This Week's Islamic Massacres > 27 fishermen and 6 loggers murdered by Boko Haram; 30-50 people massacred in Mali; Suicide bomber murders 24 people on train in Pakistan; 17 murdered in DRC

 

Nigeria: Muslims murder 33 fishermen and loggers in two separate jihad attacks


Terror is the heart and center of Islam. These attacks are designed to make non-Muslims, as well as Muslims who don’t submit to Boko Haram, terrified and ready to submit. Meanwhile, women are terrified of men, who can beat them with impunity, men are terrified of Allah, who can torture them forever in hellfire, and non-Muslims in general are terrified of Muslims, who may come upon them and kill them without warning while they’re going about their business.


Nigeria: Around thirty fishermen and loggers killed by jihadists in the northeast

AFP, May 20, 2026 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):

Boko Haram jihadists killed 33 fishermen and loggers in two separate attacks in Borno State, northeastern Nigeria, two sources told AFP on Wednesday….

On Monday, two jihadist attacks claimed the lives of 27 fishermen in the Mafa district and six loggers in the Dikwa district, according to an anti-jihadist militia and a union official of fishermen in the region.

“The fishermen were intercepted by Boko Haram fighters on motorcycles two kilometers from the town of Mafa,” said Babakura Kolo, a member of an anti-jihadist militia assisting the army.

“All 27 fishermen were killed,” he said….

Earlier in the day, six woodcutters were shot dead by Boko Haram fighters while collecting firewood in the bush outside the village of Malam Maja in the neighboring district of Dikwa, Mr. Kolo said.

These loggers were among those displaced by insecurity linked to jihadist activities and were living in makeshift camps in the town of Dikwa, 90 km from Maiduguri, Kolo said.

The jihadists are increasingly targeting loggers, farmers, fishermen, ranchers and scrap metal dealers in the region, accusing them of spying on them and passing information to the army….




Mali: Group for the Support of Islam and Muslims murder at least 30 people in jihad raids on villages


Isn’t it interesting that a group calling itself the Group for the Support of Islam and Muslims (Jama’at Nusrat al-Islam wal-Muslimin) would so often engage in mass murder. Is that the preferred way to support Islam and Muslims? It certainly seems that way. And if Western political and media authorities really cared about “Islamophobia,” shouldn’t they be going after groups such as this one, which make people associate Islam with violence and bloodlust, rather than going after people who simply call attention to jihadist atrocities and report accurately about their motivating ideology? Of course they should — if, that is, the entire “Islamophobia” initiative weren’t a scam meant to intimidate people into fearing to oppose jihad violence and Sharia oppression of women.

Armed fighters kill at least 30 people in attacks in central Mali

Al Jazeera, May 7, 2026:

Dozens of people have been killed in attacks reportedly carried out by al-Qaeda-affiliated fighters in central Mali, the deadliest assault since armed groups launched a widespread coordinated assault late last month.

According to local, security and administrative sources speaking to the AFP news agency on Thursday, attacks on the villages of Korikori and Gomossogou in the Mopti region killed at least 30 people a day earlier. Three sources – including an aid worker, a diplomat and a security source – separately told the news agency Reuters that the assailants had hit two unnamed localities in Mopti, killing at least 50 on Wednesday.

The latest attacks come a day after armed fighters stormed the Kenieroba Central Prison, a recently built complex about 60km (37 miles) southwest of Bamako, which houses 2,500 prisoners, including at least 72 inmates considered “high value” by the Malian state.

Mali was shaken by a wave of attacks since April 25 and 26, when the al-Qaeda-linked ⁠group Jama’at Nusrat al-Islam wal-Muslimin (JNIM) joined forces with the Tuareg-dominated rebel group Azawad Liberation Front (FLA)….

Pakistan: Jihad suicide bomber murders 24 people in attack on train carrying military personnel


By

The Baloch Liberation Army, which wants an independent Balochistan, claimed responsibility. Pakistan is an arbitrary, fictional state with no actual central identity or national integrity, so there is no reason why Balochistan should not be independent. The BLA’s tactics, however, are straight out of the Qur’an, the point of reference for virtually everyone in the Islamic world, particularly those who think political change will bring them liberation.

“Indeed, Allah has bought from the believers their lives and their wealth, because the garden will be theirs, they will fight in the way of Allah and will kill and be killed. It is a promise that is binding on him in the Torah and the Gospel and the Qur’an. Who fulfills his covenant better than Allah? Rejoice then in your bargain that you have made, for that is the supreme triumph.” (Qur’an 9:111)

Pakistan: 24 people killed after suicide bomber targets train carrying military personnel

Sky News, May 24, 2026:

At least 24 people have died after a suicide bomber targeted a train carrying military personnel and their families in Pakistan, officials say.

The shuttle service was travelling through the city of Quetta when a vehicle packed with explosives hit one of the carriages in a residential area, with people living nearby among the dead.

Two of the train carriages overturned and caught fire due to the force of the blast, sending black smoke into the air, according to footage online.

More than 70 others were injured in the explosion in the southwestern province of Balochistan, according ​to government and security officials.

Doctors at local hospitals said 20 people were in a critical condition.

The incident took place in an area where security forces are usually stationed.

Several buildings were damaged along with more than a dozen vehicles parked along the road, according to witnesses and images circulating on social media.

The train was carrying passengers from Quetta’s cantonment area to connect with ‌the Jaffar Express long-distance train when the blast happened.

Pakistan’s Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif strongly condemned the incident, calling it a “cowardly act of terrorism” in a post on X and offering condolences to the families of the victims.

Shahid Rind, a spokesperson for the Balochistan provincial government, said they “strongly condemn the targeting of innocent civilians and are deeply saddened by the loss of precious human lives. Terrorist elements deserve no leniency”.

A medical emergency was declared at hospitals in the city following the incident, and an investigation has been opened, he said.

Quetta is the capital of insurgency-hit Balochistan province, which borders Iran and Afghanistan.

The outlawed Baloch Liberation Army, (BLA), which demands independence from Pakistan’s central government, has claimed responsibility for Sunday’s attack in a statement sent to reporters….




Democratic Republic of Congo: Muslims murder 17 people and set many homes on fire

Allied Democratic Forces (ADF) is not just a “rebel group”; it’s a jihad group with ties to the Islamic State. The idea here is the same as it is everywhere else: to drive the non-Muslims out and incorporate this territory into the global umma.

The Islamization of Europe > Catholic prelate speaks the frightening truth; Syria blocks deportation of expatriots from Germany; 15 y/o rearrested for terrorism in Italy

 

Bishop Athanasius Schneider is a Catholic prelate from Kazakhstan with the vision and common sense to see what is happening in Europe and the courage to articulate it.


Bishop Athanasius Schneider is saying something a lot of people in Europe are afraid to admit out loud. He calls it what it really is. This is not about refugees. It’s a mass invasion aimed at turning Europe into an Islamic continent. He says this has been happening for the last 50 or 60 years, and now it’s speeding up fast. Europeans are barely having children, while many Muslim families have five, six or more. The numbers are clear. In a few decades, Europe could have a Muslim majority. He talks about a bigger plan behind it all. Powerful people are using this migration to destroy Europe’s Christian roots and its whole culture. No fancy words or political games. Just straight talk about what’s really happening with birth rates and the future of the continent. It’s refreshing to hear a church leader speak so honestly about this.



Syria blocks Germany’s deportation of Syrian nationals back to their home country

This suggests that even if Europe did summon up the will to save its own civilization and culture, the home countries of the migrants who are now in Europe boasting of their imminent takeover might not be inclined to be cooperative. Is it conceivable that if Syria’s president is a jihadist, he may look with favor upon the jihad in Europe? Nah, to think that would be “Islamophobic,” right?

Syria Blocks Mass Deportations from Germany by Withholding Travel Documents

by Javier Villamor, European Conservative, May 21, 2026:

The deportation of Syrian citizens from Germany has been virtually paralyzed despite the political announcements made by Berlin in recent months. A key reason is that Damascus has stopped issuing replacement travel documents for Syrian nationals facing deportation.

According to recently published information, since the end of January no German federal state has received the type of documentation required to carry out forced returns of individuals lacking valid passports or complete identity documents. These replacement documents are an essential requirement in deportation procedures. Without them, authorities may face serious legal and operational difficulties in carrying out returns even when a final deportation order exists.

German federal authorities have not officially confirmed the blockage, although they have not denied it either.

The issue currently affects around 11,000 Syrian citizens who are under an immediate legal obligation to leave Germany, according to data from the German Federal Police….

At the same time, political rapprochement between Europe and Syria continues to advance. Brussels has begun lifting certain sanctions, opened new diplomatic channels, and is studying financial mechanisms and reconstruction programs that could mobilize tens of billions of euros in the coming years.

This appeasing behavior, without receiving anything in return, is becoming increasingly controversial in Brussels corridors. While the European Union seeks migration cooperation and regional stabilization, Syria retains a particularly effective instrument of pressure: administrative control over the documentation of its own citizens.

The episode recalls a dynamic already familiar in European migration policy. For years, Turkey used its strategic position as a negotiating tool with Brussels. Morocco also turned border management into a form of diplomatic leverage on several occasions.

Italy: 15-year-old Muslim re-arrested for plotting jihad massacre, recruiting more jihadis


By

He was previously arrested for this and was held in a community detention center. Did Italian authorities really think that would be sufficient to compel him to abandon jihad? It’s likely they did, and in that case, they show themselves to be astonishingly ignorant of the nature and magnitude of the jihad threat, as are authorities all over the West.

Italian teenager re-arrested in Florence for terrorism recruitment

by Goldie Katz, Jerusalem Post, May 22, 2026:

A 15-year-old teenager was re-arrested in Florence for recruiting for the purpose of international terrorism after having previously been arrested for the same crime, said Italian state police on Wednesday.

According to a statement regarding the arrest, the teen had declared himself “ready to act” and received instructions on how to choose a target for a terror attack in chats with individuals linked to Islamist extremism.

The suspect was originally arrested for similar actions months ago and was held in a community detention center until he was released on probation.

Shortly after his release, he once again began interacting with social media profiles used by members of Daesh, a jihadist terrorist organization active mainly in Syria and Iraq, Italian authorities stated….
