Shekau’s rivals described him as “the big troublemaker, persecutor and destructive leader of the nation.” Why? They objected to Shekau’s “indiscriminate targeting of Muslim civilians and use of women suicide bombers.” But jihad massacres of non-Muslims? They had no problem with that. “Boko Haram leader ‘kills self’ in fight with rival jihadists,” AFP, June 6, […]
Nigeria: Army arrests 10 suspected jihad terrorists inside mosque
Inside a mosque? But don’t these jihadis realize that Islam is a religion of peace that has nothing whatsoever to do with terrorism? Why would members of a jihad terror group be inside a mosque? “Army Arrests 10 Boko Haram Suspects Inside Kano Mosque,” Sahara Reporters, May 9, 2021 (thanks to The Religion of Peace): […]
What are Africa’s Root Causes of Jihad?
Relations between “Muslims and Christians in Africa on the whole, it’s been absolutely fine…for many, many years,” unrealistically stated Channel 4 international editor Lindsey Hilsum in an April 16 podcast. Focusing on recent jihadist attacks in Mozambique, she suggested that such violence throughout Africa resulted largely from socioeconomic deprivation, but Nigerian Christians, with centuries-long experience […]
Nigeria: Minister under fire for support of al-Qaeda says ‘I have changed my stance on some issues’
That’s not the same thing as explicitly renouncing his prior support for al-Qaeda and the Taliban, but many are taking it as such, and so this will likely be the end of the matter. Ironically, if Pantami had ever expressed support for groups that oppose jihad violence and Sharia oppression of women, he would have […]
Nigeria’s Communications Minister: Boko Haram jihad terrorists are ‘our fellow Muslim brothers’
Yes, this is the same fellow who supports al-Qaeda and the Taliban and insists he doesn’t support terrorism, which is likely true, as he probably doesn’t think of what the Taliban and al-Qaeda do as terrorism, but as jihad. And from this it is clear that he supports Boko Haram also. Did Buhari know this […]
Nigeria: Minister of Communications prayed ‘Oh Allah, give victory to the Taliban and to al-Qaeda’
But he indignantly denies supporting Boko Haram. “The Prophet said, ‘War is deceit.’” (Bukhari 4.52.269) An update on this story. “I Support Terrorist Groups Like Taliban, Al-Qaeda, Not Boko Haram— Minister Pantami,” Sahara Reporters, April 16, 2021: Though Nigeria’s Minister of Communications and Digital Economy, Isa Pantami, denounces any allegiance to Boko Haram, he expressed […]
Nigeria: Government outraged as bishop criticizes its response to jihad terror
Note how the failed Nigerian leadership takes aim at the Catholic Bishop of Sokoto on the grounds that the Bishop Matthew Hassan Kukah did not speak like a man of God when Kukah criticized Nigeria’s approach to escalating Islamic terrorism in the country. How is a man of God supposed to speak? He is supposed […]
Cameroon: Muslims step up jihad attacks on civilians, murdering at least 80 since December 2020
Time for the UN and the US State Department to issue more statements about the threat of “right-wing extremism.” “Cameroon: Boko Haram Attacks Escalate in Far North,” Human Rights Watch, April 5, 2021: (Nairobi) – The Islamist armed group Boko Haram has stepped up attacks on civilians in towns and villages in the Far North […]
Nigeria: Muslim leader says stop ‘using Qur’an to preach democracy,’ democracy is ‘ideology of Jews and Christians’
As the leader of the jihad group Boko Haram, Shekau is universally considered to be a misunderstander of Islam, one of the many who has somehow gotten the idea that Islam mandates violence against unbelievers. But the question nevertheless remains: where did he get the idea that democracy was a Judeo-Christian invention that is incompatible […]
Boko Haram releases training video of children brandishing AK-47 and Zastava M21 firearms
Jihad activity, including the recruitment of children continues in Africa under the noses of the United Nations and every so-called human rights-supporting country that celebrate the “religion of peace.” Training children to be martyrs constitutes child abuse by Western standards. Jihad training for children is also practiced in the Palestinian territories, as well as among […]
