Now we know why the Buhari government has promised to destroy the Boko Haram jihad group many times over the last few years, but has actually done little or nothing to oppose the group or impede its jihad against Christians in any meaningful way.
“We are all happy whenever unbelievers are being killed: Minister Pantami,” by Idris Ibrahim, People’s Gazette, April 14, 2021 (thanks to Imam Tawhidi):
Isa Aliyu Pantami, President Muhammadu Buhari’s communications minister, once declared that he was always a happy man towards the massacre of those he considered infidels.
“We are all happy whenever unbelievers are being killed,” Mr Pantami said. “But the Sharia does not allow us to kill them without a reason.”
“Our zeal (hamasa) should not take precedence over our obedience to the sacred law,” he added.
Mr Pantami’s comments were contained in three audio recordings of his teachings in the 2000s, when he took extreme positions in support of the brutal exploits of Al Qaeda and Taliban elements who were on a campaign to obliterate the West and conquer other parts of the world.
He made the remarks while responding to audience questions about his views on Osama Bin Laden during a lecture about the Taliban. Mr Pantami said of Mr Bin Laden, the late Al Qaeda leader responsible for bringing down the World Trade Centre in an attack that claimed over 3,000 lives in 2001: “I still consider him as a better Muslim than myself.”
Mr Pantami’s comments were translated by Professor Andrea Brigaglia, an African expert at Naples University in Italy. Nigerian scholar Musa Ibrahim of University of Florida in the United States contributed to the paper that explored the onset of Boko Haram in Nigeria.
Top journal publisher academia.edu published the research in March 2019, several months before Mr Buhari tapped Mr Pantami as a minister. Mr Pantami’s violent preachings, which he rendered in Hausa and Arabic throughout the late 1990s and early to mid-2000s, had gone largely unreported in the Nigerian mainstream media.
Mr Pantami did not return a request seeking comments from Peoples Gazette about whether or not he has eschewed his violent Salafist views….

It is only the uninitiated who is not aware of the bid to rid unbelievers from Nigeria. The government had given tacit approval to the annihilation of all non-mohammedans .So what do you expect next ?

The God of the Bible says 2 Peter 3:9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.KJB Idiots who say the god of Islam is the same as the God of the Bible has never read the Bible.

There is nothing in the King James version of the Bible that condones this.
Raja says
This is common knowledge and may not be newsworthy. Shame on world leaders who look the other way, as they may have their own Islam apologists in their backyard.
The leaders are deafeningly silent when it comes to Islam’s genocide and repression. The unwritten slogan remains: Black lives don’t matter.
Infidel says
Really? I thought that being unbelievers was reason enough for a lot of them
James Lincoln says
It is, Infidel.
But you knew that already…

Wde get this from pious Muslims all the time–calls for slaughter, but only along strict Islamic lines–of course just meaning that all unbelievers can be murdered. This is “moderate”, i suppose…
mortimer says
Isa Aliyu Pantami is a genocidist. He has no place in a modern state.
This man is unredeemable The government should sack him as a dangerous loose cannon on deck.

Mortimer, the Nigerian government is being run by a pious Muslim–as Robert Spencer notes.
Jude Cross says
They will never sack him. I’ve lived in Nigeria for over a decade — I know the people Buhari surrounded himself with in his government.
Walter Sieruk says
This Muslim communications minister of Nigeria has ,by his own words, exposed his malicious murderous Islamic mindset.
This vicious and malice filled way of thinking towards people who are not Muslims is a reflection of the Qu ‘ran instructions for violence and killing for humans who aren’t Muslims.
For example , the Qu ‘ran instructs in Surah 47:4. “Whenever you encounter the disbelievers strike off their heads until you make a great slaughter among them…”
Michael Copeland says
“I was not allowed to question any established teaching of Salafi ideology. The Salafists consider any criticism of Islamic texts as redda (apostasy) punishable by death and eternal damnation.”

Peter says
Who are the unbelievers and what are they not believing in? I think Moslems are still living in a clouded religious mindset. What others are to them is what they are to others. A better world cannot be the world dominated by Moslems alone because they do not have what it takes to keep peace in the world.
Michael Copeland says
Nigeria’s President is a Fulani muslim.
Some of Nigeria’s generals have been complicit in the slaughter of Christians. This, of course, is in compliance with the Koran’s instruction, “Kill them wherever you find them.”
gravenimage says
Grimly true.
Wellington says
Without a reason? Uh-huh.
Reasons can always be found for Muslims to terminate the lives of non-Muslims. The merest slight on Islam is reason enough and so is asserting that a true Golden Rule should exist for all which Islamic law disallows.
Any hesitation by the Kafir to obey Muslim dictates has served as reason enough for the killing of Kafirs. So, what we have here with this Nigerian Muslim saying what he did is just one more example of the kind of word games Muslims regularly engage in. Sick of this Islamic rot.
Keys says
Any old reason might do to justify murdering for Allah.

You didn’t give water to a muslim ?

Good list.
Just being alive is “reason” enough for those who lust to murder others.

Nigeria’s communication minster who declared the vicious statement should be further explained in more deadly than above. Therefore here it is.
Highly religious jihad- minded Muslims who were totally committed to following the instructions of Islam’s “holy book” the Qu ‘ran, which instructs Muslim who to “deal” with people who aren’t Muslims.
As the Qu ‘ran instructs Sura 47:4. “Whenever you encounter the disbelievers strike off their heads until you make a great slaughter among them…”
Firearms are a much more effective way of making a “great slaughter among them” than by using sword, as in the old days.
Likewise the Qu ran also instructs in in Sura 9:123 . “O you who believe! Kill those of the disbelievers who are close to you, and let them find harshness in you..”
There are many other places in the Qu ‘ran in instruct in violence and killing in Islam’s jihad. As for example, Sura 2:191, 4:89. 5:33. 9:5, 111.
In spite of all the facts of reality there are still some people who yet insist that “Islam is non- violent, peaceful religion” What balderdash!
somehistory says
Hey, you, Catholic preacher guy, you, the one building a barracks for the mozlums who are “not bokoharem.”….Are you paying attention or just paying the jyza demanded of you from these mozlums who are happy when members of your *faith* are being murdered…in the fields, in their beds, in their churches?
What do you have to say now to the “government that…you claim… allows freedom of religion” and says they are “happy” when those not believing in islam are murdered?
Is the pope, idiot in charge of the Catholic Church, paying attention to what some of his best buds are saying makes them “happy”?
How despicable….completely demonic….but he’s letting everyone know what is at the very core…the al queda…of islam.
Soon, it will the right time for him, and those like him, to “meet their Maker.” Those of us who are “saved” will then be extremely “Happy.” No more evil.

“Nigeria: Catholic Church builds mosque for displaced Muslims”

Donovan Nuera says
Never see any “awareness” rallies or protests by kente-clothed BLM or white liberal women on college campi about genocide by Boko Haram or Fulani “Herdsmen” against black Christian Nigerians. Ever.
Not to mention Mauritania slavery.
Heck, just 90 miles from Florida, the state security goons of Raul Castro (a caucasian) beats up the Ladies in White leader Berta Soler (Afro-Cuban) EVERY SUNDAY on her way to church with her peaceful protesting group of non-violent members (the founder, Laura Pollan was assassinated about 4 years ago after being jabbed with hypodermic needle by goon during an arrest and she died under odd circumstances a week later in a crappy public hospital). Crickets from Feminists and BLMers.
Walter Sieruk says
That Muslim communications minister of Nigeria spoke for himself and other Muslims of that nation when his said “We are all happy whenever disbelievers of being killed.”
The revealing words he spoke are a very clear and strong reflection of the information found in the Bible. Which informs its reader that “The thoughts of the wicked are an abomination to the Lord.”
Proverbs 15:26. [N.K.J.V.]

……………
This is what the Buhari regime is *really* like–and why his claiming to be fighting Boko Haram is just kabuki theater.
Andrew Blackadder says
islam= the religion of peace that laughs when non muslims get slaughtered… By jove, I think Ive got it.
OLD GUY says
Now there is the TRUTH from an Islamic leader. Sorry part is the political class won’t believe him. Amazingly these Harvard Graduates of the ruling class as they but it, either can’t figure it out or don’t want too. And along with that our FBI, CIA and Federal and State Agencies never seem to investigate the millionaire life styles of these people. Or is it that the heads of the agencies are in the same pay grade. Corruption and Cash go hand in hand. And there is plenty of CASH in the Middle East to buy POLITICIANS.
