WHO IS A REAL MUSLIM?

  Have you observed that when Muslims are killed extra judicially in any part of the world, even those who are not Muslims come out to condemn the act, but when Islamists kill innocent people who do not share the Muslim doctrine; Muslims never join in any public manifestation to condemn the act.




  I am appalled at how Nigerian Muslims come out to march on the streets of Nigeria, swearing vengeance when there is a problem against Muslims in far away Indonesia and they cannot come out when a terrorist group used their name to abduct and kidnap over 200 innocent Nigerian girls for more than 100 days and still counting or when they slaughter and kill innocent Nigerians for no just reason, in fact, I am still waiting to see Muslim groups in Nigeria march on the streets to condemn the barbarity that the Islamic state of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) are committing on innocent Christians in Iraq, does it mean that they are in support of this?




  Although many will be quick to say that the Islamists are not the real Muslims, but like all other Muslims, they also employ the “Allahu Akbar” (God is great) slogan before carrying out any act, so if the Muslims believe that the Islamists are tarnishing the name of their God or misinterpreting their religion, why is it that they are not prepared to fight them and restore the blameless name of Allah? I have seen Europeans, Americans and people from different parts of the world come together several times to show their anger on what is happening in Palestinian and even during the invasion of Iraq by the American and the allied forces, I have seen people from different parts of the world condemning the manner in which Muammar Gaddafi and Saddam Hussein were killed even though they do not like the way these two ruled their nations, what I have never witnessed is the manifestation of any Muslim nation in the face of any injustice perpetrated by any Islamist sect against innocent people in any part of the world. I may be wrong; maybe there has been some that I do not know of, please if you know any, feel free to share
