Dirty Politics: Boko Haram in Perspective (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781517013646)

The game plan to infuse radical Islamism into the fabric of a multicultural social setting is almost always cleverly hidden behind the façade of very noble aspirations backed by the secular laws of the multicultural state. And once the seemingly harmless, and indeed, worthy" aspiration is achieved, the foothold sought to perpetrate terrorism in the grander scheme of affairs to enthrone Islam, is gained. The noble aspiration plays the dual role of a red herring and a foundational springboard. As a red herring, it diverts attention and scrutiny from the real issues brewing insidiously in the cauldron of jihadist activism. And as a foundational springboard, it offers the legitimate background upon which Islamists seek to assert totalitarian control over the minds and the socio-economic affairs of a political landscape through the agency of the Shari'a." To gain the unbiased insight that birthed the above assertion, Marxx Wells lived in Gusau, the current capital of Zamfara State before, during and after the creation of the state. During these times which spanned well over a decade, he wined and dined with the state's high and mighty by virtue of being a protégé of the Emir of Anka (Alhaji Attahiru Mohammed) and Governor Ahmed Sani (now Senator of the Federal Republic of Nigeria). This afforded him unrestricted access to garnering the data that formed the premise of the book - albeit initially penned with a pro-Islamist (apologist) hue. However, by some delightful twist of fate, he quite literally stumbled on a deeper understanding of the powerful undertows that define and characterize the agenda for global domination at the expense of modern civilization and democracy. Then he rewrote the manuscript to reflect the same and fled Zamfara for good in fear for his life.
