Boko Haram means “Books Forbidden”.
They’re basically the same as Isis/Daesh.
You know, Moslems.

Aside from editions of their holy drivel, I wonder how many books are published in the caliphate each year. I bet not many.

Burning Christians and books, no one notices. If they burned a few fags, liberals and Hollyweird would go nuts.

Further proof that Islam and Nazism are tied at the hip.

Alexandria.
That’s a liberal, leftist and occultist meme about those evil close minded Christians.
To: NRx
Every time Islam took a city they did that beginning with the library in Alexandria.

I mean it’s not like muslims can read.
These “people” are just plain stupid. What do they think that accomplishes?

Nothing paralyzes Islam with fear more than freedom of thought. Muslims are book phobic, whatever that is called.

What a tragic development for thousands of ISIS doctors!
They were on the verge of finding cures for cancer, diabetes, heart disease, ALS, and other maladies. :-(
In all seriousness...this is a very unfortunate development.
ISIS maniacs may disagree with the books, yet one would think they would wish to keep them for historical significance.

At what point does Obama and his Islamic American ideals take over and the Library of Congress is burned?

Now now the Islamist apologists insist that the muslims didn’t really destroy the library at Alexandria...

Boko is a tricky word. It refers to books in the general sense of collected knowledge. More specifically collected western knowledge of science, culture, government, and art.
Not just books are forbidden. Any knowledge that “corrupts” Islam.
If that knowledge is in your head... goodbye head.

The archives of FR and other opposition sites must be purged. They did not contain enough 'equal time' airing of liberal views and 'facts'.
