The Nigerian government has repeatedly boasted that it has defeated Boko Haram, the Party of the People of the Sunnah for Dawah and Jihad, or was just about to do so. It 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. In February 2018, it again claimed that the jihadis were defeated. They weren’t, and aren’t.
“Terrorists execute captured Nigerian soldier, police officer on camera,” by Samson Toromade, Pulse, June 12, 2020:
The Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP) has released a gruesome video showing the execution of a Nigerian soldier, and a police officer.
In the short video, the soldier identified himself as Lance Corporal Emmanuel Oscar, while the police officer identified himself as Yohanah Kilus.
The two claimed they were abducted while travelling from Maiduguri, Borno State capital, to Monguno.
The two security operatives were then blindfolded and summarily executed by two masked gunmen in military gear.
ISWAP is a breakaway faction of Boko Haram, an Islamic sect that has terrorised the northeast region since 2009.
The group’s operations have grown increasingly brutal since it broke away from the main Abubakar Shekau-led faction in 2016.
The terrorist insurgency has led to the death of over 30,000 people, and displacement of over 2.5 million in the northeast and surrounding border countries.
In his Democracy Day speech on Friday, June 12, 2020, President Muhammadu Buhari praised the Armed Forces for considerably downgrading the insurgency.
The president has long claimed that the terrorist group has been technically defeated, sometimes even after devastating attacks in the northeast where the sect has largely operated….
Max says
Buhari (or the prop of him after he died in 2017) is a true Islam follower and it doesn’t get any more devout than shielding and upgrading Boko Haram. That’s why he plans to release them(repentant ones) at the end of the month. Little wonder the headlines will tell us he is in shock. the shock expressing prop of a president. Next 2 weeks the papers will say he has defeated Boko Haram. I wonder fellow Nigerians whether Muslims or Christians flinch at such Boko Haram defeat news anymore.
Ray Jarman says
“President Muhammadu Buhari praised the Armed Forces for considerably downgrading the insurgency.” If Buhari believes that Maiduguri, Borno State is safe, maybe he should prove his statement by traveling there with a minimal security force similar to one he would use while in Abuja. I have yet to read about any measures that this repugnant excuse for a president has taken to protect Christians in Plateau State, Kaduna, etc. from the so called cattle herders that have slaughtered thousands of Christians. I still maintain that Buhari should be tried at Den Haaq for crimes against humanity. The American Embassy has a military presence there for the purpose of providing weapons and other needs deemed necessary by the Nigerian military and yet the Nigerian forces have not been permitted to destroy Boko Haram and no attempt to destroy Fulani insects.

The deadly disasters of ISIS jihad terrorism had ,for a time , appeared to have had subsided , much to the credit of the power and might the US armed forces which cause the Islamic “state” to lost much of the land it had obtained by its brutal ,cruel and murderous Islamic terrorism .
Nevertheless, ISIS might have a comeback, just like resurgence of a plague of as deadly infectious disease.
Therefore there some people who might stop and think and wonder then asked the question a very good question .Which is “Since ISIS had lost so much territory ,why haven’t the jihadist who make up ISIS just given up in their mad Islamic quest against the West and for the advancement of Islam ?
The answer to that question was provided in a speech by the ISIS spokesman, Abu Muhammad al Adnani, now dead, in this speech he had declared “True defeat is a loss of willpower and desire to fight…” he further explained “We would be defeated and you victorious only if you are able to remove the Qu ‘ran from Muslim hearts.” All this leads to a very important question: “Is the Qu ‘ran the Word of God or is it a fabrication of a man. Thus, is the Quran the truth or a fiction and a hoax ?” The jihadists, as those of ISIS use many verses from the Qu ‘ran as the main source of justification for their violence, mayhem and murders. As found in For example, 2:191.. 4:47 5:33. 9:5,111,123. 47:4 The answer is clearly given on pages 145 through 157 in THE ISLAMIC INVASION by Robert Morey in which he wrote a section on the Qu ‘ran with its self-contradictions. Just two of the many he cited are the following “The Quran differs on whether a day is a thousand years or fifty thousand years in God’s sight’ and “Who was first to believe? Abraham or Moses [Sura 6:14 versus 7:143]? The above is inconsistent and illogical. Further, Morey wrote about “The fact that Judaism and Christianity broke up into different sects was used in the Qu‘ran to prove that they are not of God [Suras 30:20-32. 42:13, 14]. Yet Islam has broken up into many warring sects and therefore cannot be true if the Qu ‘ran is right.” Moreover, Morey in his book shows many more contradictions and absurdities in the Quran, there are and how Muhammad incorporated extra Biblical and Jewish folklore along with pre-Islamic Arabian myth and parts of Zoroastrian and Hindu stories into the Qu ‘ran.
Furthermore, the Muslims claim that “the Qu ‘ran is the direct, literal word of God unmodified in any way by the Prophet who uttered them at the bidding of God.” Nevertheless, in the book UNVEILING ISLAM by Ergun Mehmet and Eethi Caner has shown that the Qu’ran was modified in the following account on pages 45. “Muhammad felt the need to improve on the words of Allah, since he changed Allah’s wisdom for his own on several occasions. A hadith tells of the nonchalant emendations of Muhammad:’ On a number of occasions he [a scribe] had, with the Prophet’s consent changed the closing words of verses. For example, when the prophet had said ‘God is mighty and wise ‘ Adbollah b. Abi Sarh suggested writing down ‘Knowing and wise’ and the Prophet answered that there was no objection. Having observed a succession of changes of this type, Adbollah renounced Islam on the grounds that revelations, if from God could not be changed at the prompting of a scribe such as himself. After his apostasy he went to Mecca and joined the Qorayshites.’ Other writers reveal that later Muhammad and his people did go war with the Qorayshites and he personally killed Abdollah. Obviously Abdollah knew too much and Muhammad wanted Abdollah’s knowledge to die with him.”
In conclusion, the Qu ‘ran, which is the foundation for ISIS, is not only a fiction, it’s also a hoax.
It also should be added that since the Qu,ran has been proven to be a hoax ,as seen above ,this exposes the entire foundation of and for ISIS ,which is the Qu’ ran , then this means that the jihadists of ISIS have taken up a stand for a bad cause. To be more clear and specific a very bad cause.
The Bible instructs “Do not stand up for a bad cause.” Ecclesiastes 8:3. [N.I.V.]

Where is Black Lives Matter protesting this?

It is unfortunate that the only way to truly eliminate the treat from a group such as this is to neutralize every last member of the group as well as any supporters.
Brutal, I know, but those are the grim facts when dealing with murderous thugs who call themselves true believers or devout Mudslimes or, for that matter any terrorist group.
