Nigeria: Islamic jihadists murder two card players

There Is No Fun In Islam* Update from Nigeria: "Nigerian 'Islamists' fire at card players, kill two: source," from AFP, June 19 (thanks to Ken):

KANO, Nigeria — Suspected members of a radical Islamist sect which bombed Nigerian police headquarters on Sunday opened fire on a crowd of card players killing two in a northern city, a senior military officer said.

Two motorcycle-riding gunmen suspected of being members of Boko Haram pumped shots into a crowd of people playing cards outside a house in the city of Maiduguri and disappeared into alleyways, said the officer who did not want to be named.

"The group of men were playing cards under a tree outside a house when two men on a motorcycle believed to be Boko Haram members opened fire on them, killing two people and seriously injuring five others," the officer told AFP.

"The attack is a typical Boko Haram (shoot-and-run) style," the military officer said....

* The Ayatollah Khomeini said that.

Presumably the card players were unarmed and unable to defend themselves.

senseless violence is an Islamic religious ritual.

If Allah had wanted anyone to have fun he would have told them so. I can't believe these people actually wanted to enjoy themselves without Allah's blessing.
What were they thinking?

Now really, why wouldn't anyone want to live under such a system? Or better, why would anyone want such a system?

This is what we can expect under Islam. The religion of peace but only when you obey them. If Islam is not the embodiment of evil I don't know what is.
