Compulsory "Conversion" Of Chibok Girls To Islam Is Impossible
An Islamic organization tagged the alleged conversion of the abducted Chibok girls to Islam as "preposterous".
Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC) has rejected the conversion claim provided in the new Boko Haram video, which shows girls wearing hijabs and reciting Qur'an.
In a statement released on May 13, 2014, Tuesday, the group called the "purported" conversion "cowardly and shameful", saying that in Islam it should be an act of free will, but not a compulsory one.
"We have no iota of doubt that the girls ‘converted’ under duress. Such ‘conversion’ is null and void under the Shari’ah. The Glorious Qur’an is very explicit in this regard as it says, 'There is no compulsion in religion…' (Laa ikrahun fii ad-diin” (Qur’an 2:256)."
The organization also urged the authorities not to exchange the kidnap victims for Boko Haram prisoners, because according to them the man who dared to abduct innocent children is "honour-blind" and won't follow the terms of the deal suggested by himself.
"A man who orders the invasion and kidnap of innocent young girls is honour-blind. Shame on Boko Haram! Shekau has no modicum of integrity left in his anatomy."
