Terrorism in religious garb
I support the views expressed by Nobel prize winning author Wole Soyinka in his address to the World Humanist Congress (TDS, August 11). He said that the conflict between humanists and religionists has always been one between the torch of enlightenment and the chains of enslavement. Boko Haram, Salafist, ISIS etc. all groups claim that they are performing religious obligations but in fact they do terrorist activities like killings, bombing and abductions. These groups should be rational enough and admit the truth.
