Muslims Invades Two Churches And Murder One Christian, Abduct Five Others

Abduction of Infidels is sanctioned in Islamic law and subject to particular rules: “As for the captives, the amir [ruler] has the choice of taking the most beneficial action of four possibilities: the first to put them to death by cutting their necks; the second, to enslave them and apply the laws of slavery regarding their sale and manumission; the third, to ransom them in exchange for goods or prisoners; and fourth, to show favor to them and pardon them. Allah, may he be exalted, says, ‘When you encounter those [infidels] who deny [the Truth=Islam] then strike [their] necks’ (Qur’an sura 47, verse 4)” — Al-Mawardi, al-Ahkam as-Sultaniyyah (The Laws of Islamic Governance).

But don’t be concerned. There is no doubt whatsoever that Pope Francis is on his way to Kogi now, in order to explain to these jihadis how they are misunderstanding their own religion, and that “authentic Islam and the proper reading of the Koran are opposed to every form of violence.”

The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), Kogi chapter, has condemned in strong terms the recent attacks on churches and worshippers by gunmen in the state.

The gunmen invaded a place of worship in Kabba, Kogi, on Sunday, killed one person, injured three and abducted two worshippers.

Gunmen had also last month attacked another church in Osara, in Adavi Local Government Area of Kogi and abducted three persons, and released them five days after a ransom was allegedly paid.

The CAN Chairman in Kogi, Dr John Ibenu, told newsmen in Lokoja, that the CAN, as a body strongly condemned the targeted attacks on churches and worshippers in the state….

The chairman commended the effort of the State Government while calling on all relevant agencies to step up their games
