Show Proof That Boko Haram Members Are Not Muslims, CAN Tells OIC

The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) has debunked claims by the Organisation of Islamic Countries (OIC) that Boko Haram members and their activities are anti-Islam.

CAN Secretary General, Musa Asake, said on Tuesday that such statements cannot be true given the antics and antecedents of the Boko Haram sect.

“If they said they are not Muslims, they should meet with Boko Haram because the sect had told the whole world that they are Muslims, that they want to upturn Nigeria constitution and put in place sharia Superintendent of Police (SP),” Asake told Thisday.

“These are Muslims; it is not only in Nigeria, look at other Islamic countries, there are killings also. If they are rejecting Boko Haram. It is not on paper, while the people are doing the havoc. They should tell us the steps and actions they have taken to show that Boko Haram are anti-Islam.”

CAN’s Director of National Issues, Sunday Oibe, also said that nobody would believe OIC in view of the atrocities committed by Boko Haram sect in the name of Islam.

“They proclaim Islam; it is for them (OIC) to go and sort themselves out. These are people who have been taught and radicalised by Islamic clerics. In fact, we are suspecting the OIC.

“Boko Haram proclaims Islam, Koran and want to enthrone Sharia in Nigeria. So who is fooling who? They are Muslims as far as we are concerned,” he said.

Oibe further maintained that CAN is completely opposed to the participation of OIC in the forthcoming inter-faith conference billed to take place in Nigeria.

“We don’t want OIC again in Nigeria, they like coming through the back door, we don’t need OIC to organise inter-faith conference in Nigeria,” he said.

  1. Boko Haram leader Shekau has quoted dozens of verses from Koran and hadith to support each of their actions and believe and it will only be right for anyone claiming Boko Haram is un-Islamic to provide enough evidence (verses from he Koran and Hadith) to proof their claim. I wish to call on any cleric with evidence to proof that Boko Haram is Un- islamic to come forth with his evidence or else Boko Haram will call him Hyocrites.

  3. Let us gather our powerful pastors and reverend fathers to lead us with holy gost fire prayer to zambisa forest to conquer Boko Haram. I believe our pastors can do it becos no weapon fashioned against christains shall prosper. Christainity is a religion of peace and not of darkness and evil like the muslims, so let our government use the pastors to fight Boko Haram, since all other effort has not yield any positive result.

  4. @gen ab, all terrorist r muslims hun?…ok.. LRA of uganda, were dey muslims?…kkk were dey muslims, nazis were dey muslims…dis 3 set alone hv killed ova 7million of pple. Dey were all Christians fa#derisGodooo

  5. The fact that BH quotes verses of Al-Qurian or claimed that they are muslims is not enough to prove that they are muslims.
    One thing is sure,you can not be wise than he who is monitoring you without your consent.The question is was all the claims of BH in d Qurian?
    People should seek for knowledge by pick a copy of english Qurian and read without sentiment there you will be able to decode the truth about islam.
    Therefore,only a fool will still be having the believe that BH are muslims or when they carried out Iyanya bombing did they separate muslims from christians?
    Was emir of Gwuzo that was killed a christian?
    People should just leave out sentiment and support govt. to see out the problem.

  6. With no dout abt wat is currently goin in my country nd also affecting islam and muslims.the world of christain are calling muslims terorrist day by day and also condeming islam, to my greatest surprise the rate at which chriustain are cconverting to islam is so superb and this converters are people of highest interlect,our major problem in nigeria is ignorance and CAN cos wat dey said expose their interest in the activities of boko haram.we have many past aways christain that have killed many soul bt no 1 is called a terrorist.OIC knows wat islam is all abt,if they can be denied and lack support from CAN den most probe their innocence and give probes of there denial cos I knw most CAN leaders knows a bit abt islam unless dere also ignorance den dat defines them to be fools leading idiots.Isalam is a religion of peace I do strobngly believe in dat,if u don’t go to hell,all I wnt is peace and total peace.we knw of many bombs that whre planted in bayelsa,osun and odat state nd the members of church wre caught as the victims bt no muslim has been caught and the world know abt him,we only hearing names,for instance the secretary of can is called Musa nd dats an islamic name,if he should commit any offence he wil be called muslim.give us probes why you called muslims by arresting dem and let’s our clerics interrogate dem abt their knowledge of islam and we shall see hu wil lose or win.

  7. Look @ u,i wll nt blame u bcos ur thinking is guided by myopic philosophy, u need to go back n study d modern ideology squarely may be in d future u wll nt talk traditionally lastly u need to be confident n contented in ur believe without fear of untold put transferency ink in ur pen talk biblically we r nt ignorant if u seem.

  8. @sunday or monday or wateva ur filthy name is, CAN nd Christians cannot prevent OIC from coming to Nigeria cox Muslims constitute the larger percentage of Nigerians and as such, we have every right to bcome affiliated to a muslim organisation wether with or without boko haram. CAN is nothing but bunch of morons dat extort money from their followers in their respective dancing halls (churches).

  10. @AMINU U AR A BARTARD WHO TOLD U DAT MUSLIMS AR MORE IN NUMBA? 45% OF NORTHERNERS AR CHRISTIANS WHILE OVER 80% OF D SOUTH AR CHRISTIANS. D IGBOS WITH OVER 50 MILLION PEOPLE HAS LES DAN 100 THOUSAND MUSLIMS. D WEST HAS 75% CHRISTIANS. D SOUTH SOUTH HAS OVA 7O% CHRISTIANS. WHY HAS D MUSLIMS REFUSED TO ALLOW RELIGION COUNT DURING CENSUS?

  11. But d muslims refused 2 allow religion and tribe count during census why? ova 65% of nigerians ar christians. it is in only in about 7 states dat muslims outnunber christians. so MUSLIMS stop decieving urself

  12. nonsense. how many times christeins are caught putting bomb, and they were realise are christeins not muslim. so boka haram can be possibly two religion. why will muslim northerners put bomb and kill there bretherens, unless it was another religion. all this happen in the north.

  14. Please CAN should go and stop causing a religious propaganda. Is it everybody that is carrying the bible that are Christian?. The truth that boko haram quote from quran does not make them Muslims, nor are they carrying out the wishes of Islams a religion. No religion has ever preach violence. CAN as a body should not incite people to wrong thinking or misled the innocent minds of Nigerians and the world.

  15. FRANK ND GEN. AB U AR AS FOOLS AS CAN LEADERS. DAN UBANKU.was Hitler a muslim?was Castro a muslim? and MUSLIM hv d highest number in 9ja.d percentage of MUSLIM in 9ja is 65%.and remember,christians ar converting 2 ISLAM in great number nd is very rare 2 hear MUSLIM convertin 2 christian.BH ar sponsored by some christians bcoz a gr8 number of christian ar caught wit bomb.frank u nd ur stupid bh wil surely fall.dia is no single day dat a christian wil NOT bcom a MUSLIM.Y ar ur ppl always leavin christianity 4 ISLAM.

  16. Christianity & bible are nothing but a bunch of doom animals that is misguided by pieces of man made textbook. I’m serving Allah not a god in bible that regret after the creation of earth.
    CAN & their brothers boko haram can’t wage war against Islam.

  17. U PEOPLE KNOW THE TRUTH BUT U COVER IT.THE MESSAGE PASSED BY ISLAMIC RELIGIOUS IS PEACE ISLAM IS THE FAVOUR UPON MANKIND AND ISLAM PREACH FRIENDSHIP UNFORTUMATELY HAVE MANY ENEMY…..AND WHOMESOEVER ALLAH WILLS TO GUIDE,HE OPENS HIS BREAST TO ISLAM,AND WHOMSOEVER HE WILLS TO SEND ASTRAY,HE MAKES HIS BREAST CLOSED AND CONSTRICTED,AS IF HE IS CLIMBING UP THE SKY.THUS ALLAH PUTS THE WRATH ON THOSE WHO BELIEVE NOT

  18. i observe dat whenever u criticise islam based on their constant vexed character, they simply pick on u wit unprintable name calling n insults directed at ur person, n they almost compel u to tk to their side of view dat islam is a peaceful religion. d christians never said boko haram are muslims, it is boko haram dat call themselves ‘true muslims’ and to dis end, they want to convert everyone to their religion by force. d christians are only afirming d very obvious, why insult p’ple 4 quoting u right? d reason y bh kill muslims is bcos they, (bh) feel betrayed. they feel dat these p’ple refused to join dem to fght d ‘just’ war. if u are nt among bh as a good muslim then u must step out and condemn dem. i agree there are good n bad muslims. hwever dis is an islamic war ur reputation is at stake all u need do now is fight to win back ur good name. insulting everyone will do no good at a time like dis.

  19. @DAN JIGAWA U HAV PROVED ME RIGHT DAT MUSLIMS AR BLOOD SUCKERS ALWAYS SHEDING BLOOD. C U UR GRAND PA KILED TONS OF PPLE UR FADA KILED UR MAMA KILED AND U WIL ALSO KIL. ITS NOT UR FAULT, KILING IN UR BLOOD. LINAGE OF HEARTLES KILERS. BUT Y AR U BLOOD TASTY?

MAY THUNDER STRIKE U DOWN AND WIPE UR GENARATION FOR PILOTING EVIL MILITANTS BH. ANU OHIA. NEXT YR WIL DETEMINE NIGERIA.

  21. @Tmon19net, I SUSPECT U AR D SPOKES PERSON OF MUSLIMS DAT USES HUMAN BLOOD 4 SACRIFICE. BH IS MUSLIMS AND MUSLIMS AR TERRORISTS. HOW MANY MOSQUE HAS BEEN BOMBED BY BHARAM AND HOW MANY CHURCHES HAS BEEN BOMBED BY BH? WAT AR THEY FIGHTING TO ACHIEVE? BCOS A CHRISTIAN IS D PRESIDENT, DIS IS MORNING. EWU.

  22. I don’t Knox when CAN turned a political association,i believe CAN knows something about Boko Haram and gains from it.Since CAN now know more than IOC,it should tell us how act and actions of BH is islamic rather BH mode operandi is like thé xtians,i don’t to tell you how muslims were killed enmass in spain in thé 12th century,look at what is happening in Palestine, tell me which islamic country is political stabilized is either truncated by association like CAN or by external forces like US using UN to gain support.As far as am concern,BH,CAN,US and UN are thé same.

  23. OIC denying or ostracizing Boko Haram is ok but unfortunately came too late. At the early stage of attacks on churches by BH, muslims in my area were excited with such news.
    Their activities may be unislamic, but their doctrines are.
    Their activities are unislamic as claimed, lets wait a little, God will expose their sponsor openly.
    The actor and the sponsor may have a good affiliation to proof where they belong.

    Nevertheless, whatever religion BH and all terrorist may belong, they and their activities does not portray any of the religion.

    God’s message to mankind is REPENT FROM YOUR WICKED WAYS AND BE SAVED. GOD’S KINGDOM IS AT HAND. TOMORROW MAY BE TOO LATE.

    “FOR GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD THE HE GAVE HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON(JESUS CHRIST), THAT ANYONE WHO BELIEF SHALL NOT PERISH BUT HAVE EVERLASTING LIFE”

  24. If u say jesus (a.s) is Gods begotten son cos he had no father, den Adam is a bigger son of god cos he had no fada nor a mother neither Eve subhannAllah!. Allah is free of all want and he commands n say be and it happens. Jesus is no different frm other prophets of Allah. Your salvation lies wit Allah not Jesus!….all dis problems happenin r d work of jews!…n few Christians! Shikenan!
