More than 2,000 people are feared dead after Boko Haram destroyed “10 to 20” communities in Nigeria’s rural northeast, according to a senator from the region. “These towns are just gone, burned down,” said Ahmed Zanna. “The whole area is covered in bodies.” The radical Islamic group razed the town of Baga along with several others over the past five days. The 2,000 are unofficially unaccounted for.

I saw it as rolling text at bottom of screen on Fox. I thought 2,000 must be a misprint but I guess not.

I was surprised but the source has a link to NBCNews and they do have it on their home page...

People need to accept the reality that the U.S. government is now controlled by a foreign entity. Every decision made by the government is in support of, and in furtherance of the spread of Islam and Shariah.

No one in authority is going to do anything to defend America or Americans. The people will not be allowed to defend themselves from the approaching onslaught. Anyone that attempts to fight back will be labeled a terrorist and will have the full weight of the government and mass media against them.

We are on our own.

That’s what it’s going to take. Good piece by Daniel Henniger in the WSJ today - he said you can do all the emoting and hashtags you want, but in the end, the only thing that matters is exterminating the enemy.

“Black on black” crime.

Not newsworthy because it doesn’t further anyone’s agenda.

(even I’m not sure if I’m just being sarcastic.)

I don’t understand: Is Nigeria instituting conscription? Are they mobilizing their entire military? I cannot imagine anything like Boko Haram’s repeated kidnappings, murders and massacres happening week after week here without a full scale war ensuing on the part of the U.S.A. Nigeria, however, just doesn’t seem to be doing much about Boko Haram. I know there have been some accusations that the Nigerian powers that be actually secretly support BH, but still.

Incredible. What the heck is the West and/or the Catholic Church waiting for?

Don't expect much from the Catholic Church with Pope Francis in charge.
He is a Muslim appeaser, doesn't want to tie Islam to terrorism, and thinks talk can solve the problem.
Pope Francis is the Catholic's Obama. - Tom

Nigeria gets no sympathy from the “civilized” world because they refuse to decriminalize sodomy.

So, will Al Sharpton fly over there to organize marches, with signs saying “Black Lives Matter”?
