This is not “extremism.” Abduction of Infidels is sanctioned in Islamic law and subject to particular rules: “As for the captives, the amir [ruler] has the choice of taking the most beneficial action of four possibilities: the first to put them to death by cutting their necks; the second, to enslave them and apply the laws of slavery regarding their sale and manumission; the third, to ransom them in exchange for goods or prisoners; and fourth, to show favor to them and pardon them. Allah, may he be exalted, says, ‘When you encounter those [infidels] who deny [the Truth=Islam] then strike [their] necks’ (Qur’an sura 47, verse 4)” — Al-Mawardi, al-Ahkam as-Sultaniyyah (The Laws of Islamic Governance).
Abducting Infidels and then ransoming them is a major source of income for some jihad groups.
Just so that there is no confusion, Niger State is in Nigeria, not Niger.
“Suspected Terrorists Storm Niger Community, Kill One, Abduct Six,” Sahara Reporters, April 9, 2021:
Some gunmen suspected to be terrorists have stormed Gurmana community in the Shiroro Local Government Area of Niger State, SaharaReporters has learnt.
The suspected terrorists were said to have invaded the community in broad daylight on Friday, killing people and burning houses and properties.
As at the time of filing this report, one person had been killed and six persons had been abducted, SaharaReporters also learnt.
A source in the community also told SaharaReporters that “yams worth millions of naira were set ablaze”.
“It is so sad that people are getting killed every day and the government does not appear to be concerned or doing anything about it. It is a shame that we cannot sleep with our eyes closed,” the source said….

Nigeria: Muslims storm community, murder one, burn houses and crops, abduct six
……………..
I’m almost becoming inured to reading about these horrors.
Another reason to hate Islam.

gravenimage,
Makes me think of the title of a song by the band Boston called “Used to Bad News”.
Yes, there is a tendency to become inured regarding these horrors. And that is a tactic used by the jihadists – which we all have to fight against.
Recall when Sadiq Khan, the muslim mayor of London said that that “citizens in big cities should just get used to terrorism….”

Committing bloodshed and murder and destroying things and causing misery are what the violent jihadists are most effective at doing.
So much so that they are very similar to the villains described in the Bible. Which reads “Their feet are swift to shed blood: destruction and misery are in their ways: and the way of peace they have not known.”
Romans 3:15-17. [K.K.V.]

How can Biden and Harris be so blind to the hate and violence they are inviting into our society through their open borders policy. It appears that our political leaders are not in office to support and protect this country, but are in position to enrich their families at the cost of the rest of us.
Trevor Loughlin says
The problem is that whilst the Nigerian army could outgun the militants, by the time they arrive at the scene their foul deeds are already done. QSC technology will solve this problem in a few months.

The President is a Fulani muslim.

“suspected to be terrorists ”
“Suspected to be terrorists,”…..nah, just your usual run-of-the mill bad guys…when the bad guys are mozlum.
Everything they do….everything, from rape, murder, hoaxes they perpetrate when they have some mozlum female claim her dominating slave scarf was snatched by a White, pickup truck driver, or a PD is sued for taking a mug shot of a criminal mozlum female, etc…..is for the purpose of instilling terror. Terror of murder, rape, kidnapping….or of being sued for millions and labeled by the government as a bigot, racist, “phobe,”….it’s all they think about day in and day out.
The perps will not be chased, they will not be investigated, they will not be caught and tried. Because they are mozlum in a country ruled by a no-good, no-account mozlum slime bucket.
They are “children” of satan the devil and they are busy carrying out the “desires of your(their) father,” and they won’t stop until our Creator…the ONE with the power and authority to put an end to their evil, along with that of their “father”… brings a permanent end to them.
