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

Nigerian Muslim leader: “Islam stands for peace,” Boko Haram un-Islamic

Dec 28, 2014 8:44 am By Robert Spencer

Sultan-of-Sokoto-Alhaji-Muhammad-Saad-Abubakar-III-1000x500How it happened that a group that calls itself the Congregation of the People of the Sunnah for Dawah and Jihad could have misunderstood Islam so spectacularly, he did not explain. Nor, unfortunately, did he say what he planned to do to teach young Muslims why they should reject and avoid this understanding of Islam.

“Boko Haram Acts negate Islamic Teaching- Sultan of Sokoto,” Daily Times, December 27, 2014:

The Sultan of Sokoto, Alhaji Sa’ad Abubakar has described the unholy activities of the violent sect, Boko Haram as a contradiction of what Islam preaches which has no basis in the religion.

He also enjoined Muslim leader and youths to desist from action that will continue to compromise the security of the nation.

Alhaji Abubakar who is the President- General, Nigeria Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs stated this at the formal opening of the annual Islamic Vacation Course, IVC of the Muslim Students’ Society of Nigeria, MSSN, Southern Zone held at Km 53, Lagos/ Ibadan Express way.

Alhaji Abubakar who was represented by the Executive Secretary, Muslim Ummah of South-West Nigeria, MUSWEN, Professor D.O.S. Noibi charged Muslim youths to resist temptation from anyone to commit act that would lead to violence as Islam remained a religion of peace.

“ We have said it times without number that any act that breeds violence like the one being exhibited by Boko- Haram has no basis in Islam.

As you are aware, our religion, Islam stands for peace as its name denotes. So let us remain peaceful always, so that we may live a peaceful life here and be accommodated in the home of peace in the life to come.”

Also In a keynote address, the National President, MSSN, Mallam Sirajudeen Abd-Azeez enjoined the federal government to find a lasting solution to the problem of insurgency which continued to threaten the unity of the country.

“The once great and giant nation is at the verge of collapse. It is no more a selling news that terrorism is on the rampage taking over our lands on a daily basis.

We want to reiterate that Mr. President should address the nation on why the country is under siege by the terrorists. Why have the insurgents continued to beat the nation’s military arsenals despite the billions of dollars voted for security? Why have the terrorists become stronger even after a year when some States in the North- East have come under partial emergency rule”….

    Alhaji Sa’ad Abubakar is the titular head of the Sokoto Caliphate, a prestigious, but extinct, historic kingdom. He is an ex-military officer, but he’s not an Islamic cleric and has no right to speak for Islam.

    His opinions have virtually no validity as far as Islamic rulings are concerned and the jihadists all know it. It’s hot air.

    Jihad is normative Islam and young people have been convinced of that by proper Islamic teaching. Islam is a violent, expansionist, xenophobic death cult. If Muslims haven’t figured it out, they are very self-delusional.

    My guess, since the “authentic” Koran is ONLY written in Arabic, is that Alhaji Sa’ad Abubakar cannot read Arabic, and so has ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA, aside from what others have told him, what the Koran specifically teaches!

      Don’t count on it. The Sultan in all likelihood is well-informed…it’s taqiyya. He’s also fully cognizant of the fact that there is a mutiny of soldiers in the Nigerian Army who refuse to fight and shoot to kill fellow Muslims from Boko Haram. That is the most serious of their problems in Nigeria…soldiers who refuse to do their sworn duty. Muslim soldiers cannot be counted on.

    OH BS. Islam has nothing to do with peace. Islam is the opposite of peace. That the “rop” propaganda is still around defies belief.

    Slavery is peace.

    Islam oops war is peace.
    Mohammed was gods prophet.

      Yes, but why is this man wearing a women’s veil?
      It must be a case of double-think overload.

      • zebo says

        Dec 28, 2014 at 10:36 am

        This may be some regional pre-islamic cultural thing,
        just like with the tuareg muslims where the men are veiled but the women not so much.
        (or this is some liberal gay-slam 🙂

        • Jay Boo says

          Dec 28, 2014 at 10:54 am

          I have heard a rumor that some Muslim men even wear mascara.

        • zebo says

          Dec 28, 2014 at 11:36 am

          Though i’m from muslim origin i cannot confirm this as i’m from former jugoslavia and those muslims are not typical/ oriental muslims and the oriental muslims i know would beat the shit out of you if you wear mascara.

          But i have seen in documrntaries upper class muslims which looked very much like using mascara.
          This would not surprise me as islam is gender apartheid and
          gender apartheid intensify homosexual tendencies because weak,manipulablr or latently homosexual persons are exposed 100% to their own gender and are not counterbalanced by females(that’s eg why homosexual behaviour by non-homosexuals is common in prisons)
          Hoomosexuals have built and established gay structures/niches within islam in the past 1400 years and especially gay pedos(watch the docu “dancing boys of afghanistan)
          If you have ever seen turkish wrestling(with oil)-that’s the most gay thing i’ve ever seen.

        I don’t think that’s a veil – it’s because he is unable to grow the usual mohammedan long, mucky beard, and has a cloth draped from his chin instead.

        It looks just as silly as a mohammedan beard, so he’s probably quite happy about it.

    Notice there is absolutely no shame by this man. There is only ‘denial’. Now, if 9000 people were killed in any other country in one year (2014) and what- a 100,000?- displaced, what 50 churches burned to the ground, and so much much more. Would any other cleric or rep of any other religion sit there and have the unmitigated gall to say that this wasn’t the ‘real’ buddhism, judaism, christianity, hinduism, et al???

    It is utter ridiculous that so called reps of the religion get to lie and show their own psychopathy. And that’s what it is. If I was there, I would quote half a dozen ‘greats’ of the ‘faith’ and ask this lying disimmulator if they too don’t represent Islam. Here’s one of the sufi master ‘greats’ and his own commentary on the poll tax for all non believers who get to ‘live’ under Islamic rule. The taxl they are commanded to pay to have the privilege to not be exterminated.
    “…the 18th century Moroccan Sufi “master” Ibn Ajibah from his Koranic commentary. Describing unabashedly the purpose of the humiliating Koranic poll tax [6] (as per Koran 9:29 [6]) of submission for non-Muslims brought under Islamic hegemony by jihad, Ibn Ajibah makes clear the ultimate goal of its imposition was to achieve what he called the death of the “soul”, through the dhimmi’s execution of their own humanity:  

    [The dhimmi] is commanded to put his soul, good fortune and desires to death.  Above all he should kill the love of life, leadership and honor. [The dhimmi] is to invert the longings of his soul, he is to load it down more heavily than it can bear until it is completely submissive. Thereafter nothing will be unbearable for him. He will be indifferent to subjugation or might. Poverty and wealth will be the same to him; praise and insult will be the same; preventing and yielding will be the same; lost and found will be the same. Then, when all things are the same, it [the soul] will be submissive and yield willingly what it should give.  [Tafsir ibn ‘Ajibah.  Commentary on Q9:29. Ahmad ibn Muhammad Ibn ‘Ajibah]  ”
    ——————–

    This is disgusting, venal, tyranny, and of course when confronted, such people will calmily tell you that it doesn’t mean what you claim it means…. that you are demeaning the calm peaceful nature of Islam.

    But this must be shown otherwise, there is onyly more terror and ugliness from the religion of psycopathy

    That this so called leader of Islam capable of morality, of shame, is the point that should be shown and
    shouted in his and all their ears. To deny that the mass homicidism in some 36 nations around the globe has nothing to do with Islam is example of the fact that he is incapable of goodness, and courage.

    Yes… it is cowardice, to hide behind the mass slaughter of mega millions and say… ‘this isn’t the real Islam’. How dare any human being pretend to have any goodness for non muslims by saying such deception. He can, because this IS Islam. He IS a muslim and he is an accomplice to mass homicide.

    That is what his and all those stated denials ‘that this is not the real Islam’ are truly. The complicit lies of accomplices to mass murder, slavery, and tyranny. This is what be shown when these accomplices to homicidism, and slavery- the ‘leaders’ of Islam pretend. They should be scorched and shown for all to see that the lies are no longer to be believed.

    “Why have the insurgents continued to beat the nation’s military arsenals despite the billions of dollars voted for security?”

    Because if the military strikes back, human rights vermins won’t like it.

      The Muslims in the Nigerian Army won’t fire on Muslims.

        “The Muslims in the Nigerian Army won’t fire on Muslims.”
        —————————–
        That may be true mortimer, but there are other forces at work.
        Salah was correct to say:
        “Because if the military strikes back, human rights vermins won’t like it.”
        The UN and BBC/NPR and let’s not forget Hillary’s cover up of Boko Haram.
        If a Nigerian moderate Muslim commander was in charge of your squad would you trust his command to send you into the jungle at a specified time and place and not assume it might be a set-up trap. If the Nigerian forces do summary executions of suspected terrorists the Islam defender networks at the UN will team up with the MSM to stop it.

  8. Jack Diamond says

    If Boko Haram, whose stated goal is to establish a pure Shari’a State, is unholy and un-Islamic, where are all the pronouncements of takfir by respected authorities, where are the mass uprisings and demonstrations against the insult to Islam they represent? No more than there are for the Islamic State or there were for its daddy al Qaeda. Empty statements about the innocence of Islam provide quotable quotes for apologists but their only purpose is defending the reputation of Islam at all costs and avoiding all discussion of what Islam actually teaches by asserting blanket denials. “Islam is a religion of peace, Islam respects other religions, Islam is a religion of tolerance”…to be followed, of course when pressed, by: it is peaceful Islam that is sinned against and victimized and not respected in return by (Jews, Israel, America, Crusader colonialism, fill in the blank) imposing injustice on Muslims. This is why every actual jihad being waged ends up as being “justified resistance” in the eyes of the Muslim World (see the OIC) even as they condemn “terrorism” (which turns out to only exists when against Muslims) or some specific atrocity (how awful, but nothing to do with Islam and now we fear for bigoted reprisals against innocent Muslims).

    How to convince the youth of Nigeria to “resist temptation from anyone to commit (an) act that would lead to violence as Islam remained a religion of peace” when their role model said “I would love to be martyred in Allah’s Cause and then come back to life and then get martyred and then come back to life again and then get martyred and then come back to life again…” and who said “strive hard against the unbelievers and the hypocrites (bad Muslims) and be unyielding to them.” (9:73)? He and his pal Allah also said “be not weary and fainthearted crying for peace when you should be uppermost.” (47:35). Maybe Muhammad had a different concept of peace than the rest of us. You think?

    “”As you are aware, our religion, Islam stands for peace as its name denotes.””

    I thought it meant “submission” ?

    • Tradewinds says

      Dec 28, 2014 at 1:15 pm

      He’s a typical lying Muslim. The word Islam means “Surrender” and “Submission.” It does not mean peace. When a Muslim opens his/her mouth about Islam the al-Taqiyya comes flowing out.

      Muslims are just bad spellers.
      After every beheading Muslims are reminded that:
      Islam stands for ‘PIECE’

    aint nobody listening to your empty words, abubakar. they fall on deaf ears. those deaf ears prefer the words of the Koran – a more accurate and truthful representation of the wicked cult of islam, than your own words.

    Non-Muslims in the UK are very fortunate to have in our midst an extremely intelligent and eloquent former comedian and now blogger and TV personality named Pat Condell. His videos(Videos uploaded by Pat Condell)express in dramatic way his utter loathing of Islam and they have been viewed by MILLIONS, He is extremely well versed on Islam and I am positive that posters on here would thoroughly enjoy them.

    So much Taqqiyah at qork to confuse non-believers of the truth…

    Allahu Akbar really means “Allah is greatER…! (than your god, that is..) and not
    “God is great”…

    “Peace be upon Him” ( PBUH/ ASW salutation really means “May Allah and his angels pray upon the messenger…)

    If Allah and the angels are asked to pray upon Muhammad, and all the Muslims are also asked to pray upon Muhammad, then Muhammad is greater than Allah…!

    Such shirk!
