The latest news from Nigeria is not good.  Reports have come in that 300 people have been killed by Boko Haram Jihadists in a single attack.

Sky News said:

“Up to 300 people are reported to have been killed in the latest attack blamed on an Islamist group that abducted more than 200 schoolgirls and threatened to sell them at market.

Borno state senator Ahmed Khalifa Zanna told Sky News hundreds of people were reported to have been killed in the northeastern Nigerian town of Gamboru Ngala by armed men believed to be from Boko Haram.

He said the suspected militants opened fire on residents, before burning down numerous shops and businesses in the town near the Cameroon border.

Mr Zanna is also reported as saying the town was left unguarded after soldiers were moved to join the hunt for the 276 girls who went missing from a boarding school in the village of Chibok in Borno state, north Nigeria, on April 14.

A further 11 girls, aged 12 to 15, were taken from the northeastern village of Warabe on Tuesday.”

When I read stories like this I can’t see why how otherwise sensible and intelligent people continue to give the ideology of Islam a free pass. Islam isn’t a religion, it is murderous fascism.  This is Islam, this is savagery and more people need to realise this.
