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

Nigeria: Islamic State in West Africa murders at least 30 people in jihad raids on two villages

Feb 14, 2016 9:30 am By Robert Spencer

The Nigerian Army vowed to end Boko Haram’s terrorism by December 2015.

Boko-Haram

Boko Haram renamed itself the Islamic State in West Africa last April. “30 dead in fresh Boko Haram raids on Borno villages,” AFP, February 14, 2016 (thanks to Goodness):

At least 30 people have been killed in fresh Boko Haram raids on two villages in northeast Nigeria, vigilantes told AFP Saturday, again calling into question President Muhammadu Buhari’s claim that Nigeria had largely defeated the jihadist group.

Gun and knife-toting assailants on bikes and in vans stormed the remote villages of Yakshari and Kachifa on Friday and Saturday, said Mustapha Karimbe, a local vigilante assisting the military in the fight against Boko Haram Islamists.

“The attackers killed 30 people in two separate attacks on the two villages last night (Friday) and this morning (Saturday),” Karimbe told AFP adding that they also looted and stole cattle.

The village of Yakshari was attacked at around 9:30 am on Saturday, with the assailants slaughtering 22 residents “by slitting their throats before emptying food stores and taking away all the cattle”, Karimbe said, speaking from the town of Biu approximately 120 kilometres (75 miles) from the village.

Late Friday evening, meanwhile, Boko Haram Islamists also raided nearby Kachifa village, killing eight people.

“We believe the same gunmen carried out both attacks on the two villages,” Karimbe said.

Dozens of people have been killed in Boko Haram attacks in recent weeks near Maiduguri, capital of northeast Borno state, despite Buhari’s December boast that the jihadist group had been more or less defeated.

Since then the militants have killed dozens in raids and suicide attacks, including across the border in Cameroon.

On January 30, at least 85 people died when insurgents stormed and torched one village, while on Thursday two female suicide bombers killed at least 58 at a camp for people made homeless by the insurgency….

    Meanwhile, one million mullahs say nothing because they have read all of Islam’s foundational texts and they all know Islam teaches terrorism…therefore one million mullahs SAY NOTHING and the terrorism continues.

    One million mullahs know Islam teaches vigilantism and so they don’t speak out against terrorism, knowing that the terrorist will pay them a visit if they do.

    Islam is a conspiracy of terror and a conspiracy of silence. All Muslims are complicit in terror by their silence.

    The Muslims that realize Mohammed is a bad role model do not leave Islam, but give it their silent approval. Shameful. They have no excuse for supporting this repulsive DEATH CULT.

    That the brutal vicious ,cruel jihadist thugs of ISIS had murdered at least thirty people in their mad Islamic quest of a jihad should not be surprising ,at all, to anyone who understands just how awful and terrible the ISIS fiends actually are. The jihadist brutes of ISIS are so very bloodthirstily,murderous and destructive that they are similar to, in character, the heinous villains described in the Bible. Which reads “Their feet are swift to shed blood: destruction and misery are in their ways: and the way of peace have they not known.” Romans 3:15-17. [KJV]

    I wonder sometimes if ISIS are not being destroyed because they are too great a cover for politicians in trouble who’s economies have collapsed or are on the brink and diversions like terrorism distract people away from the real issues.

    It may be that between terrorism and global warming that corruption & economic mismanagement has found a new face to hide behind because ISIS could easily be destroyed by any nation state. What’s stopping them?
