While Western newspapers were debating whether or not to reprint the Mohammed cartoons, in Nigeria as many as 2,000 people were massacred by the Islamic State in Nigeria, also known as Boko Haram, in what is being called the deadliest attack by the Muslim group to date.

Survivors described the Islamic State setting up efficient killing teams and massacring everyone
while shouting “Allahu Akbar”. "For five kilometers (three miles), I kept stepping on dead bodies until I reached Malam Karanti village, which was also deserted and burnt," one survivor said.

There’s a word for that. It’s genocide.

The Islamic State in Nigeria had reportedly managed to kill 2,000 people last year. This year they did it in one week. But we don’t pay much attention to what happens in Nigeria unless there’s a hashtag. No one has yet thought up a clever hashtag for the murder of 2,000 people. #Bringbackourdead doesn’t really work.

The Islamic State’s next target is Maiduguri, the largest city in Borno with a population of over a million. Known as the “Home of Peace”, if Maiduguri falls, the death toll will be horrific.

The Catholic Archbishop, Ignatius Kaigama, warned that the killing wouldn’t stop in Nigeria. “It's going to expand. It will get to Europe and elsewhere.”

Of course it already has, but not on the same scale.

“We will conquer Europe one day. It is not a question of (if) we will conquer Europe, just a matter of when that will happen,” an Islamic State spokesman had warned. “The Europeans need to know that when we come, it will not be in a nice way. It will be with our weapons.”

“Those who do not convert to Islam or pay the Islamic tax will be killed.”

.........

intellectuals of the last century were too fixated on their vision of a better world to understand what was happening in Germany and Japan. And what had to be done about it. While they dreamed of a world government that would do away with war, the killing had already begun.

The intellectuals of this century are equally unwilling to take their attention away from microfinance, climate change and world government to see the beginnings of a worldwide Holocaust underway.

Genocide isn’t new to Africa or the Middle East so they put it down to local tribal conflicts. Terrorism isn’t new to America or Europe, so they blame political extremism. Like the elephant and the blind men who touched its trunk and thought it was a snake, they respond to the local manifestation of Islamic genocide by seeing a familiar local phenomenon; tribal war, political extremism or minority problems.

And anyone who sees the big picture is instantly denounced as an Islamophobe. But what if the Muslim genocide of Hindus and Buddhists in Asia and the Muslim genocide of Christians and Jews in the Middle East are part of the same phenomenon?

What if the Islamic State killers in Nigeria who shout “Allahu Akbar” during their massacres share a motive with the 9/11 hijackers who were told to “shout 'Allahu Akbar,' because this strikes fear in the hearts of the non-believers”?

What if a common bloody thread of Koran verses runs through the massacres of non-Muslims in the Philippines and Kenya, in Israel and Australia, in France and China, in Thailand and Syria?

What if the acts of terror on the evening news are not random events, workplace violence, mental illness and political extremism, but the beginning of another global Islamic genocide?

The rise of Islam was not based on faith, but on mass murder.

Within a few centuries of the time that Mohammed had ordered the ethnic cleansing of Jews and Christians from the Arabian Peninsula, the massacre of millions of Christians, Jews, Hindus and Buddhists was underway across the Middle East through India and as far as Afghanistan.

The Islamic Holocaust was the greatest act of mass murder in human history. And it is still taking place today over a thousand years later.

The decay of the Roman Empire created an opening for the Islamic conquests. As Western civilization, which plays much the same role as the Roman Empire did in tying parts of the world together, falls, a new wave of Islamic conquest and genocide is underway.

It means if one drops money in the collection plate and that money is ultimately spent on weapons of war, and those weapons are put to their intended use, the self-defense of 'we are not violent' is lost, on me.

Then you are as guilty as anyone else. Imagine where your dollars end up that you spend about town, or give to uncle sam.

"French street artist Combo was physically assaulted over his latest art work. Photo:
It was very offensive and local Muslims demanded he take it down.

Four Muslims in Porte Dorée (the Golden door), a ghetto east of Paris, beat artist Combo after he refused to take down his Coexist street art. Combo suffered a dislocated shoulder, bruises and a black eye.
Artnet reported, via Jihad Watch:

It seems like something one would be hard pressed to disagree with: the word “coexist,” written on a wall using a Muslim crescent as the letter “C,” a Star of David as the letter “X,” and a Christian cross as a “T.”

But in Paris, this particular iteration of the popular inscription—here, created by the street artist Combo, who also pasted a life-size photo of himself next to it—didn’t go down well with everybody. Le Monde reports that four young people asked the artist to remove it last weekend, and beat him up severely when he refused to do so.

Combo ended up with a dislocated shoulder and many bruises.

The attack is characteristic of the inter-religious tensions that plague France and have been exacerbated by the Charlie Hebdo tragedy (see 12 Killed at Magazine Previously Attacked for Satirical Cartoons). Combo declined to discuss the identity of his assailants. “It would only add fuel to the fire,” he told the French newspaper."

Coexist? That's sowing the very seeds of discord and calls for an ass whoopin....interesting letters and comments follow the story http://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2015/02/french-artists-calls-for-peace-end-in-brutal-beating-by-local-muslims/

But I don't give one thin dime to any religious organization, willingly. I do pay my taxes and thus share the burden of blood spilt 'on my behalf' for sure.

Well that absolves you from... what?? Gosh, I'm sure your local church has done something awful in the last year - well aside from feeding and sheltering the poor, counseling services, women's shelters, orphanages, etc. Well whatever horrible atrocities your church is carrying out - you shall not be painted with the brush of their sin.

You sir, can feel superior to many others.

...lining the pockets of crooked preachers.

After years of atheism I've gotten totally burned out on the myopic, defensive, small minded, and dogmatic thinking of other atheists that I'm now actually finding myself defending main street religion, occasionally. Sure there are gluttonous as#@&%e religious shrines (Vatican) but I find most atheists I meet are far more narrow-minded, blowhard, bigots than main street religious folks (not Ned Flanders, my other neighbor).

When I volunteer I take note of the sort of people I see there. When we have chit-chat sessions at work I note who does what with their free time. When I visit people in hospice, in hospitals, where help is needed - same thing. When I talk to people who have been through trauma, I listen to who they said was there to help.

I ran away from religion because of the big headline scandal stories. I'm evolving away from atheism now because of the shallow atheist I meet. I want something more from my brief time on earth and I'm attracted and inspired by the people who are truly selfless.

That's a good thing. Those people are not restricted to any particular faith, lack of faith, or ethnicity, for sure.

That may be true, but there are also subtle layers at play, like religious people are rightly trying to moderate themselves a little, and atheists are biting back at 2,000 years of religion without fear of being executed!!

DMT -- "But if you donate to a church that supports jihad then you support jihad, was my point."

You Americans all support your church of so called democracy.

Which supports undemocratic jihads thru it's unconstitutional proxies, black ops and direct illegal engagements all over the world.

The American hypocrisy is running rampant at its very pinnacle.

You may now return to your superior path....

I don't care what their motivations are, just the outcome.

Beheading unbelievers,

Bad outcome!

Every major social improvement in American history started in a church.

The very notion of human rights and freedom is so intertwined with the collision of Greek rationalism and Judaism that produced Christianity no amount of mental gymnastics can remove it.
