Jama’atu Ahlus Sunnati Lidda’awati Wal Jihad means the Party of the People of the Sunnah for Dawah and Jihad. Shekau clearly is motivated entirely by Islamic principles, and he thinks shedding Infidel blood is a pleasure, that democracy is incompatible with Islam, and that he and his group must commit murder until Islamic law is established in Nigeria. Where did he get these ideas? What programs do mosques and Islamic schools in the West have in place to teach against this understanding of Islam they ostensibly reject? Why, none. Now, why is that?
“We enjoy shedding blood – Boko Haram threatens IBB, Buhari, Atiku in new video,” by Ameh Comrade Godwin for the Daily Post, February 20 (thanks to Kenneth):
Leader of the Jama’atu Ahlus Sunnati Lidda’awati Wal Jihad, otherwise known as Boko Haram, Abubakar Shekau, has vowed to launch more attacks on Nigeria and Nigerians.
Kingpin of the dreaded sect in a new video made available to newsmen, has threatened to target Nigeria’s refineries and top northern leaders such as IBB, Buhari, Atiku and others.
This is coming barely 73 hours after its members wasted several lives in renewed attacks in Adamawa and Borno States.
He said the state of emergency currently imposed on Adamawa, Borno and Yobe State would not prevent them from carrying out their attacks.
Shekau called on his members in other states, particularly Kano, to attack civilians and government institutions.
The full text of his 28-minute video, delivered in Hausa, reads thus;
“My brethren…you should hold on to your weapons and continue fighting. Let them understand that our work is not confined to Yobe, Borno and Adamawa (states). Make them understand that we are not restricted by emergency rule. They should understand we are under the canopy of Allah.
“This is the beginning. Yes, this is the beginning.
“We Jama’atu Ahlissunnah Lidda’awati Wal Jihad are fighting Christians wherever we meet them and those who believe in democracy, those who pursue Western education wherever we meet them. By Allah, we will kill whoever practices Democracy.
“And you the infidels of Rivers state, Niger (Delta), the town of Jonathan, Shekau is talking to you (sounds of gunshots). Shekau is talking to you, that small boy that has become the nightmare of infidels is talking to you.
“Oh you the leader of the Niger Delta, you will soon see your refinery destroyed. You will in the incoming days see your refinery you are boasting about bombed. Our refinery is Allah.
“Niger-Delta you are in trouble. Jonathan you are in trouble…Banki Moon you are in trouble, Bejamin Natanyahu you are in trouble, Queen Elizabeth, you are in trouble, Babangida, Kwankwaso, Shekarau, Kashim, Buhari, you are in trouble.
“Yahaya Jingir…the cleric of Jos, the advocate of ‘Boko Halal’, right? We are Boko Haram, you are Boko Halal. You will see, bastard.
“We killed Albani of Zaria. We killed Albani of Zaria. Shekau killed Albani of Zaria.Tomorrow he will kill Jingir, the day after tomorrow he will kill Dapchia, the next day he will kill Wapchama, next he will kill Shehu of Borno, Ado Bayero. We rebel against you, between us and you is enmity and rancour until you believe only in Allah.
This is from the Qur’an, in which Abraham says to his pagan relatives: “We have rejected you, and there has arisen, between us and you, enmity and hatred for ever, unless ye believe in Allah and Him alone” (60:4).
“The reason why I will kill you is you are infidels, you follow Democracy…Whoever follows Democracy is an infidel. This is Shekau, this is why I’m in enmity with you.
“Buhari is an infidel, Babangida is an infidel, Atiku is an infidel, late Yar’adua was an infidel, Shehu of Borno is an infidel. You are all infidels. What makes you infidels is Democracy and constitution and western education…I therefore call on brethren in Kano to rise up and replicate the Baga attack.
“All these infidels we are the ones killing them. We enjoy shedding their blood.
“The Koran must be supreme, we must establish Islam in this country; Not only in Borno, we will henceforth destroy any schools wherever we see them”.
john spielman says
well at least he is speaking truthfully, unlike Reza Aslan and other apologists for Islam.
PS: I would like to know how Shekau would feel in Saudi Arabia where he would be a servant to the muslim arabs maybe even a slave!

…Obama you are not in trouble, you are our friend!!!
Keli says
Obama is a Muslim. WTH are you talking about? Obama is killing American’s right now in different ways. He’s destroying our lives and our chance’s to obtain the American dream, he’s now regulating healthcare so we get piss poor care and by passing Obamacare, older Americans or those who are younger yet really ill will now be on the government’s death panel list. Remember, Obama is downsizing America which also includes downsizing the amount of Americans in America. This is all while he continues to increase government and increase regulations ensuring that no businesses will ever want to be based in America. No jobs, no decent healthcare, higher taxes. Yep that’s the sign of a president who loves America and is doing what’s best for us all. IMPEACH OR KILL!
tpellow says
And the extreme violence which Islamic jihadists have historically used against ‘infidels’ in Nigeria, is now being being used in Europe and America.
Henry says
Don’t worry multitudes of peaceful Muslims are going to denounce these rabid comments…….just wait you’ll see………they’ll be along any minute now……..ummmm……ummmm….shucks, guess they’ve got better things to do.

King Dave Newsvine says
Thanks again Robert Spencer for covering Nigeria and Boko Harma. The US press isn’t even mentioning the most active Jihadists in the world, and most effective at murder.
Boko Haram mean ‘Western eduction is sinful’ but killing Christians is not. Messed up.
BTW, Jihad Watch has a fan in Evolutionary Biologist, and atheist Jerry Coyne. You got some honorable mention

Uh, not just yet, but its coming.
‘Course all us knuckle draggin red neck Americans, who have been buying guns till hell won’t have it and hoarding ammo like gold, just might have a bit to say when the local Jihadi comes a callin.
Decendantofacrusader says
I don’t know, but to me at least, this guy does not appear to be one of the brighter light-bulbs in the room. On second thought, however, that could go a long way into explaining this stone-age ‘genius’ warped political views. I think his prophet would be proud.
Bettina says
The one comforting thing in his rant is that, aside from democracy and western education, this blood-thirsty sociopath also targets one or more Islamist groups with a hatred that floweth over religious barriers. That’s one thing we’re counting on.
mortimer says
“Whoever follows Democracy is an infidel. We enjoy shedding their blood.”
So where are all the Muslims protesting this MISUNDERSTANDING?
Don’t Muslims have a duty to fight people who MISUNDERSTAND ISLAM…the religion of peace?
Champ says
death threats abound from heartless, soulless *devout* mohammedans!
Todd says
There are 2 types of armies in the world – those willing to die and those dying to will. The latter is purely a political movement toward subjugation and is not a religion after all, but was started by a whiney arse baby upset initially because the Israelites would not have him.
Julian says
Some can’t understand where these foul murderers get their ideas from – I can, its part of the unchangeable foundation of their ghastly faith. Their satanic bible says “Slay them wherever you find them. Idolatry is more grevous than bloodshed. Drive them out from the places. Fight against them until idolatry is no more and god’s religion reigns supreme. Thus shall the unbelievers be rewarded.”.
This is no islated verse from their satanic bible, its full of exhortations to kill, kill and kill again. Everyone who values freedom should have a go at reading a copy.

BOKO HARAM, the “Mau-Mau” of the 21st Cetury.
Solution is the same, hunt them down like vermin.

Td Sonnier says
What’s the matter with all the none violent Muslims. Why aren’t they standing up are specking against all the hate and violence of jihad? Maybe they wish all infidels were dead too…. Just saying, because why all the silence.

He is an adversary, an enemy for sure, someone to be fought and either vanquished or killed.
But he is also respectable, basically honest, an admirable individual.
The worst thing about Jihad and Counterjihad is that sometimes, you have to fight people, some of whose attributes, you can honestly admire.

What do you “honestly admire” about this murderous thug, eib?
What do you find “respectable” about someone who vows to slaughter anyone who believes in education, democracy, and the rule of law?
If you are impressed because he is not practicing Taqiyya and is being “honest”, consider this: Muslims only practice Taqiyya when they know that Infidels are strong—it is meant to lull them into a false sense of security over the Jihad threat.
But when Muslims believe themselves to be in ascendancy, as here, the *mask comes off*.
Shekau is not being upstanding—he is simply *emboldened*.
dumbledoresarmy says
He’s openly identifying himself as the Enemy and stating his intentions – his horrible intentions – loud and clear.
Good. The more the assorted non-Muslims in Nigeria *hear*, the quicker they will grasp that they are faced with what Jews call milhemeth mitzvah – an obligatory war. That they are facing an enemy that *enjoys* killing, an enemy that *revels* in pain, humiliation, mutilation and destruction of everything good and beautiful. An enemy that creates and builds *nothing*, but rejoices in destruction. And faced with such an enemy, one must *fight*.
Here, for the benefit of my Christian brothers and sisters in Nigeria – in the southern part of Nigeria, *never* a “Muslim” region – who have just been threatened with open mass-murderous Jihad – is some wisdom from our Elder Brothers and Sisters, the Jews: wisdom from Mother Zion.
A Jewish lady blogger who has three sons in the IDF, writing about “things you don’t want your children to know”…but which these days, every non-Muslim parent actually *needs* their kids to know:
http://www.israelnationalnews.com/Blogs/Message.aspx/4922#.Uc_Zlq68seU
he told me what I’ve always known, and something I wish my children didn’t, “they want to destroy us completely – so every day is a milhemet mitzvah,” he concluded.
“An obligatory war is one that is fought because there is no choice – because if you don’t fight, your enemies will.
“The Arabs {that is: the MUSLIMS, who happen mostly to be Arab, in the Middle EAst; elsewhere they are of other ethnicities – dda} will shoot rockets at our cities, sneak into our homes and murder our babies.
“They will fight without honor, without bravery, and sneak off to murder what and when they can.
{which is exactly what Boko Haram – and other Muslims – have been doing in Nigeria, to the Christians – dda}
“An obligatory war is fought against the Samir Kuntars of the world, the Hassan Nassrallahs, and yes, even the ones who claim to be moderate in English, while calling for our destruction in Arabic.
“These are the ones who would kill a father in front of his little girl, and then murder her as well with their bare hands, or murder a three-month-old baby girl, or stab a three-year-old in the heart.
{Muslims have been doing those sorts of horrible things in Africa, also, as everywhere else they felt strong enough to get away with it. Like, in a street in the UK, attacking an unarmed offduty soldier called Lee Rigby – running him over from behind with a car, then attacking his helpless body with machetes…and the Muslims who did *that* were traitors, Nigerians of Christian background who defiled their ancestry and blasphemed the faith in which they had been baptised, by joining Islam, the Religion of Murder and Hate – dda}
“An obligatory war is one that is fought against **an enemy that does not want peace and will not let you live in peace, no matter what you do, no matter what you give.**
{That Enemy, faced by the Jews of Israel, is the same Enemy as is faced by the Christians and animists of Nigeria or Kenya or Central African Republic or Tanzania or Uganda; the same Enemy faced by the non-Muslims of Europe, the Russian Federation, Philippines, Burma, Thailand…dda}.
“Though the Torah speaks of absolving a man in his first year of marriage from going to war, it also explains that in a milhemet mitzvah, even the groom should leave his wedding canopy (chuppah). This is what Aharon Karov did in the Gulf War, when he was seriously wounded. This is what others did – the soldier who missed his son’s circumcision ceremony; fathers whose sons and daughters were born while they were in Gaza.
Yes, Israel [and ever other non-Muslim on *earth*! – dda] is involved in a daily war that is obligatory and unavoidable. And yes, Shmulik is right, it is a daily fight, a daily war that obligates us to defend ourselves…”.

What gives?
I tried making a comment.
It wouldn’t go through.
Then I tried making it again, and I got told I had already made it; but it isn’t visible in the thread.
ARRRRGH.

Then let all of those who have known the soldiers life dedicate ourselves, with every skill and craft of war that we may possess, to the destruction of our enemy, the enemy of freedom, the enemy of love, the enemy of compassion.
Yea, let us shoulder this burden with gladness and joy, and let us rejoice in HIS destruction!
Deus Vult!

Nope.
The worst thing is that you have people supposedly on your side, who completely fail to understand the nature of the enemy.

The glitches on JW could be down to islam0fascists hacking this website. I’m sure the cyber-attacks on JW, BNI and FPM are never-ending. Because free speech and islam don’t mix, never have and never will.

“And when the sacred months have passed, then kill the polytheists wherever you find them and capture them and besiege them and sit in wait for them at every place of ambush.”

By Allah, we will kill whoever practices Democracy.

Because under Islam, those who wield power seize it in bloody warfare. *That* is Islamic “governance”.
And it enshrines brutality and ignorance and murders anyone who disagrees with this hellish vision.
