Well, someone has to say it: just stop killing for God's sake.
The Pope of course is even more clueless: He said get rid of all weapons and voila, no more war.
Yes, that will stop the crazies.
There was a terrible suicide bombing of Mosque in Nigeria, probably by the Bokos, show that they hate everyone: but was this a "liberal" Sunni mosque or a Shiite one? and Iran is sending in people to train them in terrorism, so this will get complicated:
Nigeria could well become the next nexus of the ancient Sunni/Shiite wars between Saud and Iran a war that has been going on since the Prophet died and his child wife pulled a fast one to grab power from his designated heir, the husband of Fatima, and a war that has flared up kn recent years and caused thousands of deaths in Syria, Kurdistan, and Yemen.
Of course, the fight actually predates Islam, back to the days of the Persian empire, so don't blame religion.

Baby Alfie's legal team is facing investigation.
Someone found a technical problem with their credentials: Can't have that, can we.
How does that saying by that sardonic Jewish carpenter go? Strain a gnat, swallow a camel.
Probably I shouldn't put this with terrorism news, but it does show the way the west is going. The Alfie case was a working class white couple in the UK: The Jathi case was a black girl. And the Marcias case was a Hispanic man.
can you say "Tuskeegee" chidren?
Indeed, not a day passes without the NYT or BBC posting pro euthanasia stories. Sort of like the "13 year old raped girl with a deformed child" stories that we read to persuade us to legalize abortion back in the 1960s.

getreligion marks a CSM article on how conservatives and Christians are founding their own schools where they can study without being harassed or brainwashed.
yes, that's why bishops in the 19th century founded the Catholic school system: because of bible reading and anti Catholic prejudice.
But it won't stop the SJW: They are trying to shut up traditional Catholic professors at Steubenville, using the "seamless garment" argument that was invented by Bernadin and now being pushed by the Pope to shut up people who take murdering the unborn and elderly more serious than caring for mother Gaia or caring for "migrants", as if you can't do both.
Speaking of Mother gaia: We had another priest killed here. His crime? objecting to mining companies who steal land from local tribesmen and destroy the environment in that area.
That is not Duterte: this is how you got Duterte:
these killings have been going on for years, as have the killings by politicians' private armies against their opponants.
But the Catholics will get more upset about the deportation of an Australian nun who dabbled in local politics.
Her deportation is actually an example of "killing a chicken to warn the monkey", as the Chinese saying goes.
Duterte is sending a warning to all those foreign SJW who will cherry pick "atrocities" in the drug war to remove him. (Duterte is convinced the CIA is trying to get rid of him, so he is sending a message to foreign agitators).
Rappler said the nun was investigating "abuses" of farmers by the military fighting the terrorists in the south, not the drug war.
background here. Article is about the war against the NPA, under the previous president.
The nun said she apparently angered the president by joining a fact-finding mission in April to investigate alleged abuses against farmers, including killings and evictions by soldiers fighting guerrillas in the southern Philippines.
Only complaining about atrocities by the government, of course. And blaming the federal gov't for atrocities by local "militias" in a land where every big politician has his own private army.
Ironically, Duterte has been called a "communist" because he had backed the NPA and had tried to make nice with them, but the hardcore are still there doing their thing.
