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

Islamic State in West Africa murders 52 with jihad suicide bombings

Dec 28, 2015 8:06 pm By Robert Spencer

The Nigerian army pledged in October to end Boko Haram’s jihad terror activities by December.

Boko Haram pledged allegiance to the Islamic State and changed its name to the Islamic State in West Africa last winter.

Boko-Haram

“Boko Haram attacks in Nigeria leave 52 dead,” by Aminu Abubakar and Briana Duggan, CNN, December 28, 2015:

Kano, Nigeria (CNN)Attacks by suspected Boko Haram militants have left more than 50 people dead and as many as 114 others wounded in the northeastern Nigerian cities of Maiduguri and Madagali in the past 24 hours, according to residents and Nigerian officials.

Three young female suicide bombers detonated explosives — two of them together at a market in Madagali Monday morning, killing 30 people, a local official said, and one at a checkpoint in Maiduguri, where one person died.

Sunday evening in Maiduguri, Nigerian troops battled armed Boko Haram fighters trying to enter the city, fighting that left at least 21 people dead and 91 wounded, according to Mohammed Kanar, head of National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA).

The Nigerian troops had spotted a group of armed Boko Haram fighters trying to cross a trench to get into the Jiddari Polo area of Maiduguri and opened fire on them, said Babakura Kolo, a vigilante assisting the military in fighting Boko Haram.

That city has been fortified with trenches to prevent infiltration by Boko Haram.

“Some of the insurgents managed to cross into Jiddari Polo and engaged soldiers in battles with guns and explosives,” said Usman Bala, another vigilante assisting the military.

Resident Madu Goni said the fighting lasted for almost two hours.

“This forced us to abandon our homes in fear,” Goni said.

Hours later, on Monday morning, a teenage female suicide bomber killed one person and wounded seven others in an attack on a checkpoint in the Maiduguri suburb of Kushari, authorities said.

“The suicide bomber blended with the crowd and detonated her explosives,” explained a Kushari resident who wished to remain anonymous for fear of Boko Haram reprisals….

    “The Nigerian army pledged in October to end Boko Haram’s jihad terror activities by December.”

    That was the promise of the Muslim who ran against Christian president Goodluck Jonathan…and won based on that promise. Foolish Nigerians thinking a Muslim would stop jihadists murdering innocents to turn Nigeria into a Muslim nation. Too late. Once a Muslim is in power, Islam stays in power. Let this be a lesson to ALL that Muslims will not solve the problems of Islam, despite their promises.

      Goodluck Jonathan was having even less success in fighting Boko Haram. 15% of Nigerians are in favor of Boko Haram! That’s a hell of a lot of support for terrorism.

      Even with the greatest number of educated people in Africa, much of Nigeria is primitive and savage and lives in the 7th century, if not the Bronze Age.

    Hey, their president says the same thing as ours.

      Not quite – Goodluck Jonathan pledged to end Boko Haram, not to debase and degrade it.

    They heartlessly use women and children (often handicapped) to appeal to the pity of the soldiers and then betray it. Then, if the soldiers shoot the child or woman, Boko Haram can hypocritically claim brutality!

    Such things are war crimes.

    No one in the west lights candles, not even mentioned on most news. Black lives do not matter when it comes to jihad in Africa.

    Those three female suicide.homicide bombers of the outcome , for a large part, the outcome of those the insidious and deceptive Muslim clerics , such as the imams, who with their lies and lines inspired those females to engage in murderous action of Islamic terrorism. They use them as stooges and tools for Islam’s jihad. This extreme brainwashing is based on the lies and lines those Muslim clerics speak..Such as the false statements and outright lies they say are “We will honor you.” Really means “We are exploiting and using you.” and “You will go to paradise” and “”We are doing this for Allah.” That some very strange kind of “We” As the reader might notice those vary same Muslim clerics ,who do the brainwashing in the first place , are never, ever,the ones commit the suicide bombings . If those same Muslim clerics actually believe that engaging in such action of madness and folly is such a grand and wonderful thing to do then they should strap bomb vest on themselves and then go out and blow themselves up . That they don’t only exposes what insincere, cowards and manipulative villains they really are.

    This is very sad. The media doesn’t even mention these atrocities. I guess it is because they are black and poor. All lives matter Trump is correct once again.
