RE: Jihad Watch: Boko Haram Kills Aid Worker, Says Christian Girl to be Slave
Boko - not Book
As for their motivation being islamic, I find myself doubting it. Africa has always had this kind of terrorism, always with some excuse that they are fighting for democracy or freedom or ...now, religion. It is a power game to them, that is all.
Am intrigued you find the motivation to be racial, rather than Ideological.
I give it to you that African nations have had a history of violence, but so has the religion.
Nigerian's did not bomb themselves over anything before the advent of Boko Haram, now it is almost a regular thing in the far North. Believe me when I say that no amount of Ethno-racial conflict could have caused that other than an in grained ideology.
Don't forget that it happens elsewhere outside African and even the Western nations
It never crossed my mind to blame race, so I do not know where you found it.
I was blaming this on hard people who use religion and politics to grab power - and if they have to concentrate on killing children and women, it makes no difference to them. I referred to the fact that over the last 50 years, most of the guerilla groups in Africa were not fighting for the people, they only told the white people it is so, knowing we are stupid and fall for that kind of BS and will provide them with weapons and money - so that they can replace the dictatorship they were fighting with a new dictatorship
