Sharia in Niger: State authority revokes licenses of liquor dealers

Jun 14, 2018 6:50 pm By Robert Spencer

This kind of thing is coming soon to a Western country near you, since as we all know, initiatives to resist Sharia in the West are “bigoted” and “Islamophobic.” Cheers!

Niger state is one of 36 federal states comprising the nation of Niger.

“Sharia: Niger Revokes Licences of Liquor Dealers,” This Day, June 11, 2018:

The Niger State Government has revoked all the licences issued to liquor dealers throughout the state.

The Niger State Liquor Licensing Board, the body charged with the responsibility of regulating the sale and consumption of alcohol, announced this in a statement signed by its chairman, Malam Muhammad Shafii.

The state government had in 2000 introduced the Sharia legal system in the state under which sale and consumption of alcohol and related beverages in restricted areas of major town and cities in the state were prohibited.

Under the law, the sale and consumption of alcohol are restricted to eight kilometres from each of the city centre.

But in a U-turn on Monday, the state government banned the outright sale and consumption of alcohol in any part of the state.

In the statement in Minna, Shafii said liquor vendors caught contravening the order would not only be arrested but prosecuted.

The statement asked law enforcement agents to implement the directive by arresting and prosecuting offenders.

To give vent to the new policy, two major liquor dealers in the state were arrested over the weekend and would be charged to court soon….

    But selling and drinking camel urine would be O.K., I guess.

    Sharia in Niger: State authority revokes licenses of liquor dealers
    ………………

    More imposition of Shari’ah on everyone. Under Islam, it is not enough that Muslims follow the strictures of their creed–everyone else has to, as well.

    African Muslims need their beer.

      Damn, even the filthy communists in Russia knew better than to fool around with people’s drink….

    Well, islam at 95 percent and now going full shithole.

    You know, there are similar laws in Canada about where and who may sell alcohol.

    My local town can’t legally open a store selling beer because, get this, there is already such a store within 6 kilometers, and the adjudicating board ‘feel’ that anything closer will result in over consumption.

    I’m not saying that Canada is ripe for islamic take over or anything, but perhaps authoritarians of a feather may end up flocking together….

      This is ridiculous–but it isn’t quite the same thing as shutting down all selling of beer, as these Shari’ah laws are doing.

        No, absolutely not. There would few better ways to commit political, and perhaps actual, suicide here in Canada, thank God.

        But this desire to control and dictate for reasons of ‘moral superiority’ and knowing what’s best for everyone else because they don’t know it for themselves….it at least smells a little bit similar does it not?

          True.

      Sure Canada is ripe for takeover…Junior has ruined a wonderful place.
      It’s hard for a non Canadian citizen to understand what’s happening there..Canada is our northern neighbor and a border that can be crossed by Canada’s migrants, maybe terrorist….I hope that soon the Canadian peoples will replace those in power who don’t follow Canadian values.

      • LeftisruiningCanada says

        Jun 15, 2018 at 10:32 pm

        Yes, we are hoping and working for a return to something approaching normality here.

    See that black guy there smiling with his beers all lined up…..

    islam doesn’t want that black guy to smile anymore.

    how racist is that?

    Niger State in central Nigeria is over 95% muslim, the rest are mithraist christians /animists who consume local wine called burkutu. The law does not prohibit the consumption of such local wine. Note:christians in Nigeria worship idols in their churches to perform magic they call miracle and as such they need intoxicants to draw the Satan nearer.

    Niger State in central Nigeria is over 95% muslim, the rest are mithraist christians /animists who consume local wine called burkutu. The liquor (prohition) law does not abolish the consumption of sucoh local wine. Note :mithraist christians in Nigeria worship idols in their churches like animists to perform magic they call miracle and as such they need intoxicants to draw them nearer to the Satan (Holy Spirit).

      Shari’ah law prevents Infidels from selling liquor–this is clear from the story above.

      And no–Christians do not “worship idols”. Why is Ibrahim itace muhammed so ignorant?

    Those local sorghum based biers are some of the nicest in the world and essential to a good life in a hot country like Niger. How dare an alien creed get in the way of such a pleasing pastime as a nice bier in the lands of Niger.

      Niger is a state in Nigeria, not a country, and it cool climatic condition. There is a country called Niger Republic with hot climatic condition at Northern side sharing border with Libya. Niger Republic is 100% muslims,mithraist christians are too insignificant less than. 0001%

        The mean summer temperature in Nigeria is over 80 degrees Fahrenheit. Some might consider this on the toasty side.

        Note that he wishes that Nigeria were “Christianrein” as is Niger–he and his fellow Muslims are working toward that, slaughtering Christians there.
