Webloggin » Christian Teacher Torn Apart By Muslim Students

In an exclusive report by Judi McLeod, we learn of Christianah Oluwatoyin Olusase, ‘a Christian teacher at Government Day Secondary School in Gombe state, North Nigeria was torn apart, limb-by-limb, by a mob of Muslim students on March 21, 2007.’ Read it and weep:

Details about Christianah’s life are scarce. We do know that her life was dedicated to spreading the Gospel of Jesus Christ. We don’t know how long she taught at Government Day Secondary School, her age, or who are the loved ones prostrated by grief.

The information of her death comes from Compass Direct. And were it not for The Persecution & Prayer Alert, The Voice of the Martyrs Canada, Christianah’s passing would otherwise have gone unnoted.

The details of Christianah’s death are shocking.

Christianah was supervising an all-girl class while they were taking an Islamic Religious Knowledge examination, a routine job by any teacher’s standards the world over.

In accordance to school procedure, the homeroom teacher collected papers, books and bags before the exam papers were passed around. She left them in front of the class for pupils to retrieve later.

One of the girls responded by starting to cry and was soon telling her classmates that there had been a copy of the Quran in her bag left in front of the classroom.

The girl claimed that because Christianah was a Christian, she had desecrated the Quran by touching it.

The students began to chant in unison, “Allahu Akbar” (God is Great)”. These school age girls then beat, stoned and clubbed Christiania to death where she stood.

The deed done, the girls then dragged her corpse outside of the school building and burned it.

There were no flowers or cards left at the burial site as sometimes happens in the outpouring of grief in western culture. No candle vigils were held for Christianah. In fact, it is not even known if her loved ones will be able to give her a decent burial.

There was no outrage of the teacher’s horrific death in any western media, still busy these days following the life and times of the late Anna Nichole Smith.

Go read the rest of the article, other atrocities against Christians by Muslims in the region. Ms. McLeod ends her excellent article like this:

The Voice of the Martyrs asks you to “pray for peace and strength for Christians facing opposition from Muslims in Nigeria.”

God protect all Christians in Muslim nations everywhere.

Amen and Amen.
