Nigeria: Jihad-martyrdom suicide bomber murders at least nine people at mosque

Jul 8, 2016 1:30 pm By Robert Spencer

Why would Boko Haram (aka the Islamic State in West Africa) murder people in a mosque? This shows that they must not be Muslims, right? Wrong. All it shows is that they don’t consider the people in the mosque to be Muslims, or the right kind of Muslims.

Boko-Haram

“Suicide bomber kills at least nine at mosque in northeast Nigeria’s Damboa,” Reuters, July 8, 2016:

A suicide bomber killed at least nine people and injured around 12 others on Friday in an attack on a mosque in northeastern Nigerian Damboa during early morning prayers, a military source said.

No group has claimed responsibility for the attack in the town of Damboa, which is in Borno state, but it bore the hallmarks of Islamist militant group Boko Haram.

A member of a grassroots civilian joint task force set up to defend local people against Boko Haram also confirmed Friday’s attack on the mosque.

    ”they don’t consider the people in the mosque to be Muslims, or the right kind of Muslims.

    the right kind of Muslims.- by which or who’s definition ?

    For me any muslim is haram.

    Keep away from them and keep them away from your country.

      Obviously the mosque bombings took place because the community was openly opposed to Boko Haram. Muhammad personally ordered the murder of other Muslims–as in the case of poetess, Asma bint Marwan. So BH is simply following in the footsteps of their “most perfect man that ever lived and ever will live”.

        As I understand it, Asma bint Marwan was *not* Muslim. She was an Arab, but NOT a Muslim; if I recall correctly, from Mr Spencer’s book “The Truth About Muhammad”, she was a *pagan*. In her traditional role as social critic she ridiculed the bizarro new cult and its founder, the self-styled ‘prophet’, and tried to rally her tribe to combat it. That’s why she was assassinated.

    Really, I couldn’t care less. Let them all murder each other.

      Agree. While the Sunnis are busy slaughtering the Shi’ites, at least they aren’t killing us.

      The disturbing spin that is put on these murderous events encourages Islamic victimhood. They run with the line “terrorists kill more Muslims than anyone else”. So what? That’s only because no-one else is left. They have already killed off the non-Muslims. The Sunni bloodlust is never ending. Even the mythical vampires thirst for blood can be quenched.

      I tend to agree- but I am still somewhat upset.

      NINE KILLED, 12 INJURED.

      900 KILLED 1,200 INJURED WOULD BE SO MUCH NICER-ALL MUSLIMS, OF COURSE.

    Persecution is not an original feature in any religion; but it is always the strongly marked feature of all religions established by law.

      Why is this relevant? The reference here is bloody murder not persecution.

  5. Oliver says

    Left unsaid- were those killed by Sunnis or Shiites? And, does the other group have a mosque in that town or province?

    If so, could get to be a bit bloodier.
