A university don says only a few bad eggs are giving Muslims bad names.
Professor AbdulHafiz Oladosu of the Department of Arabic and Islamic Studies, University of Ibadan, also called on world leaders not to judge Islam from the negative attitude of some Muslims.
Oladosu made the call at the formal opening of the 100th edition of the Annual Islamic Vacation Course (IVC) held at IVC permanent site, kilometre 30, Lagos/Ibadan Express way.
“It’s not Islam that should be held responsible for the misbehaviour of some Muslims. The same way you don’t hold a car responsible when it has an accident; you need to question the driver and owner of the car.
“Allah gave the religion of Islam to the Muslims; it is we the Muslims that are misrepresenting the gift from Allah. The world should try to read about Islam and not about Muslims,’’ Oladosu said.
