“Is Nigeria the Next Somalia?”
SNIPPET: “Apparently they’ve been around since 2004. This weekend’s attacks were apparently in response to the arrest of several bombmakers last week.”
SNIPPET: “I hope somebody is watching this.”

The Taliban got the martyrdom sought.
They should rename the Police Department, the satisfaction fulfillment department.
You are today’s MARKETING STRATEGERIST WINNER, Lonesome in Massachussets.
“They should rename the Police Department, the satisfaction fulfillment department.”
Make that”
“They should rename the Police Department, the wish fulfillment department.”
Satisfaction in the afterlife is most assuredly not going to happen.

“Islamist violence grips northern Nigeria”
By GEORGE GORMANJuly 28, 2009 11:08 AM
SNIPPET: “A Fundamentalist Doctrine
Boko Haram, which translates to “education is prohibited,” is also known by its Arabic name, Al Sunna Wal Jamma, or the “Followers of Mohammad’s Teachings.” The group was founded in 2004 in Kanamma village in northern Yobe State, which borders Niger. Many members of Boko Haram are disgruntled youth, many whom are former university student dropouts and disillusioned graduates.
The group conducted similar, but less bloody, assaults on police stations during New Year’s Day 2003. The group’s silence has helped keep them out of the sights of local authorities for the last few years, allowing them to expand as poverty and lack of economic development has frustrated the youth in northern Nigeria.
Even though sharia law has been enforced more strictly in the 12 predominantly Muslim states of northern Nigeria since 2000, Boko Haram demands a “full Sharia” adoption of Islamic Law in the 12 states of northern Nigeria. The group seeks a ban throughout Nigeria on Western education, culture, and science that the group deems sinful; and, contrary to its name, the group aims to provide Islamic schooling as the only form of education to the public.
Abdullah, a member of Boko Haram, told Reuters that the group intends to “clean the (Nigerian) system which is polluted by western education and uphold the Sharia all over the country.””

Deeper Life Church, Evangelical Mission, and Church of the Brethren are three of five other churches set ablaze by Islamists in Maiduguri. In the city of Potiskum, Islamists attacked First Baptist Church and Church of the Brethren. They also burned the musical instruments and sound systems of the churches before police came and chased them away.
Violence erupted on July 26 when police arrested leaders of Boko Haram. In retaliation, members of the group attacked a police station in the city of Bauchi...

Nigeria's 140 million people are roughly divided between Christians in the south and northern-based Muslims. Shariah was implemented in 12 northern states after Nigeria returned to civilian rule in 1999 following years of oppressive military regimes. More than 10,000 Nigerians have died in sectarian violence since then.The Christians are the more educated and productive segment of the population.
Yes, it is related.

Earlier in the day Nigerian security forces captured the leader of a radical Islamic sect responsible for days of clashes which have killed more than 180 people.”

He ordered the security forces to take all necessary action to “contain them once and for all.””
