It’s the world’s deadliest terrorist organization – a murderous army of Islamic extremists that has turned death and destruction into a way of life.
It’s not al-Qaeda. It’s not ISIS. And it’s not even in the Middle East.
While ISIS-backed terrorists have captured the world’s attention after a series of bloody attacks in the heart of Europe, another Islamist militant organization is growing bigger and bolder.
And no one is talking about it yet.
Nigeria’s Boko Haram has pledged allegiance to ISIS, vowing to wipe out all who stand in the way of its savage interpretation of Islam.
“Boko Haram learns very quickly,” Former US ambassador to Nigeria Robin Sanders told Al Jazeera.
This ability to rapidly shift tactics and open new fronts has allowed Boko Haram to surpass ISIS as the world’s deadliest terrorist organization. The group has masterminded the slaughter of hundreds of innocents at a time – in one case, killing some 2,000 people in a single brutal attack.
In another, they kidnapped hundreds of young schoolgirls, most of whom have never been seen again – but many were reportedly forced to covert to Islam and turned into child brides.
In a particularly vile twist, Boko Haram leader Abubakar Shekau then released a video taunting the girls’ parents.
“If you knew the state your daughters are in today, it might lead some of you… to die from grief,” he said.
Other kids have suffered an even worse fate, with many burned alive and others – including young girls – turned into unwilling suicide bombers.
After years of ignoring this looming threat, President Barack Obama’s administration is finally starting to pay attention. In February, they began sending Special Operations to Nigeria to help coordinate a counter-assault.
But like much of the White House’s “planning” over the past 7 years, it may be too little too late – because Boko Haram isn’t just big.
It’s huge.
At one point, they controlled an area of 20,000 square miles – about twice the size of Massachusetts – and ruled with an iron fist over a population of 1.8 million.
Those who did not immediately convert to their brand of extremist Islam were singled out for slavery, torture and death.
Some of that territory has been recaptured, but Boko Haram continues to hold vast portions of the country and is threatening to take more by combining traditional arms with sick new weapons – including birds with explosives strapped to them.
It would be easy to dismiss this as problem in a far-away land — but that would be a huge mistake, because this group is not content to be a regional power.
They’ve already expanded from Nigeria to threaten four other neighboring countries – and the targets of their attacks indicated even bigger goals.
They’re attacked Western interests, and even the United Nations itself.
Already, Boko Haram and ISIS share “tactics, techniques and procedures,” according to U.S. Brig. Gen. Donald Bolduc, commander of special operations in Africa.
If they’re allowed to grow unchecked, it will only be a matter of time before it shares more with ISIS – including assaults on innocents in other nations.

It’s probably a form of racism. We don’t pay as much attention to Africa. But even our first Black President doesn’t pay attention to Africa, either.
The Redhawk says
Baracky the STUPID believes that IF he Ignores This bunch of African Murderers……Well They do not EXIST….and this is the way the MORON sees the ISSUE!!!
Dodie says
He see’s what is what, However he has an agenda. When he leaves the White House, He is going to be the new president of all Muslims. There is only one thing that could have this excalating and that this is we had any smart Americans in this once great Country. As for the politicians, They are in it for the greed but are too stupid to know that all the money in the world will do them no good because they will be eliminated as well. (Dodie)
J B Mackey says
Dody, There is one man who stands head and shoulders over all the one’s running for the Presidential seat. He does not want mega Pac money or Exxon or any other mega corporation. His name is Donald J. Trump, if you are not smart enough to recognize all the dirty tricks that have singled him out to get rid of him and failed. All I can say is I pity you in your ignorance. My one fear is people like you will do something stupid the same as all these terrorist and the Democratic runners, Obama who desperately wants this country to fall, Hillary Clinton and her family have more criminal acts stacked against them in such a manner it is like untangling a box of knotted up twine, as for as the other runner I never heard of him before but he beat Hillary’s butt in the east.
Ask your self one question, why is the politicians so against one man? Answer: He will expose the dirt bags they really are and they will pay for their crimes.
Ralph says
Do you have any specifics on how Donald will full fill his
promises ?
AL B Peters says
Trump is a draft dodging bully and coward. He is about to change, transform himself into the liberal, most think he is not.
Trump will never build a wall that Mexico pays for; he will never apologize for putting down a war hero, John McCain; Trump fears women,belittles handicapped, and Hillory would clean his clock in a debate as Trump has said nothing meaningful, other than sound bites his lemmings want to hear:Make America Great……Destroy ISIS…..forget about politically correct(yet he supports NCarolina lawetc).
The only person Trump is helping is himself, as he will immediately work to revamp the tax code to make more money..(reduce wealthy and estate taxes).
When he issues his tax returns(if he ever does)we will see all the money given to Dems/liberals. His own daughter and son were registered as liberals….and missed the primary vote. Hillory supporters love Trump for President as she can be wearing an orange pantsuit and will still win.
Never Trump. Vote Cruz.
Jake says
JB – Whatever you think of the 3 candidates, the polls have continued to indicate that Kasich is the only one who can beat Hillary. Unless she is indicted, (unlikely) neither Trump nor Cruz will have a chance – they are both too unpopular with too too many. Hillary has huge numbers of blind faith followers who don’t care one bit about her OBVIOUS DISHONESTY! And relative to Hillary, you can’t possibly believe that Trump or Cruz would have a chance with the minority voter! He or she who promises the free stuff gets the vote, period.
Carl says
The Donald may not be the elite medias choice primarily because they are in his sights too. Our so called media is part of the Three legged milk stool cabal, of BIG Govt., Business and Media. They are all scared out of their collective minds since he does not fit “THE MOLD” that THEY have deemed as appropriate for their world view. Since academia is the biggest contributor to the Saul Alinsky “Rules for Radicals” style of government, media is of course on board and let us not forget that Hillary wrote her thesis on the anti-constitutional author.
Can The Donald do everything, anything he promises ? Who knows? It all depends on how sincere the Congress is on saving the Republic. That is the point that all the entrenched bobble head talking heads have no concern for. They are so ego driven as to being the smartest person in the room that the idea of losing the Freedoms they enjoy is beyond their mental capabilities. I have witnessed the gradual erosion of individual freedoms since my first vote in 1960 and to all you people that have no knowledge of what happened in America before the mid 80’s I suggest you visit a local VFW hall and talk to some of the few that are left about what America USED to be. I will close with an answer given to a reporter from the Chaplin of the Senate. Asked if he prayed for the Senate, he replied, NO, I look at the Senate and Pray for America,
Godzilla_vs._KingKong says
I stand by you 1,000,000,000% and I agree of your comment to vote Donald J. Trump.
I have never been sure of all the President since Ronald Reagen……, BUT for Trump!, I am very Positive and sure of Donald Trump (I Hope he will do as he said he would do…., to clean up this Capital Hill Fuc*ked-up Congress People and Cut their crime wages along with All JEW connection ). JEW are the KEYS of Problematic over Century to America…. I study of their connection…. it is the FACTS!!!!!!! But the Media DO NOT DARE to find this secrecy…
Anyway, I strongly Believe Donald will WIN the White House 2016….and will re-elected again without any problem. Trump will make good turn for America…….!!
Godzilla_vs._KingKong says
I support you comment and I stand by you every step of the way, and kill this American lousy politician who prefer greeding money over poor low income people. thank you well said.
Marcia says
I agree with ;you
Chris says
It is the same reason why Obama and his merry band of losers (i.e. other Democrats) will not label “Black Lives Matter” as a terrorist or extremist organization in America. He believes robbing, looting, raping, and murdering is a just cause.
Ron says
First, Obama is not “Black”. By percentages he is mostly Arab and White, with a very small percentage of Black.
John says
When do you think we could see his WHITE side?
Arizona Don says
Never!
Godzilla_vs._KingKong says
Interesting comment…..?, I will keep that in mind…..
Godzilla_vs._KingKong says
He still can be called “Black N*gger” right….? After all he is Running His Black sheep family in The White House…..
Semper Fi says
Just like he doesn’t pay any attention to America
Aachmed Hazmat says
The media is told not to mention Africa.
1. We are building bases to get in the door to rape Africa of it’s oil, gold, etc….etc Russia and China are doing the same.
2. We fund Boko Harum so it is a viable threat to bla-blah-blah so the pentagon and the big money people can go in.
Look up “Africom” it’s the new biggie division of the pentagon.
Constitutionalist says
Aachmed-
i believe you’re spot-on with your analysis. i smell the stench of CIA doing the bidding of the PNAC crowd.
Part of the globalist’s strategy is to eliminate most nation-states of the planet and meld them into various “Unions,” each ruled by an unelected body of banksters accountable to NO ONE, and to reach this goal, they feel they must first destabilize each region by using thugs that they arm, train, supply, brainwash, and facilitate in almost all ways(short of air-support, so far – unless you count the Muslim Brotherhood being given planes by D’OweBama). They got their “European Union,” and now they want a “North American Union,” a “South American Union,” an “African Union,” an “Asian Union,” and probably a “South-East Asian Union”(to encompass the Far East, from Japan to Australia, iirc). Once they achieve THAT goal, then they want to merge ALL these “Unions” into a planetary government that these banksters control…once again, none of them elected, none of them accountable to anyone for anything they say or do.
Watch and see; it won’t be long before the Islamic sleeper cells in America start routinely suicide bombing, mass raping(as in Britain and Sweden), and generally making nuisances of themselves. So far, Americans have been able to stave off the gun-grabbers, so can mostly defend themselves against these mostly-ignorant fools who’ve been brainwashed into believing that they’re doing it for Allah and the ultimate Triumph of Islam over the world – when in reality, they’re just tools of these Banksters and don’t have a clue. But any who engage in these kinds of activities in America are likely to be shot while trying it, so they’re biding their time until they can get someone elected who will violate their Oath to the Constitution and repeal the 2nd Amendment, would be my guess. i also suspect that many of these Muslims, especially the ones being brought in by the thousands to rural airports in the middle of the night, are being hidden and trained while awaiting a Signal to sally forth and begin their slaughter of Americans, too.
Madmarmot says
I saw a American missionary, A democrat, say “my friends will hate me for this, but George W. Bush did more for the African continent than any other president in history”.
They loved him there. Im sure that’s why that was his last presidential trip before leaving office.
Bob Roller says
He’s busy bowing to these bastards and will never acknowledge the danger they present.
dot says
This is yet another Obama/Hillary Failure , not wanting to classify Boko Haram as a terrorist group ….
EEL RIVER says
JUST IGNORE THE WHOLE THING, AN BLAME IT ON GLOBAL WARMING, OR GEORGE BUSH. ITS THE COMMIE WAY.
Robert Pavlick says
And needless to say, this new terrorist group is another ISLAMIC GROUP !!!!! So much for Peaceable Islam !!!!!
Dennis Wall says
This is a result of Obama’s plan of “Strategic Patience”! He has stalled as long as possible letting ISIS, ISIL & Boko Haram gain momentum. Only because he is a Lame Duck President can he be forced to go against his cohorts. Obama is the reason for their horrific growth & momentum! Thousands of innocent precious men, women & children have been massacred, mutilated, raped, tortured & crucified because he wanted them to suffer. This is all very funny to him. He is one of the most dispicable subhumans to have ever lived on planet earth! He will receive just what he has sown. It will be one of the greatest days in history when he is removed from earth!
3) But every person who doesn’t declare that Jesus Christ has come as a human has a spirit that isn’t from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist that you have heard is coming. That spirit is already in the world.
1 John 4:3 God’s WORD
Constitutionalist says
Dennis-
A side-note to your point 3.
Christ is the Word.
Otherwise, John 1:1 et seq. would say, “In the Beginning was the Bible, and the Bible was with God, and the Bible WAS God,” wouldn’t it?
There is NO OTHER “Word” of God. Never again make the mistake of equating the Bible to Christ, or worse, over Christ, please.
Deborah Logue says
Amen brother Dennis. None of this is ever going to be solved until the second coming of Christ. Until then we must persevere in spreading the Good News of the kingdom so that none should perish but have everlasting life…..
David Renaud says
Like most all democraps , these people are all bigots, racists, idiots, and most of all, worthless people………Go Trump…….
me says
obama needs to GET OUT of the kitchen, he can’t take the heat. Trump 2016!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Justin W says
These Islamic terrorist groups need to be destroyed before they grow and become a larger problem. Ultimately Muslim leaders need to take a stand against these groups and the radicalism which fuels them. I have read of reports where Islamic worshippers are subjected to fiery rhetoric in many mosques that encourages the radicalism.
Ron C says
To even think that our government cares about innocent people…is insanity….ISIS is a CIA funded operation…period. As is most terrorist organizations. The end game is a one world government police state dictatorship….Ask your self, why European leaders are giving up on its western civilization and its values of freedom….??? The NWO noose is closing rapidly…!
Guest says
>>They’re attacked Western interests, and even the United Nations itself.
If Boko Haram could be constrained to only attacking the latter, I wouldn’t be so worried.
The League of Nations eventually became useless and shut itself down, but UN turned
into the most detrimental, disgusting and pompous organizations on this planet.
Beano McReano says
Muslim Arabs are bad enough. Negroes may be the worst. But a Negro Muslim???
Carl says
Where do my comments , that contain no profanity , go to after I post?
mike dar says
‘BOKU’, another group ignored so that Obama had a better chance being elected 2012 and Hillary never allowed BOKU to be classified as ‘Terrorist’ grouping which slowed funding and intelligence gathering on the group.
Due to Hillary’s actions/lack of, for personal Political advancement, thousands have been murdered, raped, enslaved and hacked to death.
What will Hillary do next for political advancement?
Richard says
Does it seem like Obama purposely waits till it is too late to counter Muslim Terrorists?
