Boko Haram ask Al-Shabab to join IS

Nigeria's Boko Haram extremists urge Somalia's Shabab to join Islamic State, abandon al-Qaida


MAIDUGURI, Nigeria – Nigeria's Boko Haram extremists are urging Somalia's al-Shabab rebels to join them in pledging allegiance to the leader of the Islamic State group, and thus abandon al-Qaida.

Al-Qaida and Islamic State are rivals for jihadi recruits and the video posted on Twitter on Wednesday tells Shabab fighters that uniting "is of greater benefit to the struggle on the path of Islam" and will "help in defeating the infidels of the world."

The appeal from an unidentified armed fighter is part of a wider courting of al-Shabab. Similar messages came nearly two weeks ago from militant extremists in Iraq, Sinai, Syria, and Yemen.

Al-Shabab has been losing ground in Somalia to a multinational African force but staged an April attack in neighboring Kenya that killed nearly 150 people at Garissa University.

It really would forge a collection of some of the most savage and barbaric groups in the region. As Somalis we don't need to be declaring allegiance to some freak controlling a bunch of savages, takfiris and psychopaths in Iraq.

Both groups flagrantly violate Islam and cause more suffering to Muslims. Boko Haram massacres full mosques and churches and kills civilians en-masse indiscriminatly. We all know what kind of bs al-Shabab gets up to.

May their plans fail

As Basra would say, Boko Haram aka Alshabab aka ISIS aka Alqaida.. They are all pretty much one and the same; they use multiple names just to confuse and scare the West.

Of all the groups who are claiming to be Muslims, Boko Haram is the most retarded one. What kind of a Muslim group kidnaps innocent young girls in the hundreds from their houses? Their leader looks mental.
