This helps explain why Boko Haram has been able to operate with impunity, and the Nigerian government has appeared to be unable or unwilling to stop it. If Muslims at high levels of the government sympathize with the group, they may have been able to stymie attempts to stop it. “Report: 10 generals guilty of […]

Nigeria: Islamic jihadists murder dozens with bombs near school and beer halls
Boko Haram, the Congregation of the People of the Sunnah for Dawah and Jihad, is able to operate with complete impunity, and the Nigerian government, despite its vows to stop the group, is clearly powerless to do so. “Dozens feared dead in Nigeria blast,” by Ibrahim Abdulaziz, Associated Press, June 2, 2014 (thanks to Jerk […]
Nigeria: Islamic jihadists of Boko Haram murder 54 people in two new attacks
Clearly the Nigerian government can or will do nothing to stop Boko Haram, the Party of the People of the Sunnah for Dawah and Jihad. They operate with complete impunity and commit jihad murder at will. Meanwhile, the international media eye is growing bored with the story of the abducted girls, and soon Boko Haram […]
Nigeria’s military knows where abducted girls are, but won’t rescue them
“We can’t go and kill our girls in the name of trying to get them back.” That is indeed so; it is likely that the Party of the People of the Sunnah for Dawah and Jihad, a.k.a. Boko Haram, would murder the girls if there were a rescue attempt. This is in accord with Islamic […]
Nigeria: Islamic jihadists of Boko Haram murder 24 people in attack on crowded market
If they keep this up, we’re going to need a new hashtag. They had demanded that these villagers give them $1500 for Allah’s work, but they were only able to raise $40. Thus jihad mass murder naturally ensued. “Boko Haram kills another 24 in fresh Borno attack,” by Ndahi Marama, Vanguard, May 26, 2014 (thanks […]
Nigeria: Islamic jihadist murders two in bungled jihad/martyrdom suicide bombing
Islamic jihadists are apparently able to operate with complete impunity in Nigeria, with government and law enforcement officials either unable to stop them or, because they share their worldview, unwilling to do so. “Officials: Another explosion in Jos, Nigeria,” Associated Press, May 24, 2014: JOS, Nigeria (AP) — A bungled bomb killed three people, including […]
Nigeria: Islamic jihadists of Boko Haram murder at least 29 farm workers
An intriguing parallel: “We came to Khaybar by night, and the apostle passed the night there; and when morning came he did not hear the call to prayer, so he rode and we rode with him. We met the workers of Khaybar coming out in the morning with their spades and baskets. When they saw […]
Obama sends 80 U.S. troops to Chad to help search for Nigerian schoolgirls
This move is an absolute masterpiece of style over substance. The girls were not from Chad, but from Nigeria. Does the U.S. government have any reason to believe that they are now in Chad? No, this isn’t based on any new intelligence. These 80 troops will fly reconnaissance missions to look for the girls. But […]
UK Muslimas: Kidnapped Nigerian girls’ conversion to Islam no surprise, because Islam liberates women
“War is deceit,” said Muhammad, and these women got the message: they actually have the audacity to say that girls who were kidnapped, enslaved, and forcibly converted have been “liberated” — echoing, mind you, the words of Boko Haram leader Abubakar Shekau. Anyway, here’s how Islam liberates women: The Qur’an likens a woman to a […]
Nigeria: Islamic jihadists murder at least 118 with bombs in crowded Jos business district
