Are Boko Haram Just Psychotic Male Chauvanist Pigs
I’ve just watched John Simpson’s report from north eastern Nigeria on the BBC.
I’m left with the thoughts that led me to write this post.
I’ve read extensively about Islam and can’t see how any of Boko Haram’s actions have anything to do with the religion.
In fact, in the early days of Islam, women were equal and over the centuries education has been a large part of the religion. In fact, but for early Islamic scholars and thinkers, we wouldn’t have the mathematics we have today.
Boko Haram are just thugs and should feel the full force of all right-thinking people in Nigeria and the wider world.

Most people will agree with you – but in the meantime I dread to think what is happening to the those children

I feel the same about the children!
But having met many people, who as children went through horrific things in the Second World War, once they are rescued many will turn out better than we expect. Some will probably go on to be amazing success stories.

Yes, as with far right militants from all religions and cultures, these men in Boka Haram have lost sight of the teaching of both Qur’an, the Injeel and other Biblical scriptures which they accept, such as OT and Psalms.
