Nigeria: Muslim families donating children to become jihadi suicide bombers

Aug 8, 2017 8:26 am By Christine Douglass-Williams

Some Nigerian families are donating their children to extremist terrorist group Boko Haram to carry out suicide missions against the country’s military…Nigerian Army spokesman Sani Usman pleaded with local parents to discontinue the practice as the terrorist group continues its deadly insurgency. “It was discovered that most of these hapless minors were donated to the terrorist sect by their heartless and misguided parents and guardians,” Usman said.

Heartless, certainly, but unfortunately these jihad-minded parents are not “misguided.” They are guided by the Islamic jihad doctrine, which holds martyrdom to be the highest calling and honor. The unthinkable act of a family giving over its children to be blown to smithereens in a jihad suicide attack is regarded as such a distinct privilege that even funeral prayers are not conducted, since the jihadi killer is deemed to be alive:

But do not think of those that have been slain in Allah’s cause are dead. Nay, they are alive! With their Sustainer have they their sustenance (Qur’an 3:169).

Not only is a martyred mujahid deemed to be alive and headed for paradisal bliss, but he is also deemed to be escorted by angels as his body is taken away for burial.

“Families ‘Donate’ Kids To Jihadis To Become Suicide Bombers”, by Saagar Enjeti, Daily Caller, August 7, 2017:

Some Nigerian families are donating their children to extremist terrorist group Boko Haram to carry out suicide missions against the country’s military, the country’s army said in a statement Saturday.

Nigerian Army spokesman Sani Usman pleaded with local parents to discontinue the practice as the terrorist group continues its deadly insurgency. “It was discovered that most of these hapless minors were donated to the terrorist sect by their heartless and misguided parents and guardians,” Usman said.

“The acts of these parents and guardians are not only barbaric, but condemnable and unacceptable,” the spokesman added.

Boko Haram has pioneered the use of mostly female suicide bombers in its insurgency against the Nigerian government, frequently kidnapping or cultivating young girls into the practice. At times the group has been known to deploy pregnant women as decoy suicide bombers.

Boko Haram at one point held the moniker of the world’s most deadly terrorist organization, killing nearly 7,000 people in 2015 and became internationally notorious after it abducted nearly 300 young girls from a Nigerian school. The group maintains tenuous connections to the Islamic State, although it traces its roots to an al-Qaida aligned Nigerian Islamist militia…..

      Islam is not a religion, bit uses religion to control the populace 24/7/365. The other control mechanism is Sharia, or otherwise known as Islamic law. Islam itself is a tyrannical horrid totalitarian Ideology that worships death. The pnly way to get to heaven as a Muslim is to kill in the name of Allah. Islam is completely antithetical to out Constitutional Republic. Just to reinforce the idea that tou will never leave Islam a Fatwa may be placed on your head calling for your death. And don’t even think about saying ANYTHING against the psychopath prophet Mohammed, as that will also get you killed. There’s no such thing as equal rights under Islam. Women are 2nd class citizens .I look at it this way, if they will kill their own children, what WON’T they do.

          Bev, your emotional response is understandable, but Islam is a religion and a political system at the same time. About 51% of Islam’s primary texts concern politics, while 49% concern religion. Islam is primarily political, but only by 1% more. The religion of Islam is about how to pray. The politics of Islam are about supremacism and enslavement.

      Dear, oh, dear, another ignorant, anti-religious bigot who uses the term “religion” as a catch-all, as though all religions teach more or less the same things.

      Islam is the issue here. Not “religion”.

    If Islam is such a misunderstood religion of peace, then why haven’t the “true” Muslims taken care of the criminals who “disobey” Islamic based laws the same way we do criminals who disobey our Christian based laws?

    • Bob says

      Because, Dan, the ‘true’ muslims – if the ‘moderates’ actually exist! – are terrified of their peace-loving co-death cultists!

    Those jihadist suicide/homicide Islamic terror attackers are committed by Muslims who are also mujahedeen, who are also under the spell of Islamic deception, so much so, that those jihadists actually view their murderous attacks as “martyrdom operations.” This is because they firmly believe that they will have a paradise, for themselves, after they die in a jihad attack. This is how strong the influence of the deceptive power of the false religion of Islam can be. This delusional madness which results in death and destruction is, somewhat, explained in the following quotation by a Christian author.
    “Muslims killed while waging jihad are often honored as martyrs. Also, the prophet Muhammad said that they would be guaranteed passage to paradise. Narrated Abu Huraira in Hadith 9:549:
    ‘Allah’s Apostle said “Allah guarantees to the person who carries out jihad or His Cause and nothing compelled him to go out but the jihad for His Cause and belief in His Words, that he will either admit him into paradise or return him with the reward or the bounty he has earned to his residence from where he came out.’ [1]
    As for the first part of this above quote about a “guarantee’’ of entering into a paradise for a Muslim who dies fighting in the jihad is a falsehood and false doctrine of a “guarantee “. Which a both tragic and sad for many reasons as well as bogus way of God. For Jesus taught not the above but clearly did teach that He is the genuine and only way to heaven. For example, John 14:6 gives the very words of Jesus Which are “I am the way ,the truth, and the life: no one comes to the Father ,but by Me.”

    Donate them all. Give tax credits and incentives. Food stamps. A goat. Another wife of 9 years. 200 dollars when they say “GO child”.
    Perfect. This should be encouraged world wide. Kid with hand grenade experience should have promotions and advancement. Be made at least a corporel. Entity.
    Parents should provide kids own suicide vests, anmd demonstrate. Pul that cord.

    ………………..

    “Donating”–they are surrendering their own children to slaughter and be slaughtered. *Ugh*.

    Wonder where they got those perverse ideas? If democrats fail to abort their babies, here’s a way to “punish” unruly teenagers. Turn them mean snowflakes into suicide bombers. After all, democrats have a common bond with their muslim brothers and sisters. Right?
