6 Killed in Attack on Nigerian Church | |
2012-12-26 | |
[VOA News] Gunmen in northeastern Nigeria killed at least six people early Tuesday when they shot up a church during a Christmas Eve service. Officials and residents say the attack happened shortly after midnight in a village outside the city of Potiskum in Yobe state. There was no immediate claim of responsibility. Yobe is next to Borno state, the home of Islamic radical sect Boko Haram ... not to be confused with Procol Harum, Harum Scarum, possibly to be confused with Helter Skelter. The Nigerian version of al-Qaeda and the Taliban rolled together and flavored with a smigeon of distinctly Subsaharan ignorance and brutality... Rights groups say the gunnies have killed well over 1,000 people in the past four years. Boko Haram attacked churches at Christmas in both 2010 and 2011. Last year's attacks killed more than 40 people.

#1 The VOA is, as almost all media do, under reporting the Islamic angle. The headline should have read, "Islamic Terrorists Slaughter 6 More Christians at Nigerian Church" The first paragraph should have read, "The Islamic Terrorist genocidal war against Christians in Nigeria continues. Terrorists groups declared the war formally in the summer of 2012 after carrying on a war for years before that. The Islamic Terrorists have slaughtered or injured thousands of Christians and destroyed or damaged dozens of Churches in the past 5 years. No UN resolution has been approved related to this and no leader of any Islamic country has denounced these persecutions. |
