At least 50 killed in massacre at Catholic church in southwest Nigeria

[fitpOsitive]

And then they cry about Islamophobia??? Lol....

Both you and post in OP jumped to conclusions very fast.

And India may be behind this attack, just to ease current pressure.

Are you fucking serious?! and you accuse me of "jumping to conclusions"? I really hope this is a troll post.

Chinese ventures in Africa are direct under Indian threats.

LAGOS, June 5 (Reuters) - Gunmen attacked a Catholic church in southwest Nigeria during mass on Sunday, killing at least 50 people including women and children, according to a hospital doctor and media reports.

The gunmen shot at people outside and inside the church building, killing and injuries worshippers, said Funmilayo Ibukun Odunlami, police spokesperson for Ondo state.

She did not say how many people were killed or injured at St Francis Catholic Church in the town of Owo but added police were investigating the cause of the attack.

Ondo state Governor Arakunrin Oluwarotimi Akeredolu, who visited the scene of the attack and injured persons in hospital, described Sunday's incident as "a great massacre" that should not be allowed to happen again.

The identity and motive of the attackers was not immediately clear.

"It is so sad that while the Holy Mass was going on, unknown gunmen attacked St Francis Catholic Church...leaving many feared dead and many others injured and the Church violated," said Catholic Church spokesman in Nigeria, Reverend Augustine Ikwu.

Ikwu said the bishop and priests from the parish had survived the attack unharmed.

A doctor at a hospital in Owo told Reuters that at least 50 bodies had been brought into two hospitals in the town from the attack. The doctor, who declined to be named because he is not authorised to speak to the press, also said there was a need for blood donations to treat the injured.

President Muhammadu Buhari condemned the attack, calling it "heinous", and the Vatican said Pope Francis was praying for the victims who had been "painfully stricken in a moment of celebration".

Nigeria is battling an Islamist insurgency in the northeast and armed gangs who carry out attacks and kidnappings for ransom, mostly in the northwest.

In the southwest, attacks such as this are rare.

This seems to be a casual thing in northern Nigeria. Happens quite often as ive red several news about such church/christian massacres in the North. I think Nigeria would have been better off separating into 2 countries like North and south Sudan. Christian south should form their own country and muslim North should have theirs, for peace to reign. This forced unification is just creating troubles for nothing.

When white nations kill millions of unarmed civilians then this is the blow back you get.

50 dead is Nigeria doesn't even compare to a day in Iraq during the occupation.

 

[Englishman]

Why 50....90% of terrorist attacks around the world and owned/done by Islamist organisations.......factor-in those victims too.....

and out of those million killed majority would be when Muslims killed Muslims....Iraq-Iran - Jordan Palestine, Shia Sunni, ISIS-Syria/Iraq, Pakistan-Balochistan/FATA, Afghanistan - Taliban,..... Non-Muslims (West) instigated and fuelled the fire..... it was then predominantly Muslims who took the flame and burnt each other.

Is that true?

The biggest act of terror in history, the nuking of Japan, was done by those of a white European/Christian background

Several 100,000 dead

The illegal Iraq war, that was justified on a lie, resulted in the terrorism of an entire nation by anglo-saxons. Several thousand dead.

This is within living memory.

6 million Jews exterminated by white Europeans. Within living memory.

Perhaps you could put a figure on the number of people Muslims have killed and terrorised within living memory?

I'll give you a head start by asking you to reach a million only.

Good luck

Sad thing is.. Nigerian Christians are the most islamophobic people after Hindu zealots that frequent this forum. So am I surprised? No!

Boko haram has been mainly targeting Muslims in the north which didn't get a thread on this forum.

True

We need to look at what's causing this though. It's a recent phenomenon.

Terrorism of this type was practically unheard of 20 years ago. Something has changed and ots getting worse.

 

[Trango Towers]

Such a shame ...

 

[Al_Muhannad]

Yup , not only me but world believes in that...the sole reason why some have to cry out Islamophobia....

There is a reason Islam defines a clear foreign policy for people like you.

 

[Jugger]

Fucking extremists and some retard here trying to defend islamophobia based on the actions of such extremist bastards in Nigeria.

Retard mentality all around. Waiting for nature to hit that big old reset button and end this shit show once and for all.

Please keep the reset button for yourself, everything is fine here in the civilised world, let us live.

I would gladly push the reset button for Afghanistan, Somalia, north Korea and similar hell holes.

Absolutely when compared to the ultimate paradise in the civilizations of the universe : India :

Victims of Hindutvadi terrorism and anti-humanity : An elderly man and a professor

These are two very recent incidents in India but this can be a mega thread but if you make contributions about new incidents please be rational, not religious extremist yourself and speak on a general pan-human level, something that can be understood by every human anywhere on Earth. Incident...

Fcuk it lets be selfish

Fcuk this shit, I don't give a money's *** about Hindus or christians in Nigeria or anywhere else



Just get used to the world rather then cribbing about it

Yep, you don't give a s*** about Hindus and Christians..... One can also add Jews, Buddhists, Sikhs, Ahmadis, rustafarians, atheists etc to your list.
Basically you hate all non muslims all over the world, don't you...??
