Chibok abduction extra: 7 reasons Boko Haram members are not muslims

1. Boko Haram kidnapped girls and forced them to change their religion. This is not Islam. According to the Quran, Allah says: “Let there be no compulsion in religion.” -2:256

2. The sect members have forcefully married off girls, which contradicts what Allah says: “Do not inherit women against their will.” – 4:19

3. Boko Haram members are aggressive towards those who do not follow their beliefs. But Islam says: ‘If it had been your Lord’s will, all of the people on earth would have believed [in one religion] – (Qu’ran 10:99).

4. The dreaded sect members have murdered thousands of Muslims and Christians alike in cold blood. But in Islam, Allah says, “…if anyone slew a person – unless it be for murder or for spreading mischief in the land – it would be as if he slew the whole people: and if any one saved a life, it would be as if he saved the life of the whole people.”- (Quran 5:32).

5. Boko Haram followers use the cover of Islam to commit mayhem and claim they are doing God’s work. Islam says: “…but do not transgress limits; for God loveth not transgressors.”-(Qur’an 2:190).

6. Boko Haram members believe once you are not with them you are an enemy to them.

Islam says: “O mankind! We created you from a single (pair) of a male and a female, and made you into nations and tribes, that ye may know each other (not that ye may despise each other)” – Quran 49:13.

7. The Bokos have unleashed tyranny and indecency in the land. However, Islam says: “God commands justice and doing good and giving to relatives. And He forbids indecency and doing wrong and tyranny”(Quran 16:90).
