President Muhammadu Buhari says Muslims are the most victims of Boko Haram insurgency.

Mr Buhari stated this on Monday in an opinion article published on Christianity Today.

The Islamic terror group is said to be fighting for the islamization of the country which is a secular state.

But in the article, the president who recently said he was surprised at the continuous existence of the terror group, dismissed the notion that the terrorists were after Christians, saying most of the victims of the terrorists are muslims and that Boko Haram seeks to use religion in dividing Nigerians.

“Indeed, it is the reality that some 90 percent of all Boko Haram’s victims have been Muslims: they include a copycat abduction of over 100 Muslim schoolgirls, along with their single Christian classmate; shootings inside mosques; and the murder of two prominent imams. Perhaps it makes for a better story should these truths, and more, be ignored in the telling,” Buhari claimed.

“It is a simple fact that these now-failing terrorists have targeted the vulnerable, the religious, the non-religious, the young, and the old without discrimination. And at this point, when they are fractured, we cannot allow them to divide good Christians and good Muslims from those things that bind us all in the sight of God: faith, family, forgiveness, fidelity, and friendship to each other.

“Yet sadly, there is a tiny, if vocal, minority of religious leaders—both Muslim and Christian—who appear more than prepared to take their bait and blame the opposite religious side. The terrorists today attempt to build invisible walls between us. They have failed in their territorial ambitions, so now instead they seek to divide our state of mind, by pulling us from one from another—to set one religion seemingly implacably against the other.

“Translated into English, boko haram means “Western teachings are sinful.” They claim as “proof” passages of the Quran which state that Muslims should fight “pagans” to be justification for attacks on Christians and those Muslims who hold no truck with them. They are debased by their willful misreading of scripture—at least those of them who are able to read at all,” the president’s article partly read.

But a former Aviation Minister, Femi Fani-Kayode, is not buying the idea of the president.

Describing the claim of the president as a lie, Mr Fani-Kayode said the terror group alongside Fulani militia are targeting Christians in the country.

“This is a lie.The overwhelming majority of communities that BH targets are Christian,” the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) chieftain said in a tweet on Tuesday.

“The same with the Fulani militias.The killing of Christians in Nigeria is a common blood sport which shall continue as long as Buhari is President,” he added.

And muslims own Boko Haram.

Hello Buhari,

How about Muslims avoiding anything that has to do with terrorism completely?

Thanks in anticipation for your change of attitude.

Yours Sincerely
Special Adviser.

if Boko haram kills and kidnap 80 Muslims media becomes silent, but let them kill one christian the whole world go hear, them go heavily blaickmail muslims as if we are not all victims

Bible contains gruesome things yet no muslim cares about them

Ephesians 5:22, "Wives, submit to you husbands as to the Lord"; and similar advice for slaves in 1 Peter 2:18: "Slaves, submit yourselves to your masters with all respect, not only to the good and gentle but also to the cruel."

Psalm 137 :"Happy is he who repays you for what you have done to us / He who seizes your infants and dashes them against the rocks."

Exodus 22:18: "Do not allow a sorceress to live."

Samuel 15:3 'Now go and strike Amalek and devote to destruction all that they have. Do not spare them, but kill both man and woman, child and infant, ox and sheep, camel and donkey

stupid. So this is all he could come up with. It is a shame.

One wouldn't scream blue murder when his dog bites him na

I think the president is being economical with the truth.

In truth, the percentage of Muslim victims exceeds 98%, and also we now know that most of the bombing of Churches are carried out by christians to create the false impression of persecution.

There goes the foolish man Nigeria is so unfortunate to have as president.Who cares which faith-based people are most affected though it's a well known truth that BH, Fulani & other terrorists fully get their ideological inspiration from the Koran?

This is how the government have stupidly kept on comparing the number of deaths between it & its predecessors.The no-1 constitutional responsibility of govt is to provide security of lives & property.All lives matter.

Where are all the people who voted for him. Here is their change and next level. How can someone be trying to twist the open truth. Who does he want to deceive?His ancestors perhaps. His days are numbered.

Defenders of Boko Haram everywhere

So says a terrorist. Taqiyya is the working policy of buhari's islamist regime.

Indirectly, Buhari is telling Christians not to complain as Muslims are mostly affected by boko haram insidious activities.

Pray, tell how does this warped reasoning solve the unabating insecurity in the country ?

A dullard will always be a dullard.
