Boko Haram has revealed themselves to be Kharijites; they - like all takfiri groups - are beyond the pale.

In classical fiqh, such groups can expect no quarter and no mercy in dealing with them. They have removed themselves from the Ummah and believe they are operating under divine sanction and they do nothing but spread chaos and dissension. They have created their own rules; that is considered bi’dah (innovation) and that is forbidden.

Boko Haram has one of two choices: Surrender at once, lay down their arms and repent of their blasphemies.

The other choice is their complete and utter destruction.
