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

Nigeria: Islamic jihadists screaming “Allahu akbar” murder 35 people and kidnap 185 more

Dec 18, 2014 3:48 pm By Robert Spencer

Shekau“So when you meet those who disbelieve, strike necks until, when you have inflicted slaughter upon them, then secure their bonds, and either favor afterwards or ransom until the war lays down its burdens…” (Qur’an 47:4)

“Suspected Islamic Extremists Kidnap 185 in Nigeria,” by Haruna Umar and Michelle Faul, Associated Press, December 18, 2014:

Islamic extremists killed 35 people and kidnapped at least 185 in an attack near the town where nearly 300 schoolgirls were taken hostage in April, witnesses said Thursday.

In Sunday night’s attack on the village of Gumburi, most of the kidnapped were young women, children and members of a civilian defense group fighting Boko Haram, according to residents, a security official and a local government officer.

Teenager Aji Ibrahim said he was lucky to escape into the bushes.

“No doubt they were Boko Haram members because they were chanting ‘Allahu akbar’ (God is great) while shooting at people and torching houses,” he told The Associated Press.

News of the attack took days to emerge because the militants have destroyed communications towers and people walked for days to avoid areas under extremist control.

Gumburi is 20 kilometers (12 miles) from Chibok, the northeastern town where extremists kidnapped 276 schoolgirls in April. Dozens of the students escaped that attack, but 219 remain missing.

The militants have kidnapped hundreds of people, but the mass kidnappings of the girls from a boarding school attracted international outrage and condemnation of Nigerian President Goodluck Jonathan and his military for their failure to rescue the hostages.

The United States, Britain, France and China were among countries that sent security experts and hostage negotiators to help free the girls. Washington also flew drones over the area where it believed the schoolgirls were held. None of them has yet been found….

      Do more than pray…challenge Muslims. You can do that be just looking the jihadists in the eye and shaking your head. Communicate to them the we understand their ideology because we have read their books.

        I have done that too…I don’t see as many in my present circumstances as I did before when it was a daily thing for me to not only see them, but to have discussions on the seriousness of what they believe and the reality of what is expected of them, and what they try to expect from us, or to force us to do.
        And if the opportunity arises again, I will not neglect my responsibility as one who knows it is evil and the work of the devil. But, prayer for me is hourly…sometimes it seems constant. Without it, I wouldn’t be able to function seeing what I have seen and seeing it get worse daily.

    most of the kidnapped were young women, children and members of a civilian defense group fighting Boko Haram

    Sex slaves, brides and “GET OUT OF JAIL FREE” cards for their members. By that order. I hope the government forces kill every last one of the kidnappers.

    Teenager Aji Ibrahim said he was lucky to escape into the bushes.

    “No doubt they were Boko Haram members because they were chanting ‘Allahu akbar’ (God is great) while shooting at people and torching houses,” he told The Associated Press.

    Boko Haram, a.k.a. Jama’atu Ahlis Sunna Lidda’Awati Wal-Jihad – people committed to the prophet[muhammad]’s teachings for propagation and jihad. Or, as the quran has it (5:47):

    “And whoever does not judge by what Allah has revealed – then it is those who are the defiantly disobedient.”.

    Obviously, there is a need for more training and vigilance on the part of the local “neighborhood watch” group.

    Allahu Akbar? Well, I wouldn’t expect them to shout ‘Jesus saves’. Have you noted that not one terrorist attack anywhere has uses that slogan?
