Even as Islamic jihadists murder still more people, Muslim leaders in Nigeria have the audacity to complain about the plight of Muslims and demand special accommodations from President Goodluck Jonathan. The shamelessness with which they maintain the victimhood narrative, even as their coreligionists are murdering people wholesale in accord with texts and teachings of their religion, is breathtaking to behold.
“Nigeria bus bombing: Blasts at bus station kill 71,” from AFP, April 14
Twin blasts at a bus station packed with morning commuters on the outskirts of Nigeria’s capital killed dozens of people on Monday, in what appeared to be the latest attack by Boko Haram Islamists.
The explosions rocked the Nyanya station roughly three miles south of Abuja at 6:45 am (0545 GMT) and destroyed some 30 vehicles, mostly large passenger buses.
The head of search and rescue operations at the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA), Charles Otegbade, said one of the blasts “emanated from a vehicle” within the station but the precise nature of the explosion was not immediately clear.
No group has yet claimed the apparent attack, but suspicion is likely to fall on Boko Haram, an insurgent group blamed for killing thousands across northern and central Nigeria since 2009.
The Islamists have attacked Nigeria’s capital in the past, most prominently in a 2011 car bombing at the UN headquarters in the city that killed at least 26 people.
“Dozens of people were killed in the bomb blasts in Nyanya bus park this morning,” NEMA spokesman Manzo Ezekiel told AFP, adding that witnesses reported hearing two separate explosions.
The explosions left a hole roughly four feet deep and scattered personal items as well as human flesh across the compound, an AFP reporter and witnesses said.
“I saw bodies taken away in open trucks,” said witness Yakubu Mohammed. “It is difficult to count them because the bodies were burnt and in pieces.”
A second witness, Suleiman Aminu, said he believed the initial blast came from a minibus parked near larger commuter vehicles, and that commuters who had queued up to board were the likely target.
Nyanya is a densely populated suburb of Abuja, filled with government and civil society workers who cannot afford the city’s exorbitant rents.
Boko Haram violence has cost more than 1,500 lives already this year, but most of the unrest has affected villages in the remote northeast.
The military in May of last year launched a massive offensive to crush the Islamist uprising and has described Boko Haram as being in disarray and on the defensive.
A major attack in the capital, just a few kilometres from the seat of government, will likely cast further doubt on the success of that campaign.
Bus parks have been among Boko Haram’s most favoured targets, including multiple, coordinated bombings at a terminal in the northern city of Kano last year that killed more than 40 people….
Boko Haram’s leader, Abubakar Shekau, has in recent video messages vowed to widen his insurgency outside the group’s northeastern stronghold.

Forget the daily assassinations of Christian students and worshipers! The real victims are the jihadists who are forced to go to school and read modern books.
Boko HARAM! Books are taboo!
Tamaskan, tatamakan. (Play the victim; you will win.)
Gary Fouse says
Back in the 90s, DEA had some sort of an African regional conference. All the cops from all the African nations had one thing in common. They all complained about the Nigerians and their corruption.
Walter Sieruk says
That Boko Haram commit this murderous affront does not change the facts that other like minded Islamic terror entities also commit many other bloodly and deadly Islamic atrocities. Be they Boko Haram, al Shabab, Ansar al Islam, al Qaeda, Hezbollah, Hamas, P.I.J., etc. All these Islamic terror groups engage in the heinous violence and killing of the militant jihadism of Islam, Sura 9:11. 47:4. With this stated the Wisdom of the teaching of Jesus may very well apply to this subject.For Jesus taught “Ye do know them by their fruits. Do men gather gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thisles ? Even so every good tree bringth forth good fruit but a corrupt tree bringth forth evil fruit. A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.” After saying this Jesus told them what he told them when He stated By their fruits ye shall know them.” Matthew 7:16,17,18,20. [K.J.V.]
In conclusion, Islam is a corrupt tree and also a false religion, Proverbs 14:12. John 3:16,16,36. 14:6. First John 2:22,23.

The western world hardly knows who Boko Haram is, but they are the most violent Islamic militants on Earth. They make the Taliban look like boy scouts. Boko Haram has now breached the Capital without resistance. There are endless recruits ready to join Boko Haram. They are winning in Nigeria. There is no one there to stop them
The only question is how many will they kill before Northern Nigeria becomes its own Islamic state
Sue Parris says
The United States Federal Government and every other legitimate government of the world is complicit in Islamist mass murder on a weekly if not daily basis. What part of the Geneva Convention states we should sit on our collective government asses while the world is awash in blood shed by Islamo-murderers of the Religion of Peace.
Islamophobia my ass–Islamomurdererphobia is a more appropriate word as long as we are allowed to make up words like the Muslim Brotherhood is.
One would think with the 57-member Organization of Islamic Cooperation voting as a block in the United Nations that they would be interested in policing genocide created by their citizens in the name of their religion. Do not give me that tired old pap that Islamo-murderers are not controllable. By the “inability” of the governments of the Islamic world to police their own, they are tacitly consenting to and condoning Islamo-murder around the globe.
As of today, Monday, 14 Apr 2014 Islamomurderers have carried out 22781 deadly terror attacks; and I am not sure this most recent attack has been counted.
The United Nation as it stands today is a joke and an old, toothless tiger way past being productive for the pride. It is time for the United States of America to say thank you but no thank you to the United Nations by withdrawing from that body of jesters and taking back New York City real estate to put it to better use. The longer we allow this Islamomurderers-supporting group to remain on our soil the longer we too are guilty of genocide. The law of our land states that if you are an accessory to the crime before or after the fact, you are as guilty as the primary offender.
And the left rails about our military being war criminals–what a joke!! I have plenty of mirrors I can supply to politicians on either side of the political spectrum who choose to support Islamo-murderers with their silence.
Folks, we must do something because our government has obviously contracted paralyzing polio on this issue and is sustained on an iron lung.
I do not believe this medically induced muteness can be cured by the Affordable Health Care Act.
It is going to take voting in healthier politicians who are willing to vocalize the concerns of American Christians, Jews, Pagans, Wiccans, Buddists, Sikhs, Agnostics, Atheists, Satanists and others over these heinous and horrific 7th Century religious practices. Might it just be possible that in the global 21st Century, the arrested development of the Religion of Peace makes it incompatible with all but its own? Perhaps it IS time to throw up our multicultural hands in defeat and admit that we, as Americans, along with the majority of the world cannot assimilate into this culture regardless of the country in which they or we live.
It is time for a divorce.
Islamists get to keep their oil-rich and not so oil-rich nations to rule by the mores of whatever century they wish, the misnomer term islamophobic, and lastly but certainly not leastly–child custody of all the followers of the Prophet Mohammad, may peace be upon him.
The remainder of the world gets to die from old age as opposed to murder by the sword of Islam.
Regardless of our individual beliefs or nonbeliefs in a higher power, the citizens of this nation have proven with their blood at Valley Forge, Gettysburg, the Somme, Verdun, Chosin, the Tet Offensive, Afghanistan, and Iraq that as a nation we believe in the value of human life.

” …Muslim leaders in Nigeria have the audacity to complain about the plight of Muslims and demand special accommodations from President Goodluck Jonathan.” I don’t know about the rest of you, but this particular problem is rather frightening. By the time people get over being brainwashed on the subject of jihad (if ever) it will be to late. These days, Americans and people in other places around the world are to busy trying to “help” the world by not offending Muslims when what they really need to do is go out and get educated on what’s happening in places like Nigeria or Malaysia.

I see that last November Obama finally listed Boko Haram as a terrorist organization. Still no word about anti-Christian violence.

Curious Teenager says
Oh no of course not, because Christians aren’t important, its these Muslims that we should feel sorry for and give them support to “create peace” within their religion. Their religion isn’t peaceful, the Qur’an tells them to kill all nonbelievers. Yeah…so peaceful. People frustrate me.

“Boko Haram’s leader, Abubakar Shekau, has in recent video messages…”
Video messages? Western tech? Haram tech?
Any way you look at these barbarians, their hypocrisy is always glaring.
Saleem Smith says
Islamic jihadists murder 71 in Nigeria.
That is nothing.
The true believing followers of Mohammedanism have much more death in store for us unbelieving infidels. Submission to Islamic theology and law is their motto and they thoroughly enjoy killing for it.
Rolf Wittwer says
I never ever heard about muslim massprotests against islamic terror.
Only about masskillings.
9/11 was even applauded.
It seems, that violence is the unilateral language of Islam.
And this is 2014.
My God!
Jay Boo says
I just heard a BBC (cover-up) take on this (via NPR).
It was absolutely shamelessly disgusting beyond words.
Larry A. Singleton says
I wonder how many people miss South African Apartheid? The Africa today makes SAA look like a group hug.
It reminds me of what the Liberals have done to our schools. (Remember the three foot paddle with the holes in it?) I’m trying to remember this movie I watched. “Lean On Me”? I’m not sure. The beginning of the movie was a nice, quiet, orderly, clean school. The Liberals forced out a teacher they thought was too much of a hard ass. The next scene was a graffiti infested hallway, chaos was reigning, music screaming, kids attacking teachers and students. drug dealing. And this was just one pan up the hallway.
That’s Africa after South Africa Apartheid.
Go to Amazon and read the Preface and Introduction to The War Against Boys by Sommers and Taken Into Custody by Baskerville. You don’t even have to read the books. A couple of pages might be missing because of copyright bullshit, but you’ll get the picture.
Peer Zulqarnain Shah says
MTOs Muslim Terrorist Organizations mostly derived inspiration from Salfi Scholars like Syed Qatub but the other Islamic School of thought have different opinion about Jihad. Shia and Suuni(Not Slafi/Wahabi) believes that only state can start a Jihad when needed but individual and private political motivated groups cant start Jihad against any state or group. Neither Islam nor Christianity, Judaism, Buddha, Hinduism etc does not preach violence. All global religions are great advocate of peace, love for humanity and equality. The acts of Muslims or Christianity emperors are not preaching of the great religion.

What a load of Taqiyya. By “state”, Peer Zulqarnain Shah likely means the Caliphate.
But the implication that most Muslims reject any Jihad not declared by the Caliphate is false—only “offensive” Jihad need be declared by the Caliph, and the Islamic concept of “defensive” Jihad is so loose that it covers virtually any act of Jihad terror, no matter how unprovoked.
And even is this Taqiyya artist were telling the truth, what difference would it make? There have been 22,781 Jihad terror attacks just since 9/11, most with multiple fatalities.
Are we supposed to consider this no big deal just because these attacks are (supposedly) considered Haram by non-Salafists? This is absurd.

More crap. Islam *does* preach violence against the Infidel—the Qur’an, Hadith, and Sira are full of little else.
This Mohammedan appears to believe that we know nothing about Islam. So sorry—most of the Kuffar here are *quite* well informed. He’ll have to brush up on his Taqiyya skills…

Oh my gosh thank you! At school I talk to my teacher and fellow classmates and no one understands this! My teacher told me the Qur’an is a peaceful book. I feel almost at peace when I come on here because I know people get it. Thank you.

Just hang in there, mate. Work hard and get good grades.
A good book to look up, for hints on how to try to communicate with people on this subject, is “Getting Through”; if you can, buy it via the “Citizen Warrior” website (have you checked that one out)?
See whether you can persuade your fellow teens to look up Geert Wilder’s “Fitna” and Ayaan Hirsi Ali’s “Submission” (if you scratch about on the internet you should be able to find them and download them, eventually). Try to pique their curiosity. Tell them that there isn’t a cinema in the western world brave enough to hold a public screening of either of those two short films; that there isn’t a TV station anywhere in the world, so far as I know, that is brave enough to broadcast them on air. So…are *they* (your friends) brave enough to peek at these “hot potato” films? Tell them that these really are “underground”, samizdat literature. Truthtelling, dissident stuff.
The situation for most of us who have “woken up”, right now, is not unlike the situation that Harry Potter and Dumbledore find themselves in, in the fifth volume of the series – “Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix”. *They* know that Voldemort is back and gathering strength and recruits; but when they try to issue the warning, no-one wants to believe them, and many people actually attack them.
Curious Teenager says
Harry Potter helps me figure out a lot of things in life, actually. Thanks again for your helpful advice!

I still remember the emails I used to get from rich Nigerians who needed my bank account information in order to move their Nigerian assets out of the country for a large fee. I’m not getting any emails like that anymore, so I guess they’ve already moved their assets or asses out of Nigeria.

Nigeria, once one of the wealthiest states in Africa, is about to become another Muslim-caused financial and human disaster. When will the world rise up against Islam? The separation of church and state are required if democracy and freedom of the individual are to be recognized as the only way for people to co-exist peacefully on this planet. Islam is mired in the 8th century mindset of a man who believed he was God’s last prophet. It’s terrifying to know that followers of Islam, moderate or otherwise, still believe myths concerning Mohammad, the Koran and the hadith should be taught as truth throughout the modern world. Nigeria will be a victim of a people’s resignation to Mohammad’s insanity, unless democracy-minded individuals in that once- healthy state unite over and triumph against the teachings of a liar and a false prophet.
