Akure — THE Federation of Muslim Women's Association of Nigeria (FOMWAN) has asked the Federal Government to find solution to the menace of Boko Haram.
According to them, government should dialogue with the religious sect if it will stop the killings.
National President of FOMWAN, Hajia Maryam Idris Othman, said this in Akure, the Ondo State capital during the enlightenment programme for Muslim women in the country.
The programme, slated to last four days, drew participants from the 36 states of the country and the FCT and attended by the League of Imams and Alfas.
Othman said government should be steadfast in the quest to ensure that total peace is restored and the fear of insecurity gone with the winds.
According to her, FOMWAN is collaborating with their Christian counterpart under the auspices of Catholic Women Association of Nigeria (CWAON) on the peaceful co-existence between Christianity and Islam in the country.
"Most of the killings affect both Christians and Muslims, an indication that it has nothing to do with religion,"she added.
According to her, Islam does not forbid taking vaccine in order to prevent polio, saying those who refused to submit their children for vaccination did not have knowledge of Islam.

It seems is if Haija Maryam Idris Othman and members of her FOMWAN are not aware of what the Boko Haram wants. Nigeria is a secular Republic and therefore the Government cannot agree to a dialogue over sharia with the sect. The Boko Haram sect is doing what other muslim groups are doing in Afghannistan,India,Iran,Iraq,Somalia, Syria,Yemen and others.It is called Jihad and Jihad is one of the tenets of Islam.They are merely good musims. It is a pure specious fallacy that the Boko Haram terrorists are killing both Christians and muslims. The primary targets of the Boko Haram are Christians, Christian property and places of whorship.The muslim victims of Boko Haram terror campaign are pure victims of collateral damage. Muslims can only co-exist with non-muslims under dictatorship or where the muslims have the upper hand to lord it over the non-muslims.Muslims are ever opposed to having a Christian as the Head of State of this country.Thus under Chief Obasanjo the Hausa/Fulani roiled the polity with their sharia inaugurations.They also slaughtered over 2 thousands Christians who dared protest their imposition of sharia then.Today it is the Hausa/Fulani terrorists, the Boko Haram,making the country ungovernable for our Christian,Goodluck Ebele Jonathan.Islam has recently become a type of neoplasma afflicting humanity.Many western country,Germany,France,the UK and other are at quandry of what to do with their ever uncontrollable muslim sojourner who reject western values.They simply refuse to integrate in their host countries.In East London and Kreuzberg in Berlin two Caliphates are in the making.The affliction of this Islamic neoplasm seem to have taken roots in Norway and Sweden.Over there Jews whose grandparents were victims of Nazi genocide,are today victims of muslim daily harassment.

You hit the nail at the head. There is not much to add. The insincerity of these Boko Haram women can clearly be seen where they claim, like their terrorism sponsoring male counterparts, that "it is not a religious problem". They keep repeating this statement which is not only a lie but also annoying. I believe that the statement is not directed at Nigerians because they know from bitter experience that it is a lie. Instead, it is meant for the consumption of the blue eyed Western press and the neo-liberal parties in the West who know nothing about Islam and it's agenda. Luckily, the Western intelligence know the truth and advise their governments correctly. Partnership with USA and Israel, two countries with experience and expertise, should be pursued vigorously.
