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

Nigeria: Kano State, which enforces Sharia, destroys 196,400 bottles of beer

Sep 26, 2019 11:00 am By Robert Spencer

Here again we see that the frequently enunciated Islamic critique of the West as a sinkhole of vice and immorality, compared to the purity and uprightness of Sharia states, is not based on genuine virtue, but upon force. The residents of Kano State, or at least some of them — those who were going to buy these bottles of beer — don’t abstain from alcohol because they’re virtuous and want to please Allah. They abstain because there is no alcohol to buy, it has all been destroyed by the morality police. They aren’t good, if that is good, by choice; they’re good because they have no choice.

“Kano Hisbah board destroys 196,400 beer bottles,” PM News Nigeria, September 23, 2019 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):

The Kano State Hisbah Board has destroyed over 196,400 bottles of beer confiscated within the Kano metropolis.‎

This is contained in a statement signed by the Chief Press Secretary to the deputy governor, Hassan Musa-Fage.‎

Speaking shortly after the destruction exercise at Kalemawa in Dawakin Tofa Local Government Area, Gov. Abdullahi Ganduje, said that Islam forbids alcohol consumption and all other intoxicants that can distort the mental capability of a person.

” In Islam, alcohol is strongly forbidden. Our Islamic Scholars, religious and community leaders should join hands together in the crusade [sic!] against such social vices,” he explained.‎

‎Represented by his Deputy, Alhaji Nasiru Gawuna, assured that all other Shari’ah agencies in the State will enjoy similar promotion and support with State Hisbah Biard to enable them discharge their mandates….

In his remarks, the Commander General, Kano State Hisbah Board, Sheik Haroon Ibn – Sina said that the board had succeeded in preventing alcohol sales and consumption under the provisions of Section 401 of the Sharia Laws of Kano.

He said the board also got a court order to destroy over 12 trucks of alcohol.

      It is ‘hisbah’ that is destroying people’s lives and livelihoods. They are Sharia vigilantes. The are ‘party’ of Mohammed’s legbreakers. In this case, hisbah is ‘beer-breakers’.

    Beer wasted. My weekend is ruined. I think we should set up a fund a statue a memorial to all those poor bottles of beer who will never come back, Requiem in Pace.

      I believe that much of that beer was destroyed by the Nigerian police in the privacy of their homes. So refreshing.

    Yes, I understand how 99 bottles of beer on the wall steadily decrease to none, but this is ridiculous.

    Its not like muslims don’t drink beer. But its they forbid others to touch the devils brew.
    This is like homosexuality. They shag each other and Thai boys but forbid others as its wrong.

      Islam is the religion of dualism … there’s usually a way around a restriction for Muslim males. Muslim males acquaint themselves with all the Sharia dodges and laugh about it among themselves.

    Correct me if I’m wrong; alcohol bad, murder okay. Now that’s real intelligent. Islam is backward.

      Yep–that’s Islam…

    I wonder whether he actually said “crusade” or was it the translator’s way of conveying the message in a fashion English-speakers would know…

    Notice that they didn’t destroy any bottles of Captain Morgan’s rum. This shows that the Sharia Police are at least open to compromise. This might even make them Unicorns, of the legendary cohort called Moderate Moslems, who are not extremists or Islamists or anything crazy like that.

      Brilliant, APF!

      This a reference to this story, also from today:

      “Captain Morgan rum website asks visitors to confirm they are non-Muslim”

        The Sharia police probably destroyed a certain amount for show and the supervisors and a small number of trusted goons took the rest of it home.

    Nigeria, land of boko haram, slaughter of Christians, raping of little girls, burning houses, churches and fields.
    On to other things…pouring out thousands of bottles of beer…so the non moslims can’t consume it. How many bottles did they sneak away for themselves? What will they do to the infidels they find drinking in that country? Will it be a war on beer?

    And, lo and behold…Nashville, TN just elected a moslim “immigrant” from Nigeria to their “Metro Council.”

    Ah, Nashville…home to country music…and so many, many country songs have lyrics about drinking, sitting on bar stools, beer, wine, meeting people in bars, etc. What’s going to happen now?

    George and Garth can begin singing about pouring beer down the drain, and insisting everyone else does too. No more “whiskey drownings and beer chasing” the blues away. And no more offering to buy the girls a drink.
    Will Travis and Clint agree or protest the ban?

      Suicidal insanity from Nashville.

        More likely abysmal ignorance, gi. Amazing, is it not, that eighteen years after 9-11 and despite the massacres at Fort Hood, Orlando, Chatanooga, San Bernardino, ad nauseam- not to mention the thousands of REPORTED jihad attacks worldwide since 9-11 – most people here are still in the dark about the intrinsic and ineradicable malevolence of Islam and, inescapably, so many of its adherents.

    Did Ibn – Sina send the 196,400 empty bottles for recycling? Where are the left environmentalists on this? Crickets.

      “…Islam forbids alcohol consumption and all other intoxicants that can distort the mental capability of a person.”
      Sounds like Islam should in fact forbid itself, since it certainly does exactly that – distort the mental capabilities of its adherents, resulting from its dualism, sacralization of bloodshed, violence, hatred, and intimidation, etc.

    What if I pulled a Muslim woman’s hijab off her head and then ripped it into pieces?…

    • gravenimage says

      Is this a serious question? You don’t have to stoop top assault to oppose Islam.

      • gravenimage says

        to assault
