A Real Martyr

A Real Martyr

One of the victims of last week’s attack by the Yusufiya sect in Borno State has given a shocking account of how the Islamic extremists killed three pastors who were captured along with other victims on the second day of the insurgence. The victim was among those held hostage in Yusuf’s enclave.

Speaking exclusively to Daily Sun in Maiduguri, the eye witness who preferred anonymity disclosed that the three pastors were beheaded on the instruction of the sect leader, Mohammed Yusuf shortly after bringing them out of his inner chamber.

“The pastors alongside one Ibo man were asked to change their faith to Islam like they did to other people taken as hostages. I think there was an argument by one of the pastors which gave the others some level of confidence to also resist accepting Islam.

“The Yusufiya men who were armed on that Tuesday afternoon were not comfortable with the pastors and they took one of them to the sect leader in his inner chamber. They came out later to the courtyard within the compound and cut their heads one after the other and thereafter, shouted allah akbar in wild celebration accompanied with several gun shots,” the eye witness disclosed.

He said the hostages numbering about 50 within the area of the execution of the pastors and another fair complexioned man which he could not identify, were gripped with fear as non could foretell the outcome of their stay at the enclave of the fundamentalists. He was however lucky to escape as he was freed in the night with others with a warning not to mix with kafrici (infidels).

Corroborating the account of the killing, a Senior pastor with Good News Church, Wulari Maiduguri Rev. Baba Gata Ibrahim told Daily Sun in an interview that a pastor in his church, Pastor George Orjih was beheaded on the instruction of the Boko Haram leader because the clergy man refused to accept Islam.

“An eye witness who was also captured by the Islamic militants gave us details of how the pastor was killed. He told us they were persuading him to accept Islam and he said over his dead body. He was even said to have preached Christ to Mohammed Yusuf and that reportedly angered the sect leader who then as he ordered that the pastor and others be killed immediately,” he disclosed….

Some of the Pastor families were killed, many of the member present in service on this day were burn alife in the church, buildings, cars and church vehicles and home are also burned down by the muslim rioters. Pastor Davies Gold was able to escape, uptil now we have no clue to his location. but close source revealed that he is still alive somewhere hiding. The muslim extrimist could be very dangerouse as to is life and as a fighting activist, they may look for him no matter where he may be to end his life.

    Actually this crap really pisses me off. Not just that people who mean no harm to anyone are being targeted and killed, but that no one seems to be willing to fight back and kill these muz pukes. It can't be just that those targeted aren't armed. A stick, if used correctly, can be deadly. Kitchen knives, baseball or cricket bats, gardening tools....whatever. How can the muz keep getting away with it without retribution? Maybe as an armed American I'm out of touch with the trials and tribulations that non-muz go through in muz areas......but it still enrages me.
  • funkybarfly
    Dear Tonto,
    The problem here is that the people who were killed were Christian Pastors and their belief system dictates that they are not to use violence in any circumstance.They did not fight back because they were simply doing what Christ would do.....turning the other cheek.The fact that they would not renounce Christ and convert to islam is testimony to their sincerity....and stupidity.The reason I gave up my faith was precisely because of this.The Christian Church has been turning the other cheek for so long that it has been slapped silly and consequently it has lost its way.Why Western governments continue to turn a blind eye to these daily atrocities is indeed reprehensible and unfathomable.And you are right,it enrages me too,but doesn't surprise me.
    When Jesus made the comment,"Show him the other cheek" he had not reckoned on the Mohammedans.The time of Christianity has also passed whether Christians understand this or not.The meek shall not inherit the earth.They will be murdered or enslaved and the mere mention of Jesus Christ will result in the loss of ones head.
    There is a time for peace and there is a time for war.Now is the time for war.
  • 3rd Chapter of Ecclesiastes....for all things there is a season...and there is also a place that said Jesus said "if you have no sword, sell your cloak and buy one"...and the part that says "The Lord helps those that help themselves". The Lord can lead you to water, you gotta do the "wet work" yourself. (That was kind of a pun, wasn't it?)
  • JEWHAWK
    My dear and noble Ralph Konrad,the sad truth is that WHEN, you,Christians,
    offer the other cheek,the muslims will be already cutting your throats.
    Those pastors probably were praying when they were slaughtered like oxen
    on the slaughterhouse.

    "A time for peace...and a time for WAR".
    That's my favorite:
    Ecclesiastes 3:8

    We,Mr.Konrad,are AT WAR and the rather odd
    aspect of it,is that muslims declared this war against us,
    infidels,some 1,400 years ago and they won't stop at nothing
    until EVERY infidel is converted to Islam or DIE.
    That's JIHAD.Something entirely different from George W.Bush's
    obtuse statement in which he deemed Islam as a "peaceful religion".
  • JEWHAWK
    Dear funkybarfly,thank you for ANOTHER great reading.

    One think that really bothers me is that Christians are vastly
    more powerful than muslims,so WHY they are so willing to
    SURRENDER?

    Turning the other cheek to a muslim won't bring peace,because
    they'll perceive this noble gesture as a strong sign of weakness
    and willingness to bow to islamic teaching or their sword's blade.

    I think you'll find Tonto that being armed with a stick isn't all that confidence inspiring when the assholes who would kill you are armed with AK47's. I know I'd be disinclined to engage several dozen such AK wielding moozies armed with a set of secateurs.

    However one or two SEAL teams would likely make short work of the disorganised rabble that are mopedo's hordes in Africa. And given the human rights atrocities being committed there, it's not as though civilised countries don't have a mandate to step in.

    I might write to the Royal Australian Army and suggest that rather than run around some barren local landscape pretending to shoot at each other for training, they might consider having volunteers vote on where in the world they'd like to be dropped for some REAL practice. Two birds and all of that.

    I'm baffled why the powers that be won't just exterminate the taliban on sight. It's not as though we need their goodwill for trade purposes or anything. It's not like nations of any consequence would be upset.

    The Reverend Doctor ATIUTA hereby issues a fatwah on the taliban. A jihad on them.
  • Tonto
    A stick in Africa is deadly in the right hands....and I did not say in a stand up fight. Maybe it's the Apache in me, but ambush is the game and the baddest AK wielder has got to sleep sometime...attack as the turtle people did in the old stories. Trust me when I tell you that nightime is the time for fun in the world of guerrilla fighting, just ask the SAS. I met some of the Australian Buffalo soldiers in Vietnam one time. They were a fun group, couldn't always understand what the heck they were saying sometimes.
    Taliban is often reinforced by an occasional influx of fired up arabs and pakistanis so they don't run out of cannon fodder. They are really the most hurt by losing brains (leaders) that plan the ops. The terrain and the necessity of observing the tribal niceties makes combat opperations dicey and more difficult that if one were to just be bashing around with a tank regiment or something. Even so, things are going much better than the news media (commie suck-ups) would have us believe.
  • allahtakesituptheass
    So if the same stick was in the same hands but in another country?

    Interesting analysis Tonto. But if you had've opened with "This is Tom Tucker of Channel 5 news, and Diane, we now cross live to CIA Operative Tonto The Super Ninja who's live on the ground for a sit-rep" it would have been perfect! And tell that Apache to be gentle.

    Are you on peyote kimosabe? That was a classic. Do another one!
  • Tonto
    Okay, make fun. Apache tactics are now used world wide as guerrilla tactics....instead of smoking reefer, learn stillness. It would be good for you.
  • allahtakesituptheass
    "instead of smoking reefer, learn stillness. It would be good for you".
    -lol I find that one invariably leads to the other. And yes, it is good.

    Oh c'mon Tonto, lighten up. Don't get your feathers in a twist. We're on the same team. Plus I even clicked "like" for you lol.

  • southwood
    These pastors had calm Christian courage, not like the courage fanaticism inspires like flicking a switch to blow oneself up. No. Not like that. They went to the true paradise, not the "paradise" of 72 virgins (does any one know what the Muslim "paradise" is for women ? ). These men were true martyrs.
  • Tonto
    From the looks of things, the African people, all over the continent, are just like the rest of the world. They like killing other people just for the sake of the fun involved....and, like the rest of the world, seem to enjoy going overboard with it. Just boys having fun....just like the rest of us.

    It was reported by the BBC a few days ago that human rights activists in Britain protested against the killing of the Muslim terrorist leader when he was in captivity in Nigeria. Shall we hold our breath awaiting their expressions of outrage at this triple murder? I shan't.

    Adolf, old fruit, your wish has been/is being granted. Just consider the political leaders of the West for verification.

    So you reside in Argentina, do you? Perhaps you are one of those spawned from the foetid loins of the SS trash that skulked away from Jewish wrath at the conclusion of WWII. Argentina was welcoming of such cowards. But hey, why don't you encourage your leaders to have another crack at the Falklands. Send a few more Belgranos to give the British tars a bit more target practice.

    Yes, Southwood, you are spot on. Tragically so. I am put in mind of David's Lament: "How are the mighty fallen!"
  • Infidel_Tabatha
    SOUTHWOOD

    - I totally agree with you.

    The BBC abandoned objective reporting a long, long time ago.
  • southwood
    Thank you, Tabitha.

    They even admitted it a few years back in a report. Anti Christian, Left wing, pro gay, anti American. Absolutely no debate on Islam, its theology or its so called prophet. They hog the radio, have a world service etc.; and are paid a huge license fee. They contributed hugely to the destruction of British society in the 1960s by their subversive programming.
  • JEWHAWK
    The BBC is more biased than Al-Jazeera.Mahmud Abbas expelled the latter for "spreading lies about Arafat's death",while BARBARA PLETT,former BBC's correspondent,CRIED when Arafat died.
  • southwood
    Tears for a terrorist. He was a nephew or some such relative of the fanatically anti semitic Grand Mufti, who was pro Nazi and spent part of the war in Berlin. BTW many Muslims were Nazis. In WW2 in Croatia and Bosnia they had divisions.
  • JEWHAWK
    That's right.The former Jerusalem's Grand Mufti and Nazi-lover,
    Haj Muhamed Amin Al-Husseini was Arafat's uncle.They shared a common vision about "peace" with the Jews:

    "...Those alien invaders, the Zionists, will be massacred to the last man. We want no progress, no prosperity. Nothing but the sword will decide the fate of this country."(Mufti words to his jewish co-worker,Abbady.)

    During the 1929 anti-jewish pogroms he incited the muslims who chanted ""Izbah Al-Yahud!" — "Slaughter the Jews".

    After 80 years,HAMAS still adopts the same slogan...FATAH,too,but it doesn't advertise it;

    SOUTHWOOD:

    Yep, that sounds about right!

    I also can't forgive them for organising their own report into their *own* anti Israel bias in news reporting, supposedly to disprove the accusation - I refer to the Balen Report.

    Then they refused to publish the findings!!!

    Talk about hypocrisy.

    I think that Christian people are suffering a lot under the rise of Islam; every day they're getting killed and persecuted and bullied. And yet largely the mainstream media remains silent.

    We sure as hell can't rely on the BBC to fight on behalf of we infidels!!!

    The more things change, the more they stay the same.

    "Mehmet the Conqueror was motivated by exactly the same religious ideology that motivates the Islamic warriors of the contemporary era. Historian Halil Inalcik says of the Ottomans that their "culture was dominated by the Islamic conception of Holy War or ghaza." Ghaza refers to warfare to expand the land under the hegemony of Islam -- and thus it is not identical to jihad, but is one of the chief means of jihad. Inalcik continues: "By God's command the ghaza had to be fought against the infidels' dominions, dar al-harb (the abode of war), ceaselessly and relentlessly until they submitted." (The Cambridge History of Islam, Volume 1A, Cambridge University Press, 1970, p. 269) And Mehmet himself explained as he argued for the necessity of conquering Constantinople: "The ghaza is our basic duty, as it was in the case of our fathers." (The Cambridge History of Islam, Volume 1A, p. 295) He was pursuing offensive jihad against the infidels, in accord with the mandates of the Qur'an and Sunnah."

    You're doing a great job lad keep it up!
    We all know the Allah ordained ambition of the death cult;but you give us more
    evidence on a daily basis.
    Pity some "learned Muslim????"does not take you to task(that would be fun).
    But the slimy cowards know that they would be humiliated;yet still harrumph the righteousness of their cause.
    Verily the mental gymnastics as performed by Muslims is a wonder to behold.

    "Convert or Die"

    How thoughtful,sweet proposal...oddly enough,this doesn't
    exactly corroborates former president Bush's remark that
    "islam is a religion of peace".

    Maybe I'm just another "islamophobe".
    Sure.BUT those three pastors are DEAD.

    Maybe I'm just a raving,intolerant fellow.
    Yep.BUT the World Trade Center's twin towers doesn't EXIST anymore...

    Maybe this blog is "hateful".
    Of course.BUT Daniel Pearl's HEAD was severed from his body...
