The BBC adds in a photo caption: “The continuing attacks are being blamed on Boko Haram – casting doubt on official claims the group has been defeated.”
Boko Haram, the Party of the People of the Sunnah for Dawah and Jihad, has been declared defeated before. The Nigerian government vowed to defeat Boko Haram by the end of 2014. And by the end of 2015. In mid-2017 it called the movement a spent force. And now we hear that it has been defeated again, as it murders 19 people.
“Nigeria bomb blasts cause deaths at fish market,” BBC, February 17, 2018 (thanks to Robert):
Three suicide bombers have hit the town of Konduga in north-east Nigeria, killing at least 18 people.
Two attacked a fish market and a third struck nearby, security sources said.
Boko Haram jihadists are being blamed for the blasts, though the group has yet to say it was behind them.
Boko Haram has killed some 20,000 people and displaced more than two million since it began a campaign of violence to create an Islamic state in the north of the country in 2009….
Some reports speak of 19 dead – 18 civilians and a soldier. At least 50 more were injured.
Champ says
Immediately I thought ‘U.S. travel ban’ …
Cheer Bear Girl says
I feel bad for the victims and their families. I think a Muslim ban is not only justified but the only rational course of action for our safety.
mortimer says
As long a majority of Nigerian Muslims view Boko Haram favorably, Nigerian Muslims CONFESS that they are a DANGER to the United States.
J D S says
Sure Mortimer….Danger is out there..it’s everyjwhere, it’d everywhere,…Seems that the tentacles of islam is EVERYWHERE…At one time not so long ago, I believed that the rampage of Islamic terrorist, throughout the world, would bring the downfall of Islam as RELIGION. I thought…surely the world of civilized people , especially world leaders, would rise up and demand some sort of revision to the militancy in Islam
It I sure was wrong, instead……More kowtowing.
DHazard inh says
More dead mothers, fathers, sons, daughters,brothers, sisters, infants, toddlers. All innocent. No one guilty of anything that matters. But to far too many Muslims just living one’s daily life the “wrong” way is a crime that deserves a brutal death. And the killers are just playing out a nightmare, written by a sick man who died hundreds of years ago. “Look at me!”, “Follow me!”, “Rape for me!”, “Dismember for me!”, “Stone for me!”, “Kill, kill, kill!”. Muhammad’s words continue to echo in the minds of the angry and the evil, luring them to rain despair on the World. These former humans now measure their sense of self worth by counting the bodies left in the wake of their ignorance. Allah is their King, Muhammad their General, and they are soldiers whose sole mission is to kill until everyone submits to their worthless, outdated and barbaric set of rules. And still there are people who deny what is right in front of them, pretending to believe that all will eventually be well; the self appointed and completely deluded emissaries of Islam and protectors of Muslims. “Islam is peace. Go back to sleep and dream of a perfect World”.
Lydia Church says
Worse than outdated set of rules, the rules of islam never were valid.
But true morality is eternal.
That is the basis on which we can judge the acts of islam as evil and wrong.
DHazard says
You’re right. Muhammad never spoke for God. The history of the World is littered with people who pretend to have this special connection, usually for their own benefit. Muhammad forced people to believe his lies and, unfortunately, succeeded
mortimer says
Hazard, Mohammed was a SPIRIT MEDIUM as were his mother’s family. They were called ‘kahanah’ …. priestess of pagan gods and goddesses who would become ‘possessed’ by the spirits and then pass on SEANCE TRANCE MESSAGES from the beyond. Many of Mohammed’s ‘messages’ were ‘received’ in this manner, even to the degree of Mohammed rolling on the ground and groaning like a camel.
The Koran 2.97 says ” Whoever is an enemy to Jibrael (Gabriel) (let him die in his fury), for indeed he has brought it (this Quran) down to your heart by Allah’s Permission, confirming what came before it [i.e. the Taurat (Torah) and the Injeel (Gospel)] and guidance and glad tidings for the (Muslim) believers” …
This is the description of a séance medium. Jibreel is the Guiding Spirit.
Mohammed did not speak to God or hear messages from God. So Mohammed was NOT a prophet from the viewpoint of speaking to god, but he WAS a SPIRIT MEDIUM because Mohammed spoke only to the spirit Jibreel and to dginns (little impish demons).
gravenimage says
Mortimer–with all respect–I don’t believe Muhammed was channeling any spirit save that of his own sick ego.
mortimer says
But Lydia, Allah DECREES that Muslims should commit CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY.
J D S says
One thing for sure, muhammad…If he actually existed or didn’t exist……He never spoke with any being that was sent by the God of Abraham……..or of Adam.
Now I don’t know what he was smoking in that dark cave when he supposedly heard a voice giving all that crud that has been passed over…. how many hands?before it was ever written down, but I do know it didn’t come from God.
There has been a lot of so called (false)prophets since
time of Jesus and there will be more before the End Times, but the last of God’s prophets was JOHN and God said it all through him and there was, and is, no need for another prophet.
Indiana Tom says

The fish was not Halal?
Ray Jarman says
I blame the Nigerian government since not one has been honest since before Abacha. Obasanjo in 2007 requested that the government workers and military not to steal too much from its citizens. He did not request them to start fresh and be honest, no just don’t steal too much. The military in Borno State and the other states bordering Lake Chad, Chad and Cameroon has not taken the action required. I do not understand why the three nations can’t perform a joint effort at the same time to enter the forests and marshes where the islamic thugs hide and kill every last one. This includes any villager caught hiding one of them as it is apparent that they receive aid from the villagers. I also don’t want to hear that the poor villagers are too scared to fend off these criminals. The present government has been a big let down because it promised the Hausa people of Borno and other states safety and that the military would keep them safe.

Ray, Nigeria is 50% Muslim. Few of these Muslims want to stop Boko Haram.
Eigil the unheard says
Oh dear, Failed government gonna blame it on the christians
gravenimage says
Yes–Muslims are never going to consistently oppose Jihad.
Infidel says
The animal Muslim Khaja says: I mean to take as many of them down as I can. I’m not going to stop firing… If there’s like a two month old baby, or someone holding a baby…. I wouldn’t buckle in that situation.
This was the same thing said by Paki Jehaadi Ajmal Kasab during the gory Mumbai 26/11 attacks when he brutally gunned down a wailing 1.5 year old toddler who was wailing by the body of his dead mother (gunned down earlier by this animal). Later when Mumbai police chief Rakesh Maria asked the captured Kasab as to why he did not even spare a small child… Kasab replied pat: This is what Allah has ordered us in the Koran, to not even spare an infidel child in Jehaad…. and he would do it all over again if given the chance… NO FCKING REMORSE BY THIS ANIMAL.
Thus we can conclude that both Khaja and Kasab have been inspired by the same source to commit the same kind of ghastly crimes..
Infidel says
Here I’m talking about that mad Muslim Khaja who was arrested recently in Sydney Australia for plotting mass murder of Australians…

And once again, ZIP from ibrahim. Obviously no reason to talk without payment. Besides, since ALL internet from Nigeria is heavily regulated by the state, HE DOES NOT POST FROM THERE.
But leftysrunningcanoe and other “savvies” still continue to feed the troll…
StellaSaidSo says
I suspect that ‘Ibrahim’ may be two people. One ‘Ibrahim’ is slightly more literate than the other, and more even-tempered. And one uses a French keyboard. If there are not two posters using the same name, there must be two pc’s in Ibby’s Mom’s basement, and he forgets his meds occasionally. What do you think?
FYI says
Well spotted!That is exactly what I have always believed(including the French Keyboard,different syntax,insane ramblings,incoherency….}Good detective work!
Mr “ibrahim” Itace muhammed once claimed that he saw the mysterious “holy spirit” in a Nigerian graveyard which he believes to be satan..{maybe he saw an mzungu…a white man…who knows?}
What is funny about that is that the Holy Spirit…
Cannot be seen and… it’s not an actual dove.
(It’s equally funny that allah has no idea what it is either)
So anyone who claims to have seen it is clearly experiencing some sort of psychotic delusion.
{What is quite funny about the koran is that allah gets the Theology behind the doctrine of the Trinity so badly wrong that not only has he no idea what this “Holy Spirit” is but he also mistakenly seems to think Christians are Polytheists:But Christians are NOT polytheists!
allah’s refusal to believe in such a concept as the Trinity {koran 5 v 72 -73} means he has absolutely no idea what this “Holy Spirit” is.
So what exactly is this “Holy Spirit”?Well, it is an aspect of God through which genuine prophecy is revealed{ see 2 Peter 1 v 21}All true prophets were guided by this.The is no evidence that the “prophet” muhammed knew about it:but then allah didn’t understand what it was either.
allah doesn’t know what it is… and itace muhammed calls it satan
believing in 3 aspects of God is not the same as a 3-god polytheistic system.
Yet,hilariously,allah does not understand that!}

I also wonder what he was doing lurking in a Christian cemetery? Maybe desecrating the graves?

Graven, this sick-o probably was.

Islam-a religion of peace.

This was the fish market … Wonder what’s in store for the pig market once the muslims get there?
Billy Chickens says
Hmmm. I wonder where Ibrahim I.M. was at the time.
