Jihadist Attacks ongoing in Burkina Faso

When ISIS crossed the border from Syria into Iraq, they showed the world that the goals of Jihadists are not restricted by national borders.  They pay no heed to them because their goal is not defined by declared state borders.  Their goal is to create a Caliphate that spans the globe, and they will stop at nothing to do this.  Those who think this goal is just and "ISIS Thing" and not an overcall goal by all Jihadist forces, only need to look at West Africa to see that this is not the case.  Jihadist groups like Boko Haram, ISIS, and Al-Qaeda have not only been carrying out ongoing attacks against Nigeria, but they've been attacking the surrounding nations as well, including Burkina Faso.


In the most recent attack, Jihadist militants carried out a massacre in the town of Seytenga in Northern Burkina Faso, killing at least 55 people.  It was the worst attack in this region since June of last year when a similar attack killed 160 people.  Sadly, these are not isolated attacks.  In the past two years experts believe that Jihadist terrorists have massacred over 5,000 throughout the country and also led to the internal displacement of over 2 million people who are seeking to escape the violence.  The Jihad shows no signs of letting up, and with most of the world now focused on the war between Russia and Ukraine, it is unlikely that significant outside aid to help combat the Jihadists will arrive.

Hamas Invasion of Israel

The brutal invasion of Israel by Hamas caught the entire world by surprise.  Over the last few years Israel has become accustomed to turning back rocket attacks and occasional cross-border raids by Hamas terrorists, but nobody anticipated this brutal full-out invasion.  Already being dubbed as "Israel's 9/11," militants stormed across the Gaza border and attacked towns across southern Israel.  Already over 900 Israelis are confirmed dead, thousands more wounded, and over 100 hostages, including women & children, have been taken back to Gaza ( Video Footage of Massacres ).   Israeli Woman Taken Hostage by Hamas The deadliest massacre so far took place at the Nova Music Festival in the Negev Desert close to Urim, a Jewish community that lives close to the Gaza Strip.  At 6am on Oct. 7th, the attack on the festival began as rockets rained down and Hamas gunmen appeared and opened fire.  As of now over 260 Israelis are confirmed dead from this attack alone with a number o

Jihadists World-Wide Celebrate Massacres in Israel

The Plague of Jihad is all over the world.  The past few days has witnessed Israel suffer the most horrific attack that it has endured since the October War of 1973, yet for all of the senseless death, for all of the footage that we see of Hamas militants murdering Israelis in cold blood, many in the world are in fact celebrating this atrocity.   Hamas Supporters in Canada In Iran, crowds of Hamas supporters took to the streets to celebrate the slaughter of Israelis by Hamas while their government leaders lavished praise on the terrorists ( Link to Article ).  In the nation of Turkey, Hamas supporters crowded the streets of Istanbul chanting "Allahu Akbar" & "Khaybar Khaybar Ya Yahud" ( Link to Video ).  "Khaybar Khaybar ya yahud, jaish Muhammad soufa ya'oud" is the full version of the chant.  It translates to "Khaybar Khaybar or Jews, the Army of Muhammad will return."  For those unfamiliar with the context of this chant, Khaybar was the

Hamas and Their Child Soldier Training Camps

Image
For years the world has known that Hamas deliberately targets children for indoctrination and training to carry out terrorist missions.  They have camps throughout Gaza and other areas of the Middle East where children are taught to hate, & trained to kill.  These camps are often referred to as "Summer Youth Camps."  The titles sound harmless enough, but unlike the summer youth camps in the U.S. and other Western nations where children play games, do crafts, and in general, have fun, the Hamas "Summer Youth Camps" are nothing like this.  They're training camps, where children are trained in weapons handling, military drills, and are indoctrinated to "hate the Infidel," particularly Jews.   Link to Video On videos that have circulated across the online world, these children have openly confessed that they have come here for the purpose of learning to fight.  One such video surfaced on MEMRI with a child openly stating "We did not come here to e
