| Publisher Description: Boko Haram translates into Western education is forbidden, a clarion call that forbids Western values. It is the insurgency across northern Nigeria with political bombs in Islamic shells, establishing Islamic values by expunging Western ones. It likens this mysterious young vengeful quest to fight a perception of God's war, deny itself the fair chance to live according to values it holds dearly. Every one is potentially a writer because they make up some sort of story in their minds. Respective stories vary from factual to fictional. People tell it or write it, share it or not, but everyone wants to be heard making sense of their deductions of the life they observe and live, trade or share. The most idealistic writers are quite assertive and would want to have the last word. They rebel against other assertive ideals that conflict with theirs and seek to establish their values by force. The most aggression comes off the most conservative extremists. Boko Haram became the identity of the Nigerian variation of militant Islam, long after it had taken root the world over. Their campaign of terror is construed to be barbaric idiocy to all who aspire civility. As the sect marked their brand of insurgency across most of northern Nigeria with emerging political bombs in Islamic shells, they sought to establish Islamic values in the country by forcibly expunging Western values. Boko Haram translates into Western education is forbidden, but in practice the clarion call has always been Western values are forbidden. Deservedly or not, each individual feels they have earned a say and it is usually just enough to voice it. But these extremists must have their say at all costs. Since it is in the nature of people to have more of what they most desire, these extremists naturally do not stop at just having their say, they must also impose it, regardless that every single person must have their own say too. In his quest to fight his perception of God's war, a mysterious keeper of an elite community Mosque denies himself his own natural ability to live according to the values he holds dear. By embarking on crusades across humanity to end the excesses of cultures they abhors, Militants simultaneously deny their own values the opportunity to exhibit their laudable essence. In effect, they torture themselves without the decency of living even the simple sacred lives they deserve. |
