Terrorists displaced 98,000 with 217 churches destroyed in recent Islamci attacks in Nigeria

The Catholic Diocese of Wukari in Taraba State has reported that 98,000 persons have been displaced and 217 churches destroyed amid persistent attacks that have now become a permanent feature of life in the region.

Wukari lies in the northeastern corner of Nigeria, a state that shares borders with several others and with Cameroon to the east. The diocese made its disclosure in a communique released at the conclusion of its third general assembly, held on Saturday in Wukari itself.

The statement, signed by Bishop Mark Nzukwein, noted that the displaced have been scattered particularly around the Donga and Takum Local Government Areas.

“From September 2025, there has been a resurgence of attacks by criminals on communities in the southern part of Taraba, especially in Takum, Donga LGAs and the Yangtu Special Development Area.

“These attacks have left scores killed, maimed and injured, with property worth millions of naira and means of livelihood destroyed.

“The records of the diocese show that over 98,000 persons have been displaced, including 16 priests, while 217 churches have been completely destroyed.

“Residences of eight priests have also been destroyed, and more than 100 persons have been reportedly killed,” it stated.

The diocese further condemned the accelerating pattern of land grabbing, in which the ancestral territories of the displaced are simply seized by the very criminals responsible for driving them out. Such behavior reveals a conflict that is not merely about violence but about the methodical erasure of communities and their claims to the land.

The statement urged the federal government and its security agencies to act with genuine urgency against the forces that continue to terrorize this part of Nigeria. It also called upon authorities at every level to take concrete steps that would allow these displaced thousands to return safely to their homes, rather than consigning them indefinitely to the limbo of refugee existence within their own country.

Islamic terror group kidnaps 416 women and children--deadline passes, executions imminent

The Jama’atu Ahlis-Sunna Lidda’Awati Wal-Jihad faction of Boko Haram has claimed responsibility for the abduction of 416 women and children from the Ngoshe community in Borno State. The victims were seized on March 4, 2026 after the insurgents overran a military base and fell upon the surrounding village. In late April 2026 the group escalated the horror by releasing a video in which they issued a 72-hour ultimatum, demanding a ransom of ₦5 billion, roughly three and a half million dollars, for the captives’ release.

The details chill the blood. 

Insurgents stormed Ngoshe in the small hours, torching military vehicles, murdering several people, and dragging hundreds of residents away towards the Mandara Mountains. On April 19th they published their ultimatum on video, giving the Nigerian government three days to pay or face the consequences: the captives would be moved to places “where they may never be seen again” or simply executed. 

Senior officials, among them Senator Ali Ndume, have rightly rejected the payment of ransom and called instead for a determined military rescue and a strengthening of security operations. A small mercy arrived on April 23rd when the Borno South Youth Alliance reported that twelve victims, ten female and two male, had escaped during a military bombardment of the terrorists’ camp. That left 404 souls still in captivity.

As of April 30th the deadline has long passed. The terrorists have reportedly abandoned any pretence of negotiation. The fate of those 404 human beings hangs in the most desperate uncertainty.

And where, one is compelled to ask, is the world? Where is the United Nations, so swift to condemn when it suits the narrative? Where are the campus activists and their chants of moral certainty? Where is the Western media, that self-appointed guardian of the vulnerable, otherwise so eager to amplify certain causes? 

The silence is as eloquent as the violence itself. It is, in its way, another crime against humanity, no less damning than the unspeakable acts visited upon these non-Muslim victims.

Only Israel seems capable of concentrating the mind. Everything else fades into indifference, as though a peculiar and compulsive form of Jew-hatred has narrowed the moral vision of our age to a single, obsessive point. The rest of the world’s suffering, especially when perpetrated in the name of radical Islam, barely registers. 

That selective blindness does not merely dishonor the dead and the abducted; it reveals the moral bankruptcy of those who claim to speak for conscience.

Nigeria:Twenty murdered in suspected Boko Haram attack

(photo: REUTERS/Marvellous Durowaiye)

On March 31st this year, there was a suspected Boko Haram attack in Nigeria in which 20 internally displaced persons (IDPs) were murdered in Mafa, Borno State.

According to reports, the victims were IDPs who had gone into a nearby bush to simply search for firewood. The attackers slit the throats of some victims or shot them at close range. At least 30 others (including children) were abducted in the incident. The victims were described as people who had already been repeatedly displaced by Boko Haram violence.

Boko Haram and its splinter groups (like ISWAP) have carried out multiple attacks in 2025–2026 with varying death tolls, including some involving around 20 deaths (e.g., earlier incidents targeting soldiers or civilians), but the March 31st, Mafa event aligns most closely with the details you mentioned. Violence in the region remains persistent, with civilians often caught in the crossfire or directly targeted.

The armed assaults form part of a surge by Boko Haram and its Islamic State splinter group ISWAP, who have stepped up their deadly attacks on military bases and villages in Nigeria’s insurgency-hit northeast.

The gunmen raided the villages of Pubagu and Mayo-Ladde in the states of Borno and neighbouring Adamawa respectively on Tuesday afternoon, after overwhelming local vigilantes, said Mada Saidu, chairman of Askira-Uba district, where one of the attacks occurred.

At least 11 people were killed in Pubagu and nine in Mayo-Ladde. Homes and shops were torched and food supplies looted, Saidu said.

Islamist terrorists have waged a 17-year insurgency seeking to carve out an Islamic state in northeast Nigeria, killing thousands and displacing at least two million people, aid groups say, despite major military campaigns to root them out.

One is left, as so often in these grim chronicles of African jihadism, with the weary sense that the same story repeats itself with only the names of the villages and the precise number of the dead changing. The Nigerian state, for all its declarations of resolve, appears chronically unable to impose order on a region long surrendered to the logic of holy war.

Terror attack in northwest Nigerian village kills at least 32

In the borderlands of northwest Nigeria, where the writ of the state has long since frayed, another atrocity unfolded with grim predictability. Armed men on motorbikes descended upon three villages in the Borgu Local Government Area of Niger State, close to the frontier with Benin Republic. They killed at least thirty-two people, set houses and shops ablaze, and abducted an unknown number more. These raids form part of a relentless surge in violence across northern Nigeria, where so-called "bandits" have inflicted mass murder, ransom kidnappings, and the wholesale displacement of communities.

Were these terrorists jihadis? You make the call, because I don't know.

The Nigerian government finds itself under ever-increasing pressure to restore some semblance of order, yet the pattern persists: swift, savage incursions followed by retreat into the bush, leaving the survivors to count their dead and dread the next assault.

Wasiu Abiodun, the Niger State police spokesperson, confirmed the initial strike on Tunga-Makeri. "Suspected bandits invaded Tunga-Makeri village … six persons lost their lives, some houses were also set ablaze, and a yet-to-be ascertained number of persons were abducted," Abiodun said. He noted that the assailants then proceeded to Konkoso village, though further details remained sketchy.

Jeremiah Timothy, a resident of Konkoso who fled to a neighboring locality, described how the attack on his village commenced in the early hours with sporadic gunfire. "At least 26 people were killed so far in the village after they set the police station ablaze," said Timothy, adding that the attackers entered Konkoso around 6 a.m. (0500 GMT), shooting indiscriminately. Residents reported hearing military jets overhead, a distant reminder of state power that arrived too late to prevent the slaughter.

An anonymous witness spoke of more than two hundred motorbikes sweeping through the area, their riders targeting the villages with ruthless efficiency.

Auwal Ibrahim, from Tunga-Makeri, gave a harrowing account of the early-morning assault on his community at approximately 0200 GMT. "The bandits stormed our town around 3:00 a.m. (local time), riding so many motorcycles while shooting sporadically, beheading six people and killing others. They set shops on fire and forced the whole village to flee," Ibrahim said.

He added that many villagers now fear to return, knowing the gunmen linger nearby.

What confronts Nigeria here is not mere criminality, but a profound failure of governance in vast swathes of the north: territories where armed groups operate with near-impunity, where the security forces arrive after the fact, and where ordinary people are left to pay the price in blood and terror. The "bandits" may wear no uniform of ideology, yet their methods and their dominance reveal a state that has ceded control of its own hinterland. Until that changes, these villages will remain vulnerable, and the cycle of massacre will continue.

Islamist slaughter of Christians is spiking in the Democratic Republic of Congo, and it’s as brutal as it gets

The latest bloodbath went down on September 8 in Ntoyo village, North Kivu, where monsters believed to be from the Allied Democratic Forces (ADF) butchered at least 64 people. These thugs proudly wave the ISIS flag like it's their local franchise of terror.

According to locals spilling the grim details to Catholic charity Aid to the Church in Need (ACN), the attackers didn't just kill; they torched homes and smashed skulls with guns and hammers. Many of the victims were gunned down or bludgeoned while mourning at a wake. That's the kind of heartless evil that we saw in Israel on October 7, 2023 against Jews.

This isn't a one-off. The DRC's Christians are being hunted. 

Mid-August saw 52 Christians massacred in North Kivu by the same ADF scumcrumpets. In July, 43 were slaughtered at a prayer vigil. And at the start of the year, 70 Christians were found beheaded in a Protestant church. Beheaded! That's how jihadis roll.

Bishop Melchisédech Sikuli Paluko of Butembo-Ben, speaking to ACN, tried to offer some comfort amid the carnage: "To all the families affected by this umpteenth and horrible carnage … and to all the faithful of the parish, we express our spiritual closeness. May God, the Master of Life, strengthen us through the intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary, consoler of the afflicted, and lead us beyond the desert of present-day suffering to lasting peace." 

Noble words, but they underscore a sickening truth: this is happening over and over to Christians and Jews.

It's not just the DRC. Nigeria's Bishop Wilfred Anagbe told the British House of Lords earlier this year that massacres of Christians during festivals like Christmas have become "customary" in parts of his country. Customary. As in, just another Tuesday for these jihadist scum. Nigeria, despite its massive Christian population, ranks seventh on Open Doors' list of worst places for anti-Christian persecution, thanks to relentless Islamist violence.

The DRC is no picnic either as it's climbed to No. 35 on the same list, up six spots from last year, because the body count keeps rising. This isn't merely a statistic, it's a religious war, and it's getting uglier by the day.

DOGE cuts mucho dinero from US African Development Foundation

The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) has been sniffing out some serious government waste, and they're not afraid to take a bite out of it. In their latest announcement on X, DOGE revealed they've slashed $51 million from the U.S. African Development Foundation's budget, and the details are juicier than a pineapple in Benin.

Apparently, our tax dollars were being used to fund some real head-scratchers, like $229,296 to market "100% organic shea butter in Burkina Faso" and $239,738 for "marketing pineapple juice in Benin." 

I mean, I love a good smoothie as much as the next guy, but I'm not sure why American taxpayers need to foot the bill for it. And don't get me started on the $246,217 spent on "mango drying facilities in the Ivory Coast" – sounds like a real tropical boondoggle.

But wait, there's more! There's always more.

DOGE also uncovered $99,566 spent on "increasing yogurt production in Uganda," $84,059 for "a business incubator for spa and wellness entrepreneurs in Nigeria," $50,000 to "train farmers how to grow dragon fruit in Senegal," and $48,406 for "a WhatsApp marketing chatbot in Kenya." 

I don't know about you, but I feel so much better knowing my hard-earned money is going toward dragon fruit and WhatsApp bots.

Led by Elon Musk, DOGE is a temporary White House group created by executive order earlier this year. President Trump gave them 18 months to whip the federal government into shape, and they're clearly not messing around. Just last month, they axed 113 contracts worth a cool $4.7 billion, including a $145,000 USDA consulting gig for "Peru climate change activities." 

Adios, amigos!

But the cuts didn't stop there – DOGE also nixed $10 million for "gender equity in the Mexican workplace," $12.2 million for "worker empowerment in South America," and $6.25 million for "improving respect for workers' rights in agricultural supply chains" in Honduras, Guatemala, and El Salvador. Oh, and they've been busy canceling DEI initiatives, consulting contracts, leases for empty federal buildings, and redundant agencies left and right.

As of Monday, DOGE is claiming they've saved us $140 billion – that's about $870 per taxpayer. Not too shabby for a group that's only been around for a few months. Keep sniffing out that waste, DOGE – we salute you! And keep protesting the DOGE's efforts to eliminate waste and fraud--the GOP appreciates your willingness to lose the trust of the normal American people.

"I pour my heart into these posts, and if they’ve sparked something for you, I’d be thrilled if you’d treat me to a coffee over at Buy Me a Coffee – totally optional, of course!"

GOP lawmaker murdered in likely 'targeted' attack

GOP councilmember Eunice Dwumfour, 30, of Sayreville, New Jersey was shot and killed Wednesday night near her home.

Dwumfour was shot multiple times as she sat in her vehicle just outside the apartment complex where she lived WABC-TV reported.

Police said that the vehicle crashed after she was shot. 

Dwumfour was pronounced dead at the scene.

“Eunice was a dedicated member of our borough council who was truly committed to serve our residents,” Mayor Victoria Kilpatrick said in a statement, according to NJ.com. “The fact she was taken from us by this despicable criminal act makes this incident all the more horrifying.”

“Beyond her dedication to the community, I can share that she was a woman of deep faith and worked hard to integrate her strong Christian beliefs into her daily life as a person and community leader,” she said.

Police said she was the target of an attack, WABC reported, and community organizer Charlie Kratovil agreed that her killing was a “targeted” attack.

— Charlie Kratovil (@Charlie4Change)

Thus far, a motive is unknown and witnesses said the shooter fled toward the nearby Garden State Parkway.

Ms. Dwumfour was elected to the council in 2021. She worked as an IT professional, according to WNBC and served as a Director of Churches for the Champions Royal Assembly, based in Nigeria. She was also a member of Sayreville's Human Relations Commission, according to NJ.com. 

“She was shot while returning back home. She was a woman full of life,” commission member Mahesh Chitnis said, according to the New York Post. “Eunice, rest in peace my friend …”

“I am shocked, scared and heartbroken.”

Sayreville Republican Chair Karen Bailey Bebert said Dwumfour “was the embodiment of Sayreville, living the American Dream, overcoming challenges with grit and a smile,” according to the Daily Mail.

“And always giving of time and love to others. She embodied Sayreville and will be terribly missed by all who were fortunate enough to know her,” she said.

The police are currently looking for the shooter.

Islamic jihadis burn Catholic priest to death, shoot and injure his colleague in Nigeria

Gunmen entered a Church in northwest Nigeria on Sunday and immolated a priest to death and shot his colleague, police report. Next month [February 25], is the presidential election and this raises concern about security as there have been kidnappings for ransom and killings by armed gangs. 

Although the media states that the motive for this latest attack is not immediately clear, [although gunmen have previously targeted priests], the northern part of Nigeria is mostly Muslim and the jihadis among them tend to target people of non Islamic religions.

Wasiu Abiodun, police spokesperson for Niger state, said in a statement that armed men torched the residence of Father Isaac Achi, of Saints Peter and Paul Catholic Church, in Paikoro local government area, after failing to gain entry around 3:00 a.m. He was burned to death as another priest, Fr. Collins, was shot and wounded as he tried to escape.

Fr. Collins is recovering at a local hospital, Adiodun said.

"This is a sad moment. For a priest to be killed in such a manner means that we are not all safe. These terrorists have lost it, and drastic action is needed to end this ongoing carnage," said Niger state governor Sani Bello.

Netanyahu on wall: "A great idea"

"La vengeance est un plat qui se mange froide" (translation. "Revenge is a dish best served cold")  Pierre Choderlos,  Les Liaisons Dangereuses, 1782.

President Obama is gone from power. Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is still here. The two men probably didn't like each other very much, but Bibi was simply following Obama's anti-Zionist lead.

On Saturday, Netanyahu expressed his clear support for our current President Trump's plan to build a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border. Bibi, as his Israeli supporters fondly call him, said the barrier he had built along Israel's southern border "stopped all illegal immigration" and was a "great idea."

So sit on it, Obama.

President Trump signed executive orders on Wednesday to begin construction of a continuous "physical" wall, being one of the few leaders in history to make good on a campaign promise, which was to keep out illegal immigrants from Mexico, particularly "rapists" and drug dealers.

I think he also meant murderers and other felons, but people nowadays have shorter attention spans.

"Beginning today, the United States of America gets back control of its borders. We are going to save lives on both sides of the border," Trump said.

And while Mexico is still refusing to pay for the wall, while Trump said it would, he's still going ahead on the promise.

Mexico's President Enrique Pena Nieto responded quickly Wednesday to Trump's declaration. He told his nation, in a national television address that he regrets and rejects Trump's decision, and he is canceling a meeting he was to have with Mr. Trump on Tuesday.

There are a number of cost projections for the wall that range from $8 million to $20 million. If I know government spending like I think I do, my guess is that a wall will cost around $35 million or more, just because it always almost doubles in price when the government is involved. 

But Trump's administration and leadership is no ordinary government. Who knows what price lurks in the heart of the project?  In any case, Congress is running around trying to come up with the money.

Trump also wants to hire another 5,000 border patrol agents and 10,000 more immigration officers. These increases must first be approved by Congress however.

Taking to Twitter, a la Trump, Benjamin Netanyahu tweeted: "President Trump is right. I built a wall along Israel's southern border. It stopped all illegal immigration. Great success. Great idea."

The difference is, however, Israel paid for their wall, which was finished in 2013 after two years of construction.

But the actual West Bank barrier is not the same wall. That wall was built to end terror attacks and stem the flow of illegal immigrants from Africa coming through Egypt. They were mostly from Sudan, Eritrea, Ivory Coast, Ethiopia and Nigeria. They came seeking asylum and employment.

Israel's walls work. Trump's walls should also work.

Woman suicide bomber detonates with baby strapped to her back

Leftists like Obama say that the Islamic State is neither Islamic nor is it a state. If by Islamic he means a way the religion of Islam is practiced, he's wrong. If he mean by a state that the Islamic State has not established territory they claim as their caliphate, well, he's wrong again.

The same is true about the Taliban, al Qaeda, and basically any extremist practice of Islam.

If religion is having faith that a belief in their version of God will provide them with rewards in the hereafter, you can say that the Islamic State and the rest of the extremist religious terrorist groups is an example of a stronger faith than we see in the West, for the most part.

Extremists are so certain that their brand of Islam is the right brand. So sure they will go to Paradise for jihad, they are ready to die in the spirit of the Qur'an's promises.

Three women suicide bombers carried out an attack in Madagali, Adamawa State, Nigeria. One of the women had a baby strapped to her back. Nine people were killed, including two local vigilantes at a checkpoint where vehicles are screened before being allowed into town.

Imagine strapping your baby to your back, knowing you're both going to die for Allah. You would have to think that you're doing a wonderful thing for your baby. 

What a schizophrenic belief system the extremists have.

But don't tell me it isn't Islam--read the murder book called the Qur'an.

Suicide bomber blows up; the other is lynched

A pre-teen Muslim suicide bomber blew herself up to smithereens too soon but seriously injured one person in Nigeria on Saturday. 

Another female suicide bomber was captured by an angry crowd and strung her up. It is not known where the crowd got the rope to hang her, but hang her they did until she died.

No one claimed responsibility for the attack as they were dead, but neither did any organization. However, there is a high probability that the attack is linked to an Islamic extremist organization since they tend to be willing to die for Allah and the "M" man.

The attack occurred near a noodle vendor around 9:3- p.m. and the attack was similar to the type of assaults used by Boko Haram (which means:"Western education is forbidden"). In December, two girls under the age of 10 blew themselves up and injured 19 people, exemplifying how sick Islamic extremism is.

"Judging from her corpse, the girl was around 10-years-old," witness Grema Usman told AFP regarding the child bomber.

An aid worker believes it was the girl's youth that may have caused her to nervously blow up before she reached the crowd.

The second girl attacker's bomb was safely detonated by security forces.

It doesn't get sadder and sicker than this--it's a global mental illness.

Mexico's immigration situation

Mexico City -- It's encouraging to see Mexico experiencing immigration problems because it serves as a wakeup call to the immigration situation that we face under Obama's policy approach.

Mexico said Saturday that they've been inundated by a surge of 4,749 Haitian, African and Asian migrants entering by their southern border through the Tapachula immigration center in the past few days. They will try to reach the California border and many will likely seek asylum, which Obama will likely grant them because they will likely vote for the Democratic party in the near future.

The National Immigration Institute of Mexico say the migrants entered the country between September 21 and 23. They believe most of them are Haitian, but didn't break them down according to country of origin.

The institute said a total of 7,800 Haitian migrants entered the country through Guatemala between January 1st and September 21st, along with 1,701 from Africa and 3,753 from various parts of Asia.

For some strange reason, none of the migrants have requested to stay in beautiful, sunny Mexico. They cannot be sent back to their home countries so Mexico gives them 20-day temporary visas to allow them time to get to the United States and be out of their hair.

The Africans in question come mainly from the Congo, Guinea, Ghana, Ethiopia, Eritrea, Somalia, Sudan and Nigeria. They likely bring with them low-level skills, illnesses and perhaps a few Islamists who would like to to their terror thing.

Mexico is smarter than Obama and I suspect Trump will have problems getting them to build the wall he promises, but I hope I'm wrong.

Obama: We are at war with words, not Muslims

Muslims fear that recent incidents in which they went on killing sprees against non-Muslims will anger unbelievers and cause us to retaliate against believers in the religion of peace.

President Obama's administration has made it clear that the United States is not at war with Islam but we are at war with words. Rhetoric. If we say the right words, all will be good in the world.

This is why Obama appointed such eloquent wordsmiths like John Kerry and Josh Earnest. When these great speakers verbalize indignation over a suicide bombing, or a simple ISIS beheading, or Iran kidnapping Americans and holding them hostage, Islam listens to what these men have to say. 

Islam hears them and respects their indignation, often apologizing for their abject barbarism.

But is it simply a war of rhetoric, as Josh Earnest said this week?

Recently, a mob of Muslim militants entered a Ndomete village in the Central African Republic (CAR) a went door-to-door killing Christians. The UN confirmed the event and number of casualties. 

The jihadists, believed to belong to the Islamic group Seleka,  killed 26 people, deliberately targeting them because of their religion.

A local Christian leader said, 'If the government is not going to beef up the security, then we are going to defend ourselves. We shall not keep quiet as our brothers are dying."

The Christian leader was not talking about talking to these killers--he was referring to actually killing them if they attempted to kill his brethren.

In Nigeria, Boko Haram jihadists attacked Christians in Kwamjilari village after a Sunday church service, killing 8 Christians who stood outside the house of worship. Boko Haram stationed gunmen on the road leading away from the church so they could shoot those who tried to flee.

One wonders what the Obama administration would say to the attackers. Perhaps something like: "We are outraged over this brutal act of mindless brutality. This is not Islam. Boko Haram does not represent the religion of peace." 

Or something just as inane. 

In Spain, a Cameroon immigrant is now on trial for murdering 6 other immigrants by throwing them overboard while crossing the Mediterranean in his boat. He blamed the rough seas which rocked the boat on the fact that a Catholic pastor was leading the passengers in prayer. He and another Muslim (who later died) beat the pastor with pieces of wood before throwing the victims overboard. 

The killer actually believed that Christian prayer can anger Allah to the point of capsizing his boat. He is so religious that he attributed Allah's power to the rough seas. If that isn't an example of absolute Islamic faith, I don't know what is, but you can imagine Obama's mouthpieces saying how that doesn't represent Islam.

Of course it does. It may not represent all of Islam, but it certainly represents a faction of people who believe they must 'defend' the religion under all circumstances. It represents a faction of those who believe the Medina portion of the Koran that tells them to "kill the unbelievers wherever you find them."

This is not a war on rhetoric. It's a war on people who want to kill us. It's also a war on ideology, but that comes after we get their attention by killing those who would kill us.

It's time to wake up to the hard, cold truth.

Islam: the religion of pieces

I was checking out one of my favorite websites, Jihad Watch, and skimmed through the titles of some of the stories they are covering. The posts about the Islamic State were, as usual, the most barbaric, but there were several others that caught my eye.

Islamic State Beheads 8 Shi'ites, calls them "impure infidels."

You see, if you aren't a Sunni Muslim, and if you are but do not follow Islam the same way the Islamic State dudes do, then you're considered an infidel. The term "infidel" covers every human being on earth who does not practice Islam the same way ISIS practices it.

Islamic State in Nigeria beheads 23 in campaign to scare people from voting.

That seems to work for some people in Nigeria, but not all voters. I have to give those who vote in spite of this threat, a lot of credit and respect.

Islamic State in Illinois planned another Fort Hood.

So here we have two Muslims who once again plan to wreak workplace violence on innocent Americans. Why are we not surprised?

Wives of Islamic State: "When one husband gets martyred, it's like a celebration."

As funny as "Kill the Juice"

One husband? Islam only allows women to have one husband, but one husband can have as many as four wives. It's a man's world, Inshallah.

UK: Father of girl who joined ISIS was at rally boasting of Muslim conquest of USA.

He didn't mean anything by that--maybe like Iran saying "Death to America" every morning, this guy meant it in the nicest possible way.

Philippine President: "Give Muslims self-rule or count body bags."

Yes, be appeasers like Winston Churchill discussed. That is, feed the alligator hoping that it will eat you last. This practice of appeasement is exactly what the Islamists want us to do but in the long run, they're going to do what alligators do.

Finally, this last article made me chuckle, and I don't often do that when discussing Islam and what it has done to the world. UK: New Islam Museum hopes to offset image created by Islamic jihadists.

You can't make this stuff up.

Imam John Kerry Mohammad Warns US Against Islamophobia

It's good to see John Kerry getting into that old-time religion, Islam. Our Vietnam hero is calling for more resources in the fight against "global extremism" and not Islamic terrorism. 

Imam John abu Kerry

In fact, our once upon a time swift boat commander, and head-up-his-nether-regions-Secretary of State turned Imam, warns us that, while we must fight the threat of people whose religion has nothing to do with why they're fighting us (and saying magic words like, "Allahu Akbar" as they chop off our head) we must take care not to be Islamophobic.

This latest revelation comes from the article by Warren Strobel, "Kerry calls for more resources in anti-extremist fight, warns of Islamophobia,"  Reuters, January 23, 2015.

Ebola Eboli and a Navy Corpseman

If there is one thing you can say about president Obama, it's that he is consistently incompetent. It's not just the economy anymore. It isn't Obamacare either. It's the planning of military strategy to combat ISIS and his strategy to deal with Ebola.

Ebola virus

We have a president who calls a Navy corpsman a "corpseman" and calls Ebola, "Eboli." And to expect that he knows anything about either the military or medicine is like expecting a gerbil to know the rules of golf.

In fact, the President of the Private Practice Doctors organization stated the government's lack of urgency to secure our borders and the inbound flights coming here from West Africa and their inability to properly screen people with fevers, has put Americans in danger of contracting the deadly virus. The Ebola protocols have been undermined and incompetence abounds.

Over 3000 people have already been killed by Ebola as the virus has quickly spread across Liberia, Guinea, Sierra Leone and Nigeria.

Dr. Reed Wilson, a renowned cardiologist, is highly critical of the administration's handling the Ebola crisis.

"We are relying on the failed governments of West African nations to do the screening of their citizens and travelers," Wilson said. "We are depending on Third World, untrained individuals to be the bulwark for the U.S.A. to prevent mass death. This should not bring comfort to the ears of American citizens."

The executive director of the Association of Physicians and Surgeons said that entry into the U.S.A. must halt in order to stop the spread of the virus.

So what does the White House do? 

Well, according to White House officials they say they are not considering a travel ban from West African nations that have an Ebola breakout because they have a "sophisticated multi layer screening system."

So how's that multi layer screening system working out for us? A symptomatic man from Liberia flew here from that nation to Texas where he came into contact with about 100 or so individuals. He vomited all over the apartment complex where he was staying and men in tee shirts cleaned up his messes.

I cannot name one thing president Obama has done that showed a true sense of competence or even a true sense of, well, truth. Even with this latest problem, he is handling it like a person who has no idea of what he's doing.

I would sooner trust my neighbor's cat with my tuna sandwich.

It Took 300 Kidnappings to Wake Up the Left

It's really sad that almost 300 young schoolgirls were kidnapped by the Islamic Nigerian terrorist group, Boko Haram, in April. Sadder still is that it took a tragedy of this proportion to wake up the left, including the Hollywood left, to voice anger and shock over it.

The politically correct cannot call this "misappropriation of gender-specific cargo," or something equally as passive, but the PC Police are saying that this act by the terrorist group is "hijacking Islam."

Now the Koran says that a man can have as many as 4 wives (except for Muhammed--he got an Allah dispensation for at least 9 and maybe as many as 12, but he doesn't count as a regular guy) but if the man can't handle the cost of 4 he should marry one or resort to "those whom your right hands possess" (4:3).

"Just a Bunch of Guys Who Decided to Go for a Walk: What difference does it make?"

"If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained, you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle." Sun Tzu, The Art of War. 

Hillary Clinton doesn't know the enemy and she does not seem to really know herself. In a Fox News report today, by Judson Burger and the Fox News team, it was revealed the Hillary "What-Difference-Does-It-Make" Clinton and the State Department refused to label Boko Haram as a terrorist organization.

Of course, since the kidnapping by this group of almost 300 Nigerian schoolgirls, she has called their actions "abominable," and said it was an act of terrorism the merits "the fullest response possible."

Goodluck, John, and Barry: the hunt for the 276 victims in Nigeria

Goodluck Jonathan, Nigeria's President (not to be confused with Badluck Benjamin of Egyptian fame) met with security officials of the school and state over his concerns regarding the 276 young girls who were kidnapped by Boko Haram. 

Boko Haram is an Islamic group whose name means "Western education is bad," and they don't take well to kids actually learning things outside the Koran, Islamic scripture written in the Seventh Century. The word "boko" literally means book and "haram" is the Jewish equivalent of "non-kosher," but you better not tell them that--they have a thing about Jews.

The Koran is supposed to be the perfect book, in spite of all the mistakes in it, but I cannot talk about that topic without risking certain death at the hands of my neighbor. (I know this because his wife wears a niqab, which is a veil that covers her entire face except her eyes. Muslim women do this because it keeps Muslim men from raping them or forcing their husband to give them a charity beating.) He seems like a nice, quiet guy, smokes a lot on the porch, wears jeans, washes his car regularly, but I know I'm screwed if he finds out about the novel I wrote (see below if you're interested).

Anyway, Goodluck Jonathan seems to be doing all he can to find these poor girls. It is unknown if they were killed or taken as slaves or wives--in the latter two cases, they are almost synonymous. Our very own Secretary of State, John Swiftboat Kerry vows to help find those girls.

"The kidnapping of hundreds of children by Boko Haram is an unconscionable crime," Kerry told the Washington Post on Saturday, adding, "We will do everything possible to support the Nigerian government to return these young women to their homes and hold the perpetrators to justice."

The kidnapping on April 14th was preceeded by a huge explosion several hour earlier in Abuja, the capital of Nigeria. The blast killed 75 and it spread fear that the Islamic jihad is alive and well. Ya think?

Kerry wasn't specific about how he thinks we could help Nigeria in the hunt for these orthodox Muslims, aka Boko Haram, but I put as much faith in him as I do for his boss who, as I write this, is busy hunting down those terrorists responsible for the Benghazi attack that killed our ambassador and three other brave men. And who pledged to get to the bottom of the IRS scandal. And who swore to get those guys who killed Border Agent, Brian Terry, in the Fast and Furious scandal.

But in order for Kerry and Obama to get these messes under control, the government may need to assign numbers to them so they don't get them mixed up.

There is nothing funny about this latest kidnapping by Islamic jihadists, but I certainly don't trust our government to do much to stop these trends. When we can all agree here in the West that Islam's goal is to establish a world caliphate, that is, to make the world entirely Muslim, then we might be able to stop the militant spread of Islam. When we call it "workplace violence" and ignore the truth, we are as vulnerable and as stupid as the proverbial ostrich. 

In my latest novel, a New York reporter is taken hostage by terrorists. If POTUS refuses to release 3 Gitmo jihadists, the reporter will die in 24 hours—they will behead him and show it on the Internet. There is only one way out but the clock is ticking . . .

Nigeria: Over 200 Young Women and Girls Kidnapped by Religious Muslim Group

Chibok, Nigeria: over 200 young women and girls were taken from their boarding school by the Islamic group, Boko Haram. Some of the parents are frantically searching for their missing children while security forces are supposedly in "hot pursuit." 

A group religious discussion

Parents wept and begged the kidnappers to "have mercy on our daughters," and pleaded for the government to help in their rescue. Some of the parents headed into the dangerous forest on  motorcycles where the victims are believed to have been taken, ignoring the dangers that lie within. A week has gone by without success thus far.

One parent, Musa Muka, who had her 17 year old child abducted, said: "We plead with the government to help rescue her and her friends; we pray nothing happens to her." Let's hope that her prayers were asked of the Muslim god, and not any other--Boko Haram doesn't cotton well to anyone who is non-Muslim.

It is likely that anywhere from 39 to 50 girls escaped the abduction, but the actual number isn't clear. However, this latest event is a clear embarrassment to the Nigerian military after announcing last week that they had rescued all but 8 of the captives. Unlike the Obama administration that usually doubles-down after being caught in a lie, the Nigerian military actually retracted their statement.

Major General Chris Olukolade, who is the very model of a modern Major General and Defense Ministry spokesman said, "The operation is going on and we will continue to deploy more troops." This should give great comfort to those parents who are missing their girls--the government has been as effective as Bill de Blasio in his effort to fight terrorism in New York City.

Results of religious discussion

The Nigerian Air Force was bombing the forest daily until now, but has to stop the sorties to prevent harming the innocent victims. In all probability, they are being used as sex slaves and peons--after all, it's Islamic tradition to enslave your enemies, you can read it in the Koran.

In a video by Boko Haram's leader, Abubakar Shekau, he repeated his opposition to the "corrupting" Western influences and said, "Everyone that calls himself a Muslim must stop obeying the constitution, must abandon democracy, must stay away from Western education. Western education is sinful." He didn't weigh in on whether abducting girls and young women, using them as sex slaves, and stoning them to death for not agreeing to follow his beliefs, is sinful as well. But hey, that's just how those "religion of peace" fellas roll. Even the words "Boko Haram" means "Western education is sinful." It does not mean, "Killing non-believers is a bad thing." This may account for the historic sparsity of Nobel prizes in the sciences by followers of this noble religion.

A New York reporter, is captured by Islamist terrorists who demand the release of three Gitmo prisoners in exchange for him. If the president refuses their demands, they plan to behead the reporter and videotape it for the Internet. But the United States doesn’t give in to terrorist’s demands and he has 24 hours before he is to be executed. 

The clock is ticking . . .
