A barbaric, terrorist act of which I utterly condemn

May 10, 2014 Letters

DEAR EDITOR,
I stared with sadness and disgust at the horrible news of nearly 300 hundred school girls abducted on April 14, 2014 in Nigeria’s North-Eastern Borno State, West Coast Africa, as schools were opened for students to prepare for their final exams.
What is the crime these innocent children committed? Why do they have to endure this horror? Who are these barbarian abductors; these beasts of the un-Godliness operating under the banner of Islam?
The kidnappings three-and-a-half weeks ago by the extremist group called Boko Haram have raised a worldwide outcry and condemnation. The group leader has used the distorted teachings of Islam for justification of his actions and threatens to sell the girls into slavery.
This crime and the crimes committed by the likes of these extremist organizations contradicts and violates all humanitarian principles and moral values and violates the Sharia laws of Islam and the sacred teachings of the Holy Qu’ran and of Prophet Muhammad – may peace be upon him.
This is a barbaric, terrorist act of which I utterly condemn as I echo the call for the perpetrators and their affiliates to be brought to justice and treated with the full force of the United Nations – International Human Rights Law.
The hearts of God-fearing and God-conscious people around the world are bleeding and we hope and pray that the children will be rescued or freed and reunited with their parents and loved ones in Nigeria. Our sympathy and prayers are extended to the children, their parents and relatives who are traumatized at this moment as a result of this heinous crime. I pray that God – Almighty has mercy on all of us and causes us to be just people.
Nazar Mohamed
