After a quiet week where only 16 people were massacred by Muslims, we seem to be returning to more normal numbers.
Nigeria: Jihadis kill at least 81 people, burn many shops and homes
The UN, proponents of Black Lives Matter, and other prominent human rights organizations and activists are silent in the face of such atrocities, as they always are when it comes to real cases of blacks being savaged. Whether it be in Africa or in the inner cities of America such as Chicago, which has been dubbed “Chiraq” because of its similarity to an Iraqi war zone, blacks killing blacks in droves gets little attention.

Afghanistan: Islamic State carries out jihad suicide bombing
in Kabul, killing 6 and injuring 13
ISIS-K (Khorasan province) is a regional branch of the Islamic State. It is active in South-Central Asia, mostly in Afghanistan and Pakistan. In what constitutes only a reminder of American impotence, the U.S. Special Representative for Afghanistan, Thomas West, has “condemned the most recent suicide attack by ISIS-K against employees of the Attorney General’s Office.” Yet he did not announce that the Biden administration will stop sending money to Afghanistan or will take any other action.
The Taliban and ISIS-K have been battling it out for years for regional control.
Last month, Foreign Affairs published a story, ISIS-K Goes Global, and Sky News ran one that illustrated this: How IS-K group linked to Taylor Swift terror plot is increasing in strength and influence. The Sky News article pointed to data from the Center for Information Resilience that showed “a rise in online propaganda and a surge in global plots” by ISIS-K that has made the group “the greatest external terror threat to Europe.” United Nations counterterrorism chief Vladimir Vorokov has also warned about the danger that ISIS-K poses to Europe.

Israel: Muslim crossing from Jordan murders
three Israelis at border with Judea and Samaria
Reuters refers here to the “occupied West Bank.” They would claim it is occupied “Palestinian” land, but there never has actually been a “Palestinian” state that owns this land. By virtue of the Mandate for Palestine, which is the last international agreement governing this territory, the land was set aside for a Jewish National Home, which is the State of Israel. So if anyone is “occupying” the “West Bank,” it is the “Palestinians.”
Gunman crossing from Jordan kills three Israelis at border, Israeli army says
Reuters, September 8, 2024:
NEAR ALLENBY BRIDGE CROSSING, West Bank — A gunman crossing from Jordan killed three Israeli civilians at the Allenby Bridge border in the occupied West Bank before security forces shot him dead on Sunday, Israeli authorities said.
It was the first attack of its kind along the border with Jordan since Palestinian Islamist group Hamas carried out an assault on southern Israel on Oct. 7, sparking the war in Gaza that has ratcheted up tensions across the region.
The attack took place in a commercial cargo area under Israeli control where Jordanian trucks offload cargo entering the West Bank, officials said. The crossing, also known as the King Hussein Bridge, is about midway between Amman and Jerusalem just north of the Dead Sea.
“A terrorist approached the area of the Allenby Bridge from Jordan in a truck, exited the truck and opened fire at the Israeli security forces operating at the bridge,” the Israeli military said.
“The terrorist was eliminated by the security forces, three Israeli civilians were pronounced dead as a result of the attack,” it added.
Shortly after, Israel closed all three of its land border crossings with Jordan, according to the Israel Airports Authority which oversees such routes….
Urban youths swell ranks of separatist suicide squads
in Pakistan’s Balochistan province
More than 70 people were killed in multiple attacks across the Pakistani province of Balochistan on August 25th and 26th in an operation claimed by the separatist militant group Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA). While the group claimed to have used suicide bombers and armed fighters against military and economic targets, Pakistani officials said the victims included migrant workers from the neighbouring Punjab region, who were dragged from their trucks and shot when they were identified as Punjabi.
The attacks targeted military convoys and camps, police stations and highways across the province, including roads built as part of the China–Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC), a Chinese-funded project to link the region’s Arabian Sea ports to the Chinese border 1800 km to the northeast. The group claimed to have also attacked a police station in Gwadar, a southwestern port city that is a key hub of the CPEC.
At the other end of the province, in the Musakhel district near the border with Punjab, Pakistani police said that BLA militants stopped vehicles, demanded IDs and executed 23 people after identifying them as Punjabi migrant workers.
The Pakistan Armed Forces said 14 soldiers and police were killed in the attacks, adding that their forces killed 21 of the militants.
