Boko Haram – od lokalnej sekty do międzynarodowej organizacji terrorystycznej?
Boko Haram – From the Local Sect to the International Terrorist Organization?

Summary/Abstract: Boko Haram is a jihadist Salafisect which was formed around 2002 in northeastern Nigeria. Since 2010 the sect has rapidly expanded not only its missionary activity but has also brutally attacked Nigerian authorities as well as Christians. Boko Haram is often called the “African (Nigerian) Talibans” because its members insist on an implementation of the Sharia Law all over the country and reject everything which is related to the European culture (democracy, Darwin’s theory, the way of education). As a lot of Muslims perceive the sect as the best solution for Nigerian poverty, the lack of opportunities and incompetent governments, Boko Haram is gaining more and more popularity. There are increasing speculations that Boko Haram is already a serious threat not only in the local or Nigerian dimension but also in the international area because of its alleged links with AlQaeda extremists and al-Shebaab.
