Democratic Republic of Congo:
Islamic State boasts of murdering
over 30 Christians, burning 70 houses
In the wake of an Islamic State (ISIS) jihadi’s massacre in New Orleans, some have professed to find it suspicious that ISIS has “mysteriously reappeared.” Anyone who thinks that ISIS has just reappeared simply hasn’t been paying attention.

At his home, New Orleans jihadi had Qur’an
opened to verse promising paradise
to those who ‘kill and are killed’
“Indeed, Allah has bought from the believers their lives and their wealth, because the garden will be theirs, they will fight in the way of Allah and will kill and be killed. It is a promise that is binding on him in the Torah and the Gospel and the Qur’an. Who fulfills his covenant better than Allah? Rejoice then in your bargain that you have made, for that is the supreme triumph.” (Qur’an 9:111)
The Torah and the Gospel actually do not promise paradise to those who fight in the way of God and kill and are killed. That idea is in the Qur’an only.
Even after this, however, no law enforcement or intelligence officials will dare to consider the possibility that the Qur’an itself is the source of “radicalization.”
New Orleans ISIS terrorist Shamsud-Din Jabbar had bomb-making station
and Quran open to chilling passage in his home, new photos reveal
by Jennie Taer, Chris Nesi and Alex Oliveira, New York Post, January 2, 2025:
HOUSTON – ISIS-inspired New Orleans terrorist Shamsud-Din Jabbar kept a bomb-making workbench in his ramshackle Texas trailer home — where a Quran was left open on a page about “slaying” in the name of Allah, exclusive photos obtained by The Post show.
Jabbar’s north Houston home was filled with chemical residue and chemical bottles, while an inventory of items seized by the FBI — left behind by investigators who raided his house on Wednesday — included a long list of compounds used in bomb-making.
His Quran was propped atop a bookshelf, a centerpiece in his living room, and open to a passage reading, “they fight in Allah’s cause, and slay and are slain; a promise binding…”
That passage, Verse 9:111, expounds on Muslims’ responsibility to kill Allah’s enemies, and to be willing to die for that mission in return for eternity in paradise.
I'm sure Jabbar woke up to a terrifying surprise. The very opposite of what he was expecting. So many devout Muslims are fooled by Mohammed into doing Satan's work and getting Satan's 'reward'.
Numerous books about Islam were also on the shelf and around the squalid home, while a prayer rug was rolled up nearby.
FBI officials on Thursday said Jabbar posted five disturbing videos on Facebook on his drive from Houston to New Orleans just hours before he unleashed carnage on Bourbon Street, leaving 14 innocent pedestrians dead.
In the first disturbing video — posted at 1:29 a.m. — the US Army veteran said he had initially planned on murdering his family and friends, but changed his mind over concerns that the resulting media coverage wouldn’t focus on the “war between the believers and disbelievers,” FBI counterterrorism official Chris Raia said.
In other videos, he said he had joined ISIS “before this summer” and showed off his last will and testament.
Investigators confirmed that Jabbar, 42, was ideologically aligned with ISIS and that he specifically chose Bourbon Street as the target of his monstrous act of terror.
However, they have yet to piece together what precisely brought about his radicalization….
The FBI revealed that Jabbar acted alone in the attack after poring over his social media accounts, conducting “hundreds” of interviews with witnesses and searching three cellphones and two laptops recovered from an Airbnb on Mandeville Street in New Orleans linked to the terror suspect….
Sudan: Muslims attack church prayer service, injuring 14
Imagine the international headlines if Christians attacked a mosque during prayers, which they would not do and should not do. But you’ll likely only hear about this here.
Church Prayer Service Attacked in Sudan, Injuring 14 Christians
Morning Star News, December 31, 2024:
NAIROBI, Kenya (Morning Star News) – Militants of the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) attacked a church prayer service in Sudan’s Al Jazirah state on Monday (Dec. 30), wounding 14 Christians, sources said.
In the town of Al Hasaheisa, the militants mounted the assault as 177 Christians of the Sudanese Church of Christ (SCOC) were praying and fasting for the end of the military strife in Sudan, said church Secretary Joseph Suliman.
The militants of the Islamist RSF, which has been battling the equally Islamist Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) since April 2023, stormed into the worship building and beat church members on suspicion of supporting the SAF.
Mina Joseph, 18-year-old daughter of a church elder, was among those who sustained serious injuries and were in critical condition, Suliman told Morning Star News. The RSF also destroyed tables and the chairs in the worship building in the 10 a.m. assault.
The RSF, which controls the area, has prevented the church members and other Christians from leaving the area.
“They have attempted to flee the area several times, but they were prevented by RSF,” Suliman said.
The RSF has often accused civilians of supporting SAR as they attack, rape, kidnap and loot. The civil society group Al Jazirah Conference estimates RSF militants have driven all residents from 400 villages and partially emptied another 115 hamlets in the eastern part of the state alone, according to the Sudan Tribune.
The RSF reportedly began retaliating against local civilians on Oct. 20 after RSF leader Abu Aqla Kikil, a native of the area, defected to the army. The commander’s defection reportedly led to RSF violence that has displaced more than 500,000 people and killed hundreds of others….
