Disturbed by the ceaseless killings of innocent
people by the Islamist group, Boko Haram, the
leader of the Muslims in Nigeria, Alhaji Sa’ad
Abubakar III, has said that the group is simply
out to destroy Islam in the country.

Sa’ad Abubakar III who is also the Sultan of
Sokoto and president general, Nigeria Supreme
Council for Islamic Affairs (NSCIA) also urged
Nigerians to complement government’s efforts
towards ending the menace of the insurgents.

Speaking on Monday night when he hosted
members of the Nigeria Union of Journalists
(NUJ), Sokoto State chapter at a Ramadan
dinner, the Sultan urged elected leaders to act
speedily towards ending the activities of Boko
Haram.

‘“The Boko Haram people, their ideology as well
as their activities are not Islamic in any way and
they are not aimed at strengthening Islam, but
rather to destroy it. We as Islamic leaders must,
therefore, condole with the families of all those
who are victims of Boko Haram’s senseless
activities. We are also consoling Nigerians over
the senseless killings of innocent people in the
past one week in Kano, Borno, Yobe, Plateau
and Zaria, among others. And I am calling on all
our elected leaders to urgently do something
about this menace so that Nigerians can go back
to their normal lives in a country which is free”,
the Sultan said.

Refuting the claim that the Boko Haram sect is
maiming, killing, looting and kidnapping for the
sake of Islam, the leader of Muslims in Nigeria
said they are rather against the religion of Islam
since it means peace.

“Islam means peace and the actions of the
insurgents are against Islam. Therefore, we the
leaders feel pains and have concerns that the
group is going against the religion”, he said.

While advising the insurgents to have a rethink
and comprehend the true meaning of Islam, the
Sultan said they should understand that there is
no compulsion in religion, adding that nobody
can Islamise Nigerians.

The Sultan pledged to continue to work towards
the sustenance of religious harmony in Nigeria,
even as he urged adherents of the two major
religions in Nigeria, Christianity and Islam, to
maintain religious harmony at all times.

While commending Nigerians for the peaceful
2015 general elections, Sultan Abubakar said
only prayers and the people’s support can help
elected leaders to succeed.

“Nigerians have voted their leaders and now it is
time to support President Muhammadu Buhari
and all the leaders to enable them move Nigeria
forward. The change Nigerians had yearned for
has now come and the work to actually realise
that change is yet to begin.

Islamism can be defined as the pursuit of war and the unending thirst for blood!

Finally, the turban wearing leader speaks. Thank goodness he didn't re affirm his zeal for Boko Haram to be given amnesty.

However, I am concerned this man seemed more concerned that Boko Haram is tainting the religion Islam, rather them him feeling concerned that Boko Haram is killing innocent Nigerians.

I guess his religion mean more to him than the lives of his fellow country men.

Karl Marx is truly a genius "religion is the opiate of the masses".
