Boko Haram Leader Claims God Commands Him To Sell Women

Re: Boko Haram Leader Claims God Commands Him To Sell Women

Oho! I did not include you in those ‘some people’. I was telling you that there are some people who have this negative attitude to associate every event like this with Islam and Muslims. Gave an example of post 30 to make my point clear. I even made clear what the essence of all my posts was. It is directed towards those who generalize or stereotype.

Now, as general comment:

I do not tell people what to post or whether to engage in discussion with me. I leave that choice upon the poster. All I have is my right how to take posts either seriously or be entertained as I do most often. :slight_smile:

Not sure how many would consider Let or Sipah e sahaba as established religious leaders. I am not even aware of what they said, agreed with these criminals or not… nor I muself care nor majority Muslims do. But don’t you think we have to have their agreement to these crimes on record before we can even speculate?

I was reading one article where someone asked Al-azhar should unite with others and denounce these acts.
Muslim world

And then this comes up on searching Al-Azhar and their denouncement.

This mindset of assuming silence being equal to agreement seems very attractive but in reality it is flawed.

If we start taking this to be true then we should also talk about a lot of unfortunate events and atrocities in the world occurred during last century or so. Millions of people died before an action was taken. And a large portion of the world was ‘silent’ until it was too late. Does not mean all those who did not say anything or had menas to say something somehow agreed with those horrible events.

Like me, others shown the condemnation is widespread, however.

Absolutely! Condemnation means nothing by itself, I will add.

Now coming to action:

Yes, action has to be taken.

But by who? If we think Muslim countries by any means are capable to do it then it will not be right.

It is Nigerians who have the first and foremost responsibility as you mention them first.

And Nigerian officials have not only condemn this but have been struggling themselves how to handle the situation.

They have placed bounty on these people.

It is not possible to take risk in jeopardizing the lives of people further,… by acting without making efforts by other means. Like negotiation first.

You might want to read this:

https://www.amnesty.org/en/news/nigeria-deaths-hundreds-boko-haram-suspects-custody-requires-investigation-2013-10-15

It says hundreds of people were killed under custody of Nigerian Govt. when they were suspected of related to Boko Haram group. And Amnesty International wants to investigate these deaths.

There is the dilemma. On one hand there is demand of doing action and there is a charge of unnecessary killing.

Nigerians then have to be very careful one might expect. Anything they do will be scrutinized.

I do not see anywhere when someone opposed the rhetoric but a very good question was asked why not talk about the boys?

The thread you talked about earlier was posted in WA. Sorry to say it is a slow forum in general. I read it only seldom. Plus it was started by someone who has a tract record of starting these kind of threads in PA, WA and AV. I know a weak argument but still true. :slight_smile:

Anyhow, people who did not post even after reading do not necessarily agreed with these criminals posing to be Muslims.
