So sad. Islam is an evil religion.

nigeria, again. And again.
“The bandits, suspected to be herdsmen,” mozlums, mozlums, mozlum scum, sons of satan the devil, doing their father’s desires.
The poor kids, the poor babies. They will be raped, murdered or used as weapons against other Christians.
And the poor boys sent out to gather food.
The “government” won’t help because it’s made up of the same kind of ghoul….mozlums, sons of satan.
May the Almighty God in heaven soon stop and destroy this satanic cult everywhere.

They are not bandits, they are jihadis and devoted muslims. Saying they are bandits is the same as saying the holy prophet Muhammad as a bandit because those jihadis simply copy cat Muhammad’s jihad, attacking civilians, killing and abducting those who are not killed.
Killing, robbing and raping infidels will be rewarded by Allah and will ensure their places in heaven.
What a religion Islam is. Every bandit, rapist and murderer should become muslim, because they won’t be charged for their crime, instead they will b praised as heroes.

This evil was happening in Nigeria on Christmas day.
That very same Christmas day, as I was enjoying a coffee and a cheese Danish, way in the back of my mind I thought that something terrible may be happening in Nigeria.
But I tried not to think about it…
