Officials order mosques closed, beggars off streets in north Cameroon after suicide bombs

Authorities have ordered the closure of mosques and Islamic schools following a series of suicide bombing attacks in northern Cameroon that have left at least 60 people dead, the region's governor said Sunday.

Child beggars are also being ordered off the streets because all the suicide bombers so far have been children, including the 13-year-old female who detonated explosives in an attack Saturday evening.

While there have been no claims of responsibility, authorities have blamed the Islamic extremist group Boko Haram, which has pledged its allegiance to the Islamic State group and abducted hundreds of girls and young women.

The group's leader has vowed to attack Cameroon because the Central African nation has aided neighboring Nigeria in its fight to defeat the extremists.

In the latest attack inside Cameroon, at least 20 people were killed and another 85 wounded Saturday evening in the northern town of Maroua. The suicide bombing came just days after another attack there earlier in the week.

My only reaction is that I hope this works for them.

These terrorists tell the kids they either blow themselves up, or their parents and siblings will die. What choice do they have?

Islam, it’s not your father’s religion. It’s a death cult.

These people are homicidal maniacs, every one of them.

Let’s bring millions more into America, what a great idea.

Sanity.

Because Reality won't let them be stupid and live.

Sadly Liberals Thrive under the very Safety and Protection that is afforded by the Military they so hate.

Your Air-Headed Liberal Co-Worker wouldn't last a minute against some Crazed Boko Harem Terrorist or Raider.

Honestly, how would some brain drained liberal you know have handled the Ferguson or Baltimore Riots if they were literally right there in it being hit with Bricks and Trash Cans?

They're being reactive.

We should be proactive and CLOSE ALL U.S. MOSQUES NOW BEFORE the bombs start going off, and they will.

Asking forgiveness for staining the brick with their blood or the yellow of their backs.

Better pay attention to this. It’s not just grown men doing the suicide bombing. Children and women are part of the jihad as well.

The USA can look at this and take rational precautions, knowing it’s just a matter of time here. But my guess is that once again political correctness will once again be our downfall.

Many folks don’t realize that many “suicide” bombers are doing so not because they want to be martyrs who receive 72 virgins but are instead doing so ONLY under duress to “save” the life of a loved one being held.

You’ll laugh at where I learned how powerful that can be.

I cut my cable service and now use HULU, Netflix , and Amazon Prime for my television content. I buy movies from iTunes.

At any rate, on HULU I watch what I term “Korean Novelas”. They can be 12 to 50 episodes long. Most are around 16-20 episodes long.

Some of their plots involve blackmail at the expense of relatives. It really brings the point home.

It’s one thing to talk about it academically, but when you see it played out, it can be very powerful. Of course they don’t go the terrorist route, but they do force people to do all sorts of things.

I agree with your take on it. I believe you’re right.

After an Islamic terror attack, Cameroon orders the mosques closed. Over here we invite them to Eid dinner at the White House..
