Nigerian security agency says politicians supporting and funding Boko Haram
Feeding the crocodile, in hopes that it will eat them last? “Nigeria security says politicians sponsor Islamists,” from Reuters, November 21: ABUJA (Reuters) – Nigerian politicians are funding members of a radical Islamist sect responsible for dozens of shootings and bombings this year in the north and capital of Africa’s most populous nation, the state […]
Report: Contacts between al-Qaeda and Nigeria’s Boko Haram are increasing
An update on this evolving story. Al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb grew out of the Algerian Salafist Group for Call and Combat. Here again, one finds “regional” jihadist conflicts finding common cause with one another and cooperating. All share the aim of imposing Sharia law, the purpose of jihad in all its forms. The conflict […]
Nigeria: Any Christian found by Boko Haram “who could not recite the Islamic creed” was killed on the spot
That was not a trivia or informational question. They were demanding the shahada, or Islamic statement of belief. Any Christian who was not willing to abandon his beliefs and bear witness that “there is no god but Allah and Muhammad is the messenger of Allah” was killed. In other words, Boko Haram was seeking out […]
Nigeria: Nearly all Christians have fled northeastern town after jihadist rampage
Jihad causes poverty. Not only are there now displaced persons, but where residents have to flee a town, they take their buying power and ability to generate wealth with them.

Nigeria: U.S. Embassy warns Boko Haram jihadists may attack hotels in capital
Jihad causes poverty, sapping resources, damaging infrastructure, disrupting cultural and intellectual life, scaring away investment, and above all, destroying human life. Somewhere in there, all of that is supposed to bring about an earthly paradise under Sharia. Funny how it keeps not working. An update on this story. “US: Bomb attacks possible in Nigeria capital,” […]
Nigeria: Muslims misunderstood Islam, shouted “Allahu akbar” as they murdered 67 in gun and bomb attacks on churches and police stations
Occasionally people ask me what I mean by referring to Misunderstanders of Islam on this site, or ask me to stop baiting the irony-deficient by doing so. In doing so, I am making a point, of course: we’re constantly told by the mainstream media, government and law enforcement that Islam is a peaceful religion that […]
Nigeria: Islamic jihadists boast of murdering 67 people
This latest mass murder in the name of Islam and jihad comes as Islamic supremacists in the U.S. are pushing with renewed fervor the discredited meme that “Muslims are the new Jews,” and that resistance to the jihad and Islamic supremacism is equivalent to Nazism and tending toward genocide, with anti-jihadists cast as Nazi propagandists. […]
Nigeria: Boko Haram jihadists target churches, police in latest wave of attacks
Boko Haram consistently attacks practices, institutions, and people who would interfere with their intention of imposing Sharia. They believe they can create paradise if they kill enough people who stand in its way. But they always simply wind up with a trail of dead bodies. “Churches, police targeted in Nigeria attacks,” from Agence France-Presse, November […]
Nigeria’s Boko Haram: “Whomever we kill, we kill because Allah says we should kill and we kill for a reason”
They said it. But surely, there must be some “underlying causes” to chase after instead of considering that they fight for the reason they say they do: jihad to impose Sharia law. “Nigeria: Radical Muslim sect grows more dangerous,” by John Gambrell for the Associated Press November 4: MAIDUGURI, Nigeria (AP) – The imam’s insistent, […]
