Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Islamic State in West Africa murders 33 with jihad suicide attacks in Chad

Oct 10, 2015 7:02 pm By Robert Spencer

Reuters doesn’t know it, but Boko Haram renamed itself the Islamic State in West Africa last April, after pledging allegiance to the Islamic State. They carried out these attacks in an area where there are many Nigerians who have earlier fled from them.

“Suspected Boko Haram suicide attacks strike Chad,” AFP, October 10, 2015:

Five suicide bombers killed 33 people in Chad and wounded 51 more in a coordinated attack suspected to be the work of the Nigerian Islamist militant group Boko Haram, a local government official said.

Witnesses reported multiple blasts that appeared to target the market in Baga Sola, directly across Lake Chad from Nigeria, and a camp housing refugees who have fled from Boko Haram.

The group have proclaimed an emirate in northeastern Nigeria, enforcing a brutal interpretation of Islamic law, and also pushed into neighbouring countries.

Dimoya Souapebe, the sub-prefect in the town, and a hospital source both confirmed the casualty figures.

“We heard three explosions. The market is on fire right now,” said one security source present in the town….

    When the Serpent of Satan slithers beneath our feet, green fields scorched are fallowed, till brambles bear witness to shattered dreams as the last remnants of life withers without relief grasping at the distant echoes of truth lost in the final hush of a dying breeze.

          Mosab Hassan Yousef, Son of Hamas has said Islam is imploding and will cease to exist in ten years.
          If you don’t know who he is, google his name or Son of Hamas.

          Yes–“Son of Hamas” has said that ISIS is Islam, and that it will cease to exist in ten years.

          But he also says that putting up supremacist Mosques is “affront to Allah”–rather than an orthodox element of Islam.

          He often seems more concerned with the image of Islam than anything else.

          And he’s never given a reason for the supposed demise of Islam in a decade’s time.

          https://sonofhamas.wordpress.com/author/sonofhamas/

          Certainly, it is refreshing to see a Muslim acknowledge and criticize the violence of Islam–but Son of Hamas is not terribly consistent in his positions. I would hardly consider him a seer, or put too much stock in this pronouncement.

      Another reason we want a #freebiafra . Nigeria belongs to the so called “fidels”. Buhari is a sponsor of terror with plans to spread islam throughout nigeria. Bokoharam aka IS in west africa wishes to islamise the country. If biafra is free today, islamisation of d country will stop at a defined new nigeria boundary.

      All Muslims are supporting ARAB SUPREMACISM.

    African Muslims are too disorganized and lacking a philosophy that differs from that of ISIS.

    Muslims worldwide have nothing to say against the Sharia law implemented by ISIS, because all Muslims support it. However, they differ as to who deserves the severe Sharia punishments.

    Muslims living in the West have two minds about Sharia, but dare not admit it. They want to be free in the Western sense, but they also want to enslave the world to Sharia.

    To Azacque- Mr. Yousef seems mighty optimistic to me. I am thrilled that he left Islam and accepted Jesus Christ as his Savior, but what proof does he offer that “Islam will not exist in 10 years”? Is he actually referring to the End Times?

    The group have proclaimed an emirate in northeastern Nigeria, enforcing a brutal interpretation of Islamic law, and also pushed into neighbouring countries.
    …………………..

    In other words, they are violently expanding the global Caliphate.

    There seems to be a trend toward world violence becoming connected in some way to Islam, particularly when it involves suicide attacks.

    Fundamental Islam, following the example of Muhammad, is just another non-productive entity that lives off the productivity of others. Find the warlords anywhere in the world and it will be the same parasitism even if not Islamic.

    Could it be that Islam is becoming the ideology of choice for parasitic militants because it glorifies and promotes conflict for Allah, promises an eternal reward, provides an orderly division of the spoils, and requires no central authority to approve the rise of self-appointed warlord/clerics?

    Imagine two books, a Bible and Quran, dropped from the sky on an Alien Planet with enough other materials to create a “rosetta stone” to decipher the languages. Which book will cause the most trouble for the Aliens if translated and published in their language?

    So far Boko Haram has killed about 13,000.

    I saw a book on Islamic jihad in Nigeria. The Islamic war for Nigeria goes back one hundred years.
    These are never sporadic or isolated efforts.
    Where there is Islam there will be social, political and paramilitary contestation for the commons that puts a massive squeeze on the affected nation state.

    Nigeria is at great risk. And their military has done very little to fight Boko Haram. Of course, much of Nigeria is Islamic, in the north, so it makes sense for the Muslims in the Nigerian military to not really fight their own Sharia culture.

    The basic reference is here:
    Liberty and Islam Cannot Coexist – STOP ISLAM
