Nigerian jihadists misunderstand Islam, say "the solution is jihad" and "nothing will stop them but the sword and the spear"

Don't these Nigerian Islamophobes know that jihad is an interior spiritual struggle? "Internet Video: Muslims Must Rise Up in Nigeria," from AP, March 16 (thanks to all who sent this in):

LAGOS, Nigeria (AP) -- A video posted on a militant Web site calls for Muslims in Nigeria to use ''the sword and the spear'' to rise up against Christians in Africa's most populous nation, according to a translation released Tuesday by a U.S. group that monitors militant sites.

The video on the Ansar al-Mujahideen forum, a Web site sympathetic to al-Qaida, comes in the wake of a series of religious massacres and riots in central Nigeria.

The video shows television news footage and graphic images of those killed as a narrator tells viewers ''the solution is jihad in the cause of Allah,'' according to a translation provided by the SITE Intelligence Group.

''Negotiations, dialogues and protests will not stop the advancement of the enemies and their massacres,'' the narrator says. ''Nothing will stop them but the sword and the spear.''

The narrator also says the ''crusader West'' is interested in Nigeria for its abundant oil reserves. He refers to President Umaru Yar'Adua, a Muslim from northern Nigeria, as a ''tyrant'' who allowed the killing of a sect leader whose group's attacks on police stations and rioting left more than 700 people dead in July....

The Gatling Minigun will do a fine job of stopping them dead in their tracks.

"Negotiations, dialogues and protests will not stop the advancement of the enemies and their massacres," the narrator says.

And yet we have fools here in the West who still believe you can reason with these savages.

Nigerian jihadists misunderstand Islam, say "the solution is jihad" and "nothing will stop them but the sword and the spear"
......................

Who says Islam is monumental? See, in Nigeria, Islam is tailored to local specifics, so it is "the sword *and the spear*", rather than just the sword.

Perhaps this is the "synergistic Islam of Africa" that we hear so much about... sarc/off

The bad news is that Christians in Nigeria will inevitably be defeated by the Moslems. You know why: one belief system is predicated upon love-thy-neighbor, the other on takeover-thy-neighbor.

The good news is that... er, well, uhhh, can't really think of any of that right now. Tancredo disappeared. Pope Benedict folded like a cheap suit. Got a born Moslem Marxist Prez. Yale Law grad Hillary is negotiating away our right to free speech to mollify the OIC. Geert Wilders is going to jail for speaking freely and truthfully. Jihadis get Mirandized now. Pork product has come under sustained political attack on the home front...

Anybody, is there some good news out there?

From the article - ''Negotiations, dialogues and protests will not stop the advancement of the enemies and their massacres,'' the narrator says. ''Nothing will stop them but the sword and the spear.''

Typical boilerplate Muslim projection, stomach-turning in its amoral monstrousness.

It is the MUSLIMS who for fifty years and more, ever since the Biafra War, and doubtless through all the centuries since Islam arrived in that part of Africa, who have been attacking the non-Muslims, whether animist (in the early centuries) or Christian (once Christianity established itself, peacefully, during the 19th century). It is the MUSLIMS who in the past ten years, particularly, have been raping and mass-murdering Christians in northern and central Nigeria; and who then have been screaming blue murder if the Christians, and other non-Muslims, driven beyond all reasonable endurance, and denied any help from the Muslim-controlled army and police force, and the Muslim-dominated government, begin to try - quite understandably and sensibly - to defend themselves by main force against the church burners and the mass murderers and the howling, allahu-akbaring Muslim mobs, and FIGHT BACK and even - at times - win! Muslims think they are entitled hurt and kill others, whenever they like, and as cruelly as they like - but that no-one is allowed to kill or hurt their precious Muslim selves in response!

I think this little piece by Phyllis Chesler really says it all, about the Mohammedan bully mind, that laughs when it hurts another, but HOWLS, in screeches of outrage, if the person he attacks, DARES to resist, to say NO, to fight back:

'The Jihadi Feels Persecuted—His Aggression is Self-Defense'.

In response to such monstrous reversal of reality, in response to the murdering bully who cries that he is 'defending' himself against his intended victim's inexplicable refusal to lie down and offer the neck to the scimitar - how DARE they resist him! - the Christians of Nigeria would do well to remember the words of Winston Churchill, from the original unabridged 1899 edition of 'The River War' (describing the British Empire going up against the screaming hordes of the Muslim Mahdi - slave-master, jihad rabble-rouser, murderer and enslaver of black Africans by the thousands - in the Sudan, in the late 19th century):

"No terms but fight or death were offered. No reparation or apology could be made. . .

"The red light of retribution played on the bayonets and the lances,

'and civilization—elsewhere sympathetic, merciful, tolerant, ready to discuss or to argue, eager to avoid violence, to submit to law, to effect a compromise—

"here advanced with an expression of inexorable sternness,

and rejecting all other courses, offered only the arbitration of the sword."

The Muslim was first to invoke the sword and take it up. Let him discover that the civilised and the peaceful will wield the sword against him, and that they *do not accept* his monstrous assumption that he, and he alone, is entitled to hurt others and yet not be hurt by his intended victims.

For in the short term (though the Gospel IS making significant inroads through radio, etc.) the non-Muslims of southern and central Africa and their friends elsewhere in the world need to wake up and realize that it is ONLY 'the sword and spear', or rather, the modern equivalents of the Gatling gun, that will stop the MUSLIM hordes (Arab-bankrolled, Arab-incited, now pushing down relentlessly from the North and north-east into equatorial sub-saharan Africa) from robbing, pillaging, vandalising churches, clinics and businesses, raping, kidnapping, enslaving and mass-murdering the Christians and non-Muslims of Nigeria and of southern Africa.

Let the Christians of Nigeria remember, along with Churchill's bleak wisdom, that of the book of Ecclesiastes:

"To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:

"a time to be born and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up what is planted.

"a time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down and a time to build up...

"a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing..

"a time to rend, and a time to sew, a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;

"a time to love, and a time to hate;

"a time of war, and a time of peace".

Seems to me that at this time, in Nigeria, it is a time to speak, and to name and defy evil, rather than to keep silence and give way, and it is a time of war, not a time of peace.


My high schooler has been chronicling this story for a current events class. Apparently, Muslim inhabitants of villages where Christians were massacred received warnings to flee via cell phone.

The instructor said, "rubbish." He then went on to castigate my son for blaming Islam. My son did not blame Islam, he merely presented 11 news articles from around the globe.

I contacted the dhimmi and the principal. I told them my son doesn't control world events or news reports. He just collected data. This instructor is a reform Jew whose big cause is Darfur. I asked him what the difference is...tick, tick, tick.

Your son's teacher is a selfish moron.

You have to use a parents RIGHTS as a weapon against him. No confrontations, no arguments. Be as cool as a cucumber!

Here is what you have to do. Get permission from the office to stop by your son's class. DO NOT give the teacher advance notice. STAY FOR QUITE A LONG TIME. Sit in the back of the class. STARE AT HIM!

Oh, and bring cookies and candy in a small bag for each student, and be sure to put in some CHEWING GUM.

DO NOT BRING HIM ANYTHING!NOTHING!

He WILL be unnerved and the kids happy for the treats!

COUNT ON IT!!

I did this to a particular smart-as$ teacher in my son's 9th grade class many years ago... and I did it at least twice a month. THAT teacher was petrified of me by the second visit!

The kids LOVED me and told me so! They said I was COOL! High fives all around.

They hated that teacher as much as I did. But he never ever took a snotty attitude with me or my son again.

Sonny finished the class with an 'A' average and graduated with honors years later.He was always a good student and I was NOT going to allow that idiot teacher to turn him against education!

I fight back.

"nothing will stop them but the sword and the spear"

Not to worry, we have machine guns.
