Nigerian seminarian burned alive by Muslims
Suspected Muslim terrorists attacked and burned a Catholic seminary in Kaduna State, Nigeria on Friday night at 8:00pm and killed a young seminarian who was trapped in the fire, reports International Christian Concern.
The attack occurred at the rectory and house of St. Rachael’s Parish. While two priests escaped the blaze, seminarian Naam Ngofe Danladi perished.
Kaduna State Governor Uba Sani vowed to bring the assailants to justice.
Ecclesiastes 12:14 says, “For God will bring every deed into judgment, with every secret thing, whether good or evil.”

First moments of the 9/11 Muslim terrorist attacks
Twenty two years ago today, at 8:46 a.m. on September 11, 2001, Dick Oliver, a reporter for Good Day New York on WNYW-TV, uttered these shocking words on live television as he talked to the anchor, Jim Ryan.
OLIVER: “Jim, just a few moments ago, something, believed to be a plane, crashed into the South Tower of the World Trade Center. I just saw flames inside. You can see the smoke coming out of the, of the tower. We have no idea of what it was. I was a tremendous boom just a few moments ago. You can hear around me emergency vehicles heading towards the scene. Now, this could have been an aircraft or it could have been something internal. It appears to be something coming from the outside due to the nature of the opening on about the 100th floor of the South Tower of the World Trade Center.”
Minutes later, Dick Oliver observed this.
OLIVER: “Now, the smoke coming out of the opening appears to be black smoke. This would indicate things that are burning inside. We have no idea of what happened. But we did hear what sounded like, sounded like an aircraft, and then, a tremendous a boom. Now, I don’t know whether we can confirm that that was an aircraft or not.”
And then, for the first time, Fox 5 anchor Jim Ryan cited the 1993 terrorist attack on the World Trade Center.
RYAN: “One’s memory has to go back to another terrorist attack — one would hope it is not this time, but if it were a plane that crashed into the side of the building — you would imagine that there would be something on the ground that would be visible.”
OLIVER: “That’s true, Jim. I cannot see the ground from here. You recall back in, I believe, it was 1945 when a U.S. Air Force plane crashed into the, about the 80th floor of the Empire State Building during a foggy night. The skies here, as you can see, perfectly clear. So, I’m starting to lean to the idea that perhaps, whatever happened here, came from the inside of the World Trade Center.”
RYAN: “Something has either crashed into the World Trade Center. (Pause) Ah. If it. (Pause) We’re, we’re, I’m just told that Metro traffic is reporting that it was indeed a plane crash. If that’s the case, ‘Where’s the plane?’ I would ask. I don’t see it in that live picture there. One’s thoughts, obviously, go back to a terrorist attack on the World Trade Center that created havoc there back in the early 90s.”
The February 26, 1993 World Trade Center bombing was also a Muslim terrorist attack in which a van bomb detonated below the North Tower of the World Trade Center complex. The 1,336-pound nitrate-hydrogen-gas-enhanced device was intended to send the North Tower crashing into its twin, the South Tower, taking down both skyscrapers and killing tens of thousands of people. It failed to do so, but killed six people, including a pregnant woman, and caused over a thousand injuries.
On September 11, 2001, 19 Muslim terrorists hijacked four airplanes, two of which they flew into the World Trade Center towers. A third plane hit the Pentagon, which headquarters the Department of Defense, and the fourth, United Airlines Flight 93, which was likely destined to take out the Capitol, was downed in Pennsylvania by brave Americans who fought back.
All told, 2,996 Americans perished along with all 19 Muslim al-Qaeda terrorists.
New Mexico Governor suspends the Second Amendment
New Mexico Governor Michelle Grisham, a Democrat, issued an emergency order on Friday seemingly suspending the Second Amendment, reports ABC News. She has graciously exempted law enforcement officials and security guards.
For the next 30 days, citizens are not allowed to carry guns in public in the Albuquerque area following recent gun violence. She cited the murder of an 11-year-old boy who was shot and killed in a road rage incident last week.
Kourtney Kardashian’s pre-born baby saved by fetal surgery
And finally, some good news!
Celebrity Kourtney Kardashian shared surprisingly pro-life sentiments last Wednesday when she announced that her unborn baby’s life had been spared during a recent emergency surgery, reports LifeSitenews.com.
The reality TV star went to the hospital on Friday, September 1, for emergency surgery that brought her husband, Travis Barker, back to the United States from his rock band’s tour in Scotland and Ireland. In a lengthy Instagram post, Kardashian wrote, “I will be forever grateful to my incredible doctors for saving our baby’s life. … Praise be to God. Walking out of the hospital with my baby boy in my tummy and safe was the truest blessing.” 4,800,000 people have already liked the post.
Barker, her husband, tweeted, “God is great. I flew home for a life-threatening emergency surgery for our baby that I’m so grateful went well.”
In Jeremiah 1:5, God said, “Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you.”
Details on what complication threatened the baby’s life were not disclosed.
More than a decade ago, LifeSiteNews reported that when Kourtney was expecting her first child at age 30, she considered abortion, but chose life after reading testimonies from post-abortive women. She said she “was sitting on the bed hysterically crying” upon hearing the horror stories of guilt-ridden mothers who had killed their babies.
