Good news for a change, hurray!



Bodies (in the background) of suspected Islamists and their belongings lay in the streets of Maiduguri on Wednesday


Way to go, Nigeria.

It's amazing that a mere 1000 DRAFTED soldiers made that big an impact. Makes me wonder what would happen if a couple hundred Ghurkahs got sent in.

Detained Nigeria sect head 'dead'

The leader of an Islamic sect blamed for days of deadly violence in Nigeria has been killed in custody, police officials say.
What was that line from the 'Green Mile' ?
"Piss on me? Piss on you!"


Yes, ff, I was thinking what the heck? We have all these troops and politicians are arguing about getting the right equipment. What they do have is state of the art.
And while I'm sure these Nigerian soldiers are more than rag tag, hey they have a mission-and it's done! No sweat.
Ooo-ooo-ooo, RAH!

I don't believe this running battle used many IED's, which in other places are the major causes of wounded and dead, about 2/3's worth.

What got my eye was this Which I think is one way to deal with these people, as they will never give up the cause. Just wait it will be bigger and much more deadly in the next round.

But the west is so cool with their laws and the way one must be treated when captured... Someday the west will wake up to the fact these guys are out to take the world one place at a time... laws do not hinder them, death doesn't slow them and no matter what any of the other people of this faith say they are supported in all fashions to continue the war on the world.. hey we were scared enough in the 30's by one radio show of the same name. Now we just think of it as a reason to fight them here or there. One day it will be in the streets of the western cities. And the collateral damage will be the western countries own people.

If Western governments are going about fighting Islamist terrorism the wrong way, what do you suggest?

Are going to. You mean are doing so? And I reserve my opinion on how to fight them except to mention the greatest teacher on war, Sun Tzu. Who wrote a reed book on it called the "Art of War."

I need say not a thing more as in time the west will wake up. As should the many fine Muslims that believe in peace. It could change tomorrow if these peace lovers just got off their religion and said something. But NO the Koran is also their government so they can't question it. But must be told what to think. Just like the dark ages and before in Europe.
And yet they lie to accept citizenship in other countries, maintain a tight community and each generation after the parent is a bit more radical than the one before it.

So you think the problems of radicalism are inherent in Islam, much like Leon Uris in his book The Haj?

The mention of the Art of war was to mean that one doesn't win a guerrilla war
unless one fights in the same manner. Or with extreme numbers that the hammer and anvil can't but work.

Look I know what my stance would be if a armed struggle was used in my God, name. But hey how many years now in that part of the world has armed struggle in the name of one sides God, been going on? Why is that? And have the believers in peace just tired of it all and avoid comment?

And I am not a racist. In time the truth will show itself. That is what my thought above was based upon.
Now if you might please answer the questions I posed above, I would be enlighten.
