Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Nigerian Muslim cleric tells media to stop calling Boko Haram Islamic, doesn’t mention Islamic justifications for its acts

May 18, 2014 6:02 pm By Robert Spencer

Boko_Haram_leader__Abubakar_Shekau_916127537_814966922The Chief Imam of Lead City University, Ibadan, Abdulrahman Muhammed-Liawal, says: “The judgment in Islam for anybody that kills his fellow being is death.”

Actually, the Qur’an never says that. It does say this: “And do not kill the soul which Allah has forbidden, except by right. And whoever is killed unjustly, We have given his heir authority, but let him not exceed limits in taking life. Indeed, he has been supported.” (17:33) This is clearly not an outright prohibition of killing. One should not kill “except by right.” And one who kills “unjustly” is subject to punishment from the heirs of the person he killed.

Here yet again we see a Muslim cleric claiming that Boko Haram is not Islamic but not explaining why. This is important because if they don’t explain why, they will only convince gullible Infidels that Boko Haram is not Islamic, and lull them into complacency. If they explain why, they have a chance to keep other Muslims from accepting the Islamic justifications for its actions that Boko Haram offers. So why don’t they do that? And why doesn’t anyone ever challenge them about this?

“Stop calling Boko Haram Islamic group- Cleric tells media,” Premium Times, May 18,2014:

“The judgment in Islam for anybody that kills his fellow being is death”.

The Chief Imam of Lead City University, Ibadan, Abdulrahman Muhammed-Liawal, on Sunday urged the media to stop referring to the Boko Haram sect as an Islamic group.

Mr. Muhammed-Liawal made the plea in Ibadan at a programme organised by the Muslim community of Radio Nigeria, Ibadan, with the theme: “Islam and the Media.’’

The cleric, who noted that the activities of the sect were completely anti-Islam, said “Islam is not a religion that encourages force but rather a religion of peace and equity.

“The attitude of Boko Haram contradicts the teachings of Islam; the judgment in Islam for anybody that kills his fellow being is death.

“Anybody that understands this principle will not kill his fellow being.’’

He also advised the media to always confirm their information before reportage in order not to mislead the public.

Mr. Muhammed-Liawal, who observed that the best means of informing the people about Islam was through the media, advised well-meaning Muslims to sponsor Islamic programmes during the forthcoming Ramadan.

    (‘Not my Problem’) moderate Muslims have been perfectly content to ignore Boko Haram with help from others like the ‘Wicked Witch of the West’, Hillary.
    Now that Islam is rightly in the spotlight, they suddenly expect that we owe them our sympathy.

          Dear Brian: your command of the English language tips us off that you are an Islamic apologist. Islam sanctifies (makes holy) the very behavior that you seem to refute, because your false prophet and founder Muhammed WAS, (he is dead now and in the fires of sheol awaiting judgement day) a DEMON POSSESSED LIAR THIEF MASS MURDERER, MISOGYNIST AND PEDOPHILE. So perhaps you may want to reconsider why you worship- Allah /Satan, who who spoke to Muhammed though a demon posing as the angel Gabriel. Allah is too weak to punish on his own and requires faithful muslims like your self to do his evil bidding, hence the very Islamic behavior of Boko Haram

          As “Brian Hoff’—really, “DefenderofIslam” knows, but hopes we do not, is that “murbering” Christians and destroying their churches is perfectly Islamic wherever they are not in full subjugation to Muslims.

          And in Nigeria, riven as it is with the imposition of brutal Shari’ah law in the north, Christians are still not formally subjugated as dhimmis—and that drives pious Muslims like Boko Haram to perfectly Halal acts of Islamic savagery—kidnapping, mass rape, bombings, arson, shootings…

          And “murbering” the “insufficiently Islamic”—that is, Muslims who are not properly savage in working to subjugate Christians and other Infidels and universally impose Sharia’h—is canonically Islamic, as well.

          You’d think that “DefenderofIslam” would know by now that readers at Jihad Watch are too well-informed to swallow his bs—but then, DoI has never been the sharpest knife in the drawer…

    “The cleric, who noted that the activities of the sect were completely anti-Islam, said “Islam is not a religion that encourages force but rather a religion of peace and equity.”

    Ha ha, god joke. But i know of one even better: a priest, a rabbi and muhammad walk into a bar. Muhammad crucifies the priest, beheads the rabbi, kills the bartender, steals from the register, kidnaps the waitress and burns down the bar while receiving revelations from allah supporting his actions. Then muslim clerics go up to the media and tell that islam is a religion of peace.

    “The attitude of Boko Haram contradicts the teachings of Islam; the judgment in Islam for anybody that kills his fellow being is death.

    “Anybody that understands this principle will not kill his fellow being.’’

    If by “fellow being” he means “pious muslim of the same sect who did nothing to deserve death” then he might have had a point.

    Quran 5:33 – The only reward of those who make war upon Allah and His messenger and strive after corruption in the land will be that they will be killed or crucified, or have their hands and feet on alternate sides cut off, or will be expelled out of the land.

        Here’s Quran 9:29:

    Sometimes this stuff looks like taqqiya. Sometimes it looks like a desperate attempt by naive muslims and supporters to twist islam into a decent religion. The latter might even have their hearts in the right place, but how can one enourage them to either let go of islam altogether or get seriously into reformation (without getting killed)?

    • dlbrand says

      May 19, 2014 at 2:48 am

      Islam cannot be reformed, “Guest.”

      That too, for the deeply faithful and aware of the teachings of that deen, calls for the death of those discrediting the, in brief, perfection of the life, actions, words, deeds, rulings, of their prophet.

      In brief, the only thing we can do is inform those in Islam that are unaware of the teachings provable from their “sacred texts.”

      If you pray, pray for them.

      Then, should they choose to reject Islam, give them a place, a safe-harbor they can escape to where the practice of Islam is illegal.

      I state such, fully aware, unless God orders it, bringing that to fruition is no tidy process, to say the least.

    Anyone who doesn’t comprehend the excessive word games Islam plays (it basically has to since otherwise….), another example being that Islam is “against the killing of innocents,” will very likely fall for this deceptive Islamic rot. Many do fall for this, not only silly and uninformed dhimmis aplenty but, as well, loads of sincere yet still deluded Muslims.

    Instructive how deception posing as mere recitation of fact is one of Islam’s finest allies. However, this is ultimately a weakness for Islam as growing numbers aross the world come to realize Islam for the heinous and deeply limiting religious ideology which it is and which promotes itself so many times by way of mendacity posturing as truth.

    Muslim cleric says this, Muslim cleric says that.

    Muslim clerics lie through their teeth for a living and the media pitifully believes every word of it without having ever picked up a copy of the Qur’an and taken the time to understand its horrible instructions in detail.

    Islam demands submission to Islam just as surely as it permits slavery, sex slavery, and rape. We ex-Muslims living with Islam’s formal and informal death penalty for apostasy know that Mohammedanism is a most vile religion/ideology.

    THE QURANIC SANCTION OF SLAVERY

    by ex-Muslim M. A. Khan

    The institution of slavery in Islam was formalized in the following Quranic verse, in which Allah distinguishes free human beings or masters, who exercise justice and righteousness, from the dumb, useless and burdensome ones, the slaves:

    Quran, 16:76
    Allah sets forth (another) Parable of two men: one of them dumb, with no power of any sort; a wearisome burden is he to his master; whichever way he directs him, he brings no good: is such a man equal with one who commands Justice, and is on a Straight Way?

    Allah warns the believers against taking the slaves as equal partner in status and in sharing their wealth, lest they have to fear them as anyone else:

    30:28
    …do ye have partners among those whom your right hands possess (i.e., slaves, captives) to share as equals in the wealth We have bestowed on you? Do ye fear them as ye fear each other?

    Allah recognizes some human beings, namely the masters, as more blessed by Himself than the less favored slaves as part of His divine plan. He warns Muslims against sharing His gifts to them equally with their slaves. Those who would take slaves as equal, warns Allah, would deny Him:

    16:71
    Allah has bestowed His gifts of sustenance more freely on some of you than on others: those more favoured are not going to throw back their gifts to those whom their right hands possess, so as to be equal in that respect. Will they then deny the favours of Allah?

    Allah does not only sanction the institution of slavery, He also gave divine blessing to masters (Muslim men only can own slaves) to have sex with the female slaves:

    70:29–30
    And those who guard their private parts, Except in the case of their wives or those whom their right hands possess—for these surely are not to be blamed

    23:5–6And who guard their private parts, except before their mates or those whom their right hands possess, for they surely are not blameable

    Therefore, if there are women amongst the captives or slaves, Muslims are divinely sanctioned to have sex with them as they do with their wives. This verdict of Allah founded the institution of sex-slavery or slave-concubinage in Islam, which was widespread in the pre-colonial Muslim world and continued well into the mid-twentieth century. As far as legal marriage is concerned, there is a limitation of four wives for a man at one time [Quran 4:3], but no such limitation on the number of sex-slaves.

    Allah also gave a divine sanction to Muslims for acquiring female slaves for sexual engagement by waging wars against the infidels:

    33:50
    O Prophet! surely We have made lawful to you your wives whom you have given their dowries, and those whom your right hand possesses out of those whom Allah has given to you as prisoners of war…

    Muslims can engage in sex with the captured slave women even if they are married, but not with the married free Muslim women:

    4:24
    Also (prohibited are) women already married, except those whom your right hands possess…

    There are other verses in the Quran that talks approvingly of slaves and capturing them in wars. Thus, according to the divine commands of the Islamic God as enshrined in the holy Quran, Muslims are allowed to keep slaves. They can amass slaves by waging wars, have sex with the female slaves, and of course, use them as they wish. For Muslims, having sex with female slaves is as legal as having sex with their married wives. Slavery appears to be one of the most desired divine privileges in Islam, since Allah took the pain of reminding Muslims about this divine right time and again in so many verses.

    http://www.islam-watch.org/authors/65-khan/809-islamic-slavery-part-1.html

    Here is a recent statement from a group of Bangladeshi apostates living in the UK explaining the reasons why they have abandoned Islam:

    “One who claims to be a messenger of God is expected to live a saintly life. He must not be given to lust, he must not be a sexual pervert, and he must not be a rapist, a highway robber, a war criminal, a mass murderer or an assassin. One who claims to be a messenger of God must have a superior character. He must stand above the vices of the people of his time. Yet Muhammad’s life is that of a gangster godfather. He raided merchant caravans, looted innocent people, massacred entire male populations and enslaved the women and children. He raped the women captured in war after killing their husbands and told his followers that it is okay to have sex with their captives (Qur’an 33:50). He assassinated those who criticized him and executed them when he came to power and became de facto despot of Arabia. Muhammad was bereft of human compassion. He was an obsessed man with his dreams of grandiosity and could not forgive those who stood in his way…

    The statement continues,

    Muhammad was a narcissist, like Hitler, Saddam or Stalin. He was astute and knew how to manipulate people, but his emotional intelligence was less evolved than that of a 6-year-old child. He simply could not feel the pain of others. He brutally massacred thousands of innocent people and pillaged their wealth. His ambitions were big and as a narcissist he honestly believed he is entitled to do as he pleased and commit all sorts of crimes and his evil deeds are justified. “

  14. Saleem Smith says

    May 18, 2014 at 11:13 pm

    Muslims who don’t want Sharia law are not real Muslims. You either believe in the laws of “Allah” as described in the “supposedly perfect Quran” and want to live by them or you don’t and should therefore walk away from Islam.

    May 19, 2014 at 8:15 am

    Let’s not be lulled into complacency by what a Muslim leader may say. The facts are out there – Muslims do kill those who are not submissive to Mohamed. Satan is today warring fiercely to stop Christians from stating the truth of the Word concerning Jesus Christ – that He is the Son of God He will do so until he is stopped at the coming of Christ. In the meantime we who know the Lord need to be alert to Satan’s attacks, and resist him through the shed blood of Christ, no matter how fierce the battle rages.

    It has become a cliché to say that Boko Haram and other Islamic extremist groups are non-Muslims. This is because the average moderate-Muslim feels embarrassed by the atrocities being committed by these barbaric gangs all over the world. Ironically, the extremist groups equally believes that the moderate Muslims are no Muslims because they joining them in the feast of savagery. Sadly, the Muslim moderates are engaged in escapism. The Boko Haram Islamic sect are indeed Muslims. However, they have their own interpretation of this religion Arabs gave us. But not even the Arabs have come out with one single interpretations of it. It is therefore the most misunderstood religion on earth as even the followers have different concepts of it. The moderate Muslim should come out and not only denounce the killers but should also engage in mass rallies against these atrocities else the religion of Islam will continue to bear the toga of violence. We are tired of being told that Islam is about peace. We want this peace to speak to us. Africa should also realize that importing Islam in its raw form will tantamount to Arab imperialism. Islam as a religion carries with it the cultures, values, traditions, myths and civilizations of the Arab people over the centuries. To have the religion transplanted in its raw from into Africa as is currently the case in Northern Nigeria as well as some African countries such as Mali, Somalia, etc. is akin to self-imposed colonization. It is a miracle that Islam is still alive in Africa in view of its legacy of death and destruction over the centuries. Africa should look inwards for salvation. Our own indigenous faith is not without its own problems. But these are nothing to compare to the daily carnages we have been witnessing in Nigeria in decades as a result of the importation of foreign faiths.

      Excerpt:

      “When the British established their administrative and military control over Nigeria in the early 20th
      century, they froze **a historical dynamic that had been ongoing for over a thousand years, that is
      the slow conversion to Islam of the sahelian dwelling northern tribes of Nigeria, such as the Hausa
      and Kanuri peoples who lived under a range of feuding emirs or local
      sultans and who then, as
      sincere believers in Islam, adopted a Jihad which included systematic enslavement and sale of
      captives from the more southern non Muslim tribes, such as the Yoruba, Ibo and many others who
      lived nearer to the Atlantic ocean.** {my emphasis – dda}.

      This is not about conflict “between” Muslims and Christians.

      This is about Islam – the Ummah, the Mohammedan Mob, the Allah Gang, the Empire of Islam- attacking *everything* that is not-Islam. It has done this on three continents for 1400 years, non-stop. Black Africans and Hindu Indians have suffered the worst, with a death toll that in Africa’s case (starting from the 8th
      century!) is something like 100+ million people, and in India, *at least* 80 million. Rough estimates, of course, but I find them wholly believable.

      Look up someone called Tidiane N’diaye, “Le Genocide Voile”, re the ruinous impact of Muslim imperialism upon black Africa. *1200 years* of Muslim assault. Muslims were in Africa LONG before Europeans got there, and they were wreaking ruin.

      And see this, for another overview focusing on recent history:

      Islam in Africa

    Nigerian Muslim cleric tells media to stop calling Boko Haram Islamic, doesn’t mention Islamic justifications for its acts
    ………………………………

    Typical Taqiyya. And note—as covered here at Jihad Watch previously—that he doesn’t declare Takfir (“excommunication”) on Boko Haram.

    And yes—his misquoting of the Qur’an is completely intentional, and just intended to fool the credulous Kuffar.

    Abdulrahman Muhammed-Liawal and other “slow Jihadists” are just worried that a this point Boko Haram ‘makes Islam look bad’.

    Boko Haram disagrees, of course, and believes it is time for the mask to come off.

    God, I hate Islam.
