•How gunmen slaughter residents of Maiduguri
•25 women killed this week – Pastor
The troubled city of Maiduguri, Borno State capital is witnessing more bestiality with increasing house-to-house slaughtering of residents by suspected Boko Haram Islamists. As at press time, no fewer that 15 people including children and teenagers have been slaughtered this week in what appeared to be a change of tactics by the Boko Haram.
On Wednesday, three children between the ages of seven and twelve years were slaughtered at Silimanti Ward Polo Area of the metropolis in the presence of their mother by gunmen when they discovered that the head of the family, a security agent, was not around. Sunday Sun gathered that the gunmen sneaked into the house on Wednesday at about 2am and demanded to see the head of the house. “When they couldn’t find the man, a Michika from Adamawa State, they grabbed the three children and slaughtered them,” residents of the area said. Sadly, the mother of the three children was said to have died on Saturday.
The shock, anguish and trauma of the killing of her only three promising children before her might have been responsible. The killing on Wednesday came barely three days after a retired pastor, Rev Elizar Kabira of COCIN Church, Polo Area was killed in his house in a similar manner. According to one Pastor Musa Ali Dikwa, a Maiduguri-based clergyman, “the man was killed as he was waiting for his son to come and pick him to church for the Sunday service. Many Christians are being killed in same manner in the city.
In fact, they are doing everything to send all Christians out of Borno and that’s why I have been crying to the Federal Government to help us save the situation.” Pastor Musa also alleged that no fewer than 25 Christian ladies have been killed this week in the house-to-house slaughtering spree by Boko Haram at Mari and Gwange wards. The victims according to him were killed for dressing in manners considered “offensive to Islam”.
The latest spate of serial killings also claimed the lives of five men who were butchered at Shokwari ward of the metropolis. Some of the areas where killings have been intensified in the last one week include Polo, Silimanti, London Chiki, Shokwari and CBN quarters area. Meanwhile, JTF spokesman, Lieutenant Colonel Sagir Musa in his reaction denied a rise in the spate of killings. He said no lady was killed by Boko Haram this week. “The purported killing of girls by Boko Haram is not true and the rumour is intended to cause disaffection and crisis. There is no truth in the story at all”, he said in his response to Sunday Sun inquiry.
Meanwhile, the Joint Task Force has declared some suspected Boko Haram wanted. A statement issued by Lt Col Sagir Musa said: “The underlisted Boko Haram members are wanted and we hereby place a reward on each one of them. They are wanted in connection with terrorist activities particularly in the North East Zone of Nigeria that led to the killings, bombings and assassination of some civilians, religious leaders, traditional rulers, businessmen, politicians, civil servants and security personnel amongst others.
They are also wanted for arson and destruction of properties worth millions of naira. “Therefore, anyone with information that could lead to the arrest of any of the listed terrorists or more will have the rewards”, the statement said. The wanted suspects are Abubakar Shekau (N5m reward), Habibu Yusuf (a.k.a Asalafi)(N25 million), Khalid Albarnawai(N25 million), Momodu Bama(N25 million), Mohammed Zangina(N25 million), Abu Saad(N10 million), Abba Kaka(N10million), Abdulmalik Bama(N10 million),
Umar Fulata(N10 million), Alhaji Mustapha (Massa) Ibrahim(N10 million), Abubakar Suleiman-Habu (a.k.a Khalid)(N10 Million), Hassan Jazair(N10 Million), Jalingo(N10 million), Alhaji Musa Modu(N10 million), Bashir Aketa(N10 million), Abba Goroma(N10 million), Ibrahim Bashir(N10 million), Abubakar Zakariya(N10 million) and Tukur Ahmed Mohammed(N10 million).
GOd pls save my pple, save all d christians in d north and plead d cause of this nation.
I don’t pity anybody in d north,i don’t know why christians are still living in d midst of the devilish muslims with their devilish allah dat allows his followers to kill at will & still pray afterwards.Islam is a devilish religion we all know dat for sure.For instance look at all muslim countries,lybia,afhganistan,palestine,syria ,egypt etc “NO PEACE”bombing,killing every day.
Gbenga ur understanding of d north is still shallow. Dont u know dat there are many notherners dat are christians? Where do u want them to go?
u r right
Don’t say so, what of the Christians that are indegine of the states in the north, where do you want them to run to?
So after going to saudi Arabia this next thing is to become bh. Hmmmmmmmm
And u think that all these men re still in the country,kill d one in detention before those at large
Wen will this com to an end? Oh God help ur children
When i first heard from one of our prominent pastors during his birthday that bokoharam would soon meet their waterloo,i was so happy thinking that before that week runs out bokoharam would be things of the past.Now that bokoharam is still operational,does that mean there will be no permanent solution to this madness?I remember when i was at Auchi in Edo state,a malam slapped a girl who was just returning from church in my presence on sunday afternoon.He accused the girl of wearing short skirt into the house.He promised to break the girl’s two legs next time she wears the skirt.If Quran was written in English i would have love to read it and know what it really teach.I doubt Islam,God is not in support of that religion.
Y Goodluck name no de dia
Dis pple definately not muslims nd GOD wil soon expose them..we d muslims will never forgive them for hidin under our religion.
point, only the truth will set you free
brother, u can say this again
Is it not better to cede that area to chad or Niger so that we can ve peace
Boko haram and powers behind it must perish! In CHRIST JESUS name. Amen!
Curse b the day Islam was brought into the world…God what type of religion is this?? Oh Islam see how much pains,sorrow,anguish,suffering, death woes etc u hav brought to humanity.Sheding blood like water…Kai God come to d aid of ur children.
jtf are stupid how do you want the person that sees these people or has any informations to contact you…no phone number,no email address,just nothing and you are telling us amount of money and what about that?
Please there is one question I want to ask, ……….the question is ……..is there no intelligent CIDs among our Security agents that can dictate this people perpetuating these evil in the Northern Part of the country. If there are non, Imagine, these group of people have been terrorizing people. It is a shameful thing to be hearing this. what about using security camera and other secret security gadgets. In fact the five security bodies we have in Nigeria should ……… be queried, because many of them are partnering with these terrorists
You can hide in d cover of deceit to deceive populance but almightyAllah is watching
By right, boko haram will not seize killing as long as the JTF are all moslems. For instance, if we talk of security in this country, who are they? Police, Army, etc are all mostly hausas moslems who give boko haram relevant information.
sunday sun,mind u Abubakar shekau is 50 million anybody knows hs were abt,nt 5 million?
Killing ur fellow human in the name of religion? Tufiakwa! to that stupid religion.
Nigerians will continue to be slaughtered until they ignore the govt and arm themselves.
Jonathan, Jonathan, why are you afraid of dealing with these gangs. You sent JTF to tackle oil theft, do the same to tackle boko haram. I still repeat, from the very day you won election, killing has taken place all over the country without seize. q
@ Eaves,regarding your question concerning d holy Qur’an,there are translated holy Qur’an in English but whenever u bought it,handle it with care.that is,don’t touch it during your menstral period,don’t take it to toilet or bath-room,always keep it in a clean place & don’t put anything on top,any deviant from d above rules will attract curse & punishment 4rm God & emberassment 4rm muslem ummah(nation).for your information,Qur’an chapter 23 & 24 shed-light on a true muslems while 24 explaining issue regarding,how a true muslem suppose to behave & above all,d dressing pattern.i leave nigerians with d adage which say “when u are in Rome behave like a romans”.thanks.
Ibn Ibrahim,i thank u for ur answer about qu’an explanation, but in Nigeria dont we ve freedom of worship. First of all call evil evil. All these things u explained on qu’an book, we christians do all and above on our holy bible.
ibrahim watever u call urself are you indirectly telling those in north they should convert to islam otherwise they will be killed, how really foolish this muslims are, i really pity you guys, to take what you cannot creat
SOME STUPID NIGERIA WAS SAYING NIGERIA IS ONE WHY ALL THIS KILLING WHY THEY SHOULD NOT TELL THE BOKO HARM TO STOP THAT WE ARE ONE,FOOLS PLEASE I CAN WAIT TO SEE 2015 WILL BE THE END OF SO CALL NIGERIA SO THAT SOME PEOPE THAT DEPEND ON OIL MONEY WILL GO AND LOOK FOR WORK CRIMINAL
Where is amenesty international???
WHERE ARE THE POWERS OF THE FG? DURING THE TIME OF BAKASSI, FG CAME DOWN TO EAST AND DISARMED THEM. BECAUSE IT IS BOKOHARAM AND ISLAMIC THEY ARE NOW GIVING REWARDS FOR OUR DEATH SENTENCE. FG, U KNOW BOKOHARAM FISH THEM URSELF AND NOT INVOLVE US!!!
Thank God peace has return to the country at least Lt. Col. Sagir Musa can attest to that by saying that the Pastor’s testimonies are not true. But untill him or any of his family members become a victim that is when he will have reasons to believe the Pastor. May God help us.
Islam broght blessing to mankind rather than curse as some commentors like umazi wanted us to believe.one of d greatest problems wit most nigerians is that,we refuse to tell ourselves d truth.why did God abandon isrealite during prophet musa(pbuh)? is there any difference among most of d present xtains regarding d sins of isrealite in those days?d book of jerimaiah,wisdom & oda ch of d holy Bible shed-light on d position of God regarding a born-again xtains.how many cult were open in nigeria in d name of churches?i am not in support of bh violence campaign againt innocent nigerians,however,both true xtains & muslems shld make effort to sanitize their followers in order to purge out evil-doers who are masqurading under d umberala of religion. Finally,d tenets of islam is to fight injustice in d society 4 d benefit of mankind.
ibn ibrahim, my first thought after reading your coment is that you are a boko haram supporter if not a member at least pasively. From your first coment to the second, the one thing I can tell you is that there is going to be a day in the presence of JEHOVAH fortunately you still have a chance to make it to heaven, by accepting JESUS today, by accepting that your rightousness and your acts of goodness and keeping a book clean can never take you to heaven but the sacrifice that JESUS made for you, that is what will give you the life
fighting justice indeed, by killing fellow innocent human being?
For me to know they are serious of what they are saying about all those boko haram members they declared wanted, they should paste all their pictures in air ports, sea ports etc, and again be showing their pictures on network news all the time as advertisement. We are not fool in this country. And again let all their members that are in detention to be killed so that we can be save and know that when we give information about others that they will be killed like wise. If they are not killed their member may be president of Nigeria tomorrow and give them one army post, dont u know we are finish. Reason with me millions giver.
@ IBN IBRAHIM, i think you are getting everything wrong here. As far as i know, faith in God is a desirable way of life, religion is a way man reaches or commune with his creator. However, this must not be seen to dictate how others live their lives. You don’t practice your faith for others, you do it for God. Nigeria is a free country, a secular society with different religious orientation. Let’s watch what we say here.
@ Chinedu, u have said my mind. Also. Available Phone numbers for contact, email address for anyone who could give a useful information that could lead to their arrest.
I am asking amnesty international wat they have to say about these atrocities. Certainly when JTF acts that is when they will shout fowl.
@Which way Nigeria, Police, Army,and all our security agencies are trying their best irrespective of their religeous inclinations. Do you think if Boko-haram would enjoy any little support from our security apparatus, i think by now they would have penetrated every where. Politicians, our leaders at all spairs of life are the problems. Fellow NIGERIANS be steadfast, shun SENTIMENT, and pray hard for our country’s deliverance.
It wz as a result of father Abraham,s indiscretion dat we hv ishmael & by xtention islam & ultimately boko haram…may God giv me & every believer d grace 2patiently wait 4His promises concernin us IJN Amen

The FG is not sincere in there fight against boko halam , I support the person that said that there pictures must be published. So that all Nigeria will see them . Now tell me if somebody have information about them who is he going to call . Maybe go to police station and become a victim, Because we don’ even know who is there agent . If the JTF is serous about those devil that call there self boko halam they will start by showing the pictures of those devil in all Nigeria network stations . My prayer is that the judgement of all mighty God will come upon them sooner than latter . And they will pay the supreme price of the innocents blood that they have wasted in this country. May God help us all that believe in Him and follow his teachings .
Islam is a secret cult.

AFTER READING THIS FROM A COMMENT IN VANGUARD NEWSPAPER, I UNDERSTOOD WHY THE NORTH IS VIOLENT.
The Quran contains at least 109 verses that call Muslims to war with
nonbelievers for the sake of Islamic rule. Some are quite graphic, with commands to chop off heads and
fingers and kill infidels wherever they may be hiding. Muslims who do
not join the fight are
called ‘hypocrites’ and warned that Allah will send them
to Hell if they do not join the slaughter.
Unlike nearly all of the
Old
Testament verses of violence, the verses of violence in the Quran
are mostly open-ended, meaning that they are not restrained by the historical context
of the
surrounding text. They are part of the eternal,
unchanging word of Allah, and just as relevant or subjective as anything else in
the Quran.
Most of today’s Muslims exercise a personal choice to interpret their holy
book’s many calls to violence according to what their own moral preconceptions
find justificable. Apologists cater to their preferences with tenuous
arguments that gloss over historical fact and generally do not stand up to
scrutiny. Still, it is important to note that the problem is not
bad people, but bad ideology.
Unfortunately, there are very few verses of tolerance and peace to
abrogate or even balance out the many that call for nonbelievers to be fought
and subdued until they either accept humiliation, convert to Islam, or are
killed. Muhammad’s own martial legacy – and that of his companions -
along with the remarkable stress on
violence found in the Quran have produced a trail of blood and tears across world history.
The Quran:
Quran
(2:191-193)
- “And slay them wherever ye find them, and drive them out of the places
whence they drove you out, for persecution [of Muslims] is
worse than slaughter [of non-believers]… but if they desist, then lo!
Allah is forgiving and merciful. And fight them until
persecution is no more, and religion is for Allah.” The
historical context
of this passage is not defensive warfare, since Muhammad and his Muslims
had just relocated to Medina and were not under attack by their Meccan
adversaries. In fact, the verses urge offensive warfare, in that
Muslims are to drive Meccans out of their own city (which they
later did). The use of the word “persecution” by some Muslim translators is
thus disingenuous (the actual Muslim words for persecution – “idtihad” – and
oppression – a variation of “z-l-m” – do not appear in the verse). The actual Arabic comes from “fitna” which can
mean disbelief, or the disorder that results from unbelief or temptation.
Taken as a whole, the context makes clear that violence is being authorized
until “religion is for Allah” – ie. unbelievers desist in their
unbelief.
Quran (2:244)
- “Then fight in the cause of Allah, and know that Allah Heareth and knoweth
all things.”
Quran (2:216)
- “Fighting is prescribed for you, and ye dislike it. But it is
possible that ye dislike a thing which is good for you, and that ye love a thing
which is bad for you. But Allah knoweth, and ye know not.” Not
only does this verse establish that violence can be virtuous, but it also
contradicts the myth that fighting is intended only in self-defense, since the
audience was obviously not under attack at the time. From the Hadith, we
know that this verse was narrated at a time that Muhammad was actually trying to motivate his people into
raiding merchant caravans for loot.
Quran (3:56)
- “As to those who reject faith, I will punish them with terrible agony in
this world and in the Hereafter, nor will they have anyone to help.”
Quran (3:151)
- “Soon shall We cast terror into the hearts of the Unbelievers, for that
they joined companions with Allah, for which He had sent no authority”.
This speaks directly of polytheists, yet it also includes Christians, since they believe in the Trinity
(ie. what Muhammad incorrectly believed to be ‘joining companions to Allah’).
Quran (4:74)
- “Let those fight in the way of Allah who sell the life of this world for
the other. Whoso fighteth in the way of Allah, be he slain or be he victorious,
on him We shall bestow a vast reward.” The martyrs of Islam are
unlike the early Christians, led meekly to the slaughter. These Muslims
are killed in battle, as they attempt to inflict death and destruction for the
cause of Allah. Here is the theological basis for today’s suicide bombers.
Quran (4:76)
- “Those who believe fight in the cause of Allah…”
Quran (4:89)
- “They but wish that ye should reject Faith, as they do, and thus be on the
same footing (as they): But take not friends from their ranks until they flee in
the way of Allah (From what is forbidden). But if they turn renegades, seize
them and slay them wherever ye find them; and (in any case) take no friends or
helpers from their ranks.”
Quran (4:95)
- “Not equal are those believers who sit (at home) and receive no hurt, and
those who strive and fight in the cause of Allah with their goods and their
persons. Allah hath granted a grade higher to those who strive and fight with
their goods and persons than to those who sit (at home). Unto all (in Faith)
Hath Allah promised good: But those who strive and fight Hath He distinguished
above those who sit (at home) by a special reward,-” This passage
criticizes “peaceful” Muslims who do not join in the violence, letting
them know that they are less worthy in Allah’s eyes. It also
demolishes the modern myth that “Jihad” doesn’t mean holy war in the
Quran, but
rather a spiritual struggle. Not only is the Arabic word used in this
passage, but it is clearly not referring to anything spiritual, since the
physically disabled are given exemption. (The Hadith reveals the context
of the passage to be in response to a blind man’s protest that he is unable to
engage in Jihad and this is reflected in other translations of the verse).
Quran (4:104)
- “And be not weak hearted in pursuit of the enemy; if you suffer pain, then
surely they (too) suffer pain as you suffer pain…” Is pursuing
an injured and retreating enemy really an act of self-defense?
Quran (5:33)
- “The punishment of those who wage war against Allah and His messenger and
strive to make mischief in the land is only this, that they should be murdered
or crucified or their hands and their feet should be cut off on opposite sides
or they should be imprisoned; this shall be as a disgrace for them in this
world, and in the hereafter they shall have a grievous chastisement”
Quran (8:12)
- “I will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve. Therefore
strike off their heads and strike off every fingertip of them” No
reasonable person would interpret this to mean a spiritual struggle.
Quran (8:15)
- “O ye who believe! When ye meet those who disbelieve in battle, turn not
your backs to them. (16)Whoso on that day turneth his back to them, unless
maneuvering for battle or intent to join a company, he truly hath incurred wrath
from Allah, and his habitation will be hell, a hapless journey’s end.”
Quran (8:39)
- “And fight with them until there is no more fitna (disorder,
unbelief) and religion should
be only for Allah” Some translations interpret “fitna” as
“persecution”, but the traditional understanding of this word is not supported
by the historical context (See notes for 2:293, also). The Meccans were simply refusing
Muhammad access to their city during Haj. Other Muslims were allowed
to travel there – just not as an armed group, since Muhammad had declared war on
Mecca prior to his eviction. The Meccans were also acting in defense of
their religion, since it was Muhammad’s intention to destroy their idols and
establish Islam by force (which he later did). Hence the critical part of
this verse is to fight until “religion is only for Allah”,
meaning that the true justification of violence was the unbelief of the
opposition.
According to the Sira (Ibn Ishaq/Hisham 324) Muhammad further explains that “Allah must have no rivals.”
Quran (8:57)
- “If thou comest on them in the war, deal with them so as to strike fear in
those who are behind them, that haply they may remember.”
Quran (8:59-60)
- “And let not those who disbelieve suppose that they can outstrip (Allah’s
Purpose). Lo! they cannot escape. Make ready for them all thou canst of
(armed) force and of horses tethered, that thereby ye may dismay the enemy of
Allah and your enemy.”
Quran (8:65)
- “O Prophet, exhort the believers to fight…”
Quran (9:5)
- “So when the sacred months have passed away, then slay the idolaters
wherever you find them, and take them captive and besiege them and lie in wait
for them in every ambush, then if they repent and keep up prayer and pay the
poor-rate, leave their way free to them.” According to this
verse, the best way of staying safe from Muslim violence is to convert to Islam
(prayer (salat) and the poor tax (zakat) are among the religion’s
Five Pillars). This popular claim that the Quran only inspires violence
within the context of self-defense is seriously challenged by this passage as
well, since the Muslims to whom it was written were obviously not under attack.
Had they been, then there would have been no waiting period (earlier verses make
it a duty for Muslims to fight in self-defense, even during the sacred months).
Quran (9:14)
- “Fight them, Allah will punish them by your hands and bring them to
disgrace…”
Quran (9:20)
- “Those who believe, and have left their homes and striven with their wealth
and their lives in Allah’s way are of much greater worth in Allah’s sight. These
are they who are triumphant.” The “striving” spoken of here is Jihad
(Arabic).
Quran (9:29)
- “Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, nor hold that
forbidden which hath been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger, nor acknowledge
the religion of Truth, (even if they are) of the People of the Book, until they
pay the Jizya with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued.”
“People of the Book” refers to Christians and Jews. This was one of the
final “revelations” from Allah and it set in motion the tenacious military
expansion, in which Muhammad’s companions managed to conquer two-thirds of the
Christian world in the next 100 years. Islam is intended to dominate
all other people and faiths.
Quran (9:30)
- “And the Jews say: Ezra is the son of Allah; and the Christians say: The
Messiah is the son of Allah; these are the words of their mouths; they imitate
the saying of those who disbelieved before; may Allah destroy them; how they are
turned away!”
Quran (9:38-39)
- “O ye who believe! what is the matter with you, that, when ye are asked to
go forth in the cause of Allah, ye cling heavily to the earth? Do ye prefer the
life of this world to the Hereafter? But little is the comfort of this life, as
compared with the Hereafter. Unless ye go forth, He will punish you with a
grievous penalty, and put others in your place.” This is a warning to
those who refuse to fight, that they will be punished with Hell.
Quran (9:41)
- “Go forth, light-armed and heavy-armed, and strive with your wealth and
your lives in the way of Allah! That is best for you if ye but knew.”
See also the verse that follows (9:42)
- “If there had been immediate gain (in sight), and the journey easy, they would
(all) without doubt have followed thee, but the distance was long, (and weighed)
on them” This contradicts the myth that Muslims are to fight only in
self-defense, since the wording implies that battle will be waged a long
distance from home (in another country and on Christian soil, in this case,
according to the historians).
Quran (9:73)
- “O Prophet! strive hard against the unbelievers and the hypocrites and be
unyielding to them; and their abode is hell, and evil is the destination.”
Dehumanizing those who reject Islam, by reminding Muslims that they are merely
firewood for Hell, makes it easier to justify slaughter. It also explains
why today’s devout Muslims have little regard for those outside the faith.
Quran (9:88)
- “But the Messenger, and those who believe with him, strive and fight with
their wealth and their persons: for them are (all) good things: and it is they
who will prosper.”
Quran (9:111)
- “Allah hath purchased of the believers their persons and their goods; for
theirs (in return) is the garden (of Paradise): they fight in His cause, and
slay and are slain: a promise binding on Him in truth, through the Law, the
Gospel, and the Quran: and who is more faithful to his covenant than Allah?
then rejoice in the bargain which ye have concluded: that is the achievement
supreme.”
Quran (9:123)
- “O you who believe! fight those of the unbelievers who are near to you and
let them find in you hardness.”
Quran (17:16)
- “And when We wish to destroy a town, We send Our commandment to the people
of it who lead easy lives, but they transgress therein; thus the word proves
true against it, so We destroy it with utter destruction.” Note that
the crime is moral transgression, and the punishment is “utter destruction.”
(Before ordering the 9/11 attacks, Osama bin Laden first issued Americans an
invitation to Islam).
Quran
(18:65-81)
- This parable lays the theological groundwork for honor killings, in which a
family member is murdered because they brought shame to the family, either
through apostasy or perceived moral indiscretion. The story (which is not
found in any Jewish or Christian source) tells of Moses encountering a man with
“special knowledge” who does things which don’t seem to make sense on the
surface, but are then justified according to later explanation. One such
action is to murder a youth for no apparent reason (74). However, the wise
man later explains that it was feared that the boy would “grieve” his parents by
“disobedience and ingratitude.” He was killed so that Allah could provide
them a ‘better’ son. (Note: This is one reason why honor killing
is sanctioned by Sharia. Reliance of the Traveler (Umdat al-Saliq) says
that punishment for murder is not applicable when a parent or grandparent kills
their offspring (o.1.1-2).)
Quran (21:44)
- “We gave the good things of this life to these men and their fathers until
the period grew long for them; See they not that We gradually reduce the land
(in their control) from its outlying borders? Is it then they who will win?”
Quran (25:52)
- “Therefore listen not to the Unbelievers, but strive against them with the
utmost strenuousness…” “Strive against” is
Jihad – obviously not in the personal context. It’s also significant to
point out that this is a Meccan verse.
Quran
(33:60-62)
- “If the hypocrites, and those in whose hearts is a disease, and the
alarmists in the city do not cease, We verily shall urge thee on against them,
then they will be your neighbors in it but a little while. Accursed, they
will be seized wherever found and slain with a (fierce) slaughter.”
This passage sanctions the slaughter (rendered “merciless” and “horrible murder”
in other translations) against three groups: Hypocrites (Muslims who refuse to
“fight in the way of Allah” (3:167)
and hence don’t act as Muslims should), those with “diseased hearts” (which include Jews and
Christians
5:51-52), and “alarmists” or “agitators who include those who merely speak
out against Islam, according to Muhammad’s biographers. It is worth noting
that the victims are to be sought out by Muslims, which is what today’s
terrorists do. If this passage is meant merely to apply to the city of
Medina, then it is unclear why it is included in Allah’s eternal word to Muslim
generations.
Quran (47:3-4)
- “Those who reject Allah follow vanities, while those who believe
follow the truth from their lord. Thus does Allah set forth form men their
lessons by similitude. Therefore when you meet in battle those who disbelieve, then smite the necks
until when you have overcome them, then make (them) prisoners,”
Those who reject Allah are to be subdued in battle. The verse goes on to
say the only reason Allah doesn’t do the dirty work himself is in order to to
test the faithfulness of Muslims. Those who kill pass the test. “But if
it had been Allah’s Will, He could certainly have exacted retribution from them
(Himself); but (He lets you fight) in order to test you, some with others. But
those who are slain in the Way of Allah,- He will never let their deeds be
lost.”
Quran (47:35)
- “Be not weary and faint-hearted, crying for peace, when ye should be
uppermost (Shakir: “have the upper hand”) for Allah is with you,”
Quran (48:17)
- “There is no blame for the blind, nor is there blame for the lame, nor is
there blame for the sick (that they go not forth to war). And whoso obeyeth
Allah and His messenger, He will make him enter Gardens underneath which rivers
flow; and whoso turneth back, him will He punish with a painful doom.”
Contemporary apologists sometimes claim that Jihad means ‘spiritual struggle.’
Is so, then why are the blind, lame and sick exempted? This verse also
says that those who do not fight will suffer torment in hell.
Quran (48:29)
- “Muhammad is the messenger of Allah. And those with him are hard (ruthless)
against the disbelievers and merciful among themselves” Islam is
not about treating everyone equally. There are two very
distinct standards that are applied based on religious status. Also the
word used for ‘hard’ or ‘ruthless’ in this verse shares the same root as the
word translated as ‘painful’ or severe’ in verse 16.
Quran (61:4)
- “Surely Allah loves those who fight in His way”
Religion of Peace, indeed! This is followed by (61:9):
“He it is who has sent His Messenger (Mohammed) with guidance and the
religion of truth (Islam) to make it victorious over all religions even
though the infidels may resist.”
Quran (61:10-12)
- “O ye who believe! Shall I lead you to a bargain that will save you from a
grievous Penalty?- That ye believe in Allah and His Messenger, and that ye
strive (your utmost) in the Cause of Allah, with your property and your persons:
That will be best for you, if ye but knew! He will forgive you your sins, and
admit you to Gardens beneath which Rivers flow, and to beautiful mansions in
Gardens of Eternity.” This verse was given in battle. It uses
the Arabic word, Jihad.
Quran (66:9)
- “O Prophet! Strive against the disbelievers and the hypocrites, and be
stern with them. Hell will be their home, a hapless journey’s end.”
The root word of “Jihad” is used again here. The context is clearly holy
war, and the scope of violence is broadened to include “hypocrites” – those who
call themselves Muslims but do not act as such.
From the Hadith:
Bukhari (52:177) – Allah’s Apostle said, “The Hour will not be
established until you fight with the Jews, and the stone behind which a Jew will
be hiding will say. “O Muslim! There is a Jew hiding behind me, so kill him.”
Bukhari (52:256) – The Prophet… was asked whether it was permissible to
attack the pagan warriors at night with the probability of exposing their women
and children to danger. The Prophet replied, “They (i.e. women and children) are
from them (i.e. pagans).” In this command, Muhammad establishes that it is
permissible to kill non-combatants in the process of killing a perceived enemy.
This provides justification for the many Islamic terror bombings.
Bukhari (52:220) – Allah’s Apostle said… ‘I have been made victorious
with terror’
Abu Dawud (14:2526) – The Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) said: Three things
are the roots of faith: to refrain from (killing) a person who utters, “There is
no god but Allah” and not to declare him unbeliever whatever sin he commits, and
not to excommunicate him from Islam for his any action; and jihad will be
performed continuously since the day Allah sent me as a prophet until the day
the last member of my community will fight with the Dajjal (Antichrist)
Abu Dawud (14:2527) – The Prophet said: Striving in the path of Allah
(jihad) is incumbent on you along with every ruler,
whether he is pious or impious
Muslim (1:33) – the Messenger of Allah said: I have been commanded to
fight against people till they testify that there is no god but Allah, that
Muhammad is the messenger of Allah
Bukhari (8:387) – Allah’s Apostle said, “I have been ordered to fight the
people till they say: ‘None has the right to be worshipped but Allah’.
And if they say so, pray like our prayers, face our Qibla and slaughter as we
slaughter, then their blood and property will be sacred to us and we will not
interfere with them except legally.”
Muslim (1:30) -
“The Messenger of Allah said: I have been commanded to fight against people so
long as they do not declare that there is no god but Allah.”
Bukhari (11:626) – [Muhammad said:] “I decided to order a man to
lead the prayer and then take a flame to burn all those, who had not left their
houses for the prayer, burning them alive inside their homes.”
Muslim (1:149) – “Abu Dharr reported: I said: Messenger of Allah, which
of the deeds is the best? He (the Holy Prophet) replied: Belief in Allah and
Jihad in His cause…”
Muslim (20:4645) – “…He (the Messenger of Allah) did that and said:
There is another act which elevates the position of a man in Paradise to a grade
one hundred (higher), and the elevation between one grade and the other is equal
to the height of the heaven from the earth. He (Abu Sa’id) said: What is that
act? He replied: Jihad in the way of Allah! Jihad in the way of Allah!”
Muslim (20:4696) – “the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) said:
‘One who died but did not fight in the way of Allah nor did he express any
desire (or determination) for Jihid died the death of a hypocrite.’”
Muslim (19:4321-4323) – Three separate hadith in which Muhammad shrugs over
the news that innocent children were killed in a raid by his men against
unbelievers. His response: “They are of them (meaning the enemy).”
Muslim (19:4294) – “When the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him)
appointed anyone as leader of an army or detachment he would especially exhort
him… He would say: Fight in the name of Allah and in the way of Allah. Fight
against those who disbelieve in Allah. Make a holy war… When you meet
your enemies who are polytheists, invite them to three courses of action. If
they respond to any one of these, you also accept it and withhold yourself from
doing them any harm. Invite them to (accept) Islam; if they respond to you,
accept it from them and desist from fighting against them… If they refuse to
accept Islam, demand from them the Jizya. If they agree to pay, accept it from
them and hold off your hands. If they refuse to pay the tax, seek Allah’s help
and fight them.
Tabari 7:97
The morning after the murder of Ashraf, the Prophet declared, “Kill any Jew
who falls under your power.” Ashraf was a poet, killed by Muhammad’s
men because he insulted Islam. Here, Muhammad widens the scope of his
orders to kill. An innocent Jewish businessman was then slain by his
Muslim partner, merely for being non-Muslim.
Tabari 9:69
“Killing Unbelievers is a small matter to us” The words of
Muhammad, prophet of Islam.
Tabari 17:187
“‘By God, our religion (din) from which we have departed is better and more
correct than that which these people follow. Their religion does not stop them
from shedding blood, terrifying the roads, and seizing properties.’ And they
returned to their former religion.” The words of a group of Christians
who had converted to Islam, but realized their error after being shocked by the
violence and looting committed in the name of Allah. The price of their
decision to return to a religion of peace was that the men were beheaded and the
woman and children enslaved by the caliph Ali.
Ibn Ishaq/Hisham 327:- “Allah said, ‘A prophet must slaughter before collecting captives. A
slaughtered enemy is driven from the land. Muhammad, you craved the desires of
this world, its goods and the ransom captives would bring. But Allah desires
killing them to manifest the religion.’”
Ibn Ishaq/Hisham 990: -
Lest anyone think that cutting off someone’s head while screaming ‘Allah Akbar!’
is a modern creation, here is an account of that very practice under Muhammad, who
seems to approve.
Ibn Ishaq/Hisham 992: -”Fight everyone in the way of Allah and kill those who disbelieve in Allah.”

Hon Chibuzor, bravo for this great study u made on Islam. U deserve an ward. What can we expect from pple who have been brain-washed which such doctrines? Thatz why the worshippers act like monsters and are devouring lives they cant create. Yet they keep shouting, “ISLAM IS PEACE”. Irony of the century! All nations where islam is practiced is full of violence. Still they cant sit down and ask themselves questions.
@Ibn Ibrahim, I’ve been following ur writings and can see why u are writing what u wrote. But I’m telling u that our God is merciful and is waiting 4u and ur brothers with open arms. Repent and go to Him, in the Name of Jesus the Saviour, now that u still have time; else u will perish in the lake of hell fire. Jesus loves u.
If what mr Chibuzo said here is the way it is in the muslim book, the the devil himself must have entered the mind and body and brain of mohamed and used him to destroy mankind, because it can only be the devil who can inspire this kind of teaching and that book shall not be refered as holy. Have’nt we heard of JESUS CHRIST who is the prince of peace how he went about teaching ppl to be peaceful, nowhere did he teach anybody to be violent or fight or to kill anybody. I will encourage all muslims who can read to pick a bible see the teaching of JESUS and compare it to that of mohamed and ask themselves some questions, on this too I will remind those of us who claim to know JESUS to remember what is writen in hos. 4:6 “my people suffer for lack of knowledge” ask yourself if you are born a muslim and you have not heard of the good news about JESUS would you have acted differently from what these ones today? We should be careful on how we condemn them. I am thinking that what they need now is our prayers to find and know the truth that will set them free from the teaching of the devil and bring them to GOD who is still interested in them despite everything
Ibn Ibrahim & Usman re boko haram. I want u to realise dat Muslim or Islam as they call it is not religion but a bloody cult.
@Hon. Chibuzo, you are a good researcher. In short, all muslims know this but afraid to convert or come out to avoid been killed. Many who are victims became that from child birth and when grown up become afraid of the implication in coming out. But i want to assure you all (victims) that Jesus is merciful and ready to forgive and will give you protection against any attack that would come due to your conversion.
@Gbenga, there are indigenous Christians in the North and so you should not expect them to abandon their place of Birth.
@Ibn Ibrahim, stop pretending because if actually you have read qu’ran very well, then you must know the truth. Please do yourself good now you still have the opportunity, there is no repentance after death. May God Almighty the father of our Saviour Jesus Christ be with you all in Jesus Name, Amen.
Amnesty International, no comment, right? What do u call this?

Holy Bible tells us the story of two leaders. King Saul & King David. when Saul did what was wrong in the sight of God, He sent Prophet Samuel to him that his kingdom would be taken away from him as a result of the sin he committed. Rather than King Saul ask for forgiveness, he was concerned about the palace. This he was pursuing until he tore the garment of the prophet and the prophet made a proclamation. when King David sinned, the same prophet went to him and said David was guilty. David cried for pardon and was sober. he begged God not to take away His spirit from him but renew the right spirit within him to enable him do what is right. He was forgiven and his kingdom was established. God will soon proclaim a judgement over Jonathan since all actions are pointing to the fact that he is more interested in political office than Nigeria that God created for His glory
