As we noted in our last post on the deadly jihad in Nigeria, Muslims kill 55 in latest Nigeria attack, the government there thinks amnesty is a solution for Muslims who have killed more than 10,000 since 2001. Their so-called president is even freeing captured Muslim terrorists so they can kill again.
Jesse Jackson thinks rebuilding their mosques is the answer. h/t reader
via Offer of Amnesty for Boko Haram Gets Backing From Jesse Jackson
American civil rights leader and Baptist
minister, Rev. Jesse Jackson, has thrown his weight behind the decision
of President Goodluck Jonathan to offer amnesty to members of the
Islamic sect, Boko Haram.
Jackson, a two-time United States of
American presidential candidate, also said Nigeria “is divided, not so
much by religion, region and tribe but by greed.”
Speaking in Yenagoa, Bayelsa State on
Friday, Jackson, who was a guest speaker at a lecture organised by the
state government as part of activities marking the 2013 edition of Isaac
Boro memorial anniversary, said if properly handled, the amnesty
programme would tackle insecurity in the country.
For the programme to work, he said all its terms and conditions must be honoured.
According to him, the amnesty must involve
economic restitution and rebuilding of mosques and churches destroyed
by the terrorists. He described such rehabilitation as a goodwill that
would sustain coexistence in the country.
He said the state of emergency declared in
three northern states should be as temporary as possible, advising
Nigerians to abandon the battlefield and return to negotiation.
He said, “The amnesty must involve
economic restitution, jobs and training. Within the United States,when
there was civil unrest,there was a kind of state of emergency.
“But I hope the country will soon get back
away from the battlefield and get to the negotiation table. In the end,
it will be the bargaining table, not the battlefield, that wins
victory.You cannot battle forever.
Nigerians know better.Jackson and most so-called civil race baiters sat silently as black Africans were slaughtered and enslaved by the hundreds of thousands by Arab Muslims in Sudan.
