One accusation frequently made in Nigeria is that bandits are Muslims and that what they do represents Islam.

But I ask: How can they be Muslims?

I have seen in many videos that some of them rely on charms and juju so that bullets will not penetrate them which is considered Shirk in Islam.

Allah says:

"Indeed, Allah does not forgive associating partners with Him, but He forgives what is less than that for whom He wills." (Qur'an 4:48)

How can they be Muslims?

Many of them consume hard drugs and intoxicants.

Yet the Prophet ﷺ taught that every intoxicant is forbidden.

How can they be Muslims?

Some of them kill innocent people indiscriminately.

Yet Allah says:

"Whoever kills a believer intentionally, his recompense is Hell, wherein he will abide eternally, and Allah's wrath and curse are upon him, and He has prepared for him a great punishment." (Qur'an 4:93)

And the Prophet ﷺ said:

"The destruction of the whole world is lighter in the sight of Allah than the unlawful killing of a Muslim."

How can they be Muslims?

Some of them commit zina and violate the honour of women in captivity.

When Allah has prescribed severe punishment for fornication and adultery, how can those who perpetrate such acts claim to represent Islam?

How can they be Muslims?

Some steal wealth, extort ransom, rustle cattle, and spread fear throughout society.

Yet Allah says:

"The punishment of those who wage war against Allah and His Messenger and strive to spread corruption on earth is that they be executed, or crucified, or have their hands and feet cut off on opposite sides, or be exiled from the land." (Qur'an 5:33)

How can they be Muslims?

Some attack mosques and kill Muslims themselves. They have kidnapped Islamic scholars and ordinary Muslims alike. They have burnt villages, displaced families, and left many children orphaned.

How then can they be said to be preaching Islam?

No religion should be judged by the actions of those who violate its teachings. If a Christian commits armed robbery, we do not say Christianity teaches robbery. Likewise, Islam should not be judged by people who openly rebel against its commandments.

Islam stands for peace, justice, mercy, and security. These criminals represent only themselves and their evil desires.

May Allah protect our land from their evil, guide those among them who can still be guided, and bring swift justice upon those who persist in corruption and bloodshed.

Āmīn.

What religious do them believed?

Hypocrisy, you are saying this now because they have extended their killing to Moslem, I could remember when Boko are killing Christian then, some Muslim were enjoying it

With this kind of reasoning always shows that many Nigerian are naturally wicked and we not ready for change as a nation

The real hypocrisy is in you. Was there ever a time the Muslims didn't suffer more from their brutality? I hate to engage people like you who are so bias and intolerant of Muslims and people of other faiths

They obviously are not Muslim, just a mean to cause fraction between two groups. Every man has a price, poverty is a great weapon to control a man. The poverty level where these bandit/terrorist came from is enough. A rational thinking individual know this, media itself is a complicit.

Imagine two story "unknown gunmen/bandit ravage a village" vs "some Islamic terrorist ravage a village". The former pin the crime on the individual, promoting peace while capturing the culprit. The later if ran long enough pin the issue on the group, therefore causing the very thing we see right now.

Once you see this, you understand how media propaganda work.

Peace.

lol. Very funny people. Oya , show me a Christian bandit or terrorist na. How can someone go to pray to their “god” after killing people amazes me walahi. They say all Muslims are not terrorists which is TRUE. They also said ALL TERRORISTS ARE MUSLIMS, which is also true. If you did set in school, what does that tell you ?


I will advise you to tell your leaders , Imams, Alfas, Sheikhs, Emirs etc to always preach the gospel of peace and unity despite religious affiliations . That is the only and best way to resolve this dispute. It might take some time , but these people listen to their leaders and worship them.

LET THIS POSITIVE CHANGE STRT FROM THE LEADERS ! Q.E.D !

What about the french soldiers found in bokina faso while repelling insurgent. If you say all terrorist are Muslim.

I hope you learn to understand world politics and not this groundnut play happening in your backyard.
Who we are as a nation and as a continent. The impact of poverty and the various measure in place to keep African nations the way they are.

Peace ✌️

Them dey talk of Bandits and Terrorists killing and beheading scores of people and you are talking about one man being kidnapped. While I heavily condemn both, it is quite obvious to any right-thinking person that terrorism is a matter of national security . Terrorism is something that must be purged out of every society, and fast too

I want you to read this interesting fact from the below.
