Two jihad attacks kill 18 in Burkina Faso

West Africa -- Two jihadist attacks killed at least 18 people, including 16 auxiliaries supporting the army in Burkina Faso, according to sources on Friday. The attacks were carried out on Thursday, initially targeting members of the Volunteers for the Defence of the Fatherland (VDP), killing seven people.

The jihadis then ambushed a VDP and soldier-escorted convoy in northwest Nayala province which killed a civilian and ten volunteers.

Jihadist conflicts have been going on for seven years in this area, one of the poorest and most volatile in the world. Since 2015, it has been dealing with an insurgency led by jihadis affiliated with Islamic State and Al-Qaeda. Since its beginning in the region, tens of thousands have been killed and about 2 million people have been displaced.

Thursday's "first attack targeted an advance party of Volunteers for the Defence of the Fatherland (VDP) in Rakoegtenga," a town in the northern province of Bam, a VDP official said. Six auxiliaries and a woman were killed in the attack and about 10 people were wounded and "evacuated to Ouagadougou for appropriate care," the official said.

In the second attack, about 10 auxiliaries and a person in Nayala province were slaughtered when they were ambushed on the Siena-Saran road.

14 W. African Christians massacred at church by Islamists-no motive known

OUAGADOUGOU -- Fourteen Christians were murdered in church on Sunday in the West African nation of Burkina Faso by attackers who stormed in and opened fire. It is believed that members of the "religion of peace," Islam, were the gunmen but Reuters stated that the identities of the gunmen were not immediately clear:

The identities of the gunmen were not immediately clear, nor were additional details about the attack, which took place in the village of Hantoukoura near the border with Niger in the Est region. Burkina Faso’s armed forces were caring for the wounded and searching the area, the government said in a statement.

This year an Islamist insurgency has ignited ethnic and religious tensions in Burkina Faso, rendering large parts of the country ungovernable, especially in northern areas bordering restive Mali.

The article goes on to say that the area is "known for banditry" and has come under attack from "suspected jihadist groups" associated with Al Qaeda and Islamic State. The timing of the attack mirrors other anti-Christian attacks this year, such as the one on November 6 in which gunmen fired upon a convoy of buses carrying miners, killing 39.

In Sunday's attack, the AFP reports that about 10 "heavily armed individuals" carried out the church massacre "executing the faithful including the pastor and children."

As predicted, President Roch Marc Christian Kabore condemned the "barbaric attack" on the church, and offered his "deepest condolences to the bereaved families and wish a speedy recovery to the wounded."

That's refreshing and helpful.

But it wasn't just a barbaric attack; it was a jihad attack and more will likely follow throughout the globe.

Christians are the most persecuted group in the world and anti-Semitism is also at an all-time high. 

In 2016, Fox News reported that the “Center for Studies on New Religions determined that 90,000 Christians were killed for their beliefs worldwide the previous year. Almost one third of the deaths were attributed to Islamic extremists such as ISIS while others were slaughtered by state and non-state persecution, as known to occur in North Korea.

Ebola Loves Sharia

Islam isn't just about restoring the caliphate and beheading non believers; Islam is the single most contributor to the spread of Ebola and other diseases that can be transmitted through bodily fluids. Thank you Mohammed.

Let's look at West Africa, the birthplace of Ebola and Muslim country.

When a Muslim dies, certain rituals kick in. Relatives of the dead wash the dead victim from head to toe, a ritual known as Ghusi. This ritual is usually performed by several of the victim's relatives.

Before soap and water is applied, the abdomen is pressed down in order to rid the body of remaining fluids. Thus, urine and feces are excreted in the presence of the next likely victims.

For the final cleansing, camphor and water is used and the family dries the body and wraps it in white linens, preparing their loved one to hook up with their 72 virgins (for the men) and their dead husbands (for the women who are lucky enough not to go to hell and whose husband has pre-deceased them).

If Ghusi is not performed, the deceased is believed to be "impure" and in jeopardy of not getting into Paradise (unless, of course, the deceased died in the holy performance of jihad in which he or she has killed unbelievers. In those cases, Ghusi is not required).

Finally, at the funeral, a common bowl used for ablution (to wash one's face, feet and hands) is passed from person-to-person, just to make sure that everyone has an equal Ebola opportunity, especially since dead Ebola victims are more contagious than living ones.

This is Sharia law. This is required by Islam, just like jihad is required. And unless Mosque leaders step in and end this practice, Ebola is going to spread like wild fires in a wind storm.

The World Health Organization issued an advisory to the Red Cross and relief workers in African nations to "be aware of the family's cultural practices and religious beliefs. Help the family understand why some practices cannot be done because they place the family or others at risk to exposure."

That hasn't really helped as some relief workers were attacked by a family in Guinea while trying to bury a dead Ebola victim. They removed the body from the sealed body-bag and eventually they all contracted Ebola.

Now if only we can get ISIS into the act.

"Don't Sweat the Ebola, Folks, I Don't," Obama Says

"President" Obama defended his untenable position against a travel ban on West Africa, the Ebola vacation spot of the world. He is urging Americans to resist Ebola 'hysteria' and not worry about catching this deadly virus. So far only 4500 people have died in West Africa from the virus, so Obama isn't restricting flights from that part of the world.

Barack smiled at the cameras and reassured us: "I'm not in the least bit worried that I'll catch Ebola, and I even have a name that rhymes with it." Of course he doesn't come in close contact with the public and flies in the Presidential Jet and helicopter. He carries a card in his wallet of Alfred E. Neuman that says, "What, me worry?"

Ebola Eboli and a Navy Corpseman

If there is one thing you can say about president Obama, it's that he is consistently incompetent. It's not just the economy anymore. It isn't Obamacare either. It's the planning of military strategy to combat ISIS and his strategy to deal with Ebola.

Ebola virus

We have a president who calls a Navy corpsman a "corpseman" and calls Ebola, "Eboli." And to expect that he knows anything about either the military or medicine is like expecting a gerbil to know the rules of golf.

In fact, the President of the Private Practice Doctors organization stated the government's lack of urgency to secure our borders and the inbound flights coming here from West Africa and their inability to properly screen people with fevers, has put Americans in danger of contracting the deadly virus. The Ebola protocols have been undermined and incompetence abounds.

Over 3000 people have already been killed by Ebola as the virus has quickly spread across Liberia, Guinea, Sierra Leone and Nigeria.

Dr. Reed Wilson, a renowned cardiologist, is highly critical of the administration's handling the Ebola crisis.

"We are relying on the failed governments of West African nations to do the screening of their citizens and travelers," Wilson said. "We are depending on Third World, untrained individuals to be the bulwark for the U.S.A. to prevent mass death. This should not bring comfort to the ears of American citizens."

The executive director of the Association of Physicians and Surgeons said that entry into the U.S.A. must halt in order to stop the spread of the virus.

So what does the White House do? 

Well, according to White House officials they say they are not considering a travel ban from West African nations that have an Ebola breakout because they have a "sophisticated multi layer screening system."

So how's that multi layer screening system working out for us? A symptomatic man from Liberia flew here from that nation to Texas where he came into contact with about 100 or so individuals. He vomited all over the apartment complex where he was staying and men in tee shirts cleaned up his messes.

I cannot name one thing president Obama has done that showed a true sense of competence or even a true sense of, well, truth. Even with this latest problem, he is handling it like a person who has no idea of what he's doing.

I would sooner trust my neighbor's cat with my tuna sandwich.
