Ethiopia: Muslims torch ten churches, murder 50 Christians

21
Christians are being murdered for their faith all too frequently by barbaric Islamic groups. Christians are often singled out, tortured and faced with the brutal choice of converting to Islam or being slaughtered. This should come as no surprise to anyone: hatred of the non-believer is in the Quran.
‘When you meet the disbelievers, strike them in the neck, and once they are defeated, bind any captives firmly…. (47:4)
But not a word in the international media about this. “Journalists” are too busy trying to destroy President Trump and find incidents of “islamophobia.”

In mid-June, 20 Christians were killed in the Bale Goba area of Oromia, west of the Somali region. Although some observers blamed TPLF sympathisers, a local source told World Watch Monitor that it took place after Christians opposed the installation of a monument for a prominent Muslim leader in the area.
Some locals pinned the blame on the government, saying they were warning Christians against opposing such moves in future.
“Similar tensions are bubbling under the surface in other parts of Oromia,” said World Watch Monitor’s source. “We have even heard of places where Muslims had asked Christians to vacate the area. And though this call is veiled as ethnic rivalry by some media and observers, it is at its very core a religious matter.”…
