i couldn't but help notice this on a website, firstly I commend the Osun State Government for making such symposium,however i'd to ask if such Discussions like this can bring about a change to how Islam is being viewed in Nigeria, am no way a Muslim, but i do not regard Islam as a terrorist religion,but only a religion that the terrorists happen to practise, what are your views on this ? thanks |
