If you happen to watch the news or read the news papers this week chances are you heard about BOKO Haram. They are the group responsible for the kidnapping of children in Nigeria, burning buildings and killing / burning innocent people in that country.
Who are They?
Boko Haram Means Western Education is a sin.
Boko Haram is an Islamic militant and terrorist groups and organizations base in the northeast of Nigeria, North Cameron and Niger. It is founded by Mohammed Yusuf in 2002, the organization seek to establish a pure Islamic state ruled Sharia, putting a stop to what it deem as westernization. The group is known for attacking Christians and government targets, bombing churches, schools and police stations, and kidnapping western tourist, but also assassinated members of the Islamic establishment. Violence linked to the Boko Haram insurgency has resulted in an estimated 10,000 deaths between 2012 and 2013.
Today the continue to terrorize and making headlines, kidnapping women and children, killing people across Nigeria.Why are they doing this. I just don't understand the logic behind their cause. Why do they think that western education is a sin and then killing, kidnapping, raping women and children and even selling them for slave or as a wife is not a sin? What kind of human being are they? They don't want women to be educated.
Why are they so afraid of education and elevating human potential for a greater purpose? Are there ways making life better? This act should be stop now.
To me their ruthless and senseless act are even against to the God they worship. They are the misguided soul and uneducated mind. They are just brainwashed by the people who mislead them and use them. I hope the killing stops, the kidnapping stops and let there be peace. Let the 200 plus innocent children kidnapped be return home to their family safely.
