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.

They make the military weaker to prevent coups per the BBC article, makes sense.

Black lives only matter when killed by white police officers while resisting arrest.

Hey, they did a Twitter Tweet about the girls school kidnapping, so maybe we should cut them some slack.

Do I really need to say sarcasm?

Obama’s corrupt, and he supports Islamic terrorists, and for that reason he will not sell helicopters to Nigeria, that, and he hates Goodluck Jonathan with a passion.

PS ...remember that the Obama admin didn’t have any qualms about selling weapons to narcoterrorists on our southern border.

Cue the liberal media lamentations that this has nothing to do with Islam. And will western liberals continue to praise Nigeria’s tough anti gun ownership laws?
