Jihad Church attack: Gunmen open fire at mass service – priest among six dead

16

Muslim terror groups such as the Islamic State (ISIS/ISIL) and the Taliban made their annual call to arms as Ramadan approached, claiming Allah exceptionally rewards martyrdom during the holy month. In ISIS’s latest video, the ISIS chief alluded to pledges of allegiance from Islamic terrorists in Mali and Burkina Faso, which just experienced its first deadly jihadi attack on a Christian church.

This is the second Muslim terrorist attack in as many weeks. Today a Catholic priest and five others died. Last month, an Assemblies of God pastor and five others died.

A group of gunmen broke into a Catholic church in Burkina Faso on Sunday morning during Mass and began shooting at the congregation, Radio France Internationale (RFI) reported. At least six people were killed, and a priest was among those who died. The church is located in the village of Dablo, located 90km from Kaya. The mayor of Dablo, Ousmane Zongo, told AFP: “Towards 9:00am, during mass, armed individuals burst into the Catholic Church.

“They started firing as the congregation tried to flee.”

Mr Zongo added: “They burned down the church, then shops and a small restaurant before going to the health centre where they searched the premises and set fire to the head nurse’s vehicle.”

“The city is filled with panic. People are holed up at home. Shops and stores are closed. It’s practically a ghost town.”

This is the first reported attack on a Catholic church, which comes just a week after gunmen killed five people at Protestant church in the northern town of Silgadji.

The attack comes two days after four hostages were released in northern Burkina Faso.

Two French special forces lost their lives in the raid, killing four kidnappers and rescuing all four hostages.

No reporting from MSM or Deep State Media (DSM). Not interested. After all, only Christian people were attacked and killed. Islam gets another pass. It is Ramadan, after all.

Isaiah 5:20: Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!

For every Islamic attack on Christians they should round up 100,000 muslims from each western country and deport them back to their Islamic shitholes. Within a very short time there would be no muslims in the West, as it should be

These events, and all the others that occur daily, which prove the sickness that is Islam, should be used as a response to those among us, and that includes the newly elected Muslim reps, to prominently point out that their belief system is a poison for all free world societies, and that if they continue to bad mouth all us others for what their own people have caused themselves and are causing worldwide against others, we might consider prosecuting them for treasonous conduct. We must speak out against their patently un-American views, as Islam is the anti-thesis of everything we here in America hold dear.

While Pope Dope kisses imams, other muslums slaughter his flock, he should be impeached.

If that is not a valid reason for the head of the Catholic
Church to kiss the Grand Imam of al-Azhar, then what?

Sadly, for all their claims of love for black people and the oppressed, the leftist media seems to be fairly silent on the many terror attacks in Africa.

That’s because the Commiecrats and their allies don’t care for black people who wander off their plantation.

When they killed the 4 kidnappers did they display their dead bodies like trophies? Maybe we should return to that to dissuade other Mouslems from becoming trophies for the West?

If they want to be like wild animals this is what should be done. We do that when we go hunting or fishing for a bear, Marlin, Goat, Deer, etc. We string ’em up and take pictures.

We did that in the old West. Some were displayed in their coffins. So it’s nothing new. And boy did it stop the bad guys. One guy even preserved the head of one of them. Still in solution, I’m told.

Now you see why I carry a concealed weapon on me everywhere I go, especially to church.

Why have these attacks, murders, abductions received little coverage? We would not know except for this news site.
If you do not complain, no one will hear you.

Christians need now more than ever an armed, highly trained security force to protect their churches and monuments. We have to finally understand that Islam is at war with Christianity and Judaism and we have to use force to protect ourselves and repel the invaders,

And here in America the Pelosi is bringing a moslem imam to address congress! For every Christian murdered by a moslem there should be 10,000 moslems executed!
Proscribe islam now or we will be slaves or worse under islamic sharia.
