Boko Haram leader Abubakar Shekau has already pledged allegiance to the Islamic State. Now he is solidifying the alliance. “Boko Haram: Terrorist group changes name to ‘Islamic State in West Africa,’” by ‘Jola Sotubo, Pulse, April 23, 2015:
According to reports, Boko Haram has changed its name to ‘Islamic State in West Africa.’
The group is said to have released new photos of its members and announced its new name, BBC Africa reports.
Boko Haram pledged its allegiance to fellow terrorist group, Islamic State (ISIS) in March 2015.
ISIS accepted the pledge and encouraged members to extend operations to West Africa.
Meanwhile, the Nigerian military has said that the terrorists within the country have run out of arms and ammunition.

I love this photo. Maybe Shekau didn’t get the memo when the great Ayatollah Khomeini pronounced that there is not fun in Islam. Shekau is having fun, lotsa fun. My theory is his laughter was in celebration of kidnapping 219 pubescent school girls to sell into sex slavery. Business is good; business is fun. Islam is a business, it always has been. When the Holy Prophet kidnapped all those young girls from Banu Qurayzay to sell into sex slavery, he was not only doing business, he was having fun. And pedophile sex.
Shekau musta rolled in laughter when he read about the sex slavery scandal recently exposed in England. Oh, how sweet the irony must have been for this mujahidin revolutionary leader.

It is like when Ameribank changed its name to Bank of America — how lovely. Except like you said this will probably make them feel better about their sex-slavery kidnappings. They have proved they have gone legitimate with this name change. In the perverted and sick world of Islamism this is a smart branding move. Barbarism and savagery knows no bounds in the name of Islamism. And they go out of their way to make sure you know that they are proud of it. That is how they recruit the 72-virgin-hungry douch-bags.

The disease renamed is still the same old disease…It’s called Allahphrenia, nothing will change except the name, and a different address of headquarters….

Consitency is key. For example, even though the name is now Islamic State in West Africa, you can bet the rule is still Boko Haram, as in Book Bad. And the Book Bad rule of course does not include the Holy Ko-Ran and the Hah-Deaths, those two books along with the Shariah books and the sacralized Islamiic history books be good.

ISIS is now a Franchise!
I only have one question for Abubakar Shekau – can I get a double cheeseburger, and some fries with that?
Don McKellar says
I personally want to see the battle raging more in the Middle East than in Africa — haven’t they had it hard enough there over the years? I want to see every moslem country in the Middle East collapse into civil war and chaos as the moslems attack each other, killing and destroying — over absolutely nothing of any real, authentic importance. Syria, Iraq, Yemen — let’s see some more of that. Satan/Allah/Ba’al commands it, you retards.

Crying and Whining “Racist”, “Bigoted” and “Islamophobe” NO longer works for Islam, as in the very appropriate words of BNI, “It Isn’t Islamophobia When they really ARE trying to kill you”.
Islam – which itself feels that IT has the “Allah, Mohammed, and Qur’an given DUTY” to “Blaspheme”, and make “Racist” and “Bigotred” statements about ANY Religion, Faith, Belief, or Prophet that is NOT Islamic, with expected Impunity, while ITSELF demanding FORCED World “Blasphemy Laws”, with Criminal Punishment, for ANYONE who “Blasphemes” Islam or their Prophet Mohammed.
Islam – which wants FORCED Islamic Law WORLD WIDE, first if possible through the “Grand Deception” Taqyyia and Kitman (Islamic approved Lying and Deception) that advance the cause Islam by gaining the trust of non-believers (the Infidels), in order to draw out their vulnerability and defeat them), HOWEVER if NOT possible, THEN through FORCED Islamic Jihad.
Islam – which considers Islamic Law as “Supreme” (which IS Antithetical to the U.S. Constitution), even over the United states Constitution – which IS America’s “Law of the Land”.
Islam – which considers THEIR “Holy Book” the Qur’an as “Supreme”, THEIR Allah the ONLY “God”, and THEIR Mohammed the ONLY “Prophet”, and REFUSES to abide by the Laws of ANY Country.
During the Nazi Days of WW2, the Nazis attempted to hide their Atrocities, and claim that the reports are only “Propaganda” and it isn’t really happening.
However NOW in the 21st Century Islam’s Islamist “Islamo Nazi’s” BOAST about their Atrocities, and OPENLY Post the Pictures, therefore it IS well DOCUMENTED throughout the World
Therefor Islam’s Islamists, and Groups such as CAIR, ISNA, ICNA, MSA, et. al., can no longer adequately refute the direct EVIDENCE and claim that it doesn’t occur (unless they want to try to laughingly claim “Foolish INFIDEL – Just DON’T believe your Lying Eyes and Lying Ears”), even though the Islamist Jihadist’s still incessantly try, and play the “Victim Card” for themselves.
Also, by attempting to pass the buck by Blaming Christians for performing such acts during the 7th Century Crusades against Muslims, who WERE ALSO performing those acts to the Christians, BUT Christians who btw have NOT for Centuries and do NOT perform such acts TODAY in the 21st Century, while Muslins STILL DO perform such acts TODAY in the 21st Century, and now OPENLY BOAST about it.
Thanks to News Services, which POST the TRUTH and the EVIDENCE for the World to see (which the Islamic Jihadists are Feverously and Vigorously attempting to Defame and Shut Down), such as “Jihad Watch”, “Creeping Sharia”, “BNI – Bare Naked Islam”, “WND – World Press – World Net Daily”, “Front Page Magazine”, “Muslim Watch”, “The Muslim Issue”, “Pamela Geller Atlas Shrugs”, “Anti CAIR”, “American Freedom Defense Initiative”, “Freedom is Just Another Word, – et. al.

“Meanwhile, the Nigerian military has said that the terrorists within the country have run out of arms and ammunition.”
Probably best not to believe this statement…

Will it be one day “Islamic State in Europe”, “In America”? …

With Obama in the WH I would not doubt it. m

I am sooo disappointed.
Boko Haram has such a nice “feel” to it. Short, catchy and infused with lower class stupidity.
Book Bad, a perfect, descriptive name for a group of ignorant gutter thugs.
Abubakar’s funky and unique “mom and pop” outfit has been sold out to the walmart of Jihad.
Bawa Olodomor says
Boko Haram means no West not no Book, its a rejection of The Colonizers ways! Yet it was born out of the Mestie movement from the mid 80’s, only its leader was a Quraanist Populist who rallied the Poor along Puritanical lines, Nigeria fearing a second Bafir Type Civil war, attacked the Mestie and killed many of its leaders…
Mestie was anti all things Western all things unAfrican their children and grand children are today Boko Haram part one
