Also, Boko Haram is also spreading the ideals that it is blasphemy against Allah and Mohommad the Prophet that the Earth revolves around the Sun. The implication in the article that they are babbling idiots is unproven; we need better qualification of their goals, even if the name Boko Haram names Western Civilization and its teachings as sinful and against Allah, in their own language: no joke, even the worst pagan can be educated, clarify it.

POV much?

This article is in serious need of attention from an expert on the subject matter, especially considering what recently happened involving the group. The second paragraph cites only one source (the link of which is broken) despite its claims. Perhaps a current events tag is also in order? Xinophiliac (talk) 22:49, 28 July 2009 (UTC)

Tag added. I don't understand the POV concern - which statement are you concerned about? All news sources I've read seem to be pretty consistent, from CNN to Al Jazeera and This Day. AndrewRT(Talk) 23:30, 4 August 2009 (UTC)

Accuracy?

The BBC is reporting that Yusuf is still alive: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/africa/8180475.stm 17:59, 2 August 2009 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.2.74.214 (talk)

That report states that he was alive when arrested; has been killed since. Wiki editor 6 (talk) 02:29, 3 August 2009 (UTC)

Merge with 2009 Nigerian sectarian violence

I suggest that for now let's not merge. Apparently the organization has been around for a bunch of years, and other events related to them may come to light soon. It wouldn't make sense to place them in the 2009 Nigerian violence article. Beetle B. (talk) 23:55, 4 August 2009 (UTC)

I misread. If the goal is to merge bring the 2009 article into the Boko Haram one, then I'm fine with it. (Or rather, I'm fine if it stays as it is as well - no strong feelings about it). Beetle B. (talk) 14:06, 16 August 2009 (UTC)
