Boko Harum

[Zorkorist]

I was watching PBS last night, and they had a show on Frontline, that featured video of atrocities in Africa. You can imagine, atrocities in Africa, like a lion eating your innards, etc.

But apparently in Northern Nigeria there is a Muslim/Islam Group, attacking and killing villages of normal African people. They are called Boko Harum, and translated into English it means "people that kill people that follow Western Customs."

The video showed on Frontline, included Nigerian Government Forces, executing people, whom we would assume are Boko Harum. It was very graphic.

So, just a heads up, and another instance of severely fucked up, religious, people (Muslims,) attacking people.

In this case, retribution, Jungle Style.

such a bonehead to assume and believ whatever you read.

Religion this.
Religion that.

Is that all you know how to post?

It's not all I know to post, it is however important that I post it.

For those that have not seen it, it is militant Muslims, killing people in Northern Nigeria, Africa.

We have all heard of Sudan, Defar, East Coast and the atrocities commited there by Muslims, but it's important to see how in Nigeria Africa, West Coast, that the Muslims, are killing people there too.

There is absolutely no stop to these evil, religious, people.

It's not so much religion rather than Islam.

I thought this thread was about Procol Harum. They had some good songs in the late 60's/early 70's ("A whiter shade of pale" and "Conquistador")

First, it's Boko Haram. And the name actually means "Western education is forbidden" or "Non-Islamic education is forbidden". And I'm sure most of us have heard of them when they kidnapped all those girls from a school in Nigeria earlier this year.

Wait - are you saying that Boko Harum somehow survived the ferocity of the First Lady's frowney face tweets? Hmm, I'm going to need a few minutes to process that. Could it be that frowney face tweets have somehow become an ineffective strategy against terrorist groups?

It's also worth pointing out that in Africa, the Muslims are hard pressed to outdo the Christians in savagery, even though they do have a clear lead in kidnapping children.

It is. See, Procol Harum was formed in '67 by pianist Gary Brooker, drummer Bobby Harrison, lyricist Keith Reid, organist Matthew Fisher, lead guitarist Ray Royer, and pan flutist, sitarist, and spiritual leader Muhammed Yusef. When the band's career stalled after their one megahit, the group split up over creative differences into Procol Harum, Freedom, Freedom's antithesis Boko Harum, and The Band, which got all the musicians acquired along the way that neither group wanted. The core Procol Harum group under Brooker and Reid wanted to concentrate on R&B and soul, Freedom under Royer and Harrison wanted to detour more into the new psychedelic movement, The Band concentrated on erasing all visible ties to Procol Harum, and Boko Harum wanted to concentrate on kidnapping and murder. (And also more pan flute and sitar.) Boko Harum's break-out hit, A Whiter Shade of Pale From Blood Loss, faltered due to Boko Harum's habit of murdering its fan base whenever possible as well as the well-known mid-sixties market saturation of pan flute and sitar bands. Boko Harum's come-back tour in 1970 did draw large crowds, but as almost all were either fleeing or dead, album sales remained weak, so by 1971 Boko Harum had moved almost entirely out of popular music and into its niche demographic of severed heads. In spite of vigorously increasing its target demographic, Boko Harum's rejection of a spherical Earth greatly limited the band's ability to tour (for fear of falling off the edge) and by Yusef's death from lead poisoning in 2009, the band had been left behind in the music world, achieving neither the commercial, critical and editorial success of The Band nor the decades-long half life of Procol Harum. (No one knows what happened to Freedom as all psychedelic music sounds the same - even the Dead's.)

As this is now on the Internet, it must be true. G-d help us all.
