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

Nigeria: Muslim group murders at least 39 people in jihad attack on village

Mar 2, 2014 3:05 pm By Robert Spencer

boko-haramThis is a different attack from the one I reported on yesterday evening. Clearly the jihadists in Nigeria can now operate with absolute impunity, and the government can’t do anything to stop them. Will the next step be out-and-out civil war, or will all of Nigeria descend into the darkness of Sharia?

“Nigeria violence: Many die as militants destroy village,” from the BBC, March 2 (thanks to King Dave):

Suspected militants have shot dead at least 39 people in an attack on a village in north-eastern Nigeria.

The attackers – believed to be from the Boko Haram group – destroyed the entire village of Mainok, about 50km (30 miles) west of the city of Maiduguri.

The incident took place late on Saturday, hours after two bomb blasts killed at least 50 people in Maiduguri.

Boko Haram has been conducting a four-year violent campaign to demand Islamic rule in northern Nigeria.

The morning after the latest attack, bodies were lying in front of the mosque waiting to be buried and buildings in Mainok were still on fire, the BBC’s Will Ross reports from Lagos.

An eyewitness described how the attack unfolded: “They started shooting everywhere, they started burning all the houses in the village.

“I don’t think that there is any house that is standing in the village and they have killed at least 39 people in the village.

“These people have guns – AK47, RPGs and so on and so forth, they can come and attack anybody and kill, including women and children, they kill everybody that can see them.”

Earlier two bombs exploded in a densely populated area of Maiduguri – a city which Boko Haram has often targeted.

The first bomb was concealed inside a truck full of wood. As people tried to rescue victims the second explosion occurred.

At the time many people were crowded in a video hall in the area watching football.

There was also a wedding nearby and many of the dead were children.

President Goodluck Jonathan declared a state of emergency in Adamawa, Yobe and Borno states last year in an attempt to curb the insurgency.

His critics say the move has been ineffective. Hardly a day goes by without reports of another deadly attack by militants, our correspondent says.

    The extreme, heinous and murderous violence of this and other likeminded Islamic terror groups that engage in the bloodly killing of the militant jihadism of Islam, Sura 9:111,112. 47 :4., does bring to mind the wisdom in the book THE AGE OF REASON by Thomas Paine which reads “Any system of religion that has anything in it that shocks the mind of a child, cannot be a true system.”

    It’s much easier said than done but I’m afraid that if nobody can protect them, then they’re going to have to find ways of protecting themselves. They’re going to have to learn hit and run tactics, the art of making booby traps and carrying out ambushes, in effect fight like the Vietcong and the World War II partisan units. The wartime Maquis in France started from nothing and had a motto “Each rifle must bring in at least another rifle every week”. Either that or remain easy prey.

    It’s time to be concerned America. Enough is enough. This is the main issue of the 21st Century. Over 500,000+ Muslim refugees mainly from Somalia under the refugee immigrant resettlement program are being relocated throughout America. Did you vote for that? No one voted for this! Awareness is the issue folks, put the word out. Most families are simply far too busy just trying to survive, working two jobs, raising their children and do not have a clue what is taking place. Our mainstream news will not inform you due to political correctness. I have done the research for you. First, Google “theprojectmuslimbrotherhood” this is the doctrine to destroy America from within, and guess what they are succeeding. One only has to look at England, Belgium, France, Germany, Russia, and the rest of Europe to understand the immigration issue. It is sad, what Paris has become, have you been there lately? Multiculturalism is literally destroying Europe. There are now over 700 “Islamic no go Muslim Zones” within England, France and Germany. Islam is a political ideology; it is the antithesis of a free society. We are now approaching over 2400 mosques in America, along with 2.7 million Muslims here in the USA. That number is supposed to double in the next decade. Take a look at Dearborn, Michigan (they now have Muslim zones, where the police are afraid to enter. The Muslim immigration and mosques continue with Maine, Tennessee, Minnesota, New York, Indiana, S. Dakota, California and Colorado taking in most of the immigrants so far, your state could be next. I have no issue with the peaceful Muslim that wants to integrate into our culture and follow our laws. The problem lies in that they want to dominate and force Islam and Sharia law upon us all. Why should America be forced into adapting to their culture? This is our America; we should not have to change one iota to accommodate them. “When good men and woman are quiet, evil always wins”. Forget about be labeled a racist, or being politically correct. The time has come to speak up and take a stand. Again for the facts and truth just Google “theprojectmuslimbrotherhood” a real eye opener. They are making inroads into our schools, universities, cities and towns and even our own government. They want Sharia law and even our textbooks changed to put a more favorable light on Islam. When Jews, Christians, Priests, Infidels are being murdered and Churches are being burned down and recently 59 students locked up in a school room, the building was set fire allowing no one to escape and anyone trying to escape was slaughtered by Islamic militants, where is the condemnation from the nearly 3 million Muslims that are here? For the majority of them there is total silence and none condemn the atrocities that continue to go on in Europe. That alone speaks volumes on their real intent. Europe is losing the battle all ready and America will be next. What you do today will affect your children and grandchildren and future generations of America yet unborn. Stand up and be counted to defeat this real threat upon America. Voice your opinion, let your congressmen, senators, and school boards, and know how you feel on the issue. Forget about being labeled and do what is right for America. We need a permanent solution, time is running out. Let us not become the next Europe. Do it for your children and grandchildren future folks. Thank you.

      “When good men and woman are quiet, evil always wins…The time has come to speak up and take a stand.”

      Egypt: When good men and woman say: Enough is Enough, THEY WIN.

    Just another Muslim inter-faith outreach program gone awry, and misunderstood by the unbelievers.

    Wasn’t it Obama who warned Nigeria to respect Boko Haram’s human rights?
