Just one more thing for 'We the People' to be concerned about as muslim islamist terrorist group
Boko Haram announced their merger with ISIS. Two barbaric and
savage groups have now become one in this marriage of convenience between evil and all the more
evil. And this was done while Obama's so-called 'strategy' of containment remains the
same. Wanting to, as he calls it, 'degrade'...notice he does NOT say
destroy...the fighting power and resources of those whom he still will
NOT call 'muslim islamic terrorists,' Obama wants us to believe that he
can 'contain' ISIS with proven-to-date to be mostly ineffective limited
and targeted airstrikes in both Iraq and Syria.
And let's NOT forget that Obama continues to have our people waste
time and energy training unprepared and ill-performing Iraqi security
forces, while at the same time trying to get the Iraqi government to
kiss and make nice to the disaffected Sunnis amongst them.
With a 'strategy' like that it's a wonder that we don't just raise our hands in surrender.
And so this past Saturday, Nigerian-based Boko Haram's leader,
Abubakar Shekau, posted a well-produced audio message...complete with
'rolling' translations from his native Arabic to both French and
English...on the internet and on ISIS' Twitter account announcing some
details of their merger. Saying Boko Haram now owes its
"allegiance to
the Caliph of the Muslims, Ibrahim ibn Awad ibn Ibrahim al-Husseini
al-Qurashi" (another name for ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi who is
known to his followers as Caliph Ibrahim) "
...and will hear and obey in
times of difficulty and prosperity, in hardship and ease, and to endure
being discriminated against and not to dispute about rule with those in
power, except in case of evident infidelity,” Shekau...a 'takfiri' who
condones acts of violence as being a legitimate way of achieving islam's
religious and political goals...sees this merger as a way for Boko
Haram to gain legitimacy of sorts, to increase their funding, to gain
recruits, as well as his hoping to now become a player in the plans for
when the final caliphate is put into place.
And how did such an alliance come to be...how did 6,000 member Boko
Haram elevate itself from being just another local jihadi group to an
important and critical 'tentacle' of ISIS. The fact is there were two
main factions within the Nigerian based Boko Haram...who began their
military campaign to impose islamic rule in northern Nigeria in
2009... with the main faction headed by Abubakar Shekau being a violent offshoot
of the Salafi movement...and with the other faction...known as Ansaru...being but an
offshoot of the main faction. And it was this later offshoot to whom ISIS made
contact strongly urging them to 'unify' the group's two factions.
Wise move on ISIS' part as this resulted in a unified command between
the two factions allowing Boko Haram...which means 'Western education is
sin'...to expand throughout North Africa while continuing to do the
same horrific acts of savagery and barbarism as ISIS does. And now with
their being part of ISIS they get to show the world, via the internet,
that they too are a group to be feared and a group NOT to be taken
lightly.
And this merger with Boko Haram...who gained both notoriety and
infamy last April when its members kidnapped more than 200 Nigerian
schoolgirls...and who declared northeast Nigeria a caliphate a mere two
months after ISIS announced its caliphate in Syria and Iraq...also affords
ISIS a propaganda shot in the arm of sorts as they now gain a strong
foothold in North Africa via Nigeria, at the same time their soldiers on the ground
in both Iraq and Syria are somewhat hitting a roadblock and fighting on the defensive...sort of like taking one step forward then two steps backwards.
But as always, Barack HUSSEIN Obama looks away from the seriousness
of this merger NOT only because he thinks his version of
containment is the right strategy to force ISIS into becoming
the next president's headache, but also because he is accepting the findings of a
recent CIA report that claims that with Boko Haram being rooted in
African NOT Arabic islamic practices a divide between the two groups will shortly
occur...infighting if you will...even though both group's strict
fundamentalist interpretations of islam are quite similar...even though
both ISIS' and Boko Harham's are strict and unyielding adherents of
sharia law. And all the talk of a divide is because our media is adding fuel to the fire of misinformation that Arabs in general look down on blacks, which is
nonsense as numerous ISIS social media accounts exclusively target black
Americans, encouraging them to embrace islam, because they claim white
America is
“racist and oppressive.”
But this merger should NOT have been unexpected as clues were left
for those keen enough to pick-up on them. First, Boko
Haram... responsible for the murder of thousands...put out an eerily
similar to ISIS recruiting video that included a trailer followed by a
'feature' film...a film using special effects and high-definition in
exactly the same way like ISIS does. Second, fairly recently Boko Haram
mimicked the so-vile 'tactic of terror' ISIS is known for by releasing in
English, French, and Arabic, a six-minute video called 'Harvest of
Spies.' In this video a farmer is seen confessing to spying for the
police, and then a second man is briefly shown before it fades out and
cuts to footage of both men with their decapitated heads laying on their
chests. (See video here:

sent this video out over an official ISIS-affiliated Twitter account.
Yet mum is the word here in D.C. for as all this was unfolding this administration forgets
that last November many jihadis from Egypt, Algeria, Libya, and other
countries outwardly pledged their allegiance to ISIS. And forgotten as well is that just this past
January, Afghani and Pakistani militants also joined ISIS claiming they
constituted part of its province. And ISIS has also forged links with
other lesser known militant groups across North Africa and the Arabian
Peninsula as well...again as Obama looks away.
So as ISIS grows stronger with its adding Boko Haram into the fold, what
al-Qaeda does next should be quite interesting for while ISIS is 'THE'
terrorist group de-jour...especially with its huge war chest fueled by
illicit oil profits that bring in about $625,000 to $1.5 million per
day...it is still al-Qaeda who possesses the technology, the know-how,
the contacts, and the experience to carry off a large-scale 9/11 type of
attack. Also, ISIS while in their non-stop jihad mode
violates...according to al-Qaeda leader Ayman Zawahiri...islam's basic
teachings of how one is to fight the jihad battle. So by default he is actually calling
ISIS' leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi an opportunist and a fraud, because he
does NOT vet those who follow him nor does he care about his fellow
muslims...as he kills them as easily or more so than he kills we
infidels.
Thankfully for now ISIS and al-Qaeda remain separate groups of hate and
savagery, but just imagine if the two did join forces...with ISIS' money
and al-Qaeda's intel and technology coupled with a merger of both their
weapons and man-power...what would have been an easy take down now with a
committed American-led coalition of both 'boots on the ground' and non-stop
firepower from the air...could become a nightmare straight from the bowels
of hell...and Boko Haram will become just a small footnote in the war
between the civilized man and the savages.
The U.S. Department of Justice issued two reports last
week, both growing out of the Ferguson, Missouri shooting of Michael
Brown. The first report, about "the shooting death of Michael Brown by
Ferguson, Missouri police officer Darren Wilson" ought to be read by
every American.
“Hizb ut-Tahrir leader Ismail Alwahwah calls for jihad against Jews
