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.

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.

“Boko Haram means “Books Forbidden”.”

Well, maybe not.
