Boko Haram and the Islamic State West Africa Province are connected and aren't enemies, however they are not the same organization. Since 2016, thousands of Boko Haram members decided to be loyal to the Islamic State and formed their own organization, the ISWAP. Thousands more militants remained loyal only to Abubakar Shekau, the Boko Haram's leader.
I think that they should be separated with two articles, as several recent attacks carried out by the Islamic State are reported as executed by Boko Haram militants. Gianluigi02 (talk) 13:26, 29 November 2020 (UTC)
Currently, the article is confusing and misleading to the reader as there are two groups mentioned.
Based on this comment, I am proposing to split split the article in two:
Boko Haram, led by Abu Bakr Shekau, and the Islamic State West Africa Province (Wilayat Garb Ifriqiyah), which is part of the Islamic State. Both split in August 2016.
Jihad isn't terror, terror isn't jihad. There is no killing civilians in the definition of jihad. It'd be more approprate if we eject "Jihadist" word. İsmail Kendir (talk) 12:49, 4 April 2021 (UTC)
Once again you repeat the same mistake you're making across the board here on Misplaced Pages: you argue that your opinion should take precedence over sources. You've been told by multiple users already that that is not how Misplaced Pages works, and you've been warned by multiple users that your behaviour is disruptive. Jeppiz (talk) 13:07, 4 April 2021 (UTC)
This ain't my opinion. Jihad isn't terror, jihad is an Arabic word which literally means striving or struggling, especially with a praiseworthy aim. In an Islamic context, it can refer to almost any effort to make personal and social life conform with Allah's guidance, such as struggle against one's evil inclinations, proselytizing, or efforts toward the moral betterment of the ummah, though it is most frequently associated with war. In Islamic law, the term refers to armed struggle against unbelievers, scholars equate military jihad with defensive warfare. There is no targeting of civilians anywhere in this definition. Since I gave seven cites at this message; you probably understood neither Boko Haram, nor ISIS, nor any other terrorist does not jihading
