While I obviously knew about the attacks in Nigeria, although I didn’t know about this one. This insurgency wasn’t posted by me because their would be know point as it isn’t a greater insurgency (outside of Nigeria) but in fact dozens of Fulani men who are from an ethnic group of herders and nomads getting into conflict with local farmers when they bring their thousands of cows south from the north because of the expanding Sahel/possible drought. They normally do this as they have for years but as the villagers complained more and more and the government became more and more solidified over the entire nation they just started mass-killing any villager that complains. To just straight up mass killing villagers I personally didn’t think it important to put this in here because while it is a regional problem and a uniquely rural one in the middle states of Nigeria, most people here just apply it all to Africa and continue with the same thought that all of Africa is never improving, constantly in conflict etcetera.

They don’t know that Lagos has one of the fastest growing economies in the world and the physical change between 2000-2018 is absolutely jarring, with a whole new city being built on the coast from reclaimed land. They don’t know Rwanda and Ghana have much lower homicide rate than the U.S, and then and about a dozen other African countries have homicide rates similar to Europe. Rwanda itself advertises tourists to come to the country, and has a booming industry with one of the cleanest cities in the world as their capital, Kigali. They don’t know that Ethiopia is the fastest growing economy in the world (Libya is but its recovering from Economic collapse so it grew 64% just a year ago which is basically impossible if the economy hadn’t collapse) and out of the 10 fastest growing economies in the world 6 of them are African. The point is Nigerians themselves talk about this issue internally and how spineless Buhari is for being essentially complicit in the slaughtering of villagers. But the main issue is an ancient nomadic people, who are being funded by someone (Most conspiracies say wealthy people from Northern Nigeria) and they kill mostly in Nigeria people over their pastures so their animals can graze. I can go to Nigeria and travel throughout the far South and never encounter this problem, like I said it is a regional problem in Nigeria and other governments were Fulani herdsmen travel actually care about their citizens enough to protect them and don’t care about the politics of the government with a Northern Nigerian leader seen attacking “his own people”.

Sad but true. Whenever there is ANY sort of attack on a mosque or other Muslim oriented event or facility the media gloms on because they know if they pump it up enough their efforts will trigger Islamic revenge response and they will then have another mass killing event to cover that they can tout as being in response to persecution of Muslims.


Good grief they are the biggest advocates of Islamic terror groups out there. Any Islamic attack that happens now they will justify as being in response to the NZ shooting. All because the MSM wants blood and mayhem to plaster our TVs with and Islamic terror attacks never disappoint. And this NZ shooting spree can be presented as a Christian attack on peaceful Muslims even though it's not. But reporting it as such will really get the Islamowackos whipped up.

Throughout history one thing has been a constant. Most mass murdering took place by people who considered themselves SUPERIOR to the millions they were wiping out.

There are massive numbers of suffering homeless just down the street - many are Christians, I'm sure. Living right above where they lay are people worth millions...sometimes HUNDREDS of millions. You can buy a Bentley or a Ferrarri within 1000 feet of the homeless.

How do good people go about their day in a 500K car and a 10M 2nd or third home....and not just volunteer to turn over a few millions and their time and expertise to treat their neighbor as they would wish to be treated??
But this wasn't a car accident, or overdose or suicide. It was a mass shooting.

So, it doesn’t “count†as news.
This story and the gunman in New Zealand will be forgotten in a week anyways since there is no monetary incentive to invade their countries with our military.

There's supposedly an ISIS post on Twitter promising revenge with an AK photographed with Arabic writing all over it...
I'm not on Twitter. Twitter is a fitting name, have to be some kind of twit to use that daily.

Indeed. I'm truly mystified by this trend of justifying Islamic jihadist mentality. Their extreme desire to just see thousands of dead non Muslims that they claim is their "holy duty" to see done....wow. And they have never needed any urging or revenge inspiring incident to revolve their efforts around. The Prophet decreed it in the Koran that it is the duty of every devout Muslim to kill non Muslims. Whether they are Black, White, Brown Red or blue.


Smile in their faces and feign friendship and cut their throats in their sleep. Better yet just wade in with a rifle, knife, bomb vest whatever and embrace glorious martyrdom and a golden throne at Allah's right hand.


And the traitorous blood sucking MSM gets something like this NZ shooting and knows just what buttons to push to trigger gratuitous violence that is supposedly "retaliation" but in reality requires no such motivation. They need no urging to hate infidels and kill them by whatever means are handy. But it matters not so long as there is a scoop with lots of dead bodies preferably on a soft target like a mall or concert in a first world country like the US, UK, France, etc. Lots of young parent killed leaving orphaned children, the more innocent the victims the better. The MSM disgusts me with their Muslim apologist spew.


There is no Christian holy war against Muslims and Christians are not forming terrorist armies attacking all non Christians wherever they may find them. Christians are not encouraging martyrdom by blowing yourself up in a crowd of Muslim men, women and children with Jesus' name on your lips. Christians are not using children as human shields and bomb delivery means. Yet every act by any non Muslim against Muslims is touted as being perpetrated by "Christian terrorists" when in reality they have to go bak to the Crusades to expound on murder of Muslims by Christians. Which they do and actually consider it to be a valid point on which Muslims commit murder.


And it's all just a ploy to make headlines. Hundreds of innocent people die so there's a story to report on. The MSM gets more people killed with a single twisted headline than the US Army kills in a year of operations in Afghanistan and it just goes on and on. Islam is the single largest hate group in the world and the way they like to kill and video it so they can send it all over the world for everyone to see just fits like a glove with the MSM. Cycle of violence? yes indeed....

It isn't the MSM invading other countries killing tens of thousands of innocent people.
