Boko Haram, the Congregation of the People of the Sunnah for Dawah and Jihad, is able to operate with complete impunity, and the Nigerian government, despite its vows to stop the group, is clearly powerless to do so. “Dozens feared dead in Nigeria blast,” by Ibrahim Abdulaziz, Associated Press, June 2, 2014 (thanks to Jerk Chicken):
YOLA, Nigeria (AP) — Dozens of people were feared dead following an explosion on Sunday evening in northeastern Nigeria, with Boko Haram militants believed to be behind the attack, officials said.
The attack took place near a primary school where there are also a number of beer halls in the town of Mubi in Adamawa state, one of the three states under a year-old emergency rule imposed by President Goodluck Jonathan to fight Boko Haram, which seeks to impose Islamic rule in Nigeria.
Othman Abubakar, a spokesman for the Adamawa state police, confirmed the explosion but he couldn’t say how many people had been killed or injured.
David Dauda, who witnessed the blast, said he saw at least 30 bodies following the explosion.
“The blast occurred shortly after people are dispersing from a football playing ground. People gathered there to watch a football competition and just few minutes after soldiers patrol vehicle left the place then we heard a blast,” Dauda said.
The explosion occurred at around 6:45 p.m. local time when many people were headed home to make a 7:00 p.m. curfew imposed in the wake of earlier attacks.
Nigeria’s northeastern region has suffered five years of increasingly deadly assaults by Boko Haram, whose fighters have targeted towns and villages in a string of bomb and gun attacks.
At least 2,000 civilians have been killed in such attacks this year alone.
Boko Haram has claimed responsibility for kidnapping more than 300 schoolgirls in the town of Chibok on April 15. Fifty seven girls are believed to have escaped, which leaves an estimated 272 still held captive.
In another attack Sunday evening, also in Adamawa state, suspected Boko Haram members opened fire at people indiscriminately around the town of Madagali, according to witnesses….

I OFFER A GIFT TO MUSLIMS
Sacrifice Lost (Recite, Recite, Recite)
Sharia … The path to the water
“We must find a SACRIFICE to bring forth rain and fields green.
Repeat it, until you learn to truly believe,” demanded thee.
“No, your ignorance repeats only to hide the truth it fears to believe.
You flaunt a pious display merely to nurture your scheme” answered he.
The lock-eyed fanatics chanted “an offering to Allah is a must.
Sacrifice then, this unbeliever, who dares to mock us.”
And so it began, when Islamic pride and fear bludgeoned sanity,
unleashing delusions hidden beneath faces etched by years of pious vanity.
Justice was then sacrificed to the ancient desire of self-righteous lust
with Islam’s dishonor and a sacrifice anointed by a layer of fresh bloodied dust.
Muhammad’s executioner procured a veil of dignity for their unseemly deed.
He proposed a place of no escape from a fate that truth need not see.
“Dispose of this unbeliever. Our hands are clean, yes we all agree.”
Their furtive deed completed was thus freed; as if to say, “(Allah’s will) not us.”
“The drought will soon decay to break a new day with a cool drenching gush.”
But, sun bleached wells offered only empty buckets with a tease of rust.
“Has the executioner lost our sacrifice or has Muhammad deceived?”
“Fear not, one last well remains to quench our thirst; you must believe.”
“In the valley, as cool shadows recede, you will find water with bended knees.”
They raced along the path of sharia and converged with one desperate need.
The mob rejoiced when a splash echoed from a stone, in answer to their plea.
But, this well’s tainted promise turned their aching thirst into a sudden disgust.
Hollow-eyed, twirling on a rope, grinning beneath a dripping crust
and hanging beyond any mercy, its stench offered only that, what is just.
Beneath trembling whispers, sharia’s veil fell in the deathly hush;
“Allah have mercy…our SACRIFICE has yet again found us.”
RELIGION DOES NOT SAVE THOSE WHO TURN ITS WELL TO A GRAVE.
PRAY FOR A CLEANSING RAIN TO WASH AWAY THE CLINGING STAIN OF ISLAMIC FAITH.

“Complete impunity” – as Mr. Spencer nails it exactly — and that gives other jihadists in Africa go-ahead encouragement.
Incompetent and compromised governments are just about synonymous with that continent…. So, watch the death toll appear in more “nations” as months go by.
Time, stupidity, fear — all on the side of Boko Haram and its brother groups.

Takfiri says “Boko Haram – Western education is bad”, yet where exactly did he learn terrorism? I’ll tell you where: in the notebooks of the WESTERN-INSPIRED communist-soviet backed and militarist-american backed guerrillas that have operated with impunity in 3rd world countries in the last century.
Takfiri Terrorists are worshipping a shishkebab of Western military ideology and Islam. This is a perversion of Islam and we who are moderate Muslims thoroughly reject it! Islam was never about terrorist guerrilla tactics, it was about massive, organised armies of believers openly fighting against injustice, not in the shadows like these clowns do! We believe that Muslims should strive to create an image for Islam as a belief that can put a stop to Western decadence and establish just and benevolent rule once again as during the reign of the Ummayad and Abbasid Caliphs, providing patronage to the arts and sciences. If we start killing ppl on the streets and terrorising them, they will NEVER convert to Islam!

Hey, StJ, have you even read the Sira or the history book of Tabari? I have and many posters here have as well. Try studing them and get back to us. First question: how many surprise raids were attempted by the first Muslims upon caravans until they were successful in capturing booty? Hint: “…persecution is worse than slaughter…”…. “I’ll take my 20%. ” peace

You are wasting your time trying to fool the people here at Jihad Watch.
Most of us are very well informed on the texts of your vile cult, and your mandate to lie to non-mohammedans.
Boko Haram is merely following, to the letter, the injunctions of your foul koran, and following in the footsteps of your murderous, paedophile ‘prophet’.

Isn’t there a verb -terrorise used in the Quran?
The western decadence is in fact the fruit called – human rights,won by centuries of struggle and revolutions. It is not a western culture,it is the “nature droit”.
And the science of the Arab “golden era” has been an incident of only 30years in which the Arab – persian scientists were treated as heretics. Wake up u fool! Endorse the solidarism and humanism which are preached by secularists, even so, that democratical and republican movement had it’s theoretical basis in the New testament. It is no capitulation if you are progressive. Leave Islam only to be a folclore,not an political ideology and way of living.

“..Islam was never about terrorist guerrilla tactics, it was about massive, organised armies of believers openly fighting against injustice,..”
Really?
Angry because a 120-year-old poet wrote some verses criticizing his holiness, Muhammad said: “Who will deal with this rascal for me?”
Whereupon Salim b. Umayr, went forth and killed him IN HIS BED!!!
Angry because a poetess wrote some verses criticizing his holiness, Muhammad sent a friend of his, Umair Bin A’addy, in the middle of the night to kill her. He drew a sword into her chest WHILE SHE WAS BREASTFEEDING HER BABY!!!
Keep your head down, Muslim. The world has read your books and history.

Ho, ho. ‘Moderate’! Who gave you the right to create your own ‘Islam-à-la-carte’?
‘Create an image’? Ho, ho. The source texts of Islam are beyond redemption! The violent verses of the Koran cannot be removed nor can the Sira or hadiths be rewritten to suit you.
Squeeze, you are delusional. The caliphs practiced the same savage Islam as the jihadists of today, only the caliphs slaughtered in the tens of thousands.
