Didn’t his study of the Qur’an lead him to realize that jihad terror has nothing to with Islam, as it did the imams John Kerry, David Cameron, Pope Francis, et al?

Nigeria’s VP says he has seen rich people become jihad terrorists
This would be an obvious point, just like the fact that Islam is not a religion of peace, were it not so often denied. CNS News noted in September 2013 that “according to a Rand Corporation report on counterterrorism, prepared for the Office of the Secretary of Defense in 2009, ‘Terrorists are not particularly impoverished, […]
Nigerian army vows to end Boko Haram terrorism by December
“In August 2014, the administration of former President Goodluck Jonathan made a similar vow, promising to end terrorist attacks in Nigeria by December of that year.” This vow will likely turn out the same way. Boko Haram, or as it has renamed itself, the Islamic State in West Africa, enjoys significant support among Muslims in […]
Nigeria: “Boko Haram marked me for death because I converted to Christianity”
A hadith depicts Muhammad saying: “Whoever changed his Islamic religion, then kill him” (Bukhari 9.84.57). The death penalty for apostasy is part of Islamic law according to all the schools of Islamic jurisprudence. This is still the position of all the schools of Islamic jurisprudence, both Sunni and Shi’ite. Sheikh Yusuf al-Qaradawi, the most renowned […]
Nigeria: Islamic State murder 85 in series of jihad bombings
But…but…a kid brought a clock to school! But…but…Islamophobia! Boko Haram pledged allegiance to the Islamic State several months ago, and changed its name to the Islamic State in West Africa. “Maiduguri, NE Nigeria, bomb blasts: residents claim 85 dead,” AFP, September 21, 2015: MAIDUGURI (NIGERIA) (AFP) – Locals in Maiduguri, northeast Nigeria, on Monday said […]
Nigeria Muslim leader: “We are running our caliphate, our Islamic caliphate. We follow the Koran.”
Boko Haram’s caliphate is that of the Islamic State. Boko Haram pledged allegiance to the Islamic State several months ago, and renamed itself the Islamic State in West Africa. It would be refreshing if some moderate Muslim leader in the West would explain to us exactly how Shekau (or his “clone”) and his group are […]

Savagery: “They opened fire instantly, which forced residents to flee. They shot a number of people. Unfortunately many residents who tried to flee plunged into the river which is full from the rain.

Islamic State in Nigeria murders 47 with bomb in crowded market
Boko Haram pledged allegiance to the Islamic State last February, and in April renamed itself the Islamic State in West Africa.

Nigeria: Islamic State in West Africa murders 29 villagers in Christian enclaves
Boko Haram pledged allegiance to the Islamic State last February and changed its name to the Islamic State in West Africa last April. The murder of these 29 Christians will pass unnoticed by their brethren in the West, since, you know, talking about it could harm “Muslim-Christian dialogue.” The weak and pusillanimous Christian leaders of […]
Nigeria: 10-year-old female Islamic State jihad martyrdom bomber murders 14 at crowded market
This girl may have been one of the “captives of the right hand” (Qur’an 4:3, 4:24, 23:1-6, 33:50) that Boko Haram seized some time ago, eliciting a hashtag from Michelle Obama — perhaps one that proved to be not as compliant as the others. Boko Haram pledged allegiance to the Islamic State last February. “14 […]
