“We can’t go and kill our girls in the name of trying to get them back.” That is indeed so; it is likely that the Party of the People of the Sunnah for Dawah and Jihad, a.k.a. Boko Haram, would murder the girls if there were a rescue attempt. This is in accord with Islamic […]
Nigeria: Islamic jihadists of Boko Haram murder 24 people in attack on crowded market
If they keep this up, we’re going to need a new hashtag. They had demanded that these villagers give them $1500 for Allah’s work, but they were only able to raise $40. Thus jihad mass murder naturally ensued. “Boko Haram kills another 24 in fresh Borno attack,” by Ndahi Marama, Vanguard, May 26, 2014 (thanks […]
Obama sends 80 U.S. troops to Chad to help search for Nigerian schoolgirls
This move is an absolute masterpiece of style over substance. The girls were not from Chad, but from Nigeria. Does the U.S. government have any reason to believe that they are now in Chad? No, this isn’t based on any new intelligence. These 80 troops will fly reconnaissance missions to look for the girls. But […]
Muslim Congressmen and leaders to Boko Haram: “You have truly strayed from Islam”
Representatives Keith Ellison (D-MN) and André Carson (D-IN), the nation’s two Muslim Congressmen, and a host of Muslim leaders, many with ties to Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood, have published an open letter condemning Boko Haram, the Party of the People of the Sunnah for Dawah and Jihad, as un-Islamic, and calling upon the group’s leader, […]
Robert Spencer on KNUS Denver’s Peter Boyles Show on Boko Haram and more
This morning I was once again on Peter Boyles’s show on KNUS Denver. We discussed a wide range of topics, including Boko Haram and the universal denial of their Islamic identity. You can get my new book Arab Winter Comes to America here.
Nigeria: Islamic jihadists murder at least 118 with bombs in crowded Jos business district
Clearly Boko Haram, officially known as the Party of the People of the Sunnah for Dawah and Jihad, is deeply rattled by Michelle Obama’s hashtag campaign, and in full retreat everywhere. Anyway, even though international attention is currently focused on Boko Haram, the media is likely to ignore this attack, as it appears to have […]
Nigerian Muslim cleric tells media to stop calling Boko Haram Islamic, doesn’t mention Islamic justifications for its acts
The Chief Imam of Lead City University, Ibadan, Abdulrahman Muhammed-Liawal, says: “The judgment in Islam for anybody that kills his fellow being is death.” Actually, the Qur’an never says that. It does say this: “And do not kill the soul which Allah has forbidden, except by right. And whoever is killed unjustly, We have given his […]
Cameroon: Boko Haram murders one Chinese road worker, kidnaps 10 more
The Party of the People of the Sunnah for Dawah and Jihad, popularly known as Boko Haram, appears to be unfazed by becoming the focus of international hashtag indignation. Time for a Facebook page, Mrs. Obama? “Boko Haram kill one Chinese, 10 missing in Cameroon: Police,” Zee News, May 17, 2014 (thanks to Lookmann): Beijing: […]
Flashback 2012: Jihad Watch reports on Boko Haram threat to kidnap Christian women in Nigeria
It was right here at Jihad Watch on March 8, 2012. Here is the link. But of course, only racist, bigoted Islamophobes read Jihad Watch, right? Yet the only people who were sounding the alarm about Boko Haram long before the international media were those who have been tarred and defamed as racist, bigoted Islamophobes. […]
Christian teen whose father and brother were murdered by Boko Haram denied U.S. visa
Meanwhile, the U.S. is importing whole communities of Muslims from Somalia and elsewhere, and dropping them down in American communities without any attempt to discern if any of the immigrants thus brought in have jihadist tendencies, and without equipping the host communities to deal with what they might encounter from the newcomers. To take any […]
