Nigeria: Muslims murder 14 farmers, 30,000 murdered in the region in the past decade

Oct 18, 2020 3:00 pm By Christine Douglass-Williams 15 Comments

The slaughter of innocent people by jihadists in Africa, including the ongoing genocide against Christians, continues to be virtually ignored. “The violence, which has killed more than 30,000 people, has spread to neighboring Niger, Chad and Cameroon,” while “3 million people have been displaced in more than a decade of terrorist activities by Boko Haram.” […]

Nigeria: Muslims attack UN aid helicopter, murder two civilians, including a five-year-old child

Jul 6, 2020 3:00 pm By Robert Spencer

Will the Islamophobia never end? Thing is, Boko Haram doesn’t realize that this is friendly fire. The UN has been aiding and abetting the international jihad in numerous ways, from its demonization of Israel and assistance to “Palestinian” jihadis to its efforts to intimidate Western countries into accepting Sharia blasphemy laws under the guise of […]

Impunity in Nigeria: Islamic State releases gruesome video showing their murder of a soldier and a police officer

Jun 15, 2020 12:00 pm By Robert Spencer

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 […]

Nigeria: Muslims stop vehicles and attack drivers with machetes, five dead, 14 injured

Apr 1, 2020 2:00 pm By Robert Spencer

Militia member Ibrahim Liman said: “We don’t have the kind of weapons they have to give them a good fight” — “they” being the Islamic State West Africa Province. Where does the Islamic State get these weapons? Who is funding them? The free world should be making a concerted effort to identify and cut off […]

“And prepare against them whatever you are able of power and of steeds of war by which you may strike terror in the enemy of Allah and your enemy and others besides them whom you do not know, whom Allah knows.” (Qur’an 8:60) “Boko Haram kills would-be bride, friends in Borno village,” by Abdulkareem Haruna, […]

Nigeria: Islamic State releases video showing it murdering 11 Christians

Dec 27, 2019 12:00 pm By Robert Spencer

“Islamic State released a video purporting to show it killing 11 Christian men in Nigeria, saying it was part of a campaign to avenge the deaths of its leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi and its spokesman.” This endless cycle of revenge is sanctioned by the Qur’an: “And We ordained for them therein a life for a […]

Nigeria: Muslims murder 65 in jihad massacre at funeral

Aug 2, 2019 3:00 pm By Robert Spencer

The official name of Boko Haram is Jama’atu Ahlis Sunna Lidda’awati Wal-Jihad: “People Committed to the Propagation of the Prophet’s Teachings and Jihad.” Doubtless Pope Francis is on his way to Maiduguri now to explain to these poor lambs how Islam is peaceful and they’re misunderstanding Muhammad’s teachings and jihad. “Suspected Boko Haram attack on […]

Nigeria: Jihadis murder 17, injure 34 in jihad attacks on Muslims ending Ramadan fast

Jun 12, 2017 7:49 pm By Robert Spencer

A Taliban spokesmen recently said: “Our fight is Jihad and an obligatory worship. And every obligatory act of worship has 70 times more reward in Ramadan.” Not just the Taliban believe that. These Muslims ending their Ramadan fast were considered heretical or apostate, probably for rejecting the authority of Boko Haram. “Boko Haram latest attack, […]

UPDATE: The death toll is now over 100. ———- Boko Haram pledged allegiance to the Islamic State and changed its name to the Islamic State in West Africa last year.

Nigerian army vows to end Boko Haram terrorism by December

Oct 5, 2015 9:33 pm By Robert Spencer

“In August 2014, the administration of former President Goodluck Jonathan made a similar vow, promising to end terrorist attacks in Nigeria by December of that year.” This vow will likely turn out the same way. Boko Haram, or as it has renamed itself, the Islamic State in West Africa, enjoys significant support among Muslims in […]

Nigeria: “Boko Haram marked me for death because I converted to Christianity”

Oct 4, 2015 6:40 pm By Robert Spencer

A hadith depicts Muhammad saying: “Whoever changed his Islamic religion, then kill him” (Bukhari 9.84.57). The death penalty for apostasy is part of Islamic law according to all the schools of Islamic jurisprudence. This is still the position of all the schools of Islamic jurisprudence, both Sunni and Shi’ite. Sheikh Yusuf al-Qaradawi, the most renowned […]

But…but…a kid brought a clock to school! But…but…Islamophobia! Boko Haram pledged allegiance to the Islamic State several months ago, and changed its name to the Islamic State in West Africa. “Maiduguri, NE Nigeria, bomb blasts: residents claim 85 dead,” AFP, September 21, 2015: MAIDUGURI (NIGERIA) (AFP) – Locals in Maiduguri, northeast Nigeria, on Monday said […]

Nigeria: Jihadists preach Islam at mosque, then murder 24

Apr 6, 2015 11:24 pm By Robert Spencer

Reuters is sure that this was an act of deception, and after all, Muhammad is said to have proclaimed, “War is deceit.” However, he is also depicted as saying that Muslims should first invite the unbelievers to accept Islam or pay the jizya, and then fight those who refuse. Did Boko Haram consider that this […]

Feb 1, 2015 1:47 pm By Robert Spencer

Nigeria: Jihadis murder 19 with bomb strapped to 10-year-old girl
