Boko Haram To Pledge Allegiance To ISIS

Post by joe817 »

" (CNN)Boko Haram, the Nigeria-based Islamist terror group, has pledged allegiance to ISIS, according to an audio message purported to be from Boko Haram's leader, Abubakar Shekau. In the audio, which was posted online Saturday, the speaker says Boko Haram is announcing its "allegiance to the Caliph of the Muslims, Ibrahim ibn Awad ibn Ibrahim al-Husseini al-Qurashi," which is another name for ISIS leader Abu Bakr."

There was/is and active topic on this forum on what can be done about it. Many said elimination is not possible, and the best that can be achieved Is containment. But containment even possible? IDK, but my gut tells me no. ISIS will pop up in any country that harbor extremists, and those are a lot of countries....spanning the globe.

Terrorism could be all but eliminated but this country doesn’t have the courage to do what is necessary.
God Bless America, and please hurry.
