It was a fresh lease of life for more than two hundred girl
children kidnapped and hidden somewhere in Nigeria for the last several months
by the ultra-militant outfit Boko Haram. It is certain that the Nigerian govt
had to bow down before the leaders of Boko Haram for freeing the children in
return for a huge ransom by the govt. Otherwise such a gesture wouldn’t have
extended towards the govt by the ruthless terror outfit which went on a killing
spree of tens of thousands of lives with the sole aim of establishing an
Islamic fiefdom in Nigeria.
It’s determination to form a govt of their own is still unchanged
and hence we could very well accept the truth that they would run roughshod across Nigeria killing innumerable Nigerians
in future also. Likewise the kidnapping. The ruthless terror outfit nurtures a
belief that girl children should be married off to the Nigerian men as per the
principles of Islamic religion. How come they came out with such an absurd
belief from the Holy book of Quran? According to them education is being denied
to the girl child and women and it is only the prerogative of man. The first
and foremost step is getting them married off and producing as many children as possible. The Islamic
women are even forbidden to come outside their houses and talk to other men
since that too is against the Islamic principles. Similarly they should wear
burqa 24 X 7.
Whether Nigeria is likely to fall into the hands of Boko
Haram in the not too distant future? Let us leave the billion dollar question to
time.
If in Nigeria it is the Boko Haram, in West Asia it is a far
stronger Islamic State (IS) which was carved out of Iraq and Syria. Abubaker-Al-Bagdadi,
the leader of Islamic State (IS) is in the saddle proclaiming himself the
Caliph of the jihadist state. It has already claimed hundreds of thousands of
Iraqis, kurds and Syrians. With Islamic State moving ahead with massacring
innumerable citizens, Iraq pleaded with United States to intervene and teach
the IS a lesson with sophisticated weapons and on listening to the pleas of
Iraq, US has already intervened, bombarded continuously over the harshest
terrains of the so-called Islamic State(IS) and killed thousands of terrorists
with an aim of flushing out the leaders of IS (Islamic State) who are safely
embedded inside the safest havens. US which is on the look out for so-called
Caliph Abubaker-Al-Bagdadi and his followers has not succeeded in tracing out
them so far but with a vow to capture him at any cost along with British and
Kurdish assistance. Still, he is at large like Mulla Omar of Afghanistan. The
Islamic State (IS) jihadists have already beheaded four gentlemen, two of them
freelance journalists and other two aid workers, in cold-blood which were
captured in videos and displayed before the world citizens with the purpose of terrorizing
them. The fight is going on and so far the elements of Islamic State have not
shown any signs of defeat.
Today’s newspapers
carry a news item regarding the expulsion of the Pakistani militant
outfit Tehreek-E-Taliban spokesman Shahid-Al-Shahid
for declaring his support to Islamic State with which Tehreek-E-Taliban doesn’t
maintain good relationship.
Interpretation of Quran by various militant elements are
confusing to a common man like me. What about others? We will have to inquire……
