Islamic jihadis raise a great deal of money by collecting ransoms for these people.
“As for the captives, the amir [ruler] has the choice of taking the most beneficial action of four possibilities: the first to put them to death by cutting their necks; the second, to enslave them and apply the laws of slavery regarding their sale and manumission; the third, to ransom them in exchange for goods or prisoners; and fourth, to show favor to them and pardon them. Allah, may he be exalted, says, ‘When you encounter those [infidels] who deny [the Truth=Islam] then strike [their] necks’ (Qur’an sura 47, verse 4)” — Al-Mawardi, al-Ahkam as-Sultaniyyah (The Laws of Islamic Governance).
“Terrorists Attack Nigerian Baptist Church Service In Kaduna, Abduct 40 Worshippers,” Sahara Reporters, May 8, 2023:
No fewer than 40 worshippers were kidnapped by terrorists during a service at the Bege Baptist Church, Madalla on Buruku Baringi road in the Chikun Local Government Area of Kaduna State on Sunday.
The chairman of the Christian Association of Nigeria, Kaduna State chapter, Rev. John Hayab, confirmed the incident to newsmen on Monday in Kaduna.
According to Hayab, the incident occurred around 9:30am during the worship service.
He said, “The worshippers were in the Sunday service in the Church when around 9:30 am they heard gunshots very close to the Church. The gunmen attacked the Church and went away with 40 worshippers.”
He did, however, add that 15 of the abducted worshippers escaped, leaving 25 others in the kidnappers’ den.
“Along the way, somehow 15 of the kidnapped persons returned remaining the rest 25 who are presently in captivity without any word from their abductors,” he said….

And when the news of this reached the U.S. government office where they are supposed to learn, know, research, report on such things, it came out thus, in the report they made of it,
Christians were in their church and while they were having their services, they heard gunshots; then, 40 of them forced some innocent mozums to take them along to their “den” and keep them there. The poor, unfortunate mozlums, didn’t want to object too strongly for fear of being preached to, so they took the Christians along. Some of the Christians didn’t like the hospitality and accommodations, so they returned to their church and homes.
mozlums hate Christians, just as Jesus said Christians would be hated by the “world.” mozlums make up a huge portion of the “world” and they take, and make, every opportunity to murder as many Christians as they are able.
and then other mozlums lie about it and make the claim that Christians are the ones at fault.
and those who support the mozlum agenda, go along with the lies.
