IMAM Abu Muhammad Shekau, the leader of the Jama’atu Ahlis Sunnati Lidda’awati Wal Jihad, also known as Boko Haram, yesterday said Muslim clerics under the umbrella of the Jama’atu Nasril Islam (JNI) and the Nigeria Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs (NSCIA) are not competent to speak on behalf of the Nigerian Muslims.
Shekau in a statement which was made available to newsmen yesterday wondered why the clerics and Muslim leaders will speak when Christians were attacked on Christmas day but refused to take similar action when many Muslims were surrounded and killed in a mosque in Jos during Sallah celebration in September 2011.
Shekau said the Muslim leaders “are on their own” adding that the condemnation of the Christmas blasts does not represent the true feeling of Nigerian Muslims.
Quite interesting.....The question now who are they really fighting for and who is qualified to speak in terms of Islamic affairs in Nigeria?
