A man who once made shocking statements about Muslims “killing anyone who refuses to pay tax” resurfaced online, announcing he was now in Nigeria. The news immediately sparked heated reactions, and one user dropped an even more extreme comment: “Islam remains the biggest existential threat to peace and progress in the world.”
This kind of blanket condemnation is not just ignorant — it’s dangerous. It takes the actions of individuals or extremist groups and smears an entire global religious community. Comments like this feed fear, deepen religious divides, and paint millions of peaceful Muslims as threats. That’s how stereotypes harden, mistrust grows, and hate crimes find fuel.
Nigeria already struggles with religious tension; statements like this only pour petrol on the fire. Criticize criminals, extremists, or harmful ideologies — yes. But dragging an entire faith into it? That’s how you turn an already fragile country into an even more divided one.
