The Religion Of Peace Slaughters More Innocent Civilians

PJ Media reported yesterday on a Boko Haram massacre in the town of Baga in Borno State, Nigeria.

The BBC is quoted in the article:

Nigeria’s militant Islamists have carried out a second attack on the key north-eastern town of Baga, an official has told the BBC.

Boko Haram fighters burnt down almost the entire town on Wednesday, after over-running a military base on Saturday, Musa Alhaji Bukar said.

Bodies lay strewn on Baga’s streets, amid fears that some 2,000 people had been killed in the raids, he added.

Boko Haram launched a military campaign in 2009 to create an Islamic state.

It has taken control of many towns and villages in north-eastern Nigeria in the last year.

The conflict has displaced at least 1.5 million people, while more than 2,000 were killed last year.

Boko Haram would like to turn Nigeria into a Muslim state under Sharia Law. Obviously, they are not interested in accomplishing this through peaceful means.

All Muslims are not violent terrorists, but there are groups of violent terrorists who justify their actions by claiming to be following the Koran. Unfortunately, there are numerous verses in the Koran that call for the killing of infidels and creating and expanding a caliphate. Until peaceful Muslims begin to police their religion, we will continue to see violence done in the name of Islam.
