“A military bomb disposal expert has told the AP that most bombs carried by girls and women have remote detonation devices, meaning the carrier cannot control the explosion.” It is likely that the jihadis used these girls as human bombs.
Why would Boko Haram target a mosque? Most likely because Boko Haram has declared its allegiance to the Islamic State, and the mosque hasn’t. Thus the Boko Haram jihadis consider it to be in rebellion against the caliphate, which they consider to be the sole earthly authority to which Muslims owe allegiance.
“30 killed at crowded mosque by 2 young female suicide bombers in northeast Nigeria,” by Haruna Umar, Associated Press, June 22, 2015:
BAUCHI, Nigeria — Two girls blew themselves up on Monday near a crowded mosque in northeast Nigeria’s biggest city, killing about 30 people, witnesses said.
It is the fourth suicide bombing this month in Maiduguri, which is the birthplace of the Boko Haram Islamic extremist group.
Fishmonger Idi Idrisa said one teenager exploded as she approached the mosque crowded with people from the nearby Baga Road fish market, performing afternoon prayers during the holy month of Ramadan.
The second teen appeared to run away and blew up further away, killing only herself, he said.
Civilian defence fighter, Sama Ila Abu, said he counted at least 30 corpses as he helped to collect the dead.
Both men said there were many injured being sent to the hospitals.
Boko Haram has kidnapped hundreds of girls and women and the numbers of female suicide bombers has raised fears that it is using the captives in its campaign.

For the same reason other muslim groups target mosques: they’re deemed to be not muslim enough.

MORE-ISLAMIC-THAN-THOU???
‘Moderate’ Muslims are terrified of becoming the targets of Muslim who are MORE ISLAMIC than they are.
So they are silent. All Muslims are forced by the fear to become LIARS. All of them.
Lynn says
To muslim men women are merely disposable property. It’s way past time to end the Rules of Engagement stopping our military from acting. These women were merely used as bomb fodder.
mortimer says
The rules of engagement can’t be changed without the agreement of the Afghan government. The troops have to be more suspicious and vigilant.
The Afghans are fanatical Muslims and barely educated. Most girls are not in school. The country is coming out of the 7th century…14 centuries is a big leap. The situation will improve over the next 10 years as more women become educated and take a leading role. The girl effect will stop the jihad.
mortimer says
By the way, only military advisers are in Nigeria. The Nigerians are using South African mercenary commandos to attack Boko Haram. The Nigerian Army is dysfunctional.
gerard says
“The Nigerian Army is dysfunctional.”
Just like everthing else Islamic. This highlights the fact that the West could defeat Islam easily if it had the mind/will to do so. Islam continues for as long as Western govs permit it and unfortunately “as long as” is turning out to be very long.
ICH says
One girl ran away. Probably terrified.
NICE RELIGION
mortimer says
All Muslims are terrified. That’s why they don’t leave Islam.
Celtic says
If Europe had politicians who were not working against the best interests of Europe and/or were a little bit educated about the true nature of Islam, Muslims were no longer allowed to migrate to Europe. In addition to that als Mosques who produce Jihadists would be under a big scope and closed immediately if it became clear that inside there were teachings of Jihad.
And of course everyone who had the slightest thing to do with Jihad would be deported at once.
But we all know that this is not the case. Rather they look at events such as this – if they even bother – and then claim “This has nothing to do with Islam”.

jihad suicide bomber murders 30 at crowded mosque that wasn’t Islamic enough
This was a Unicorn slaughter, pure and simple. Reports are that bloody forehead horns flew everywhere, some lodged in the chests of victims like an real bad hornet stingers.
Enough of the bad mouthing of Moderate Moslems in here. The everyday Joe Sixpack Unicorn lives in every bit as much fear as we civilized people. We need to fund programs to provide emotional support to Moderate Moslems throughout the world. Sure, it’ll be expensive, but we’re $120 trillion in debt already so what the heck. To avoid undue offense of the Mujahidin, have the UN administer the expenditures.
The situation is that our only hope is the Unicorns.
Peggy says
So how do you separate the radical from the moderate? They seem to all lie.
Yes, there are some who are afraid but many more are backing sharia. How else do you explain most of our food and other goods are Halal now? Who fights for this?
Why do so many turn out to protest when their Mohammed is insulted but not when so many non Muslims are murdered? Why not protest and say ‘NOT IN OUR NAME'”.
Because they agree with it.
Oliver says
Dr. D.,
I think ( and I am sure most here would agree) that ti would be better if they eradicated each other (IE Muslim vs. Muslim-killing each other) and leave the rest of us alone.
I have mentioned before, I read somewhere-possibly here on JW- not sure- that there are 73 sects and sub-sects of Muslims, and 72 are fraudulent (or some similar meaning word) and they are to kill each other until only one remains. Personally, i would prefer that they kill each other and none remain.
Consider- Hamas and ISIS are fighting each other. Iran and Hezbollah are fighting ISIS. ISIS killed some jihadists in Sinai. But, not enough deaths amongst these slime.
Oliver says
Peggy, somehow, my prior comment was reprinted here. My answer to you was not.
Muslims do not even protest when OTHER MUSLIMS are killed, so long as they are killed by Muslims.
When was the last time the Sunnis protested when Shias were killed or the reverse? (Unless, of course, they were killed by Israelis or westerners).
nacazo says
This story has a couple of strange twists. First the use of females. What? the “brave” boko haram men have run out of male volunteers? usually these jihados will shame females into “volunteer” as human bombs because of something “shameful” that has happened to the female (e.g., a rape).
Then, according to the reports, the bombs were detonated by remote control. If true, technically speaking it was not a suicide but a remote-controlled murder.
Then, one of the “volunteer” female may have not been that willing to participate in the murder so she ran away from people and she was the only casualty. She may have saved lives by running away from people.
Ed says
Basically, she wasn’t a good sex slave, and forced to become a martyr is her punishment. Plus a warning to the other sex slaves.
Ed says
I am concerned, because the victims (kuffars) were not iSSlamic enough.
Will all of them get the complete set of 72 virgins?
Or is it only the murdering musslim who is entitled?
What gender will those virgins be for a female jihadist?
Those who don’t die but are injured, can they eat during the day?
If so, do they get to make up for the lost days?
Shouldn’t they rename this holiday to Ram-a-BAM? Ram-a-Slam?
Oliver says
It is my understanding, that since females are worth only (as per Muslims) 1/4 to 1/2 the value of a male, they would get 18 (1/4 of 72) to 36 ( 1/2 of 72)- and since homosexuality if (officially frowned upon) studs (not the type that are in snow tires in the snow belt- the male variety).
just what i heard/read and makes as much sense as the rest of Islam
mortimer says
“Two girls blew themselves up”
I question that. Did the girls know they were carrying a bomb? Perhaps not.
The jihadists often use children as carriers and detonate them using a cell phone. They often use mentally ill or low intelligence carriers whom they consider expendable.
MUSLIMS, is this your religion?
Gary says
Child trafficking in Iran. Children used as human bombs in Africa.
OH MUSLIM! I ask you……
WHERE IS YOUR OUTCRY REGARDING HUMAN RIGHTS!!!
WHY DO YOU REMAIN SILENT?
If your god – allah is so good.
Is it because you’re afraid to insult your god?
Is it because you fear your god?
Why does the Christian God say….
“Behold I stand at the door and knock: : if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.”
That doesn’t sound like a God that will IMPOSE His will on anyone?
Is your allah really the God of the Universe?
If so….
Why is he using children to murder?
Why is he so cruel?
Why is he always murdering, torturing, enslaving?
Is it because he’s the Father of all lies, who comes to rob, steal, kill, and destroy, and his name is Satan?
Walter Sieruk says
As for female suicide/homicide bombers one reason that they engage in that folly and madness of such murderous bombing is because they are very deluded. That is they are under the Islamic deception of the Muslim clerics, such as the imams. Those imams with their lines and lies ,such as “We will honor you.” and You will go to paradise.” and “We are doing thing for Allah.” Some some strange kind of “We” the reader might notice that those Muslim clerics who do the brainwashing are never the ones who actually go out and commit the suicide bombings. These Muslim clerics just mind program and then use other people a tools and stooges to do the bombing for the jihad Then all the while those suicide/homicide attacks are going on those same imams just sit home safe.That alone says a lot about the real character of those Muslim clerics.
Reyhan says
“The second teen appeared to run away and blew up further away, killing only herself, he said.”
I want to know this young woman’s story. Did she not know what her fate was to be, and run away when she saw the other girl get detonated? Or did she know what she was being used for and decide not to participate?
Rolf Wittwer says
One day mass of “Muslims” will begin to leave Islam.
They will overcome death as penalty for apostasy.
nicu says
And in our countries they DEMAND to respect Ramadan !
They go on killing , raping etc . like before .
They want respect – then they should work on it to get it .
Cancer of the world !
gerard says
MohamMAD. RaMADan. IslamaBAD.
Well they got a few things right anyway!
Matthieu Baudin says
Disgusting swine!
albert says
These girls were probably not suicide bombers, the fact that one ran away indicates that they were used as bombs under duress, during the Bosnian conflict Christian Serbs complained that some of their women had been taken captive and sent back to Serb lines as human bombs to be detonated remotely as the Serbs tried to rescue them, but NATO forces claimed it was Serb propaganda.
frederick c king says
I love it when suicide bombers, such as the girl here, blow themselves up, and don’t get anyone. Does she still get her grand prize when she gets to paradise?
