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

Nigeria: Islamic jihadists bomb church, murder five people

Jul 27, 2014 1:54 pm By Robert Spencer

St-charles_catholic-church-kanoRemember: Christians in the West are not to speak of such things. To do so would harm the “dialogue”: “Talk about extreme, militant Islamists and the atrocities that they have perpetrated globally might undercut the positive achievements that we Catholics have attained in our inter-religious dialogue with devout Muslims.” — Robert McManus, Roman Catholic Bishop of Worcester, Massachusetts, February 8, 2013.

“Source: 5 dead in suicide blast at Nigeria church,” by Hassan John, CNN, July 27, 2014:

A suicide bomber in Nigeria killed at least five people on Sunday in an attack on a church in the city of Kano, a local resident told CNN. There was no immediate claim of responsibility.

The incident happened in an area of northern Nigeria with a strong presence of Boko Haram militants.

Boko Haram, a hard-line Islamist movement, has attacked Christian churches in the past and abducted scores of schoolgirls last April.

The militant group says its aim is to impose a stricter enforcement of Sharia law across Nigeria, which is split between a majority Muslim north and a mostly Christian south.

The bomber self-detonated inside the St. Charles Catholic Church in Kano’s predominantly Christian Sabon Gari district, according to Kano resident Shade Sijuade.

Sabon Gari residents spilled onto the street to protest the attack, Sijuade said. It is not yet clear if the church was holding a service during the bombing.

Sijuade lives near the church, heard the explosion, and went to the scene, where she saw the casualties. She said a security officer told her that the suicide attacker was a female.

    The world has gone mad, platitudes ring ever more hollow, and Barack Obama golfs, dines, socializes (in more than one sense) and fund-raises for his narrow constituency.

      “The world has gone mad”

      Yes, by not stopping the mass-murdering islamic barbarians.

    Only five dead? Must be moderate Muslims.

    Sorry. Being flip is a defense mechanism to years of reading similar stories.

      Without a reasonable sense of humor,who can survive in this world.Boko Harem is simply a religious cult based on Islam which in turn is a crime syndicate of Middle-East origin which masked itself in quasi-religious garb.’BY their fruits you shall know them .all of them.

    Gee. I wonder if McManus ever enumerates and elucidates the “positive achievements” he’s so asininely worried about undercutting by simply saying the truth about “devout Muslims.” How much more devout can you get than by simply following the directions laid out in the Koran? By that measure Boko Haram excels.

      How many prepubescent boys are they sneaking to McManus’s bedroom at night for him to be such a tool? Sorry, but as Beagle says, being flip starts to be a defense mechanism against the evil insanity of interfaith normality.

    I notice that they do not even have the cross on the (top of the church) like in the West and still the devout supremacist Muslims wish to take offence at Christianity.
    Let this be a notice to appeasement inclined Christians …
    Muslims do not merely feel entitled to appeasement; they want submission.

      Pretty soon.you will have to press the “SUBMIT” button at the gas pump in order to purchase gas……or groceries……or anything……….notice the mark in devout Muslims foreheads …..

    When Hamas participants in Gaza are killed while attacking civilians, it is called an atrocity by the Obamanites. When Christians are brutally ” ethnically cleansed” by the new Caliphate in Nigeria, Iraq , Syria,
    and in other areas; Obamanites call it urban renewal .

      I was unaware that Obama even gave a damn or said anything about the massacre of Christians.

      He sure as hell has said little or nothing about Hamas killing Israelis and their incessant attacks on Sedot (possibly spelled wrong); and their kidnapping, etc.

      nor has he said anything about the Islamic Jihadists rocket attacks on Israel.

      And, in a NEWSMAX story–(did not finish, almost regurgitated after reading the begining) PELOSI SAID THAT OBAMA’S FOREIGN POLICY LEADERSHIP IS STRONG.

      What planet is she on?
