Boko Haram is crazy and we have been ignoring them. They have kidnapped hundred of school girls too, raping them and keeping them for a year.

There's some question as whether they've done some of the things they've claimed. They've claimed attacks and provided photographic evidence that turned out to be fabrications. The Nigerian army has been implicated in supplying BK with weapons.

There are also charges that the army or Western military services or both have been carrying out the attacks on the Shia in Northern Nigeria and attributing them to BK.

It will never end. Terrorists now have a voice and a whole world that listens so all they need to do is up the anti by upping their barbaric ways.

Wouldn't it be nice if we could flip a switch and do away with this type of vermin.

Looks like the #BringBackOurGirls hashtag activism was a smashing success. Well done, righteous soldiers.

No, terrorism probably won't ever go away completely. The odds of a given person being a victim in a terror attack are astoundingly low, however.

There are murders every day, but the murder rate has been dropping for 25 years. I think the elimination of this sort of thing entirely is a bit too lofty of a goal.
