DAKAR, Senegal — A girl perhaps no more than 10 years old detonated powerful explosives concealed under her veil at a crowded northern Nigeria market on Saturday, killing as many as 20 people and wounding many more.
The blast inflicted devastating damage on shoppers at the Monday Market in Maiduguri, the shopping hub in a city that is at the heart of the Boko Haram insurgency. The explosion, witnessed by dozens of people, represented a new tactic in the Islamists’ campaign with their decision to use perhaps their youngest-ever suicide bomber.
The terrorist group has increasingly employed women as suicide bombers, even as it has stepped up its abductions of girls across northeast Nigeria, including the kidnapping of more than 200 in the town of Chibok last April. Late last year, two women hit the Monday Market in suicide attacks, killing dozens, and in one week last summer four women carried out bombings in northern Nigeria’s biggest city, Kano.

Because tea partiers are more dangerous. They promote freedom from commies.
I agree with every word you said.
Say it isn’t so.
Not me. Islam - ALL Islam - is EVIL and needs to be eradicated. Kill all their leaders and convert the rest to Christianity.

First of all, politicians are perfectly happy with this little war as it is. Secondly, there is no way to know who is and who isn't a radical Islamist (see Tsarnaev brothers who sailed through immigration interviews.) Thirdly, the very process of killing radical Islamists will radicalize a new batch of Islamists, and you have to kill them too... until you run out of Islamists, of course. That is about 1.5 billion people. In reality, though, Islamists will go into hiding way before that - and then you will have a guerilla war on your hands. And fourthly, Islamists have more soldiers than the opposition - so in case of an all-out war it remains to be seen who inherits the ashes of Earth.
Islam is extremely resilient and self-renewing, and there are several reasons to that. The core reason is that it is targeting the least intellectually challenged group of humans. (They are kept that way intentionally.) The burden of Islam is hard on believers - they have to pray five times per day using a compass; they have to fast for a month during daytime (but not at night - imagine health impact of that practice.) They have to pay zakat to the Mullahs. They are denied proper companionship of women, since Quran declares them to be barely sentient - which makes unmarried men just as insane as unmarried women, since that's not a normal human behavior. They are denied certain foods and alcohol, which makes it a forbidden fruit. They are required to wear certain clothes and have to act according to edicts of Mullahs. They cannot read many books, they cannot see many paintings; Muslim art is limited to patterns and weaves. They are harshly punished for any violation. In essence, they are living in a religious dictatorship of their Quran. This conditions them to become unthinking robots in hands of their Mullahs and Imams. More than a billion humans are thus infected. Short of genocide of proportions that Earth hasn't seen yet, the only solution is a new Moses and another 40 years (or is it 80 years now, with modern medicine?) in the desert, until the infected people die out. This cannot be done without a convenient planet that is a good number of light years away. As we don't have such a planet handy, the only future that anyone can see is war with Islam - or a peaceful surrender to it, which is far more likely. The politicians, being professional triangulators, will easily repaint themselves, accept religious titles, and sell us all down the river. This is already happening in UK.
Not necessarily. There are Muslims that “get it”. Give them the time to clean up things.

There is no way the 10 year old detonated herself. Ill bet my last dollar it was done remotely..
Yes. I thought that years ago when Islamists locked school girls in a burning building in order to guard against immodesty should the girls escape without covering their hair and faces in veils.
Because Hillary wants us to understand them and reach out to them. That’s why. Some of us just don’t get it, I guess.
There are no “good guys” in Nigeria.
The President is a Christian crook who sends 10 million bucks in cash at a time to his account overseas.
He got caught by South Africa doing this in October, said the money was to buy arms.
Elections are upcoming and Nigeria is the next domino to fall in Hussein Barakas scheme to spread the mooselimb death cult throughout the world.
Nigerian government WILL fall soon.
Sounds like an overtime opportunity.
Interesting, informative article. Thanks for the link; thanks for the post.
She’s old enough (by their standards) to get married, so they think that means she’s old enough to be used in killing innocent people.
Analysis BUMP! Thanks, Greysard.
Thank You for taking time to view and read ...
One of the most pitiful things I have read.
I am so sickened by this story, I don't have words. Yes, it had to have been done remotely. The level of depravity required for the act of strapping those explosives on a little girl, and then pushing the button to detonate her, escapes me completely. The Devil himself could not stomach such an act, I would almost bet it (but one does not wager with or about the Devil).
I pray every day for an end to this evil thing called Islam. The Earth cannot abide such evil for long. Please God.
How many Mohammedans approve of this; would you, please, raise your hands?
