Random Musings episode 152 - Not My Shame

There’s been a lot of conversation online about insecurity in Nigeria, with some people framing it as a Christian genocide or a Muslims-versus-Christians issue. While there’s no denying that insecurity is completely out of control, I don’t think it’s honest to reduce something this complex to a religious war.On this episode of random musings, I talk about why, as a Muslim, I refuse to carry shame for so-called “Islamic” terrorists or bandits. Anyone willing to read, learn, or even lightly understand Islam will see that what’s happening has nothing to do with the religion itself.This is not Islam. And because of that, it’s not my shame — or any Muslim’s shame — to carry.
