Re: Nigeria

The article throws up some interesting ideas.
The idea that the education of women in a westernised education system is to add to governmental corruption.....it is a different perspective I suppose.

Al Qaeda are against the education of girls. Educated girls become educated women. Women who want to be in control of their own destiny. This does not fill Al Qaeda with joy. They want their women to be uneducated, so that they are easier to control.....less of a problem. Isn't that why they shot the 15 year old girl in the head.....the girl who agitated for education for all girls in her own country?
Boko Haram are supposed to be allied to Al Qaeda, and will follow their lead.
The fact that these men have threatened to sell these girls as slaves show how little they think of women.
Islam is supposed to revere women.....not sell them as slaves.
