Politics, religion, deaths and Boko Haram
What started as a harmless movement by a religious sect in some parts of Northern Nigeria gradually snowballed into one of the worst terrorist uprisings that the nation has witnessed.
In 2002, a group which called itself “People Committed to the Propagation of the Prophet’s Teachings and Jihad”, which is the English translation of Jama’atu Ahlis Sunna Lidda’awati wal-Jihad was formed by one Mohammed Yussuf, a young man from Yobe state who believed that he was a holy prophet.
The sect which was formed in Maiduguri, propagates their ideology that says that western civilization is sin. This belief gradually earned the group the name “Boko Haram” which in Hausa translates to “Boko” which means “Western Education” and “Haram” which means “sin”.
Originally, it seemed that the group, now named Boko Haram started as a peaceful sect that propagated the gospel of Islam and the establishment of Sharia law under the leadership of the former governor of Borno State, Amodu Sheriff. In furtherance of the ideologies it propagated, the leader of the group, Yussuf Mohamed established a building that housed a mosque and an Islamic school where many children and youths within the north and neighbouring countries like Chad and Niger attended and were indoctrinated on the controversial doctrines of the sect.

-jackie820Islam is an ideology of oppressors and victims. Non-Muslims must convert, be oppressed or die. Like a street gang, once you are a Muslim, they will kill you if you desert. Shariah law is coming to a court room near you. Under it women suffer severe discrimination. They have no claim on their children in a divorce, they can be divorced by their husband in less than a minute at any time, their testimony in court is worth half of a male Muslim and their inheritance can only be half of their male sibling. There is much more, but you get the drift.
Take away oil revenue and the combined GDP of Muslim countries equals Finland's. Islam doesn't make for a good economic system. It isn't a good choice in any regard.

-AlexAfrica is a MESS! The murderous doings of Joseph Kony have recently been highlighted in a video that tens of millions have now seen Kono is leader of the so-called "Lord's Resistance Army", which is staffed with CHILDREN kidnapped to become soldiers in Kono's barbaric battalions. A few weeks ago, the miserably misinformed Rush Limbaugh came to the DEFENSE of these barbarians. Here are his exact words:
Title on official Limbaugh EIB web page: "Obama Invades Uganda, Targets Christians"
Limbaugh's ignorant rant:
"So nothing to worry about here, folks, only gonna be for a few months. Now, up until today, most Americans have never heard of the combat Lord's Resistance Army. And here we are at war with them. Have you ever heard of Lord's Resistance
Army, Dawn? How about you, Brian? Snerdley, have you? You never heard of Lord's Resistance Army? Well, proves my contention, most Americans have never heard of it, and here we are at war with them. Lord's Resistance Army are Christians. It means God. I was only kidding. Lord's Resistance Army are Christians. They are fighting the Muslims in Sudan. And Obama has sent troops, United States troops to remove them from the battlefield, which means kill them. That's what the lingo means, "to help regional forces remove from the battlefield," meaning capture or kill."
So that's a new war, a hundred troops to wipe out Christians in Sudan, Uganda…."
What an egregiously misinformed load of blundering, babbling nonsense Limbaugh was spouting. And undoubtedly he discarded any need for fact-checking in his opportunistic haste to once more condemn the President of the United States and Commander in Chief of Her Armed forces.
Limbaugh is a fool! A highy paid fool, but a fool nonetheless.
