Boco Haram

Post #1

Post by Joab »

In Nigeria on Friday Boco Haram, an islamic organisation, kinapped more than 200 school girls and are now threatening to sell them as sex slaves.

Do you think that they will limit their customers to muslims or will they deal with infidels as well?

Since this group is operating with the declared intent to strengthen Islam, it is incumbent upon the imams and leaders of Islam to publicly react. If a fatwa is not issued against Boco Haram then Islam will have no credibility among civilized people.

The good news for Islam, is that at least one Nigerian imam has done just that back in 2012, although not for the current spate of kidnapping. Fatwa by Muhammad Abdul Islam Ibrahim

Where is the outcry from the Muslim world?

Yep. It's time for the leaders in the Muslim world to step up and handle this one. Where's the outrage from Islam? We aren't we seeing mass protests from the muslims that this behavior is unacceptable? Why hasn't Saudi Arabia sent in a task force, already?

America should NOT get involved but INSIST on involvement from "Muslim Countries."

Hello and happy new year
I am a muslim from morocco
1st thing there is many official fatawa about boko haram
2nd thing i dont think muslims have to come out with fatwa and explications to anyone the fact that the criminal group has declared to be muslim dosent make it true if someone said in the name of jesus i kill all the jews would the christians be obliged to issue an official statement to deny it it is clear that this is a group of misguided revels using islam to get to the local population who sadly for the economic problems and language difference tend to have only basic knowledge about islam so they are easily influenced by these groups to recruit more people but the bottom line is money and it has nothing to do with islam or the other 1.2 muslims in the world who most of probably never even heard of the group
And we tend not to interfere in other countries problems since we have the same problem plus sadly we do not have the means to do so even if we want
