The activities of Boko Haram in Nigeria demonstrate that religious radicalization can be a centrifugal force. This is because their actions often exacerbate divisions among different ethnic and religious groups within the country, leading to conflict and a lack of cohesion. Their extremist ideology in the name of Islam creates a significant rift between the Muslim population (especially those who do not support their radical views) and the Christian communities, as well as among Muslims themselves, contributing to instability and fragmentation within Nigeria.
