KANO, Nigeria, Sept 17 (Reuters) - Gunmen stormed a higher education college in northern Nigeria on Wednesday, firing on fleeing students and setting off an explosion in an attack that killed at least 15 people and wounded 35, police said.

There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the attack in the region's main city of Kano, but the Islamist militant group Boko Haram, which has repeatedly targeted civilians in the north, is likely to be a prime suspect.

A police spokesman added that officers arrived on the scene and killed two of the attackers.

"We heard several shots from the gate area and after a few minutes we heard an explosion at the theatre," said Sanusi Umar, who lectures in English at the federal government college and watched the attack from a neighbouring building.

"The attackers were wearing suits and were running and shooting everywhere."

Insurgents from Boko Haram, whose name means "Western education is forbidden", are fighting to carve out an Islamic state in Nigeria.

*reads the OP and ponders a thought* You know, the more I read the above, the more I'm reminded of two basic things in regards to Islam, (1)that just as in every major religion, there are always going to be nutjobs, whackos, psychoses, thugs, sociopaths, etc., and they need to be dealt with, period, and (2)until there is an Islamic Reformation of the kind similar to that of the Protestant Reformation, things like what happened above will continue to happen until someone (notably one of the mullahs' in Saudi Arabia, the supposed 'Guardians of Islam') rises up and basically does w/in their faith what Martin Luther did in Germany several centuries ago.

A blogger in ‘poor psychological condition’ has been sentenced to death after being found guilty of insulting the Prophet Mohammad on Facebook.

According to an ‘informed source’, speaking to the International Campaign for Human Rights in Iran, Soheil Arabi, 30, had kept eight Facebook pages under different names and admitted to posting material insulting to the Prophet on these pages.

Mr Arabi, who was arrested along with his wife in November last year by agents from the Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC), is said to have written the “material without thinking and in poor psychological condition”.

Branch 75 of Tehran’s Criminal Court, under Judge Khorasani, found Mr Arabi guilty of insulting the Prophet, or “sabb al-nabi”, on 30 August.

Article 262 of the Islamic Penal Code states insulting the Prophet carries a punishment of death, however, article 264 of the Penal Code says if a suspect claims to have said the insulting words in anger, in quoting someone, or by mistake, his death sentence will be converted to 74 lashes.

Iran: Happy video dancers sentenced to 91 lashes and jail

19 Sept

Six Iranians arrested for appearing in a video dancing to Pharrell Williams' song Happy have been sentenced to up to one year in prison and 91 lashes, their lawyer says.

The sentences were suspended for three years, meaning they will not go to prison unless they reoffend, he adds.

The video shows three men and three unveiled women dancing on the streets and rooftops of Tehran.

In six months, it has been viewed by over one million people on YouTube.

The majority of people involved in the video were sentenced to six months in prison, with one member of the group given one year, lawyer Farshid Rofugaran was quoted by Iran Wire as saying.

The "Happy we are from Tehran" video was brought to the attention of the Iranian authorities in May, after receiving more than 150,000 views.

Members of the group behind the video were subsequently arrested by Iranian police for violating Islamic laws of the country, which prohibit dancing with members of the opposite sex and women from appearing without a headscarf.

They later appeared on state-run TV saying they were actors who had been tricked into make the Happy video for an audition.

Good luck with that.

And people, I'd bet, said the same thing back when Martin Luther nailed his 95 Theses to the door at the Castle Church of Wittenburg 5 centuries ago and looked what happened afterward...:whistle::whistle::whistle:
 
thing is martin Luther was in the 16th century when everyone was ignorant and there was no science and people blindly followed faith
we are now in the 21st century...........................however islam is still in the 16th where everyone is ignorant and blindly follow faith

If memory serves, what followed was about three centuries worth of absolute turmoil in Europe including the sack of Rome, which was a delight for the citizens no doubt.
 
And today, this from Boko Haram

Boko Haram militants have attacked a rural market in the north-east Nigerian town of Mainok, killing dozens of people, officials and witnesses say.

Gunmen shot at traders and customers as they raided the busy market for food supplies on Friday.

The number of casualties is not yet clear, with some reports suggesting as many as 30 people were killed.

Boko Haram has taken control of a series of towns and villages in north-eastern Nigeria in recent weeks.

Authorities have struggled to defeat the militant Islamist group, which has been waging an insurgency in Nigeria since 2009.

The BBC's Will Ross, in Lagos, warns that parts of north-eastern Nigeria are slipping further and further out of the government's control, creating a growing humanitarian crisis.
'Pandemonium'

Many residents fled Mainok after the attack, making it difficult to obtain accurate information.

Reuters news agency quotes two security sources as saying that at least 36 people, including 13 gunmen, were killed in the gun battle, which continued into Saturday.

"Thirteen of the terrorists... were killed, some of them fled with gunshots and our colleagues are already on their trail. Unfortunately, 23 civilians died in the attack," one source is quoted as saying.

I wish the West and Russia would settle their difference over the Ukraine and focus on what we have in common rather than building aggression so that they can work together and focus on the real threat to peace and our way of life.

They are almost at war of the feck'n Ukraine while he real threat to the whole word is Islam
 
Yeah, they're here.

Because some of them are ours.

MOORE, Okla. (AP) — A man who had been fired from a food processing plant in an Oklahoma City suburb beheaded a woman with a knife and was attacking another worker when he was shot and wounded by a company official, police said Friday.

The 30-year-old man, who has not been charged, stabbed Colleen Hufford, 54, severing her head in Thursday's attack at Vaughan Foods, Moore Police Sgt. Jeremy Lewis said.

"Yes, she was beheaded," Lewis told The Associated Press before a Friday news conference.

Lewis said the man then stabbed Traci Johnson, 43, a number of times before being shot by Mark Vaughan, a reserve sheriff's deputy and the company's chief operating officer.

While questioning the suspect's co-workers, investigators learned he had recently started trying to convert several employees to Islam, Lewis said. Moore police have asked the FBI to aid in the investigation and look into the man's background because of the nature of the attack, Lewis said.

I don't think being disrespectful is the right way to go about it. If you want to illustrate how better of a person you are then being disrespectful isn't going to do the trick. Furthermore, how do we know she just did that simply because she doesn't care about anyone but herself? Being self centered isn't something to be applauded as a lot of the problems that go on in life stem from people who are self centered.

Well there is western society of being disrespectful. And there is a middle east way of being disrespectful. Machete anyone! I think hers is better and I support it.

Doesn't care about anyone except herself! She is trying to walk down a public road and probably decided I am not going to put up with this Islamic crap anymore. Every person should be walking all over these dicks for actually being disrespectful to a entire city.
 
She has the right to walk down the middle of that street is she wants to, well done to her :)
