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

Nigeria: Islamic jihadists murder at least 60 in jihad attack on villages

Apr 13, 2014 8:25 pm By Robert Spencer

336314_Boko-Haram“The attackers invaded the communities early in the morning on motorbikes while residents were still asleep. They set ablaze houses and shot residents who tried to escape from the fire.” Barbaric and savage jihad murders of this kind by the Party of the People of the Sunnah for Dawah and Jihad, which is Boko Haram’s real name, are almost a daily occurrence now. Clearly the Nigerian government cannot control these jihadists, and is rapidly losing any control it does have. If the victims were Muslims and the perpetrators non-Muslims, the world would act. But non-Muslims in Nigeria may be out of luck.

“At least 60 people killed by Boko Haram in northern Nigeria,” from Sapa, April 13 (thanks to Kenneth):

KANO – At least 60 people were killed and several others injured on Sunday by suspected members of Islamist extremist sect Boko Haram in northern Nigeria, officials said.

Insurgents attacked the towns of Anchaka and Bama in Borno state, according to Bama council chair Alhaji Baba Shehu.

“The attackers invaded the communities early in the morning on motorbikes while residents were still asleep. They set ablaze houses and shot residents who tried to escape from the fire,” said Shehu. “About 60 persons were killed, with several others were injured,” the council chair added.

Earlier this week, more than 100 people had been killed during attacks on Borno state capital Maiduguri.

Borno is one of three northern states that Nigeria’s government placed under a state of emergency in May to curb violent attacks by Boko Haram.

Boko Haram, which means “Western education is sinful,” has been active in the Muslim north of the West African country, carrying out attacks against government institutions and civilians. Since 2009, more than 6,000 people have been killed in the violence.

    THANK YOU, MR. LLOYD !!!

    Comments with testicular fortitude are my favorites …

    Especially remarks that mention troops who don’t take sh*t from 7th Century wannabe emulators of homicidal Muhammad.

    In case you are new or relatively so to Robert Spencer’s superb blog here, from time to time I remind readers of my 2nd Amendment Democrat identity.

    We members (in the currently Obama Leftist-hijacked party of WWII never-surrender fighters) who live in America’s non-urban areas — outside of cities — are actually VERY strongly arms-bearing shooters in both hunting sports & personal defense aspects.

    You perhaps are too young to have seen the magnificent classic film “Casablanca” — but there is a great line in it, spoken by lead character ex-patriot Rick Blaine to German officer Heinrich Strasse, during a conversation about Nazis intending to reach America, continuing their aggression.

    Rick Blaine says “Well, Major, there are certain parts of New York that I wouldn’t advise you to try to invade.”

    Let’s you and I broaden the warning: “Well, Muslim jihadists, there are areas of the United States that will beat the living daylights and shred you into pieces if you screw around with us.”

    Those comprise ALL 50 states, despite what Ibrahim Hooper and his fellow traitors at CAIR believe.

      “Rules of engagement” are what define “right from wrong”.
      “Savages” have no rules & that’s what makes them such pathetic murdering bandits.
      Save your troops as death in battle does not scare those blinded by demons it just gives them more reason to cry “victim”.
      Nigeria , Niger & Chad need to sort this out themselves & fast.
      Boko haram believe they are fighting for a religion & fighting against the “west”.
      Another player will soon enter this realm of islam vs the world and guns and troops will be like throwing peas at canons.

    We ex-Muslims know that all devout Muslims want the same thing.

    They want to slavishly obey Mohammed’s every word and worship “Allah”.

    They want to live by and enforce the laws clearly spelled out by this “Islamic god” in Islam’s canonical texts (the Quran, hadith and sira).

    Islamic theology is a complete fraud (including instruction on how to wipe your ass and rape the kafir women) and Sharia is the fulfillment of Islamic doctrine.

    You what Sharia and Islam?

    Go live in Saudi Arabia where Islam is taken seriously and fill you boots with it.

    >>>>>

    The Perfect Justice of Sharia

    The legal system of Saudi Arabia is based on Sharia, Islamic law derived from the Qu’ran and the Sunnah (the traditions) of the Islamic prophet Muhammad. Criminal law punishments in Saudi Arabia include public beheading, stoning, amputation and lashing. Serious criminal offences include not only internationally recognized crimes but also apostasy, adultery, witchcraft and sorcery.

    Criminal law in Saudi Arabia is governed by Sharia and comprises three categories: hudud (fixed Quranic punishments for specific crimes), Qisas (eye-for-an-eye retaliatory punishments), and Tazir, a general category. Hudud crimes are the most serious and include theft, robbery, blasphemy, apostasy, adultery, sodomy and fornication.

    Homosexual acts are punishable by flogging, imprisonment or death. Lashings are a common form of punishment and are often imposed for offences against religion and public morality such as drinking alcohol and neglect of prayer and fasting obligations.

    Polygamy is permitted for men but is limited to four wives at any one time. There is evidence that its practice has increased, particularly among the educated Hejazi elite, as a result of oil wealth. The government has promoted polygamy as part of a return to “Islamic values” program. In 2001, the Grand Mufti (the highest religious authority) issued a fatwa, or opinion, calling upon Saudi women to accept polygamy as part of the Islamic package and declaring that polygamy was necessary “to fight against…the growing epidemic of spinsterhood”. There is no minimum age for marriage in Saudi Arabia and the Grand Mufti reportedly said in 2009 that girls of the age of 10 or 12 were marriageable.

    Men have a unilateral right to divorce their wives (talaq) without needing any legal justification. The divorce is effective immediately. The husband’s obligation is then to provide financial support for the divorced wife for a period of four months and ten days. A woman can only obtain a divorce with the consent of her husband or judicially if her husband has harmed her. In practice, it is very difficult for a Saudi woman to obtain a judicial divorce. The right for men to marry up to four wives, combined with their ability to divorce a wife at anytime without cause, can translate to unlimited polygamy.

    Human rights issues and failings in the rule of law in Saudi Arabia have attracted strong criticism. These include criminal law punishments that are considered as cruel, as well as the position of women, religious discrimination, the lack of religious freedom and the activities of the Saudi Mutaween.

    The U.S. State department considers that “discrimination against women is a significant problem” in Saudi Arabia and that women have few political or social rights. After her 2008 visit, the UN special rapporteur on violence against women noted the lack of women’s autonomy and the absence of a law criminalizing violence against women (See Qur’an, 004.034).

    Every adult woman has to have a close male relative as her “guardian”. As a result, Human Rights organizations have described the position of Saudi women as no different to being a minor, with little authority over their own lives. The guardian is entitled to make a number of critical decisions on a woman’s behalf. These include giving approval for the woman to travel, to hold some types of business licenses, to study at a university or college and to work if the type of business is not “deemed appropriate for a woman.” Even where a guardian’s approval is not legally required, some officials will still ask for it. Women also face discrimination in the courts, where the testimony of one man equals that of two women, and in family and inheritance law (See Qur’an, 002.282).

    There is no legal protection of freedom of speech and Saudis are prohibited from publicly criticizing Islam. In 2010, the U.S. State Department stated that in Saudi Arabia “freedom of religion is neither recognized nor protected under the law and is severely restricted in practice” and that “government policies continued to place severe restrictions on religious freedom”. No faith other than Islam is permitted to be practised. There are no churches or other non-Muslim houses of worship permitted in the country. Proselytizing by non-Muslims is illegal. Conversion by Muslims to another religion (apostasy) carries the death penalty.
