it has to start with their education and the media, what are school children in the north being taught and what do they listen to on their local radios or in the mosque?

Like they do in Europe, The Nigerian government may need to start spying on mosques.

This is a very tall order for the FG.
They have not provided uninterrupted power supply.

It doesn't come at an expensive price i suppose

I believe the government should include secret service agents in zones notorious for Religious attacks, that way, it will be easier to nip any crisis in the bud before it began

naijaway:

I feel this topic. Any extremist should be jailed for 20years or more; Every traditional chief or program should be disbanded and discontinued with their names in the history books saying not confirmed. Every state should not be allowed to use religious or traditional laws that can affect the national unity or in summary, inconsiderate to other people.



to be continued.

sounds mean but effective

Sharia laws should be cancelled as well, the damn thing creates fear in people's mind. . . .i wonder why it was even created in the first place

You have answered your own question . . .

Question:

i wonder why it was even created in the first place

Answer:

Sharia laws should be cancelled as well, the damn thing creates fear in people's mind

Make una dey there.
your president is covertly hiding away in Saudi with his progress hidden away with the help of Saudi authorities, they are helping to ensure that an islamic ruler is running the country at all costs.
Your CBN governor is a well tutotred Islamic/Sharia scholar (in sudan a fellow blacklisted country), making him the most suitable for the job.
The problem with most of you is that you think that Nigeria ends in the south and in worst case scenario, Lagos.
Visit the extreme north and better appreciate your country.
What you call extremism is a normal way of life over there.

the only solution to such extremism is secular education and poverty alleviation.

Very very false!!
Mutallab had the best of Secular education and came from an extremely wealthy family.

In making assessments and proffering solutions, it is important we face the facts, get to the root cause of issues and analyze realistically the potential complications or solutions that stare us clearly in the face.

Nigeria is sitting on a religious time bomb.
There are training camps for islamic extremeist scattered across Northern Nigeria. Boko Haram was just a tip of the iceberg.
If you ask me for a realistic solution, I'd say we split Nigeria. But that doesn't seem likely as the politicians- both northern and southern- benefit immensely from the status quo.

The simplest solution to Islamic Extremism lies in the hands of moderate muslims.
The very moment muslims come out and start vehement fighting against terrorism, extremism will begin to wane.

Imagine a situation where Boko Haram is seeking to kill christians and they find that their muslim brothers are protecting the christians: That would punch an instant blow to their morale.

The reason slavery ended in the world was because white folks fought vehemently against it.
The reason racism has waned in America was because white folks joined in the fight against it.

Once again, extremism will begin to wane the very moment Muslim Countries, Muslim adherents, and Muslim organizations begin to fight vehemently against it.

- That is against the norm. . . cus it is against the will of Allah not to kill Christians and Jews . . .hence it is very rare to see a muslim that is willing to go against what Allah says . . .i.e. a muslim that chooses to protect Christians and Jews when Allah says muslims should kill Christians and Jews . .  Yes there are muslims that do not kill christians and muslims contrary to what Allah says, however the reality is a True Muslims would obey Allah first and foremost. Hence it means one is left the mercy of whether or not a muslim would obey Allah or whether the muslim would disobey Allah.

- That is why True Muslims have a natural tendency of being terrorists no matter how innocent they look . . .

- The problem is not education and wealth . . . Osama bin Laden was educated and wealthy yet he is a terrorist . . .

- Farouk was educated and wealthy yet he ended being a terrorist . .

- Hence the summary of the whole issue is that:

. . . ISLAM ITSELF IS THE PROBLEM . . .


. . . putting lipstick on a pig would not change the fact that it is still a pig . . . hence until the problem of ISLAM itself is solved, there would always be terrorism . . .


. . . . One way of solving the problem of Islam is by telling the truth about ISLAM so that muslims that are yet to be brainwashed can get to know the truth and hence stop being muslims . . . that is why Islam hates it when there is an honest debate or discussion cus islam knows that in an honest debate or discussion, sooner or later muslims are going to start realising that they have been brainwashed.

In as much of what you've written is hard for many to accept because of political correctness, it happens to be the sincere truth.
The sooner we realise where the real problem lies, the quicker we would be able to solve it.

Other religions exsit in the world, but only adherents of one permit and propagate so much destruction in the name of their religion. The problem then, without question definitely emanates from the teachings and the articles of its ideology.

In as much as this school of thought is tempting to follow. . . u might want to consider many other countries with high population of Islamic sects, and somehow they still manage to live in peace, an example is Dubai.

And even if the ideology of the religion is the problem, how then is the best way to stop it from spreading further. . . more and more kids are being brought up in this way, can we ascribe this responsibility exclusively to the federal government or do you think religious leaders should share a larger part of the blame. . . or maybe the parents?

Where exactly do we draw the line of what and what is the truth concerning the ideology that is solely grounded in Islamic faith, especially in a scenario where a larger percentage probably believe in the violent path

Islamic schools should be banned in Naija
