The Taliban Hits Nigeria and Gets Hit Back!!!

The Taliban is known for savage attacks across the globe and continues to solidify its presence in Northern Nigeria by killing hundreds of civilians. Running under the alias of Boko Haram which literally translates to "Western Education is a Sin", the Taliban arm in Nigeria threatens to overthrow the local government and public security forces with aims at instilling strict and unforgiving Islamic law in an already unstable country.

It seems the Taliban is attempting its own version of the crusades trying to convert people to its faith rapidly and relentlessly. But just like any conquest they have been met with strong opposition.

In recent days in the city of Maiduguri, Nigeria Islamic extremists have killed over 140 people. Now its their turn to take a beating. With the city in shambles, Nigerian troops finally stormed a major Boko Haram headquarters and opened fire with hopes to sever the Taliban arm at the source. Confirmation of the dead still awaits.

The Nigerian Taliban, although showing no definite connection to the Afghan Taliban, holds the same twisted Anti-Western values and is waging war against the Nigerian government with claims that they have been corrupted by "Western" ways.

The war on Terror is no longer just a term created by the Bush Administration. It is a reality around the world from Madrid to New York City to Maiduguri, Nigeria. These people are predators. The real leaders of the world need to come together again and squash them once and for all. Until then we are at the mercy of random acts of violence.
