Burkina Faso: Muslims murder 19 Christians, injure 13 others — “There’s no Christian anymore in this town”

“The k*****g in Arbinda comes as armed groups have spread across the Shael region and committed atrocities in Mali, Niger, and Burkina Faso. The United Nations reports that the violence has led to the displacement of at least 4.2 million people, 1 million more than in 2018.”

“19 k**led by gunmen in Burkina Faso: ‘There’s no Christian anymore in this town,'” by Samuel Smith, Christian Post, June 14, 2019:

Dozens of armed unidentified Muslim gunmen k**led at least 19 Christians and injured 13 others in northern Burkina Faso on Sunday.

A local government official told AFP on the condition of anonymity that the attack occurred between 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. and that 19 bodies were found at the time. The official said a search was underway to find others who were k**led.

Hours before the gunmen attacked, the source said the gunmen stopped three vehicles in the town of Arbinda and set them on fire. The official detailed that one of the drivers was k**led.

The k*****g in Arbinda comes as armed groups have spread across the Shael region and committed atrocities in Mali, Niger, and Burkina Faso. The United Nations reports that the violence has led to the displacement of at least 4.2 million people, 1 million more than in 2018.

In Burkina Faso, innocent lives are being lost due to the rise of jihadist attacks and government counterterror operations.

In April, more than 60 people were k**led in an attack in Arbinda which has been hit hard by violence.

“There is no Christian anymore in this town [Arbinda],” an anonymous contact told the Christian aid charity Barnabus Fund. “It’s known that they were looking for Christians. Families who hide Christians are k**led. Arbinda had now lost a total of no less than 100 people within six months.”

Since 2016, armed Islamist groups linked to both al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb and the Islamic State in Greater Sahara have been attacking civilian targets, police stations and military posts in Burkina Faso, according to Human Rights Watch.

Although the violence has spread throughout the country, the “epicenter” of the violence sits in the northern Sahel, a region that borders Mali and Niger.

Contacts told Barnabus Fund that as many as 82 pastors, 1,145 Christians and 151 households have fled from violence in different locations in the Muslim-majority nation…

This is what happens when we think that only OUR religion is the true one. Notice what Christians-and I use that term loosely-did to Jews in WWII. Notice what 'Christians' want to do to Muslims, L***Qs, and any other alternate lifestyle peoples. One could rightly say that 'religion' is the root of all evil, from desecration of children to the outright k*****g of those not deemed worthy to live. And certainly NOT ANY ONE religion is any better or worse, when ALL endorse violence on the others.

Actually think about it, either all religions are wrong, but only one can be right! You say "Notice what 'Christians' want to do to Muslims, L***Qs, and any other alternate lifestyle peoples". What is that exactly?
And what about secular people who want to the same thing? You say "One could rightly say that 'religion' is the root of all evil, from desecration of children to the outright k*****g of those not deemed worthy to live". Really! I always thought it was people who were the root of all evil! All in all a pretty ignorant post.

The aspect that is so singular about Islam is that "jihad" ... war against non-Muslims, is at the very heart of its belief and teachings. In the Koran and elsewhere, the commandment to wage jihad is second only to the first commandment, to worship "allah" as the greatest of all gods. Those who say this is equivalent to other religions, are fools, knaves, or dhimmi flunkies.

The outright k*****g of those not deemed worthy to live is called a******n and it is not being carried out by religious groups. Planned Parenthood is hardly a religious group. To blame k*****g on religion is ridiculous. To blame the holocaust on Christians is bizarre and to equate Christianity to Islam is also bizarre. Look at how Muslims treat women and compare that to Christianity. The two religions are not even comparable. And Jihad is certainly only an Islamic concept, not a Christian one. Christians attempt to convert others to their point of view by how they live and sharing what the Bible says. Islam tries to convert others to Islam by threats of death.

And it should be pointed out that those like Stalin, Poi Pot, Hitler, et al were anything but religious, so to blame violence on religion is truly bizarre.

Actually, they were well known to be very religious. Very spiritual.
Just very intolerant.

The Pope just yesterday managed to condemn centuries of institutional child abuse, give him a chance to get around to your concerns.

Amy, this is one of the most bizarre comments I've seen on HedgeHog.

To start with, you are calling the N**is Christian? Where did you ever get that from. If you studied history at all you would find that the N**is disdained the Christian Church and persecuted the clergy. In 1935 they arrested 700 pastors who had read an anti N**i proclamation to their parishioners. The first thing N**is did after defeating Poland was to imprison all the priests and send them to concentration camps. Dachau Concentration Camp had a barracks dedicated to the Clergy. Your ignorance regarding this is astounding.

Then you complain about all the things that Christians want to do to Muslims and L**T people. Tell me, where is anything like that happening?? You are just making this up. It almost doesn't even exist in our World. I'm positive that you cannot even condemn the most heinous Muslim k*****gs and atrocities. This is the moral sickness of the Left. You condone the k*****g of innocent newborn babies and the Muslim slaughter of Christians. How different are you from the N**is? I wish people like you could be forced to live in a Muslim country for a few years just to find out how lucky you are to be in the United States.

Where is it legal to k**l new born babies? and where did she condone the "Muslin slaughter of innocent Christians"? This may be off topic: but I'm not sure if I've ever met an "innocent Christion".

WOW! You appear to be insane. You make inane, immature, judgement s and act as if they are fact. You then lump every one into one basket as if ALL Christians, Jewish, etc are all the same.

You post doesn't even deserve the time it takes to read it, it is plain ridiculous.

On February 24, 2019, the all but three Democrat Senators v**ed against the Bill making it illegal to k**l an infant after it was born alive. Every single Democrat Senator running for President v**ed against the Bill. This came after Democrat New York Governor Andrew Cuomo and Democrat Virginia Governor Ralph Northam both suggested that doctors and parents should decide what to do with unwanted infants born alive, instead of simply keeping them alive. Now try to explain that one away for me. This couldn't be any clearer.

As far a s the condoning of k*****g innocent Christians, Amy never came out and said it, but I can guarantee you that she does because she tried to make a big defense of the Muslims who just massacred 19 Christians. How much you wanna bet that Amy will not come out and condemn this? Even to make me look wrong?

Lastly, what do you mean you "never met an innocent Christian?" That could mean anything. What if I said I never met an innocent L*****t? Would you be upset?
