A number of Leading Ulama-e-Deen (Islamic Religious Scholars) in Nigeria & West Africa have criticised Boko Haram for not only resorting to violence but also for its bigotry and dogmatism.Its attempts to coerce Christians to embrace Islam and to force what are perceived as secular schools to close down have earned the ire of a lot of the Ulema and Muslims who constitute half of Nigeria’s total population... From its criminal activities its obvious that the movement isnt just about a distorted,perverted interpretation of Religion.Boko Haram is essentially about the pursuit for power.Like many other groups,both Muslim and Non-Muslim in various parts of the world,it has consciously chosen to manipulate Religious emotions... However, if Boko Haram continues to command a constituency,its partly because of the Larger situation prevailing in the country. Nigeria is one of the most unequal societies in the world with an ever-widening gap between the rich and the poor.There is also massive corruption at all levels of society.Every second hacker in the World hails from Nigeria and even Drug/Cocaine Dealer,atleast what I have seen in Bombay,New Delhi... A weak delivery system has increased the burden of the people,on the people.All this has fuelled anger and disillusionment with the State.As a movement fighting the State,Boko Haram has been able to tap into some of that frustration. Such tanzeems (movements/organisations) are a blot on Humanity and not just Islam...
