What would move people to commit acts of such savage cruelty? Could it possibly be a divine command to strike terror in those who believe differently?
“Make ready for them all that you can of force and of warhorses, so that by them you may strike terror in the enemy of Allah and your enemy…” (Qur’an 8:60)
“Burkina Faso: Terrorists carry out brutal massacre over three days,” ACN International, October 16, 2024:
In early October, terrorists killed at least 150 people, including many Christians, in northeastern Burkina Faso, revealing their increasing brutality and determination to spread terror in a country where insurgents now control over half of the territory.
On Sunday, 6 October 2024, a new terrorist attack took place in the town of Manni in the East Region of Burkina Faso. Various local sources told Aid to the Church in Need (ACN) that the death toll exceeded 150. The town is home to a large Catholic community, and many Christians, as well as Muslims, were killed in the massacre.
The sources told ACN that the terrorists first cut mobile phone networks before attacking the local market, where many people had gathered after Mass. They then opened fire indiscriminately, looted shops and set fire to several buildings, burning some victims alive. The same sources reported that the next day, the perpetrators returned to attack medical staff and kill the many wounded in the city’s hospital. A new incursion took place on Tuesday, 8 October, when the terrorists again invaded the town of Manni, massacring all the men they could find.
Many of the victims were residents from nearby villages who had sought refuge in Manni after being driven out of their homes by terrorists. “The situation is beyond horrific,” one of the local sources told ACN. “But even if the terrorists burned everything, they didn’t burn our faith!”…
According to ACN sources, who have closely followed the situation in the country, the terrorists are attempting to divide the population, which is otherwise known for its harmony between Muslims and Christians. The Catholic Church is doing everything it can to maintain these good relations….
Good luck, fellas.

Absolutely not *divine commands.* Instead they are demonic commands. The mozlums may believe…may believe…the commands are *divine,* but if so, they are sadly, terribly mistaken. The psychopaths among them just want to rape, torture, destroy and murder.
and the witness to this is correct….the mozlums can ‘burn’ everything but the Christian’s faith.
Where are the governmental authorities? Are they, like hamas, hezbollah, the iranian mullahs, the mozlum government in Nigeria….in agreement with this demonic behavior?

For goodness sake, recognise EVIL for what it is , happens all too often by those professing love and peace. Everyday occurrence somewhere . The world doesn’t fall for it any longer. With instant notification we learn about the evils of those trying to get us to submit to them and their god, NO CHANCE.

What is it with these Islamists. Why do they revel in murdering people, including ones already in hospital. What on earth inspires them, seems most inhuman to me.

These are vary low IQ and uneducated people for the most part.
Why is the rest of the world arming them with these weapons? ” MONEY” and yes it truly is BLOOD MONEY at the cost mostly of CHRISTIANs lives.
Major Tom says
Are these Christians armed? Are they resisting? Or are they lambs at the slaughter?

If muslims are killed by Israel, the world cries.
If the Jews or people in the west are killed by the muslims, non muslims in the west cry,
If black Africans are killed by the muslims, the world is silent. Including most of the Jihadwatch readers. What a shame.
Skeptiker says
Der Koran ist wie Hitler’s “Mein Kampf” eine Handlungsanleitung zum Töten aller Juden und Ungläubigen. Dieses faschistische Herrenmenschen-Denken des Islam stößt im Westen nicht auf absolute Ablehnung und Ekel. Nein. Ich muss mit Bestürzung feststellen, das im modernen aufgeklärten Westen, wo ich sozialisiert wurde plötzlich Wissenschaft, Aufklärung, Humanismus, Gleichberechtigung, Menschenrechte wieder verhandelbar sind.
