Top Iranian, Nigerian Clerics Discuss Islamic Awakening Wave

I wonder if the Ayatollah was praising what the Boko Haram were doing to innocent people in Africa in the name of Islam. I don't think the Ayatollah was telling him that he thought it was awful that the President of the Sudan didn't want any more Blacks like this Nigerian living in his country.

I doubt it. Boko Haram is Sunni and Ibrahim Zakzaky is Shia as is the Ayatolla. Most of Boko Haram's victims have likewise been Muslim and I seriously doubt they were discussing Sudan. Zakzaky seems to believe the west is supporting Boko Haram in order to create a "Balkanization" of Nigeria. A bit crazy.

Here's an article that has a bit more info on their "Islamic awakening".

Regardless, Coyote, even though they belong to different sects of Islam, they did meet.

No, you misunderstood - Zakzaky and the Ayatolla are both Shia I think - they have a common interest. Boko Haram is Sunni. Neither support Boko Haram.
