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

Nigeria: Islamic jihadists murder eight schoolteachers

Apr 11, 2014 7:22 pm By Robert Spencer

boko-haramBoko Haram’s real name is the Party of the People of the Sunnah for Dawah and Jihad. In other words, it explains and justifies its activities specifically by reference to Islamic doctrine. Its name Boko Haram means “Western education is sin,” or “Books bad,” and stems from the idea that a Western education is a sinful departure from an Islamic education, which centers on the Qur’an and Sunnah, not on technology or science or higher math and certainly not on literature. And so, since Islamic law mandates death for apostates and heretics, Boko Haram murders teachers who dare to teach such things.

“Boko Haram kills Eight Teachers in Borno School,” from This Day Live, April 11 (thanks to King Dave):

The outlawed Boko Haram sect launched attacks on troubled Borno town Thursday killing 8 teachers

The sect in the latest attacks on Thursday evening invaded three towns of Borno; Dikwa (in the central), Gwoza and Kalahgde (both in South).

In the attack on yet to be identified school in Dikwa, some residents of the town who fled to Maiduguri revealed to journalists that the hoodlums killed eight teachers.

One of them who spoke on condition of anonymity said some had to flee the town to Maiduguri.

“We could not sleep at night as all we were hearing was gunshot and we became afraid and had to sneak in the dark for Maiduguri.”

    The only sin is the so-called education that is forced upon people by groups like Boko Haram!

    No mention of this in the mainstream press anywhere. But the egregious BBC gets their knickers in a twist over Christians “persecuting” muslims in the Central African Republic!

    The Mohammedan mob – butchering *schoolteachers* all the way from one end of the world (northern Nigeria) to the other (southern Thailand).

    Well, western education could be better, public schools in the US are molded after an 1850’s German model designed to educate workers enough for factory work. Islamic education drags way behind that. Graduates from that school make good jihadists, but not good workers. One of Mohammad’s motto’s was, ‘What, me work’?? The very idea must have sent shivers up his spine.
    People who actually work never get rich, and never own any slaves.
    ‘Rob for a job’ was much more appealing.

    Yep…book lurnin is no durned good! Islam is losing the battle for hearts and minds in Africa and violence is their solution because no intellectual support exists for Islam.

    Be the murderous violence of the Islamic terror group Boko Haram or al Shabaab, Ansar, al Islam, al Qaeda,Hezbollah, Hamas, P.I.J. etc. they these Islamic entities engage the violent and deadly actions of the militant jihadism of Islam, Sura 9:11,112. 47:4. With this stated it’s fittingto keyboard that if Islam is represented as a fruit tree then the fruit of that tree are those heinous and vicious Islamic groups just mentioned above along with other likeminded Islamic groups. Thus the Wisdom of the teachings of Jesus very much does apply to this subject. For Jesus taught “Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men 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 said “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 3:16,17.36. 14.:6 . First John 2:22,23.

    Thank you Jihad Watch for the shout out!

    Regrettably, I see Boko Haram usurping the Northern territories of Nigeria. And even worse, it will not stop there. They will expand because they don’t produce anything but genocide. All efforts to exterminate Boko Haram are condemned by the liberal media, the UN and watch dog groups.. Those reasons are why the Rwandan genocide was unopposed until…
