Definition: The term "Boko Haram" refers to a group of terrorists known as Boko Haram that is active in Nigeria. This sect has claimed responsibility for several terrorist attacks against Western nations, including the Paris attack and a bus bombing in Orlando, Florida. It's important to note that this terrorism is not justified by any legal or moral framework, hence its label as "Boko Haram." The group operates under Islamic principles, but they are known for their violent extremism.
