Humanist Mubarak Bala - An atheist's response to Abubakar Shekau's latest video

Boko Haram, dubbed the most violent terrorist group globally in modern times, with the largest casualty per human head, aims to revive the Islamic System that ruled the regions of old Sudan before colonization by the French and British empires from 18th and 19th Century. They detest freedom, education and democracy as a system of living, and prefer the clueless stone-age, to modern livelihoods. 

Also, they revived human slavery. It was during this Eid Celebrations Break in Kano, as I was researching on the atrocities by Buddhist Terrorists on the Rohingya Muslims, over whose religion is more peaceful, that your latest video popped up in the news. In the video, you were mocking the Nigeria military's missed target to capture you in 40 days, dead or alive. 

Your utterances, convinced me that your main problem is ignorance, which prompted me to have to write you, not that this may guide you back to sanity, but your followers may find there-in, something to learn from, and hopefully, reason well enough to quit this miserable life of terror and carnage you have unleashed on our and your own people. 

Over the period fortunately, a lot of your recruits have weaned off extremism when consulting or asking questions about our efforts in spread of reason and humanism when they call for inquiries (+2348032880989 sms text only). 

An Atheist's Response to Abubakar Shekau's latest video - by Humanist Mubarak Bala Excerpts from your video, you made reference to the ills of education, secularism, science and technology, as well as human freedom and democracy, you claimed it was your god and religion that you only depended on for operational success. 

Funny enough, you were all surrounded by the 'evils and ills' of the same system you so despise, and its products. Your religion and god did not avail you the means and methods to make the guns your were wielding, nor the watch on your wrist, nor the medicines you use to treat your casualties, and certainly not the video technology you employ to spread your propaganda and ignorance to the populace. 

Even the vehicles you and your boys use to pillage, sack, rob and plunder innocents and the weak in those villages, are products of science and technology; secular modern education. I do not consider you brave, for killing and attacking villagers and towns that you are sure are weak and unarmed, how I wish, these defenseless villagers were armed by the government to defend themselves, their families and property, we would have by then know, if your attackers would be so confident when they sneak to launch attacks and murder and steal peoples' families for slavery. 

Imagine strapping bombs on little kids to kill themselves and others, only given verses to recite as a key to painless deaths... Pathetic! Know that the time of jihads (such as on Qurayza, Khaybar and Hunayn) are over on our lands.
