Nigeria: Islamic jihadists of Boko Haram kidnap 20 more women

Jun 9, 2014 11:41 am By Robert Spencer

140512-boko-haram-girls-615a_95a5aaaabe54356e927c52230e8da198“So when you meet those who disbelieve, strike necks until, when you have inflicted slaughter upon them, then secure their bonds, and either favor afterwards or ransom until the war lays down its burdens.” (Qur’an 47:4)

Now that it has been revealed that Nigerian generals have been arming this bloodthirsty group, it is clearer why they have been able to operate with such impunity in Nigeria, and continue to do so. But neither the mainstream media nor the leaders of the great nations of the West dare to consider the implications of the fact that this group’s supposed twisting and hijacking of Islam is shared by people at high levels of the Nigerian government.

“Nigerian gunmen kidnap 20 women in northeast,” by Haruna Umar, Associated Press, June 9, 2014 (thanks to Anne Crockett):

MAIDUGURI, Nigeria (AP) — Suspected Boko Haram gunmen have reportedly kidnapped 20 women from a nomadic settlement in northeast Nigeria near the town of Chibok, where the Islamic militants abducted more than 300 schoolgirls and young women on April 15.

Alhaji Tar, a member of the vigilante groups set up to resist Boko Haram’s attacks, said the men arrived at noon Thursday in the Garkin Fulani settlement and forced the women to enter their vehicles at gunpoint. He says they drove away to an unknown location in the remote stretch of Borno state.

Tar said the group also took three young men who tried to stop the kidnapping.

“We tried to go after them when the news got to us about three hours later, but the vehicles we have could not go far, and the report came to us a little bit late,” he said.

In another incident, the Defense Headquarters said Monday that troops prevented raids by Boko Haram this weekend on villages in Borno and neighboring Adamawa state. Soldiers killed more than 50 militants on Saturday night as they were on their way to attack communities, defense spokesman Chris Oluklade said in an emailed statement.

The Nigerian military has come under rising criticism from Nigerians who say they’re not protected by the security forces, left to fend off attacks by Boko Haram on their own.

Boko Haram wants to establish an Islamic state in Nigeria. Some 275 of the kidnapped girls remain missing.

    Even though the MSM might claim that Boko Haram is a “grass roots home grown self-radicalized insurgency that gets its financing from unknown sources,” the sordid truth says otherwise.

    Jihad is in the muslim group’s name, the “People ..for ..Jihad”. They have openly cited Koran 9:29:
    “Allah has tasked all Muslims in Quran 9:29 to continue to attack Jews and Christians who refuse to believe in him and his messenger, Prophet Mohammed.” (www.Persecution.org 17 July 2012)
    The victims are Christian.
    BBC TV June 8 spoke of “violence” and of Boko Haram. There was no mention of no mention of Muslim, and no mention of Christian.
    Perhaps it is just coincidence that the Head of Religious Broadcasting is a muslim.

    Rezali
    Come quick defend this action by your fellow muslims. Tell us how this in some way the fault of these poor women. Come on now we are waiting to be enlightened by you evil one.

      Yes, Islamisdeath—the vile Rezali Mehil has already defended the kidnapping and rape of Infidels—and claimed that her own aunt was kidnapped, raped, and forcibly converted during partition in Pakistan—and that she was (supposedly) happy about it.

      This same nasty Muslimah has counseled that no efforts should be made to rescue these girls, and that we have to regard them as lost forever.

      I’m sure she’d be thrilled to hear about this latest atrocity. *Ugh*.

    On the news again, they’re going to have a discussion,
    “sexual violence in war”
    Boko Haram was mentioned, but no mention of Islam, Allah, the Koran, Mo, or muslims. They seem to not understand the nature of Islam, or are gagged.
    One of the women from where the girls were taken said,
    “the perpetrators need to be arrested” meaning the guys involved, which is not the problem, there is an endless flow of rapists in Islam, the source needs to be sorted, the koran muhammed allah islam.

    All will be well. Angelina Jolie is in charge of the UN committee to investigate the reason for rape in war. Perhaps she can get George Clooney s fiancé on her team. After all Amal is a human Rights lawyer.

    Turkey is an island of peace among Muslim countries, comparatively. They have no oil, but are wealthy.

    The difference is that polygamy was banned in 1921 and social, sexual balance was the result, and women became emancipated. The Western alphabet was adopted and Arabic script scrapped. The curriculum pivoted to Western subjects. Women were allowed into universities, and the veil was banned.

    It is too bad our addled leader would rather encourage the MB than these proven principles enacted by Attaturk.

      Unfortunately, Bukkdems, Turkey is fast Islamizing under Erdogan—many of the gains you mention in Turkey are now being reversed.

    Memo to Nigerian Christians (and Nigerian animists/ pagans).

    Arm not only your men but your **women and girls**. Properly. Whatever it takes. Teach them to fight, not only with guns, but with anything else that comes to hand.

    Israel, in 1948, survived because many Jewish women – even a 17 year old girl, a survivor of the Nazi death camps, and affirming Life by marrying and choosing to start a baby right away, in the intervals between battles – *fought alongside their men*. They *had* to. The girl I mention was met by journalist John Roy Carlson, on a sandbagged rooftop in Jerusalem. She and her husband and another young man and another young girl were all exchanging fire with mohammedan snipers. And this young woman said of another young woman on that rooftop…”She verrrry verrry good sharpshooter”.

    They weren’t fighting for the fun of it. They didn’t want to be soldiers. They had nothing to “prove”. It was just that Israel, terribly outnumbered by a genocidal enemy, the same enemy that the Christians and pagans in Nigeria are facing *now*, needed every ablebodied person who could tote a gun. These young Jewish women were fighting like lionesses to protect the children they intended to have (or the children they were *already* carrying) and the homes and gardens that they planned to build.

    Nigeria: Islamic jihadists of Boko Haram kidnap 20 more women
    …………………………….

    And why not? These fine Jihadists have gotten away with abducting, raping, and enslaving almost 300 women and girls. The only ones who have been able to return to their families were the few intrepid girls who have escaped and returned on their own.

    DDA is right: Christians and animists—including the young women targeted—must defend themselves, since it is clear by now that the inept and compromised Nigerian government isn’t about to do it.
