There is a lot of information in this archive. Use the SEARCH BAR at the top right. Prior to December 2012; I was a pro-Christian type of Conservative. I was unaware of the mass of Jewish lies in history, especially the lies regarding WW2 and Hitler. So in here you will find pro-Jewish and pro-Israel material. I was definitely WRONG about the Boeremag and Janusz Walus. They were for real.

[Lagos, Nigeria, November 15 ] – An Islamic court in northern Nigeria
has ordered a convicted murderer stabbed to death with the same knife used
to kill a woman and her two children, news reports said Thursday.
The Shariah court in the northern city of Katsina sentenced Sani Rodi
to “death by knifing” earlier this week in the killings of a state
security official’s wife and children, the Lagos daily Guardian newspaper
reported.
The sentence was passed after the official, Yusuf Hamza, and other
members of the victims’ family swore 25 times on the Quran that Rodi was the
killer.
The execution will be carried out with the same knife used in the
killings, the court ruled.
Rodi, who pleaded not guilty, was given 30 days to appeal the ruling,
reports said.
A dozen predominantly Muslim, northern states have implemented Shariah,
or Islamic law, prompting clashes with Christians in which thousands have
been killed over the past two years.
While two people have been condemned to death by stoning in recent
months for sexual offences, the death-by-knifing sentence was believed to be
the first of its kind in Nigeria.
Officials were not immediately available to comment.
On Wednesday, however, Justice Minister Bola Ige called the stoning
sentences “barbaric.” He said the federal government would prevent
Islamic courts from carrying out such harsh rulings.
