Boko Haram has pledged allegiance to the Islamic State, and the Islamic State recently called on Muslims everywhere to make this Ramadan “calamity for the infidels … Shi’ites and apostate Muslims. Muslims everywhere, we congratulate you over the arrival of the holy month. Be keen to conquer in this holy month and to become exposed to martyrdom.” It is unlikely that this leprosy hospital was filled with Infidels or Shi’ites, but it may have had in it Muslims who had not declared allegiance to the Islamic State, and were therefore considered to be apostates.
“Five dead in suicide blast at Nigeria leprosy hospital,” AFP, June 28, 2015:
Kano (Nigeria) (AFP) – At least five people have been killed and 10 wounded after a suicide bomber blew himself up outside a leprosy hospital on the outskirts of the northeast Nigerian city of Maiduguri, emergency services said.
The bomber, who tried to gain access to the hospital, detonated his explosives outside the building at around 5:30 pm (1630 GMT) on Saturday.
“Five people were killed and 10 others injured near the Molai leprosy hospital when a male bomber blew himself up,” said Mohammed Kanar, regional coordinator for the National Emergency Management Agency.
“The bomber had wanted to get entry into the hospital but was contemplating how to pass through security checks at the gate when the bomb went off.”
He added: “We took the bodies and the injured to the specialist hospital (in Maiduguri).”
Local resident Ibrahim Bulama said the bomber was one of three men who were dropped off near the hospital by a SUV vehicle.
“They looked around for a while, obviously trying to sneak into the hospital,” Bulama said, adding that the facility was being guarded by civilian vigilantes who are assisting the military in the fight against Boko Haram Islamist insurgents.
“Suddenly, the explosives on one of them went off. The other two fled in the confusion. Five people were killed and 10 others injured.”
There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the bombing, but Nigeria’s Borno state, where the attack took place, has been the hardest hit by the Boko Haram insurgency which has left at least 15,000 people dead….
epistemology says
They’re absolutely deprived of human feelings. This is obviously a jihadi Ramadan competition and Boko Haram doesn’t want to fall behind. Global terror

These people are totally sick. It’s not that they just go and kill innocents all the time – no, they are willing to kill themselves while doing so. How fucking indoctrinated must one be to seriously believe that by killing people one gets to paradise?

In World War II, Japan used Kamikaze pilots to attack American battleships in the Pacific. I had often wondered how anyone had gotten men to do such a bizarre kind of attack. Now we see lots of people, men and women, who attack while committing suicide. Osama bin Laden didn’t deign to do this himself, but sent others to do so while attacking the World Trade Center, the Pentagon, and US93. What craziness!

‘What evil lurks in the hearts of men, only ‘The Shadow’ knows’ and he ain’t talking. Obviously the bombers had something against lepers. I’m not sure what, but it must have been big to call for suicide bombers. Why else would you blow yourself up among lepers if not for something big, like the glory of Allah?
Maybe the answer lays with who owns the hospital…
sencit says
That’s exactly what I was thinking! Leprosy Hospitals are often owned by Christian charities.
Angemon says
Damn it, it didn’t go off soon enough – I’d much rather be reading an article stating that a mosque was blown-up during a bomb-making session gone wrong.

Pure evil. Satan (Allah) is alive and well on earth……
Arthur says
What’s next, a hospice clinic? Talk about looking for easy targets, these jihadis are aiming low even for their morally deplorable low standards.
Celtic says
Next target: An orphanage – and then a hospital station for early born, christian children.
Allahuakbar!

Nigeria court in Kano sentences nine people to death for blasphemy
(c) 2015 BBC News
An Islamic court has sentenced nine people to death for insulting the Prophet Muhammad in the northern Nigerian city of Kano.

This Sharia sentencing is worse than the bomb blast.
Dr Nath says
Mohammed’s , injection in Koran 9 verse 111 is for all Moslems to acknowledge the fact that Allah in his wisdom has purchased the lives and properties of all Moslems and that they in effect should go to kill and get killed and go to Paradise. This injection has become the basis for suicide bombing of people of all ages against a known enemies the Christians and the Jews , the people of true God Jehovah whose son is Christ Jesus though denied by Jews but cannot refute the resurrection and subsequent ascension to establish a Paradise for only the Christian believers.
One wonders which Paradise Mohammed used to deceive the brain washed Moslems without exception whose final place of rest upon death is the available compartment in the Hades. Does someone thing where to spend eternity without Christ. They are breeding kids like rats and forcing themselves to virtually all cities of Christian developed world yet holding tenaciously the deception inoculated and reinforced in all Mosques to consistent wage war yet claiming a religion of peace to deceive the world leaders who are yet to awake to their ambition of exterminating all leaders to establish the world hegemony of Islam. We seek world leaders who will contain beginning from the Islamic aspiration.
