Boko Haram, the Nigerian Islamic extremist group, has killed more people in the name of jihad than the Islamic State (ISIS), according to the findings of a new report. Since 2000, when twelve Northern Nigerian states began implementing or more fully enforcing Islamic law, or Sharia, “between 9,000 to 11,500 Christians” have been killed. This is “a conservative estimate.”
In addition, “1.3 million Christians have become internally displaced or forced to relocate elsewhere,” and “13,000 churches have been closed or destroyed altogether.” Countless “thousands of Christian businesses, houses and other property have been destroyed.”
The report alludes to a number of other factors that connect the growth of the Nigerian jihad to the growth of the global jihad. The rise of anti-Christian, Islamic supremacism “did not emerge in Northern Nigeria until the 1980s, when Nigerian scholars and students returned from Arabic countries influenced by Wahhabi and Salafist teaching. Each year, thousands of West African Muslims get free scholarships to pursue their studies in the Sunni Arab countries; this has had a major impact on Nigerian culture.”
This “major impact” is not limited to Nigeria. Saudi Arabia annually spends over $100 billion disseminating “Wahhabi and Salafist teaching”—or what growing numbers of Muslims refer to as “true Islam”—including through European and American mosques. Behind the radicalization of ISIS, Boko Haram, and Lone Wolf jihadis stand America’s best Muslim friends and allies.
Another important finding from the report is that, “Not just radical Islam, Boko Haram being the most notable example, but also Muslim Hausa-Fulani herdsmen and the Northern Muslim political and religious elite are also major actors of targeted violence towards the Christian minority.”
Most recently, on March 2, Nigerian human rights lawyer Emmanuel Ogebe sent an email saying: “I arrived Nigeria a few days ago to investigate what appears to be the worst massacre by Muslim [Hausa-Fulani] herdsmen… Over 500 Christian villagers were slain in one night.” Similarly, according to a West African source, “Once Boko Haram is defeated, the problem will not be solved. Christians living under Sharia law are facing discrimination and marginalization and have limited to no access to federal rights.”
The report finally finds that much of the anti-Christian violence derives from the historical “migration of Muslims into non-Muslim territories in northern Nigeria to promote the Islamic religious and missionary agenda in all parts of northern Nigeria.” In other words, what Christians in Nigeria are experiencing is a live snapshot of what millions of Christians and other non-Muslims have experienced since the seventh century, when Islam “migrated” to their borders: violence, persecution, enslavement, and the destruction of churches.
All of these findings contradict the Obama Administration’s official narrative concerning the unrest in Nigeria. For years, the administration refused to list Boko Haram — which has slaughtered more Christians and “apostates” than even ISIS — as a terrorist organization. It finally did so in November 2013, after several years of pressure from lawmakers, human rights activists, and lobbyists.
Even so, the Obama Administration refuses to associate Boko Haram — an organization that defines itself in purely Islamic terms — with Islam, just as it refuses to associate the Islamic State with Islam. Although Boko Haram and its allies have yet to miss a year when they do not bomb or burn several churches during Christmas or Easter celebrations, on Easter Day, 2012, after the organization had murdered 39 Christian worshippers, U.S. Assistant Secretary of State for African Affairs Johnnie Carson said: “I want to take this opportunity to stress one key point and that is that religion is not driving extremist violence” in the Muslim-majority north.
So what is? The administration attributes to Boko Haram the same motivation it attributes to the Islamic State — or as President Bill Clinton once memorably put it in a reference to Boko Haram’s murder campaign: “inequality” and “poverty” are “what’s fueling all this stuff.”
That assessment is similar to the Obama Administration’s claim that “a lack of opportunity for jobs” is what created ISIS; or CIA John Brennan’s claim that the global jihad is “fed a lot of times by, you know, political repression, by economic, you know, disenfranchisement, by, you know, lack of education and ignorance, so there — there are a number of phenomena right now that I think are fueling the fires of, you know, this ideology.”…

The world looks the other way or denies what is the normative process of migration and jihad…invade, steal, rape, persecute, murder, expel, exterminate.
This is the biggest genocides in the world in last 15 years and all Western leaders can do is make excuses for the genocidal killers.

Wonder what Afroamericans and Afroeuropeans are doing to change things in Africa to the better? As well as refugees from MId-East and Central-Asia.
Nothing that I know of. Mostly they turn against Euroamericans and Euroamericans in U.S.A. and Europeans in Europe and call them rasists and such, instead of helping their countries of origin.
As now rightwing organisations like Le Pen, Geert Wilders, Pegida, AfD in Germany and alike in Sweden, Denmark and Finland are growing.
They could be stopped if more people engaged in changing the world to the better.
DFD says
Richard Paulsen says: “…As now rightwing organisations like Le Pen, Geert Wilders, Pegida, AfD in Germany and alike in Sweden, Denmark and Finland are growing.”
Sir,
you are mistaken, neither PEGIDA nor AfD are rightwing. They are conservative, slightly right. They occupy the space the CDU (Christian Democratic Union) used to, until Merkel took the CDU into a position left from the SPD (Social Democrats).
In fact, approx 20-30% of the AfD members are X-CDU, for PEGIDA the number is supposed to be even higher. In both cases growing. The ‘desertion’ of members is by now (internally) a matter of concern for the CDU. I read this about a month, or two, ago. I don’t recall where, could have been PI-Magazin, Der Spiegel, whatever. Thus I am unfortunately unable to provide the source.
I do not know where you got your info from, the ‘free press’ (free to do what?) or perhaps even RT. However, I assure that these are not “right wing” in the sense that this term is now being used, or misused, or even abused. Similar holds true for Mr. Wilders party.
If you wish to “stop” these, then there will be no centrist parties, only the left and the extreme left; such as ‘AntiFa’ (short for: Anti Fascists), these are actually Socialists with a hardcore of Anarchists.

“But not all Muslims are doing this”
Shouldn’t we just label this as a few bad extremists who misinterpret Islam?
——————–
Saudi Arabia annually spends over $100 billion disseminating “Wahhabi and Salafist teaching”— Saudi Arabia spends millions more at US universities doing a cover up of Islam’s scandals.
It is time to make a movie about Islam’s scandal cover up to clear this all up.
But we need a template.
How about the 2016 Oscar Award winning movie Spotlight about pedophile priests and the cover up scandal?
Let’s take a look at how the Hollywood gay/leftist/atheist alliance in tandem, no doubt with Muslim financed liberal university think tanks have taken on the Catholic priest sex abuse scandal to see what parallels to a movie about Islam might apply.
Not all Catholics were involved. Not all priests were involved.
But Hollywood didn’t use that excuse to shy away from exploring the corruption.

Why not a movie about Islam’s persecution of Christians ?

Walter Sieruk says
The Muslims who make up the Nigerian Islamic jihad entity Boko Haram so greatly detest Christians the they murder them. The same applies the the jihadist who compose ISIS in the land of Syria and Iraq. For those Muslim thugs of ISIS murder Christians in Iraq , Syria and even Libya. Then there is that Taliban bombing murders last Easter Sunday in the Pakistan park. Still there are some people who have made the ignorant and false statement Christians and Muslims both believe in the same God.If that statement is true then it makes no sense tat all that so much Muslims would hate Christians so much that they literally murder them. Nevertheless, there are a number of apologists for Islam, some are imams and mullahs and strangely enough, even some so called “Christian” pastors, who have the outstanding claim that Christians and Muslim both believe in and worship the same God. So it stands to reason that it’s important to know if this claims valid and true or invalid and false. The facts are that the god of Islam or the Muslims is a single being. In great contrast the God of Christianity, of the Christians consists as the Trinity. By the Trinity it means that “Within the essence of the one True God there are Three Persons. Being God the Father. God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. Not three gods in one But Three Distinct Persons in One God. Being the Tri-Personal Nature of God, Matthew 3:13-17. Second Corinthians 13:14. . The Bible teaches, the Father is God, Galatians 1:1.The Son is God, First John 5:20. The Holy Spirit is God, Acts 5:3,4. Not three gods but the one and only Triune God. As further explained in the Christian book MAJOR BIBLE THEMES by Lewis Sperry Chafer on page 39 which informs the readers that “Many believe that the doctrine of the Trinity in implicit in the use of the word Elohim, as the name of God which is in a plural form and seems to refer to the Triune God. “ Likewise, in the Christian magazine PERHAPS TODAY November/December 2013 on page 8 it reads about Genesis 1:1. “In the beginning God [this is the plural noun Elohim, meaning ‘more than one’] created the heaven and the earth.” Furthermore, a bit of a view of the inner workings of the Trinity together may be seen in that the God the Father raised Jesus from the dead. Romans 10:9,10. Jesus raised Himself from the dead, John 2:19,20. The Holy Spirit raised Jesus from the dead, Romans 8:11.The inner-workings of the Trinity of God may also be seen in the fact that the Father sanctifies, First Thessalonians 5:23. The Son sanctifies, Ephesians 5:26. Hebrews 2:11; 9:12,14;13:12.The Holy Spirit sanctifies ,Romans 15:16. Second Thessalonians 2:13. Getting back to the Bible book of Genesis. In Genesis 1:26 in reads “The God said let US make man in Our image , according to our likeness…” The words are the plural “Us” and “Our.” As in “We the Trinity” For the very next verse, 27, it further reads “So God created man in His own image…” In verse 26 it’s the plural “Us” and “Our” to the singular “His” That is Three Persons in One God. In addition, in the New Testament in Matthew 28:19 It further reads the Jesus said “Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the the Son and the Holy Spirit.” [N.K.J.V] That is “name” not “names.” In conclusion the many apologists and propagandists for Islam for Islam who make the claim that Christians and Muslims believe in and worship the same God are make an untrue and outright false claim. For the God of Christianity, Christians and the Bible is not the god of Islam Muslims and the Koran.

Thank you. Every muslim jihadist groups is following on the teachings of islam and the practices of mohamed and therefore they are all the same whether they call themselves Boko haram, ISIS, Algaeda, Alshabab, Taliban, Alnusra etc. One other thing is that the only thing that can protect Western Europeans and Africans from the murderous islamic jihadists is not the useless police or governments. The best way to defeat islamic jihadists is through proactive Vigilantes militia like the people of CAR did in their country.

And the Muslims who make up the Nigerian Army turn a blind eye to this and let it happen. Only the infidel Cameroon Army inflicts losses on Boko Haram.

“The report finally finds that much of the anti-Christian violence derives from the historical “migration of Muslims into non-Muslim territories in northern Nigeria to promote the Islamic religious and missionary agenda in all parts of northern Nigeria.”–
Lest we forget that before “the 1980s, when Nigerian scholars and students returned from Arabic countries influenced by Wahhabi and Salafist teaching” there was that thing called the Biafra War in the 1960s, when Christian Ibo tried to escape Muslim persecution and mass murders by declaring an independent state, only to have a jihad waged upon them, killing a million; or that thing in 1804 called a “jihad” fomented by the Muslim theologian Usman dan Fodio against the non-Muslim rulers to create the “Caliphate of Sokoto”; or the declared “jihads” preceding that, in 1650 and 1750. And how does this history in Nigeria compare to, say, the behavior of Muslims in Sudan and elsewhere in Africa, not just since the 1980s but for centuries?
Saudia Arabia is a villain, but not the villain. That honor goes to Muhammad, the Qur’an, Islam.
Note: Qatar had more to do with the financing and creation of Boko Haram than anyone. They have also funded ISIS and Boko Haram has since sworn allegiance (bayah) to the Islamic State. Like the Taliban (another Qatar client) they are heavily involved in drug trafficking, one reason Doha airport is a hub of narco-terrorism. Speaking of films, Qatar is now an owner of Miramax. Don’t expect any “anti-Islamic” films from them anytime soon.

Andrew Bostom has also quoted at length the late historian Mervyn Hiskett, who in 1993 gave this pessimistic verdict on relying on “moderate Muslims” in Nigeria:
“[T]he view of jihad represented by Shehu Umar Abdullahi, Ibraheem Sulaiman, and the late Abubakr Gumi enjoys widespread support.
It is doubtful whether a serious and deliberate commitment to indigenous non-Muslim culture any longer exists in northern Nigeria, except in those areas of Jos and Plateau that the jihads failed to encompass. In fact these areas are now [per 1993] predominantly Christian…
We may therefore ask whether attempts to draw firm distinguishing lines between “fundamentalist” and “moderate” Muslims in northern Nigeria rests on anything more than the intensity of their respective brands of rhetoric, or on profound differences in aims and aspirations.
[T]here is (also) a remarkable solidarity between them [i.e., northern Nigerian Muslims] concerning such central Islamic issues as Sharia, membership of the OIC, and the necessity to create an Islamic order in Nigeria. This leads me to question whether there is, in fact, any significant distinction to be made between so-called “fundamentalists” and “moderates.”
Islamic radicalism in Nigeria is now too powerful to be countered even by the forces of secularism the non-Muslim constituency deploys—in fine that those who rely on Muslim “moderates” to carry the day are likely to be seriously disappointed.”
{Hiskett notes} “Sulaiman merely reiterated in the 1980s dan Fodio’s animating early 19th century jihadist ideology, that the Sharia must replace indigenous customary systems, which Muslims, then as now, regard as sinful.”

Thanks for mentioning Biafra, Jack. I was just a grade school kid when this was happening, but I watched the news regularly even then. I never had the slightest inkling that this was a Jihad–I don’t think Islam was ever mentioned.

Boko Haram: Just a bunch of extremely stupid brainwashed Africans who have succumbed to the nonsense diktats of Arab cultural imperialism. These shameless but very murderous and destructive fools all brainwashed into primitive Arab nonsense based on silly fairy tales have no qualms about committing the most horrific crimes as they seek as disgusting slaves to emulate their lord and slave-master Muhammad. Muhammad as we know was a master gangster and bandit.
Custos Custodum says
They are NOT stupid. Islam has persisted for 1400 years as an extremely successful gang philosophy.
Islam’s success lies in the fact that it balances the here-and-now interests of rank-and-file gang members (rape, pillage, murder, parasitic existence at the expense of “infidels”) with the long-term imperative to secure submission and ultimately establish Islam as a faith through all conquered territories.
It bears repeating that “Boko Haram” is only a local nickname given to the group by others. The group’s official name in Arabic (which is NOT spoken in Nigeria) is Jamā’at Ahl as-Sunnah lid-Da’wah wa’l-Jihād (Arabic: جماعة أهل السنة للدعوة والجهاد, “Group of the People of Sunnah for Preaching and Jihad”). More recently, in their role as Islamic State affiliates, they call themselves Wilāyat Gharb Ifrīqīyyah (Arabic: الولاية الإسلامية غرب أفريقيا, (Islamic State West Africa Province, ISWAP).
Custos Custodum says
Slight correction: transcribed Arabic name should be Wilāyat al-Islāmiyah Wilāyat Gharb Ifrīqīyyah. Arabic is correct.
maghan says
What proof have you offered that the stupid illiterate fools who have joined Boko Haram are not stupid?
Not only stupid but mental slaves of primitive Arab nonsense. A person who is not stupid will read the details of how Islam was founded and dismiss the details as stupid nonsense, as a grown and rational person will dismiss the Loch Ness monster story or the Father Christmas story as just childish fiction.

What happened to “never again”?
Kevin Sekel says
In increasing numbers, Christians are being massacred by Moslems…in the heart of Europe – in Paris and Brussels – and in Pakistan, Turkey, Nigeria, Cameroon and many other locations, and Christian churches are also being destroyed by a number of Moslem groups.
Islam has always considered itself to be at war with other religions, but particularly with Christianity.
The difference between the Moslem invasion of Europe in the 14th and 15th centuries and now is that – unlike then – our leaders either refuse to acknowledge, or don’t realise (and I’m not sure which is worse) that the war has been renewed.
Just as Popes of earlier times called for Crusades, I wonder if the current Pope has considered calling for a Crusade to rid the world of all radical forms of Islam – ISIS, the Taliban, Boko Haram, and many other similar groups – that have declared open war on western civilization, but particularly on Christianity.
As was the case with past Crusades, hundreds of thousands – if not millions – of volunteers would march, financed and armed by The Vatican. (This would also solve a great deal of Europe’s unemployment problem.)
Kevin Sekel says
…on 2nd thoughts…after seeing this Pope wash Muslims’ feet, can’t expect him to call for a Crusade.
