    BBC journos, like all good Leftists, respond positively to violence. This is specially so if the perps are Leftists or fundamentalist Muslims.

    The bBC and how it whitewashes the crimes of radical Islam, in which to portray them as victims.
    Taken from the bBC article which DV bases this thread on:
    “The trouble in July 2009 began when officials fearing Yusuf’s increasingly radical sermons calling for a jihad against the government sent the security forces to attack the sect’s mosque.Sect members returned fire and for four days had the run of the town in a killing spree.When their ammunition ran out, the police moved in, killed more people and arrested many others – among them Nigerian journalist Ahmad Salkida.”
    And here is how the leftwing Guardian wrote up the same story:
    “Nigerian authorities ignored dozens of warnings about a violent Islamist sect until it attacked police stations and government buildings last week in a bloodbath that killed more than 700 people, Muslim clerics and an army official said…..On 26 July, militants from the sect attacked a police station in Bauchi state, triggering a wave of militant violence that spread to three other northern states. Nigerian authorities retaliated five days later by storming the group’s sprawling Maiduguri headquarters, killing at least 100 people in the attack, half of them inside the sect’s mosque. About 700 people were killed in days of violence last week in Maiduguri alone, according to Colonel Ben Ahanotu, the military official in charge of a local anti-crime operation. A relief official said thousands fled the city.”
    It seems the bBC, has taken to inventing a totally different story in which to portray Radical Islamic Thugs as the victims here. Gee I wonder why?

      Further to my last here is how the bBC reported on the story at the time:  
      Dozens killed in Nigeria clashes  
      At least 39 people have died in clashes between security forces and a radical Islamist group in the north-eastern Nigerian city of Bauchi, officials say.The clashes occurred after dozens of men armed with guns and explosives attacked a police station.   
      They were repelled and security forces responded by attacking a settlement on the edge of the city, reports said.  Authorities said the militants belonged to Boko Haram, a group that wants Sharia law imposed across Nigeria. Islamic law has been in effect in the state of Bauchi since 2001.  The city of Bauchi has been placed under curfew following Sunday’s clashes and the Nigerian military are controlling roads leading into the area, the BBC Caroline Duffield reports from Nigeria. After the attack on the police station early on Sunday locals counted five dead bodies at the scene.  

      It seems that whoever wrote the report in question didn’t even bother to check with how the bBC reported the story in the first instance so as to prevent smart arses like myself from catching them out.

    INBBC provides no historical context to the imperialist expansion of Islam in Nigeria; in the current INBBC ‘report’, there is no mention that the victims of the Islamic jihadists( such as Boko Haram group), are largely Christians, who comprise about 50% of the Nigerian population.

    http://www.persecution.org/category/countries/africa/nigeria/

    INBBC never refers to the Islamic jihad genocide of the Christian BIAFRANS by Islamic jihadists in the recent history of Nigeria, even though such important information is available, e.g.:

    “Fitzgerald: Remember Biafra!”

    [Extract]:

    “During the Biafra War of 1967-1969, which was triggered by a massacre by Muslims of Christians, the entire Western world stood by and allowed the Muslims of the North to slaughter the Christian, mainly Ibo, south. These Muslims were aided by outside Muslims, including Egyptian pilots who strafed and bombed Ibo villages, killing tens of thousands — without any opposition, anti-aircraft fire, anything.
    “The war was brought on by the Jihad against the Christian Ibo and other Christian peoples of southern Nigeria by the Hausa and Fulani Muslims of the north (Islam itself was spread most recently in the 1804 Jihad declared by Othman Dan Fodio), and by the desperate attempt of the Ibo (Igbo) people to free themselves from Muslim aggression. Tens of thousands of civilians were murdered — by the Egyptian pilots who repeatedly bombed and strafed them.
    Great Britain, France, the United States, all of Europe, did nothing to help the Christians.

    […]

    “Only two states recognized Biafra: Ghana and Israel.”

    more than a hint. It positively glows. The BBCoid jounro knows precisely what he is doing. While, as ever, providing a host of excuses for the murderous behaviour of these islamic psychos. I’m sorry to say, I hope the group he so positively endorses get their hands on him.

    Their back…and this time it is revenge!

    After their charismatic leader was murdered [cue picture of blood on the ground] radicals vowed to continue their armed stuggle against the police, who routinely round up innocent people, such as journalists and women and children [cue picture of mother and child), and hold them hostage.

    One reliable militant witness said that he knew for a fact that the police had taken away 50 young men and murdered them. Unlike the police we do not hurt civilians he said, but if you oppose the revolution, he said as I admired his big black gun, we will slaughter you.

    The official Nigerian position is that there is no religious conflict in Nigeria. The problems are tribal and economic. Andrew Walker probably interviewed an government official, discovered the official view fitted nicely with the BBC  ‘avoid reference to the Islamic nature of crimes wherever possible’ narrative and looked no further.

    You wouldn’t think it was written by a journalist from a democracy at war with these people.

    “Is it just me or is there a hint of admiration for the Islamic killing gangs?”

    Of course it’s not just you – plenty of your sychophantic hangers-on are bound to imagine the same thing, or at least pretend that they do – but it’s a pretty outrageous claim and you should be ashamed of yourself for making it.
