Cameroon: Islamic jihadists of Boko Haram kidnap 30 people

Feb 9, 2015 2:43 pm By Robert Spencer

boko-haram5Boko Haram is on the march, with no one stopping them, despite many boasts that their end was imminent.

Kidnapping infidels and releasing them for ransom or enslaving them, as well as killing them if that option is deemed most advantageous for the Muslims, is fully sanctioned in Islamic law: “As for the captives, the amir [ruler] has the choice of taking the most beneficial action of four possibilities: the first to put them to death by cutting their necks; the second, to enslave them and apply the laws of slavery regarding their sale and manumission; the third, to ransom them in exchange for goods or prisoners; and fourth, to show favor to them and pardon them. Allah, may he be exalted, says, ‘When you encounter those [infidels] who deny [the Truth=Islam] then strike [their] necks’ (Qur’an sura 47, verse 4)” — Abu’l-Hasan al-Mawardi, al-Ahkam as-Sultaniyyah (The Laws of Islamic Governance), trans. by Dr. Asadullah Yate, (London), Ta-Ha Publishers Ltd., 1996, p. 192.

“Boko Haram abducts 30 people in Cameroon,” ANSA, February 9, 2015:

(ANSA) – Yaounde, February 9 – Nigerian Islamic militants Boko Haram on Monday attacked three towns in Cameroon close to the border with Nigeria, abducting over 30 people, according to residents.

Over the past few days militants from the organization have been increasing attacks in Cameroon and Niger, where the town of Diffa was recently attacked for the third time.

Cameroon just hosted a three-day meeting that wrapped up on Saturday with officials from the African Union and neighbouring countries, to organize a coordinated response against Boko Haram.
Officials pledged to create a task force of some 8,750 troops from Benin, Cameroon, Chad, Niger and Nigeria, which could be deployed as early as next month.

Boko Haram killed a reported 10,000 people in 2014.

The Islamic extremists almost a year ago kidnapped over 200 Nigerian school girls, who are still missing.

    Cameroon, Nigeria, the CAR, what do they matter ? They are not players on the international stage, they have nothing anyone wants, so who gives a damn ?

    Why is the great Nigerian Army unable to track these animals down? It’s their country

      Why doesn’t the Nigerian army address the problem properly? Because the Nigerian army is largely Muslim-dominated – thanks to early post-colonial regimes. They may disagree with the methods of Boko Haram, but they certainly share its goal of re-establishing the Sokoto Caliphate.

    This is exactly the same in the southern Philippines where the abu sayyaf is kidnapping non-muslims for ransom and they get away with it once they escape into the Autonomous Region of Muslim Mindanao.

      Our sunni muslim, communist fake president always manages to get weapons into the hands of the worst islamists possible. As a small but clever start, give small arms covertly to the mothers, daughters, wives in the villages. Kurd women fight like demons against Taliban and isis. What a surprise when these women come out and catch these bastards and kill them all. They need to plan and train and connect each village to one another. Take the guns from the muslims. Take the wounded muslims and torture them until they ask for mercy and give them none. Make every wounded muslim spend days and weeks dying. For the world their should be no mercy, no prisoners, no quarter…..except draw and quarter them. War on islam. Remove it from the earth. Let not one live.

    Wherever Muslims go, they bring death with them

    Lack of willingness and incompetence sums up the Nigerian Army. Chad and Cameroon may be more useful if they get drawn into the conflict.
    Logical solution however may be the partition of the country into two States, the north for muslims and the south for Christians. It’s been tried once before, remember Biafra?
