wreaking havoc in their native areas and
causing concern all over the world
The names "Boko Haram" and "ISIS" have
almost become synonymous with death in
West Africa and the Middle East.
Boko Haram has unleashed a wave of terror in
Nigeria, Cameroon and Chad while The Islamic
State in Iraq and al-Sham (ISIS) has shaken the
world to its core with the amount of devastation
that it has caused.
ISIS is again a topic of discussion after a member
of the group beheaded American journalist,
Steven Sotloff on Tuesday, September 2, 2014 and
sent out a video for the world to see.
Meanwhile Boko Haram is reported to have taken
over the second largest town in Borno amidst
claims that a takeover of Maiduguri, the capital, is
next on their list.
Here are 5 things that both dreaded groups have
in common:
. Both groups claim to be working for Allah, the
Muslim name for God.
. They force adherents of other religions to convert
to Islam or face execution.
. Both ISIS and Boko Haram have overrun
communities and claimed territory as theirs
leaving destruction in their wake.
. The terrorist groups have gone on a murderous
rampage in their respective vicinities, killing
women, children and even their fellow Muslims.
. Both groups are very wealthy and are receiving
massive funding from unknown sources which
allows them to purchase deadly state of the art
weapons to carry out their attacks.
