Nigeria: Another Forgotten–Or Ignored–Jihad

There is an unfortunate tendency in the West to downplay the threat from Jihad. This is especially true when the acts of Jihad occur in the Third World and especially when the victims are non-white and poor.

This week has provided us with prime examples of this in Nigeria, where Boko Haram has continued its Jihadist terror with horrific attacks which have been little more than an afterthought in US and other Western media.

72 killed, 133 wounded, 129 young schoolgirls kidnapped, all since Monday...had this happened in Europe or the US, it would have stopped all activity. But it's Africa, so it's hardly worth mentioning...except we have seen from Afghanistan and Sudan what happens when you let Jihadists metastasize in the Third World...

Muslim/Christian conflicts only generate notice and concern when the Muslims start losing (eg, Central African Republic, Bosnia)
