Abstract

"Religious conflicts have increased interfaith suspicion between Christians and Muslims in Nigeria with each group being determined to outshine the other in the propagation of its religious beliefs. In fact, even Islamic sect Boko Haram was formed on the belief in the superiority of Islam as a monotheistic religion and with a divine mandate to purge Islam of Western influences. This paper examines the complex issues surrounding the advent of the Boko Haram sect in Nigeria. It argues that religious conflict in Nigeria results from the propagation of radicalized exegeses and the use of religious sentiments for gain political advantage. Government’s failure to act decisively also accounts for religious conflict in Nigeria and the Boko Haram in particular. Keywords: Boko Haram, conflict, religion, ideology, violence, Islam."
尼日利亚:宗教冲突和博科圣地
“宗教冲突增加了尼日利亚基督徒和穆斯林之间的信仰间怀疑,每个群体都决心在其宗教信仰的传播中胜过其他群体。事实上,即使是伊斯兰教派博科圣地也是基于对伊斯兰教作为一神教的优越性的信仰而形成的,其神圣使命是清除伊斯兰教对西方的影响这是围绕着博科圣地教派在尼日利亚出现的复杂问题。它认为,尼日利亚的宗教冲突是由激进的exeges的传播和利用宗教情绪获取政治优势造成的。政府未能果断采取行动也造成了尼日利亚的宗教冲突,尤其是博科圣地。关键词:博科圣地,冲突,宗教,意识形态,暴力,伊斯兰教。“
