No one will care. The world’s “human rights” organizations will be too busy with their latest conference on “Islamophobia.”
“Islamic State group in Nigeria kills 20 soldiers, displaces 1,000 people,” Reuters, January 9, 2020:
MAIDUGURI, Nigeria – About 20 soldiers were killed and nearly 1,000 people made homeless in a militant attack on a town in northeastern Nigeria, two residents and a military source said on Wednesday.
The militants entered Monguno in Borno state posing as a convoy of soldiers on Tuesday evening, the sources said. They then attacked troops inside the town, destroying at least 750 homes in the process.
Resident Gumati Sadu said people fled into the bush for safety during the fighting and that three civilians were killed by stray bullets.
A military spokesman declined to comment.
Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP) claimed responsibility for the attack on its Amaq news agency.
It said that one of its militants detonated a car bomb in the town, killing at least 8 soldiers and destroying 3 armored vehicles.
The group also said it had seized a vehicle, weapons and ammunition before leaving the town….

Robert Spencer is eminently correct, i.e., that no one (at least of importance and influence) will care.
Well, if this would come to the attention of Trump I think he would care because he is a very decent human being though so many still don’t “get” this about him (classic distinction between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton proffered by Dennis Prager is right on point, to wit, that Hillary Clinton comes across as a nice and caring human being, though underneath she is a jerk, while Donald Trump comes across as a jerk but underneath he is a nice and caring human being), but Trump already has so much “on his plate” due to the MASSIVE dysfunctional nature of most of the world that this particular tragic and completely unnecessary incident (N.B., Islam is simply “superb” at engaging in tragic and completely unnecessary incidents—going on some 1400 years now) will most probably escape his attention.
More to the issue at hand, non-Muslims in our Age of Nonsense are expendable while Muslims, if even a monster as Soleimani was, are to be coddled, praised and valued. Chris Matthews of MSNBC (repulsive network) comparing Soleimani to Elvis Presley and Princess Diana just the other day serves as an example of just how pathetic (and stupid) much of mankind is—especially where any defense of Mo’s creed still unforgivably exists by those on the Western Left (like Chris Matthews) who enjoy the many liberties pioneered by Western Civilization while still so often denouncing the West ad nauseam but looking the other way respecting the appalling monstrosities committed to this very day by just about the worst sphere of mankind, that being the Islamic sphere of mankind. Yes, in Chris Matthews’ world Trump is the great menace and not a monster like Soleimani.
Weird and pathetic world. Most definitely. Even H.P. Lovecraft and George Orwell, two human beings who comprehended the dark side of human nature with finesse and artistry, would be hard pressed to make up the reality of what confronts the human species daily due to: 1) Islam; and 2) apologies for Islam by non-Muslims (kuffaars) like Chris Matthews, Bernie Sanders, Nancy Pelosi, AOC, Pope Francis, Justin Trudeau, a ton of media and academic types, et al.
Yeah, very weird and pathetic world. Damn dangerous world as well, courtesy of three great errors: 1) Western Leftism; 2) Islam; and 3) traditional authoritarian types like Putin and the rogues presently running China.
Time for a beer (or maybe three).

Fine analysis, Wellington. Mostly grim conclusions, but I cannot argue with them.

Wellington says,
I must’ve missed this one by Dennis Prager:
“Hillary Clinton comes across as a nice and caring human being, though underneath she is a jerk, while Donald Trump comes across as a jerk but underneath he is a nice and caring human being…”
I have “intuitively” understood this, but I thought that I was in the minority. Many thanks for bringing this to my attention – it helps to confirm my understanding.
And Wellington, another excellent and fact-based post, my compliments.
And after a political week like this, I too will partake of a “goodly” amount of IPA….
Wellington says
Thanks for your reply, James.
Respecting specifically Hillary Clinton, my neighbor has a son who works for the federal government and has friends who are in security for government officials. Well, to make a long story short, these friends of my neighbor’s son who had to guard Hillary Clinton when she was Secretary of State in Obama’s First Administration said that she was the most miserable excuse for a human being they had ever come across.
This comports with so much else that I have read to the effect that, behind the scenes, Hillary Clinton is a wretched human being who regularly uses the foulest of language and tries to psychologically abuse those around her. In short, she is simply awful when she is not on “display” and I think this speaks volumes about this deeply corrupt, extremely high maintenance, despicable and profoundly foolish person (if indeed calling Hillary a “person” does not somehow lessen the meaning of “person”).
Hope you are well and enjoying a fine beer or two this evening. I sure am. Best to you and family.

Trump still cannot imagine that Muhammadanism ITSELF is evil. Muslim is the politically correct [PC] term for #Muhammadan. Islam is the PC term for #Muhammadanism. Sharia is the PC term for #MuhammadanLaw. Allah is the PC term for Satan.
#Muhammad lied to, betrayed, blackmailed, kidnapped, enslaved, tortured, raped, robbed, and murdered unarmed men, women, and children claiming the favor of Allah, who, in camouflage, is Satan.
Muhammad is the model for Muhammadanism for ALL Muhammadans.
Saying someone is a Muhammadan alone, is an insult. Negative adjectives, profanity, and vulgarity to refer to a Muhammadan are superfluous and unnecessarily redundant to the term Muhammadan.
There is no satan but Allah and Muhammad is the pimp for his whorehouse “paradise.”
Murdering Muhammadans is not necessary or desirable. Separate. Isolate. Quarantine. #Muhammadans self-destruct looking for minor differences called apostasy.#Muhammadans self-destruct looking for minor differences called apostasy. With their unleashed dogma unmuzzled by tolerance, they will self-destruct.

Nigeria: Muslims murder 20 soldiers, destroy 750 homes, make nearly 1,000 homeless in jihad attack on town
………………..
*Horrigying*. Where are the Nigerian authorities? With a Muslim president, likely nowhere in sight.

Horrifying

American soldiers and advisors are in Nigeria supposedly to counter Boko Haram and IS under military contracts with the Govt.
They can’t locate (and destroy) dozens of armed trucks and motorcyclists which have to be parked somewhere?
And who is arming and financing these savages?
Most likely Saudi, Gulf or Turk “allies” (or even the Nigerian Govt. itself).?
I think it’s the US Military which can’t handle the truth and so-called “evangelicals” (like VP Pence) who apparently can’t be bothered by eastern Christians or these African Christians.
The Pope (who should be leading the protests) is too busy washing muslims feet.
Hence, “no one (with any power to do anything) will care”.
Truly pathetic.
Yusuf Seferta says
All I can say is Thank God for a brave soul like Robert Spencer who speaks the TRUTH about militant and political Islam on a daily basis. No one seems to care about Christians being killed by Muslims in the Middle East, Africa and elsewhere, and that includes our religious and political leaders here in the West. Hopefully the West will wake up before it’s too late when Europe is islamised.
Rajaram says
Leftists or the rightists, a common international principle has to over rule every behaviour: “whoever takes to arms and justifies killing of the innocents be it under any tenet or religious belief, must be sternly dealt with, according to law, and the perpetrators severly punished, because these are all the virtual enemies of mankind and deserve to be condemned with every contempt they deserve!”. Sadly this has now become ‘utopian philosophy ‘ with the self destroying leftists’ narratives looming large in the world scenario !
