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

Nigeria: Muslim leader says “O Kuffar, you have time to repent to Allah before Allah punishes you with our hands”

Jul 13, 2020 9:00 am By Robert Spencer

The Qur’an explicitly says that Allah will punish people by the hands of the believers: “Fight them; Allah will punish them by your hands and will disgrace them and give you victory over them and satisfy the breasts of a believing people, and remove the fury in the believers’ hearts.” (9:14-15) But just close your […]

Nigeria: Muslim group says “Allah has instructed us to kill everyone that is unbelieving”

Jun 18, 2020 4:00 pm By Robert Spencer

“You feel we kill. You feel we destroy. Allah has instructed us to kill everyone that is unbelieving….We call you to join us to institute Sharia globally.” This faction of Boko Haram is likely now to run afoul of Pope Francis, who has made the risible claim that “authentic Islam and the proper reading of […]

“We pray five times a day, we pray Jummu’a, we sleep with our families, we hug, we shake hands, we are fine, fine fine,” he said on the recording. “We have anti-virus while you are infected with the coronavirus, we have anti-coronavirus; it is the Allah we worship.

Boko Haram top dog: “Our aim is to follow the tenet of the Qur’an; our aim is to follow the tenets of the prophet”

Apr 8, 2020 12:00 pm By Robert Spencer

Wait a minute. Lai Mohammed, the Nigerian minister of information, just recently said this about Boko Haram: “Lest I am misunderstood, let me repeat: the insurgents, who delude themselves as Muslims whereas they are nothing more than blood-thirsty, rapacious killers who subscribe to no religion, have recently started targeting Christians with a view to sowing […]

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 […]

Nigeria: Boko Haram leader says Muslim clerics “giving wrong interpretation of the Holy Quran”

Jul 3, 2017 1:56 pm By Robert Spencer

“If you are insisting on dialogue, we should have a situation where Muslims are ruling with Sharia, and the non-Muslims agree to remain by the side without interference, then we can discuss on their rights; such non-Muslims are the ones that could be labelled as trusted. But where the country is being run by constitution […]

Nigeria: Boko Haram top dog says “Qur’an is our teacher,” bombed mosque for its “ungodly” acts

Jan 17, 2017 9:21 am By Robert Spencer

Barack Obama and others repeatedly insist that jihad terrorists are not Muslims because they kill Muslims. Here is a clear explanation from jihad leader Abubakar Shekau of why they kill Muslims: “The bomb that happened this morning, it’s my people. Don’t deceive people that it’s a mosque, how would you build a mosque and do […]

Boko Haram top dog says “kill, slaughter and abduct” as military seizes his Qur’an

Jan 1, 2017 4:40 pm By Robert Spencer

His Qur’an? Why does he have a Qur’an? Doesn’t he know that jihad terror has nothing to do with Islam? “Boko Haram leader urges fighters: kill, slaughter and abduct,” Associated Press, December 31, 2016 (thanks to The Religion of Peace): MAIDUGURI, Nigeria (AP) — Boko Haram’s leader is urging his fighters to “kill, slaughter and […]

Boko Haram’s new top dog to old one: Mission was to kill “only Christians”

Aug 6, 2016 1:50 pm By Robert Spencer

This address from Abu Musab al-Barnawi to his predecessor as the leader of Boko Haram, Abubakar Shekau, is a carefully reasoned argument from the Qur’an: Shekau, according to al-Barnawi, has transgressed against the Qur’an’s prohibition on Muslims killing other Muslims (4:92). In the course of his discourse he notes that Shekau contends that the Muslims […]

Boko Haram’s new leader vows to “kill every Christian,” “blow up every Church”

Aug 4, 2016 6:39 pm By Christine Douglass-Williams

The new leader of Boko Haram, just appointed by the Islamic State, has vowed to end his attacks on fellow Muslims regarded by the group as infidels, and instead focus on Christians. Abu Musab al-Barnawi, who replaces Abubakar Shekau, has accused the West of trying to “Christianize the region” and says he will “blow up every […]

Nigeria Muslim leader: “We are running our caliphate, our Islamic caliphate. We follow the Koran.”

Sep 21, 2015 10:37 am By Robert Spencer

Boko Haram’s caliphate is that of the Islamic State. Boko Haram pledged allegiance to the Islamic State several months ago, and renamed itself the Islamic State in West Africa. It would be refreshing if some moderate Muslim leader in the West would explain to us exactly how Shekau (or his “clone”) and his group are […]

Islamic State in Nigeria murders 23 in jihad attacks on Chad police

Jun 18, 2015 4:25 pm By Robert Spencer

Boko Haram has pledged allegiance to the Islamic State. “Boko Haram Attacks: 23 dead in suicide bomb attacks on Chad police,” by Anisha Jenyfer Solomon, PrepSure, June 16, 2015 (thanks to Pamela Geller): On June 15, 2015, twenty-three people were killed in an attack by suicide bombers who blew themselves up in attacks targeting police […]

Boko Haram renames itself Islamic State in West Africa

Apr 24, 2015 10:15 am By Robert Spencer

Boko Haram leader Abubakar Shekau has already pledged allegiance to the Islamic State. Now he is solidifying the alliance. “Boko Haram: Terrorist group changes name to ‘Islamic State in West Africa,’” by ‘Jola Sotubo, Pulse, April 23, 2015: According to reports, Boko Haram has changed its name to ‘Islamic State in West Africa.’ The group […]

Nigeria: Muslim leader says he’ll murder people who vote

Mar 28, 2015 8:02 pm By Robert Spencer

Because voting, you see, is governing by manmade law, rather than by the law of Allah. “Gunmen kill 15 in Nigeria during tense election,” by Tim Cocks and Bate Felix, Reuters, March 28, 2015: ABUJA (Reuters) – Gunmen killed at least 15 people including an opposition politician near polling stations in northeast Nigeria on Saturday, […]

Boko Haram murders 50 as it pledges allegiance to the Islamic State

Mar 7, 2015 7:06 pm By Robert Spencer

For the caliphate, now as throughout history, might makes right. The longer the Islamic State lasts, the more loyalty it will win among Muslims. The Islamic State now has the allegiance of jihad groups in the Philippines, Libya, and Nigeria, as well as control of a large area of Iraq and Syria. “Boko Haram declares […]

Robert Spencer in PJ Media: 11 Islamophobes Whose Full-Time Job Is to Vilify Islam and Muslims

Jan 26, 2015 11:43 am By Robert Spencer

Over at PJ Media I discuss some hate-mongers Linda Sarsour should focus her organization’s time on confronting. The Arab American Association of New York’s website describes its executive director, Linda Sarsour, as, a working woman, community activist, and mother of three. Ambitious, outspoken and independent, Linda shatters stereotypes of Muslim women while also treasuring her […]

Nigeria: Boko Haram top dog says, “We killed the people of Baga. We indeed killed them, as our Lord instructed us in His Book.”

Jan 22, 2015 12:12 pm By Robert Spencer

The book to which Abubakar Shekau is referring is, of course, the Qur’an. Somehow he got the crazy, Islamophobic idea that it calls for the murder of unbelievers. No doubt Barack Obama is on his way to Nigeria right now, to warn Shekau that he has to stop perpetuating “offensive stereotypes of Muslims.” “Boko Haram […]
