Sanusi - I Think Techonology Is Responsible For Terrorism

The Emir of Kano, Mallam Muhammadu Sanusi II, said the exposure of the youths of today to Information Technology and new/social media was why they (youths) were becoming Jihadists and Boko Haram members.

The Emir stated this at the 10th annual Ramadan lecture titled, “The challenges of Muslim Ummah in the 21st Century,” organised by VON, NTA and FRCN in Kaduna.

According to traditional ruler, the youths learn new ideologies from the internet and after watching, make up their minds to go to Iraq and Syria, to join the Jihadist groups.


“With information technology and the emergence of the internet and social media, today, youths go on the computer and learn Islam from Facebook and Twitter. 

They learn Islam from video’s they watch on Facebook and after 14 to 15 hours of watching new things, they feel the need to become jihadists.
