Clearly Boko Haram, the Congregation of the People of the Sunnah for Dawah and Jihad, can act with impunity in Nigeria. Despite the government’s numerous vows to eradicate the group, it has not been able to do anything to stop it.
“Boko Haram seizes military base in Nigeria: witnesses,” AFP, January 4, 2015 (thanks to C. Cantoni):
KANO (NIGERIA) (AFP) – Suspected Boko Haram militants have seized a military base outside the Nigerian town of Baga near Lake Chad after engaging troops in a fierce battle that lasted several hours, witnesses said on Sunday.
“They (the militants) overwhelmed the troops and forced them to abandon the base which the gunmen took over,” local resident Usman Danssubdu told AFP after fleeing to neighbouring Chad following Saturday’s raid….

I think that the US still does not provide arms to Nigeria to combat Boko Haram. That’s because, for John Kerry, common sense is haram.

”I think that the US still does not provide arms to Nigeria to combat Boko Haram.’
It would be dropping them into the arms of mohammedans. The Nigerian military, and the government also, is infested with mohammedans.
The only people the US should be supplying with arms are the **Christians**, and training them, also.

It would be better to arm atheistic capitalists, esp. if they’re hostile to Keynesinism. A nice side effect would be the hysterical howls of protest from secular humanists and other leftist vermin.

Unfortunately, that’s exactly the people the US government deems as potential terrorists. Not muslims, whose theology promotes and glorifies religoius war against non-muslims, but christians, on the account that some fringe off-shots of the Protestant Church act in unchristian ways.

Nigeria has an American-style constitution which breaks down when large numbers of Muslim supremacists work against it.
Nigeria’s 50% Muslim population is not opposing Boko Haram, either out of fear or out of sympathy.

Maybe the USA is funding Boko Haram, just like some reports suggest that they are funding ISIS

Maybe muslims should get their heads of their turd cutters instead of inventing and propagating conspiracy theories. Everything is always USA’s fault, right? RIGHT???

We all know about the infiltration of the Muslim Brotherhood in almost all levels of the US government, including the WH.
We also know that Boko Haram, ISIL, al Qaeda, etc. are offshoots of this islamic international terrorist organisation.
While many Middle Eastern countries are starting to wake up to the dangers of the MB, this administration have repeatedly refused to distance itself from it.
Michele Bachmann once wrote:
“If the decision of the interim government of Egypt is to consider the organisation of the Muslim Brotherhood a terrorist organisation, then the United States should follow.” (Michele Bachmann)

Where in N. America are Muslims stockpiling weapons, ammunition, and other supplies?

Mosques

They only have twenty two jihadi training camps so far in the US.

I think, for the sake of diversity, that should be quadrupled at least.

Every time I see this photo of this Chimp, I want to shoot him in the mouth.

Well, every time *I* see this photo, I think back to when the late, great Ayatollah Kohmeini said there is no fun in Islam. Hey, the Boko leader dude in the middle of the photo is having a blast. And you can bet with the capture of the base and all its weapons and ammo, he’s guffawing mightily now.
MKG says
Don’t forget all the little girls the scumbag is raping.
Alarmed Pig Farmer says
Which is one of the reasons he’s laughing. To a devout Moslem, raping a little girl Infidel is fun.
MKG says
Nigerian goverent bad, Boko Haram worse. Executive Outcomes would have had this mess straightened out a long time ago.
umbra says
Too bad EO is no longer operating.
MKG says
Yes it’s a real shame. They knew how to get the job done.

The left would have us believe that there are only a few Islamic terrorists and the rest of them are peaceful. Amazing how a few fringe extremists can take over a military base in Nigeria. IT’s amazing how a few extremists have taken over large parts of Iraq and Syria as well. Those Muslim extremists must be supermen!
MKG says
Supermen? No. They are just men. The main difference between us and them is they have religious zeal. They are encouraged and they are convinced that killing non-muslims is their moral obligation. That gives them the will to commit these horrible acts against their fellow man. The soldiers of various nations lack that zeal. They are just being paid to serve their leaders, and in many cases their leaders are corrupt and not worth giving your oath to. In addition These extremists think there is paradise waiting for them at the end of the road where others fear damnation in hell for killing. When it comes to conflicts in the past, the more morality the combatants felt, the bloodier the conflict. After all, the nazis felt their actions were entirely moral and just. The soviets felt the same. What the peaceful religious of the world lack is that willpower. Perhaps the west and the far east will find the will to stop the spread of islam just in the name of humanity. Perhaps the only way to stop them is by another form of extremism. The problem with that is, what kind of extremism? Ultimately muslims bleed just like the rest of us. All that is lacking is the motivation.
