Slaughtered Like A Goat: Religion Vs Commonsense

I do not know where to begin from or how to put this, but as an objective individual, and one who strives to be totally devoid of bias, I would like to straighten some 'personal facts' here.

1. I still believe, up to this time, that Islam preaches peace.

2. I have very wonderful Muslim friends and family, many of whom have gone the extra mile for me.

Now to you my reader, please be open minded as much as you can be as you go through this piece, at the end, I will appreciate your thoughts via comment.

The Video going viral  and making many begin to ask questions that we have asked a million times over; Is Islam truly a religion of Peace?

The said video, available here above (please do not open if you can't stand the sight) showed a a female SSS agent (as reported) been slaughtered by members of Boko Haram.

This has started raising a lot of dust and elements of hatred and anger, but my question is, where should this Anger be directed?

A) Government
B) Muslims
C) Other

As an African with maximum respect for the dignity of human life, and as one who democratically believes in the right of every individual to LIVE and let others live, I will pass my own blame on the government. Government in this case is YOU and I.

Let me make this clear to all and sundry, It is said that "to whom a Brain is given, Commonsense is expected", therefore, commonsense dictates that 'RELIGION IS MADE FOR MAN' and not vice-versa. To this end, it is expedient that we begin to look more inward to correct these ills so they don't become norms.

Conclusively, the fight against terrorism and violence shouldn't be one against a religion, nor a tribe irrespective of their socio-cultural affiliation. The onus is on us as a people to start from our homes, I believe we can get through this as a people. Let there be LOVE shared among us, and PEACE in our heart.

Remember, if it will be good, it is up to 'US', join in this WALK for PEACE, saying NO TO VIOLENCE and killings
