The so called religion of peace isn't peaceful in Nigeria either.
His father is honest and he is not responsible for the atrocious act of his son and the townspeople are likely ignorant, shocked and humiliated. I can understand that, but it’s not like Nigeria is a peaceful country or that Islam is a religion of peace. Surely these people are well aware of terrorism wrought by Islamofascists and it wasn’t born and cultivated in Western schools.
