Terror sect Boko Haram has been described by Saudi Arabia’s
grand mufti as a group “set up to smear the image of Islam” in the
modern world.
Sheikh
Abdulaziz Al al-Sheikh blasted the group, saying it's wish to establish
a “pure” islamic state in the Nigeria is “misguided” and they should
change their way and learn the truth.
He said this as Muslims
around the world stood up to denounce the recent statement by Abubakar
Shekau (Boko Haram Leader) , Shekau had said that Allah had spoke to him
and told him sell off the kidnapped girls.
The grand Mufti said:
“This is a group that has been set up to smear the image of Islam and
must be offered advice, shown their wrong path and be made to reject
it,”.
“These groups are not on the right path because Islam is
against kidnapping, killing and aggression,” he said. “Marrying
kidnapped girls is not permitted.”
Not only the grand mufti but
also the Islamic scholars and human rights officials of the Organisation
of Islamic
Cooperation, the world’s largest Muslim body representing 57
countries described the kidnappings as “a gross misinterpretation of
Islam”.
The grand mufti is the top religious authority in the birthplace of Islam.
