US Intelligence says Rascism may not allow ISIS team up with Boko Haram

New report coming from NBC News suggest that racism won't allow Northen Regional terror Group ISIS team up with another dreaded terror group in the West, Boko Haram, (And we all say Amen!).

Long before ISIS militants beheaded Christians on a Libyan beach last week, Nigeria's Boko Haram was carrying out similar atrocities 1,500 miles to the south. Now that ISIS is operating in northern Africa, will the Syria-based organization join forces with the continent's largest Islamist terror group? Maybe not, say U.S. intelligence officials, and they suggest one obstacle is racism.

The Arab world is incredibly racist," explained a U.S. intelligence official. "They don't see black Africans as equivalent to them."

ISIS may show "affinity" with Boko Haram, said the official, "but they stop short of allegiance." Moreover, said the official, while Boko Haram has in the past year released videos to show "affiliation" with groups like ISIS, there's no evidence of either group sending members to fight with the other. And while Boko Haram has praised ISIS, and shown the ISIS flag in videos, ISIS has not reciprocated.

Real Madrid looking for repeat of 2014 Champions League win over Schalke

Gelsenkirchen (Germany), Feb 18 (IANS) Real Madrid start the knock-out stage of the Champions League with a return trip to face German outfit FC Schalke 04 on Wednesday night. 

Last season saw Real come back from the first leg of their last 16 tie in the Veltins Arena with a 6-1 away win which virtually assured their progress into the quarterfinals, reports Xinhua. While a repeat performance is unlikely this time around, Real Madrid are still clear favourites to go through against a rival that has several players missing through injury.

Real have injury issues of their own and it looks as if central defender Pepe will force his recovery from a rib injury in order to try and give some extra experience in central defence. Real coach Carlos Ancelotti will either take a chance on the Portuguese international or continues to confide in the relatively inexperienced duo of Rafael Varene and Nacho Fernandez.
