What does he think it is? “The brutality with which the terrorists operate has made it clear that this is not a religious conflict, but a phenomenon driven by factors such as money laundering, drug trafficking, the squandering of mineral resources, among other types of crime.”
What makes Nyusi think the brutality of the Islamic State is against Islam? And what makes him think that “money laundering, drug trafficking, the squandering of mineral resources, among other types of crime” are incompatible with religious objectives? Can he explain why, if this is not a religious conflict, Muslims killed Christians and not, say, fellow Muslims?
“Mozambique: Islamic State claims attack that killed ‘three Christians,'” by Geraldine Boechat, MedAfrica, November 14, 2023 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
The extremist group Islamic State (IS) claimed an attack on the village of Novo Cabo, Macomia district, in the Mozambican province of Cabo Delgado, saying that it killed “three Christians” and set fire to at least 14 houses.
Through propaganda channels, the group assumed that the attack on the “Christian village” took place on Friday November 10, using machine guns by “soldiers of the caliphate”….
In September, the President of Mozambique, Filipe Nyusi, acknowledged that terrorism, which has been affecting the province of Cabo Delgado for six years, is a “serious new threat to peace”, but stressed that it is not a religious conflict.
“A serious new threat to peace in Mozambique is terrorism, a phenomenon that has been affecting our country, specifically the province of Cabo Delgado, since October 2017. The brutality with which the terrorists operate has made it clear that this is not a religious conflict, but a phenomenon driven by factors such as money laundering, drug trafficking, the squandering of mineral resources, among other types of crime,” said the President….

Yeah, right. It is not a religiouns conflict, it is just a one side attack in the form of Islamic juhad toward other group(s) who is peaceful.

They just don’t care about their oppressed non-Muslims. Just like the president Buhari in Nigeria he is trying to cover up these crimes. The international pro-islam media also covers up these attacks claiming that it’s not the religion’s fault. Yet groups like the islamic state always make it clear that their goal is to eradicate the non-muslims from the face of earth. They even stated and made it clear that islamic state will always attack infidels even if they are not fighting against them.

Do we have a reliable number on these Christian murders that have been going on for years unnoticed outside of jihadwatch?
It’s so hard to get good information despite having a freaking supercomputer in my pocket. Censorship is real.

Robert Fisk estimated the number of Armenian Xians, killed by Muslim Azeris, Turks and Kurds in the 1915 ‘cleansing’ at 1.5m..
Wiki estimates 500k to 2m Xian Ibo civilians were terminated one way or another by the mainly Fulani/Hausa Nigerian army in the Biafra War of ’67 to70..
2.5 to 4m were displaced, some to the UK..
The Nigerian army was supported and armed by Harold Wilson.
