42 Boko Haram members killed in Nigeria attack

LAGOS, Nov. 1 (Xinhua) -- At least 42 Boko Haram insurgents have been killed in a clash with military forces in a failed attack in northeast Nigeria's Borno State, a security source said on Saturday.

The insurgents on motorcycles and one Hilux vehicle invaded Sabon Gari, near Biu, about 189 kilometers from Maiduguri, on Friday morning but were repelled by miliary troops who have been on ground before the insurgents arrived, the source told Xinhua.

"Our men were mobilized to Sabon-Gari to repel the attack with support from the youth vigilante in the area and we dealt with them well," a military officer in Maiduguri who did not want his name in print said.

Audu Uba, a youth vigilante in Biu also confirmed the incident, adding that the military troops in the area pursue the flee insurgents up to a nearby village where they were intercepted and killed.

Sabon Gari has witnessed two attacks in the past. In mid May, Boko Haram attacked the remote community nearly a month after the first attack, killing at least 12 people. The attack forced over a thousand residents to flee the area.

Would you react the same way if I said Kill all the Nazis in 1941? After all, they were out to kill everyone who was not a Nazi. The modern Mohammedans are the ideological heirs of Mohammed and of Hitler. We were intelligent enough in the 1940s to realize we had to exterminate the Nazis—and we are still hunting down Nazis to this day.

Good news. Congratulations to the heroic youth fighters. I don’t know where they get the “vigilantes” from.

What do you call 42 Islamists killed in an attack?

A nice start.

Uh, nice try, but try again with your analogy.

I do not “hate” but I will excise it if found because if I do not, it will kill me. The same goes for islamists.

What don’t you comprehend?

When informed that members of Boko Haram had been killed, Vice President Joe Biden replied: “That’s a shame...I always liked their recording of A Whiter Shade of Pale.”

No, I am not falling into a murderous ideology. I have studied Mohammad and have concluded we have two choices: we either kill them or they kill us.

Well, if it ever comes to that, then hopefully it will be under the legal auspices of waging "legitimate" warfare under the banner of a state or states, as opposed to individuals taking murderous initiative on their own.

We have enough of that nonsense already.

Would you react the same way if I said Kill all the Nazis in 1941? After all, they were out to kill everyone who was not a Nazi.

The blanket way in which you made the statement ("Kill all followers of Mohammed") would suggest arbitrary execution of women, for instance (and even children). Women at least, certainly.

After all, they're followers of Mohammed, right?

Such statements are simply too broad. Using reason, compassion, and logic to decline indulging in such indiscriminate killing is exactly what distinguishes "our side" from the unthinking animals who we will someday necessarily be forced to destroy.

And, ironically, many muslims will stand with us to assist in that pogrom.

Because if they are not with us, they are against us.

This may ultimately result in there being as many Mulsims around in the future, as there are Nazis nowadays.

But, just as there are still some Nazis (and their ilk) there will always be religious totalitarians to deal with, because in a Free society, we can't prosecute people for crimes until they actually commit them, or at least until we have evidence of a conspiracy to do so.

Thus, I ultimately have to disagree with the "Kill all followers of Mohammed" sentiment, as I believe this war can be won without our side having to act as starkly and indiscriminately as the evil animals do.

But I certainly understand what you're getting at.

We're all familiar with the phenomenon of a religion being selfishly interpreted by its adherents in order to justify immoral acts. No religion is immune to such abuse.

But Islam is inherently more dangerous than any other modern religion because of the fact that it openly advocates violence and oppression to facilitate its spread. It's right there, printed directly on the pages of its holy book, the Koran.

This, of course, includes the "routine" act or murdering those who refuse to convert to Islam.

While most other religions must be twisted and manipulated in order to endorse such practices, Islam's teachings can be effortlessly used to justify such immoral acts.

Any ideology which includes such an indiscriminate view with respect to killing one's brother is intrinsically more of a threat, because its followers, once they are confirmed in their faith, do not have to do any rationalization of their acts. They can simply read the verses from their holy book and take murderous action, whether it be against "infidels", women, children, or anybody else.

Constant vigilance and prejudicial attitudes are needed to combat inherently destructive ideologies such as Islam, Marxism/Communism/Socialism and their ilk.

Yep, they prolly have a big ol' secret club somewhere .. they hang out and support Western civilization with blogs and ululations about the evils of their goathumping brethren.
