Muslims in Nigeria (Boko Haram)

[Sanali]

Assalamu alaikum,
Dear Brothers n Sister.
One question, is abouut what is happening here in Nigeria, there are some muslims who claim to be muslims, they formed a sect and named it "ahalul sunna wa jihad" But they where properly Know as "Boko Haram" which means acquiring weastern education is a sin. This people dont only go about preaching, but have weopones, they wage war against the goverment, killl for dere own gain,, and they like commiting suicide bombing, they bomb chruches, police station, maarkets and even mosquues, i even escaped a time bomb in a jumaat prayer.. They target many muslims scholars, espacially the sunni muslims scholars becauuse they oppose dere way. But still they make tapes, making islam in the eyes of Nigerian christians a barbaric religion. You can search youtube and see the ruthless things dey done to Nigeria and the named they cause islam. My question here is, do u actully think dis people are muslims, espacially the sucide bombing they usually commite.........

I cannot judge. There may be muslims in Boko Haram who hate what their fellow muslims are doing. However i do believe they are sinning greatly. Suicide is haram. Alot of hadiths clearly stating so. Radicals fail to differentiate between suicide and martyrdom. Suicide is where you kill yourself and martyrdom is where you know you're going to be killed by the enemy but still carry on fighting. The Prophet said aquire knowledge even if you have to go all the way to China (i think). This obviously shows that the place you get the education doesnt matter. We are supposed to preach beautifully...if you call someone's religion barbaric will they listen to you? You're not really supposed to wage war against the government unless they stop you from practising your religion and they are also trangressing limits by bombing churches, markets, mosques etc. So...yeah. I wouldnt want to be in Nigeria. I hope you stay safe.

Its nt metrydom, its sucide bombing, and a useless one, why?
Becuse most of there victims are innocent people... If what they teell is true, they only wage war with the Goverment, i admitte here Nigeria we have a corupte goverment, but why bomb innocent people.

I know. Thats why i said they cant tell the difference between suicide and martyrdom. As for why they do it. No idea. Some experts say revenge, some say exasperation.

I think the best way for them to achieve their goal,should be through democratic means ... forming a political party , If people are convinced to their agenda ,they will achieve their goal without shedding blood.

I seriously doubt the words democrat, democracy and diplomacy have ever crossed their minds

This people are foolls, okay lets jst agree with dere dogma...
Here Nigeria, dere two main regions, the Notherners mainly for the muslims (hausa & fulani tribe), the southerns mainly for the christian (igbos & yarubas).
We muslims lets agree to stay at home, no school, no work, lets marge with the women and do the households. Allow the christians to do all the school education, let them take full control of the govement.....

Pls tell me, wat do uu expert for our future, we muslims..
