Islamic State in Nigeria murders 10 with jihad suicide bomb in mosque

May 30, 2015 3:34 pm By Robert Spencer

bombing_in_MaiduguriBoko Haram has pledged allegiance to the Islamic State’s caliph. Why would they set off a suicide bomb in a mosque? Because the Muslims inside must have opposed them, and the caliphate, thereby placing themselves in a state of war against Allah and his messenger.

“Nigeria mosque suicide bomb kills 10 in Maiduguri city,” Independent, May 30, 2015:

A suspected suicide bomber has blown himself up inside a mosque in Nigeria’s Maiduguri city killing 10 people, a hospital source said, after an attack by Boko Haram insurgents on the outskirts.

The attacks occurred a day after the inauguration of President Muhammadu Buhari, who swore to crush the Islamist militant group and move the command centre for military operations away from the capital Abuja to Maiduguri.

“A male bomber suspected to be Boko Haram is said to have entered a mosque near the (Monday) Market to detonate,” a military source said.

A military source said the early morning shooting took place around the Damboa road near the small settlement of Mule, about 10 km (6 miles) from Maiduguri, a city of two million people.

“A rocket launcher from Boko Haram hit a house around the Bulumkutu area…and killed five people. Our boys also picked up six corpses in different locations,” local militia member Mohammed Bunu said.

The militants tried to cross trenches dug around the city, he said.

These attacks follow twin bomb blasts early on Friday in Tashan Alade, a remote Borno town, which killed at least seven people.

Thousands have been killed and about 1.5 million displaced during Boko Haram’s six-year-old insurgency to carve out a state adhering to strict Islamic law in Nigeria, Africa’s biggest economy and top oil producer. At the start of the year, it controlled a swathe of territory larger than Belgium in the northeast of the country.

Boko Haram has since been pushed back with the help of offensives launched by troops from Chad and Niger while Cameroon has fought them off along its borders.

As feared, the group is showing a return to its guerrilla tactics since losing the territory it gained last year. It maintains a last stronghold in the Sambisa forest reserve.

“They may resort to more spectacular brutality against soft targets to maintain relevance as Al Shabaab has in Kenya,” a western diplomat in the capital Abuja said….

    Muslims killing other muslims for not being muslim enough – gee, what a surprise! “Religion of peace” indeed…

      Agree. ‘Hypocrites’ aren’t Muslim enough. Anyone who resists the FULLNESS of Islamic jihad is resisting…even fighting…jihad. They must be killed.

      THE REASONS THERE ARE FEW MODERATE MUSLIMS:

      -Kufrul-Istibdaal: one who rejects or tries to reform Allah’s laws to suit the changing zeitgeist or for their own personal needs.
      -Kufrul-Nifaaq: one who pretends to believe but conceals his disbelief, referred to as munafiq or hypocrite and will be in the lowest level of Hell (Q4:145)
      -Kufrul-I’raadh: one who avoids for their own convenience practicing the religion of Islam yet is informed about its truth

      -“Jihad is holy fighting in Allah’s Cause with full force of numbers and weaponry. It is given the utmost importance in Islam and is one of its pillars. By Jihad Islam is established, Allah’s Word is made superior (which means only Allah has the right to be worshiped), and Islam is propagated. By abandoning Jihad Islam is destroyed and Muslims fall into an inferior position; their honor is lost, their lands are stolen, their rule and authority vanish. Jihad is an obligatory duty in Islam on every Muslim. He who tries to escape from this duty, or does not fulfill this duty, dies as a hypocrite.” – Definition of jihad from p580 of Sahih Al-Bukhar, publ. by Maktba Dar-us-Salam

      -Muhammad Abdul Wahab said in his famous treatise The Ten Contradictions: “whosoever does not regard a kafir as a kafir or a polytheist as a kafir or did not try to correct them is himself a kafir.”

      -Sharia law/Reliance of the Traveller/P64.2/5- “The thing I fear most for my Community is the eloquent hypocrite.”

      -“The Koran directly commands us to commit terrorism, so why are we afraid of it?” proclaimed Egyptian MP Ragab Hilal Hamida in the Egyptian Parliament.
      http://libertygb.org.uk/v1/index.php/home/root/news-libertygb/6653-i-fought-back

      -“If someone dies without participating in Jihad and not having the Intention of ever doing Jihaad, he has died on a branch of Hypocrisy (Nifaaq)” – Ibn Taymiyyah

    Why would they set off a suicide bomb in a mosque?
    …………………….

    Three possibilities: one, the Mosque in question was “other sect”—i.e., Sunnis targeting Shi’ites or some other “heretical” sect, or vice versa; two, this Mosque is more “moderate” than is Boko Haram and ISIS; three, the Mosque is no more moderate than is the Islamic State, but they believe that other Muslim thugs—such as themselves—should be heading the “Caliphate”.

    All of these groups groups, through the handy Islamic doctrine of “Takfir”, can be regarded as virtual non-Muslims, and hence fair game for just the sort of savagery and murder we see in the story, above.

      Four, it was a false flag operation to incite Muslims against Christians.
      Muslims have been known to peddle absurd conspiracy theories blaming we infidels for their violence.

    I would hope that when the military, or police or whomever captures ANY OF THESE CREEPS, the hell with a trial and hang them afterwards, just kill them, then hang their bodies on the biggest tree around.

    or, hang them -while they are still alive, and let them die while hanged. (In the past, many if not most of those hanged died of a broken neck when the rope was dropped, not of strangulation).

    This way, they might suffer more.

    And possibly smear them with something to make them look good enough to meat to vultures, hawks or some other bird-preferably one that is strong.

    In Islam’s Bloody Cult (NOT a “Religion”) of Murder and Butchery there are NO “Moderate Muslims” ! Moderate Islam is an Insult to Islam : The Cultural Muslim.

    Islam is REALLY the “Religion of World Domination, Territorial Acquisition and HATE”.

    Islam, contrary to Islam’s “Religion of Peace”, “Grand Deception and Lie”, Rhetoric of Taqiyya and Kitman, Islam’s Condoned Deception to advance the cause Islam , by gaining the trust of non-believers in order to draw out their vulnerability and defeat them, Islam was NEVER a ‘Religion of Peace’, according to Muslims.

    In the Words of ISIS Caliph Abu Bakr al_Baghdadi:
    “There is no excuse for any Muslim not to migrate to the Islamic State… joining [its fight] is a duty on every Muslim. We are calling on you either to join or carry weapons [to fight] wherever you are.”
    He adds: “Islam was never a religion of peace. Islam is the religion of fighting. No-one should believe that the war that we are waging is the war of the Islamic State. It is the war of all Muslims, but the Islamic State is spearheading it. It is the war of Muslims against infidels.”
    IS declared a “caliphate” over parts of Iraq and Syria in June 2014.

    The speaker in the message says: “There is no might nor honour nor safety nor rights for you except in the shade of the caliphate.”eader Baghdadi Claims “Islam Was Never a Religion of Peace”.
