News Snippets From All Beats

An estimated 500 Christians, mostly women and children, butchered with machetes as soldiers delay assistance for two hours in Nigeria.  Witnesses describe victims were caught in fish nets and animal traps before being hacked to death by Muslims in the three-hour period on Sunday.  Reports claim Muslim village residents warned in advance to escape by text messages.  The murderers chanted “Allah is the greatest” in Arabic as the hymn accompaniment to the exercise of their religion of peace.¹  This is Islam, and the engine of its violence is Islamic theology. In countries that look the other way and allow Islamic religion to come to full expression, this is the fate that awaits Jews, Christians, and any others who refuse to convert to Islam.
