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, […]

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.

To take any […]
U.S. Distorts Nigerian Jihad
Over at Gatestone Institute (via RaymondIbrahim.com, where the links are), I discuss how the Obama administration is devoted to whitewashing the Nigerian jihad: While the Obama administration continues to say that the Islamic group Boko Haram’s jihad against Nigeria’s Christians””which has seen countless churches destroyed, and thousands of Christians killed””has nothing to do with religion, […]
Jihadist bombings in Somalia, Kenya, Nigeria more powerful in 2011
Imagine if they put that ingenuity and resourcefulness into building something constructive, rather than attempting to blackmail their targets into submission by destroying them bit by bit. It is far easier to destroy than rebuild, and easier to get attention that way, and so they become self-serving vandals, launching cowardly attacks against civilians. In Somalia […]
Priest in bombed Nigerian church reports up to 4 suicide bombers; attackers were prevented from entering church compound
