Residents gave it the name because of its strong opposition to Western Education, which it sees as corrupting Muslim.
The term ''Boko Haram'' comes from Hausa word ''boko'' meaning ''Animist, western or otherwise non-Islamic Education'' and the Arabic word ''haram'' figuratively meaning ''sin''.
Boko haram opposes not only western Education but western culture and modern sciences as well.
The group also forbids the wearing of shirts and pants and the act of voting in elections.
In its view the Nigerrians state is run by non-believers!!
My take: Is it possible For Boko Haram to accomplish their goals????
