The moral calculus of Boko Haram, the Congregation of the People of the Sunnah for Dawah and Jihad, is easy to parse: working in or frequenting a brothel is un-Islamic, but blowing up a brothel and murdering ten people is pleasing to Allah.

Nigeria: Islamic jihadists abduct 60 more girls and women, 31 boys
