The Vice Chairman of the Muslims Pilgrim Welfare Board in Cross River State, Sheikh Bature Abdulkadir has said that activities of the Boko Haram sect are criminal and un-Islamic.
Sheikh Abdulkadir, who is also the chief imam of the mosque in the University of Calabar said, “How can members of this group say that everything from the West is bad or un-Islamic.
How can they condemn Western education when Prophet Mohammed urged the early followers of Islam to go all the way even up to China which was not even an Islamic country to obtain education? If they condemn everything from the West, what of the phones they are using to communicate, the bombs they detonate to destroy lives and property, and the cars they drive.”
