As the leader of the jihad group Boko Haram, Shekau is universally considered to be a misunderstander of Islam, one of the many who has somehow gotten the idea that Islam mandates violence against unbelievers. But the question nevertheless remains: where did he get the idea that democracy was a Judeo-Christian invention that is incompatible […]

Nigeria: Christian Schools chief won’t bow to state’s ‘pressure and intimidation’ to force students to wear hijab
Islamic apologists in the West routinely insist that Sharia applies only to Muslims, and does not affect non-Muslim practices. This is the reality. “Hijab crisis: Christian schools never forced Muslim students to join Christianity- ACSN President,” by Kolade Adeyemi, The Nation (Nigeria), March 12, 2021 (thanks to Henry): National President of Association of Christian Schools […]
Nigeria: Muslim group threatens to murder abducted Christian cleric within a week
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: Islamic jihadis forced kidnapped Christian girls to study the Qur’an, pressured them to convert
The irony here is that the same Guardian that has published this story will turn around and excoriate anyone and everyone who dares oppose jihad violence and Sharia oppression of women as an “Islamophobe.” “Smuggled diary tells how abducted women survived Boko Haram camp,” by Jason Burke, Guardian, February 20, 2021: The resistance began three […]
Nigeria: Muslims murder church elder and abduct three other Christians
You will not likely hear about this anywhere but here, because it doesn’t fit the establishment media narrative, that Christians are always white racist oppressors and Muslims are always victims. “Herdsmen Kill Church Elder, Abduct Three Other Christians,” Morning Star News, February 23, 2021: JOS, Nigeria (Morning Star News) – Fulani herdsmen killed a church […]
Nigeria: Muslims screaming ‘Allahu akbar’ kidnap hundreds of schoolboys, shoot one student dead
Hostage-taking 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 laws of slavery regarding their sale […]
Nigeria: Muslims murder eleven Christians and wound two, burn homes and food grains
Will the Islamophobia never end? “Muslim Fulani Kill 11 Christians, Wound Two, in Nigeria,” Morning Star News, February 19, 2021: JOS, Nigeria (Morning Star News) – Muslim Fulani herdsmen shot four Christians to death on Sunday (Feb. 14) in north-central Nigeria, following the killing of seven other Christians earlier in the month.

Nigeria: Christian who refused to convert to Islam enters 3rd year of captivity, captors call her ‘slave for life’
Boko Haram is not acting in an “extremist” manner in this. The seizure of Infidel girls and their use as sex slaves is sanctioned in the Qur’an. According to Islamic law, Muslim men can take “captives of the right hand” (Qur’an 4:3, 4:24, 33:50). The Qur’an says: “O Prophet! Lo! We have made lawful for […]
Nigeria’s military executes 6 Christian soldiers framed by a Muslim colonel for a crime they didn’t commit
This is reminiscent of Pakistan, where Christians are routinely lied about by Muslims, scapegoated, and falsely accused of blasphemy. Christians are brutalized in Nigeria while the UN Human Rights Council does nothing. Neither do other so-called human rights groups in the West, which are more concerned with raising awareness about “Islamophobia” and cracking down on […]
Nigeria: Jihad attacks in four local government areas force 2,000 people to flee their homes
Why are they fleeing? Islam is a religion of peace. It isn’t as if Nigeria were full of real terrorists, such as right-wing Trump supporters. “Nigeria: Boko Haram attacks force residents to flee,” by Ibrahim Garba Shuaibu, Anadolu Agency, February 5, 2021: Residents of Nigeria’s Borno state have fled to neighboring Yobe due to attacks […]
