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
They started with killing muslims. We ignored it saying Gambari pa Fulani.
First you say, Muslims do not condemn.
Then you say, Taqiyah when they condemn.
There is no pleasing y'all so why bother?
It is the job of the state to protect and prosecute.

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.
Who else noticed how OP quoted only areas that condemned killing of fellow moslems as if Islam supports killings of non muslims?

Expanse2020:
So quickly forgot those who kidnapped a reverend in last year but later discover na the secretary and members of the church gang up on the pastor
Yes, there are a few isolated cases of such who take advantage of the popular narrative to carry out their criminality.
But all in all we know the religion of the terrorists and it's not Christianity they are trying to spread.
Christianity is preached by word of mouth or actions of love and not fought for. How can a mortal fight for the immortal? Especially the immortal God?
Even the crusades of old were defensive to checkmate the marauding savages who were hell bent on spreading their religion by force.
It's an ideology that cannot change.
So the resistance continues...

The hypocrisy in this article is laughable. So they should not kill believers but unbelievablers.
It is okay if they attack Christians and churches and not mosque and Muslims?

Everything they do, the have the backing from your Quran to do it. Stop deceiving yourselves

This looks like a good argument until you asked similar questions
1. How can a man who took the wife of his adopted Muslim son be a Muslim?
2. How can a man who does almost every sexual act on his wife while he is fasting be a Muslim?
3. How can a man who commit adultery with his wife's housegirl be a Muslim?
4. How can a man who sleeps with a captured woman without waiting for her itdah period to elapse be a Muslim?
5. How can a man who practices it with the Al-Zutt or suck the tongues of young boys be a Muslim?


The list can go on. If such a man can be one of the best Muslims, these people who you condemn must surely be the real Muslims.
God bless you.
6. How can a man who sent out his men to raid passing caravans be a muslim,?

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 !
