Christian woman forced to watch Muslim terrorists butcher her husband

‘I watched as my husband was butchered to death’

The full horror of Islamic militia violence in north-east Nigeria has been revealed in a Christian woman’s very personal account of torture, grief, and survival against all the odds.
Speaking in an interview with Catholic charity Aid to the Church in Need, Catherine Ibrahim described how Boko Haram gunmen forced her to watch as they killed her husband.

As jihadis entered her village, she ran home to rescue her children – Salome, then aged seven, and five-year-old Daniel – but by the time she got there, the fighters had arrived.

Catherine said: “Then, one of the insurgents savagely dragged me, so I could witness my husband’s death.

“They butchered my husband mercilessly, and they made sure that I saw it all. I can’t forget the fear in his eyes. I don’t want to say more than this. I hate to remember.”

Helpless as her children were taken into captivity by Boko Haram, Catherine went on to describe how she set off in search of them – only to be seized herself.

She was thrown into a detention camp and there – to her astonishment – she was reunited with Salome and Daniel.

But tears of joy turned to sadness when she was punished for trying to escape.

She was separated from her children and for two weeks her feet were tied together and her hands were bound behind her neck.

Her captors tortured her until they drew blood.

Nigeria: Christian woman forced to watch Boko Haram kill her husband

The full horror of Islamist militia violence in north-east Nigeria has been revealed in a Christian woman’s very personal account of torture, grief and survival against all the odds.

Speaking in an interview with Catholic charity Aid to the Church in Need, Catherine Ibrahim described how Boko Haram gunmen forced her to watch as they killed her husband.

As insurgents entered her village, she ran home to rescue her children – Salome, then aged seven, and five-year-old Daniel – but by the time she got there, the fighters had arrived.

Catherine said: “Then, one of the insurgents savagely dragged me, so I could witness my husband’s death. They butchered my husband mercilessly, and they made sure that I saw it all. I can’t forget the fear in his eyes. I don’t want to say more than this. I hate to remember.”

Helpless as her children were taken into captivity by Boko Haram, Catherine went on to describe how she set off in search of them – only to be seized herself.

She was thrown into a detention camp and there – to her astonishment – she was reunited with Salome and Daniel. But tears of joy turned to sadness when she was punished for trying to escape.

She was separated from her children and for two weeks her feet were tied together and her hands were bound behind her neck. Her captors tortured her until they drew blood.

During her captivity, Catherine prayed to God in her local language. She discovered that her guard also spoke this language and that they were from the same tribe. She believes the guard played a part in her being eventually released from the camp.

Following her release Catherine’s mother-in-law nursed her back to health – and three years later she was reunited with her children in a displacement camp run by the Catholic diocese of Maiduguri.

Catherine said: “Now that I am back with my children and mother-in-law, my joy knows no bounds. But my husband’s death – and having to watch it – will haunt me forever.”

Catherine has had six months of physiotherapy but has still not fully regained the use of her hands.

In north-east Nigeria, ACN has prioritised emergency aid for people caught up in Boko Haram atrocities, as well as pastoral help.

What this woman has gone through paralyzes our brain from the shock and disbelief of it. God, did you see this?
Where is the world’s condemnation, the indignation, the outrage?! WHERE IS IT?
God, do YOU see this? Whom do we go to for help? Who listens to us?
How will this woman and her children taste justice? Where is justice for her?
I pray God will look down on the world, and judge this. May their silence condemn them.

He is coming soon. He sees everything. She will get justice.
Never doubt that. Notice HER prayers were answered. She survived, reunited with her children and she is free and lived to tell us about it.

I can’t imagine seeing my spouse butchered in front of me and not able to stop it.
That is psychological torture. It will haunt her but hopefully like a warm blanket on a cold night, love will comfort her. She will be avenged.

Let’s do our part and pray for her and her loved ones. People can feel it when you pray for them. Atheists will never understand that. They are to be pitied. Her children are what she is living for and will help her to move forward. Ignore the scoffers!

People should be careful about believing anything this poster has to say. He idiotically claimed that in the USA it was legal to kill babies moments after birth (Ref 1). Nowhere in the US is that true. FWIW, I just checked, and he had not backed off his false assertion.

So doubt whatever he says- verify for yourself before accepting his word.

(Sigh- he removed his stupid poem, to which I was primarily responding- but my comment still stands).

Nowhere did I come close to suggesting that my not liking what felix or anyone else says, makes it in any way untrue. Simply another example of the utter mendaciousness of the “goon squad”.

My comment above in response to felix linked where his false comment is presented. In response, I cited reputable sources that gave the lie to his preposterous and calumnious claim about infanticide in the USA.

Yes, Lying Latrine Spunk, is a wacked (sic) out lib.

Readers with any kind of discernment should note that when I noted felix’s lie*, I provided chapter and verse and directed people to where his claim was falsified.

Santa, on the other hand, banally accuses me of lying, but provides no clue as to where. His claim is sheer calumny. That, in addition to his childish rendition of my name, is the very essence of “goonery”.

It’s ironic that the “goon squad” is as untrustworthy, and, even as hateful in their own way, as the Moslems they, in turn, so hate.

* or at very least untruthful, and obstinately so, as, he leaves his false claim in place

Aw gee and why shouldn’t any one of the kafir al najjis hate muslums foolio? Perhaps because they are fascists who slaughtered millions of unbelievers in islum in the 20th century and tens of thousands of unbelievers in islum already in the 21st?

So, YOUR HEAD IS IN THE SAND?

1st before the 70s, it was ILLEGAL to have an abortion.

Now, it is legal.

A bill just passed allowing abortion up to birth:
https://www.liveaction.org/news/abortion-birth-legal-united-states/

DO YOU REALLY THINK IT WILL STOP HERE?
Next up, if your child is born and you don’t like that it is a girl, you can kill it. OR, how about, if you just don’t want the baby, you can kill it. THAT IS THE NEXT THING THAT WILL HAPPEN, IF IT ISN’T HAPPENING ALREADY, and I believe IT IS.

YOU ARE BEHIND THE TIMES. It is coming fast.

THEN, it will be the elderly. Already, California has euthanasia laws on the books.
http://www.euthanasia.com/bystate.html

Some of you moderates and liberals have absolutely NO CLUE about what is at the end of this LONG road of death.

God Almighty is going to have a ‘field day’ on Judgement Day with you folks. You are going to stand there, blame others, but you will be standing alone. Jesus won’t be there to help you IF your name is not in His BOOK OF LIFE (note I said LIFE not death). Even some so-called ‘Christians’, I call CINOS (Christian in name only) who have betrayed Biblical principles (subverting the Gospel) will be punished, meaning there is no such thing as once saved always saved. IT IS those people who are filled with the Holy Spirit and who actually LISTEN to God who will be in Heaven…..and not those who claim to be Christian but do not listen to Him or follow Him. If you believe our Constitution was Godly inspired, then you cannot possible be a Democrat because Free Speech, self-defense and the other rights contained therein are GODLY RIGHTS and Democrat liberals are against those.

Only YOU know if that is you or not. Hell will be filled with people who THOUGHT they were ‘good’ people. Problem is, it will take a RIGHTEOUS (in right-standing with God/JESUS CHRIST) to enter Heaven and this means JESUS MUST BE YOUR PERSONAL SAVIOR. Otherwise, you are doomed. THAT IS IN THE BIBLE. It will never get old. It can never be changed. It will never be untrue.

HELL IS ALREADY ON EARTH. Now, people need to CHOOSE WHOM THEY WILL SERVE WHILE HERE. I choose Jesus Christ, even unto death.

Thank you felix. I pray often for many in those afflicted lands to find an escape when they come face to face with the evil that surrounds them, and for those who will fall into their captors hands and confront the hate of those who know not the one true God and His Son whom He sent, I pray that the Comforter be with them and that together, they be a testimony against the haters come judgement day but to those among them who still have a conscience, a means to salvation. While it is heartening to see the move of God in all these matters, I will join with you in praying for those survivors who must deal with the horrors they’ve witnessed.

GOD SAW THIS and if she is a Christian, we need to pray for her and her family. Her Husband is walking with Jesus, hallelujah!

THIS NEEDS TO HAPPEN WITH ALL TRUE CHRISTIANS IN THE WORLD:
TO THE MUSLIMS:

“I’ll see your Jihad. And, I will raise you one CRUSADE.”

This is a story that has been told hundreds of millions of times over the last 1450 years,and yet we do not make an effort to stop it by annihilating the vicious cult or Islam that masquerades as a religion.Islam is the recreation of Baal vy the devil Muhammad, the very cult God himself commanded be destroyed.

I follow news of Christian persecution around the world and pray for the victims and those bringing the true Gospel to the world. It seems as if every few days I hear of a fresh attack on Christians and churches in Nigeria alone. 46 Christians were killed just a few days before the mosque killings in New Zealand, an event I have to question as possibly being a deep state false flag. I never hear of Muslims, the MSM, the UN, or heads of state speaking up against the genocide against Christians in Africa and other places. I am saddened about the mosque killings. The MSM is going to milk this for all they can in an attempt to blame white people and nationalists. Meanwhile it is crickets chirping for the persecuted Christians. The MSM and the globalists are fine with the slaughter of Christians.

The Bible told us this would happen and we ARE ALLOWED TO DEFEND OURSELVES even tho’ SOME so-called Christians think we should just lay down and accept death. GOD IS LIFE. SATAN IS DEATH. So, if you are attacked, you CAN defend your life or the lives of your loved ones, ANY WAY YOU WANT. Remember, Jesus didn’t take the sword away from Peter in the Garden and then throw it away. Jesus healed the soldier and then gave the sword back to Peter. This meant that Jesus could defend himself HIS WAY. If someone intrudes into my home, YOU HAD BETTER BELIEVE I WILL KILL THEM FOR DOING SO and let God sort them out. That is not only my 2nd Amendment right and my Castle law right, but IT IS MY RIGHT UNDER GOD’S LAW to defend my LIFE.

I realize this incident happened outside the USA, but if more Christians would defend themselves overseas, then this would happen: “I’ll see your Jihad. And, I’ll raise you one CRUSADE.”…….if you understand what that means.

The purpose of the 2nd Amendment is now being distorted as allowing Americans the right to hunt for food, and maybe even protect your home if you live in an amenable state. But the Founders were so wise they knew that an armed citizenry could insist on keeping the government from going rogue. I agree with those who say you will either fear your government or they will fear you. No one complains about Switzerland’s citizens being armed by law as a ready militia to protect the state. I am not one that buys into the false doctrine that Christians should give up their rights because “this is not our home.” God has us here in physical bodies for now so we can do good on this earth. Tolerating evil is not good.

I know this won’t help much except to/for other Christians who actually UNDERSTAND why we come to Christ, BUT the man murdered is walking with JESUS CHRIST and I would rather be THERE than HERE any day. THAT in itself, is the hope of our calling. (Ephesians 1:18)
