Shocking Confessions From Ex-boko Haram Who Converted To Christianity. Alleged Ibb Is The Major Spon - Politics - Nigeria

It's a bit lengthy, but it Sheds some light on their way of thinking, their motivations, and some rather disturbing Islamic beliefs and orders.

Here is just a snippet of it.

"Q: What does the Qur’an say about Islam
being referred to as a religion of peace by
numerous Muslim scholars?
A: Let me tell you in a very clear language
that Islam is not a religion of peace, but it is
of violence, of killers and fighters as already
stated in their so called “Holy” Qur’an which
I ignorantly followed all these years when I
was spiritually blinded as a Muslim.
Q: Can you prove these statements from the
Qur’an?
A: [Sani Haliru, who is now known as
Solomon Haliru (Paul Haliru’s brother)]
brought out two copies of the original
Qur’an in the Arabic & English translation. He
gave me one, and told me to open the book
to Surah Al- baqarah chapter 2 vs 216. It
says, “Holy fighting is ordained (prescribed)
for all muslims, whether they like it or not,
as far as it is good and approved by Allah
through his prophet Mohammed.”
Q: Where is it in the Qur’an that killing is also
permitted by Allah?
A: Look at Surah Al-baqarah chapter 2 vs
191 “And kill them wherever you find them,
and turn them out from where they have
turned you out. An Al-Fitnah is worse than
killing. And fight not with them at Al-Masjid-
Al-Haram (the sanctuary at Makkah), unless
they (first) fight you there. But if they
attack you, then kill them. Such is the
recompense of the disbelievers.” Muslims
are told to kill and fight in the cause of Allah."

A: What I mean is that they (Muslims-both
rich and poor) are told to use their position
of wealth (or otherwise) to promote Islam
or else they will face destruction from Allah.
Q: Where can you find this in the Qu’ran?
A: Open Surah Al-Baqarah Chapter 2:195, it
is written here that you must use your
wealth to champion Jihad of all kinds or else
destruction is waiting for such a person on
the last day.
“And spend in the Cause of Allah (i.e. Jihad
of all kinds) and do not throw yourselves
into destruction (by not spending your
wealth in the Cause of Allah), and do good.
Truly, Allah loves Al-Muhsinun (the good-
doers).”

It's interesting and worth the lengthy read.
