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

Nigeria: Islamic jihadists murder dozens with car bomb in market

Jul 1, 2014 8:04 am By Robert Spencer

nigeria_2188640bWorld attention has turned to The Islamic State in Iraq, but Boko Haram, the Congregation of the People of the Sunnah for Dawah and Jihad, continues to act with impunity, apparently completely free to murder Infidels without fear of any action by the Nigerian government.

“Nigeria bomb rips through marketplace,” Associated Press, July 1, 2014 (thanks to Twostellas):

Dozens of people are feared dead after a car bomb exploded in a market in Nigeria’s north-eastern city of Maiduguri, witnesses said.

Boko Haram, the Islamic extremist group whose birthplace is Maiduguri and which is accused of a series of recent bomb attacks in the west African nation, was immediately blamed for the attack on Tuesday morning.

Explosions last week targeted the biggest shopping centre in Nigeria’s capital, Abuja, killing 24 people; a medical college in northern Kano city, killing at least eight; and a hotel brothel in north-east Bauchi city that left 10 dead.

On Monday night, Nigeria’s military said it had arrested a businessman who it alleged had “participated actively” in the mass abduction of more than 200 schoolgirls in April.

The explosives in Tuesday’s attack were hidden under a load of charcoal in a van, according to witnesses who spoke on condition of anonymity for fear of reprisals.

Trader Daba Musa Yobe, who works near the popular market, said the bomb went off just after the market opened at 8am, before most traders or customers had arrived. Other witnesses said they saw about 50 bodies, and that five cars and some tricycle taxis were set ablaze by the explosion.

They said the death toll could have been worse but fewer traders and customers were around than normal because most people stayed up late to eat during Ramadan, the Muslim month of fasting from sunrise to sunset….

    OT
    The European Court has ruled that banning the Burqa DOES NOT breech human rights.
    Lets hope that EVERY country in Europe passes an immediate ban on wearing the Burqa in public

      Hopefully. The burqa is discriminatory, a symbol of enslavement and a threat of rape to unveiled women.

    I wonder what BH thinks about IS’s claim of wanting to destroy the kaabaa…

      Angemon….

      I wonder what BH thinks about IS’s claim of wanting to destroy the kaabaa…

      I had read some of your comments with Philip Jihadski on the Aiesha thread….and thought that you has a bit of common going for you …and I see that I was wrong…it looks like Philip is doing the conducting and you are clapping you seal hands (ou, ou, ou)..

      Clearly this statement has not been said by the IS (and don’t forget I am shia and HATE the IS) but someone else for the furtherment of naughtiness, amusement and IS bans. IS will not want to stop the flow of supporters to them …so this step won’t happen….unless Abu Bakr declares himself as the next prophet in which case he will want his own legacy and this will happen….but I think there is no future in that step …he will lose his followers overnight.

      The IS for their part is funded and armed by the Sowdies…that wanker King Abdullah thinks he can control them ….by trying to get them to certain Shia shrines and blowing them and Abdullah taking the credit..

      The IS however said “Gee, Abdullah, thanks for the weapons and the money” …but most recent events show that IS is wanting to enter the Saud for their own purposes.

      The leader of ISIS, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi has declared himself the “calipha” and wants the Saud for himself…..making “his Majesty” sweat by the actions of the ungrateful Abu Bakr….the beast of the East.

      I looked at that and thought LOL…LOOOL… the inbred King got it wrong…..but he has Obama who bows down to him ..so is just about safe for now. He cannot rely on Obama forever so King Abdullah has been forced to deploy tanks at the Saud/Iraq border to protect himself.

      Obama only has a couple of years to go …and so we shall see what happens next to his precious sunni kingdom.

      Boko Haram in the mean time is doing it’s level best to create a sub-calipha in another part of the world. If they ever meet Abu-Bakr will have him for breakfast ….ain’t no blackman going to become the calipah….think I am rascist?

      Look at all the pictures of ISA (pbuh) …he was not a white man per se…but show me ONE drawing where he looks like a darkie?

      Like it or not …that’s just the way it is …

      More Later ….

        Interesting take and I agree with your analysis.

        For the record, I am a pretty strong anti-Islamist but I have a degree of respect still for Shia Islam. While I do not agree with many of the rigid values of Shia Islam either, I have not seen a fraction of the horror from Shias as I have seen from Sunnis.

        As far as any showdown in the middle east, I find myself firmly on the side of Shias and hope they are victorious against a clearly crazed and bloodthirsty Sunni alliance of Wahhabi salafists. There is nothing worse.

          That’s like saying you’re anti-nazi but you have a degree of respect for neo-nazis because, even though you don’t agree with many of their values, they haven’t sent gypsies, gays or jews to the gas chambers.

          Angemon,

          No, its not actually. Your comparison is not only incorrect, it doesn’t even make sense.

          In any case, compare locations dominated by Shia muslims to those where Sunni run amok. Then look at he majority of known terrorist organizations and salafist groups – they are virtually ALL Sunni. Alevis and Sufis are limited exceptions.

          But if we do play your game, of course, I would prefer neonazi posers to the real thing. duh.

          Jul 1, 2014 at 7:18 pm

          You’re just as knowledgeable as Obama when he said they needed to help the moderate rebels in Syria. Oh, did I say “knowledgeable “? Sorry, I meant “clueless”. You don’t know that the shia are around 10-15% of the whole ummah, right? I doubt you know that, otherwise you wouldn’t be claiming that shia are somehow “better” than sunni based on the number of terrorist organizations. It’s not because they’re more tolerant of non-muslims, it’s because here’s less of them, period.

          As for the comparison between sunni and shia locations, are you not keeping up with Iran? The hangings of homosexuals, the treatment of women, the marrying age of 9 to girls, the mysterious disappearance of political dissidents, the routine “Death to America” sing-along power walks and flag burning, the rampant anti-semitism… How are shia states any better than sunni states when it comes to the equal treatment of muslims and non-muslims? But hey, if you love shia Iran now, just wait until they get their hands on a nuke. It’s gonna be a blast!

          And yes, my nazi/neo-nazi comparison is right. The reason neo-nazis aren’t shipping “subhumans” to the gas chambers is not because they interpret the nazi ideology that differently than nazis in 1930-40’s Germany, it’s because they can’t. Same reason to why the “rigid” shias aren’t nuking Israel or the US, although they do enjoy making CG movies what what they think it would happen if they did. Well, i guess that they need all the masturbatory help they can get, seeing how the women need to cosplay tents and porn is illegal.

          Now, i don’t recall asking you to choose between nazis and neo-nazis so you’re giving the thumbs up to neo-nazis out of your own free will (even though you said my comparison was incorrect and made no sense) but, had I asked you to choose between them, the only acceptable answer would be “both have the same overall ideology and both would send jews, gays, gypsies, political dissidents and whoever they deemed unfit of living in their ‘perfect’ wold to the gas chambers if they had the chance so I want nothing to do with any of them”.

        Why does anyone follow the Shia ‘religion’ or even admit to it?
        Isn’t that like a shacked dog guarding its chain?
        The Persians are such a conquered people that they even self-flagellate to remind Sunni Muslims of their total submission to Islam.
        Shia’s shining example Ayatollah Khomeini was such a cruel and sexually perverted human being that no one can deny that he was a direct descendant of the Prophet. His grave is barricaded in cage to keep out stray dogs that wish to leave behind even more proof of his lineage.

          Exactly!! Why would anybody want to follow any kind of Islam -Sunni, Shia, Sufi, Ahmadi, and anyother kind. These are all murderous cults and they all follow the the same murderer and rapist leader , Mo/allah, calling himself a prophet. Yeah prophet of doom and gloom!!

        A piss-poor unsubstantiated insult about an unrelated topic from someone who can barely cobble two sentences together and defended a man in his fifties who raped a nine-year-old girl ? I’ll take that as a compliment, than you very much 😉

    I really wonder how many muslims have been murdered by
    other muslims all claiming that if you die in the struggle
    you will go to heaven to claim your 72 rasins (err virgins)..

    What is really sick is
    all of these muslims if they did not accept Jesus as their Lord they will wake up in hell finding mohammed screaming next to them saying
    i was wrong..

    Their dying in massive numbers (except for christians) who are being slaughtered in genocidal rates..

    and what is so sad is
    God in heaven sees all of these muslims as his children too
    mankind and men and woman are Gods children
    But this level of insanity (and i believe it is going to get much worse)..
    is so bad now that even the muslims are embaressed by their mass murdering brothers..

    Problem is (each one claims it has exclusive rights to God)
    FOOLS – they dont even know whom God is or his heart..
