Yesterday monday,the Nigeria Minister of Foreign Affairs Geoffrey Onyeama has said that the Nigeria's Membership of the Islamic coalition against terror has nothing to do with religion.The minister blamed the media for not being responsible enough in the presentation of their report.Rather than dwelling on the religious perspective,the minister said the media ought to be more interested in the objectives of the coalition.Speaking with State House correspondents after a meeting with Buhari at the Presidential Villa,Abuja,Onyeama noted that terrorism is a blobal phenom,enon and Nigeria would support any move to deal with it.He said the Islamic countries were uncomfortable with the perception that terrorism is Islamic and wants ti show that it is not the case.The minister noted that the coalition wants to show that terrorists do not speak for Islam and that nothing in Islamic teaching encourages terrorism.''What i say first of all is that you guys in the media have to be more responsible in the way you present news.First and foremost,get your facts right.It has nothing to do with religion as far as Nigeria is concerned.We have to look at what the objctive is.We face terror challenges and its a global phenomenon.Unfortunately,the problem we have today is that some of the terrorists group are claiming some of the things they are doing is in the name of a particular religion and it is clear to everybody that this is not the case,which is obviously a concern to people of Islamic faith and islamic countries that their religion should be so abused.So,there is naturally a tendency to show that this has nothing to do with Islam.Islamic countries,Islamic people want to be seen as being in the forefront of the battle against these terrorists to show also that it has absolutely nothing to do with religion.That's what this is all about.So,we are supporting every move to achieve this,to disabuse people's minds that some of these terrorists are speaking in the name of Islam or are Islamic or that there's anything about Islamic teaching that somehow condones these barbaric actions.I think it's something we should all get together and we should all support whoever is working towards it.And that's what this coalition is for,to show too that we are a Muslim country,we are Muslims and these people do not speak for Islam,have nothing to do with Islam.Most of the victims of these people are Muslims if you look at it.So,that's what it is.It has nothing to do with Nigeria,Christianity,Islam.I think the media should really get the main messages across''.One more photo below.
