Muslims Who Shout ‘Allahu Akbar’ Before Killing Innocent Are Insane - Osinbajo

Speaking through the Vice President, Yemi
Osinbajo, at the launch of the revised National
Counter Terrorism Strategy, NACTEST, in Abuja,
the President said “it is either they do not know
the meaning of those words or they are simply
deranged.”
The President noted that “these enemies (Boko
Haram) are essentially an insane nuisance
because they revel in cowardly attacks.”
Explaining that the war against terrorism was
unconventional, the President disclosed that his
government will change its strategy in a bid to
win the war against insurgents.
Buhari said, “There must be an understanding
that the war against terrorism is the most
unconventional one. They (terrorists) do not
respect any rules of engagement; kill the
defenseless including prisoners, use children and
humans, girls and consider the killing of anyone
at all at a victory.
“Therefore as we think through our strategy we
must remember that to permanently win the
physical battle, we must win the battle of the
minds of even the most impressionable young
men who sign up to join Boko Haram and other
violent extremist groups.
“We must understand that terrorism is essentially
a psychological warfare and as such is
psychologically sophisticated and we must
educate the youth through the leadership of our
faith that neither Islam nor any other religion
that we know endorses the slaughter of anyone.
“In the past few years our nation faced the
threat of terrorism characterized by mindless
killing of our people including children.”
