Islam in Africa > Nigerian Military assisting Muslims with Christian Genocide

 

I have been making this accusation for more than a year now. The Christian Association of Nigeria is now also making the same accusation.


Plateau crisis: Family wiped out, man beheaded

as CAN chair accuses military of aiding killing of Christians

by Obinna Ezugwu, Hallmark News, January 25, 2024:

The religious crisis in Mangu Local Government Area of Plateau State on Wednesday, took a more dangerous turn as mobs went on rampage, burning Christian worship centres, and killing just about anyone within reach.

The latest violence follows the Christmas Eve attacks on communities in three local government areas of the state by suspected Fulani herdsmen in which not less than 200 people were killed, according to several accounts.

The Gunmen had stormed Ndun, Ngyong, Murfet, Makundary, Tamiso, Chiang, Tahore, Gawarba, Dares, Meyenga, Darwat, and Butura Kampani villages in the Barkin Ladi, Mangu and Bokkos areas of the state, burning houses and shooting residents.

On Wednesday (yesterday), a graphic video of a young man being beheaded by a suspected Muslim mob trended on Wednesday, even as a family of five, including both parents and three children were killed by the assailants, witnesses said.

This is as over 30 persons were killed in the early hours of same Wednesday by gunmen who attacked Kwahaslalek village in the restive local government.

Reports said the victims who were mostly women and children, had run to the house of a community leader in the area on Tuesday night for safety following an earlier unrest during the day in Mangu town when the gunmen surrounded them and killed all of them

The Chairman of Mwaghavul Development Association, Joseph Gwankat, who confirmed the killing, said it was callous.

“I couldn’t sleep last night as a result of what happened in Mangu town during the day yesterday. Now, I have just been told Kwahaslalek village was attacked last night and about 30 people were killed .

“From what I was told, the unrest in Mangu town yesterday created fears in many communities. Some people in the village went and evacuated their loved ones and assembled them in a place where they thought was safe.

“So in the night, the killers went to Kwahaslalek village where the people mostly women and children were assembled and killed all of them,” he said…

CAN chairman accuses military of aiding killing of Christians

Meanwhile the chairman Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) in Mangu Local Government Area, Rev Timothy Daluk, on Wednesday, accused the Nigerian military of supervising the killings of Christians and destruction of properties in Plateau state….

“Enough is enough. We have cried, but the government is not listening. If they switch off their phones, then where else do we take our cries to?” he quizzed.

Come out of her, my people! There is no safe place in Nigeria for Christians. You should all leave before Judgement comes down on that infernal state.

Pakistan: Hindu man beheaded by a Muslim mob in the middle

of the night for protesting against the eve-teasing of his daughter


On the Indian sub-continent, sexual harassment is called eve-teasing. From this story, it appears that Muslims consider it to be their right.


OpIndia, May 12, 2023:

Atrocities against Pakistani Hindus continue as a 50-year-old Hindu man named Amlakh Bheel, belonging to the Bheel tribe was beheaded by Muslims on May 9 for protesting against the eve-teasing of his daughter, Reshma Bheel in Shahdadpur in Sanghar district of Sindh.



Reportedly, the deceased victim’s relatives said that Amlakh Bheel had warned the Muslim youths to file a police complaint against them saying that he knew someone in Pakistan Darawar Ittehad, a Hindu rights organisation in Pakistan protesting against abduction and forced conversion of Hindus in the country, particularly in Sindh and Punjab province.

Although the police have registered a complaint, no arrests have been made so far as the police claimed that the victim Reshma Bheel could not identify the youths.

Speaking to The Rise News, deceased Amlakh Bheel’s relative Girdhaari Bheel said “In the middle of the night, some unknown people arrived to attack Amlakh Bheel. When Amlakh’s relatives went to the outhouse after hearing the noise, the suspected Islamist perpetrators fled the spot after beheading Amlakh Bheel. Amlakh succumbed to his wounds.”




And, another beheading by the Religion of Peace



Yakub and Naushad, who had beheaded a Hindu in the Bhalswa Dairy area,

were tasked by ISI to execute a rerun of 2000 Red Fort attack: Delhi police


OpIndia, May 11, 2023:


The Delhi police on Wednesday, May 10, filed a chargesheet against Bhalswa Dairy murder accused Jagjit Singh Jassa alias Yakub and Naushad under the Unlawful Activities Prevention Act (UAPA).
The police said that the duo had been tasked by the K2 (Kashmir-Khalistan) desk of Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) to carry out a rerun of the 2000 terrorist attack on the Red Fort ahead of Republic Day.

On 22 December 2000, a terrorist attack took place on the Red Fort in Delhi, India. It was carried out by the Pakistani terrorist group Lashkar-e-Taiba. It killed two soldiers and one civilian.

Yakub and Naushad were arrested from the Bhalswa Dairy area of Jahangirpuri in Delhi on January 12 this year after the police had recovered a dismembered body of a man in a drain in the area.

The report by TOI quoted some sources as saying that the chargesheet has been filed under UAPA and under various sections such as murder, criminal conspiracy, and destruction of evidence in the court of special judge Sanjay Khanagwal.

The Delhi police in their chargesheet confirmed that Yakub and Naushad, who were out on parole, were at the final stage of attacking the Red Fort and carrying out five targeted killings, including two Sadhus in Haridwar before they were apprehended by the Delhi Police Special Cell.

The accused killed the Hindu man in the Bhalswa Dairy area in Delhi to impress their terror “bosses” in Pakistan.

It may be recalled that after the two terrorists were arrested on January 12, 2023, they confessed that they had killed a Hindu man, chopped his body, and sent the video of the murder to their handlers in Pakistan. While the aim of killing the Hindu man was to spread communal violence before Republic Day, they shared the video of the beheading to impress their handlers across the border with their capability.

The Delhi police further revealed that the duo were also planning to target some Shiv Sena leaders in Punjab in the coming month.

Notably, the Hindu man whom they had beheaded was identified as one Raj Kumar. The police revealed that the duo had specifically chosen him because he had a Shiv tattoo. According to the chargesheet, Raj Kumar was lured to the duo’s rented house in northwest Delhi and beheaded with a machete.

The chargesheet added that Yakub and Naushad then chopped Raj Kumar’s body into eight pieces and filmed the entire act. The video was sent to their foreign-based handlers, including an ISI operative, through the chat application Signal, the cops said….

The police then revealed that the duo was given four to five targets by their Pakistan-based handler Sohail, who is associated with the terror outfit Lashkar-e-Taiba and linked to Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence, ISI. The targets included a local RSS worker, a senior Punjab-based Shiv Sena party leader, and a Sikh group member who is opposed to the Khalistan movement. Sohail allegedly informed the duo that he would transfer money to them after each murder.




At least 20 bodies found in Congo mass grave, ISIS-linked rebels suspected


Associated Press, May 8, 2023:

The remains of at least 20 people were found buried in a mass grave in an area used to cultivate cacao in Ndoma village in Congo’s North Kivu province this weekend, according to local authorities and a military spokesperson.

A team of forensic and security officers exhumed the bodies after residents of villages in Beni territory found bones and clothing and alerted officials.



Until earlier this year, the area had been under the control of the Allied Democratic Forces, or ADF, a rebel militia with links to the Islamic State group. The area is now controlled by the Congolese army. 

We may have to debate the meaning of 'controlled'.

Muyisa Kambale Sindani, representative of nearby Kilya village, said Saturday that the remains were reburied “with dignity and security.” He confirmed that bones of at least 20 people were found, but that it wasn’t possible to search further because of a lack of security in the region. It wasn’t immediately clear how long the bodies had been there. 

Eastern Congo has been plagued by violence for decades as more than 120 armed groups fight for power, influence and resources and some to protect their communities. The ADF attacks have concentrated on North Kivu province, but the group has recently extended its operations into neighboring Ituri province and to areas near the regional capital, Goma, in South Kivu. 

The rebels are accused by the U.N. and rights groups of targeting, maiming, raping and abducting civilians, including children. Capt. Anthony Mwalushayi, regional spokesperson for the Congolese army said the area had been an ADF stronghold.

“There are innocent people who have been buried here. This is really a mass grave, ” he said, but noted that among the bones that were found, there were military insignias….




Daily Bloodbath In Benue As Fulani Herdsmen

Kill 28 Residents In Guma Local Council; Army, Police

Watch and Demand Money To Find Corpses


Sahara Reporters, May 11, 2023:

No fewer than 28 people have been killed by Fulani herdsmen in renewed attacks on Mbawa Council Ward in the Guma Local Government area of Benue State, North Central Nigeria.



SaharaReporters gathered that the residents were gruesomely killed by the jihadist terrorists and herdsmen in the local government area between Sunday and yesterday, Wednesday.

Sources who spoke to SaharaReporters on Thursday, accused the Nigerian Army and Police of complicity in the one-month daily attacks in Guma LGA.

A resident of the place who gave his name simply as Barnabas confirmed the ongoing attacks on the Mbawa Council Ward, regretting that soldiers and policemen brought to protect the people did nothing to stop the herdsmen wielding sophisticated weapons.

According to him, the police operatives are also demanding N100,000 to search for corpses of those killed on their farmlands.

He said “Since 2018 up till today our community and other Communities in Guma local government have been under Fulani herdsmen attacks. But now it is getting worse especially since two weeks now, we have not rested in this community.

“Between Sunday and Wednesday, they have killed 28 persons. On Wednesday being yesterday they killed seven, on Tuesday they killed eight, on Monday they killed seven and on Sunday it was six they killed. So that is how it continues, it has become a daily massacre and it is even close to Internal Displaced Camp (IDPs) in Daudu in Mbawa Council Ward and the army camp is also there. In fact soldiers can see those Fulanis with weapons and they will not do anything.

“Last week the Divisional Police Officer (DPO) in Guma police division; I don’t know how he managed to get the Fulanis and called all our chiefs and some elders for a meeting with the Fulanis. At the meeting he told our people that the Fulanis want to come and live in our community and that we should allow them to live with us.

“Recently the same Fulanis killed 36 persons and today they are here saying that they want to come and live with the same people….

Lamenting the complicit of the security agencies especially the military and police, Barnabas said that when they went to the bush with some soldiers and policemen to recover the corpses of those killed that at a point, soldiers asked them not to go further that Fulanis were in the forest nearby with guns.

“How did they know? For me the security agencies are accomplices in the ongoing killings in our communities,” he stated….

That's what you call genocide with governmental complicity.




UK: Man converts to Islam, starts ‘training for jihad’ to ‘kill people,’

is imprisoned, threatens to behead imam

MAY 14, 2023 5:00 PM 
BY ROBERT SPENCER
Jihad Watch

Matthew King likely thought that the imam was in some an apostate from Islam. The Qur’an says: “And it is not fitting for a believing man or a believing woman, when Allah and his messenger have settled a matter, that they should claim any say in the matter, and whoever is rebellious to Allah and his messenger, he indeed goes astray in obvious error.” (33:36) It also says “When you meet the unbelievers, strike the necks…” (47:4).

King, therefore, likely reckoned that the imam had gone astray, and uttered his threat accordingly.

Meanwhile, he is a “teen convert to Islam.” It’s good that his mother turned him in and blew the whistle on his massacre plot, but where was she when he converted? Likely being told that any concern about his conversion would be “Islamophobic.”




Teen’s terror plot against police and soldiers thwarted by mother


by Daniel Sandford and Judith Burns, 
BBC, May 12, 2023


A teenage Islamic State convert who has admitted plotting attacks on British police and soldiers has had his sentencing delayed after reports he has threatened to behead a prison imam.

The judge at the Old Bailey has adjourned the sentencing of 19-year-old Matthew King from Wickford in Essex.

He was put under surveillance after his mother raised concerns that videos he was watching promoted hatred.

Judge Mark Lucraft KC said she had “done exactly the right thing”.

King pleaded guilty in January to the preparation of terrorist attacks between 22 December 2021 and 17 May 2022….

The court heard that intelligence reports from the jail suggested King had said he would “behead the imam”.

King’s barrister Hossein Zahir KC said this was “a throwaway remark by an angry young man being stuck in his cell” and asked for further inquiries….

He said King converted to Islam in 2020 and, at first, his behaviour improved, but in 2021 he began criticising his sisters’ clothing as immodest and attended mosques wearing combat clothing.

He was put under surveillance after his mother reported him to the government’s anti-extremism agency Prevent, because she feared some of the videos he was watching promoted hatred.

Several of the mosques he attended also warned him about his behaviour, and one decided he was no longer welcome, Mr Jarvis told the court.

But they did not report him?

In 2022, in the weeks before his arrest, King began carrying out reconnaissance in east London, including on police officers patrolling outside Stratford railway station, as well as at Stratford police station itself and the local magistrates’ court.

Mr Jarvis told the court that one of the videos found on his phone featured footage near the police station, overlaid with a soundtrack including the words: “Coldly kill them with hate and rage. Plan your perfect killing spree.”

On 17 May 2022, a CCTV camera captured him filming after dark outside a 7 Rifles Army barracks in east London.

He was arrested at his home the following day and his phone examined.

Officers found Snapchat messages King sent to a girl who was still in the sixth form, known in court as Miss A, in which he said he wanted to travel to Syria to become a martyr.

They exchanged messages about how they would like to mutilate members of the British and American armed forces.

Miss A wrote to him: “We can’t let them die quick tho. Slow painful death akhi… I’ll guide you through it. Or bring him or her home.”

The prosecution said King had said he was “training for Jihad” and just wanted “to kill people”.

Mr Jarvis told the court that on 17 May 2022, the day before King’s arrest, the girl messaged him to say she wanted to concentrate on her exams.

King replied to say he would “be worshipping Allah” and he might soon be “on the news”….

Israel calls for harsh response to attack on Israeli-operated ship

off Oman, blames ‘terrorism exporter’ Iran

Israel has squarely blamed Iran for an attack this week on an Israeli-operated tanker off Oman, urging the international community to come up with a harsh response to the incident, which killed at least two of the vessel’s crew.

Foreign Minister Yair Lapid laid the blame for the incident on Tehran after discussing the attack with his British counterpart Dominic Raab late on Friday. Lapid told Raab the world needs to come up with a strong response.

“Iran is not just an Israeli problem, but an exporter of terrorism, destruction and instability that harms us all. The world must not be silent in the face of Iranian terrorism that also harms freedom of shipping,” Lapid said in a statement.

The Liberian-flagged tanker Mercer Street, operated by the Israel-based Zodiac Maritime company, came under attack late on Thursday. Initially reported as a piracy incident, the assault killed two crewmembers – a British and a Romanian national.

It remains unclear what exactly happened to the vessel, though Israeli media, citing unnamed senior officials, reported that it was attacked by drones.

Iran has remained silent on the incident, neither denying nor confirming any involvement. Tehran-based Arabic-language broadcaster al Alam TV, however, cited “sources in the resistance axis” to report that the strike on the Israeli-managed ship was a response to recent strikes on Dabaa airfield in Syria, used both by Syria’s military and by its ally, Lebanon’s Hezbollah movement.




Four injured in shooting and stabbing in Berlin car park,

German police mount major operation – reports

30 Jul, 2021 17:45




At least four people have been injured in a knife and gun attack in the Wedding neighborhood of Berlin, police told reporters. German media said officers and fire services mounted large scale operations in response.

The shooting reportedly occurred on Thursday in a hardware store car park near Kurt-Schumacher-Platz.

Fire department officials quoted by local outlet Berliner Zeitung said that three men and one woman were injured in the incident, with all four receiving medical treatment at the scene before being taken to hospital. 

Police told RIA Novosti that three of the victims were seriously injured, having sustained knife and gunshot wounds.

The perpetrator has apparently fled the scene. Local law enforcement has called for any eyewitnesses to come forward.




250+ Palestinians injured in clashes with Israeli forces

during protest against illegal West Bank settlements

Around 270 Palestinians were injured in the occupied West Bank as they clashed with Israeli troops, who fired tear gas and rubber-coated bullets into crowds protesting Israeli settlements.

Hundreds of Palestinans gathered on Friday in the town of Beit Ummar, located northwest of Hebron, to mourn the death of a protester killed by the Israeli military a day before.

Shawkat Awad, 20, was shot in the head and abdomen on Thursday during clashes that erupted after the funeral of a 12-year-old Palestinian boy killed by Israeli troops earlier in the week. The mourners carried Awad’s body through the town, with the funeral procession spiraling into new clashes with Israeli soldiers.

Footage from the scene showed several Palestinians throwing stones at Israeli armored vehicles, in addition to what appeared to be a small petrol bomb, while the military deployed tear gas and fired riot control rounds into the crowd.

Clashes also erupted at the village of Beita near Nablus in the northern West Bank. The town has seen numerous protests since May, when illegal Israeli settlers moved in and started setting up homes and building a road on a disputed stretch of land.

Images circulating online showed dozens of Palestinians hurling rocks at the Israeli military as burning tires let off thick clouds of black smoke, apparently an effort to conceal themselves from the Israeli troops seen shooting at protesters.

The clashes left around 270 Palestinians injured across the West Bank, according to the Palestinian Red Crescent. While the majority of the victims were exposed to tear gas, around 50 were injured by supposedly ‘less-lethal’ rubber-coated bullets, while another seven reportedly suffered wounds as result of live fire, the Red Crescent told AFP.




Fulani herders kill kidnapped pastor; behead father, 7-year-old son

Fulani herdsmen beheaded a Christian man and his 7-year-old son and killed a pastor they had kidnapped two weeks earlier in two separate attacks in northern Nigeria, according to reports.

Thomas Wollo, 46, and his 7-year-old son, Nggwe Thomas, were beheaded by herdsmen close to their home in Tafigana village in Plateau state’s Bassa Local Government Area as they were returning from choir practice at about 8:50 p.m. on Sunday, the U.S.-based persecution watchdog group International Christian Concern reported.

Zongo Lawrence, the spokesman for Miango Youth Development Association, was quoted as saying that the herdsmen destroyed a large part of farmland in a nearby village after the attack.

“Seventeen of our people have been killed by Fulani herdsmen this year. The international community should come to our aid; we are under heavy siege,” Lawrence said.

In Kogi State last Thursday, the Rev. Danlami Yakwoi of the Evangelical Church Winning All died in captivity after being tortured by Fulani herdsmen, Morning Star News reported.

Yakwoi had been kidnapped along with two of his sons and a nephew in Tawari area on July 12, church secretary Musa Shekwolo was quoted as saying.

The news of the pastor’s death came after one of his children who was kidnapped was released.

Yakwoi’s family paid a ransom for the release of his son, Shekwolo said.

ICC designates Fulani radicals as the fourth-deadliest terror group globally, which has surpassed the Boko Haram terrorist group as the greatest threat to Nigerian Christians.

“Many believe that the attacks are motivated by jihadist Fulanis' desire to take over farmland and impose Islam on the population and are frustrated with the Muslim-dominated government that is believed to be enabling such atrocities,” ICC warned in May.

The Anambra-based International Society for Civil Liberties and Rule of Law estimated in May that as many as 1,470 Christians were killed in Nigeria during the first four months of 2021, the highest estimate in the first four months of any year since 2014. The number also surpasses the estimated number of Christians killed in 2019. The report estimated that as many as 300 people had been killed in Kaduna in the first four months of 2021. 

In the first four months of this year, the organization estimates that at least 2,200 Christians were abducted. Kaduna state recorded the highest number of abductions at 800.

The Global Terrorism Index ranked Nigeria as the third-most affected country by terrorism and reported over 22,000 deaths by acts of terror from 2001 to 2019.

Advocates, including U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom Commissioner Gay Bauer, have warned that Nigeria “will move relentlessly toward a Christian genocide” if action is not taken. The U.S. State Department recognizes Nigeria as a "country of particular concern" for tolerating or engaging in severe violations of religious freedom. 

Islamic extremism, notably carried out by groups like Boko Haram and the Islamic State West Africa Province in northeast Nigeria, has led to thousands of deaths and millions displaced in recent years.

And yet, what has the State Dep't done?
