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 […]

Nigeria’s Muslim communications minister: ‘We are all happy whenever unbelievers are being killed’
Now we know why the Buhari government has promised to destroy the Boko Haram jihad group many times over the last few years, but has actually done little or nothing to oppose the group or impede its jihad against Christians in any meaningful way. “We are all happy whenever unbelievers are being killed: Minister Pantami,” […]
Nigeria: Catholic Church builds mosque for displaced Muslims
This is a beautiful, generous gesture. The bishop explains: “Well, not all the Muslims are Boko Haram (members), not all of them (Muslims) are evil.” And of course that is true. It is odd, however, for a Christian entity to spend money on building a structure in which the following things will be taught: Jesus […]
Nigeria: Muslims murder eight Christians, abduct four others, demand ransom
This is not the same incident as the one we reported on here, which took place in a different Nigerian state. Incidents of this kind are happening on a near-daily basis in Nigeria, while the world yawns: this sort of thing doesn’t fit the narrative, and so must be ignored. “Kaduna killings continue, eight dead, […]
Nigeria: Muslims storm community, murder one, burn houses and crops, abduct six
This is not “extremism.” Abduction of Infidels is sanctioned in Islamic law and subject to particular rules: “As for the captives, the amir [ruler] has the choice of taking the most beneficial action of four possibilities: the first to put them to death by cutting their necks; the second, to enslave them and apply the […]
Nigeria: Catholic bishop accuses government of spending billions to rehabilitate jihadis while their victims suffer
The Nigerian government supposedly rehabilitates and then frees the jihadis. The reality behind this, however, is that deradicalization programs are an abysmal failure everywhere they have been implemented. From the Jihad Watch archives: Austria: Vienna jihad murderer had gone to deradicalization program, was not considered a terror threat UK: Libyan migrant who went on stabbing […]
Nigeria: Muslims attack church, murder seven, including priest on his way to renew his priestly vows
Nothing to be concerned about. Why, I’m sure that Pope Francis is right now on his way to Benue State, in order to explain to those who killed Fr. Ferdinand Fenan Ngugban and the others at St. Paul’s Catholic Church that authentic Islam and the proper reading of the Qur’an reject every form of violence. […]
Nigeria: Muslim youths drag man from his home and burn him to death over claims he insulted Muhammad
What will the West be like in a few years? Like this. Right now we are only up to the stage of apologizing for insulting Muhammad and punishing those who did the deed with suspension. But this is where all that is tending. “Bauchi Community Torture, Burn Man To Death For Allegedly Insulting Prophet Muhammad,” […]
Nigeria: Muslims stop bus on highway, kidnap eight Christians
This is not “extremism.” Abduction of Infidels is sanctioned in Islamic law and subject to particular rules: “As for the captives, the amir [ruler] has the choice of taking the most beneficial action of four possibilities: the first to put them to death by cutting their necks; the second, to enslave them and apply the […]
Seven years after Nigerian government first declared them defeated, Islamic jihadis murder 30 soldiers
The Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP) is the faction of the Boko Haram jihad group that has pledged allegiance to ISIS. The Nigerian government has repeatedly boasted that it has defeated Boko Haram, the Party of the People of the Sunnah for Dawah and Jihad, or was just about to do so. It vowed to […]
