“I would talk with Boko Haram” says Anglican Communion secretary general

[CopyBoy]

[ACNS] The secretary general of the Anglican Communion, Archbishop Josiah Idowu-Fearon, has said he would be prepared to talk with Boko Haram – if their leadership could be identified.

Speaking in a HARDtalk interview with BBC journalist Stephen Sackur, Archbishop Josiah warned that it was “not helpful” to talk of a “fundamental struggle between Christians and Islam” or use language which suggests “a form of genocide” against Christians.

Talking of his own experiences in Nigeria, Archbishop Josiah said: “The Boko Haram crisis we are facing does not discriminate. They come under the guise of Islam but we all know . . . that this is not the Islam we are used to.

It’s grossly naive to think that any form of rational negotiation can be conducted with a bunch of murderous, throat slitting suicide bombing paedophile terrorists who think the earth is flat and that rape, murder and enslavement of anyone who doesn’t share their extremely perverted religious views is acceptable.

The idea that civilized humankind should avoid labeling the atrocities Boko Haram are committing as genocide, war crimes and crimes against humanity is also not only grossly naive in the worst form of political correctness, but a slap in the face for the victims and survivors of this murderous cult of terrorists.

Make sure you talk to them on the phone. In person would be suicide

Yeah it’s noble to want to talk about the differences and all, but it’s also probably a suicide mission to do so. Boko Haram are a few nuggets short of a happy meal and not in the mood to talk to anyone, least of all a Christian prelate.
