Nigeria’s 9/11: Boko Haram Massacres 2000 in Attack on Baga, City Burnt to the Ground

A comment on a Spengler article.

We have all been conned. You see, the big news is not what has been happening in France the past couple days. No, the news of consequence occurred in Nigeria on the same day as the Charlie shootings. It will be ignored because it does not fit the narrative. 

On Wednesday, a Muslim army attacked a group of small towns and villages. Two thousand (2,000) people are reported dead, with hundreds more dragged off into slavery. Why is this being ignored by MSM?

You see, in the case of Charlie, talking heads will be busy for weeks debating whether the cartoonists’ provocative actions lead to righteous indignation among Muslims, which erupted furiously. When done, obfuscation will be the order of the day. As for the kosher market killings, well, if Jews were not wantonly killing Palestinians and occupying Palestinian land it would not have happened. Again, relativity will prevail – six of one is a half-dozen of another. There will be no really bad persons and Islam will remain “the religion of peace.”

But, in Nigeria, the helpless victims of Islam had done nothing to provoke violence other than simply being non-Muslim. These villagers were not in the business of printing cartoons unflattering to the prophet and they were not staunch defenders of the hated Zionists. Nope, they just were not Muslim and that was enough to bring down the wrath of god. Muslims behaved as Muslims do when no one is watching. 

Oh, the Nigerians are not white or Western, which means they are uninteresting. Their fate has no relevance to the West. What happens on the “dark continent” stays on the dark continent. As an aside, Boko Haram (Western education is forbidden) is officially named, Jama'atu Ahlis Sunna Lidda'Awati Wal-Jihad (People Committed to the Prophet's Teachings for Propagation and Jihad). As I said, there is nothing to see here.

There will be no great debates about “fundamental”, “radical”, or “faux” Islam when it comes to the dead in Nigeria and their killers. Dead in their thousands, they will make hardly a blip on the radar screen during any news cycle. Herds of news people will not trample the grass of Nigeria looking for great scoops and endlessly debating cause and effect and defending the benign nature of Islam. Because of this, you see, the actual murderous nature of Islam will remain hidden from view. That is the story. Again, consider: Jama'atu Ahlis Sunna Lidda'Awati Wal-Jihad (People Committed to the Prophet's Teachings for Propagation and Jihad), aka Boko Haram.
