Boko Haram pledged allegiance to the Islamic State last February, and changed its name to the Islamic State in West Africa.
“Lake Chad suicide attack ‘kills 27,'” AFP, December 5, 2015 (thanks to Thomas):
N’Djamena (AFP) – At least 27 people were killed and more than 80 wounded Saturday in a triple suicide bombing on an island in Lake Chad, a security source said in the capital N’Djamena.
“Three suicide bombers blew themselves up in three different places at the weekly market on Loulou Fou, an island in Lake Chad,” the source told AFP, speaking on condition of anonymity.
He said the explosions had “killed 30 people”, including the attackers, and wounded more than 80.
N’Djamena on November 9 declared a state of emergency in the flashpoint Lake Chad region, which also straddles Nigeria, Cameroon and Niger and is frequently targeted by Boko Haram Islamists who this year declared allegiance to the Islamic State.
The decree granted the governor of the remote region the authority to ban the circulation of people and vehicles, to search homes and to seize arms.
In recent months, Boko Haram Islamists have stepped up attacks and suicide bombings on Chadian villages in the lake that lie close to the frontier with Nigeria….

Aside from the fact that I am tired of hearing how we are all racists against Islam which is an idea not a race, I am also disgusted by the racism of the mainstream that assumes that jihad terrorism is less intolerable if it is not in Europe, Australia, Canada or the United States. Thanks for posting this.

I was going to say the same thing! This will get little or no attention, just like the attack in Mali which happened right after the one in Paris that took up 24/7 coverage for days on end.

And Muslims say we are demonizing their religion. They just ignore worldwide murders that Muslims commit all over the world, after all murders for allah are holy for Muslims and they will do it with out even showing any twinge of conscience in them. Demons following demonic religion!!!
Shane says
Islam is a religion of jihad and misogyny since its founder was a warlord, murderer, rapist, and womanizer.
Ex-muslim says
When I left islam 25 years ago, I thought in a few years, the world will see what I saw and see islam as a very dangerous cult of death and hate and yet after 25 years and even after 9/11 and tens of thousands of other Islamic terror attacks across the globe, the world is still calling islam the religion of peace and is unable to understand the true nature of islam. The whole thing is outrageous and mind-boggling and I am wondering how long will this INSANITY go on?
Michael Copeland says
How long? Let me guess, now.
As long as petrodollars influence Western politicians.
As long as the media obfuscate and deny reality.
As long as middle classes continue to say “Do not disturb”.
The working man has it up to his neck.
The internet watchers have the information from sites like JihadWatch.
May their number rapidly increase, through PEGIDA and the like.
Not much time left. 2016 “Total Confrontation” – Al Qaeda.

Those jihad suicide/homicide bombers were ,no doubt, so very deluded ,warped and mind sick that they actually must of thought of all that murderous violence that they were engaging in as something that was “good.” Likewise ,they must of also thought of living good non-violent lives as something that is “evil.” This then serves as an example of the warping ,sickening and dangerously wicked influence that “slam can have on some people .Furthermore, the Bible has teachings concerning those who are so very warped ,sick and deluded as to view evil and good and good as evil. For the Bible teaches “Woe unto then that call evil good and good evil.” Isaiah 5:20. [K.J.V.]
Lucia Bartoli says
Can we not just “clean” out all of them? I suggest we administer a high colonic following a session or 2 or 3 of waterboarding. Send in our military…now.
Walter Sieruk says
After this heinously evil occurrence of those jihad suicide /homicide bombing attacks it’s then a very fitting to relate reiterate the massage that is well worth repeating.Which is as followers First the Muslim clerics,such as the imams , have the people in the mosques so thoroughly brainwashed that some of them actually want to become human bombs because to are so ,very mind programmed and deluded that they think of engaging in engaging in such murderous bombings as “martyrdom operations.” Likewise those Muslim cleric’s have them so damaged in their cognition they are literally dangerous to self and others. Second, the reader might notice the those Islamic clerics never, ever , strap bomb vest on themselves and then go out and blow themselves up. The imams and other Muslim clerics just mind condition other into doing the deadly bombings. In other words,if those imams, and other places the mullahs, really believe that such bombings are grand and wonderful thing to do,then they should should do it. They they don’r only exposes what insincere and manipulative cowards and villains they really are. Third. these suicide /homicide bombing attacks are the outcome the the imams and other Muslim clerics strongly indoctrinate the Islamic doctrine from the Koran, 44:54. 55:56. 78:31., of a sexual /lust- filled paradise with many virgins ,houris, in it for the male Muslim who dies in the jihad for the cause of Islam.. The Bible warns about such false teachers, as the imams , who ingrain such a such a false doctrine of a story of a lustful and lust filled place with virgins into the hearts and minds of others. For the Bible in Second Peter 2:18 reads “They speak great swelling words of vanity, they allure through the lust of the flesh…” Moreover, many a times a jihad minded Muslim in his death recording talks about “the wedding with the virgins” that he will have after he becomes a “martyr.” Such a belief Jesus would denounce as being based of false doctrine. For Jesus taught “Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures ,nor the power of God. For in the resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are as the angles in heaven.” Matthew 22:29,30. In contrast to the Islamic pipe-dream of the jihadist in the Koranic story/ doctrine of a place with virgins, Christians have the reality of Second Peter 1:16. Which reads “For we have not followed cunningly devised fables, when we made known unto you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ…” [K.J.V.]
Rees Lloyd says
Given this and other reports provided by Robert Spencer in Jihad Watch on radical Islamic jihad slaughter of non-Muslims from Chad to San Bernardino, CA, does anyone really need any more evidence that politically-correct, Islam-excusing, progressive liberalism as epitomized by Barack Hussein Obama and Hillary Clinton, is nothing less than soft-core anti-American jihadism as certain to lead ultimately to the slaughter of non-Muslims here and the death of American freedom as will be radical Islam if not fought and defeated?

As Mo says this filth has no place here.
It will give J.W. a bad reputation and is only ammunition for the liberal left.
This video is DISGUSTING !!!! After about 15 seconds I had to shut it down.

Muslims will never speak out against atrocities like this, San Bernardino, Paris, 7-7, 9-11, not any other mass killing committed in the name of Allah.
I hate Islam.

This appears to be a sky burial in Nepal, possibly Tibet. Notice they brought out the bodies in boxes and linnen, filmed the beautiful sky for a few moments, then started to prep the bodies. Carving up the bodies is part of the process to attract the birds. Definitely a misrepresented video, and has no place at JW. That kind of burial is reserved just for Buddhist, not Muslims.
خَليفة says
Built right into a common Islamic exaltation if the proof Islam is a false religion.
Use google translate and see for yourself:
Step 1: English to Arabic
“God is bigger”
( الله هو أكبر ) “Allah hu ‘akbar”
Step 2: Back to English
“Allah is the greatest”
“Jesus is the greatest”
( يسوع هو أعظم ) “Yasue hu ‘aezam”
“Jesus is the greatest”
“I am bigger than you”
( أنا أكبر مما كنت ) ” ‘ana ‘akbar mimma kunt”
“I am bigger than you”
“I am the greatest”
( أنا الأعظم ) ” ‘ana al’aezm”
“I am the greatest”
As a curious note: some years ago I was using Google to translate various phrases from Arabic to English and English to Arabic over several days. At first “God is bigger” translated to the usual Allah hu Akbar, and translate back to English as “Allah is bigger”- a few days later it translated back to “Allah is the greatest”
Who is Allah “bigger” than? He is bigger than the “other” gods. Which other gods? The other 360 or so pagan gods worshiped at the Kaaba in pre Islamic times.
Venus is bigger than the other stars and travels faster. The moon is bigger than Venus.
Why not use the phrase “God is the greatest”?
1: Arabic to English
( الله هو أعظم ) = “Allah hu ‘aezam”
“Allah is the greatest”
2: back to Arabic
( الله هو أكبر ) “Allah hu ‘akbar”
Even Google will/may interpret phrases instead of showing/allowing a literal translation.
Thru the phrase Allah hu Akbar it is revealed Muhammed’s underlying belief of the pagan gods and his desire to have his tribe’s God be more important than all the others. Am I accusing Mo, postmortem, of shirk ( شرك ) ( polytheism )? You betcha.
Do Muslims have more than one God? They have 99 names for Allah, or is that just 99 different gods? If Islam can be a “religion of peace” and still be the most violent religion on earth, why couldn’t they also have 99 gods and just say there is only one?
The only good Muslim is an ex-Muslim.

Where are the “Black Lives Matter” people now? Here is a real issue they could get onto the streets matching about. Boko Haram jihadists killing non muslim black people.
MKG says
One thing is for certain, the buzzards and jackals are getting fat on the bodies littering Africa and nobody apparently gives a damn. Even on JW Boko Haram stories get the least amount of comments. I’m not making accusations. I just find it peculiar.
Margaret Lauren says
I don’t believe the article revealed that those young boys & women who did the suicide bombings were the unwilling hostages that Boko Haram regularly kidnaps during their seemingly unending depredations-that’s a very important point for the public to know. A rhetorical question–does Islam provide some sort of reward in paradise for female jihadis? I guess their reward is to be the sex slaves of the male jihadis. Never was so twisted a creed ever perpetrated on the world.
