Nigerian army Colonel says armed group tarnishes image of Islam
World Bulletin / News Desk

Blasting Boko Haram militants, a Nigerian senior military official has claimed that insurgents don’t know how to read the holy Quran and don't practice the religion that they claim committing atrocities in its name.

"Most of the Boko Haram terrorists captured by Nigerian Military cannot read the Holy Quran, some of them cannot even recite the first chapter- Suratuh Al-Fathiha, yet they claimed they want to establish an 'Islamic State'," acting director Army Public Relations, Colonel Sani Kukasheka Usman, wrote on Facebook.

Considering the acts of extremist group’s acts as "ironically shameful", the senior military official revealed that "when the Nigerian Military captured their bases and training camps, they never found Quran, Hadith or other Islamic literature."

"What they found were ammunitions, chams, condoms and all sort of drugs including sex enhancing drugs in their enclaves at Sambisa Forest, Borno, North Eastern Nigeria," officer Usman said.

Usman's Facebook post was shared hundreds of times by his followers who asserted that the armed group tarnishes the image of Islam.

Unfortunately the western media will not show this, its in their interest to bash muslims as much as possible.

Well there is a very solid reason why PA is training Nigerian Special Forces.

some of them cannot even recite the first chapter- Suratuh Al-Fathiha,

For the illiterate on this forum:

This means they dont know how to pray (2nd pillar of Islam) coz the 1st chapter is recited everytime in prayer!

I don't expect most of them to be capable of reading in general.

All of these fanatics, fighting in the name of Islam, have absolutely nothing do with Islam. Be it ISIS or Boko Haram, their actions contradict Islam, irrespective of their claims. But this is not something the media highlights, like @koolio said.

It's as I've said. Most people that join these organizations lack knowledge, and a lot of times even formal education. The leadership may be knowledgeable, but they tend to be well off themselves, and use poor people as foot soldiers to achieve their own goals.

I dont think the pimping leader knew much except what he was paid for ....

Some of them seem to be suffering from ADHD!

what do you expect from western media, do you think these groups are just accidentley created by itself. I think this is foolish to even talk about these groups...we don't need to defend our self, as far as Boko Haram goes, someone needs to defend Diamond trade since those child armies were getting too much bad publicity to Western Diamond Mafia

I expect alot of muslims cant read the Quran with literacy rates in the muslim world close to I think 40% illiteracy. Alot of arabs cant read the Quran either so when its Africa then its not a surprise.

considering they are fighting in the name of a religion you would expect them to have memorized it with understanding...

They understood it hence are doing it! That is how people are justifying them...that is the real Islam?

Something they havent read about nor practice....and they are linked to it and called the originals? Funny beyond reason!

Cant even recite Al fatiah shows they dont even pray...So non practicing are not the real Muslims!

Well that would be common sense / logical, but majority of these fanatics defy logic, for a very simple reason. They have nothing to do with Islam.
