These horrors in the cause of Allah are daily now. And still there’s a kind of hush all over the media world when Muslims slaughter non-believers.
Boko Haram (Western civilization, education is sinful, bad) continued its onslaught against the Christian population in Northeast Nigeria with its release of yet another execution video. In this video, a child soldier for the terrorist group can be seen wearing a black headscarf as a mask, holding a pistol, and standing behind a kneeling young man. The young man has been identified as Ropvil Daciya Dalep, a member of the Church of Christ in Nations (COCIN).

JOS, Nigeria, January 23, 2020 (Morning Star News ) – Islamic State-affiliated terrorists have executed a Christian university student kidnapped earlier this month in northeast Nigeria, sources said.
In a video that Site Intelligence Group reported was released on the Islamic State’s Amaq news website, a boy of indeterminate age with a pistol shoots and kills Ropvil Daciya Dalep, a member of the Church of Christ in Nations (COCIN) who was kidnapped on Jan. 9 on the Damaturu-Maiduguri Highway while returning to studies in Maiduguri, Borno state.
The armed, masked boy in the video, a member of the Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP) according to Site, says in the Hausa language that the Christian from Plateau state will be killed in retaliation for “atrocities against us,” possibly referring to Muslim-Christian violence in the 2001 Jos riots.
“This is one of the Christians from Plateau state,” the boy says. “We want to tell all Christians that we have not forgotten what you did to our parents and grandparents. Christians all over the world must know that we will never forget their atrocities against us, until we avenge the bloodshed visited on us.”
The video then shows the boy shooting Dalep in the head from behind, and then in the back, killing him.
After Dalep was kidnapped, his family had received no information about his whereabouts. It is unclear when the execution took place, but Site reported that it took place at an unidentified outdoor area in Borno state.
From Jing village in Plateau state’s Pankshin County, according to a Jos resident originally from the area, Dalep was identified by members of his ethnic Mupun people as the one killed in the video. He was a second-year biology education student at the University of Maiduguri.
ISWAP in 2016 broke off from the rebel terrorist group Boko Haram, which originated in Maiduguri.
The Mupun Cultural and Development Association (MUCDA) on Wednesday (Jan. 22) confirmed the execution of Dalep in a press statement issued in Jos, with MUCDA spokesperson Kenzy Ngupar blaming Boko Haram. Many people in Nigeria make no distinction between ISWAP and Boko Haram.
“We have information that he was abducted on his way to school in Maiduguri, which led to the unfortunate video going ‘round of his killing,” Ngupar said. “At this point we condemn in its entirety the senseless abduction and killing of Nigerians in any part of the country and call on the government to step up practical efforts to address this growing menace in our country. MUCDA and indeed the entire Mupun nation is pained by this.”
Fabong Jemchang Yildam, chairman of the Plateau Youth Council (PYC), condemned the killing and declared three days of mourning and prayers among Christians.
“We are indeed pained that our young people have become targets for terrorists despite our peaceful and receptive nature,” Yildam said in a press statement on Wednesday (Jan. 22). “This gruesome murder of an innocent Plateau son is totally unacceptable and unjustifiable. It is an outrage to freedom of religion movement and respect for human lives.”
Saying the PYC strongly believes that humans are born free and equal and should achieve their full potential in a safe and loving society irrespective of background and belief, Yildam said the execution of Dalep was a serious setback in the quest for religious freedom.
“We demand that the perpetrators be brought to justice and receive punishment commensurate with the crime they have committed,” Yildam said. “Government must intensify the war against Boko Haram and other terrorist groups in Nigeria and must ensure the safety of Nigerians anywhere in the country.”
Yildam called on Plateau youths to wear black armbands or black clothes in mourning through Friday (Jan. 24).
“We remain law-abiding even in this period of darkness and mourning,” the PYC spokesperson said. “We also commiserate with the immediate family of the martyr and others whose lives were untimely snuffed out. For the victory of evil over good can only be temporary.”
Lutheran Pastor Killed
In Adamawa state in northeast Nigeria, Lutheran Church of Christ in Nigeria (LCCN) officials confirmed the killing of the Rev. Rev Dennis Bagauri at his church site home in the Nassarawa Jereng area, Mayo Belwa County, on Monday (Jan. 20).He was shot to death the same day the district chairman of the Church of the Brethren in Nigeria, the Rev. Lawan Andimi, was beheaded by Boko Haram in the Michika area of Adamawa state.
The Rev. Musa Filibus, archbishop of LCCN, issued a press statement on Tuesday (Jan. 21) from the church’s headquarters in Numan town, Adamawa state, saying gunmen believed to be from Boko Haram killed Pastor Bagauri.
“The church leadership condemns in the strongest term the killing of the man of God, who has been in the vineyard of service to God,” Filibus said. “Please pray for the security agents to fish out the killers of our pastor.”
Yola resident Rebecca Musa told Morning Star News in a text message that “the men armed with guns broke into the LCCN where the pastor lives and shot him dead at night when all persons in the area had gone to sleep.”
Besides leading a congregation, Pastor Bagauri also served as an adviser on religious matters to the Adamawa government. The state police commissioner said investigations are underway.
Adamawa Gov. Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri on Tuesday (Jan. 21) sent his condolences to the church and the family of the slain pastor, whom he described as “a God-fearing man, easy-going, and with great humility.”
Nigeria ranked 12th on Open Doors’ 2020 World Watch List of countries where Christians suffer the most persecution but second in the number of Christians killed for their faith, behind Pakistan.

True . That’s strange .
Muhammadists must know that we, humanity will no longer tolerate their unjust killings, torture, crucifixions, burnings to death, declitorizations of little screaming girls, forced theism, deceptions, robbings, enslavement of Africans, rapes & manipulations.
I don’t blame those Muslims who like me believe that I maybe might be the Messiah who came to rule the world .
Everybody is to blame.

Isn’t it interesting that the muslum perps who are slaughtering Christians allah over Nigeria are never brought to justice? It’s almost as if the muslum controlled government of Nigeria really isn’t interested in stopping the killing at allah.

Ongoing events in Nigeria mirror those in Sudan until recently, when cold-blooded killer and Sunni Muslim Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir, was finally removed from power. During his thirty-year reign, 1989-2019, the Sudanese military used helicopter gunships to bomb, strafe and rocket Christian churches and communities in that nation, and there were raids conducted on the ground, too, terrorizing non-Muslims and burning them out of their homes.
Finally, the Christians and other non-Muslims could take no more and fought to establish their present homeland, the new nation of South Sudan.
Such atrocities are unreported or under-reported in the largely secular west, a situation not improved by the overt hostility the leftist media have for Christians.

anyone who advocates for socialist ideas and participates supports and openly endorses the soviet union as did sanders during the cold war … is no longer a Jew … it is a violation of the fundamental precepts of the Hebrew Religion …/ sadly due to many historical factors most “jews” in the diaspora [outside of Israel] and within Israel [the educated elite] all hold socialist/globalist ideas and make policy and live life by them … so dont call him a Jew because his actions and words rescind his right to self identify as one

Buhari, the President of Nigeria is not interested, to end that war at all.
He and his dubious government want whole of Nigeria to be (or to suffer) under Sharia dictatorship.
“His” Fulani – tribes are expanding form the “middle belt” towards Christianareas in the Oil- and Mineralrich Southnigeria.
There will not be any tolerance towards Ibos, Yorubas etc.!
In NIgeria – and now in more and more African Countries – Islam is advancing very fast and shows its true intentions:
to conquer Africa by all means of inhuman aspects. Without mercy – but under the umbrella “religion of peace”.
Due the fact, that the UN is already heavily infiltrated by Islam, there is practically no real and noteworthy resistance
on the world political stage.
No one wants to give a clear answer to where we are heading as Western nations.
What a sick planet – our Earth!

Perhaps if someone actually wished to do something he/she would arrest every local imam and madrassa teacher known to be pushing jihad and execute 10 of them for each such murder. Sure it would alienate the muslims but as they are muslims they are already alienated. The soviets, the Chinese and the Nazis found that this worked very well a s method of control. It is war and until some idiots realize this we will continue to be killed and they will escape retribution.

How could any imam not be pushing jihad? Jihad is islum’s holeiest act:
“So let those fight in the cause of Allah who sell the life of this world for the Hereafter. And he who fights in the cause of Allah and is killed or achieves victory –
We will bestow upon him a great reward (Paradise and all those virgins).” (Quran 4:74).
“Anyone who kills an infidel is guaranteed Paradise.” Sahih Abu Dawud vol. 2 no.2489.

Randomly Executing non Muslims for the crime of existing as non Muslims – that is the way of Islam.

We are called “non -believers” That is wrong, we should be referred to as being the Sane as islam is insane. Enough of the murders of Christians and Jews the world over. It is time to push back on the moslems and start executing them as the mad rats they are.

The crusaders of the middle ages bought us 700 years of relative peace, but the cancer has metasticized. Once again, we need to disinfect. A day may come when we regret not eradicating all the primitive sociopaths when we could have.
