No “Islamophobia” was committed, however, so the international media will pass this one by without comment.
“Thirteen Boko Haram fighters, four civilians killed in Niger, says military,” AFP, July 2, 2021 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
Thirteen Boko Haram fighters have been killed in clashes in southeast Niger while four civilians have been executed by the jihadists, a mixed African military force said Thursday.
Boko Haram fighters aboard ten vehicles sprang an ambush on soldiers on Tuesday evening along the road between Diffa and Maine Soroa, the Mixed Multinational Force (FMM) said in a statement.
“This attack was foiled thanks to the bravery of our ground and air forces,” said the FMM, which is made up of soldiers from Nigeria, Chad, Niger and Cameroon.
Before the attack, the assailants intercepted a bus transporting passengers and attacked “peaceful villagers,” it said.
“Four civilians were executed by the enemy,” including the bus driver, two villagers and a village chief, the MMF said.
It added that six soldiers and two female civilians were wounded….

The mainstream media can’t decide which black lives matter more in this story – the peaceful villagers or the “mostly” peaceful Jihadists. So, they decide none of it matters at all.

Seconded, CES.
The Western MSM is arguably one of the poorest excuses of any group of human beings in all of history considering the many opportunities of all kinds presented to them, including affluence, educational opportunities—and freedom such as no other civilization explored and developed as the West has.
The Western MSM has largely wasted all of these advantages in its idiotic agenda to prove to all that Western Civilization is the real culprit while all along Western Civilization, even with its faults, is the best chance mankind has ever had.
Talk about stupid. For me, the bulk of the Western MSM = stupidity on steroids. One only needs to “tune in” to MSNBC, CNN, the BBC, the CBC et al. for confirmation of this hypothesis which I take no joy in stating.
There is dumb and then there is really dumb. Islam is dumb; the modern Western Left as evidenced by the MSM is really dumb. It’s a no-brainer here.

Yes, seems like there would be lots and lots of job openings for journalists wishing to go to Africa and report on what is happening there – especially job openings for black journalists. Don Lemon comes to mind first and foremost. But I think there is a difference between being black in Africa and being a Black in the U.S. There’s also a difference between being gay in Africa and being gay in the U.S. Still, Don Lemon could report those differences to us, live and on the spot. But he won’t because it’s really hard to do that and he just might get killed if he left the safety of his studio. But then, maybe he’s not as dumb as he seems.
Wellington says
Don Lemon, CES, might not be as dumb as he often seems (questionable), but he is a rake for excoriating America as he regularly does.
What a truly despicable parasite he is—and he will never go to a place like Niger and openly report on gay rights in such a country.
Meanwhile, though, Lemon will often use the bogus term, “Islamophobia,” in an attempt to marginalize Western conservatives all the more. In short, he is a skank—and a coward. .
CogitoErgoSum says
Yes, Don Lemon is pretty dumb (along with his buddy, Chris Cuomo). My favorite thing Don Lemon ever said was that God doesn’t judge. That is solid gold – especially coming from a man who does not believe God even exists. I’m waiting for the man to run for President – and win – but maybe Judgment Day will come before that.

CogitoErgoSum,
You certainly are correct regarding Don Lemon.
He’s nice and safe in the United States spewing garbage and enjoying his seven-figure salary from CNN.
I couldn’t live with myself – but I guess he can…

I’m currently making my way through Thomas Sowell’s “Black Rednecks/White Liberals.” In this book Sowell points out that the currently dominant form of Black culture in the United States is actually an outgrowth of the southern redneck/cracker culture of ignorance and arrogance of the Old South – which itself was transplanted to the southern United States from the northern part of England and its border area with Scotland. White liberals who once mocked this type of culture are now openly supporting it and helping it to grow. How some people can hang on every word that a fool like Don Lemon utters and ignore a man as intelligent as Thomas Sowell makes me want to laugh and cry at the same time and leads me to believe a second, even worse civil war is on the way.

Thomas Sowell is an important thinker–and a brave man.

Niger: Muslims stop bus, murder the bus driver, two villagers and a village chief
…………….
Just hideous. At least glad this story was picked up by Agence France Presse.
Kashyap says
Muslims a curse on “civilized humanity. What is tragic is the lack of will / passively watching the brutality/not to tackle the menace of Jihad.?
OLD GUY says
Islam-o-murder is a more correct term than Islamophobia. Than again it could be Islam-o-rape running a close second.
