Re: USA Africa Dialogue Series - Today's Quote

He needs to define what he means by "hate." Probably he is narrowing it down to emotional aversion, as in disliking a person. Some people don't dislike individuals, irrespective of what they do to them. In other words, he does not process humiliation or envy. I don't hate Adeboye, but I dislike Pastor Suleiman and can never have dinner with the late Joshua. Those are layers of emotions.

 

However, if he means he can approve all forms of ill-treatment to others, as in the killing of the student in Sokoto, kidnapping, Boko Haram, terrorism, slavery, etc., then his statement is extraordinarily juvenile. We are supposed to hate bigotry, killing innocent people, terrorism, abuse of power, etc.
