I criticise Islam on this blog until I was presented a book titled, 'Journey into the Mind of Islamic Terrorists' it is written one Gabriel A. Mark an Egyptian who x ~ rays the content of Quran in a most logical way. Himself a PhD holder in Islamic culture and history being an Imam and later a PhD holder in Christian education and preacher.
This book was written primarily for those of us who do not know that terrorists is only a negligible percent but misguided persons. These are mostly illiterate evangelists who are misguided by respected persons like Osama bin Laden, a wealthy business man, and Aeyman Al ~ Zawahiri, a surgeon, similar to our Mohammed Yussuf who is not un lettered but zealous in preaching Islam as well.
Until some of their followers were allowed to proper education both secular and Islamic education. Some of these people were released into the society and began to campaign in voice over the air and letters for their belief. Rather than killing innocent people to seize the power, they formed a Political Party, Islamic Brotherhood, that produced mohammed Morsi.
Before this time Egypt had lost 150, 000 persons.
I submit that Nigerians should be able to used the same method starting from Nairaland firstly, by stopping the e ~ bashing and molesting the emotion of Muslim Nairalanders and to pray for the extremists and their sponsors to see the light of Islam in its pure form .
This approach has worked somewhere it can work in Nigeria.

How reasonable?

What worked in Egypt CANNOT WORK in Nigeria. The cultural scope is dissimilar in all rizpekts.
Christians use the maladied Islamic faithful's evil perpetrations as tool to preach the good in the gospel fabricated the white man ....A falsehood that can't stand on it's own without making reference to misguided Islamists. So, forget it! They won't stop even if!

Op. The problem has been and is still with your holy books. As long as your Holy books clearly supports their actions point blank then there is no other solution other than to modify the books to respect the sanctity of lives above all things.

The poster above is right now that the holy books are producing unholy results, whay do we do?
Engaging the military is a waste of time. The dead soldiers are a loss to their families and the nation. While jihadist fighters are gaining paradise.
Ordinarily, if Nigeria and Cameroon are involved in a war, the armies are fighting professionally after the war, two soldiers from each side can be friends but when communal and religion are involved, the war takes considerable time to end. Peopl fight emotionally for a belief and an eternal reward not a medal.
However, some measure should be used other than military and dialogue because their demands will be unreasonable.
So I reason with Gabriel A. Mark that correct enlightenment campaign both secular and spiritual are needed. The extremists have been spiritually ill ~ guided. They need re ~ orientation. The northern leaders neglected this by omission or commission we are paying dearly for it now.
Who knows whether the peace places now will have sympathy for their brethren tomorrow and the whole nation is engulfed by this group or similar ones?

Surah 60, Verse 8:
As for such [of the unbelievers] as do not fight against you on account of [your] faith, and neither drive you forth from your homelands, [size=13pt] God does not forbid you to show them kindness and to behave towards them with full equity: [/size] for, verily, God loves those who act equitably.

Bros, forget that thing. I can give droves of verses and quotes from your holy books that fully support endless bloodshed aside from the life of wars and bloodshed of your prophet that further proves it.

There are so many threads already dedicated to that and am not ready for the usual endless arguments that follow. The contradictions in your holy books is not my fault.
