Nigeria: sharia court jails and "canes" lazy youth

If dancing and jumping around is offensive to sharia, apparently so too is lying around.

"Islamic court jails Nigerian man for six months for idleness," from Africasia, October 17:

An Islamic Sharia court in northern Nigeria has jailed for six months a 20-year old man for idleness and belonging to a group of delinquents, a court official said Friday.

A lower sharia court in Tudunalkali neighbourhood in Bauchi handed down the sentence on Jamilu Samaila on Thursday, after his father dragged him in because he was tired of his son's "nefarious" deeds.

How does one go about committing "nefarious deeds" while also being idle?
"Judge Tanibu Abubakar sentenced Jamilu Samaila to a six-month prison term for having no job and also for associating with bad friends, which is an offence contrary to... sharia penal code," court clerk Tasiu Musa told AFP in a telephone interview.

"The convict was brought to court by his father Samaila Tahir who complained of his son's refusal to be engaged in any trade and refused to go to school," he said, adding that he asked the court to put him behind bars "for as long it deems fit."

"Tough love."
Cited by the official News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), the father told the court: "He is not listening... and he is bringing shame to my family.
Now if this son was a daughter, the "shame" accusation could prove fatal.
"I am tired of his nefariuous deeds. Please put this boy in prison so that I can be free," Tanir pleaded with the court.

The court also ordered that he be caned 30 times. The strokes were administered shortly after sentence was delivered, according to NAN.

Real tough love.
Since the return of Nigeria to civil rule in 1999, a dozen predominantly Muslim states in the north have re-introduced a version of the Islamic Sharia legal system.

Muslims are like 12-year-olds and Sharia is like an evil, unreasonable parent. He's ot supposed to ever do an honest day's work if he's to emulate Muhammad, and if he can't take Jews and Christians as his friends, well he's left with Muslims, who are necessarily 'nefarious,' at least, if they actually abide by Sharia and fund terrorism with 2.5% of their income and pimp their daughters into incestuous Sharia sex slavery. What's a Muslim to do?

I had a Nigerian friend when I was an undergrad. She was way too good for a nation like that. Thank God she got out of there with her mother and sister.

...so too is laying around.

Usage note:

Lay and lie are often confused. Lay is most commonly a transitive verb and takes an object. Its forms are regular. If “place” or “put” can be substituted in a sentence, a form of lay is called for: Lay the grenades near the launcher. The jihadist is laying blocks of C4. The muslimah laid the bomb carefully in the crib. Lay also has many intransitive senses, among them “to lay landmines” (The children have stopped laying landmines), and it forms many phrasal verbs, such as lay off “to suspend the legal jihad because the kufr have taken notice” and lay over “to make a stop prior to hijacking the plane.”

Lie, with the overall senses “to be in a horizontal position, recline” and “to rest, remain, be situated, etc.,” is intransitive and takes no object. Its forms are irregular; its past tense form is identical with the present tense or infinitive form of lay: "Lie down, and play dead, children, the cameras have started". Abandoned cars were lying along the road after the IED exploded. The muslims lay in the road after the Italians closed their mosque. The homosexuals have lain by the road since their hanging.

I hope this have been helpful.

I should be jailed then, I'm a pro in procastination, couch potato and lazyness!


hahahaha ...

Guess there is no "down time" in the jihad.

What fun we infidels can have with this:

Hey, zombie apologists, how can you defend these lovely statements?

"Judge Tanibu Abubakar sentenced Jamilu Samaila to a six-month prison term for having no job...

A large percentage of your coreligionists in Europe don't have jobs. Granted that they are perfectly happy accepting unemployment benefits (and housing, and education, and health), please explain to us the difference.

...and also for associating with bad friends, which is an offence contrary to... sharia penal code," court clerk Tasiu Musa told AFP in a telephone interview.

Bad Friends? Oh, please do explain how hanging out with your "buds" is contrary with sharia penal code

We're all ears here.

IRONY ALERT:

ne·far·i·ous (n-fâr-s)
adj.
Infamous by way of being extremely wicked.

An Islamic Court manages to find this young man guilty of nefarious deeds, but fails to see how nefarious Islams core beliefs are.

A real head-scrather that one!

its to bad we cant do the same to some of the wellfare bums in the west

So, what will this youth learn in prison? The art of caning?

"How does one go about committing "nefarious deeds" while also being idle?"

Well, I've heard of one incident where someone asked who would rid him of a poet he didn't like... He didn't want to do the job, himself. I guess he had an image to maintain...

Those guys had better beware-they've set a dangerous precedent. At that rate the majority of the ummah's people will end up being caned. Judging from their Third World lifestyles, their constant protesting against some imagined slight and running off to the mosque all the time work seems to be an alien concept to much of these folk.

That's very interesting. Does it mean that the new sharia courts in England will jail and cane all the lazy, parasitic, trouble-making UK moslems currently cramming their snouts into the public trough?

There is a story from Ahadith that tells of
Mohammad and his band of merry Mohammadans, riding along somewhere stopping at an oasis for a rest. Two of Mo's men saw a farmer working in a nearby field. They were military Mohammadans who never did an honest days work in their lives so they were curious as to what this laborer was doing. They went to where the farmer was working, 'laid down', and watched him. Soon, they got so tired watching the farmer labor, they fell asleep.
Mohammad noticed this, went over there, rudely woke up his men, kicked them around a little and gave em what for.

There are similarities in this story and the article above...
