On the evening of 24 December 1989, the gangster-like rebel group of Charles Taylor (the National Patriotic Front of Liberia NPFL) killed a hundred thousand Muslims pitilessly. They burned 75 Muslim preachers and scholars, pouring gasoline on them and burning them alive.

They tortured the Muslim Mu’aththins (callers to prayer) alive; cutting off their ears and cutting out their tongues! Seven hundred thousand Muslims were forced to leave their homes and their money and became homeless. They also destroyed mosques and Islamic schools, whose number before the massacre was 720 mosques, 150 elementary schools, and 45 high schools.

In 1990, Muslims were targeted in a massive annihilation war in all parts of Liberia. Taylor’s men focused their destructive assaults on the villages known for their Islamic activism. They killed the poor villagers either by gun shot or poisoned knives. Those who survived fled to Guinea and Sierra Leone. After Charles Taylor and his gang were finished killing Muslims in Liberia, they moved to Sierra Leone to complete their mission and kill those who had escaped. Among the Muslim Liberian Martyrs was Shaykh Baah, the head of the Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs. Guinea helped the Muslim refugees commendably and considered them as their brothers in religion. However, the rest of the Muslims around the world did not give the Liberian case due attention or care.

These horrible acts triggered the spirit of Islamic Jihaad. The Muslim ranks were united and a lot of young Muslims participated in Jihaad. This culminated in the establishment of a movement called (Save the Muslims of Liberia), which represents all Liberian Muslims at the political level.

The movement began its Jihadist rescue operations on 15 Safar, 1412 AH and its victories were crowned with the restoration of many of the lost areas that were under the control of Charles Taylor’s gang. The Christians tried to curb the spirit of Jihaad. They showered the churches with money in order to launch intensive crusade campaigns against the Muslims. However, their evil plots resulted in the renewal of fighting in Liberia and the return of many refugees to Guinea. But they plan and Allaah Plans, and Allaah Is the best of planners.

It is unfortunate that the role of Muslims in saving their brothers in West Africa is quite modest. It is confined to some humanitarian relief organizations which offer the least amount of aid. In the meanwhile, the stances of the Muslim governments stem from their joint interests with western countries, which do not want any interference but theirs in these areas in order to complete their plots to eradicate Islam from Africa.
