Nigerian Muslim Herders Attack Christians With Machetes; 300 Dead
Posted by Jim Hoft on Sunday, March 7, 2010, 9:52 PM
Nigerian Muslim herders attacked Christian villages with machetes at 3 in the morning. The Muslims hacked the Christians as they fled out of their homes. Up to 300 are feared dead.

Reuters reported:
Nigeria’s acting president Sunday ordered the security forces to hunt down those behind clashes involving Muslim herders and Christian villagers in which more than 300 people may have been killed.
The latest unrest in Nigeria’s central Plateau state comes at a difficult time, with acting leader Goodluck Jonathan trying to assert his authority while ailing President Umaru Yar’Adua remains too sick to govern the oil-producing nation.
Villagers in Dogo Nahawa, just south of the state capital Jos, said Hausa-Fulani herders from surrounding hills attacked at about 3 a.m. (10 p.m. EST), shooting into the air before cutting those who came out of their homes with machetes.
A Red Cross official said at least two other nearby communities were also targeted, in an area close to where sectarian clashes killed hundreds of people in January, but that it was too early to give an overall death toll.
A Reuters witness counted more than 120 bodies — most lying in Dogo Nahawa, others taken to mortuaries in Jos — but Plateau State Commissioner for Information Gregory Yenlong said more than 300 people, including women and children, had died.
The Nigerian Guardian has more on the attacks:
“The attack, yet another jihad and provocation of the Christians, started at about 1.30 a.m. last night. We are in touch with the survivors though many of them are still in trauma.
“Dogo Nahawa is a Christian community. The eye-witnesses say the Hausa-Fulani Muslim militants came chanting ‘Allahukabar’ and broke into homes, cutting human beings, including children and women with their knives and cutlasses.

I knew about this before the election but now I am questioning why he would always say we are war with al qaeda and wanting to make peace with the taliban. obama campaigned for odinga promising him to help establish sharia law if odinga got elected.
Marsh commented:
I remember the founder of Blackwater, Eric Prince, was accused of donating money to Christian defense groups in Africa by some leftist magazine; as if that was one of his many crimes that he and his company are guilty of. God forbid the man try to help innocent peaceful Christians to defend themselves from Islamofascists who are beheading Christians, raping Christians and even enslaving Christians all across Africa (and the world) just because they’re Christians (in the 21st century!). The Western left is ~completely~ in denial over the true imperialist and oppressive nature of Islam. We need to brush them aside and pull an Eric Prince and start arming these people so they can defend themselves against these Islamist barbarians.
PS. WHY AREN’T MORE CHRISTIANS AWARE OF AND OUTRAGED BY THE MUSLIM PERSECUTION OF CHRISTIANS ACROSS THE GLOBE??? WAKE UP!!!

The program will be funded by a “Peace and Reintegration Trust Fund,” dubbed the “Taliban Trust Fund” by many, that will cost $500 million over five years.
The Elector of Saxony commented:
I guess they were just enraged by Israel, or US imperialism, or George Bush. I mean, it couldn’t be anything else, right? Islam is the religion of peace, after all. Perhaps I misunderstood and it is the religion of hacking people to pIEce(s)?

Conflict between Islam and the West is not new. Famous men in the past elaborated on Islam because there was a conflict. They understood Islam in 1830, so are our leaders ignoring wisdom from the past, derived from centuries of civilization and experience? Are they really in denial, or are they merely pretending they just don’t get it? Do we have collective amnesia, or have post modernism, liberal secularism, and PC removed
the yardstick to determine right from wrong, and good from evil…?
President Adams on Islam
“In the seventh century of the Christian era a wandering Arab, of the lineage of Hagar, the Egyptian, combing the powers of transcendent genius with the preternatural energy of a fanatic and the fraudulent spirit of an imposter, proclaimed himself as a messenger from heaven, and spread desolation and delusion over an extensive portion of the earth. Adopting, from the sublime conception of the Mosaic law, the doctrine of one omnipotent God, he connected indissolubly with it the audacious falsehood, that he was himself his prophet and apostle. Adopting from the new revelation of Jesus, the faith and hope of immortal life, and of future retribution, he humbled it to the dust by adapting all the rewards and sanctions of his religion to the gratification of the sexual passion. He poisoned the sources of human felicity at the fountain, by degrading the condition of the female sex, and the allowance of polygamy; and he declared undistinguishing and exterminating war as part of his religion against all the rest of mankind. The essence of his doctrine was violence and lust; to exalt the brutal over the spiritual part of human nature. Between these two religions, thus contrasted in the characters, a war of more than twelve hundred years has already raged. That war is yet flagrant; nor can it cease but by the extincture of that imposture, which has been permitted by Providence to prolong the degeneracy of man. While the merciless and dissolute are encouraged to furnish motives to human action, there never can be peace on earth and good will toward men. The hand of Ishmael will be against every man, and every man’s hand against him.” -Originally published in The American Annual Register for 1827—1829 (NY 1830)
Sir Winston Churchill
“Individual Moslems may show splendid qualities, but the influence of
the religion paralyzes the social development of those who follow it. No stronger retrograde force exists in the world. Far from being moribund, Mohammedanism is a militant and proselytizing faith. It has already spread throughout Central Africa, raising fearless warriors at every step.” Sir Winston Churchill – circa 1899 Sir Winston Churchill…
“How dreadful are the curses which Mohammedanism lays on its votaries! Besides the fanatical frenzy, which is as dangerous in a man as hydrophobia in a dog, there is this fearful fatalistic apathy. The effects
are apparent in many countries. Improvident habits, slovenly systems of agriculture, sluggish methods of commerce, and insecurity of property exist wherever the followers of the Prophet rule or live. 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. No stronger retrograde force exists in the world. Far from being moribund, Mohammedanism is a militant and proselytizing faith. It has already spread throughout Central Africa, raising fearless warriors at every step; and were it not that Christianity is sheltered in the strong arms of science‹the science against which it had vainly struggled‹the civilization of modern Europe might fall, as fell the civilization of ancient Rome.” From The River War, first edition, Vol. II, pages 248 50 (London: Longmans, Green & Co., 1899)
Thomas Jefferson
“The Barbary Wars” were to free Americans who were taken as slaves from their merchant ships traveling near North Africa. They were taken by Muslim pirates who used the Koran to justify taking the Americans, because they were Christians, not Muslims.
The Barbary Wars are historic because Congress was adjourned when President Jefferson signed the declaration of war, causing uproar within the Congress! Congress called the wars “Mr. Jefferson’s War”, but after millions of dollars, and four years the Americans concerned, were freed! It is noteworthy that during Jefferson’s term, the young Democracy was still largely financed by individuals who never received reimbursement for their efforts.
Ayatollah Khomeini
Khomeini accordingly delivered notorious rebuke
to the Islam-is-a-religion-of-peace crowd:
“Those who know nothing of Islam pretend that Islam counsels against war. Those [who say this] are witless. Islam says: Kill all the unbelievers just as they would kill you all! Does this mean that Muslims should sit back until they are devoured by [the unbelievers]? Islam says: Kill them, put them to the sword and scatter [their armies]…. Islam says: Whatever good there is exists thanks to the sword and in the shadow of the sword! People cannot be made obedient except with the sword! The sword is the key to Paradise, which can be opened only for the Holy Warriors! There are hundreds of other [Qur’anic] psalms and Hadiths [sayings of the Prophet] urging Muslims to value war and to fight. Does all this mean that Islam is a religion that prevents men from waging war? I spit upon those foolish souls who make such a claim.”

‘They Need to Be Liberated From Their God’
["Most people heard about Hamas after Hamas started carrying out terrorist attacks," he says now, speaking near his agent's home here in Nashville. "Hamas started out as an idea. Let's say a noble idea—resisting occupation." Those early clashes with the Israelis begat worse violence, and the cemetery near his house began to fill up with cadavers. Palestinians also turned on each other. A corrupt and authoritarian Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO) sparred with the rising Hamas and other groups. All of them used accusations of "collaboration" as an excuse to torture and kill rivals or the weak.
[..]
“Every day, there was screaming; every night, torture. Hamas was torturing its own people!” he writes. The Muslims he met in jail “bore
no resemblance to my father” and “were mean and petty . . . bigots and hypocrites.”
[..]
“I converted to Christianity because I was convinced by Jesus Christ
as a character, as a personality. I loved him, his wisdom, his love, his unconditional love. I didn’t leave [the Islamic] religion to put myself in another box of religion. At the same time it’s a beautiful thing to see my God exist in my life and see the change in my life. I see that when he does exist in other Middle Easterners there will be a change.
[..]
“The problem is not in Muslims,” he continues. “The problem is with their God. They need to be liberated from their God. He is their biggest enemy. It has been 1,400 years they have been lied to.”]

Valerie commented:
The Muslim Brotherhood has sown the wind, and Muslims are reaping the whirlwind. Until the Hamas Covenant is repudiated, the Muslim Brotherhood will continue its advertising campaign to convince Muslims that each individual Muslim has the religious obligation to kill every Jew on the face of the earth, and everybody who disagrees with him.
This document is blasphemy. It also states that Muslims should lose their souls in the service of Allah.
Even the perverts that wrote this document understood that they were advocating evil.
Enough.

That is correct. 1,400 years and islam has see absolutely no reform. That is because the koran, this ancient version of Mein Kampf, is the absolute word of allah. If the koran would say that wearing yellow socks is a sign of being possessed by the devil, then we could see a sudden surge in violence against people wearing yellow socks.
Islam is pure and utter fascism.

Arch commented:
How can any reasonable person feel sympathy for the muslims when their religion condones this behavior?
If someone offends the prophet, it’s okay to kill him. If a captive doesn’t convert, it’s okay to kill him. If a muslim converts to another religion, it’s okay to kill him. If an author’s book is ruled sacrilegious, it’s okay to kill him. If someone is homosexual, it’s okay to kill him (or her).
Women are oppressed to a degree which is unimaginable in America. islamic men can marry as many women as they want. Fourteen is the age of consent, but usually marriages are arranged by the families. If they want a divorce, they say, “I divorce thee,” three times and she’s out with only what she is wearing. If a member of the family brings dishonor to the family name, it’s okay to kill her. It you want to beat your wife, there are rules you must follow, but it’s acceptable. Women are not educated, permitted to drive or allowed leave the home without a male family member. If a woman is raped, it was her fault and it’s okay to kill her.
In their own countries, it is illegal to drink, smoke or chase women. The next time you visit London, go to the Cumberland Hotel where many muslims stay and look around. All the phone booths are plastered with hookers’ cards. The bars are full of smoking, drinking, jabbering muslims checking out the women. The hypocrisy is stunning.
islam is not a religion, it is a criminal conspiracy. Why should America take a single step to appease these worthless pieces of human waste? We should ban islam.
The Swiss recently banned the building of mosques. What a wonderful idea.
Mike O commented:
Folks, this is a continuation of a feud that started in January and- at that time- it was the Muslims who took most of the casualties. This was pretty much reprisal for some pretty unChristian-like activities that included the burning of a local mosque.
In this part of Africa, this is more a loca issue- and tribally based. it can’t be painted with the same brush as the global Islamic extremist movement.
Corporal Vere commented:
That local issue/tribal based feud started around 600AD near Mecca and Medina. It has been raging on and off since.

If you’re thirsting for payback, you’ll probably get it, since the Nigerian Christians are quite capable of killing lots of Muslims.
FWIW, Christianity’s numbers are growing, perhaps dramatically, in Africa, and these Christians are more devoted and traditional than their European and American counterparts. The clashes between the two religions in Africa will continue. You want Muslim blood? You’ll get it. Happy now?

Comment #37 Mike O you haven’t a clue what your talking about. You need to look inot the Boko Haram the Nigerian Taliban who are behind all the trouble.
I could put several sources down but that would keep you from doing the research you so desperately need to do.
People like you won’t know what’s up until you hear the woosh of the sword falling upon your neck.
My advice to you is to read inform yourself
Start with “The Politically Incorrect Guide to Islam & The Crusades”
Read the Koran as translated by Arberry
read the Hadithe & Bukhari
Then tell people they have it wrong
Don Rodrigo commented:

300 Muslims where hacked to death some weeks or months ago by Christians, which is why 200 Christians were hacked to death the other day.
Mike O and I get our news from other sources than Gateway Pundit, OK?
Don Rodrigo commented:
Bob Grant, #61:
Chill, guy. Mike (and myself) is merely pointing out what’s happening in Nigeria, and has been happening for some time.
I, for one, don’t need any lessons on “Jihad” or the Crusades. I have no doubt that Nigerian Muslims are being incited into violence, but the fact is that the violence has gone both ways in Nigeria. This isn’t even a value judgement, just a statement of fact.
I too find Islam problematic, but I also know that world events are complex, and things play out differently in different places depending on local variables.
Bob Grant commented:
No Don You & Mike O are espousing propaganda & quite poorly at that… I have been following this closely for a number of years. In fact I have been warning of the impending Islamic violence in Africa.
The hand writing was on the wall when Eritrea (AKA Can’t play well with others land) was thrust into being..
The Muslims & their defenders/ bum Kissers (LIKE YOU) are always finding some lame justification for their violence, when in fact they get their justification from their traditions & their “Holy” book.
Bukhari (8:387) – Allah’s Apostle said, “I have been ordered to fight the people till they say: ‘None has the right to be worshipped but Allah
Just because you’re under some misguided belief that a Kafir can ever live in the Dar-al-Islam don’t go trying to mislead those of us who know we are living in the Dar-al-Harb..
In short don’t tell me what to do Muji Boy, I’ve experienced what the butchering sons of Muhammad are capable of so, Don’t tell me to chill.

So apparently I’m thirsting for payback?? Excuse me, but unlike a lot of you, I have been in areas of Africa where such populations exist. And unlike most of you here, I have personally cared for refugees from these kinds of nightmares. Twenty percent of the kids in our orphanage are Muslim and they’re probably the nicest and best behaved lot there.
In Africa, it doesn’t take Islam to radicalize behavior; some of the tribal stuff makes Al Qaeda look like wusses. And look up the Lords Resistance Army. a supposedly ‘Christian’ group (one of the more bizarre practice of cult worship you’ll ever see)
