Nigeria: At least 45 murdered in Islamic jihad attack by Boko Haram

Nov 20, 2014 10:43 pm By Robert Spencer

BokoHaram“The caretaker chairman of Mafa local government area, Shettima Lawan said, calling it ‘wicked and despicable.'” Shettima Lawan better be careful, or he could be facing charges of “Islamophobia.”

“At least 45 dead in ‘despicable’ Boko Haram attack,” the Telegraph, November 20, 2014 (thanks to Pamela Geller):

At least 45 people were killed in a suspected Boko Haram attack in northeast Nigeria, officials and witnesses said on Thursday, in the latest violence to hit the restive region.

The attack happened in the village of Azaya Kura in the Mafa area of Borno state on Wednesday, the caretaker chairman of Mafa local government area, Shettima Lawan said, calling it “wicked and despicable”.

Village chief Mallam Bulama said: “We counted 45 bodies at the end of the attack.”

But other residents said more may have died after they fled into the bush.

Mafa, which is about 50 kilometres (30 miles) east by road from the Borno state capital, Maiduguri, and the surrounding area has been repeatedly attacked by the Islamist insurgents.

On October 26, suspected Boko Haram fighters abducted about 30 boys and girls, some of them as young as 11 and 13, while locals complained of almost daily raids that had forced many to flee.

Some 29 people were killed in March this year after flyers were sent warning of an impending attack — a tactic used by the extremists elsewhere in the region in their quest for a hardline Islamic state.

In the latest attack, heavily armed militants arrived on motorcycles at about 12:00 pm (1100 GMT) on Wednesday as villagers were at work.

“So far, 45 men have been killed and there are others that died in the bushes as a result of bleeding from bullet wounds,” said on resident, who gave his name only as Jabiru.

Trader Musa Abbani, who fled to Maiduguri, added: “The attackers destroyed more than half of the houses in our village, burnt over 50 motorcycles and four cars before they took away foodstuff and animals.”

A village elder, Mohammed Bukar, said: “We are still picking our pieces and looking for our missing people, especially those who could not be seen in Maiduguri.”…

    Can Obama find a way to arm the opposition ‘freedom loving’ Nigerians?
    Hello, John McCain, is it only Assad that you wish to blame?

    I seem to have forgotten that they do not want to offend Muslims by causing mischief in Muslim lands because although Muslims claim that Boko Haram has nothing to do with Islam, they will be furious if leaders of a Crusader nation were to kill their fellow Muslims in the act of doing Koran inspired jihad.

    “In the latest attack, heavily armed militants arrived … as villagers were at work.”

    Cowards, just like their “prophet.”

    “..the Prophet had suddenly attacked Bani Mustaliq without warning while they were heedless and their cattle were being watered at the places of water.”
    Bukhari 3.46.717

      Boko Haram admitted this is a war of genocide:
      “Nigerian Boko Haram Declares War against Christians Generally”

      “This is a war against Christians and democracy and their constitution, we have not started, we will be in Abuja, and in your state. This war is against Christians, I mean Christians, generally the infidels. Allah says we should finish them when we get them.” -Abubakar Shekau

    according to the troll shabeer_hassan on the Jordan Queen thread:
    shabeer said
    “then know that they only follow their own lusts. And who is more astray than one who follows his own lusts, without guidance from Allâh?”

    Allah guided Muhammad, who in turn guided Allah to satisfy Muhammad’s lusts.
    Once this sock-puppet religion Islam stops killing it dies.

    Did President Obama not hear about this but with eyes closed because the slaughtering are not human beings with no behading of his citizens yet? Does the Nigeria citizens’ extermination not strong enough to attract the meaningful action from the President of USA and the Congress to determine a solution? Has the Present presented a proposed cost and failed secure approval from the Congress to fight Boko haram as he speedily did with the case of ISIS where he gained authorization to spend five Billion USA dollar or more? How about the use of Drones which actually was sent but surreptitiously rendered ineffective for what ever reasons since no results are heard or equipment had been nocturnally withdrawn to beclous shame of Boko Haram’s victory? Was the resolution to take Nigeria millions of money in exchange of a few obsolete fighters the best developed democracies can offer Nigeria regarded as very important in a number of respects? If developed democracies can not assist Nigeria to sustain democracy would there be condemnation if Nigeria consent to abolish democracy and adopt the Islamic totalitarian and autocratic tendencies as being espoused by Boko Haram as a springboard? What is good for one is also good for the other as far as the assistaces for ISIS and Boko Haran are concermed. We expect American and British allies to set booth on Nigerian soil or supply effective air power to evidence of the benefit of belonging to democratic community Nigeria’s yound demicracy is facing election early next year and in the face of the present circumstance, would the election be free and fair? Of course not!! Where is Ex President Jimmy Carter who usually visit to inspect the Nigerian election? An obstacle to free election cannot be allowed to grow unuprooted before the election. The ramification of unfair election was in part responsible for the Nigeria Biafra war. The Developed democracies ought to support a continuity in democtratic goverance in Nigeria and not pretend as if Bokoharam is a non issue in the face of very glaring evidences to the contrary. Nigerian citizens can longer be slaughtered in silence and properties wantonly destroyed or dispossessed on the alter of Islamic expansionism, the present threat akin to but worst than Communism of after emerging from the ravages of AIDS and Ebola and the leader of the free world appear not to be really concerned or worried because none of his citizens has been beheaded in Nigeria or what? Perhaps it is an oversight or ignorance of the seriousness of Boko Haram as demonic cancer of Islam to democracy. Can an thing Good come out of Islam if not hatred, lawlessness, killing of human beings like animal as barbaric as beheading in complete disobedience to God’s 10 commandments. That spectre must be eradicated and the time is now before the developed civilization is abrogated .

    Khalifa Barak Hussein will not lift a finger to hinder his beloved “harem bozos” — he is in cahoots with all of the moslem brotherhood caliphate crusaders! That “peace-loving” UN is also unable and certainly unwilling to do anything about these killers and jihadists. Worst of all, the US congress is completely silent, giving its official congressional sanction to murder, rape and pillage — as long as it is done in the name of the pedophile prophet!

    Amid worldwide crimes, the few nations with the means to put an end to this islamic crusade are silent accomplices!
