Nigeria: Muslims murder at least 60 people, set homes on fire, chase those fleeing and kill them also

Feb 5, 2019 1:00 pm By Robert Spencer

Why is Boko Haram so fanatically devoted to murder that they would chase people fleeing Rann and murder them, along with killing people inside the town? Because Allah commands Muslims in the Qur’an to be merciless to unbelievers:

“Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah; and those with him are ruthless against the disbelievers, merciful among themselves.” (Qur’an 48:29)

“O you who have believed, fight those adjacent to you of the disbelievers and let them find in you harshness.” (Qur’an 9:123)

“Boko Haram Killed At Least 60 People in Attack in Nigeria, Amnesty International Reports,” by Amelia Nierenberg, Associated Press, February 1, 2019:

(DAKAR, Senegal) — Boko Haram has killed at least 60 people in a “devastating” attack on the northeastern Nigeria border town of Rann, Amnesty International said Friday, calling it one of the deadliest assaults by the extremist group in its nearly decade-long insurgency.

Fighters on motorcycles drove through the town near the Cameroon border on Monday morning, setting houses on fire and killing people left behind, the international rights group said in a series of Twitter posts. The fighters also chased residents fleeing the “massive attack” and killed several outside town.

Amnesty published satellite imagery that it said showed “hundreds of burned structures.” Many likely served as shelters for displaced people who had arrived in recent months seeking protection. Most of Rann is “now destroyed,” the group said.

The attack came as Nigeria faces what it has called an extremist resurgence, posing a serious challenge for President Muhammadu Buhari as he seeks re-election in two weeks’ time. His administration once claimed Boko Haram had been “crushed” or “technically defeated,” while the military has faced questions over low morale and support….

    Why do Muslims hate kafirs? They are supposed to hate according to AL WALAA WAL BARAA, an ‘essential’ teaching that all Muslims must believe AND practice or be excluded from Islamic paradise.

    ‘Baraa’ means to be CLEANSED from kafirs everyway possible. Militant jihad removes the kafirs RAPIDLY.

    Baraa is:
    – To Hate
    – To keep distance from
    – To be enemy to
    – To desert
    – To decline to help
    – To disrespect
    – To put down
    – Not to ally with
    – Not to support

    Allah ordered Muslims to have Baraa (to be cleansed) from the dirty kufaar and from kufr and shirk.

    -Imam Abdul-Latif ibn Abdur-Rahman Rahimullah said, “It is not possible for someone to realize Tawheed (Islamic faith) and act upon it, and yet not be HOSTILE against the mushrikeen (i.e. wrong worshippers). So anyone who isn’t HOSTILE against the mushrikeen, then it cannot be said that he acts upon Tawheed nor that he realizes it.” [ad-Durar as-Saniyyah 8/167]

      U$A to Nigeria:

      “..We won’t help you fight Boko Haram Until You Accept Homosexuality & Birth-control..”

      More below:

        christianblood, of course, desperately hopes we have missed stories like this one:

        “U.S. to Boost Military Aid to Nigeria for Boko Haram Fight”

        https://foreignpolicy.com/2015/07/16/u-s-to-boost-military-aid-to-nigeria-for-boko-haram-fight/

        And the US gave $852 million in foreign aid to Nigeria last year.

        I have not been able to find figures for Russian aid to Nigeria–but given that US aid over all is $31.08 billion ($95.52 per capita, 15% GNI) and Russian aid over all is $1.14 billion ($8 per capita, %0.03 GNI), one may reasonably assume that it is *much* lower by any yardstick.

        Whether Nigeria is using any that money to fight Jihad terror, of course, is a different question…

          Graven, after Obama refused to help Nigeria fight Boko Haram until it legalized ‘gay’ marriage and abortion Trump agreed ‘in principal’ to help Nigeria, Chad, Niger, Cameron fight Boko Haram with $54 million distributed among the four West African nations but only to safeguard US interests in the region after local troops and US soldiers faced a deadly jihadist ambush in Niger.

          Actually, that article says nothing about the US refusing to help fight Boko Haram. It just mentions an incident where Boko Haram is threatening people in Nigeria.

    MSM will never mention the victims – some research will reveal that they are Christian. For the lame-brains, this is just ‘another sectarian conflict’, nuanced, complicated, induced by tribal jealousies etc. Moslem Jihad, all the time, without end.

      All the West cares about is Islam, LGBTQ degeneracy and spreading dysfunctional cultural marxism under the guise of ‘liberal democracy’. US the West are backing the very jihadists that are massacring Christians in Syria, Libya, Kosovo and Bosnia!

      For instance, hundreds of ancient Christian churches and monasteries were destroyed
      in Metohija by the KLA jihadists that are backed by the US and Nato! More below:

    Western powers and African powers interested in justice, when will your ever learn, grow a backbone and move to stop the murdering of Christians? Until you’re shamed into it? That’s not leading, it’s cowardice? Or, is there some other [political] reason to stand by and watch?

      The leader of Nigeria is Muslim. I doubt hew has much interest in fighting against Jihad.

          GI, half of Nigeria is Muslim and the president (a former general) can only lead the people against Islam so much, because many of the voters are related to the jihad-terrorists.

          Muslims are trying to Islamize Nigeria starting with the north-east states.

          Mortimer, as a devout Muslim, I doubt that Muhammadu Buhari has *any interest* in leading people against Islam.

    You are NOT a fighter, a soldier, or a warrior if you attack unarmed people going about their peaceful business. You are a MURDERER… and there is a special place in hell waiting just for you.

    Just “resistance. You see the very existence of “non-believers” is an aggressive act towards islam and must be “resisted” even unto death (i.e. the death of the non-believers). That’s as far as these homicidal zombies can think. My apologies to the zombies.

    Ya know what frightens me about this, is that the “religion” that compels these murderous crimes is taught as divine truth right down the street from where I live. I live on main street America, and 4 blocks away is a mosque that proffers “godly” teachings that inspire the murder and terror we see every single day. I know beyond all doubt that the teachings and culture of islam will undermine our freedoms and safety to the point of ruin if we let it. Wherever you have muslims you have the teachings of muhammad and allah, which are principally based on ideas of intolerance and bigotry to the point of murder. Such teachings do not typically inspire the best in human beings, commonsense. Especially when those teachings are sold as divine wisdom and truth to live and die for. We have hundreds of millions of muslims hard wired to believe that the creator of the universe–if there be one–spoke his best wisdom through an illiterate-robber-killer. And the not-too-surprising consequence is the senseless murder, rape, and torture, of non-muslims and muslims alike. It was my firm conviction to not ever come back to JW and speak my mind. I had decided that my big dumb mouth was more trouble than it’s worth. But I can see that I lied to myself, I simply can’t stay silent in the face of so much terror for the sake of islam.

    Love me, hate me, call me a fool, but I will never, NEVER, stop speaking against this killer religion that bears little knowledge of love or truth.

    The most frightening and shameful thing is that the left wing liberal media will never say a word about it while harping on Islamophobia in the world .God save the world from liberal media and muslims.

    What would kamala Harris and ilhan Omar say about this?
    Nothing . They would push for open borders and screech about islamophobia.
    Liberalism is a mental disorder but it makes you wonder sometimes if it’s not just straight up demonic posession
