The National Christian Elders Forum in a statement released on Wednesday has attributed three main reasons for the recent attacks on Christians in northern Nigeria by muslims.
What the nation is witnessing today can be attributed to three immediate factors:
1. The doctrine of hatred that was used to indoctrinate Almajiris in the various Islamic Madrassas in the North where Muslims were deliberately taught to hate Christians and people of other faiths.
2. The concept of “sacred space” in which Islamists believe, for example, that the road leading to their mosque belongs exclusively to them. The “sacred space” concept is applied to every area in which Islamism has traveled. The belief is that all land on earth has been given by Allah to Muslims and it is theirs by right, to stage a Jihad to retake them.
3. The result of one Nation operating two political systems of Democracy and Sharia.
The christian elders added that Nigeria is witnessing a recurring decimal of violence as a result of narrow minded religious indoctrination and the onus is on Muslim leaders in the country to take steps to reverse this anomaly in the best interest of everyone.
"No country can make progress and live in peace when a section of the population is consumed with hatred for other citizens," it said.
