Nigeria: Islamic State in West Africa murders 29 villagers in Christian enclaves

Jul 29, 2015 10:43 am By Robert Spencer

Nigerian ChristiansBoko Haram pledged allegiance to the Islamic State last February and changed its name to the Islamic State in West Africa last April. The murder of these 29 Christians will pass unnoticed by their brethren in the West, since, you know, talking about it could harm “Muslim-Christian dialogue.” The weak and pusillanimous Christian leaders of the West, bleating “Be Not Afraid” while they cower in fear, will not be remembered favorably by free Christians of the future, if there are any.

“Boko Haram kill 29 villagers in northeast Nigeria: Report,” PTI, July 29, 2015 (thanks to Lookmann):

Lagos: Witnesses say Boko Haram extremists shot and killed 29 people in two Christian enclaves of northeast Nigeria.

Yesterday’s was the latest in a spate of attacks that have killed hundreds in recent weeks and spilled across Nigeria’s borders.

Resident Paul Ali Dille said today that most people in Dille village ran but those who could not were gunned down and many homes were set ablaze.

Villagers said the extremists last night attacked nearby Mwuthamam village. It is still not known how many people were killed.

Survivors said a woman suicide bomber blew herself up at a busy market in northeastern Damaturu town on Sunday, killing 15 people and wounding 50.

On Friday the target was Maikadiri village, where witnesses said at least 14 people died and 500 cows were slaughtered.

    Is there a link between the ‘FATIHA’ prayer and DISCRIMINATION AGAINST CHRISTIANS?

    Muslims declare 17 times a day…every day… that ‘CHRISTIANS ARE ASTRAY’? Does that brainwash Muslims to discriminate against Christians and motivate them to hate and attack them in jihad?

    Is there a link between smoking and cancer? Is there a link between Islam and terrorism?

    In thinking about why Western media is so reluctant to report on Christian persecution, I can only conclude they assume we are barbarians who would go rampaging through the streets with torches and pitchforks if the stories were framed as such. Pres. Bush I said as much when he announced the end of the first Iraq war, and discouraged what he thought would be unseemly celebrations by the uncouth.

    This is one of the handful of sites that chronicles the crimes committed by ISIS and their allies in any kind of a comprehensive way. Many of the stories are from foreign media that would never be seen by Americans. Invaluable in so many ways, including as an historical resource, since I have this fantasy that there might one day be war crime charges against ISIS members.

    United Nations: Legal definition of genocide
    Genocide is defined in Article 2 of the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide
    (1948) as “any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such: killing members of the group; causing serious bodily or mental harm to
    members of the group; deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its
    physical destruction in whole or in part1; imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group; [and] forcibly transferring children of the group to another group.”

    Boko Haram is committing GENOCIDE by the terms of the official definition above.

    It’s religious war. Been going on for a long time.

    It would have been laughable were it not very serious. Everything vomitted by this man is high treason. A brazen challenge to a democratic state. What would happen if other tribes and religions all over Nigeria and indeed Africa form their own terrorist groups to also challenge government? Mark my words. The slip into anarchy and disintergration is gathering momentum. I repeat as a former moslem that the spirit behind Christianity is different from the bood thirsty spirit behind this one.
