Robert Spencer: Americans Assume the Jihad Is Over. In Africa, It's Bloodier and More Aggressive Than Ever
From June 18th, but still of interest, I think.
[PJMedia] The news out of Uganda Saturday was horrifying. The News Agency that Dare Not be Named reported that authorities in that country had "recovered the bodies of 41 people, including 38 students, who were burned, shot or hacked to death after suspected rebels attacked a secondary school near the border with Congo." The rebels were members of the Allied Democratic Forces (ADF), which despite its name is actually an Islamic group with ties to the Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're really very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear western pols talk they're not really Moslems....
(ISIS) and aspirations of establishing a caliphate in Central and East Africa. While the world’s attention has been focused on Ukraine, climate and COVID hysteria, and the alleged crimes of Donald Trump
...The tack in the backside of the Democratic Party...
, the global jihad, which most Americans regard as a relic from 2001, has been newly resurgent in Africa.

The massacre, according to AP, took place at Lhubiriha Secondary School in the town of Mpondwe, which is near the border of Uganda and the Democratic Republic of the Congo
...formerly the Congo Free State, Belgian Congo, Zaire, and who knows what else, not to be confused with the Brazzaville Congo aka Republic of Congo, which is much smaller and much more (for Africa) stable. DRC gave the world Patrice Lumumba and Joseph Mobutu, followed by years of tedious civil war. Its principle industry seems to be the production of corpses. With a population of about 74 million it has lots of raw material...
. The ADF, says AP, "has been launching attacks for years from bases in volatile eastern Congo." Mpondwe-Lhubiriha Mayor Selevest Mapoze "said that some of the students suffered fatal burns when the rebels set fire to a dormitory and others were shot or hacked with machetes." By the time soldiers arrived on the scene, the entire school was ablaze and there were "dead bodies of students lying in the compound," according to Ugandan military front man Brig. Gen. Felix Kulayigye.

Uganda’s New Vision reported Saturday that only three students survived the attack. One of them, a young man named Mumbere Bright, recounted that "the rebels immediately rubbed out the student who was at the entrance after entering the dormitory." He added, "The rebels asked for Moslems among the students, but there were none. The rebels said they do not kill fellow believers." After that, "they slaughtered every student in their sight using pangas, axes and sharp objects."

The fact that the rebels hoped to separate Moslems from the other students before beginning their massacre is noteworthy. The Qur’an forbids Moslems to kill fellow Moslems (4:92); regarding non-Moslems, however, it repeats the injunction to "kill them wherever you find them" (2:191, 4:89, cf. 9:5), although subjugating them under Islamic rule is also offered as an option (9:29). There have been many instances in which jihadis separated Moslems from a crowd before killing the non-Moslems. Even in the U.S., a jihad terrorist in Minnesota in 2016 asked mall shoppers if they were Moslem and then stabbed non-Moslems.

Similarly, in April 2022 in Nigeria, jihadis stormed a brothel, telling people to recite the Qur’an, and murdering ten people who could not do. Also in Nigeria, in January 2022, a man recounted that Fulani
... a peculiarly brutal tribe of Moslem herdsmen infesting Mali, Niger, Nigeria, and probably other places that are light on law and order and heavy on tribal identity...
jihadis stopped him and started beating him. Then they asked him if he was Moslem or Christian; when he said he was Christian, they intensified the beating. In Burkina Faso
...The country in west Africa that they put where Upper Volta used to be. Its capital is Oogadooga, or something like that. Its president is currently Blaise Compaoré, who took office in 1987 and will leave office feet first, one way or the other...
in November 2021, jihadis asked villagers if they were Christian or Moslem, then killed the Christians. In Mozambique in June 2021, jihadis hunted for Christians door-to-door. In the Philippines in February 2019, jihadis murdered a man for failing to recite Qur’an verses, while releasing six others who could recite them.

In Mali in 2015, jihadis screaming "holy shit! Allahu akbar" took hostages, freeing those who could recite the Qur’an. In September 2013 at Nairobi’s Westgate Mall, jihadis murdered people who couldn’t answer questions about Islam. In June 2014, jihadis murdered people who could not pass an Islam quiz. In a Bangladeshi restaurant in July 2016, jihadis spared those who could recite from the Qur’an. In July 2017 in Kenya, jihadis asked their captives to "recite Islamic dogmas" and murdered those who couldn’t do so. In May 2018 in Belgium, a jihadi who murdered four people told a hostage that he wouldn’t harm her since she was Moslem and was observing the Ramadan fast. In September 2018 in Kenya, jihadis murdered two non-Moslems for failing to recite the Qur’an.

It is noteworthy that so many of those incidents took place in Africa. If the jihadis succeed in attaining their goals, Christians and other non-Moslems all over the continent will be forced into a humiliating inferior status featuring all manner of institutionalized discrimination. The second-class status prescribed for non-Moslems under Islamic law makes Merrick Garland’s two-tier justice system look like Blind Justice personified.

Now we see the same phenomenon of Islamic supremacism and jihad violence in Uganda. Meanwhile,
...back at the Council of Boskone, Kinnison began his slow infiltration of the sewer system...
jihadis strike virtually every day in Nigeria, and are active in Somalia, Mozambique, and elsewhere in Africa as well. The governments of the various states in which the jihadis operate seem unable (or, in Nigeria’s case, unwilling) to stop them. It could be that a distracted world could someday soon find to its horror that ISIS, a group that most people thought had been stamped out years ago, has established a new caliphate comprising much of Africa. This would give a whole new piquancy to the mass migration of young African men into Europe, and have far-reaching geopolitical implications.

Peter Schweizer: ‘The Dam Is Starting to Break' on Biden Family Corruption

#1  I'm beginning to wonder if the apparent malaise the country seems to have about doing anything to fix the sewer that is our national political landscape is actually very simple.

Half the country pretty much knows or suspects the level of the demokrat corruption, theft, cheating and looting for their allies, and expects nothing will be done about it.

The other half knows it as well, but doesn't care since they like getting everything they want or think they deserve, love seeing the right getting screwed and losing, and feel its ok to cheat, lie, steal and intimidate to get it.

Embedded beneath those two groups are a whole lot of people who have no idea jpw the world works, and frankly, never will.

#2  Really makes no difference what the masses think. As long as the institutions remain corrupt, the Uniparty continues, the media stays compliant….. nothing will change.

Remember no one is above the law except the 1000s of exceptions thrown in our face daily

#3  Beginning to see just how much a lot of the country will tolerate just to avoid having that icky Trump back again.

#4  Biden’s removal has been approved by the puppeteers. This can be seen in the WH press briefings. Before it was one guy grilling KJP. Now it looks like she is being jumped into a street gang.

#2  and apparently James Comey hid all this crap from Att Gen Barr

Israel-Palestine-Jordan
With drone strike, IDF changes West Bank rules in response to emboldened terrorism
[israelTimes] Military employed airpower after seeing gunnies increasingly use highways for shooting attacks and violent mostly peacefully resist Israeli incursions into Jenin

The military’s use of airpower in the West Bank twice this week, after refraining for two decades, indicates Israel is looking to change the rules of the game when it comes to fighting Paleostinian terror. This appears to have come after Paleostinian gangs changed the rules first, by ramping up terror attacks and more heavily resisting Israeli operations.

The northern West Bank, and especially the city of Jenin and its environs, have long been considered by the Israel Defense Forces hotbeds of terrorism, highlighted by a string of attacks in early 2022 of which many were carried out by residents of the area. Several of Israel’s targeted Arclight airstrike
