As a Muslim, there's something that genuinely bothers me.
Millions of Muslims live in Christian majority countries, build mosques, preach Islam publicly, distribute Qur'ans, open halal businesses, and demand religious freedom,and rightly so.
Some even call for aspects of Shariah to be accommodated in the societies they've moved to.
Yet in some Muslim majority countries, Christians cannot openly preach the Gospel, build churches freely, or practice their faith without restrictions.
Why?
If we demand religious freedom for ourselves, we should be willing to grant it to others.
Truth does not need censorship.
If Islam is the truth, it has nothing to fear from a church, a Bible, or a Christian preacher.
You can't demand tolerance and freedom for Muslims abroad while denying the same freedoms to others at home.
The double standard needs to be called out.
VDM Claimed that when Shekau started around 2010, he disguised by claiming to attack only the Christians, which made him receive many muslims’ acceptance. And he backed this with a video of Shekau he claimed was made early 2000s and one in 2010. Then he further claimed Shekau came back few years later to include all other Muslims that are not with them as their target
This is a blatant lie and misrepresentation of fact. Was there really a time boko haram claimed to be attacking only Christians from onset?? Was it even Shekau that started Boko Haram?. The answer is a big NO. Boko Haram started as early as 2002 and was founded by Muhammad Yusuf Not Shekau. Attached is a link to a video made before he(yusuf) was executed still available on youtube.
https://t.co/Kzc2oDi5Rz. This is the link to the translation https://t.co/b5IaezA2zc This interrogation held as early as 2009. And you can read what Yusuf (the founder) was saying. Even in the face of the police.
My point.
There was never a time Boko Haram or Shekau claimed to attack only Christians just to get many Muslim’s support the way VDM was claiming and misrepresenting it. This is a very big lie and seems like just trying to create an agenda. The ideology of Boko Haram was very clear from the day it was founded. The only thing that increased with years was their violence level and media appearances. You can go online to access old newspapers or articles.
Here is a report where you’re going to find some of boko haram’s activity years before the 2010 VDM was insinuating they started.

The video of Shekau that VDM also brought where he mentioned about attacking “Christians generally” was a clipped out video. I cant find the full video atm, but to belie what he said, you go online and research yourself. Prior to “years after 2010” that VDM claimed Shekau made that video, then “started attacking Muslims”, Boko Haram were already killing both Muslims and Christians indiscriminately. The UN attack held 2011, the one of Kano was 2012. And many violent encounter with millitary far back as 2009.
To be continued….
Qatar has held a World Cup where everyone who could afford to attend attended, wait till it's the USA hosting and they will have visa restrictions even on the players themselves 😂.
Some colonies are doing better than others, but, ultimately, there is a direct link between global poverty and the Bretton Woods Financial system. It is a deliberate system that was built to decide which countries become rich and which ones remain poor.
This is very wrong. Any country that has a central bank, uses dollars to trade, and operates under the global financial system that was built by the west after world war 2 is still a colony till date. Every country on the planet is still under the colonial rule of the US.
Unraveling the Dangerous Myth Around Armed Berom Bandits or Militias in Plateau
By: Zagazola Makama
Every time troops recover another locally fabricated rifle from armed youths in Plateau, the same tired explanation immediately follows: “They are only defending themselves.”
Apparently, according to the President of the Berom Youth Moulders-Association (BYM) Barr. Dalyop Solomon Mwantiri, the loudest promoters of dangerous rhetoric that has continued to ignite mass violence across Plateau State.
The people now “defend themselves” with organized militia networks, coordinated night attacks, attack on the Nigerian Army Troops, cattle rustling syndicates, ambushes on highways and while piling up locally fabricated assault weapons hidden inside villages.
Interesting definition of self-defense.
The latest arrest of a Berom militia member in possession of a locally fabricated rifle in Barkin Ladi again exposes a reality many deliberately avoid discussing publicly. The weapon recovered was similar to the same category of fabricated rifles and arms earlier intercepted by troops of Operation Enduring Peace during raids on illegal arms production sites linked to militia activities in Plateau State.
But somehow, every recovery of illegal weapons is quickly rebranded as “community protection.” One almost expects people to believe these rifles manufacture themselves naturally inside village compounds purely for peaceful neighborhood watch activities.
