Let's reason together, I have often wondered
how I would feel about Islam if I were born in a
christian family or how I would feel about the
Yorubas if I were born into an Ibo family.
We don't choose what family we would be born
to, we only find ourselves in it.
What percentage of people born into one
religion willingly convert into another religion if
not for circumstance forced on them by
marriage, economical or spiritual factors and
even at that the total percentage of these
group of people are minimal.
Our religion taught us that their is no
reincarnation but if it does exist, who knows if
we would come back into the religion and tribe
we detest.
I had a very peculiar experience when I was in
LASU, me and a friend met some girls in the
evening and we were escorting them to their
hostel. We naturally paired up and were
discussing as we were going, as I was talking to
the girl with me, I had this very strong feeling
that I know the girl and that we have met
before but I didn't tell her because I felt she
might think its all part of scoping her.
As we were going, the girl told me that she feel
that she knows me and that we have met
before, so I told her that I felt it too so I started
from primary school to all the different places
that I have been to but there was no way our
path could have crossed, we stayed far
apart,attended different schools and have like 4
years age gap. The girl just shook her head and
said it wasn't any of the places that it was just
a feeling.
This often let me wonder about de ja vu and if
people don't reincarnate and have some
subconscious memory of past life.
The bottom line is that we should try and just
be good people and don't have irrational dislike
for people simply because of their religion or
the tribe which they find themselves and deal
with the based on their individual qualities and
character.
I am a muslim and have always condemned the
activities of boko haram and always dissociate
them from islam. I and many true, intelligent
and independent muslims always regret and
sympathize the death of victims of the terror
attacks.
What kind of pastor would the leader of boko haram be were he to be a christian? Reverend king I guess and what kind of an imam would the CAN president be?
I guess moderation and keeping an open mind is the key word.

Islam, a religion of mercy, does not permit terrorism. In the Quran, God has said:
God does not forbid you from showing kindness and dealing justly with those who have not fought you about religion and have not driven you out of your homes. God loves just dealers. (Quran, 60:

The Prophet Muhammad used to prohibit soldiers from killing women and children,1 and he would advise them: {...Do not betray, do not be excessive, do not kill a newborn child.}2 And he also said: {Whoever has killed a person having a treaty with the Muslims shall not smell the fragrance of Paradise, though its fragrance is found for a span of forty years.}3

Also, the Prophet Muhammad has forbidden punishment with fire.4

He once listed murder as the second of the major sins,5 and he even warned that on the Day of Judgment, {The first cases to be adjudicated between people on the Day of Judgment will be those of bloodshed.6}7

In light of these and other Islamic texts, the act of inciting terror in the hearts of defenseless civilians, the wholesale destruction of buildings and properties, the bombing and maiming of innocent men, women, and children are all forbidden and detestable acts according to Islam and the Muslims. Muslims follow a religion of peace, mercy, and forgiveness, and the vast majority have nothing to do with the violent events some have associated with Muslims. If an individual Muslim were to commit an act of terrorism, this person would be guilty of violating the laws of Islam.

Islam does not condone terrorism act and therefore, what boko haram are doing are contradicting the law of islam and as such condemned.

Boko haram are political and geographical organ. It's a shame,that it is being used by our leaders to achieve their aims. God is watching and only HE knows why HE allows such to be happening. HE will answer our prayers and by his grace,boko and the people behind them will b disgraced before our very eyes.
