Abduction of Infidels is sanctioned in Islamic law and subject to particular rules: “As for the captives, the amir [ruler] has the choice of taking the most beneficial action of four possibilities: the first to put them to death by cutting their necks; the second, to enslave them and apply the laws of slavery regarding their sale and manumission; the third, to ransom them in exchange for goods or prisoners; and fourth, to show favor to them and pardon them. Allah, may he be exalted, says, ‘When you encounter those [infidels] who deny [the Truth=Islam] then strike [their] necks’ (Qur’an sura 47, verse 4)” — Al-Mawardi, al-Ahkam as-Sultaniyyah (The Laws of Islamic Governance).
“Gunmen Shoot Pastor, Kill Two Sons, Kidnap Daughter In Adamawa,” Sahara Reporters, July 7, 2022:
Gunmen have shot a pastor, gunned down his two sons and kidnapped his 13-year-old daughter in Adamawa State.
The sons died while the pastor is fighting to survive in the hospital.
SaharaReporters learnt that ferocious gunmen stormed the residence of Reverend Daniel Umaru of the ‘Eklesiya Yan’uwa A Nigeria’ (EYN); also known as Church of the Brethren, at Njairi in the Mubi Local Government Area and carried out the dastardly act.
A source close to the family told SaharaReporters that the assailants invaded the pastor’s residence in the early hours of Wednesday and opened fire on him and his two sons, killing the sons instantly.
“We heard terrifying gunshots from Reverend Umaru’s house around 2:00 am on Wednesday. The neighbourhood was rattled, we had to find where to hide.
“It felt like another round of Boko Haram invasion; we had no idea if we’ll be alive or we’ll be taken hostage before dawn.
“About now, the pastor is receiving medication at the Mubi General Hospital, while his traumatised wife is on life support at the same hospital,” the source informed….

Yes–this horror is perfectly Islamic.

“gunmen”…a.k.a. mozlum terrorists doing satan’s desires. Just about every day from nigeria…one or more accounts of murder, kidnapping, rape, destruction. Demonic.
mortimer says
The gunmen are following the instructions of the mullahs in sacred Sharia law, so they believe they are divinely inspired by the Sharia … Allah’s eternally-valid laws.

@Q5.7: Intimidation
The sixth degree is threatening and intimidation, such as by saying, “Stop this or I’ll- “; and when possible this should precede actually hitting the person. The rule for this level is not to make a threat that one cannot carry out, such as saying “or I’ll seize your house,” or “take you wife hostage,” because if one says this seriously, it is unlawful, and if not serious, then one is lying.
@Q5.8: Assault
The seventh degree is to directly hit or kick the person, or similar measures that do not involve weapons. This is permissible for private individuals provided it is necessary, and that one confines oneself to the minimum needed to stop the reprehensible action and nothing more. When the action has been stopped, one refrains from doing anything further.
@Q5.9: Force of Arms
The eighth degree is when one is unable to censure the act by oneself and requires the armed assistance of others. Sometimes the person being reproved may also get people to assist him, and a skirmish may ensue, so the soundest legal opinion is that this degree requires authorization from the caliph (def : o25). since it leads to strife and the outbreak of civil discord. Another view is that there is no need for caliph’s permission.

Islam is the only religion that canonizes vigilante attacks on critics of Islam. It’s in Sharia law.
Walter Sieruk says
Thar despicable and horrendous two murderers of the sons of that Christian pastor , and even a kidnapping, of his daughter in Nigeria is an evil which Islam inspired because it’s a false and demonic religion.
Such unconscionable and vicious behavior by those Muslims reveals that there are many Muslims who strongly dislike Christians. Some Muslims even hate Christians so much that they even become violence against them and burn their Bibles. One reason for this is that in the mosques and madrasas the Muslim clerics, as the imams who speak many awful and unproven terrible things against Christians and Christian doctrine.
So much so the many Muslims get all worked up against Christians and Christian teachings and some those Muslims commit violent actions against Christians. Such false religious teachers, as those Muslim clerics, who speak to people unfounded and invalid evil things about Christians and Christian doctrines have been described in the Bible. For the Bible informs the reader in Second Peter 2:12. “They speak evil of things they do not understand, and will utterly perish in their own corruption.” [N.K.J.V.]
It also should be make clear that in this specific above Bible verse, as well as in John 3:16. The word “Perish” does not mean loss of being but loss of well-being. As in going to ruin by ending up in languishing in torment in a terrible place of suffering that the Bible calls hell. Luke 16:19-31.

Dear Walter, the problem is in Sharia law. If more people could expose Sharia law, many more Muslims would be ashamed of it and leave Islam.
Islam approves of and canonizes vigilantes who attack, assault, rob and kill critics of Islam.
They do it because Sharia law clearly promotes vigilante actions like this.
gravenimage says
Unfortunately, pious Muslims are not ashamed of Shari’ah law. They want to impose it on others.
tim gallagher says
Ah, peaceful islam and its followers at work yet again. Wherever islam is, there is neverending violence, that is the one thing that this evil ideology always brings. Day after day, Jihad Watch lets us know about these murderous actions in African countries by Muslims. It is a shame that the main stream media don’t cover this violence in African countries, but it seldom seems to be on their radar. Islam and murderous violence always go together and those clowns who tell us that islam is peaceful are gullible fools. Nothing could be further from the truth. islam will always provide plenty of excuses for Muslims to murder innocent people.
somehistory says
And tim, may I add that too many make excuses for mozlums to act in these murderous, kidnapping and raping ways. that’s a form of aiding and abetting, but they are not ashamed.
tim gallagher says
No doubt about that, somehistory. I find it hard to understand why anyone would make any excuses for the atrocious, evil behaviours of so many Muslims. I know people on the left seem to side with islam, but some of the others who make excuses for islam baffle me.
somehistory says
It baffles me too, Tim. Especially when those same people quote the Bible and claim to be Christian. They don’t seem to acknowledge that one cannot have it both ways.
tim gallagher says
I think for some people, including many Christians, somehistory, they believe that it is all about being endlessly tolerant and endlessly nice. I agree with you that Christians cannot have it both ways.
somehistory says
tim, it will have to come to them someday…Truth will not be denied for always and boils always have to burst or be lanced. this is building up daily, and sooner or later, even the most tolerant will have to see the light…even as it hits many when they see it.

Nigeria: Muslims shoot pastor, kill his two sons, kidnap his daughter
……………………………………
Just horrifying. I hope this poor man survives.
And this is not the end of the ordeal for his young daughter, who will likely be raped and perhaps “married” off to one of the Jihadists.
God, I hate Islam.
mortimer says
Yes, Mohammed’s commandment authorizes the so-called ‘love-jihad’ in which non-Muslims women and girls are kidnapped and forcibly married without their consent.
