In Nigeria, in July 2009, when supporters of an Islamic sect called Boko Haram (Boko Haram means "Western education is a sin" or 'forbidden'), and known locally as the "Taliban" - attacked police and government offices, they said they wanted to overthrow the Nigerian state, accusing it of being corrupted by Western ideas.
They wanted to ban Western-style education and impose an 'extreme' (is there any other kind these days?) interpretation of Islamic law.
The sect's leader Mohammed Yusuf was killed while in police custody after the violence. Before he died he told the BBC: "There are prominent Islamic preachers who have seen and understood that the present Western-style education is mixed with issues that run contrary to our beliefs in Islam. Like saying the world is a sphere. If it runs contrary to the teachings of Allah, we reject it. We also reject the theory of Darwinism."
And this is the religion that our leaders are trying to foist on the rest of us ...... if these flat earther's, with their rejection of evolution were not an ethnic minority, we would be allowed to laugh at their belief system from the 7th century, but in this PC Labour paradise, we are told that these beliefs are of the same intrinsic value as those of post enlightenment Europe.
I notice that the lickspittles who tell us this, are happy enough to rail against the 'religious right' in the US who hold similarly idiotic and backward beliefs, but then they are largely not held by ethnic minorities in the US ....
