Boko Haram boasts of slaughter as it rampages in Cameroon and Nigeria
Washington Post ^ | January 21, 2015 | Fred Barbash

Posted on 01/21/2015 9:01:02 AM PST by KingofZion

As thousands of Nigerians and Cameroonians fled for their lives from rampaging Boko Haram fighters, the leader of the violent Islamist group reportedly bragged in a video released Tuesday about the slaughter in the town of Baga and promised that there would be more to come.

“We killed the people of Baga,” Boko Haram leader Abubakar Shekau boasted in the video, first reported by Agence France-Presse. “We indeed killed them, as our Lord instructed us in His Book. … We will not stop. This is not much. You’ll see.” The video could not be independently authenticated. It was similar in format to earlier Boko Haram videos, featuring Shekau in fatigues surrounded by masked fighters.

There’s still no reliable count of the number killed around Jan. 3 in the Baga area of northeastern Nigeria, with estimates ranging from hundreds to 2,000. Amnesty International described it as “devastation of catastrophic proportions in two towns, one of which was almost wiped off the map in the space of four days.”

Boko Haram, in addition to killing scores of people razed the two towns, Baga and Doron Baga, damaging or destroying some 3,700 structures.

Baga, on the shores of Lake Chad, was supposed to serve as a headquarters for a regional African force to fight Boko Haram, an effort which has yet to produce significant joint activity in part because of mistrust among the countries involved in the effort.

““We indeed killed them, as our Lord instructed us in His Book. … We will not stop. This is not much. You’ll see.””

Leftists: “No, just as in the case of the crazed ragheads in France, this has nothing to do with Islam. These people are just angry because of Western hegemony and feel ‘marginalized.’ We must be more understanding to counter this type of unfortunate episode.”

Me: “Nuke ‘em.”

What does that mean? The leader of Boko Haram is speaking, and he is surrounded by "masked fighters," but the Washington ComPost doubts whether or not it is real?

Hey, Compost, why don't you send one of your favorite reporters to check up on it? I'm sure Boko Haram will treat him or her with the greatest respect!

Notice that he says they are just following "the Book." Now, what book do you think that would that be, ComPost?

ISIS kills one person, gets worldwide headlines. Boko Haram kills hundreds, gets little. A racist would claim that it is because ISIS killed a white man, and Boko Haram killed brown people.

A realist knows that the difference was the video.

if Boko Haram finally figures out how to live stream mass kidnappings and murders, the racist will pop up saying that we are just angry because they have dark skin.

Africa needs to solve Africa's problems. We've got too many racists to be any good at it.

Islam: The Awful Truth

By Justin O. Smith

American Thinker

October 4, 2014

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/3211166/posts

Islam is violent and repressive, and its sacred texts are the heart of darkness at the center of the Islamic State’s inspiration and motivation, despite Barack Obama’s assertions in September 10th’s address to the nation that the Islamic State “is not Islamic” and that “no religion condones the killing of innocents.” Violence is an integral part of Islamic doctrine, following the example set by its Prophet Mohammed, and in the name of Islam and Allah, Muslims have been murdering innocents, since 656 AD.

Six hundred years after Mohammed, one of Islam’s most respected scholars, Ibn Khuldan wrote ‘Muqaddimah’ (Introduction to History), which explained: “In the Muslim community, the holy war is religious duty, because of the universalism of the Muslim mission and [the obligation to] convert everybody to Islam either by persuasion or force.”

Like most good Muslims, Khaldun’s inspiration came from ‘The Verse of the Sword’, Sura 9:5, “revealed” towards the end of Mohammed’s life, as well as similar themes previous to Sura 9:

Sura 9:5__ “...kill the Mushrikun (unbelievers) wherever you find them ... But if they repent and perform As-Salat/ Iqamat-as-Salat [the Islamic ritual prayers], then leave their way free...” Also Sura 9:33__ “It is He [Allah] Who has sent His Messenger [Mohammed] with guidance and the religion of truth [Islam], to make it superior over all religions...”

Christians Burned Alive: Where’s the Outrage? <[p>Raymond Ibrahim

Powerline

By John Hinderaker

From Pakistan, another in a long series of horrifying news stories: because of a (presumably false) rumor that they had burned pages of a Koran, a Christian couple was burned alive by a mob of Muslims:

Sajjad Maseeh, 27, and his wife Shama Bibi, 24, were set upon by at least 1,200 people after rumors circulated that they had burned verses from the Quran, family spokesman Javed Maseeh told NBC News via telephone late Thursday. Their legs were also broken so they couldn’t run away.

“They picked them up by their arms and legs and held them over the brick furnace until their clothes caught fire,” he said. “And then they threw them inside the furnace.”

Bibi, a mother of four who was four months pregnant, was wearing an outfit that initially didn’t burn, according to Javed Maseeh. The mob removed her from over the kiln and wrapped her up in cotton to make sure the garments would be set alight.

The most critical concern in all of this is to ensure that people don’t react negatively to the adherents of the R.O.P. We have to avoid the dreaded (non-existent) “backlash” that we have been warned about for the last 15 years.

Categorical imperative: Kill. Sometimes just for the visceral thrill of doing it, but Kill. It may be because the victims are not Muslims, which kind of voids the first directive, which is to inquire whether the person to be slain is first willing to convert to Islam, or to subjugate his life and property to the whim of the strongman Muslim who wields the sword. Only when the first two choices offered are spurned, is the Islamic strongman then authorized to kill the victim as an “infidel”. Question not answered quickly enough, kill them anyway

Or perhaps the victims WERE Muslim, but apparently they were not sufficiently fervent in their devotion to the kind of Islam that the Beaucoup Harem endorses. Kill them anyway.

Or maybe the victims were attempting to run away, and the slower ones were slaughtered, for simply being too slow. Kill them anyway.

Always kill.

Unless, of course, the hand of “understanding” is extended to them. In which instance, they shall content themselves with lopping it off.

It’s interesting the way socialists approach theological concepts but when it comes to Islam they are not the only ones who refuse to approach the issue. That even includes leading Christian clergy including Pope Francis.

Followers of Mohammed not only claim, but truly believe that God has authorized them to kill those who refuse to submit to their version of God’s will. That is a basic tenet of that religion. A claim which goes unchallanged. While it’s understandable for atheists which most socialists are, not to approach that claim on a theological basis. It’s bewildering why any Christian clergy refuse to admit it even exists and is a basic part of Islam creed and worse yet are unable to condem it.

The Koran and its enforcement of sharia law is a pseudo religious concoction using monotheistic selected texts taken and misconstrued from the new and old testaments. Both of which cite the Almighty has granted free will to accept or obey his laws and is the final judge not man. Sodom and Gahmora is a glaring example.

Yet followers of Mohammed under the severest of penalties are forbidden to read either which would refute that assertion in a creed which institutionalizes disgusting arab tribal views, observances,and customs. Claiming adhearants are authorized by our Creator to demand submission to it or suffer an ignominious death administered by followers of Islam.
