This Week's Islamic Massacres > Pakistan suicide bomber kills 14 at peace rally; 30 Christians slaughtered in Nigeria; 30 more murdered as Christian village destroyed by Fulani Herdsmen

 

Pakistan: Muslim murders at least 14 people in jihad suicide bombing at peace rally


Well, here is as vivid and precise an illustration of why Islam is not actually a religion of peace as anyone could ask for. No one, however, of any power or influence will be paying attention, and the establishment will continue to obfuscate the cause of this kind of behavior, as it has done for decades now.

Suicide bombing, by the way, derives its justification from the Qur’an: “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)



At least 14 killed in suicide attack in Pakistan during peace rally

WION, August 2, 2026 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):

At least 14 people were killed, including police officers and close to two dozen injured in a suspected suicide bombing outside a police station in northwestern Pakistan on Sunday evening. According to a Swat District Police Officer (DPO) the suicide bomber identified as Umar detonated explosives after police personnel attempted to stop and search him at the entrance of the police station.

The attack occurred in Kabal town in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, where protesters had gathered near a police station, raising anti-militant slogans and demanding peace, when the incident happened….

No group has claimed responsibility for the attack so far but suspicion are being raised on the Pakistani Taliban, known as Tehrik-e-Taliban Pkistan [sic], or TTP….

 









Another slaughter of Christians in Nigeria

HEARTBREAKING: 30 Christians were slaughtered in Naridon Village, Kaduna, Nigeria. 

The mainstream media will not say a word about it. The persecution of Christians around the world is a genocide and the world is silent. Stop Christian Genocide in Nigeria.

According to Grok:

The X post reports the July 26-27, 2026 attack in Naridon village, Kauru LGA, Kaduna State, where gunmen killed about 30 residents, mostly Christians including 10 women and 11 children, with houses burned and survivors injured.



While the numbers are the same as the brief story above, the following appears to have happened in a different state in Nigeria.


Nigeria: Muslims murder 30 in jihad raid on Christian village as people were in churches

The idea is to maximize the terror that the victims feel, in accord with the Qur’anic command: “Make ready for them all that you can of force and of warhorses, so that by them you may strike terror in the enemy of Allah and your enemy…” (Qur’an 8:60)


Over 30 feared dead, 50 houses torched as terrorists attack Plateau community

by Lekkyez Auta, Daily Post, August 17, 2026:

A resident of the community, Lonji Zuhumnan, who confirmed the carnage to DAILY POST on Monday morning, said the rampaging gunmen numbering over 100 and armed with sophisticated weapons stormed the community at about 7:30am, shooting sporadically for several hours, killing the victims, injuring others and setting houses and food silos ablaze….

“Our community, Jwak Maitumbi, came under severe attack yesterday (Sunday) morning,” Zuhumnan said.

“The Fulani terrorists numbering over 100 and carrying sophisticated weapons stormed the village at about 7:30am as people were either in churches or preparing to go to their worship centres. They started shooting sporadically while the residents scampered for safety, and in the process, several people were gunned down by the attackers.

“At the end of the carnage, we counted over 30 dead bodies while several others were injured. Apart from the people they slaughtered, the terrorists also burned down over 50 houses, shops, health centres, churches and food barns.

“They also entered our farms and destroyed crops planted. While the assailants were having a field day, frantic calls made to security personnel in Mangu were futile as the soldiers did not come until the attackers had finished their mission and fled into the bushes and rocks,” the youth leader said.

Nigerian Army: Self-declared Boko Haram Leader Abubakar Shekau 'Fatally Wounded'

If Goodluck Jonathon were still running Nigeria, I would completely dismiss anything that comes from the Army. However, since his demise I have come to where I almost believe what the military say.

ABUJA, Nigeria, Aug. 23 (UPI) -- The Nigerian Army said an airstrike carried out last week "fatally wounded" self-proclaimed Boko Haram leader Abubakar Shekau.

Nigerian Army Col. Sani Kukasheka Usman, acting director of the army's public relations division, said Monday the "unprecedented and spectacular air raid" conducted on Friday by the Nigerian air force killed "some key leaders of the Boko Haram terrorists" while others were "fatally wounded."

"Those Boko Haram terrorists commanders confirmed dead include Abubakar Mubi, Malam Nuhu and Malam Hamman, amongst others," the army colonel wrote. "While their leader, so-called 'Abubakar Shekau,' is believed to be fatally wounded on his shoulders. Several other terrorists were also wounded."

If this is true it is good news. With Shekau being ousted as leader there was a good probability that he could have started a competing terror group with his and Boko Haram each trying to out-do the other. That, if possible, would have made life even more difficult for the good people of northeast Nigeria. It would also have split military resources fighting against them. Let's hope 'fatally wounded' is an accurate description of Shekau's injuries.

Shekau became leader of Boko Haram after its founder, Mohammed Yusuf, was killed in 2009 -- when the militant Islamist group first began its campaign of mass kidnappings, executions, suicide bombings and assaults on remote military bases and villages. More than 20,000 people have been killed and millions have fled Nigeria due to the fighting that created a humanitarian crisis.

Boko Haram would later pledge allegiance to the Islamic State -- becoming the self-proclaimed caliphate's West Africa province.

Earlier this month, Shekau said in a video he remained the leader of Boko Haram despite contradicting claims published in an Islamic State magazine, also vowing to continue fighting. At that time, the Islamic State declared Abu Musab al-Barnawi, the son of founder Yusuf, the new "governor" of Boko Haram.

Boko Haram was designated a foreign terrorist organization by the U.S. State Department in 2013. The militant Islamic group seeks to establish an Islamic state in Nigeria and has ruthlessly targeted civilians.
