Islamists Kill Nigerian Pastor's Wife, Kids
Compass Direct News ^ | 11 May 2011

Posted on 05/11/2011 6:52:13 PM PDT by george76

As she lay on the ground after being shot and then slashed with a machete, Dune James Rike looked into her husband’s tear-filled eyes and asked, “Is this the end between us, so we shall not be together again?”

Pastor James Musa Rike told Compass he held the hands of his dying, 35-year-old wife and told her, “Hold on to your faith in Jesus, and we shall meet and never part again.”

Muslim extremists who attacked Kurum village, in the Bogoro local government area of Nigeria’s Bauchi state, had already killed two of the couple’s children in a rampage that began Wednesday (May 4) at midnight. Rike, pastor of a Church of Christ in Nigeria (COCIN) congregation in Kurum, next heard the cries of his 13-year-old daughter, Sum James Rike, a few yards away.

“I rushed to my daughter, only to discover that she too was cut with a machete on her stomach, and her intestines were all around her,” he said. “I held her hand and began to pray, knowing she too was about to die. She told me that the Muslim militants told her they would kill her and “see how your Jesus will save you.”

The girl told her father that she responded by telling them that Jesus had already saved her, and that by killing her they would only be making it possible for her to be with Him. Pastor Rike prayed for her as she died.

Shooting and setting homes on fire, the Muslim extremists killed 12 other Christians in the attack. Bauchi police reported 16 people dead – one man, three women and 12 children.

Romans 8:35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?

36 As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.

37No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.

38For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,

39Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Islam is a satanic cult of death.

Christ’s influence even today is unbelievable:

Pastor Rike said the incident has strengthened his faith in Jesus.

“Whatever is the situation, I will never forsake Christ,” he said. “All human beings are created by God, and our attackers must know that they need to abandon anything that will lead them to destroy creations of God.”

Just a rare case of Islamist extremism operating on the fringe of Muslim society — yet again.

The disemboweling of others seems to be a Nigerian national pastime. In 1975, one of the members of the then ruling junta was himself the target of a coup by some junior officers. General Muhammad Murtala met with the cabal at the airport in Lagos (which today bears his name). He was disemboweled, according to lore, and was still alive when the local stray dogs fed on his innards. At least that’s what I was told.

snip: “The US will no longer be a Judeo-Christian country but a Christian-Moslem nation. Obama already said it in his inaugural address.”

The “March Newsletter 2011”, in particular....scary stuff. (And, THIS, from a Jew who originally hated Christians, until he realized Christians are Israel’s only friends.)

PC speak says--Religion of peace. A great religion, just hijacked by a few fanatics. Water boarding is torture! We have to show them who we are by turning the other cheek. We have to understand!

DFR syndrome -Divorced from reality=progressives and fellow travelers like Kirsten Powers and other mind numbed pundits.

In actuality, this slaughter in Nigeria is really who they are; the Twin Towers is who they are; killing of Christians in Egypt, Nigeria, Sudan, and other Muslim countries is who they are. And I heard today Obamster is going to start his Muslim outreach again. Just what the US needs.vaudine

Sax, you are correct in what you say.

It is SO tempting to rage against these people, for it would be ‘right’ in a worldly way. The conduct of these people who were attacked is inspiring to say the least.

> Is there a day that goes by when jihadi cultists don’t rampage and murder?

No.

In fact, not an hour goes by without some new mohammedan outrage against humanity.
