Borno State Muslims Do Not Learn As Six Die In Another Mosque Bombing

Another suicide bomber has detonated a bomb in a mosque located behind a magistrate court in Maiduguri, Borno state, Nigeria. The incident occurred this morning, killing six, with another 17 injured. The suicide bomber had two accomplices who fled when accosted by the civilian JTF who were suspicious of their movement around the vicinity of the mosque during the call for today's early morning prayers.
There had been two previous suicide mosque bombings this month, here and here, and I had warned that the muslims in Borno state either stepped up security, or stopped gathering for prayers altogether. The two potential suicide bombers who fled the scene of today's bombing do not make the security option attractive. I personally prefer the latter option, however absurd it may seem. There will be more mosque bombings, let there be no illusions about that. These terrorists are very determined, and prayers will not stop them. If the muslims in Borno state want to pray, let them do so at home and stop being cannon fodder in Boko Haram's senseless campaign.

It should be obvious that the prayers are not working, and my suggestion is this: instead of gathering five times a day to pray, let them utilize the prayer time more productively in coming up with a permanent solution to this protracted problem. They could either do this, or continue life as sitting ducks.
