How Christian Leaders Hampered Boko Haram Fight by midolian(op): 4:13pm On Aug 12, 2015

Christian leaders in Nigeria undermined efforts to combat the threat of Boko Haram by failing to engage in dialogue with Muslims, a senior Anglican church leader has told the BBC.

Archbishop Josiah Idowu-Fearon, who is Nigerian, said Christians had feared the country was being “Islamised”.

They had believed Muslim leaders were supporting the militants, he said.

Boko Haram had targeted both Muslims and Christians in its bid to impose Islamic law in northern Nigeria.

The group has killed more than 10,000 people since it began its insurgency in 2009 and has also kidnapped hundreds of girls and women.

Last year, the militants seized a huge area of the North-East, before being beaten back by a regional coalition, including Cameroon, Chad and Niger.

The BBC’s John McManus says Archbishop Idowu-Fearon, who is the new secretary-general of the Anglican Communion, has a strong reputation for promoting dialogue between Christians and Muslims.

But the archbishop told our correspondent that efforts to maintain unity were undermined by some fellow Christians who failed to engage their Muslim counterparts.

“We warned the leadership in my country, the Christian Association of Nigeria: ‘Let us listen to the Muslim leadership, because the leadership is not in support of Boko Haram.’

“‘Oh no no no,’ they said, ‘they are always deceiving us. They are all the same,’” he said.

I have always known that the sentiment shared by touts on the street is the same one shared with some of our leaders. So I am not surprised about some Christian leaders having such opinion. Did we not see our past president and his followers openly accusing Buhari of sponsoring the Boko haram? So it is truly pathetic to be at the receiving end of a foul belief.

Hogwash!!

So Boko haram are muslims? They failed to engage in dialogue with boko haram, therefore they went on a killing spree.

The Archbishop ended up indicting folks from the other side.
