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

Nigeria: Hundreds of Islamic jihadists attack barracks, university, civil servants’ living area

Mar 14, 2014 5:34 pm By Robert Spencer

maiduguriThe world will take little notice, however, until non-Muslims begin to fight back on a large scale. Their beginning to fight back is already a focus of the full BBC report excerpted here, and no doubt if this continues, we will soon hear about “atrocities” committed against Boko Haram, and about how it is being subjected to “ethnic cleansing” in northern Nigeria — for the moral inversion of the mainstream media is monstrous, unrelenting, and universal.

“Nigeria Boko Haram: ‘Hundreds’ attack Maiduguri,” from the BBC, March 14:

Hundreds of militants have staged a multi-pronged attack on the Nigerian city of Maiduguri, witnesses say.

On entering the city, the attackers split into smaller groups – heading for the barracks, the university and an area where civil servants live.

The assault on the barracks was an attempt by the attackers to free colleagues held there, a military spokesman said.

Militants suspected to be from Boko Haram have killed 500 people this year….

Human Rights Watch says in a report that the attacks by Boko Haram are having a devastating impact on the population of north-eastern Nigeria.

Quoting United Nations figures, it says some 300,000 people have fled their homes over the past year.

“Even if the government can’t stop the attacks, at the very least, it can meaningfully assist the people who have been most devastated by them,” says HRW’s Africa director Daniel Bekele.

Boko Haram was founded in Maiduguri in 2009. It wants northern Nigeria to become an Islamic state.

    What we are seeing here is Nigeria being culturally enriched by the followers of Islam.
    Anyone who sees this in a negative light is obviously a racist/hater.

        Don’t worry, it should be obvious to anyone with a working brain. On the other hand, islamic apologists would undoubtedly accuse you of trying to link terrorism and islam, call you a filthy jew, say their feeling were hurt by your islamophobic remark and ask for your head on a plate – literally, otherwise it’s religious intolerance. After all, according to the islamic cult… erm, “religion“, those who insult islam (and the concept of “insult” is used in a very, very, very broad sense there) are to be out to death.

          islam isnt a religion . but this really needs to open up ppls eyes to islam and why it needs to be stopped. they don’t care about anything other then their needs, might as well say islam is a cult to self indulge in ones own selfish desires without consequences as long as it follows the guidelines. theres 3 stages to islam and its a book on how to overthrow and establish their own government in other areas politically, should it fail they can claim to renounce islam …and are commanded to preach peace and tolerance to others to make them look good and look like they are the ones being persecuted . that would be stage 1, stealth. stage 2, defensive jihad, when there are enough muslims and resources to def against attacks, persecutions and so on, and almost everything is attack on them if it isnt positive to it, stage 3 offensive jihad, when they establish the majority politically in a area they are commanded to fight none muslims/believers. and kill anyone who isnt,… there isn’t any talking to these people and they all need to be stopped.

      What drugs are you on? Nothing Islam does is enriching anything but death, oppression and destruction. We have brains not like your followers moron.

      muslims are like locusts feeding on the blood of non muslims. the only good muslim is a dead muslim, these cultists all obey the same evil book and the so called”good ones” would turn on you rather than help you, be you friend or family. shedding blood is thier entertainment . thier kids are next years terrorists. civil war is needed in all non muslim countries as they will never stop until they have control of the world. these evil sinners breed 9 times faster than normal people to build up thier numbers. the next war will be a holy war even though most look upon islam as a cult. the nazis started out as a radical party . the muslims are at the door.

      Hi Bettina,
      There is a direct (log-in to comment) link in the upper right side of page
      It is written in small letters but I noticed it gets cut off screen at higher zoom levels on my browser and with no horizontal scroll bar.

      I have not been able to post as much or read up on postings lately myself but it is due to added school and work obligations. I have not had any problems logging in though.

      Good luck

    The other day I spoke to a Nigerian friend of mine. He confirmed that in Nigeria the Muslims always commit atrocities, but he also said the Christians have to strike back. I hope they will. We have the to talk again anyway, the conversation was too short, as I had to go.

    But it’s the same old story, Muslims are violent scum, wherever you go on this planet.

    The Western countries must step up their game. Muslims have declared general jihad around the world. It is clear that Muslims will do nothing to stop the jihad. They agree with it…except if their dictatorship is threatened as in the case of the Saudi kingdom. The mullahs are responsible. Their silence is approval. One million Muslim clergy are guilty of complicity in jihad against innocent populations.

    We should resent them for doing nothing to stop it. The mullahs are responsible.

      mortimer ,
      I am beginning to suspect that the MSM only puts all the blame on al Qaeda so it can avoid admitting that:

      1 Islam is a terrorist organization
      2 Sharia is a hate crime
      3 the Quran is an Islamic murderer’s manifesto

      • Salah says

        Mar 14, 2014 at 11:45 pm

        Don’t forget that al-Qaeda itself is an offshoot of the Muslim Brotherhood, you know, the ones in the White House!!!

          —

          Very true Salah
          And the Muslim Brotherhood is an offshoot of (true Islam) not the watered down Islam that the White House is trying to pour into our glasses.

    I’m a Protestant myself, but to me it seems that it is Catholics, who praise death and sorrow – see their Rosary http://www.rosary-center.org/sorrow.htm

    This is as far from true human love as you can get. The same holds true for their celibate priests, monks and nuns. They worship death, not Muslims!

    • Buraq says

      @ the Muslim calling himself Joe Myers

      I’m an atheist myself, but I know that Catholics do not praise death. Christ’s ‘passion’ is reflected on by countless Christians as a reminder of how God allowed his only begotten Son to be killed so that we could have everlasting life – if we believe in Him.
      As for Muslims not being interested in death, I have a question. Why do millions of them seek death through martyrdom? Islam says it guarantees them a place in Islam’s bordello in the sky. Izzat true?

      You’re a wire-wigged, baggy-trousered, red-nosed clown, by the way!

      We all know you are a muslim DISGUISING to be a protestant christian. Who are you are trying to fool? We also know you muslims use Taqiyah to deceive non muslimsof your true intentions. The only solution is a worldwide war against muslims.

      I’m a Catholic and you are not. You are not Protestant, Christian or anything of the like as is so obvious from your ludicrous post. If you are going to comment on a subject please have the decency to acquaint yourself with the most basic of information in it’s regard lest you you yourself confirm what is suspected concerning your good self.
