When jihadis kill fellow Muslims, Western analysts use the murders to argue that the jihadis aren’t really Islamic at all. The Islamic State West Africa Province, however, offers a different explanation for why it kills Muslims: “We are fighting unbelievers; Christians and any other person or group going against the teaching of Islam even if […]

Nigeria: Muslims murder 33 Christians in one week
More news that doesn’t fit the establishment narrative, and so will never be reported by the media elites. “Fulani Herdsmen Kill 33 Christians in One Week in Benue, Nigeria,” Morning Star News, April 28, 2021: JOS, Nigeria (Morning Star News) – Muslim Fulani herdsmen on Monday night (April 26) killed 10 Christians who had taken refuge in […]
Nigeria: Pro al-Qaeda Minister prays that Allah would destroy critic, then deletes post and claims he was hacked
Pantami just claimed he had changed his pro-jihad terror views. He apparently realized after praying that Allah would destroy Deji Adeyanju that such a prayer wouldn’t fit in with the moderate reputation he is trying to cultivate. So the post had to go, and the ridiculous hacking claim followed. But the record is clear. “Pantami […]
Nigeria: Civil liberties group accuses Muslim leaders of abducting and forcibly converting Christian girls
Imagine the outcry if the roles here were reversed and Christian leaders were abducting Muslim girls and forcing them to convert to Christianity — something that would never happen and should never happen. But no one will take any particular notice of this. “Emir of Katsina, others ‘abducting, forcefully converting Hausa Christian girls to Islam,’” […]
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: Pro-al Qaeda Minister says his words were ‘misconstrued,’ he likes Christians, has Christian driver
He prayed “Oh Allah, give victory to the Taliban and to al-Qaeda.” He said: “We are all happy whenever unbelievers are being killed.” Now he says “I have never condoned terrorism.” “The Prophet said, ‘War is deceit.’” (Bukhari 4.52.269) “My driver, secretary are Christians, I am not a terrorist –Pantami,” by Kayode Oyero, Punch, April […]
Nigeria: Muslims announce plans to commit jihad massacre, nothing is done, jihadis murder six and injure two
Gyang Dudu said that although the jihadis announced the attack beforehand, there was “no security patrol of the area, the community was not fortified until the attack took place. These attackers are just doing as they wish and nobody is stopping them.” Might that have something to do with Nigeria’s Minister of Communications, an open […]
Ilhan Omar and Jihad in Nigeria
Kyle Abts is co-director of the International Committee on Nigeria (ICON), which recently helped organize the Ad Hoc Committee to Free the Slaves of Nigeria (CFSN), a group concerned with Nigerians enslaved by local jihadist groups such as Boko Haram, a faction of which is now the Islamic State’s West Africa affiliate. On April […]
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 […]
