This Week's Islamic Massacres > 15 security personnel, 12 militants dead in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa; One dead, 24 injured in Nepal; 30 Christians (11 children) slaughtered by Fulani militants in Nigeria

 

Pakistan: Islamic jihadis attack security post, murder 15 security personnel




The Islamic Republic of Pakistan implements Sharia to a great degree, but it is still not an Islamic emirate, with a Muslim cleric at the helm. As such, it is made up of heretics and apostates who can lawfully be killed in jihad massacres such as the one we see here.

“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)


Suicide bomber, gunmen attack security post in northwest Pakistan, killing 15 security personnel

Associated Press, July 24, 2026 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):

ISLAMABAD (AP) — A suicide bomber backed by gunmen attacked a security checkpoint in northwest Pakistan, killing 15 members of the security forces, the military said Friday.

In a statement, the military said troops repelled the overnight assault in Tank, in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, and killed 12 militants.

The military blamed the attack on the Pakistani Taliban, known as Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan, or TTP.

The group is separate from but allied with Afghanistan’s Taliban rulers. Pakistan has long accused Afghanistan’s Taliban government of providing sanctuary to TTP militants, an allegation Kabul denies….

According to the military, the attackers attempted to storm the checkpoint but were pushed back by security forces before ramming an explosives-laden vehicle into the perimeter wall, triggering a powerful blast that severely damaged the checkpoint.



Nepal: Muslim mob attacks Hindu pilgrimage, one killed, 24 injured


Nepal is 81% Hindu, but everywhere Islam goes, it causes strife with non-Muslims. Terror, indeed, is the Qur’anic imperative: “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…” (Qur’an 8:60)

30 Christians Slaughtered in Nigeria as Study Highlights Threat from Islamic Fulani Militias

A recent brutal attack in Nigeria left 30 Christians, including 11 children, dead, underscoring the severe and escalating violence disproportionately targeting believers in the region. 




A brutal attack in Nigeria last weekend that left 30 Christians dead, including 11 children, underscores the growing danger facing believers in that country and offers further evidence that the violence is disproportionately targeting Christians, experts on the region say.

The attack unfolded just before midnight on Sunday, July 26, when suspected Islamic Fulani militants went from house to house in the village of Naridon in the Kauru Local Government Area, killing residents without regard for age or sex.

The victims included 21 from a Catholic church and nine from ECWA (Evangelical Church Winning All), according to Open Doors.

The oldest victim was 87, the youngest 3. Among the dead were eight children under 10.

1,400+ Killed as South Asia Hit by Worst Floods in Decade

More than 1,400 people have been killed across India, Nepal and Bangladesh as the region suffers the most devastating flooding in a decade.

Hundreds of towns and villages have been submerged by the devastating floods which have now persisted for over two months, affecting an estimated 40 million people.

Tens of thousands of people have taken refuge in relief camps that are short of food and vulnerable to disease.

The head of a South Asian regional body, launched this year to boost disaster coordination, said the flooding underlined the poor planning, Reuters report.

"The floods this year have exposed the urgency for (South Asian) nations to work together to deal with natural disasters," said PK Taneja, of the India-based SAARC Disaster Management Centre.

Monsoon season causes widespread flooding every year across South Asia.

The heavy rains are being blamed for the collapse of a 117-year-old building in Mumbai on Thursday. At least 34 people were killed when the six story building caved in on itself. The building had reportedly been declared unsafe in 2011 but many people remained living there, according to The Times of India.

The devastating flooding has sparked anger across the affected areas but authorities have tried to distance themselves from culpability by highlighting the scale of this year's deluge.

“If you get a whole year's rain in one to two days, how will you handle it? No preparation and planning will work,” said Anirudh Kumar, of the disaster management department in the Indian state of Bihar.

Over 500 people have died in Bihar with a further 850,000 displaced.

Aid agencies said people are beginning to return to their homes only to find it completely destroyed. Dibya Raj Poudel, of the Nepal Red Cross Society, said: "Many survivors are traumatized... They fear the floods may hit them any time again and they have no place to stay nor any food to eat.

Around 18,000 schools have also been destroyed or damaged and NGOs are warning that hundreds of thousands of children are at risk of permanently falling out of the education system.

“We haven’t seen flooding on this scale in years and it’s putting the long-term education of an enormous number of children at great risk,” said Rafay Hussain, from Save the Children.

Equality of the Sexes Take a Big Step (Out of the Cowsheds) in Nepal

Nepal criminalizes tradition of forcing menstruating women

The Nepalese government has made it a criminal act to force women into cowsheds while they’re on their periods. The ancient Hindu tradition sends menstruating females into the sheds to keep so-called “impurity” out of the home.

Although the practice – called ‘chhaupadi’ – was banned by the Supreme Court in 2005, it remains common in Nepal's remote west.

However, the government has now made the practice a criminal act that could come with jail time.

“The parliament has a passed a new law that makes chhaupadi a criminal act,” lawmaker Krishna Bhakta Pokharel, who headed a parliamentary panel that finalized the legislation, told the Thomson Reuters Foundation.

“Anyone forcing women into seclusion during their period can now be sentenced to three months in jail.”

The new law will come into force within a year, according to Pokharel, as authorities want to spread awareness of the legislation before cracking down on offenders.

Some Nepalese communities believe they will fall victim to misfortune such as natural disaster if females are not sent into isolation while menstruating.

However, the practice – which exposes them to rape by men and attacks by wild animals – has led to the deaths of several women.

Just last month, a 19-year-old died from a snake bite while she was staying in a shed in the district of Dailekh. In December, another girl suffocated to death in a poorly-ventilated shed in the Achham district.

In addition to sending females into isolation, some communities also ban them from drinking milk and feed them less food while they are on their periods.

The law against banishing women to cowsheds has been praised by the National Alliance for Women's Human Rights Defenders, a local Nepalese activist group, which has called the practice “inhumane.”

The group's head has called on community members and activists to “remain vigilant and report any case of chhaupadi.”

“Such vigilance will force the government to strictly enforce the law,” Renu Rajbhandari said, as quoted by Reuters.

The ban comes after the United Nations joined up with the youth-led organization Restless Development Nepal in April, in order to push for an end to the practice which the organization said subjects women to “cold and isolation, often at risk of illness and animal attacks.”
