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

Nigeria: Islamic jihadists take elderly people to schools, open fire, murder 50

Dec 20, 2014 9:08 pm By Robert Spencer

BokoHaram1Working to “strike terror into the hearts of the enemies of Allah” (Qur’an 8:60).

“Extremists in Nigeria Lining up Elderly and Shooting Them,” by Haruna Umar, Associated Press, December 20, 2014:

Islamic extremists in northeast Nigeria are turning their guns on elderly people, killing more than 50 this week in a new tactic that has instilled more fear in areas the militants call an Islamic caliphate.

Residents from five villages say people too elderly to flee Gwoza local government area are being rounded up and taken to two schools where the militants open fire on them. The villages are about 130 kilometers (80 miles) southeast of Maiduguri, the Borno state capital.

“What they are doing now is to assemble the aged people ? both men and women … and then they just open fire on some of them,” said Muhammed Gava, a spokesman for civil defense groups in the area. More than 50 people had been killed at Government Day Secondary School in Gwoza, he said.

A villager who had fled said more elderly people are being gathered and shot at Uvaghe Central Primary School. The villager spoke on condition of anonymity for fear of endangering his trapped parents….

    No shortage of islamic-induced murders lately.
    Interesting that there is no hint of this in the MSM.
    I wonder how long it will take them to report this and that the murders of police officers in New York was also jihad.

      Here in Australia *all journalists* across all TV networks reported the murders as a “revenge attack”, and they all referenced the “white cops kill unarmed black men” myth. In effect, they said the murders of the police were understandable, if not approved. And all Islamic postings on the terrorist’s facebook page were of course suppressed. (Please note our journalists are by far the most morally-reprehensible people in this country, and that includes the criminal population, and they are not typical of Aussies.)

      Only Fox News would allow an anti-Jihadist, like Spener, to have a show like that and Fox won’t do it as some large shareholders of Fox’s parent company are Muslims.

      Agreed! Robert Spencer should get air time on MSM. Would a letter campaign to news agencies demanding they report on what is happening do any good? If not we should be posting the jihad watch website on you tube videos that support free speech. If everyone posted a link to either this website more people will know what is going on.

    This is a clear genocide. The protocols of genocide must be implemented by the UN.

      as has been seen in other places on the African continent, when the elderly are eliminated, so is the “history” of a people (tribes and clans); the storytellers are valuable for a people’s esteem.

      the replacement culture, ISLAM, as outlined by the SHARIA (enslavement tool), is not equivalent in richness. … putrid cultural engineering technique

      however, the old ones have ways of coming back to interfere with dreams and other life experiences. Shekau should beware of the angry jinn contracted to bring revenge; he and his “troops” shall find no easy rest

      and, of course, there shall be unease for the guilt accrued against the desires of the LORD of hosts, against whom the Allah god of Islam (unknowable; the best of all deceivers) is as a whimp,

    Elderly people, women, children and unarmed citizens are their favorite targets. There’s a reason for that: THEY ARE COWARDS.
    True followers of Muhammad are cowards because Muhammad himself was a coward.
    Did you know that when he was surrounded by his enemies, the great prophet of Islam…PLAYED DEAD?

      Salah – off topic I know but may I ask you (or anyone else who knows)

      I see the first part of the shahada (tahlila?) interpreted as:

      There is no God but God – that sounds meaningless to me.

      There is no Allah but Allah – similar.

      There is no god but God – more sensible but I suspect the motives of people trying to merge Allah and God who are very different characters in my book.

      There is no deity except Allah
      or
      There is no god but Allah – which sound right to me. I know the difference between ilah and Allah but the transliterated version leaves me for dead.

      What do you think shoud be the right translation?

      • Salah says

        Dec 21, 2014 at 11:30 am

        I would go with “There is no god but Allah.”

        While browsing the net I found the following article, I’ll paste it down:

        The phrase, “no god but Allah” proves “Allah” is not just another word for “God” to the Muslims. The transliterated phrase from Arabic reads, “La ilaha illAllah”. A word for word translation into English would read: La [no] ilaha [god] ill [except or but] Allah [Allah]. The important thing to note is that the word “Allah” is a name and is not the word for god. If “Allah” were the word for god, then the phrase would read, “there is no Allah but Allah”. Clearly it does not. The Qur’an itself claims that Allah is the personal name of the Islamic god: (17:110) “Say, Call Him Allah or call Him Ar-Rahman; whatever the name you call Him, all His names are beautiful.” If “Allah” were the word for god, then Islam’s god is nameless. There is also no evidence that the word “Allah” is a contraction of the words “al ilah”, which means, “the god”. If it were, then again, the phrase would read: “there is no allah but allah”.

        As part of the first “Pillar of Islam”, this issue is critical as Islam claims that the God of the Bible (whose name is Yahweh) and Allah are one in the same and that we all, therefore, worship the same God.

    This is eerily similar to when the Nazis rounded up the Jews and others they deemed inferior, and then they shot them. Later, that was too inefficient, so it was superseded by camps to sort those who could work and those chosen for immediate death.

  7. Richard says

    I don’t understand why they are called extremists? Aren’t these just good, fundamental Muslims doing what Mohammad did and the Koran dictates?

    • ECAW says

      Dec 22, 2014 at 7:53 am

      Quite agree. This is a particular bugbear of mine.

      “Describing jihadi attacks as “extremist” is misleading. They are extreme in their violence, to be sure, but in religious terms they could be better described as “centrist” since the more violently and cruelly believers seek to advance the cause of Islam the closer they are to its centre, the example of Mohammed.”

      Conversely, extremists should be those furthest from the fanatical example of Mohammed ie nominal or cultural Muslims – or as Mohammed would call them hypocrites.
