It is really disgusting to see the 200 + school children abducted by the Boro Islamist group in Nigeria are still not released even after 3 weeks. The Pope at Vatican has already indicated his concern, so also some Western leaders including President Obama and just 2 days back Mrs. Obama expressed her motherly sentiments and while condemning this incident pleaded for the release of these innocent students.
Islam is a great religion of justice and compassion but those Islamists who abducted the students in Nigeria are doing a great disservice to the Islamic doctrine of justice and compassion by doing injustice to these students and not showing compassion at this hour to them.
By abducting these students the Boro Islamist group is creating a very bad image of Islam thereby giving an opportunity to the enemies of Islam to create a distorted image of it. If today the enemies of Islam are harping against Islam, it is only because of the Boro type of Islamists who are creating a bad image of this great religion. The real enemies of Islam are not Jews as Muslims believe but these Boro type of Islamists who instead of brightening the image of Islam are blackening it by taking young students as hostage. Islam does not say to commit such horrible acts in its name. Such acts are forbidden in Islam and on top of it this Boro group is functioning in the name of Islam. Shame on them for putting the genuine Muslims into a shame.
Abducting the students is one sin but on top of it threatening to sell them to the terrorists is the worst sin. Are these students commodities to sell them in the market of terrorists? Are these abductors heartless people? Don’t they have children for them? Why they don’t show compassion as indicated in Islam and release these students? Even Prophet Mohammed showed compassion to the captured Jewish soldiers and commanded to release them without doing any bodily harm to them.
It is surprising to note that there is not much campaign in the Islamic world for the release of these students. It looks the top Muslim leaders are silently watching this incident instead of condemning it and demanding immediate release of these young girls. Where Muslim world remained silent, Christian world under its Christian leaders made awakening by taking concrete steps to fight for justice for these young students. After all Justice is the central idea of Islam and ironically Christians are fighting for this Justice even though the central idea of Christianity is Love.
