Al Jazeera Video: Did Nigerian Forces Execute ‘Unarmed Civilians?’

AP: An international news channel is showing chilling footage of men in uniforms shooting unarmed men after they purportedly were arrested during clashes last year with Muslim militants in northern Nigeria.

The video of the men being forced to lie down then being shot is staged. There is not a single body movement in any of the bodies before or as they are shot, only the movement caused by the force of the bullet hitting the body. They were already dead.

It’s pretty clear that they were alive when they were forced to lie down, but they were dead when shot in this video. Why would anyone (al Jezerra?) stage this sort of video? Islamic radicals are known to murder innocents then try to frame the govt or any other opposing forces.

Muslims are such a peaceful people. Clearly, this is some plot to make them look bad.

It is obvious Obama hates black people otherwise he would do something to help these folks.

Pretty difficult to write a comment after watching that.

This is very horrible stuff to witness, and surely a reflection of how much darkness there is in the world, and the ugliness of war; even in times when it may be necessary.

That being said, this still is only one side of a very ugly and complicated story, no doubt.

May God someday, bring us peace in the world!

Reality sucks. Wonder when we’ll ever get footage of the Taliban and Al-Qaeda atrocities?

I suppose we’ll have to ask Dan Pearl what the other side does.

Sorry, that was insulting to dogs. Even dogs know better than this.

Unarmed does not mean innocent. Saddam Hussein was unarmed when he met his maker too. I don’t condone this, but I don’t cry over people who don’t cry over me.

The intolerant Obamunists are very jealous!

They can’t wait to practice this sort of control over dissidents inside the USA.

Except for giving a few Muslim surnames of some of the victims, Al Jazeera didn’t mention once that this is a Muslim group trying to overthrow the Nigerian government. In fact, I don’t think they used the word Muslim even one time. It is incredibly brutal and disturbing to watch, but this one sided video by Al Jazeera was done for world sympathy for a Muslim insurrection guilty of the same tactics. If only Al Jazeera had enough integrity to produce the same disturbing video of what is happening to the Coptic Christians in Egypt, not to mention the other genocidal acts committed by Muslims against other religious groups around the world.

Mojo – Saddam got a trial.

Good thing they told us about this – I was planning on a vacation to Nigeria but now I’m thinking Haiti might be a better place.

DTOM!

Just picture a Caliphate having American children and women and unarmed men laying down in the streets of NY being shot like this. this is their ultimate goal, SUBMIT OR BE KILLED – thats what these animals believe in with religious fervor. Yet our president would have us treat our constitution as an American suicide pact. These people are no different than the enemy combatants we catch in the battlefield of Afghanistan or Iraq, and they should be treated as such. Caught, Interrogated, Tried in Military court, then publicly hanged after we have gotten every piece of intel out of them.

They were already dead.

Whew, I was afraid they were shot to death!

Glad they died of natural causes before they were shot, aren’t you?

Thanks for pointing that out Geoff!

Obama….are you really as ignorant as you seem to be? Actually, you are probably stupid as well. Thanks for pointing that out.

And yet black people say america is a bad country.

Robert   February 10th, 2010 - 4:20 pm

I’m not 100% certain of the validity of this piece other than persons unknown were executed. At the very least, it looks like the Nigerians took a play out of the playbook written by the Islamic extremists who want to take over Nigeria. The only exception being, the Islamic extremists are far more brutal in their executions. One thing is certain, the Nigerians are not bound by the “play fair” rules that most of Islam’s victims are.

Jack Wood   February 10th, 2010 - 5:28 pm

What’s the other half of the story on why they were shot? Maybe they deserved it.

Rexter   February 10th, 2010 - 5:28 pm

No different that US policy. All they have to do is label them “enemy combatants” or “known terrorists.”

That is exactly what they did Rexter, except when you are a Muslim extremist trying to overthrow the Nigerian govt they shoot you in the street. In the U.S. they build you a nice compound and feed you three square meals a day until you GAIN weight and give you free medical and dental care and access to United Nations relief workers and a soccer field. You also can spit on guards and throw feces and not be killed. Maybe the U.S. should follow Nigeria’s example, it sure would cost taxpayers less. Kind of funny, if your an enemy of the USA and get captured you end up better off than you’ve ever been in your entire life.

True Conspiracy   February 10th, 2010 - 10:19 pm

Don’t believe this at all. We have friends in the northern part of Nigeria right now. The Muslims there commit all kinds of atrocities, often at the blessing of the Islamic leadership and try to frame “Christians”. This last attack was a perfect example. The Muslims reported that there was Christian and Islamic fighting. This “fighting” started when Christians were in Churches on that Sunday. The armed Muslims attacked Churches, killing Christians, and setting fire to some of their Churches. The Muslims then reported to BBC that the violence was Christian and Muslim gangs fighting.

Muslims are trying to destabilize the government so that Muslims in leadership in the Army will take control of the government. President Umaru Yar’Adua, a Muslim, has remained in power even though he was totally medically incapacitated and out of the country. Power was finally turned over today. The acting President Goodluck Jonathan, is said to be a Christian. Don’t be surprised if there are more attempts to frame the government and Christians for violence against Muslims.
