Again nothing to do with religion; it's simply an excuse (Boko Haram) to kill people. Let's not get sidetracked by these mad people claiming to represent part of religion (many of those they kill are Muslims). As in Paris it's not "freedom of speech" that needs protecting, or "freedom to worship". It's mad people killing and needing an excuse to justify their lunacy.

And ... yet again ... I am deafened by the silence from those who should be offering to help.

I suppose Nigeria is NOT on the route of the Yankers gas pipeline from Afghanistan to the Gulf, though, is it ?

These people commit these acts because they KNOW they have won.
They KNOW the west will tut tut but do nothing - thats the thing that emboldens them.

If they realised that a Noose was the ONLY thing that they would get - they would never do it.
