You Muslims have given the world nothing but agony, bitterness, murder, hatred and destruction. Everywhere you go, destruction follows you. You paint the pictures of violence, intolerance, evil, especially you Nigerian version of Muslims.

So, it is only natural for people to view your sheiks, imams, Alfas, etc with suspicion.


Hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha


"You muslims"

Bigotry at its finest.


He thinks that I have to be a muslim in order to use common sense.

Because PANTAMI's NIN policy threatens shekau's ability to operate...plus Pantami has in the past criticsied Boko Haram's ideology as flawed and wrong.

The news was not that he was a 'wanted terrorist' but places on 'watchlist'.

He may or may not be as retracted... but my point is that they two different things and this link doesn't answer the questions on people's mind.

Pulse contacted the US authorities. They both pointed them to the available lists. Pantami's name is not on the list.

Besides, the guy debated Boko leaders and called their ideology flawed. He isn't on Boko's 'love' list right now. His NIN policy too makes matters difficult for them

Read now.

Provide any kind of evidence that he is on any list. Just one.


BBC, CNN, none of them reported any such thing. The US Embassy and other US agencies say the news is false, yet you and your "may or may not have been retracted" know better than them.

Hm

This ⬆⬆⬆ is the first article that answered the question that I asked yesterday.





This is not 1985. It was difficult to verify this kind of news item in 1985, but today all these agencies and people are online and verification is much easier. That's why I immediately went to the FBI's list of wanted terrorists when this story broke yesterday. There's no Pantami on the list. See for yourself. https://www.fbi.gov/wanted/wanted_terrorists


Now, if it was some top secret list that nobody had access to, do you think that Nigerian newspapers would have access to the information?

That's the other thing, how come the story only appeared on Nigerian news sites (most of them copied it from Daily Independent)? How come it's not on the BBC, CNN, etc?

This looks more like some kind of propaganda campaign.

FBI is different from CIA. FBI profiles domestic terrorists while CIA profiles foreign terrorists. We are awaiting for CIA CIA list

One thing about Boko...if you openly oppose them they will come for you.Even if you are a devout muslim and pray 20 times a day.

Pantami is not the only Islamic scholar to get threatened. Some other islamic scholars have been killed even. Also, I recall that when SLS was still Emir of Kano and openly called them out, they sent their thugs to attack Kano mosque in retaliation. During friday prayers even.

Also this is what the report OP put up said

At the CIA and FBI, voices on the other ends of the lines first described the reports as untrue or hasty, before directing us to the publicly available terrorism list on the FBI website which Pulse has painstakingly gone through.

Note that Pulse contacted both the CIA and FBI. And both described the watchlist reports as false...plus CIA won't make its lists publi per se.

You provided the list from FBI and I told you it is domain of cia because pantami is not us resident. Also watch list is different from wanted list. FBI even shows wanted list. No serious Intel will make watchlist public. It is only media that can dig that out.

Well, as the report OP posted said....Pulse contacted the CIA. The CIA said he is not on their list.

Plus,. Pantami spent most of his time showing Boko HARAM how wrong they were from the persepctive of their shared religion. Does that sound like a terrorist to you?

Patami is not a terrorist...unless you can show us the CIA list...proving your point. The Independent report did not link to the proof.

Because the independent report did not show us the watchlist...and the problem with the report is that in the abscence of the watchlist, they have no way of proving their report is true.

I can create a report and say that your name is on the terror watchlist, and if you ask for proof, I can say that 'watchlist is always secret'..e.ven though I am lying.

These people will never cease to amaze me.
I am yet to see people from the north do extensive research to defend any southerner but here,we are as usual,digging up post to defend them.
When will any of their learned ones defend people from the south?

Southern Nigeria is to Nigeria what Nigeria is to UK and USA.
No matter how high we climb, we still cower before the north.

Daily independent even goofed for digging it out. Terrorists are security threat to the world. It is not proper for media to reveal identities of those on the watch list.
It is not good for investigation.

The dishonorable Minister should honorably resign and allow proper and forensic investigation into the allegation.

The US investigative agencies are not slow pocks as their Nigerian counterparts so you don't expect them to disclose classified and sensitive security details to an unknown journalist just for the asking.

CONCLUSION

The writer of the piece is hasty in making conclusions and should be added on the watch list
You're very shallow minded.
