The bombers were likely happy to ensure their place in paradise: “Indeed, Allah has bought from the believers their lives and their wealth, because the garden will be theirs, they will fight in the way of Allah and will kill and be killed. It is a promise that is binding on him in the Torah and the Gospel and the Qur’an. Who fulfills his covenant better than Allah? Rejoice then in your bargain that you have made, for that is the supreme triumph.” (Qur’an 9:111)
“23 killed, 108 wounded in suspected suicide bombings in northeast Nigeria,” Associated Press, March 17, 2026 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
MAIDUGURI, Nigeria (AP) — Three suspected suicide bombings have killed at least 23 people and wounded 108 others in northeastern Nigeria, police said Tuesday. It was one of the deadliest attacks targeting the city of Maiduguri in recent history.
Residents and emergency services earlier told The Associated Press that the explosions were reported on Monday night in crowded places in Maiduguri, the capital of Borno state, including at a major market and the entrance of the University of Maiduguri Teaching Hospital.
The wounded “sustained varying degrees of injuries,” Borno police spokesperson Nahum Kenneth Daso said in a statement, which blamed the attacks on suspected suicide bombers.
President Bola Tinubu, who left the country on Tuesday for a two-day state visit to the United Kingdom, expressed his condolences for the victims and directed security chiefs to “take charge of the situation” in Maiduguri.
“The Monday attacks were desperate acts of the evil-minded terrorist groups,” Tinubu said. “Our gallant military and civilian task forces will curtail and put them down.”
No group has claimed responsibility for the attacks, but suspicion quickly fell on the Boko Haram jihadi group, which in 2009 launched an insurgency in northeastern Nigeria to enforce their radical interpretation of Shariah, or Islamic law.
Boko Haram has since become stronger, with thousands of fighters and different factions, including the Islamic State West Africa Province, which is backed by the Islamic State group….

About those three jihadist/Muslim suicide /homicide in Nigeria ,as well as others who are just as much under the spell of the deception of Islam and after their beguilement they become literally as it’s term “dangerous to self and others.”
A “peaceful, non-violent religion “, indeed. That bogus claim spoken by the many apologists for Islam is 100% balderdash
. Many a times a jihadist had made a video in which he speaks of the many virgins that he will have a wedding with after he dies as a “martyr” in his jihad bombing In reality he’s only exposing who completely deluded that he actually is by the false and empty promises of Islam,
For Muslims do accept Jesus and a prophet, yet nothing more. Still the point is that Jesus taught” “You are mistaken not knowing the Scriptures nor the power of God. For in the resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels in heaven.” Matthew 22:29,30. [N.K.J.V.]
Therefore, according to Jesus such marriages those deluded jihadist talk about are not possible.
In addition, the Bible does warn about being taken in by religious stories , no matter how very inciting those religious stores might be, For in the Bible is warns against giving “heed to fables…” First Timothy 1:4.
Furthermore, coming of false teachers, as those imams and mullahs, who thoroughly indoctrinate such a dogma as of a sex -filled paradise into the hearts and minds of others had been predicted in the Bible
Which informs its reader “For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine , but according their to their own desires , because they have itching ears ,they will heap up for themselves teachers ; and they will turn their ears away from the truth, and be turned aside to fables.” Second 4:3,4.
In great contrast to the jihadist with his daydream of that Islam fable /story doctrine of a paradise with many virgins , the Christian has the reality of the Lord of all . Who is the Jesus of the Bible. Which reads in Second Peter 1:16. “For we did not follow cunningly devise fables when we made known to you the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eyewitness of His majesty.”

Actually. It may be better said that “Islam is a death cult.” As observed in this news report from Nigeria about the murderous action of those three devout Muslim suicide/homicide bombers.
For Islam is a religion that is also a death cult. For example, many times Muslim terrorists have gathered together and repeatedly chanted “They love life. We love death.”
Likewise, the Quran teaches “The believer fight in Allah‘s cause, they slay and are slain, kill and are killed “ Surah 9: 112. Islam causes many Muslim to become literally “dangerous to self and others.”
In contrast, in Christianity, which is centered of Jesus, He taught life and not death. For Jesus declared “ I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.” John 10:10. [N.K J.V.]

“Actually. It may be better said that “Islam is a death cult.” ”
I have been saying that for a while now.
James Lincoln says
Nigerian “leaders” want these jihad attacks to continue.
There is no other explanation.
somehistory says
Exactly, James.
They have been going on for far too long, without repercussions, punishment, or consequences to have any other. Not even any government condemnation, and no asking other nations for help to put an end to it.

Nothing demonstrates it more than the reaction of the president, who couldn’t cancel his foreign jaunt to the UK. Oh, did I mention – that he’s a muslim?
gravenimage says
So it seems, James. GIven that top leadership in Nigeria is now all Muslim, and no longer alternates with Christian leadeship, this scarcely surprises.
OLD GUY says
Oh where is the UN, the Pope or the media outrage of these murders of Christians in Nigeria? The absence speaks volumes.
