Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Nigeria: Muslims torch houses and spray them with bullets, murdering 18 people

Jan 20, 2014 11:54 pm By Robert Spencer

NigerianjihadisIf these nearly daily jihad mass murders were happening in America or Europe, maybe our blinkered and compromised intelligentsia would wake up to the nature and magnitude of the threat. But they don’t seem to care about what is happening in Nigeria and in so many other places today.

“Nigerian Islamists kill 18, burn houses in northeast,” by Ibrahim Mshelizza for Reuters, January 20 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):

(Reuters) – Islamist militants stormed a village in remote northeast Nigeria on Monday, torching houses and spraying them with bullets in an attack that killed 18 people, witnesses said.

The latest Boko Haram assault, on Sunday night, came hours before Nigeria’s four top military chiefs handed over to fresh commanders in a ceremony on Monday.

President Goodluck Jonathan announced the reshuffle of his entire military leadership last week in a bid to reinvigorate the fight against the insurgents.

“Most of those who survived the attack have fled the village as they do not know if they will be attacked again,” said Bulama Ibrahim, the chief of Alau Ngawo village, which was attacked sometime after 10 p.m. on Sunday. He said he had counted 18 bodies after the shooting and many houses burned.

A former local councilor, Mustapha Galtimare, who was on the scene after the attack, concurred with the numbers of dead.

The village lies in remote northeastern Borno state, the epicenter of the insurgency and relic of Nigeria’s oldest medieval Islamic caliphate, which once prospered from trans-Saharan trade routes passing though the largely Muslim north.

Boko Haram is fighting to re-establish an Islamic kingdom in northern Nigeria, breaking away from the largely Christian south. Its fighters have killed thousands of people since they launched an uprising in mid-2009….

    When BLACK Nigerian Christian families are murdered in their home by jihadists, the Western Leftists are silent.

    When hyper-obese Palestians are put in jail for murdering busloads of civilians, the Leftards are silent.

    What do they approve? JIHAD AGAINST NON-MUSLIMS! The Leftists are supporting the destruction of Christianity, Judaism and freedom.

    Yippee, I can post! Got a bit of a shock earlier today when I checked in (after spending a day or so away) and discovered that the whole place had been redecorated.

    President Goodluck Jonathan has no doubt found that Muslim army officers are being UNDER-VIGILANT about protecting Christians…mere dirty kafirs. The Muslim police officers in northern Nigeria also lack sympathy for the blasphemous polytheist Christians and merely go slow when there is a phone call for help. When the officers arrive on the scene, the bloodbath is complete and the Muslim jihadist perpetrators are long gone, ready to commit another atrocity tomorrow…or in six weeks…just like Mohammed did in the last 10 years of his life…the perfect role model for Muslims.

    “Abdullah ibn Salam” above is either a Mohammedan mobster trying to mess with people’s heads or else an exceedingly crass non-mohammedan Troll trying to mess with people’s heads.

    Like Dumbledore’s Arny, I’m still trying to figure out if “Abdullah ibn Salam” is a real Mohammedan or not.

    His laughing at the slaughter of these victims is appalling, whatever brand of troll he turns out to be. *Ugh*.

    Back in about 1050 AD the Vikings disappeared. The Danes became Christians. Odinism the pagan religion of the Vikings was eliminated. How was it eliminated? Odinists who refused to be converted to Christianity were hunted down and executed. I am sorry but religious freedom came about as a result of Parliament winning the English Civil War against the Royalists in about 1645. Charles I was beheaded in Whitehall.
    I am sorry but this planet will never be safe for religious freedom unless the followers of Islam are hunted down and executed just as the Pagan Odinists were hunted down.
    The laws of evolution sometimes require the extermination of
    competing primatives.
    The laws of evolution are the laws of the universe. Either we
    become civilized or we shall return to the “Dark Ages”
    The more evolved “Aliens” use fancy words like “Spirituality”
    or “Conciousness” instead of calling us humans “the Planet
    of the Apes”

    ”His laughing at the slaughter of these victims is appalling, whatever brand of troll he turns out to be. *Ugh*.”

    Indeed. Someone on the previous thread opined he was being ‘humorous’. Like you, I see nothing remotely amusing about the murder of these poor people, and to laugh about it shows him to be scum, mohammedan or no.
