How to deal with brothers like those of Boko Haram?

Question:

Salam aleykoum, I hope to find you all in good health Insha Allah.

I have been particularly shocked by the news of the church bombing in Nigeria by the group Boko Haram.
I would like to know what is the legal status of this group according to the 4 madhabs?
And how to deal with such people? Is it lawful to fight them if necessary to make them stop those actions? (I ask that because of the story of the Khawarij). What can we do in front of such things?

Barakallahou fik

Answer:

Alaykum Salam,
Islam categorically denounces and condemn individuals and groups who engage in killing innocent people. It is a responsibility of the Muslim Ummah to use all means available to stop everyone from killing innocents human beings.
