[BREITBART] The Washington Post reported Thursday that Islamic Post writer Danielle Paquette noted that jihadist death squads have been checking people’s necks for Christian symbols, killing anyone wearing a cross, crucifix, or some other Christian image.
As Breitbart News reported last month, Burkina Faso
...The country in west Africa that they put where Upper Volta used to be. Its capital is Oogadooga, or something like that. Its president is currently Blaise Compaoré, who took office in 1987 and will leave office feet first, one way or the other...
Bishop Laurent Birfuoré Dabiré has publicly condemned the ongoing, targeted slaughter of Christians by Islamic radicals, warning it could lead to the elimination of a Christian presence in Burkina Faso.
"If this continues without anyone intervening, the result will be the elimination of the Christian presence in this area and ‐ perhaps in the future ‐in the entire country," Bishop Dabiré told Aid to the Church in Need (ACN), a Catholic organization providing assistance to persecuted Christians around the world
Since January 2019, there have been five major jihadist attacks on Christians in the country, ACN reported in July, the last of which happened in late June.
"It happened in the neighboring Diocese of Ouahigouya," the bishop said. "The Islamists arrived and forced everyone to lie on the floor. Then they were registered, and four of them who were carrying crucifixes were killed for being Christians."
After the massacre, the jihadists told the other villagers that if they did not convert to Islam, they would also be killed.
These assassinations "followed attacks on churches in the West African nation that have left at least two dozen people dead since February," Ms. Paquette stated in her Wednesday piece.
"A spreading Islamist insurgency has transformed Burkina Faso from a peaceful country known for farming, a celebrated film festival and religious tolerance into a hotbed of extremism," she said.
She also noted that attacks by
...formerly ISISor ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're really very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling
Allaharound with every other sentence, but to hear western pols talk they're not
reallyMoslems....
and al-Qaeda "have quadrupled since 2017 in Burkina Faso," and the environment of terror has driven some 70,000 people from their homes since January.
