HOW MANY OF THE TERRORIST GROUP YOU KNOW QUOTE FROM THE SO CALLED VERSES IN THE BIBLE? BUT THEY HAVE GOT THEIR BOOK AND THEY QUOTE FREELY FROM IT WHILE KILLING UNBELIEVERS .......SURA 9:29 SEE YOUTUBE FOR THE VIDEOS AND HOW THEY QUOTE IT SHOUTING ALLAHU AKBAR
1. Wisconsin Sikh Temple massacre, Aug. 5, 2012. The virulent, neocon- fueled Islamophobia that has plagued post-9/11 America has not only posed a threat to Muslims, it has had deadly consequences for people of other faiths, including Sikhs. Sikhs are not Muslims; the traditional Sikh attire, including their turbans, is different from traditional Sunni, Shiite or Sufi attire. But to a racist, a bearded Sikh looks like a Muslim. Only four days after 9/11, Balbir Singh Sodhi, a Sikh immigrant from India who owned a gas station in Mesa, Arizona, was murdered by Frank Silva Roque, a racist who obviously mistook him for a Muslim. But Sodhi’s murder was not the last example of anti-Sikh violence in post-9/11 America. On Aug. 5, 2012, white supremacist Wade Michael Page used a semiautomatic weapon to murder six people during an attack on a Sikh temple in Oak Creek, Wisconsin. Page’s connection to the white supremacist movement was well- documented: he had been a member of the neo-Nazi rock bands End Empathy and Definite Hate. Attorney General Eric Holder described the attack as “an act of terrorism, an act of hatred.” It was good to see the nation’s top cop acknowledge that terrorist acts can, in fact, involve white males murdering people of color. 2. The murder of Dr. George Tiller, May 31, 2009. Imagine that a physician had been the victim of an attempted assassination by an Islamic jihadist in 1993, and received numerous death threats from al-Qaeda after that, before being murdered by an al-Qaeda member. Neocons, Fox News and the Christian Right would have had a field day. A physician was the victim of a terrorist killing that day, but neither the terrorist nor the people who inflamed the terrorist were Muslims. Dr. George Tiller, who was shot and killed by anti-abortion terrorist Scott Roeder on May 31, 2009, was a victim of Christian Right terrorism, not al-Qaeda. Tiller had a long history of being targeted for violence by Christian Right terrorists. In 1986, his clinic was firebombed. Then, in 1993, Tiller was shot five times by female Christian Right terrorist Shelly Shannon (now serving time in a federal prison) but survived that attack. Given that Tiller had been the victim of an attempted murder and received countless death threats after that, Fox News would have done well to avoid fanning the flames of unrest. Instead, Bill O’Reilly repeatedly referred to him as “Tiller the baby killer." When Roeder murdered Tiller, O’Reilly condemned the attack but did so in a way that was lukewarm at best. Keith Olbermann called O’Reilly out and denounced him as a “facilitator for domestic terrorism” and a “blindly irresponsible man.” And Crazy for Godauthor Frank Schaffer, who was formerly a figure on the Christian Right but has since become critical of that movement, asserted that the Christian Right’s extreme anti-abortion rhetoric “helped create the climate that made this murder likely to happen.” Neocon Ann Coulter, meanwhile, viewed Tiller’s murder as a source of comic relief, telling O’Reilly, “I don't really like to think of it as a murder. It was terminating Tiller in the 203rd trimester.” The Republican/neocon double standard when it comes to terrorism is obvious. At Fox News and AM neocon talk radio, Islamic terrorism is a source of nonstop fear- mongering, while Christian Right terrorism gets a pass. 3. Tennessee Valley Unitarian Universalist Church shooting, July 27, 2008. On July 27, 2008, Christian Right sympathizer Jim David Adkisson walked into the Tennessee Valley Unitarian Universalist Church in Knoxville, Tennessee during a children’s play and began shooting people at random. Two were killed, while seven others were injured but survived. Adkisson said he was motivated by a hatred of liberals, Democrats and gays, and he considered neocon Bernard Goldberg’s book, 100 People Who Are Screwing Up America, his political manifesto. Adkisson (who pleaded guilty to two counts of first-degree murder and is now serving life in prison without parole) was vehemently anti-abortion, but apparently committing an act of terrorism during a children’s play was good ol’ Republican family values. While Adkisson’s act of terrorism was reported on Fox News, it didn't get the round-the-clock coverage an act of Islamic terrorism would have garnered. 4. The murder of Dr. John Britton, July 29, 1994. To hear the Christian Right tell it, there is no such thing as Christian terrorism. Tell that to the victims of the Army of God, a loose network of radical Christianists with a long history of terrorist attacks on abortion providers. One Christian Right terrorist with ties to the Army of God was Paul Jennings Hill, who was executed by lethal injection on Sept. 3, 2003 for the murders of abortion doctor John Britton and his bodyguard James Barrett. Hill shot both of them in cold blood and expressed no remorse whatsoever; he insisted he was doing’s God’s work and has been exalted as a martyr by the Army of God. 5. The Centennial Olympic Park bombing, July 27, 1996. Paul Jennings Hill is hardly the only Christian terrorist who has been praised by the Army of God; that organization has also praised Eric Rudolph, who is serving life without parole for a long list of terrorist attacks committed in the name of Christianity. Rudolph is best known for carrying out the Olympic Park bombing in Atlanta during the 1996 Summer Olympics—a blast that killed spectator Alice Hawthorne and wounded 111 others. Hawthorne wasn’t the only person Rudolph murdered: his bombing of an abortion clinic in Birmingham, Alabama in 1998 caused the death of Robert Sanderson (a Birmingham police officer and part- time security guard) and caused nurse Emily Lyons to lose an eye. Rudolph’s other acts of Christian terrorism include bombing the Otherwise Lounge (a lesbian bar in Atlanta) in 1997 and an abortion clinic in an Atlanta suburb in 1997. Rudolph was no lone wolf: he was part of a terrorist movement that encouraged his violence. And the Army of God continues to exalt Rudolph as a brave Christian who is doing God’s work. 6. The murder of Barnett Slepian byJames Charles Kopp, Oct. 23, 1998. Like Paul Jennings Hill, Eric Rudolph and Scott Roeder, James Charles Kopp is a radical Christian terrorist who has been exalted as a hero by the Army of God. On Oct. 23, 1998 Kopp fired a single shot into the Amherst, NY home of Barnett Slepian (a doctor who performed abortions), mortally wounding him. Slepian died an hour later. Kopp later claimed he only meant to wound Slepian, not kill him. But Judge Michael D'Amico of Erin County, NY said that the killing was clearly premeditated and sentenced Kopp to 25 years to life. Kopp is a suspect in other anti-abortion terrorist attacks, including the non-fatal shootings of three doctors in Canada, though it appears unlikely that Kopp will be extradited to Canada to face any charges. 7. Planned Parenthood bombing, Brookline, Massachusetts, 1994. Seldom has the term “Christian terrorist” been used in connection with John C. Salvi on AM talk radio or at Fox News, but it’s a term that easily applies to him. In 1994, the radical anti-abortionist and Army of God member attacked a Planned Parenthood clinic in Brookline, Massachusetts, shooting and killing receptionists Shannon Lowney and Lee Ann Nichols and wounding several others. Salvi was found dead in his prison cell in 1996, and his death was ruled a suicide. The Army of God has exalted Salvi as a Christian martyr and described Lowney and Nichols not as victims of domestic terrorism, but as infidels who got what they deserved. The Rev. Donald Spitz, a Christianist and Army of God supporter who is so extreme that even the radical anti-abortion group Operation Rescue disassociated itself from him, has praised Salvi as well. 8. Suicide attack on IRS building in Austin, Texas, Feb. 18, 2010. When Joseph Stack flew a plane into the Echelon office complex (where an IRS office was located), Fox News’ coverage of the incident was calm and matter-of-fact. Republican Rep. Steve King of Iowa seemed to find the attack amusing and joked that it could have been avoided if the federal government had followed his advice and abolished the IRS. Nonetheless, there were two fatalities: Stack and IRS employee Vernon Hunter. Stack left behind a rambling suicide note outlining his reasons for the attack, which included a disdain for the IRS as well as total disgust with health insurance companies and bank bailouts. Some of the most insightful coverage of the incident came from Noam Chomsky, who said that while Stack had some legitimate grievances —millions of Americans shared his outrage over bank bailouts and the practices of health insurance companies—the way he expressed them was absolutely wrong. 9. The murder of Alan Berg, June 18, 1984. One of the most absurd claims some Republicans have made about white supremacists is that they are liberals and progressives. That claim is especially ludicrous in light of the terrorist killing of liberal Denver-based talk show host Alan Berg, a critic of white supremacists who was killed with an automatic weapon on June 18, 1984. The killing was linked to members of the Order, a white supremacist group that had marked Berg for death. Order members David Lane (a former Ku Klux Klan member who had also been active in the Aryan Nations) and Bruce Pierce were both convicted in federal court on charges of racketeering, conspiracy and violating Berg’s civil rights and given what amounted to life sentences. Robert Matthews, who founded the Order, got that name from a fictional group in white supremacist William Luther Pierce’s anti-Semitic 1978 novel, The Turner Diaries—a book Timothy McVeigh was quite fond of. The novel’s fictional account of the destruction of a government building has been described as the inspiration for the Oklahoma City bombing of 1995. 10. Timothy McVeigh and the Oklahoma City bombing, April 19, 1995. Neocons and Republicans grow angry and uncomfortable whenever Timothy McVeigh is cited as an example of a non-Islamic terrorist. Pointing out that a non-Muslim white male carried out an attack as vicious and deadly as the Oklahoma City bombing doesn’t fit into their narrative that only Muslims and people of color are capable of carrying out terrorist attacks. Neocons will claim that bringing up McVeigh’s name during a discussion of terrorism is a “red herring” that distracts us from fighting radical Islamists, but that downplays the cruel, destructive nature of the attack. Prior to the al-Qaeda attacks of 9/11, the Oklahoma City bombing McVeigh orchestrated was the most deadly terrorist attack in U.S. history: 168 people were killed and more than 600 were injured. When McVeigh used a rented truck filled with explosives to blow up the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building, his goal was to kill as many people as possible. McVeigh was motivated by an extreme hatred for the U.S. government and saw the attack as revenge for the Ruby Ridge incident of 1992 and the Waco Siege in 1993. He had white supremacist leanings as well (when he was in the U.S. Army, McVeigh was reprimanded for wearing a “white power” T-shirt he had bought at a KKK demonstration). McVeigh was executed on June 11, 2001. He should have served life without parole instead, as a living reminder of the type of viciousness the extreme right is capable of.

Ifeajuna was from Anioma part of Onitsha, like wise Zik. They were all Anioma people that their Igbo ancestors once resided in ancient Bini.
Emmanuel Arinze Ifeajuna (1935– 25 September 1967)
An Igbo from Onitsha, he was a science graduate University College of Ibadan and became involved in politics, later joining the military. He
rose to the position of Major and
was a conspirator and participant in
the failed 1966 Nigerian coup d'état. He later returned to action in the Nigerian Civil War, fighting for Biafra, but was executed following a plot to agree a ceasefire with Nigeria and
overthrow Emeka Ojukwu.

The confusion starts from the lumping of the whole of Igboid Delta state as Anioma. Youre more likely to see someone from the Ika and Ukwuani axis deny being Igbo than say the Aniocha axis. For instance, the OP is most likely from Ika or Ukwuani. They are the ones who carry the whole Anioma not Igbo on their head.
here's the mistake most people make.
The Aniomas are united irrespective of their distinct languages.

The Olukumi Clan of Yoruba in Delta
State. The Olukumis are a branch of the Anioma ethnic group. Anioma people today exist in edo and delta state. Anioma people are a unique group of people with 12 different Languages comprises of Igboid, Edoiod and Yorubaiod. The Ika people in their native language know and acknowledge this; only early Europeans and visitors to the region failed to understand this because they were particularly not interested in studying the social aspects of the people but greedily centred their interest on trade. The Ugbodu speak Olukumi (extinct form of Yoruba language,) Igbo and Igara.
The Igara language is not typical to Ugbodu, else where in Evbu this language is also in use in addition to Igbo language. In Igbodo, Igbo and Ika is spoken by the people. Ika is a language similar to Bini. These languages strange to Igbo reflect in everydayusage in names of humans, articles, and chieftaincy titles shared with the Edos believed to be the ancestral home of many of these Anioma communities.
Although certain communities in this
region can lay claim to Igbo ancestry as supported by oral history, many of these group have their histories obviously not linking them with Igbo home as their place of origin. It is for this reason that those ignorant on Anioma history fail to understand that in Anioma more than 12 languages exists in this region alone.
The Agbor people who are of Ika ethnic group but agreed to join the union of Anioma with the rest of their neighbouring communities scattered around the region chiefly because all the towns and communities in this region have had a common history of relationship even many centuries before the arrival of the Europeans, and have shared common culture speak Ozzara and Ika. Ukunzu(Ikunzu), Ugbodu(Igbodu) and Uberubu(Iberubu) are three villages of Yoruba origin. They call themselves and their language Olukumi, which apparently was an earlier name in yoruba called my friend.
1 unique thing that distinct us from other tribe is that, they all understandnd the Enuani(anioma language)

CultureThe Aniomas of Delta State by mactoni91(op):
Who are the Anioma people of
Nigeria? This question assumes the
lack of knowledge of those about
whom it is asked. While the word
"ANIOMA" is acronym, the people and place so called have existed for centuries. Interestingly "Anioma"has been a community of people who, for ages inhabit the area between Ubulubu and Ebu in Aniocha North
Local Government Area of the present Delta State. One needs to look at the colonial map of the area, and there sits "Anioma" wedged between Ubulubu and Ebu.
The modern "Anioma" derives its name from the four geopolitical and cultural quadrants of Aniocha, Ndokwa, Ika and Oshimili. This coinage was made by no other than the founding father of "Anioma State Movement," the late Chief Dennis
Osadebay of blessed memory. A people are defined by their culture,
history and geography. More importantly, a people are defined by
how they perceive themselves. In
effect, a people are who they say they are. History notes that Anioma people comprise individuals of diverse origins, who over centuries and due to ''culture contact" or cultural cross-pollination, have developed a unique culture quite distinct from those of their immediate surrounding neighbors. Located at the crossroads of very diverse influences, Anioma has
developed a syncretic culture rich in
varied contributions. Anioma people inhabit areas west of the lower Niger River, in today's constituted Delta State. From the perspectives of Nigeria's geopolitical matrix, Anioma is squarely within the south-south zone. In today's political dispensation, Anioma is designated as Delta North Senatorial District. To the east, Anioma is bounded by Anambra State; to the southeast by lmo and Rivers States; to the south by Bayelsa State; to the southwest by lsoko ethnic group; to the west, by Urhobo ethnic group; to the northwest by Edo State and the north by Kogi State. There are very few Nigerian communities that are so contiguous to so many immediate neighbors as Anioma. In spite of these contiguities to so many states and ethnic groups, Anioma people are united by cultural homogeneity and value consensus about their universe of experience. In 1951, political awakening was brought to Anioma people following years of neglect. Honorable Chief Dennis Osadebay (Oshimili); Honorable F.H.Utomi (Aniocha); Honorable Obi of Akumazi (Ika); Honorable Frank Oputa Ututu (Ndokwa) and Honorable Oki (Ndokwa) jointly moved a motion in
the then Western House of Assembly
to seek "a separate province" for our people, who hitherto had been balkanized and merged with Benin and Warri provinces by the colonialists. This merger was neither
by referendum, choice nor by consent but by force. Even though Chief Obafemi Awolowo and his Action Group government had disallowed the creation of such a separate province,
the movement for that self-
determination has continued to this
day. The record will show that no
segment of the Nigerian society has
had a longer demand for state creation than Anioma. However, the
vagaries of politics have prevailed and
the demand for the creation of Anioma State has remained unfulfilled. The struggle continues. Confronted by the failure of successive
regimes to create Anioma State and by
the paradoxical dicta of human social
relations, Anioma people have
endeavored to create a community,
which sees itself as an organic whole dependent upon an integrated set of
relationships with unique and
distinguishable identity. Events of the
distant past and indeed, of the recent
past, namely, the Ekumuku wars,
Colonization, Christianization, Westernization and the Nigeria-Biafra
war, have conspired, as it were, to
shape the consciousness of Anioma
people. While not succumbing to
introversion, Anioma people have
seen remarkable distinctness in their behavior and overall worldview from
those of their immediate neighbors.
Anioma identity has become a
treasure that must be guarded and
defended because identity is a value
for which people in history are willing to make sacrifices. Wars have been
fought and are still being fought to
preserve the identity of people. People
refuse to be subsumed under
someone else's worldview. Anioma
people have for generations refused and indeed objected to the
transposition of other people's
interpretive categories on Anioma
culture. Our forbears in Anioma fought
the Ekumeku wars because they
refused to be dominated by outsiders. They fought against the attempts by
the Royal Niger Company and their
British collaborators to desecrate the
sanctity of their culture, appropriate
their God-given wealth and dominate
their trade and subjugate them. They fought against Benin expansionist
proclivity. In short, they fought and
defended their Anioma ethnic identity
with whatever power they could
muster. Ethnic identity exists because
individuals include among their
repertoire of social roles one or more
culturally defined uniqueness. The
conscious sense on the part of an
individual that he/she belongs to a given collectivity is the basic building
block of identity. Our Anioma ethnic
identity derives from our common set
of symbols and cognitions shared by
our people. Aniocha, Ndokwa, lka and
Oshimili, share the same cultural space and delimited physical geography.
They dress alike. They dance alike.
They use the same musical instruments. They speak the same or
similar languages. They show the
same deference to their elders and women. They respect character and
integrity. They are not exploitative.
Money is not everything, character is
everything. In short, they have the
same worldview. Our Anioma ethnic
identity is cultural self-definition and philosophical affirmation of our self-
determination as a people who see
themselves at the crossroads of the
contemporary Nigerian state. Anioma
provides for us the physical and
cultural space that define the necessary locus of our highest fulfillment as a people. Anioma does not seek to define its personality or identity simply as an antithesis of everything around it.
However, one point must be made
immutably clear to any questioner: no
Anioma person wishes to be recast in a mould that is not Anioma. We must
emphasize unequivocally, that only
Anioma can provide us an essential
part of our historical consciousness,
and also an index to the universal
psychic character of our identity. Only Anioma can communicate a sense of
history to us. Granted that legend,
folklore and history point to our
diverse origin, over time our forbears were able to create a culture that is
uniquely Anioma, hence no Aniocha person, Ndokwa person, Ika person
nor Oshimill person, sees one another
as strangers. Anioma people do not
need to look elsewhere for inspiration and identity. Anioma is not and can never be an extension of another group. This is why for several decades its people have attempted to rid themselves of their psychic frustrations of marginality and neglect by clamoring for the creation of Anioma State. There is a strong sense of community and commonality between and among our people.
There is shared neglect by the powers that be. There is shared suffering.
There is shared poverty. Who can
forget the torture and torments experienced by our people during the Nigeria-Biafra war? Our people still suffer from the haunting memories of that war. During that war, our people experienced macabre brutality delivered with breathless vapidity. Who can forget the Asaba massacre?
Who can forget the Isheagu massacre?
We shall not forget. Our children shall not forget. Nigeria must not forget.
