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

Nigeria: Boko Haram top dog says, “We killed the people of Baga. We indeed killed them, as our Lord instructed us in His Book.”

Jan 22, 2015 12:12 pm By Robert Spencer

boko-haram-shekauThe book to which Abubakar Shekau is referring is, of course, the Qur’an. Somehow he got the crazy, Islamophobic idea that it calls for the murder of unbelievers. No doubt Barack Obama is on his way to Nigeria right now, to warn Shekau that he has to stop perpetuating “offensive stereotypes of Muslims.”

“Boko Haram claims Baga massacre and threatens Nigeria’s neighbours,” Agence France Presse, January 20, 2015:

Boko Haram’s leader Abubakar Shekau has claimed responsibility for the recent massacre of hundreds of people in the northeast Nigerian town of Baga and made renewed threats to neighbouring Niger, Chad and Cameroon in a video published online on Tuesday.

The message came as Nigerian leaders met their regional counterparts in Niger’s capital, Niamey, to discuss a regional response to the threat and Chadian troops headed to Cameroon to help repel repeated Boko Haram attacks.

The US president Barack Obama discussed the Nigerian crisis with French president francois Hollande on Tuesday, Reuters reported.

The White House said the pair spoke about the situation in a telephone call, agreeing to work with other countries to help Nigeria hold credible and peaceful elections and to support a regional strategy to counter Boko Haram.

“Heavy clashes” between Islamist fighters and Cameroon soldiers were reported in the far northern border village of Bonderi on Tuesday night.

Hundreds of people, if not more, are feared to have been killed in the attack on Baga, a fishing town on the shores of Lake Chad, in what could be the militants’ worst in their six-year rebellion.

The rebels burnt large parts of the town to the ground after taking control in early January. They then razed at least 16 surrounding settlements, forcing tens of thousands to flee their homes, many of them into Chad and Niger.

“We killed the people of Baga. We indeed killed them, as our Lord instructed us in His Book,” Shekau said in the 35-minute message, which was obtained by AFP….

    “The White House said the pair spoke about the situation in a telephone call, agreeing to work with other countries to help Nigeria hold credible and peaceful elections…”

    In the eyes of Obama, credible and peaceful elections MUST end up with Boko Haram ruling the country.
    In the case of Egypt, it was the Muslim Brotherhood.
    In the case of Iraq and Syria, it must be ISIS.
    Obama is in bed with the enemy, he *is* our #1 enemy.

    It baffles me that anyone could be inspired to heed such a call to action. No room for thinking. No room for soul-searching or empathy. Who in their right mind behaves this way? It’s not human. It’s savage.

      Not human. And if not human, do they have human rights?

    “We indeed killed them, as our Lord instructed us in His Book.”

    Well…that’s a mouthful.

    Now, who’s going to send a missile to Shekau to stop his genocidal career as the UN protocol on genocide instructs us to do?

    Clearly, this is the result of propaganda from american islamophobes…

    Well, if the book says to do it, you must do it. No matter how much you don’t want to do it, that doing it makes you sick, you must force yourself to do it anyway. I know it’s hard for you to kill all those people, but the book must be obeyed. It’s really not your fault. Read verse 8:17 in the book, and you will feel much better about murdering people.

    This man needs to be killed in the name of humanity.
    Rolled up in pig skin with a dead dog and buried face down.
    You won’t have to kill the dog. there are plenty of them laying around Africa. Yes I know, Too bad for the dog, it deserves better. But, some one has to take one for team humanity.

    Nigeria: Boko Haram top dog says, “We killed the people of Baga. We indeed killed them, as our Lord instructed us in His Book.”

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Your “Lord” is not the one true God, and “His Book” is the unholy quran …

    And:

    “You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father’s desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies.” — John 8:44

      …John 8:44 is from the word of God.

    Maybe Abubakar Shekau was just trying to find a sandwich shop? We need Affleck in there with a few boxes of Subway foot longs. That’ll put an end to all this misunderstanding of the ROP ™.
