Failed Holy men. “It’s hard to know what’s more disturbing: the barbaric sectarian murders by Bokoharam or the deafening silence with which these mass murders are received in the Muslim world,” “Where are the Muslims and Northerners Leaders ? Where is the ‘Million Muslim March’ under the banner: ‘No More killings, No More Bombing, No More Bokoharam We are all children of the Prophet Muhammad.’” Spiritual leaders ,Head of States and Governors have done little to calm the tension. In fact, it may be argued that if there is one element in the Northern Lands that has kept compromise at arm’s length, it has been the uncompromising radical rigidity of influential religious figures. Where, indeed, are the clerical voices preaching for rapprochement, for understanding, for compromise? Men have failed the Land. Men are ruining the Land. A holy man who sanctifies killing, who lobbies for war, is not fighting God’s war. He is fighting God. That holy man’s word is not God’s word. The moment the holy man mixes religion and war, he declares war on religion. The moment the holy man mixes religion and politics, he casts a decisive vote against religion itself. Religion cannot co-opt politics. Outward appearances notwithstanding, when religion and politics meet, religion is always the loser. Politics by its nature always corrupts religion, bending it into something else! Using it as tool. Breaking the good in it. Milking the bad in it. Our holy men have failed us. All of us. We need prophets, and are stuck with self-adoring politicians. Our holy men have failed God. May God have mercy on us. May God find some way to replace them, because the so called Holy men are of no to God and the Land.
