The jihadist group Boko Haram has pulled off perhaps the deadliest attack in its ongoing five-year long insurgency in northern Nigeria.

Boko Haram, extremists opposed to western-style education and secular governance in Nigeria, carried out a multi-day attack in the northeast of Nigeria, focusing on the town of Baga. According to Musa Alhaji Bukar, a senior government official who spoke to the BBC, Baga, which once had a population of about 10,000 people, is now "virtually non-existent."

The multi-day rampage focused on Baga and the surrounding towns and villages. The militants razed an estimated 16 towns around Baga, according to the BBC.

“These towns are just gone, burned down,” Borno State Senator Ahmed Zanna told NBC News. “The whole area is covered in bodies.”

The rampage has led to the deaths of an estimated 2,000 Nigerian civilians along with sending approximately 10,000 people fleeing for their lives into neighboring Chad, according to the Associated Press.

Boko Haram's rampage throughout the region is a direct blow to the prestige of the Nigerian military.

You and I..and all those "very smart" people won't be alive in 500 years...let alone 150 years.

And MILLIONS, and MILLIONS will have NO idea about Boko Haram....

You can believe they will...so be it!! Ha!!

I can't make you change your mind....Don't care to either.

Just going to say...you've no idea that your thinking is correct...But you seem to think you are correct.

I think you can't be serious!! LOL!!!

Excellent idea.

Take out Mecca, and that big black rock, with nothing more complicated than an air burst about 500 feet above the target area.

Hell, it would not even have to be nuclear. A “Mother of all Bombs” (Massive Ordnance Air Blast), detonated like that, would flatten just about everything within a radius of a couple miles, including all the pilgrims making their hajj.

It would sharply curtail religious tourism.

You are a shallow minded person who is not smart enough to begin to correct anyone else. Just stop it.

As long as the do-gooders in the USA don't start clamoring for intervention in Africa to hunt and kill Muslims, I don't care what happens there or how many die.

If it becomes necessary for US National forces to kill African Muslims, we should simply use nuclear weapons and kill from afar.

1994 Rwanda was not 500 years ago nor is Rhodesia any part of Rwanda.........Sheesh!

We should have done that about 2 days after 9-11.

And Medina.

I have predicted this will happen for some time.
The resulting malaise in the Middle East would likely lead to the restoration of temple sacrifice in Jerusalem.

However, if Mecca is turned into atomic particles and the winds spread it to the four corners of the globe...

Well, Allah wills it that Mecca is now everywhere - Allah Snackbar and all that jazz.

“”I’m becoming ever more convinced that the only real long term solution is to reduce Mecca to a radioactive crater.
The Hadiths say there can be no Islam without Mecca.””

Then let’s get to it.. Didn’t the U.S. send some troops over to Nigeria last year? Have not heard a word about it since. I guess we can’t be expected to take any action since we didn’t do anything about the slaughter in Rwanda - for which Clinton apologized for if I recall. And didn’t Samantha Power apologize also?

Five hundred years from now, kids will still be told that if they aren’t ‘good’ that Boko Haram will come and get them.

And five hundred years from now, they will be right.

When will this civilization realize that these are
NOT extremists, they are Islamists plain and simple,
with but one goal the insitituion of Sharia world wide.

You know....you are about as idiotic as I've seen on FR.

Well,,,maybe not..but you are up there. HAHAHA!!

Apparently you can't comprehend the connection to Rhodesia and Rwanda...And apparently you don't read what you write...before you post it.

I've a very personal connection to Rhodesia/ Zimbabwe....which I'm quite sure YOU have not. I'm not going to belabour the point...I will leave that to other FReeper's..if they are inclined.

I've had enough of you....Miss Hot Tabasco...HA!!!

Good luck with your rude ways.....I would suggest you not take this tact in person when arguing...

You will have the last word..........

200 years from now, I want their children's children's children's children
to cower and cringe in fear whenever they hear the sounds of jet engines overhead
because their legends tell of fire from the sky.
I want them to hide in dark caves and holes in the earth,
shivering with terror whenever they hear the roar of diesel engines
because the tales of their ancestors talk about metal monsters
crawling over the earth, spitting death and destruction.
I want their mothers to be able to admonish them with
"If you don't behave, the Pale Destroyers will come for you",
and that will be enough to reduce them to quivering obeisance.
I want the annihilation to be so complete that their mythology
will tell them of the day of judgment when the stern gods from across the sea
.. the powerful 'Mericans .. destroyed their forefathers' wickedness.
