Nigerian pastor murdered in machete attack was known for Christian charity, working to foster peace with Muslims

A Muslim mob in northern Nigeria’s Kano state hacked to death a church leader and burned down his home, church and a Christian school to avenge the murder of a woman allegedly committed by a young man falsely believed to be a Christian convert, according to reports.

The Rev. Yohanna Shuaibu of New Life Church, who was the chair of the Christian Association of Nigeria in the Sumaila Local Government Area and lived in Massu village, succumbed to multiple machete wounds last Friday, Morning Star News reported.

“The Muslims felt the young man who killed the woman in a fight is a Christian, and they likely targeted the pastor for attack because it was through the ministry of Pastor Shuaibu that many Muslims were converted to the Christian faith,” Hosle Tongnan Michael, a friend and colleague of Shuaibu, was quoted as saying.

Shuaibu helped raise funds for the school where local children study and also for boreholes for Christian communities that were denied access to government-provided water sources, according to the U.K.-based group Christian Solidarity Worldwide, which said the pastor also fixed a broken water source at a local mosque in an attempt to foster peace and unity.

Amazingly horrifying to see how easy an Islamic mob can be loosed after Friday ‘prayers’ in the local Mosque. Used to expect it in Pakistan but now we are seeing it in Africa. Boko Haram (Western Education Forbidden) has been a menace in Nigeria for decades, remember “Return Our Daughters” in the Obama years?

Now it appears that Nigeria is, governmentally, surrendering to its Islamic majority (56% to 43% Christian), especially in the north which borders on the Muslim-dominate SubSahel countries. Note that Nigeria is an OPEC member and ranks in the top 10 for oil production and reserves. It is thus, a prize to be won, but it appears that only Islam is fighting!

A radical moslem wants to kill infidels. A moderate moslem wants radical moslems to kill infidels.

Fostering peace with Muslims.

I'm sure the pastor's motives were the highest, but that was his fatal mistake.

Years ago I knew an Israeli woman who told me on Fridays in Israel there's whats referred to as ''the stabbing hour'', usually around four in the afternoon. It happens because the imans get the ''faithful'' whipped up in the mosques at three and then they come out and go nuts.
