Borno State Governor, Kashim Shettima reponse to his partys position on Boko Haram!!! Happy reading!!! “Islam is a religion of peace which does not condone killing and destruction of lives under whatever form. “Distorted translation of the holy book by the insurgents landed us in this mess, if we have had good understanding of Islam, we would have been in a better state than now. “There is no room for extremism in Islam. We need to go back to Islam as practised by Prophet Muhammad when Islam encouraged Muslims, Jews and Christians to leave in peace with one another. “We are currently in a day where some lunatics claiming to be crusaders of Islam are killing innocent people, burning mosques and churches. It is bad interpretation of the holy book by the insurgents that caused all this.” I think this is a candid appreciation of the problem rather than the grandstanding route embarked upon by some notable northeners like Buhari, El rufai, Murtala Inyak, etc who will rather blame PGEJ for the BH insurgency than admit that things have taken a turn for the worse in the core north due to the wrong religious indoctrination of their youth!!!!
