Boko Haram Abductors, Killers Are Terrorists and Thus the Worst Enemies of Islam and Global Peace-Environment

The terrorist outfit
Boko Haram has been very active in concocting Islamic teachings since
2009, becoming one of the worst enemies of Islam. In recent months, it
has ruthlessly killed thousands of Nigerians, both Christian and Muslim.
On 14 April, by abducting a reported 276 schoolgirls aged between 16
and 18 from rural Chibok village in the north-eastern Borno state, the
Boko Haram terrorist organization has earned the ire of people around
the world.
Boko Haram has deep
ties with al-Qaeda, Taliban and a number of transnational terrorist
groups throughout the world. All of them are detrimental to global
peace-environment. But what has made Nigerian terrorists more prominent
among all its like-minded allies is that they have taken the slander
against Islam to a different level. This is largely due to the recent
case of kidnapping in which they seem to have established a sort of link
between Islam and kidnapping and selling of young Muslim girls.
It is hard to put into
words the searing pain and bitter cry of Nigerian mothers owing to
abductions of their daughters. They have lost the precious gifts of
Allah Almighty i.e. their daughters. Stricken with sorrow, hunger,
thirst, these women are holding nationwide protests all day long and
waiting for any ray of hope to bring back their beloved daughters whose
only "fault" was that they were studying in schools. Their hearts break
for their teenage daughters and are living each passing moment in
escalating fear, with uncertainty whether they will ever see them again.
The Nigerian government has woken up very late.
Boko Haram leader
Shekau, a delusional man of ruthless actions threatened to sell hundreds
of girls his group abducted and marry them off because "God instructed
me to sell them, they are his properties and I will carry out his
instructions." How false Shekau is when referring to the name of God for
justifying abductions and forced marriages of the teenage girls. Does
the global community still need to decide whether such vices are of
Islam or of terrorism or they should unanimously eradicate such
abductors from the face of the earth for good?
