Nigeria: Islamic jihadists raid Christian town, throw bombs into houses

Nov 30, 2014 1:57 pm By Robert Spencer

Boko-Haram_0“Bishop Kevin? Boko Haram has done it again. They’ve raided the town of Shani, a largely Christian town, and thrown bombs into people’s homes.”

“Yeah, so?”

“Well, I thought you might want to bring it up at tonight’s outreach and dialogue meeting at Masjid Aurangzeb.”

“Are you kidding? Imam Mahmoud has already told me they condemn the attacks on Christians.”

“Yes, I know that, Bishop Kevin, but maybe you could ask Imam Mahmoud what he is doing to teach Muslims to reject the understanding of Islam that leads to these attacks on Christians–”

“Be serious. Do you want them to think I’m a racist? A bigot? Look, Father Bud, these dialogue sessions are designed to build bridges, not to cause offense. And besides, the chicken and pita over at the mosque is out of this world.”

“Yes, Bishop Kevin, I understand. But what good is building bridges if you constantly avoid difficult or controversial issues?”

“Father Bud, I have just one thing to say to you: you will never be a bishop.”

“Suspected Boko Haram militants raid northern Christian town in Nigeria,” Reuters, November 30, 2014 (thanks to Jerk Chicken):

MAIDUGURI, Nigeria (Reuters) – Suspected Boko Haram militants, who arrived on motorcycles throwing bombs, raided a mostly Christian town in Nigeria’s northeast after nightfall on Saturday, residents and a military source said.

Residents said scores of people had been killed in the town of Shani, but a police source said they had been unable to verify the death toll as communications to the town had been largely cut off.

“They rode on motorcycles and were more than 30 men. They started throwing bombs into houses…then the Boko Haram fired shots at people fleeing,” resident Ishaya Brimah told Reuters by phone from a nearby village on Sunday.

“They set ablaze the police station, houses and a telecom mast…I saw people fleeing, some bodies on the ground.”

Shani is located in Nigeria’s Borno state, the heartland of Islamist group Boko Haram’s five-year insurgency, which has displaced more than one million people.

The Sunni jihadist movement is fighting to revive a medieval Islamic caliphate in Nigeria’s north. The group is suspected to be behind Friday’s attack on the central mosque in the second city of Kano, where at least 100 people died….

    Substitute “Bishop Kevin” for any one of the bishops members of the RCC’s United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (well, okay, 98% of them, but that 2% is pretty small and pretty silent).

    I notice on the story propaganda image, and many other Islamist propaganda images, there is usually some sort of book over the crossed AK-47s, IS flags, etc.

    Anyone have any ideas what book that might be? Certainly it is not the Holy Koran…

    The problem is there are many Muslims in the gov’t and military who agree with the hoped for ends to this constant violence against Christians and anyone else who opposes Islamic domination. Nothing much will be done to stop it. Only the people defending themselves will stop it. Period. Media be damned. The left be damned. The Islamusts be damned. Protect yourself and your family!

    I would suggest that the Christians beef up their Neighborhood Watch.

    Their only choice is to flee there, it’s total barbaric chaos on all sides. Black lives matter, unless they’re victims of jihad.

      “Their only choice is to flee there, it’s total barbaric chaos on all sides. Black lives matter, unless they’re victims of jihad.”

      Not so, there is very clearly another choice.

      That choice is to fight.

      They know their own neighborhoods. They can set traps, preposition IED’s, set up communication systems with their neighbors, and then KILL THE JIHADI BASTARDS – with all the effiency alacrity and joy the occasion demands.

      Deus Vult!
