New in PJ Media:
The news out of Uganda Saturday was horrifying. The Associated Press reported that authorities in that country had “recovered the bodies of 41 people, including 38 students, who were burned, shot or hacked to death after suspected rebels attacked a secondary school near the border with Congo.” The rebels were members of the Allied Democratic Forces (ADF), which despite its name is actually an Islamic group with ties to the Islamic State (ISIS) and aspirations of establishing a caliphate in Central and East Africa. While the world’s attention has been focused on Ukraine, climate and COVID hysteria, and the alleged crimes of Donald Trump, the global jihad, which most Americans regard as a relic from 2001, has been newly resurgent in Africa.
The massacre, according to AP, took place at Lhubiriha Secondary School in the town of Mpondwe, which is near the border of Uganda and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The ADF, says AP, “has been launching attacks for years from bases in volatile eastern Congo.” Mpondwe-Lhubiriha Mayor Selevest Mapoze “said that some of the students suffered fatal burns when the rebels set fire to a dormitory and others were shot or hacked with machetes.” By the time soldiers arrived on the scene, the entire school was ablaze and there were “dead bodies of students lying in the compound,” according to Ugandan military spokesman Brig. Gen. Felix Kulayigye.
Uganda’s New Vision reported Saturday that only three students survived the attack. One of them, a young man named Mumbere Bright, recounted that “the rebels immediately shot dead the student who was at the entrance after entering the dormitory.” He added, “The rebels asked for Muslims among the students, but there were none. The rebels said they do not kill fellow believers.” After that, “they slaughtered every student in their sight using pangas, axes and sharp objects.”
The fact that the rebels hoped to separate Muslims from the other students before beginning their massacre is noteworthy. The Qur’an forbids Muslims to kill fellow Muslims (4:92); regarding non-Muslims, however, it repeats the injunction to “kill them wherever you find them” (2:191, 4:89, cf. 9:5), although subjugating them under Islamic rule is also offered as an option (9:29). There have been many instances in which jihadis separated Muslims from a crowd before killing the non-Muslims. Even in the U.S., a jihad terrorist in Minnesota in 2016 asked mall shoppers if they were Muslim and then stabbed non-Muslims.
There is more. Read the rest here.

Liberals will reject all the examples offered in this column as applying only to radical extremists and not normal Muslims. Normal Muslims are indistinguishable from norman Christians, or are better persons even. These examples do not persuade liberals from pushing for massive muslim immigration and also illegal immigration. They see Muslims as a different form of liberal and thus desirable, more so than conservatives, including Republicans.

Yep, as the most important things…pronouns, pride parades, flags flying, sun heating things up/snow cooling things off, ice cream flavors, race and equity, reparations,…all those important things and more, make the daily news, and the wh gets involved…..
Christians are being slaughtered simply because they are Christian and not mozlum.
The teen wearing a shirt proclaiming the Truth about genders…that there are not hundreds…gets kicked out of school and a “judge” says the school is right, and biden claiming all the children belong to the government and people riot if you disagree with the ‘trans’ alphabet confusion, but they totally are ok with the slaughter in Africa….because it’s mozlums, their new and important pets…doing the murders., and it’s mainly Christians who are dying.
The world is in deep trouble and shallow minds are in charge of things.

This is the tree-in-the-forest phenomenon: if a tree falls in the forest….
Since it’s not happening here, but across the Atlantic in Africa, it’s not happening. In the eyes of most Americans, who’re tired of being lectured about Ukraine when there are enough problems back here

If it goes on long enough, the governments won’t have to wonder if those floating boats full of “migrants” contain any group besides the mozlum variety

If you wonder about the intellectual ability of leftists in America just look at Hollywood. Saturday morning cartoons reshaped and recycled and put out as major movies for adults. There you have it.

We ma have lost Afghanistan and turned Iraq into an unholy mess (if it was ever anything else), but the West made the point that if you mess with us, we would go in and break things. Hence, the Jihadis look for easier prey in Subsaharan Africa. May the Christians of Africa fall under God’s protection, and may they possess the gate of their Islamic enemies.
