Re: USA Africa Dialogue Series - Fwd: Muhammadu Buhari, Nigeria's Boko Haram President Elect

When Boko Haram attempted to kill him in Kaduna? Reminds me of how Martin Luther King Jr. was called "Nigger" by some whites because they did not like what he was saying and doing..

The real problem of humanity is not differences of skin color or ethnicity. It is something deeply human. There can be differences of opinion but that does not warrant anyone making baseless claims. It is not healthy for any group or society.

One can get a better understanding of Boko Haram and those types of movements by reading the book: "Global Rebellion: Religious Challenges to the Secular State, From Christian Militias to Al Qaeda" by Juergensmeyer. We should look beyond appearances to a deeper underlying reality.
