My contact in Nigeria informs me that “bandits” is a euphemism the Nigerian government and media use for Islamic jihadis.
“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).

Jesus said of satan the devil, “The thief comes to steal, kill and destroy.”
Jesus said of those who oppose Him, His disciples, and oppose doing the right thing, “You are from your father the devil and you wish to do the desires of your father.”
mozlums are copying, “doing the desires of,” satan in “stealing, killing and destroying,” all who are not like them. And even murdering some who are like them.
2 Thessalonians 1 tells us the solution. which is coming.

Killing, kidnapping, raping, torturing, robbing and stealing, these are what jihadists do for the sake of Allah with examplaries from Islamic phrophet..
It should give a very good idea of what kind of religion Islam is.

You are so very right but under our new pseudo islamic parliament should anybody repeat your words of truth on a social media site then they would expect a visit from the thought police i.e. the Starmer Troopers.

Nigeria Islamist are living the written word of Mohammed, following sharia law to the exact wording without thought there could be a better way to live and treat others. Read Reliance of the Traveller: Islamic Sacred LAW. Learn their mentality.
On the government statements about these Bandit Muslims, how much are they taking in bribes to save their life, for a short time anyway.
