Why would the Congregation of the People of the Sunnah for Dawah and Jihad, aka Boko Haram, target mosques? Aren’t the mosques full of Muslims? Yes, but the wrong kind of Muslims.
“Suicide bombers kill at least six in Nigeria mosques,” AFP, July 29, 2014:
Suicide bombers attacked two mosques in northeast Nigeria’s Yobe state late Tuesday killing at least six people and injuring several others, witnesses told AFP blaming the Boko Haram Islamists.
The first explosion rocked an open air mosque belonging to a Shiite Muslim sect in the Dogo Tebo area of the town of Potiskum around 7:55 pm (1855 GMT) leaving four people dead.
The second blast five minutes later at a mosque within the compound of the chief imam in the town’s Anguwar Bolawa area killed at least two worshippers.
“A suicide bomber we believe was from Boko Haram blew himself up at the open air mosque used by Shiites which they name Saqafa shortly after saying their evening prayers there,” witness Balarabe Dahiru said.
“We took four dismembered bodies of the victims to the hospital along with five others who were injured,” said Dahiru who was sitting outside his house when the blast happened.
The body of the suicide bomber was left untouched by residents in protest, he said.
Resident Awwal Maikusa who gave a similar account said a second blast occurred five minutes later.
“They are obviously the handiwork of Boko Haram,” Maikusa said of the two attacks….

I just discovered what actually UNRWA stands for:
United Nations Rocket & Weapons Agency.
Now you could fully understand why the UN calls upon Israel
to immediately cease fire in Gaza, but there is not much done
to call upon Boko Haram, or ISIS to cease fire in Nigeria, Iraq
and Syria respectively.
And, of course, you could always expect the Obamination in
the Whitewash House to always favour and defend his
Muslim Brothers.
