20 September 2014 Boko Haram Kills 'Dozens' In Attack On Nigerian Market
Boko Haram militants have attacked a rural market in the north-east Nigerian town of Mainok, killing dozens of people, officials and witnesses say.
Gunmen shot at traders and customers as they raided the busy market for food supplies on Friday.
The number of casualties is not yet clear, with some reports suggesting as many as 30 people were killed.
Boko Haram has taken control of a series of towns and villages in north-eastern Nigeria in recent weeks.
Authorities have struggled to defeat the militant Islamist group, which has been waging an insurgency in Nigeria since 2009.
The BBC's Will Ross, in Lagos, warns that parts of north-eastern Nigeria are slipping further and further out of the government's control, creating a growing humanitarian crisis.
'Pandemonium' Many residents fled Mainok after the attack, making it difficult to obtain accurate information.
Reuters news agency quotes two security sources as saying that at least 36 people, including 13 gunmen, were killed in the gun battle, which continued into Saturday.

Mohammad was the anti-Christ.
The non-Muslim world had better close ranks and kill or convert all of these bastards.

Not sure your premise is correct, but your conclusion seems increasingly inescapable.

[Where's Obama On Boko Haram?]Probably sending it arms and money indirectly. Later it will send supplies and training on the theory that Boko Haram will keep ISIS out of Nigeria.

The Spanish solved their Moslem infestation by killing, converting, or expelling all their Moslems (and, unfortunately Jews), a process complete in 1492. It works wherever it is tried. Many remained secret Moslems but were rendered ineffectual. Their descendants are Christians, at least culturally. There are isolated communities in Spain and in America who retain some identifiably Moslem ̣(others some Jewish) customs but they are not Moslem (or Jewish).
