“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)
“Four Christians Killed in Benue State, Central Nigeria,” Morning Star News, October 11, 2024:
ABUJA, Nigeria (Christian Daily International–Morning Star News) – Fulani herdsmen killed two Christians in central Nigeria’s Benue state on Wednesday (Oct. 9) and two others in another part of the state on Oct. 3, local sources said.
In northeastern Benue state’s Logo County, herdsmen on Wednesday attacked the village of Ayilamo, killing university student Solomon Kwanta and another Christian, area residents said.
“Apart from the two Christians killed during the attack, many other Christians were injured,” said Benard Chia in a message to Christian Daily International-Morning Star News. “Armed Fulani herdsmen attacked Ayilamo community in Logo Local Government Area of Benue state at about midnight on Wednesday.”
Kwanta was a final-year student at the University of Calabar who was back in the village on break, Chia said….
Tyongi Emmanuel, another village resident, said the situation was dire. “Everyone here is on the run, as we have all been displaced,” he said, while villager Tsavsar Msughaondo told Christian Daily International-Morning Star News, “Fulani herdsmen have taken over our ancestral lands; we are therefore calling on the Nigerian government to quickly intervene here in the Ayilamo area of Benue state in order to end these unprovoked attacks on us.”
In Kwande County in the southeastern part of the state, herdsmen on Oct. 3 killed two Christians in Tse Wende, villagers said.
Fabian Terseer identified the slain Christians as Terwse Azege and Orseer Kende.
“Attacks by armed Fulani herders have become a common occurrence here,” Terseer said. “Unfortunately, media organizations have not given these incidents adequate coverage. The sad thing too is that the Nigerian government has not deemed it necessary to take steps towards ending these attacks on our communities. For how long are we expected to endure these killing epidemics?”
Numbering in the millions across Nigeria and the Sahel, predominantly Muslim Fulani comprise hundreds of clans of many different lineages who do not hold extremist views, but some Fulani do adhere to radical Islamist ideology, the United Kingdom’s All-Party Parliamentary Group for International Freedom or Belief (APPG) noted in a 2020 report….

When is there going to be a consensus among non Muslims that Islam is the greatest danger to mankind? Not Russia, not China. Not socialism. Not capitalism. But the hatred for everyone who is not Muslim by Muslims makes for the greatest danger to all sorts of people on every continent. Jews may be Enemy Number One for Muslims just as they were for the Nazis. But Christians, Hindus,Ba’hai, Agnostics, Atheists, Pagans, etc. are all hatred by Muslims in varying degree. There should be a WARNING-DANGER ! label on every Muslim for people in Europe, America, Africa, South America, Australia, Philippines,basically everywhere. If Muslims were ostracized by every non Muslim they would realize either they have to change or at least be less willing to attack or threaten non Muslims. Those Muslims who do not view most of Mankind as “Enemies” might stand up and say “We must change our religion to accept everyone as equals” It might even wind up forcing a greatly needed Muslim Reformation where concepts such as “Infidel” is banned by Muslims themselves and might make them join the 21st Century as far as how Women are treated by Islam and code called “Sharia” Law is dropped. The way to make fascists change their views is not to keep saying things like “Fascism is a legal code of behavior that is the right of those practicing it to behave”. That is what the absurdity of saying “Islam is the Religion of Peace” when it is the actually the exact opposite.

There is not much different in the hatred level for all non muslim groups. All of them are supposed to be killed or enslaved. It is just a matter of priority, which one is first to be annihilated. If the Jews is the first, it is simply because Israel is the thorn on the eyes of muslims, a tiny country among Islamic countries that continuosly win wars against Islamic armies. The Islamic countries have been oppressing and killing non muslims from the beginning of Islam, whether there are Jews or not.

“armed fulani herdsmen”…a.k.a. mozlum terrorists, and in the words of Christ, “offspring of vipers”, “from your (their) father, the devil, doing the desires of your (their) father.”
They may feature the forms of “men,” but they are scummy dross, slugs, and thugs. They will reap as they are sowing. and hopefully, that reaping begins soon.
Revelation 14: 15 “Then another angel came out of the temple and called in a loud voice to him who was sitting on the cloud, “Take your sickle and reap, because the time to reap has come, for the harvest of the earth is ripe.” 16 So he who was seated on the cloud swung his sickle over the earth, and the earth was harvested.”

As nick correctly notes above:

While Christians do suffer greatly at the hands of Muslims, Allah’s slaves threaten all
mankind.
Yes, I’ve been a Raymond Ibrahim newsletter subscriber for years.

Just horrifying–the poor victims. And of course I’ve heard nothing about this story in the West.
