in Canada are controlled by the Liberals. None. Canada is NOT a free democratic country, we are very very close to being a Liberal dictatorship with a weak ineffective Opposition. The best thing that could happen is that the Country break up into East & West.
OLD GUY says
Day in and Day out these islamic attacks take place against Christians and the media is silent. If these attacks were on Mosques or islamic followers the media would go nuts with Islamophobia and demand governments to defend islam’s right to practice their religion. Where are they when Christians are attacked daily. Or how about the U.N. and their human rights council, silence and continued funding for these countries.
john smith says
Spot on, if muslims were being slaughtered by Christians you wouldn’t here the end of it.
Mr X says
Can anyone explain in detail what is happening in Nigeria?
gravenimage says
Mr X, Nigeria’s population is now about 50/50 Muslim and Christian/animist, so Muslims are making the final push there to institute Islam. Several northern Muslim-majority states have already instituted Shari’ah law, including such horrors as stoning.
This is basically a genocide against Christians and other non-Muslims there.
The current president is Muslim, and he is doing nothing to prevent full scale attacks on Christians and other Infidels from Boko Haram and other Jihad terror groups.
Grimly, the West is barely covering this horrible story at all, largely because it does not fit the narrative that Muslims are victims.
