1. Bunch of dangerous morons--"Boko Haram" (western education is sinful/forbidden).

They have been making trouble for some time.

3. There are people of like mind in the West

who think education should be forbidden.

4. no

theres absolutely nothing like Boko Haram in the west or anywhere in the world. These idiots reject "western" technology and technology for that matter but use bombs and guns deviced throught western (chinese in case of gun powder). They are more backwards than the amish, more religious than the christian right and very dangerous for their numbers.

This is another problem with an armed conflict in Nigeria, a bombing that would normally kill 30-40 people will end up killing 2-3x as much because of the population density.

God help us all
