From Wiki but I think accurate:

Ideology

Boko Haram was founded as an indigenous Salafist group, turning itself into a Salafist Jihadist group in 2009.[7] It proposes that interaction with the Western World is forbidden, and also supports opposition to the Muslim establishment and the government of Nigeria.[24] The group publicly extols its ideology despite the fact that its founder and former leader Muhammad Yusuf was himself a highly educated man who lived a lavish life and drove a Mercedes Benz.[19]

The members of the group do not interact with the local Muslim population[25] and have carried out assassinations in the past of any one who criticizes it, including Muslim clerics.[23]


I am not getting into a religious debate but those worried about Mormons might find a better use for their time in fighting these atrocities.

Even "regular" muslims object to this "religion". IMHO.

Muhammad Yusuf was himself a highly educated man who lived a lavish life and drove a Mercedes Benz............................................. That’s like the reports I got from Iranians complaining about their imported mullahs that were brought in by Khomeini to lead Iran after 1979. Agrrrrrrr. Its Africa with all it’s clans and tribes, the dark continent continues to remain stuck in time with all it’s strife.

Mormons. Muslims. Pagan. Devil worshippers. All the same.

Thanks for the info. But whenever any man presumes superior authority over the Bible, including formally or effectively claiming to be the uniquely infallible interpreters of it, then the souls as well as the bodies of men are in danger. And Mormonism is no different.
