Dude, if you want to know what Muslims think about Boko Harem you should probably avoid all news sources where the bottle blonde to hijab ratio is infinity.
Daesh, as ISIS is called by actual Muslims, is hated. There are no official Muslim political leaders, including the Iranians, who haven't condemned it. Most of them (again, including the Iranians) have sent troops to fight it. Quite a few have lost more troops to Daesh then we ever will, because we refuse risk American lives. Most of their recruits are actually westerners.
They're the guys from France's Islamic 5% who got out of High School and looked for those high-paying working class jobs, discovered that in the 21st century those are a myth, and furthermore that if you're in France and you aren't on the exact college track you can't get into a good college, and said "Fuck this France Shit, I'm returning to my roots and violently opposing all this French Shit; and since my holy book was written by the same guy who ordered the slaughter of the Canaanites I'm actually gonna be following the letter of my religious laws when I rape that Yazidi chick to avenge myself on all the French Catholic chicks who turned me down." They're basically what happens when you put a bunch of Non-white Muslims into a culture that consistently turns a significant group of it's young men into white supremacist racist thugs.
BH is just as despised. Their justification is that Western Education is evil, and yet the people of Chibok thought Western-style education was so important for their daughter's future they sent the girls to school on an alert day to take Western-style tests. In English. They certainly wish they hadn't now. All the criticism I've seen of President Jonathan's handling of the situation is that he didn't take it seriously, he let BH conquer vast tracts of the country, and that this may have been an electoral ploy becau7se said vast tracts were mostly Moslem and were poised to vote against him.
