Nigeria: Sharia court sentences two to death for blasphemy against Muhammad

Jun 25, 2015 7:11 pm By Robert Spencer

Sharia courtIn the free and enlightened West, we don’t kill people for blaspheming Muhammad. We just assassinate their character and call them “racists,” “bigots” and “Islamophobes,” and imply that Islamic jihad murderers are justified in stalking and hunting them. It is wonderful to live in the free world.

“Kano Sharia Court Sentences Two To Death For Alleged ‘Blasphemy,’” Frontiers News, June 25, 2015:

An Upper Sharia Court, Rijiyar Lemo, in Kano, has sentenced two persons, Abdul-Inyas and Hajiya Mairo, to death for blasphemy against the Prophet of Islam.

The offence, committed in early June, triggered protest in Kano. The demonstration was however promptly quelled by law enforcement agents.

A statement by the State Sharia Court of Appeal, signed by a man named Nasiru, said the two persons were found guilty under section 110 and section 382b of the Sharia Penal Court law year 2000.

“They are hereby sentenced to death,” the statement read.

The statement acknowledged that some Muslim faithful in Kano threatened violence if the accused were set free.

The court however freed Alkasim Abubakar, Yahya Abubakar, Isa Abubakar, and Abdullahi Abubakar, who were arrested alongside the two convicted persons.

They were found not guilty by the court.

Already, news of the judgment has sparked jubilation by a section of Kano residents.

    They were found not guilty by the court.

    With some luck, they won’t be killed by a raging mob angry that they were found not guilty.

    No No No, this is time for change. President Buhari must not allow people to be killed for exercising their freedom of speech.whatever they say about the honorable prophet. It is not enough to take their lives.
    Please, please and please.. Do not kill these innocent people. In a modern world, who knows what to say and what not to say when everything is all mixed up? Prophet Mohammed was a very honest, kind and loving person. But he would not like to see people killed at this century because of whatever they say about him. Change Change Change. Please change for the sake of peace that the Prophet stood for all his life. If people say things, say things to them. Do not take their lives.

    Balaam’s Ass was greater than Mohammad.

    It was a Messenger of God who preceded
    Mohammad, and though an animal was
    able to talk in human voice and words and
    make more sense than Mohammad.

    It also prophesized than Mohammad was
    to be a fake prophet rather than a real
    prophet, because Mohammad had no right
    or power to contradict God when it came
    to the Jews!
