“Robert Spencer incarnates intellectual courage when, all over the world, governments, intellectuals, churches, universities and media crawl under a hegemonic Universal Caliphate’s New Order. His achievement in the battle for the survival of free speech and dignity of man will remain as a fundamental monument to the love of, and the self-sacrifice for, liberty.”

Jihadis run amok,targetting Nigerian christians in other areas too:
"Meanwhile, violence erupted again in Yobe State as gunmen suspected to be members of the Boko Haram sect on motorcycles attacked a beer parlour at Ngalda in Fika Local Council, killed the proprietor (names withheld) and injured six others at about 8.00 p.m. at the weekend.
According to a resident of Ngalda in Yobe State, Yohanna Musa, who spoke in a telephone chat yesterday, the gunmen took the proprietor of the beer parlour and customers by surprise when three suspects on two motorcycles stormed the building and opened fire at the people seated at various tables taking their drinks.
“The people had to run for safety, while many of them sustained various degrees of injuries in the stampede when several shots were fired at them last night,” Musa said, adding that the assailants, who came on two unmarked motorbikes, afterwards fled towards Nafada town in Gombe State on the Potiskum-Gombe road at 8.35 p.m.
Musa further disclosed that the “way and manner” the suspects attacked and killed the proprietor were similar to the Boko Haram, who had been attacking and killing people at mosques, churches, markets, houses and shops in the state. He said that Fika town, which is about 15 kilometres from Ngalda, was attacked and a church, police station and beer parlour burnt, killing five people, including two policemen at their duty posts.
Incidentally, violence in Borno continued to erupt and spread to the neighbouring Adamawa State as gunmen also suspected as Boko Haram members attacked the palace of the District Head of Gulak, Dr. Sa’ad Danbram, and killed him by slitting his throat before his wives and children.
Gulak is 202 kilometres south of Maiduguri, the Borno State capital, and an epicentre of activities of the Islamist sect. An eyewitness and resident of Gulak, Isa Ibrahim, also said that the gunmen came on motorcycles at midnight and demanded the presence of the district head, before bursting into his room, tied his hands to the back and slit his throat in the glare of family members.
Certifying their victim dead, they fled through the Maiduguri-Mubi Road at 1.35 a.m., while body of the slain was buried in the afternoon."
