Racism Won’t Allow Boko Haram, ISIS Corporation– US Intelligence
According
to NBC News, US Intelligence report suggests that racism will keep ISIS
operating in Northern Africa from teaming up with Boko Haram.
Long
before ISIS militants beheaded Christians on a Libyan beach last week, Nigeria’s
Boko Haram was carrying out similar atrocities 1,500 miles to the south. Now
that ISIS is operating in northern Africa, will the Syria-based organization
join forces with the continent’s largest Islamist terror group was the question
in everyone’s lips.
U.S.
intelligence officials disagree. They suggest one obstacle. Racism.
“The
Arab world is incredibly racist,” a U.S. intelligence
official explained. “They don’t see black Africans as equivalent to them.
“ISIS
may show affinity with Boko Haram but they stop short of allegiance. Moreover,
while Boko Haram has in the past year released videos to show affiliation with
groups like ISIS, there is no evidence of either group sending members to fight
with the other. And while Boko Haram has praised ISIS and shown the ISIS flag
in videos, ISIS has not reciprocated.”
