Islam;the religion of peace is being synonymised with bokoharam n terrorism lately which is very disheartening because Islam is completely different from all these things being associated with it. Let's take our time to go through these differences between Islam and boko haram

1) ISLAM: There is no compulsion in religion.
BOKO HARAM: Everyone must adhere to our ways else…

2) ISLAM: Love all and be just to all regardless of religion.
BOKO HARAM: If you are not with us you are against us.

3) ISLAM: Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) lived with peaceful Christians and Jews as his neighbours.
BOKO HARAM: All non Muslims must leave the North.

4) ISLAM: You are only permitted to protect yourselves when you are attacked first. And you should retaliate justly but when u gain an upper hand, u shld better forgive and leave everything to
Allah.
BOKO HARAM: We attack all who stand in our way

5) ISLAM: A true Muslim is one from whose tongue and hands his community is safe.
BOKO HARAM: We do not care your religion. Muslim or Christian we will crush any who stands in our way.

6) ISLAM: Killing of innocent souls is a great sin. No human being has the right to take life except through the due process of the Law.
BOKO HARAM: Allah will understand.He will not punish us.

7) ISLAM: During war, non-combatant women and
children must not be touched. Talk less of peace time.
BOKO HARAM: We kill men, women and children.

ISLAM: At war time, all non-Muslims that run into their places of worship or their homes will not be harmed. Talk less of peace time.
BOKO HARAM: We bomb non-Muslims in their places of worship. We also kill Muslims in their mosques and homes if we feel they are a threat to us. So

who really are these people with warped ideologies and intents?

I may not know what they
are really out to achieve but I do know for sure they do not represent Islam. Rather, they are acting contrary to it's most sublime teachings: peaceful
advocacy. Of course, Islam strongly disapproves of corruption and incapable leadership!
LET'S WORK TOGETHER, REGARDLESS OF TRIBE AND
RELIGION TO PROVIDE A BETTER TOMORROW FOR ALL.

Ps. Let's all be patient muslims and learn to explain to non muslims the beauty of this wonderful religion;the Peaceful Religion.
