Actually one could make a strong argument that standard deserves more to be applied there. That is because you want your starting point to be as just as possible. Unlike here and other western countries, the constitution in Iraq, and I doubt it was different in Nigeria, was ratified through both men's and women's votes.

Even if they were only attacking the government, Nigeria seems to be a democratic country. It is very important to view violent attacks on governments where there is democratic system and protection for basic rights in countries like Nigeria and Iraq and anywhere else the same way we see them here and other western countries. Unless one can suggest a more just system, this is the standard that needs to be applied firmly and uniformly the same way all over the world for the sake of justice and order.

Those Boko Haram (but crazy halal) in Nigeria send young girls to explode themselves in refugee camps for people who already lost what they have because of a war adding to their already piling misery. It is as if there was a competition for the lowest level of sinking in criminal actions. 
Although I don't like jumping the issue of justice and going directly into the implementation of any religion, I want to say that when I read about having some kind of interpretation of Islam for committing such actions it feels like reading about someone who pushed another person to his death from the top of a high building that he has his own interpretation of Newton's Gravity Theory.
