For the caliphate, now as throughout history, might makes right. The longer the Islamic State lasts, the more loyalty it will win among Muslims. The Islamic State now has the allegiance of jihad groups in the Philippines, Libya, and Nigeria, as well as control of a large area of Iraq and Syria.
“Boko Haram declares allegiance to Isis,” The Guardian, March 7, 2015 (thanks to Kenneth):
Nigeria’s militant Islamist group Boko Haram has pledged allegiance to Islamic State, which rules a self-declared caliphate in parts of Iraq and Syria, according to a video posted online on Saturday.
“We announce our allegiance to the Caliph … and will hear and obey in times of difficulty and prosperity,” read an English-language translation of the video broadcast in Arabic that purported to be from the Nigerian militant group. The pledge of allegiance was attributed to Boko Haram leader Abubakar Shekau.
The video script identified the Caliph as Ibrahim ibn Awad ibn Ibrahim al-Awad al-Qurashi, who is better known as Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the leader of Islamic State and self-proclaimed caliph of the Muslim world. Baghdadi has already accepted pledges of allegiance from other jihadist groups in the Middle East, Afghanistan, Pakistan and north Africa.
Boko Haram has been waging a six-year military campaign to carve out an Islamic state in northern Nigeria.
Earlier on Saturday, four bomb blasts killed at least 50 people in the northeastern Nigerian city of Maiduguri in the worst attacks there since Boko Haram militants tried to seize the town in two major assaults earlier this year. Female suicide bombers believed to be acting for the group launched a series of attacks in markets, while another detonation was reported at a bus station.
In a fifth incident, a car bomb exploded at a military checkpoint 75km outside the city, wounding a soldier and two members of a civilian defence unit. The attacker in this incident had wanted to reach Maiduguri, a police officer at the scene said. In total, it is believed 58 people have been killed in the incidents and 143 wounded, but both figures were expected to rise….
Jay Boo says
NPR being afraid of the label Islamophobia will interview Nigerian spokespersons with Muslim names in order to slant the topic to exclusively blaming the Nigerian government for ‘ineffectiveness’ against Boko Haram while simultaneously accusing Nigerian forces of human rights abuses against Boko Haram militants.

“The longer the Islamic State lasts, the more loyalty it will win among Muslims.” Consider also that the more victory and power it attains, the more changing from moderate Muslims to blood-shedding jihadists it will gain.
Darren says
You are right, many moderate muslims want to go back to the golden era of islam, and get in touch with their inner mohammad. The golden era of islam to muslims is of course when islam was conquering large parts of the world, they never tell naive westerners this part when talking about it.
Joe Shmo says
“Consider also that the more victory and power it attains, the more changing from moderate Muslims to blood-shedding jihadists it will gain.”
True, but in a perverse way, this might be the better way. The sooner the confrontation between freedom and an unmasked Islam takes place in the West, the better it will be for all of us. After all, the longer we wait the stronger and more entrenched Islam will become in our countries. The sooner, the better.
I’ve also noticed the Islamic State have made it much easier for me to persuade people that Islam isn’t peace and love and that they should go find out about this evil belief system for themselves.
roger woodhouse says
Not untill our ‘leaders’ here in the west and Britain in particular start to assert the preference of ‘our way of life’ and the Judeo /Christian religion we have adopted for over a thousand years with the peace and properity that has brought us can we ever begin the fight back against this violent cult. How many more innocent people being slaughtered will it take for them to wake up? The time is fast approaching that ‘conditions ‘ for living here will have to be made followed by ultimatums . This must happen sooner rather than later The Muslim community have brought it upon themselves. They must speak up against this barbaric cult or be assumed part of the problem.

Obola, YOU own this along with ALL you DONKEY and RINO enablers. How does it feel to support da BEAST?

So the ‘Abeed Brotherhood of Raisin Heads’, signs up It was bound to happen, they were joined at the hip by ummah anyway.
Jay Boo says
“Raisin Heads”???
A friendly reminder to reference the Islamic source lest the cockroach trolls misinterpret your comment as endorsement for their misguided agenda.
Muhammad and his Klan were so ignorant that they did not realize that (kinky hair or strait hair) or (black skin or white skin) are mere superficial variations of the same thing.
If Muhammad had truly believed in God, he would have understood this implicitly.
duh_swami says
A friendly reminder…You worry about your posts and I will worry about mine…That’s pretty friendly, ainit?
Jay Boo says
Fine, given that reply, I will assume then that your open ambiguity was likely intentional.
Very clever.

I believe that we will be held to higher standards then those who practice and/or bend over backwards for Islam.

Thank you for that great link Vickie. I should forward it to Obama, Kerry, Cameron and to the liberal Left.

This is *very* true, vicki.
Bernard Lewis is yet another apologist for islam. He thinks it’s compatible with Western democracy.

Islam, the death cult continues to kill. The Islamic barbarians will not stop until they are stopped. Deal with them as we dealt with the Nazis
mortimer says
Western politicians have not yet realized that ISIS is normative Islam, rather than an aberration.
Shmooviyet says
Will someone here please clear this up? I thought ISIS came out with some sort of statement denying these African terrorist cruds, saying the blacks were beneath them. Am I mistaken?
jay says
Probably some libtard convinced them to diversify. Works in our favor as we know what that does.
mortimer says
Report yourself to diversity officer now for reeducation! You are expressing doubt in the doctrine of multiculturalism.
Darren says
The diversity officers aren’t strong enough, what this situation calls for is a Grammaton Cleric.
Charli Main says
Literally tens of millions of black skinned Africans were taken as slaves into Arab Muslims countries over the last 1400 years, yet walk through any Arab country today and seeing a black skinned person will be a rarity.
Why ???? because male black slaves were castrated so they couldn´t breed and black female slaves that became pregnant by their Arab masters had their children disposed off.
Blacks were not required to breed to maintain a supply of slaves because Arab slavers just popped over Africa and got a fresh supply when required.
Beats the hell out of me, why any black African would be a rabid supporter and defender of Islam.
Darren says
If the situation wasn’t so serious it would be funny. Seeing a black muslim is like seeing a black KKK member, it reminds me of that skit Dave Chapel used to do, where he was a blind black KKK member and didn’t know he was black, it was hilarious.
johnp says
Maiduguru is a town with a significant Christian population. There is a diocesan cathedral and four Catholic churches in the town and another 30 in the surrounding province. Makes it a prime target for the Islamists.
blahblahgrama says
Jockeying for position. It’s called the ‘beast is rising’. You won’t see the full force of this until the Caliph contest is final and the winner starts the final jihad. Turkey is a dark horse in the race. ISIS is pulling ahead right now. Iran took the lead around the last lap with Obama giving them full rein. The only thing that will stop this is the Messiah riding his white horse and destroying them all with the breath of His mouth.
Hans says
Black and Slave is the same word in arabic countrys…perhaps they don´t know…
Walter Sieruk says
An important question: is the Quran the Word of God or is it a fabrication of a man. Thus, is the Quran the truth or a fiction and a hoax? The jihadists use many verses from the Quran as the main source of justification for their violence, mayhem and murders. There, the question is clearly given on pages 145 through 157 in THE ISLAMIC INVASION by Robert Morey in which he wrote a section on the Quran with its self-contradictions. Just two of the many he cited are the following “The Quran differs on whether a day is a thousand years or fifty thousand years in God’s sight’ and “Who was first to believe? Abraham or Moses [Sura 6:14 versus 7:143]? The above is inconsistent and illogical. Further, Morey wrote about “The fact that Judaism and Christianity broke up into different sects was used in the Quran to prove that they are not of God [Suras 30:20-32. 42:13, 14]. Yet Islam has broken up into many warring sects and therefore cannot be true if the Quran is right.” Moreover, Morey in his book shows many more contradictions and absurdities in the Quran, there are and how Muhammad incorporated extra Biblical and Jewish folklore along with pre-Islamic Arabian myth and parts of Zoroastrian and Hindu stories into the Quran. Furthermore, the Muslims claim that “the Quran is the direct, literal word of God unmodified in any way by the Prophet who uttered them at the bidding of God.” Nevertheless, in the book UNVEILING ISLAM by Ergun Mehmet and Eethi Caner has shown that the Quran was modified in the following account on pages 45. “Muhammad felt the need to improve on the words of Allah, since he changed Allah’s wisdom for his own on several occasions. A hadith tells of the nonchalant emendations of Muhammad:’ On a number of occasions he [a scribe] had, with the Prophet’s consent changed the closing words of verses. For example, when the prophet had said ‘God is mighty and wise ‘ Adbollah b. Abi Sarh suggested writing down ‘Knowing and wise’ and the Prophet answered that there was no objection. Having observed a succession of changes of this type, Adbollah renounced Islam on the grounds that revelations, if from God could not be changed at the prompting of a scribe such as himself. After his apostasy he went to Mecca and joined the Qorayshites.’ Other writers reveal that later Muhammad and his people did go war with the Qorayshites and he personally killed Abdollah. Obviously Abdollah knew too much and Muhammad wanted Abdollah’s knowledge to die with him.” In conclusion, the Quran is not only a fiction, it’s also a hoax.

Khalifa Barry, Eric the Terror Enabler, Imam Sharpton, “revs” Wright and Fairy-con must be having Gorbasmsn as they await the uprising of their local Harem Bozos!
If the local anti-US haters don’t not rise up sufficiently, will the islamo-marxist regime bring the Harem Bozos to advance their unholy koranic mission here in the former good old USA?
Barry will defeat isis ?? Is that bridge in Brooklyn still for sale? First he must dissolve the USA, isolate and eradicate Israel, remove Sisi and put his allies, the moslemated brotherly punks and hoods, in power in Egypt. Lots on his plate, so Barry will not be leaving the WH any time in the near future!
Marco says
You have named my biggest fear. I expect the “expanded rights” he advised us he was taking to include awarding himself another term. He hates Sisi, Netanyahu, and Putin and must see them put down. Putin is a thug but the other two are our hope.

“Boko Haram leader pledges allegiance to the Islamic State”

Uncle Vladdi says
Group-Might-Makes-Right criminal extortion has defined islam from its miscreation.
Here’s islam’s “holy Message from god” as exemplified by the collective words and deeds of it’s Founder:
“I will save humanity by lying to, extorting, torturing, robbing, burning out of their homes, kidnapping and ransoming, enslaving, raping and murdering everyone who even only verbally disagrees with me – and you can, too!”
– Muhammad –
Muhammad was really only a con-man and bandit-king, an arch-criminal who always blamed “god” for his own penchant for committing crimes. If Moe got away with committing a crime (and he tried them all, enthusiastically, more than once, but instead of ever showing contrition, bragged about how much fun it was to commit them, and advised everyone else to join in the fun, too), then it was held to be “obvious” that “god” wanted him to get away with having committed those crimes!
So, islam is not a “religion” (at all, much less one “of peace”) nor is it a “race” (at all, much less one of “Poor, Oppressed, People Of Colour”)!
Obviously, islam is ONLY an ancient, ongoing extortion-racket CRIME-syndicate, and the only “religious” part in it, is where they say:
“God told us to commit these crimes!”
(Capisce?)!
