No enemedia coverage of this genocide. But eat bacon outside a mosque and you’ll be looking at prison time. A world under Islamic law.

Four Children, Grandmother among 17 Christians Slain in Attack by Muslim Herdsmen in Nigeria Armed soldiers accompanied herdsmen, residents say.
By Our Nigeria Correspondent, October 1, 2018 (Morning Star News)
JOS, Nigeria,– Armed Fulani herdsmen accompanied by militants in Nigerian army uniforms killed 17 Christians in their homes in the heart of Jos, north-central Nigeria, on Thursday (Sept. 27), including four children, area sources said.
At about 7:30 p.m. in an area known as Rukuba Road, the assailants broke into one home shooting randomly and killed 14 members of one family, including 15-year-old Ishaya Kogi, 17-year-old Jonathan Kogi, Cynthia Kogi, 22, and Lucky Kogi, 25, their uncle told Morning Star News.
Two of Lucky Kogi’s children, 3-year-old Majesty Lucky and Blessing Lucky, 14, were also killed in the assault, he said.
“When the Fulani herdsmen came, they shot into the house randomly, breaking and forcing their way into rooms shooting defenseless women and children and anyone in sight,” the mournful Rogu Audu, who lost his mother and two of his own children in the attack, told Morning Star News.
The 50-year-old member of ECWA church, Blue Zinc, Rukuba Road, Jos, said his mother, Kande Audu, 75, was killed in the assault, along with two of his children – Ruth Rogu, 18, and Dorcas Rugu, 20. The two had gone to their grandparents’ house to take them dinner, he said.
The attack took place close to the Nigerian army military cantonment, Rukuba Barracks, in Jos. Surviving family members told Morning Star News that the Fulani herdsmen, some armed with firearms and some with machetes, were accompanied by Nigerian army soldiers.
“The Fulani herdsmen came from the Wild Life Park, which shares a border with our community,” Audu said. “The park is located in the southern flank of Rukuba Road and has rocky hills, which provided the attackers with cover to enable them to invade our community.”
The four children of one family slain were those of Kogi Audu, 47, also killed. She was the wife of Rogu Audu’s brother. Her fifth child, Blessing Kogi, 22, was injured in the slaughter and was receiving treatment in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) of Bingham University Teaching Hospital, Jos, he said.
Two other female relatives, Azumi Gado, 20, and Ladi Rigi, 22, were on a visit to the house at the time of the attack and killed, Audu said.
Rogu Audu also told Morning Star News that armed Fulani herdsmen attacked the home of his uncle, 65-year-old Sunday Moru, killing Moru’s granddaughter, Blessing Sunday, 18, and her fiancé, 23-year-old Monday. The couple was visiting him.
All those killed were members of the local Evangelical Church Winning All (ECWA) congregation, he said.
Area resident Daniel Kadiya, 60, told Morning Star News that the herdsmen also attacked his son’s house, where three of his grandchildren were struck with machetes. Wounded were Redzie Yakubu, 14, Patience Yakubu, 8, and Philip Yakubu, 5, he said.
“They had machete cuts and are currently receiving treatment at the Bingham University Teaching Hospital, Jos,” Kadiya told Morning Star News. “Redzie was cut on her head, Patience was cut on her right hand, while Philip was cut on the face and hands.”
His son and daughter-in-law were not at home at the time of the attack.
Rogu Audu said that the armed Fulani herdsmen on the same day killed three other ECWA members in the area, members of the Yoruba ethnic group, but their names were not readily available as residents said relatives had moved their property out of their house the following afternoon.
Attacks by Fulani militant herdsmen have increased in the past three years, according to Jubilee Campaign.
“Since the beginning of 2018, the violence is again spiking with reported deaths attributed to Fulani militant herdsmen climbing to at least 1,860 people, with an additional 300 plus victims claimed by Boko Haram,” Jubilee reported earlier this year. “Again, most of these victims are Christians from small ethnic minority communities in the northeastern states.”
Christians make up 51.3 percent of Nigeria’s population, while Muslims living primarily in the north and middle belt account for 45 percent.
Nigeria ranked 14th on Open Doors’ 2018 World Watch List of countries where Christians suffer the most persecution.

If I had the money I’d hire mercenaries to go in and ambush the attackers.

Being a follower of Islam removes your conscience. It is truly the most hideous ideology out there.

Did some merc work years ago. Drug traffickers and traffickers in young woman. Buddhists in SE Asia. Later offered a war correspondent job in East Timor and a merc commander’s job of a 50 man platoon in Tashkent on the Silk Road by a Chinese tycoon. All the automatic weapons and RPGs a man could want.

Do you really think the muslum president of Nigeria would allow you to do this?

The West’s mainstream media do not give a damn about the slaughtering of Christians whether in Nigeria or elsewhere on this bigoted and embattled planet. Nor does Pope Francis and the leadership from the US, EU to Downunder, Australia, Canada, and Britain. The death of one Muslim would reap headlines, especially if killed while he or she attempted to murder an Israeli or an innocent Jew raped and killed in some EU Muslim safe-haven nation. Christians and Jews hold no weight of importance or concern from the MSM; they are, after all, deemed the enemy of Globalization and the New World Order, namely, Leftist-Fascism. Meanwhile, the alliance of Islam and the NWO has solidified, partly due to the never-ending propagandizing by the Leftist-Fascist MSM.

The only thing the Fulani herdsmen ever herd are kafir slaves to the muslum slave market. Interesting to see that the Nigerian military might be involved, but that’s what having a muslum president will get you.

The Nigerian military has had Muslims and supporters of terrorism against Christians embedded for awhile. How do you fight terrorism when you must fight against yourself?

There are muslums in positions of authority in the US and British military as well. Some of them have already been involved in killing fellow US servicemen (i.e. the kafir al najjis).

I know. Obama promoted the MB considerably. He did tell the American people that he would always favor Islam over Christianity, which he did. No surprise there. He is a Muslim.

Christian and conservative women have inner beauty that radiates outward. I notice secular and lieberal women (aka Demoncraps) are very, very ughhlee women.
It is true, beauty is only skin deep, but ughlyness is to the bone.

Sixty nine Democrat senators signed a bill to force Trump to import 150,000 muslim refugees next year when they win. They even want 200,000 the next year since they are christians, what do they care? Their mad that Trump only allowed 40,000 and most were christians.

A forgotten story from a few years ago. Two moslem soldiers holding a Christian schoolgirl up by her feet in front of her schoolmates. Another soldier, with his sword, cut the child in two from crotch to head. Then asked the other school children if they would convert to islam!
How could moslems even be considered part of the human race?
How will these immigrants treat our children when they grow in numbers here like a vile cancer.?
islam treats their children as ammunition in their war against Civilization!
