This Tuesday afternoon, Boko Haram gunmen killed at least 69 people and razed a village to the ground in northern Nigeria’s Borno state. The men attacked the village of Faduma Koloram, in the Gubio district of Borno state, starting about noon. They arrived in vehicles and on motorcycles, shooting with AK-47s, razing the village and stealing 1,200 cattle and camels.
A resident, a Civilian Joint Task Force (CJTF) member and a soldier each confirmed the same account. They stated that, “The men attacked because they suspected residents of sharing information on Boko Haram‘s movements with security authorities. It’s an unfortunate day for us to witness this.” According to the member of CJTF, the residents were armed, and had repelled previous attacks but this one caught them off guard. He said the following, “They took us unaware and killed our people.”
Boko Haram and its offshoot, Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP), have killed thousands and displaced millions in northeastern Nigeria. In recent months there has been an increase in attacks on civilians blamed on the group. The decade-long conflict has killed 36,000 people and displaced around two million from their homes in the northeast. The violence has spread to neighboring Niger, Chad and Cameroon, prompting a regional military coalition to fight the insurgents.

Why does the American media NOT reckon the fundamental TRUTHS and CAUSES of the BOKO strife ?
TRUTH – Islam and Paulinity are fundamentally irreconciliable and normatively opposed – with the Old Testament and NT , probably doubting the Prophet Hoof of the Prophet of Islam
Islam DOES NOT believe in the Trinity or the Man-God
Muslims do not believe in the concept of Holy Trinity (Quran 5:73).
“They do blaspheme who say: God is one of three in a Trinity: for there is no god except One God. If they desist not from their word (of blasphemy), verily a grievous penalty will befall the blasphemers among them.” (Koran 5:73)
Say not “Trinity” : desist: it will be better for you: for God is one God: Glory be to Him: (far exalted is He) above having a son. To Him belong all things in the heavens and on earth. And enough is God as a Disposer of affairs.” (Koran 4:171)
God is not Jesus and vice versa (Quran 5:72
“O People of the Book! Commit no excesses in your religion: Nor say of God aught but the truth. Christ Jesus the son of Mary was (no more than) an apostle of God, and His Word, which He bestowed on Mary, and a spirit proceeding from Him: so believe in God and His apostles.
Islamists USE these verses to JUSTIFY attacks ion Christians – WHICH MAY BE DRIVEN BY more material desires – BUT THE ISLAMISTS JUSTIFY THEIR ATTACKS based on the above.
