Nigeria Attack: Students Shot Dead as They Slept (Religion of Peace Alert)
The BBC ^ | Sunday, September 29, 2013

Posted on 09/29/2013 7:49:00 AM PDT by kristinn

Suspected Islamist gunmen have attacked a college in north-eastern Nigeria, killing up to 50 students.

The students were shot dead as they slept in their dormitory at the College of Agriculture in Yobe state.

North-eastern Nigeria is under a state of emergency amid an Islamist insurgency by the Boko Haram group.

Boko Haram is fighting to overthrow Nigeria's government to create an Islamic state, and has launched a number of attacks on schools.

Casualty figures from the latest attack vary, but a local politician told the BBC that around 50 students had been killed.

The politician said two vanloads of bodies had been taken to a hospital in Yobe's state capital, Damaturu.

A witness quoted by Reuters news agency counted 40 bodies at the hospital, mostly those of young men believed to be students.

College provost Molima Idi Mato, speaking to Associated Press, also said the number of dead could be as high as 50, adding that security forces were still recovering the bodies and that about 1,000 students had fled the campus.

A Nigerian military source told AP that soldiers had collected 42 bodies.

I wonder, if the West sent all, and I men ALL of the Moose slime to live in either Saudi Arabia or Iran, would Saudi Arabia and Iran accept the refugees? ... I didn’t think so. Is Slime is of the evil one, a liar, a murderer from the start. Even Iran (the real people not the religious devils running the country) doesn’t want these blood lusting demon possessed animals. And the Saudis, well they raise their own demon possessed animals.

From an earlier post:

The dangers to the world, including us in our neighborhoods and homes, is far greater today than it was two days ago. obama is being fought here and his time is almost up. He is going to set the world on fire.
Iran and hezbullah have set up MAJOR cells in south, central, and north America and all the islands in between. Turkey has one of the largest jihadi networks in the US.
The US government has been infiltrated from top to bottom by jihadis and some departments have gone completely over. We are in dire straits and we had better be on our toes. Seriously.
He has already tried and failed in large part to start an all out race war. jihad is next. It’s sll he has left.

Ooooooh...those fun-loving blood-soaked, murdering moozlums. How can this possibly be? After all, they are the “religion of peace”. I guess the murdered are now “at peace”.

Wonder what advice Elizabeth O'Bagy (faux-PhD) has to offer on this one?

Quick call McNasty's office...Lizzy works there now.

See my previous reply in the thread.

Same solution recommended for both countries, though... or all 3.

I would hope that sooner or later the world realizes that Islam (and leftism) is a mental disease

Love to see Christians worldwide start killing large quantities of mooselimbs in random attacks like they’ve been doing Christians and see the maggot towel heads squak about it
