"Boko Haram"
I had heard that Boko Haram meant western education is sin.
Which even according to western religions like Christianity, much of what is taught in public school defies Biblical scripture and moral standards.
Even human origins teachings are an act of deception. Essentially young people are taught that they are nothing more than evolved monkeys. But does this defy Divine will? I don't know. Maybe this is tolerated and encouraged by the Divine to get people to experience life. Make a few mistakes and then slowly develop an awareness over time of a Divine presence and another way of life that doesn't include reckless sex and drugs. Maturing with time rather than instantaneously.
"Boko Haram" (meaning "the book is forbidden") is an anti-Westernization and anti-modernization paramilitary group that attacks the Muslim establishment and everyone else.

It's mainly the poor, uneducated
Praise for TH E LOOMING TOWER
"What a riveting tale Lawrence Wright fashions in this marvelous
book. The Looming Tower is not just a detailed, heart-stopping
account of the events leading up to 9/11, written with style and
verve.
[It's] a thoughtful examination of the world that produced
the men who brought us 9/11, and of their progeny who bedevil
us today . . .
Wright has unearthed an astonishing amount of
detail about Osama bin Laden, Ayman al-Zawahiri. .. and all the
rest of them. They come alive . . .
The portrait of John O'Neill,
the driven, demon-ridden F.B.I, agent who worked so frantically
to stop Osama bin Laden, only to perish in the attack on the
World Trade Center, is worth the price of the book alone. The
Looming-Tower is, a thriller. And it's a tragedy, too."

An offering.

One world religion?
In a world that boasts a billion plus christians of various sorts. A world that has just as many muslims of various sorts.
Several hundred million hindus, actually that's probably approaching a billion, too. Million of jews of varying sorts.
Then of course you have many folks like myself who, while believers, don't belong to any dogmatic faith, and there are many millions of us.
One world religion? No time soon. In fact, I'll be so bold as to say never.
A thinly disguised anti-Muslim rant...not real imaginative.

It's getting close to the start of Ramadan, so I've been intentionally ignoring negativity and needless "drama"
