Here as in Nigeria and elsewhere, the idea is to maximize the terror that the victims feel, in accord with the Qur’anic command: “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)
The jihadis burn down the Christians’ homes so that even those who survive the massacre will free the area, so that it can become “Muslim land.”

“At Least 72 Christians Massacred by Islamists Across Ituri, D. R. Congo,” Barnabas Aid, September 8, 2026:
The lives of at least 72 Christians have been added to the growing death toll of Islamist terrorism in northeastern Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC).
These latest killings mean that more than 200 of our brothers and sisters have been massacred in Ituri Province since mid-July.
In the worst incident on August 28, fighters from Islamic State Central Africa Province (ISCAP) slaughtered 29 believers in the villages of Mabakoa and Biam, near Biakto.
The terrorists also burned down 40 houses as hundreds of villagers fled for safety.
The following day ISCAP fighters captured and beheaded nine Christians in the village of Amani, and killed a further two outside the village.
More than 1,370 Christians Dead
ISCAP (also known by its former name of ADF) has slaughtered more than 1,370 Christians in northeastern DRC since December 2024….

“How dreadful are the curses which Mohammedanism lays on its votaries! Besides the fanatical frenzy, which is as dangerous in a man as hydrophobia (that’s pathognomonic of rabies) in a dog, there is this fearful fatalistic apathy.
A degraded sensualism deprives this life of its grace and refinement; the next of its dignity and sanctity. The fact that in Mohammedan law every woman must belong to some man as his absolute property, either as a child, a wife, or a concubine, must delay the final extinction of slavery until the faith of Islam has ceased to be a great power among men.
Indeed, no stronger retrograde force exists in the world. Far from being moribund, Mohammedanism is a militant and proselytizing faith. Moreover, the religion of Islam, above all others, was founded and propagated by the sword. Furthermore, it provides monetary and carnal incentives to slaughter, and, across three continents, has raised fighting breeds of men filled with a wild and merciless fanaticism! And had it not been that European Christianity is sheltered in the strong arms of science, the science against which it had vainly struggled, the Civilisation of Modern Europe would have fallen, as fell the Civilisation of Ancient Rome.” — Winston Churchill, “The River War”
✝️ Christian ✝️ says
“Christianity is not the creed of Asia and Africa today, solely because the seventh-century Christians of Asia and Africa had trained themselves not to fight, whereas the Moslems were trained to fight.
Christianity has been saved in Europe, solely because the peoples of Europe have fought TO DATE. If the peoples of Europe in the seventh and eighth centuries, and on up to and including the seventeenth century, had not possessed a military equality with, and gradually a growing superiority over, the Mohammedans who invaded Europe, Europe would have been at this moment Mohammedan and the Christian religion would have been exterminated!
Wherever the Mohammedans had complete sway, wherever the Christians had been unable to resist them by the sword, and Christianity has ultimately disappeared. From the hammer of Charles Martel to the sword of John III Sobieski, Christianity owed its safety in Europe to the fact that it was able to show that it could and would fight as well as the Mohammedan aggressors.
The Civilization of Europe, America, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand exists today only by virtue of the victories of civilized man over the enemies of civilization; victories through the centuries from Martel in the eighth century and those of Sobieski in the seventeenth century. During the thousand years that included the careers of the Frankish soldier and the Polish King, the Christians of Asia and Africa proved unable to wage successful war with the Moslem conquerors, and, in consequence, Christianity has practically vanished from the two continents, and today, nobody can find in them any ‘social values’ whatsoever, in the sense in which we use the words, so far as the sphere of Mohammedan influences are concerned.
There are such ‘social values’ today in Europe, America, Canada, Australia, and NZ only because during those thousand years, the Christians of Europe possessed the warlike power to do what the Christians of Asia and Africa had failed to do — that is, to beat back the Moslem invaders.” — Teddy Roosevelt, former POTUS

Thank you, Christian, for the Churchill and Roosevelt quotes.

Sadly, this will continue until Christ returns to carry out the promises He made to His disciples before He ascended to heaven.
The Bible assures us that “God has set a Day,” to “Do His Will on earth as He does in heaven.”
“For he has set a day when he will judge the world with justice by the man he has appointed. He has given proof of this to everyone by raising him from the dead.”” ( The Book of Acts of the Apostles)
“Fleeing” from the places is what Jesus said they must do, and they will not “complete the circuit of the cities” before He returns.
I pray the Christians will endure in their faith and not give up. Those who have been murdered, will rise from their graves into a new and better life.
