500 Christians hacked to death

Posted by guest blogger Locutisprime.

Watch closely now. Watch for all the major networks and cable news stations to jump all over this story. The New York Times and the Washington Post and the rest should be running front page coverage of this massacre by tomorrow right?

Go ahead.....watch and wait.

Appeals for calm after Nigerian sectarian slaughter:

JOS, Nigeria (AFP) – UN chief Ban Ki-moon appealed Monday for "maximum restraint" amid revulsion at the slaughter of more than 500 Christians in Nigeria, as survivors told how the killers chopped down their victims.

Funerals took place for victims of the three-hour orgy of violence on Sunday in three Christian villages close to the northern city of Jos, blamed on members of the mainly Muslim Fulani ethnic group.

While troops were deployed to the villages to prevent new attacks, security forces detained 95 suspects but faced bitter criticism over how the killers were able to go on the rampage at a time when a curfew was meant to be in force.

Media reported that Muslim residents of the villages in Plateau state had been warned by phone text message, two days prior to the attack, so they could make good their escape before the exit points were sealed off.

Survivors said the attackers were able to separate the Fulanis from members of the rival Berom group by chanting 'nagge', the Fulani word for cattle. Those who failed to respond in the same language were hacked to death.

One local paper said the gangs shouted Allah Akhbar before breaking into homes and setting them alight in the early hours of Sunday. Churches were among the buildings that were burned down.

The Vatican led a wave of outrage with spokesman Federico Lombardi expressing the Catholic Church's "sadness" at the "horrible acts of violence".

Ban told reporters he was "deeply concerned".

"I appeal to all concerned to exercise maximum restraint," he said.

Just don't hold you breath while you wait.

I've been waiting for the news to break.

Maybe if they were white European Christians killed it would be news worthy... but actual black Africans... no big deal to the MSM.

My apologies Locutisprime, I missed this and didn't mean to double post on this story (above).

reminds me of a story out of Beirut, only it was christians killing Muslims

no matter who is killing who it's frankly disgusting to me that people can be this fervent in our modern day and age that they would think that slaughtering those who don't share your own ideals is acceptable.

Albert,

“reminds me of a story out of Beirut, only it was christians killing Muslims"

Gott’a link or more to go on since a quick search turned up nothing on that?

[Locutisprime]

Beirut? Christians killing Muslims?
And who carried that report? CNN? As in the Crusader News Network?

Wake up and try a hot butter piece of reality and a warm cup of reason Albert. These people exist and the fact that you can't understand their existence and motives is of little concern to them.

a sad sad story and just one of many faction vs faction exterminations of our time

Interesting Albert, thanks.

While a quick search reveals there is much controversy about the number of dead it does appear the initial raid was for other motives than merely for the sake of just killing Muslims, unlike the story in this post and many, many other examples over the recent years.

Also, incidents like Sabra and Shatila are atrocities that are dealt with as such, people are rightfully punished. Christians in predominantly Muslim countries have little or no rights and certainly no justice or recourse. You do understand Sharia Law, Jiza, dhimmi, the Caliphate, the 12th Imam, honor killings, the non separation of Islam in politics, the killings of innocents like Theo van Gogh , just to name one, by Muslims, the fake victim mongering by CAIR, etc, etc.

You may like to believe and /or pretend that Islam is one religion that cause just as many problems in the world as any other religion, and you would be wrong. *14, 978, do you know what that number represents? Yea, that would be the number of deadly terror attacks JUST since 9/11/01. By all means, provide us with the corresponding number of or deaths by other religions.

I am well aware of the insidious nature of Sharia law

however the Taliban is no more scary to me than Blackwater is, Blackwater actually scares me more

[Locutisprime]

"however the Taliban is no more scary to me than Blackwater is, Blackwater actually scares me more."

That statement sums you up well Albert.

People like you scare me. Why? Because your priorities and values are so skewed and your understanding of what really matters in the world has been so thoroughly corrupted and compromised, as to completely obscure the real dangers in this world.

People like Al need to be dropped in the middle of the societies they so admire from afar to see if they'll survive. That's the only way to educate them.

[Albert Woudenberg]

who and what is it that you think i admire?

more importantly, why are you making vague assumptions?

[Albert Woudenberg]

the question still stands though; are KKK members dragging a dead black man they just lynched because he dated a white woman Christians?

[Albert Woudenberg]

and why do i keep seeing ads for both a gay military dating site and a site with T-shirts of questionable ethics?

Back in the day when I used to teach school I used to find this argument a lot. It goes like this:

Kid#1 smacks Kid#2 upside the head. Teacher says, "Kid#1 you shouldn't do that and now you will be punished." Kid #1 along with his family rise up in high dudgeon because Kid #3 or 2 or 543 have also been seen doing similar. Unfortunately this same teacher wasn't on playground duty those days so similar punishments weren't doled out.

For some reason because others did stuff and got away with it earlier, it erases the affront in moral law and the crime, in fact, becomes socially acceptable. Smack away kiddos, Lord of the Flies it is!

So yes, over the course of time some Christians misbehaved. Often and everywhere and if you believe the progressives, they misbehave more often than the others. And worse yet, they talk of a human need for redemption so the fact that they prove this point to be true makes them extra disgusting.

Muslims on the other hand don't look to God for redemption, they try to live up to the law and hope it will be good enough to please God.

But yes, it is still more theologically ironic for redemption needing Christians to misbehave than it is for others.

Clearly, all of this adds up to one reality. This act must not be renounced. Renouncing it would be racist. Lettuce avoid the pitfalls of racism, do the right thing and toss jabs at the Christians.

Vague assumptions? There are no vague assumptions Al, only your own words and assertions friend.

So tell me AL, why is it when someone holds up a liberal's words to them for closer examination? They always react like a vampire that has been jap slapped with a mirror and a hand full of garlic"

As for your latest analogy involving the KKK? What is it about liberals, progressives and all those others that envy and despise America, that immediately entrenches them in the use of invective analogies involving either Nazis or the Klan?

You folks really need some new material Al. So what is next? The assertion that the only Americans who could possibly be in defense of America in the wake of the Islamic terror attacks of September 11, 2001, are "neocons?"

If so.....try again friend. Or as we say down here in the really southern part of the lower forty eight. "that dog won't hunt either."
