Somehow, I’m okay discriminating against countries spawning jihadists by the dozen.

“It is unfair to include Nigeria on the US list for tighter screening because Nigerians do not have terrorist tendencies,” Akunyili told journalists.

“It is unfair to discriminate against over 150 million people because of the behaviour of one person,” said the minister…

“Abdulmutallab’s behaviour is not reflective of Nigerians and should therefore not be used as a yardstick to judge all Nigerians,” said Akunyili.

“He was not influenced in Nigeria. He was not recruited or trained in Nigeria. He was not supported whatsoever in Nigeria.”…

“Abdulmutallab was a well-behaved child, from a responsible family, who developed the ugly tendency to do what he tried to do because of his exposure outside the shores of Nigeria,” the minister said.

Other countries being discriminated against? Cuba, Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Somalia, Saudi Arabia, Yemen, and other countries known more for terrorism and dictatorial governments than anything else.

Oh, and fun fact: Nigeria, that innocent country with just one stray terrorist, has actually been under partial sharia (Islamic legal system) control for years. The situation is only worsening as elements push for stricter Islamic control. Boko Haram, an Islamic terror group, has cells in all 36 Nigerian states.

So my concern over discriminatory policies towards Nigeria is non-existent.
