While the world tut-tuts Boko Haram (officially the Congregation of the People of the Sunnah for Dawah and Jihad) for abducting schoolgirls and selling them off in forced marriage, the jihadists are unperturbed. They can watch the news as well as the rest of us can, and they see the Western leaders covering over their […]

“They started shouting ‘Allahu akbar,’ and we knew”: Nigerian Islamic jihadists kidnap eight more girls, between ages of 12 and 15
“They started shouting, ‘Allahu akbar,’ and we knew.” They knew because the jihadis were shouting “Allahu akbar”? Ibrahim Hooper, call your office! These abducted schoolgirls clearly need some sensitivity training, so that they understand that “Allahu akbar” is a cry of peace and tolerance. Surely through your channels, Ibe, you can find out where these […]
Nigerian jihad leader: “There is a market for selling humans. Allah says I should sell.”
Here is the video referred to in this post. Note that while Abubakar Shekau is gleefully and fiendishly celebrating his abducting of the Nigerian schoolgirls, he continually refers to Islam to justify his deeds. His nervous motions are jarring. Does he still have a conscience somewhere in there, and realizes just how evil what he […]
Nigeria: Police arrest leader of protests over abducted girls
Here again we see the rule that non-Muslim leaders and spokesmen accept with increasing alacrity: do not offend Islam. These protests not only embarrass the Nigerian government by highlighting its powerlessness against a jihad group; they also bring unwelcome attention to the phenomenon of Qur’anically-sanctioned sex slavery in Islam (4:3), which no one wants to […]
Nigerian jihad leader: “I abducted your girls. I will sell them on the market, by Allah.”
Abubakar Shekau gleefully taunts the mothers of the girls he abducted, knowing that what he has done in abducting them has clear Qur’anic sanction: the Qur’an allows a man to have sex with the “captives of the right hand” (4:3), which has traditionally been understood as slave girls. The large number of girls abducted in […]
Nigeria: 329 schoolgirls abducted by jihadis raped 15 times daily, forced to convert to Islam
The Qur’an allows for the owning of sex slaves: If you fear that you will not act justly towards the orphans, marry such women as seem good to you, two, three, four; but if you fear you will not be equitable, then only one, or what your right hands own; so it is likelier you […]
Nigeria: Death toll from Islamic jihadists’ car bomb in Abuja now 19
“The latest car bomb comes five days before the World Economic Forum is scheduled to start in Abuja. Nigeria’s government had announced that 6,000 soldiers and police would be deployed to protect next week’s summit but with world leaders including China’s premier to attend, the insecurity now means the event may not go ahead.” And […]
Nigeria: Islamic jihadists murder nine with car bomb in suburb
This comes just two days after they murdered eight people in Adamawa state. And as the World Economic Forum on Africa comes to Nigeria, they are promising more attacks. But as long as there is no outbreak of “Islamophobia,” the global “human rights community” evinces scant interest. Priorities, priorities. “Suspected Terrorist Blast Kills 9 in […]
Nigeria: Islamic jihadists burn churches and homes, murder eight people
Another day, another jihad attack for Boko Haram, the real name of which is the Party of the People of the Sunnah for Dawah and Jihad. Sunnah is Islamic tradition and accepted practice. Dawah is Islamic proselytizing. Thus this group states its motives and goals squarely in terms of Islam. Yet to examine and oppose […]
Abducted Nigerian schoolgirls auctioned off to Boko Haram jihadis for $12.45 each
Two thousand Nigerian naira equals $12.45 US dollars. This articles is a bit unclear, as it says that the jihadis bid on the girls, but also states that this amount was a “dowry” that was paid to the captors of the girls. Possibly the twelve bucks and change was an average price. In any case, […]
