| How Ivory Coast, Senegal, Mali and Guinea Bissau Muslim Refugees drown Nigerian Christian refugees in the Mediterranean for Being ‘Infidels’ |
Details have emerged of how Muslim migrants from Ivory Coast, Senegal, Mali and Guinea Bissau hauled Nigerian and Ghanain Christian migrants into the Mediterranean Sea enroute Italy. On Thursday, April 16, police in Sicily reported that Muslim migrants hurled 12 Christians overboard during a recent crossing from Libya; another forty-one Christians were believed to have been drowned in a separate incident.
The motive was that the victims “professed the Christian faith while the aggressors were Muslim.” According to the Associated Press.
Palermo police said they had detained 15 people suspected in the high seas assault, which they learned of while interviewing tearful survivors from Nigeria and Ghana who had arrived in Palermo Wednesday morning after being rescued at sea by the ship Ellensborg.
The 15 were accused of multiple homicide aggravated by religious hatred, police said in a statement. The survivors said they had boarded a rubber boat April 14 on the Libyan coast with 105 passengers aboard, part of the wave of migrants taking advantage of calm seas and warm weather to make the risky crossing from Libya, where most smuggling operations originate.
During the crossing, the migrants from Nigeria and Ghana — believed to be Christians — were threatened with being abandoned at sea by some 15 other passengers from the Ivory Coast, Senegal, Mali and Guinea Bissau.
Eventually the threat was carried out and 12 were pushed overboard. The statement said the motive was that the victims “professed the Christian faith while the aggressors were Muslim.”
The surviving Christians, the statement said, only managed to stay on board by forming a “human chain” to resist the assault
Muslim institutions routinely teach that Christians are ‘Infidels’ and ‘Enemies’ According to Saudi novelist and writer, Hani Naqshabandi, “Our [Islamic] religious institutions do not give us room to exercise free thought.” By way of example, he pointed out that “They [Saudi institutions] said that the Christian is an infidel, a denizen of hell, an enemy to Allah and Islam. So we said, ‘Allah’s curse on them.’”

The Saudi thinker made these assertions in an article he wrote for the Arabic language news site, Elaph.
He also admitted the obvious but little known fact that “Christians are in need of protection … What happened to Christians in Iraq and Syria, and further regions like Algeria, does not receive Arabic media coverage that befits human beings, whatever their religion.”
Nor, he may be surprised to learn, does Christian persecution receive Western media coverage that befits humans.
