Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Nigeria: Boko Haram threatens Minister, says “How dare you attempt to stop the works we are doing for the creator”

Feb 29, 2020 4:00 pm By Christine Douglass-Williams

“The Boko Haram terror group released a new video Saturday threatening to kill Nigeria’s Minister of Communication after the latter stated he would interrupt the group’s lines of communication. Ali Pantami was appointed Nigeria’s Minister of Communications and Digital Economy last August and recently said that Nigeria needs to take the battle against Boko Haram to the digital sphere.”

There is also another reason that Boko Harm wants to murder Ali Pantami. It’s because the group considers him to be not a good Muslim. In the Boko Haram video Pantami was told…

“Our messengers are like the angels of God. How dare you attempt to stop the works we are doing for the creator of the heavens and earth, simply because you have become a slave to the western world and the country….I swear to Allah, you are nothing. Initially, we did not bother with you, but now you have become a slave to the infidels; repent now and become a good Muslim. If you don’t comply from now on, death will come to you, Isa Ali Pantami.”

Boko Haram’s official Arab name is Jama’atu Ahlis Sunna Lidda’awati wal-Jihad, which translates in English to “People Committed to the Propagation of the Prophet’s Teachings and Jihad.”

Boko Haram is responsible for severe persecution of Christians in Nigeria. Jihad Watch reported days ago about a former Nigerian Minister, Femi Fani-Kayode, the Minister of Culture and Tourism, who blamed Barack Obama, John Kerry and Hillary Clinton for aiding and enabling the Muslim persecution of Christians.

Boko Haram’s latest threat to assassinate Ali Pantami is not surprising, as Muslim-on-Muslim violence in rampant in the course of the jihad. But it is noteworthy that here again Boko Haram’s chief speaks as if his group were implementing Islamic teaching, as jihadis always do, in contrast to the claims from Western leaders that they are not Muslim at all.

“Boko Haram Threatens Nigerian Minister with Death,” Breitbart, by Thomas D. Williams, February 16, 2020:

The Boko Haram terror group released a new video Saturday threatening to kill Nigeria’s Minister of Communication after the latter stated he would interrupt the group’s lines of communication.

Isa Ali Pantami was appointed Nigeria’s Minister of Communications and Digital Economy last August and recently said that Nigeria needs to take the battle against Boko Haram to the digital sphere….

Although Pantami is himself a Muslim and an imam, he is Western educated, having obtained a PhD from Robert Gordon University in Aberdeen, Scotland, and is therefore despised by Boko Haram, whose name translates “Western education is forbidden.”

On Saturday, Boko Haram released a video in which its leader, Abubakar Shekau, taunted and threatened the Minister of Communication, accusing him of being a bad Muslim and a Western collaborator.

“I am speaking to those who pretend to be good Muslims but they are not,” Shekau said. “God will judge the hypocrites of Islam who use the platform of religion to achieve their selfish gains.”

“This video message is specifically released because of one man, who thinks he has the knowledge and is knowledgeable about religion. Keep this message in your heart until you die if you don’t repent,” he said.

Speaking in Hausa, Fulani, and Kanuri, Shekau said: “From today, you will continue to live in sorrow, because I, Shekau, say so on behalf of Allah, Allah hears us, he is the judge in the hereafter.”

“This warning is for Isa Ali Panatami; don’t think simply because you preach in English or because you are called a doctor, means you have knowledge of Islam. You know nothing,” he said. “Today you have become a minister, and you are feeling you can achieve your selfish ends. You must know that speaking English is not Islam.”

“You said you are going to block phone lines and other means of communication, to frustrate the activities of Boko Haram. But you must understand that we don’t depend on such to send out our messages,” he continued.

“Our messengers are like the angels of God. How dare you attempt to stop the works we are doing for the creator of the heavens and earth, simply because you have become a slave to the western world and the country,” Shekau said.

“I swear to Allah, you are nothing. Initially, we did not bother with you, but now you have become a slave to the infidels; repent now and become a good Muslim. If you don’t comply from now on, death will come to you, Isa Ali Pantami,” he warned….

    “Our messengers are like the angels of God. How dare you attempt to stop the works we are doing for the creator of the heavens and earth…”

    The question is, which god? They definitely aren’t doing the works of the Creator of the heavens and earth, for if they were, they would be merciful and kind. The kind of works they are doing (killing, destruction, and enslavement) indicate that the name of their god is “Satan”, for those are the kinds of works that Satan does.

    The ‘works’ of Mohammed: terrorism, polygamy, enslavement, rape, torture, fgm, segregation, robbery, vandalism, assassination, mutilation, ethnic cleansing, genocide, spurious revelations, taqiyya, treaty breaking, extortion.

    Is that what Boko Haram considers ‘divine’?

    Conclusion: ‘moderate’ Muslims are considered ‘bad’, compromising, non-practicing Muslims.

    Quote from Boko Haram: “…you have become a slave to the infidels; repent now and become a good Muslim.”

    So … all compromise is off the table … all or nothing.

    I’m surprised that Abubakar Shekau has lived this long. They need a few squads of canine soldiers to sniff him out and hunt him down to his underground lair.

      Mortimer, I know full well that you know that as long as Buhari is the president, nothing will really happen. At most he will sacrifice a few of his brave soldiers to save face. Also, pertaining to your first posting, the answer to your rhetorical query is a loud and sounding, YES.

    satan the devil began life as an angel of God, over the “garden of Eden.” But, he thought way too much of himself, thinking he was too important, and he challenged His Creator,; and doing so, became the demon, the devil, the satan, he is today.

    satan is a liar and “the father of the lie.” The only things this demon “creates,” are trouble, death, sorrow and all of the evil, etc., on earth that men can scheme up. Boasting comes easy to the followers of this demon. So do the lies they spew.
    satan has deceived so many with false religions over the past thousands of years of man’s history on earth. islam is just one of many wild beasts that satan has inspired people to believe. Soon, this current wild beast of islam will be wiped off the earth, as will those who lust after its evil fruits and the demon who “created” it.

    The tragic truth here is that the Western Left, which essentially, stupidly, ignorantly and in other multifarious destructive ways despises Western Civilization, really doesn’t care about what happens to Christians in Africa.

    Christians in Africa simply don’t constitute a “constituency” that can further the Western Leftist agenda in any “useful” way. Hence they can be ignored, they can be disregarded, even though they are being slaughtered by Muslims on virtually a daily basis. Indeed, actually bringing up what is happening to Christians in Africa might very well be characterized by the Western Left as yet another example of “Islamophobia.”

    Yes, the Western Left is this idiotic. My personal choice for Poster Boy of the Western Left at this point in time, though other worthy candidates exist like Pope Francis, Justin Trudeau, Jeremy Corbyn and Emmanuel Macron, is Bernie Sanders, who just might, though I think it unlikely, become leader of the most powerful country on earth. It’s gotten this bad.

    So, prepare for this and take nothing for granted. Just as Communism and Nazism at one time appeared to be the inevitable wave of the future and had foolish apologists galore, so is it the case now with Western Leftism.

    Western Leftism in its full panoply of nonsense, and quite popular as it is with untold millions, only reveals how much mankind never really learns. Certain individuals learn, the very best of these advancing the human condition, but mankind as a whole tends to remain in moronic mode and thus pulls the human race backwards again and again. This is the way of things. Always has been. Very likely always will be.

      A very depressing – yet accurate post.

    The ideology of Islam is one evil system. If one Muslim considers another Muslim not faithful enough to Islam the Muslim who thinks another Muslim is unfaithful can murder the Muslim that he thinks is unfaithful. So Boko Haram thinks they are doing the work of the Creator, they are really doing the work of the Devil, known as Satan.

    Nigeria: Boko Haram threatens Minister, says “How dare you attempt to stop the works we are doing for the creator”
    …………………

    The “works [they] are doing for the creator” mostly involve kidnapping, rape, destruction, and mass murder.

    God, I hate Islam.

    Islam has such an appalling version of what god is. I’m a Christian, so I believe in the loving and gentle God of Christianity, the total opposite of this satanically evil Muslim concept of what god is. But even if this vile god of Islam was, in fact, what god really is like, surely any decent human being would have to refuse to serve such a totally evil god, with its calls for constant murder and rape and the other disgusting acts which the Muslim god calls for. Any decent human being would have to tell such an evil god to get lost, they aren’t going to serve such a god. I think God has to be good and noble enough to deserve to have us follow Him. This Islamic version of god has to be the Devil, because this version of god calls for endless evil acts to be performed in his name. This god of Islam is very convenient for truly evil people. I don’t think these evil Boko Haram maggots are really decent, gentle people, who would really love to live peaceful lives, but, unfortunately, they just have to force themselves to go around murdering people because that’s what god tells them they have to do. This Muslim god is all very convenient for these evil monsters and all the other Muslim terrorist monsters fouling up the world. Islam, and its foul version of what god is, really deserves to be removed from this world. It should not be tolerated. It has perpetrated so much evil in its 1400 year history.

    For Boko Haram their creator must be the DEVIL. If Murder and rape of children fits their evil desire of the moment then they will declare they are doing Gods work and following the teachings of Muhammad and his Koran.
    If you are evil, hateful or a mentally insane person following the islamic Koran fits your mind set. Boko Haram is like a pack of wild dogs that will attack and kill anything outside of their pack. Boko Haram needs to be destroyed along with all other violent groups that target others around the world. There is no room in this world for Boko Haram’s violence and actions. Irregardless of one’s religious belief we should all be willing to respect each others right to freedom of thought and beliefs, without violence. Just like a mad dog, Boko Haram needs to be put down, they can believe what they want, but when they start killing others they are nothing but criminals.
