DAMATURU, Nigeria (Reuters) - A female suicide bomber blew herself up at a crowded bus station in the northeast Nigerian city of Damaturu on Sunday, killing 10 people and wounding 30, police said, in a region that is frequently attacked by Islamist militants.

Witness Adamu Muhammad said he heard a loud blast and the people at the Damaturu's central motor park "descended into panic."

No one claimed responsibility for the attack, which bore the hallmarks of Islamist insurgent group Boko Haram, whose use of female suicide bombers has been an emerging trend over the past year.

A police spokesman for Yobe state, of which Damaturu is the capital, put the death toll at 10, with 30 wounded, some seriously.

Let me guess. SHE never in her life, ONCE, read the Koran, she never ONCE went to a mosque. She was a listener to Rush Limbaugh, and was a Christian Rights advocate. She....wanted to kill other Nigerians... She never prayed to Allah...

Are there many Jews in Nigeria? I know there are Christians. Cardinal Arinze (he may be stationed in Rome or even retired now)?

IMHO, whatever bits can be identified as the bomber’s should be swept up and fed to pigs.

Oh! The horror!

Such a burial is not properly “Islamic”!

You say “NOT properly “Islamic!

I say I rest my case...

Nigeria

In addition to the established Jewish communities in Nigeria described above, other communities are forming Messianic congregations. Unlike other places, where Messianic Judaism leads Jews away from their faith by believing in Jesus, in Africa, Messianic Judaism is often the first step in the path towards normative Judaism, as Messianic communities gradually abandon their belief in Jesus.

Islam is Devil Vomit. It is a demon that eats the souls of men. The hapless fool that blew up the bus is burning appropriately in the belly of Allah - Hell. Islam is pure EVIL that dresses up in nice clothes to deceive people until it has the advantage to torture, rape, dismember and destroy them. It must be totally wiped out. Don’t throw Korans into a pile of Pig squeeze; Don’t insult the pig. Just wipe this evil off the face of the earth, and start in your home town. If you have Muslims, go out to meet them. Give them a chance to find the G-d of Israel. And warn them of the wrath of the Almighty that shall fall on Islam at the coming of Moshiach. If they find that they cannot leave the grip of the Islamic demon, they would do well to commit suicide, only they should do it alone. At least they wouldn’t ‘be driven to slaughter more innocent people.

No mention of how they determined it was a girl who carried it. Perhaps the station was on closed circuit monitoring. If she was one of those kidnapped it is possible she was carrying without knowing what was in the bag. That would make all this all the more evil.

What the hell are we going to do about these people?

Some one just this AM on a later thread said,about Europe, deport all Muslims and those that won’t leave, shoot them.

But you can’t deport the Muslims from Africa, and you can’t deport them from the Middle East.

So, what are we going to do, how is the problem going to be solved?

We should have nuked Mecca on 9/12/01

Boko Haram is well known to kidnap Christian women, strap bombs on them and send them on suicide missions against their will.

It is very likely this girl might have been one of those.

Boko Haram kidnaps non-Muslims, especially girls and use them as unwilling “suicide” bombs.

I suspect she was due to be honor-killed for something-or-other, and was given a choice between a quick death (by explosion) or a slow death (by stoning).

Same thought. Using the kidnapped girls. Hell unknowing or even brainwashed by now, who can say? I think it’s more likely than not. Why send one of their own believers when then can send a child who means nothing to those savages.
