Islamic scholars in Nigeria have warned the Boko Haram sect to
desist from portraying themselves as Muslims, describing their action as
“mere propaganda aimed at giving Islam a bad name”.
The National Secretary of Jama atul Nasil Islam, Shiekh Kalith
Aliyu, and the National Chairman Council of Ulamah of Jama atul Izala wa
Ikamatus Sunna, Shiek Sani Yahaya Jingir, took this position on Tuesday in Jos, the Plateau State capital.
They described as “rubbish” the propaganda by the sect associating their devilish act with Islamic religion.
On his part, Aliyu, the National Secretary of JNI, opined: “Even
the Christians in the country have known that the group do not stand for
Islam, describing them as ‘Satanic’.
“Efforts by the group to create fear on the minds of average
Northerners has been uncovered and people will now fight the Boko Haram.
“Muslims in the region are instructed to join hands with their
Christian counterparts to resist whatever tactics adopted by Boko Haram
to create confusion in the country.
“They initially wanted to fool Nigerian Muslims when they
emphasized on our basic problems with Christians in the country but we
now know that they have a separate agenda to ridicule Islamic religion.”
On his part, Jingir, the National Chairman of JIBWIS, explained:
“The current awareness by both Muslims and Christians on their worthless
propaganda is now clear to all of us.”
