This really saddens me to post this as I have great difficulty wrapping my mind around this kind of brutality. (via GatewayPundit)

On early Sunday morning Muslim herders attacked Christian villagers in Nigeria with machetes.
500 Christians were slaughtered.

Some of the bodies had been charred. Some had slash marks across their faces. One young victim was found to be scalped and few others were found with cut off hands and legs.

The Muslim hackers shouted “Allah Akhbar” (God is Great) before breaking into homes and hacking the Christians to death.
The AFP reported:

UN chief Ban Ki-moon and Washington led calls for restraint on Monday after the slaughter of more than 500 Christians in Nigeria, as survivors told how the killers chopped down their victims.

Funerals took place for victims of the three-hour orgy of violence on Sunday in three Christian villages close to the northern city of Jos, blamed on members of the mainly Muslim Fulani ethnic group.

While troops were deployed to the villages to prevent new attacks, security forces detained 95 suspects but faced bitter criticism over how the killers were able to go on the rampage at a time when a curfew was meant to be in force.

Media reported that Muslim residents of the villages in Plateau state had been warned by phone text message, two days prior to the attack, so they could make good their escape before the exit points were sealed off.

Survivors said the attackers were able to separate the Fulanis from members of the rival Berom group by chanting ‘nagge’, the Fulani word for cattle. Those who failed to respond in the same language were hacked to death.

One local paper said the gangs shouted Allah Akhbar (God is Great) before breaking into homes and setting them alight in the early hours of Sunday. Churches were among the buildings that were burned down.

I’d be lying to you if I didn’t tell you that I think this could be emblematic of the fact that we could very well be in the last days. I’ve been feeling this way for quite some time, what with all the talk of one world government and one world currency. The Bible talks about how Christians will be hated even more in the last days, and this sure seems to be pretty devastating evidence. Nothing is certain (in regards to timing), though I do think many are aware that we could be only years of away from Christ’s return. Look, I know some of you don’t believe in God and that’s fine. I realize that in writing this some of you will think I’m one of those crazy religious zealots, and perhaps I am in the worlds eyes. I’m okay with that. Just don’t be put off by my thoughts on this.

Also, there’s graphic video (that I haven’t watched) of the massacre over at GatewayPundit’s site, so I’m gonna make you go there to see it. Be warned it’s graphic.
