Africa, Jihad’s Deadliest Front: Clergy and Religious Among Catholic Dead in Escalating Muslim Violence

UN rep classifies murders as ‘ISIS-inspired.’ ISIS-inspired is Islam. Such willful blindness and stupidity is without peer.

Among the dead, Sister Inés Nieves who was beheaded and her body mutilated ….A 77-year-old French-Spanish nun who taught impoverished women and girls in volatile Central African Republic.

Clergy and Religious Among Catholic Dead in African Muslim Violence

UN rep classifies murders as ‘ISIS-inspired’

BANGUI, Central African Republic (ChurchMilitant.com) – Murdered Catholic clergy and religious are among the latest victims of Muslim violence against Christians permeating such African countries as Central African Republic (CAR), Mozambique and Burkina Faso.

Sister Inés Nieves Sancho, a Spanish-French Roman Catholic missionary, was beheaded and her body mutilated in CAR earlier this week. Authorities say she was taken from her home in Nola during the night of May 18, relocated to a workshop where she taught CAR women how to sew and subsequently murdered.

Vatican News conjectured Sancho was killed by organ traffickers, which seems unlikely given she was 77 years old in addition to the rise of violence against Catholics in particular and Christians as a whole by Muslims in CAR and other African countries. For example, a Catholic priest, Fr. Landry Ibil Ikwel, 34, was stabbed to death in Mozambique on the same day Sancho’s body was discovered.

ISIS-inspired armed groups pose the greatest threat to stabilizing the region.Tweet

The deaths of Sancho and Ikwel are two of the most recent fatalities of Catholic religious at the hands of extremists. The kidnapping and murder of four Catholics in Burkina Faso earlier this month prompted Bp. Justin Kientega to recommend security measures that include counseling “priests and religious to avoid wearing overtly religious clothing such as the soutane or religious habits that would distinguish them as such,” according to the Zenit News Agency.

Additionally, he “recommended intensifying security measures, especially when traveling, such as not using obviously marked vehicles, traveling only at times when there is plenty of traffic, and never at night, and avoiding traveling always along the same route. He also advised them not to publicize their meetings too far in advance.”

Additional violence was reported against a Catholic church in Dablo in Burkina Faso, which was attacked by militants who killed six people attending Mass on May 12.

As noted by the United Nations, Burkina Faso is only one African country plagued by Muslim violence against Christians:

Violence is spreading in Mali and Niger, as well as Burkina Faso, and risks spilling over into other West African countries. This has led to a five-fold rise in the displacement of the local population in the last 12 months, who have seen more than 330,000 people leave their homes, in addition to 100,000 refugees.

According to Metsi Makhetha, the United Nations resident coordinator in Burkina Faso, “ISIS-inspired” armed groups pose the greatest threat to stabilizing the region.

Attacks by a group associating itself with the Fulani on several CAR villages killed more than 30 people on May 21.

France 24, the state-owned news network based in Paris, reported the attacks were perpetrated by a militia calling itself 3R, a moniker designating three words in French that mean Return, Reclamation and Reconciliation. 3R boasts ties with CAR’s primarily Muslim Fulani ethnic group. As reported previously by Church Militant, Fulani militants are responsible for numerous massacres (here, here and here) of Nigerian Christians.

In a speech given last month to the U.S. Institute of Peace (USIP) in Washington, CAR President Faustin-Archange Touadera stated: “My country became a cliché of hate that might be considered almost predictable between Christians and Muslims.”

Touadera noted that religious strife had little to do with the conflict at the outset. He added that Christian militias only organized after the Muslim Seleka coalition staged the 2013 coup that resulted in them seizing power after which they initiated violence against Christians.

Why do black people join the religion of the original slave traders? These traders bought tribes people from their own chiefs, who made war on other tribes to fulfill their quota.

Sheer ignorance.

Christianity is viewed by some bigots as the “white man’s burden.”

This charlatan is as phony as a three-dollar bill. He despises the Bible and declares much of it uninspired.

2Tim.3:16

[16] All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof,
for correction, for instruction in righteousness:

I learned that as a little kid. We had to memorize verses. I don’t remember all of them but some stand out in my memory.

Also the Bible does not contradict itself as often claimed.

I wish I had learned Scripture as you had, Felix. The earlier, the better. As a little kid I was Catholic – back in the days of Pius XII, John XXIII and Paul VI (Vatican II changed everything).

Fortunately for me God was gracious and patient, and came to a Romans 10-9-13 moment in 1982 at age 32.

The muslims live by the doctrine of hate that requires these actions!

Honestly, there’s nothing we can do.
They need their countries to be developed then controlling migration is easier.

After that they can choose to exclude Muslims from citizenship and deport them if they suspect anything.

That’s about all that can be done. Islam is incredibly abusive and should be rejected by every human being on the planet. There is no sane reason for anyone being a Muslim.

funny, this is the first I have heard- or rather, read about this. Just like the islamic terrorist slaughter against Christians all over Somalia, Nigeria- oh and pretty much across the globe EVERY SINGLE DAY ,with not a peep in the mainstream media. But there was that ONE DAY IN NEW ZEALAND which brought WORLD WIDE GRIEF AND A FULL DAY OF MOURNING!!!
oh well, islam is the most peaceful religion on the planet which is why ALL WE WESTERN NATIONS WELCOME THEM WITH OPEN ARMS, WALLETS, HEARTS AND SO ON TO OUR LANDS, EXEMPT THEM ALL FROM OUR LAWS, ASSIMILATION, WORKING, CONTRIBUTING, AND YES, EVEN PAPERS UPON ARRIVAL. wE THEN BRING THEM INTO OUR GOVERNMENTS , COURTS , PLACES OF LEARNING AND OF COURSE OUR LAW ENFORCEMENT ultimately EMPOWERING, ENRICHING AND SUPPORTING THEIR JIHAD ALL OVER OUR FORMER NATIONS, ALL NOW ISLAMIC TERRORIST SEWERS! Let the white race GENOCIDE continue across what is left ofthe only free, democratic lands on the planet, continue unabated!!

African-Americans should be condemning this, but sadly, they are not, they have viewed Islam as their ally for far too long.
