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

Nigeria: Christian org warns that some Muslims are trying to impose Sharia, “Democracy and Sharia are incompatible”

Feb 14, 2020 2:00 pm By Robert Spencer

“The truth, however, is that Democracy and Sharia are incompatible and Sharia cannot displace Democracy, the deliberate policy of some Nigerian Islamists in keeping with Sharia culture is attempting to replace democracy with Sharia by first pretending that Sharia and Democracy are compatible (taqiyya) until such a time that Sharia will dominate and make Democracy impossible to exist in Nigeria.”

These Christians are in regular contact with Muslims in Nigeria. Where did they get these ideas, which would be dismissed in the West as “Islamophobic”? From their lived experience.

“Christian Elders say Sharia replacing democracy in Nigeria, warns of civil war,” by Seun Opejobi, Daily Post, February 12, 2020:

The National Christian Elders’ Forum, NCEF, has lamented that some Nigerian leaders are working towards replacing democracy with Sharia in the country.

NCEF said Sharia culture will soon make democracy impossible to exist in Nigeria because some of the country’s leaders are pretending that both are compatible.

This was disclosed In a statement titled: ‘National Christian Elders Forum, NCEF, Reconciliation through litigation,’ signed and issued yesterday by the Chairman of NCEF, Elder Solomon Asemota.

It, however, maintained that the culture of Sharia can’t replace democracy in Nigeria.

The body decried that Nigeria was heading towards extinction….

“The truth, however, is that Democracy and Sharia are incompatible and Sharia cannot displace Democracy, the deliberate policy of some Nigerian Islamists in keeping with Sharia culture is attempting to replace democracy with Sharia by first pretending that Sharia and Democracy are compatible (taqiyya) until such a time that Sharia will dominate and make Democracy impossible to exist in Nigeria.”

The Christian elders also cautioned against the possibility of another civil war, stressing that such may not augur well for the country….

“We must go to court to educate Nigerians on Democracy and Sharia. We must emphasize that we, the Nigerian Negros do not hate Muslims; we reject Boko Haram, Fulani herdsmen, bandits in addition to Sharia in the Villa,” he said….

This is coming at a time the Senior Pastor of Dunamis International Gospel Centre, Paul Enenche said there was war in Nigeria.

Enenche had said the war was aimed at wiping out the practice of Christianity and Islamizing the country….

        Muslims pushing sharia and saying it is compatible with democracy are lying like a rug

    “Democracy and Sharia are incompatible.”

    Truer words have never been spoken.

      Wellington, just in case some Jihad Watch readers missed a feature article from 2017, I’m including the link below:

        Thanks for the link, James.

        Hmmm. About three years ago and nothing has changed. Well, fitting since it’s about 1400 years ago and nothing has changed. But I kinda’ repeat myself.

        Barbaric Islam. But I repeat myself.

      What is happening in Nigeria will eventually happen in Europe.

    Democracy and sharia are incompatible. That’s a statement of fact you will never hear spoken at a Pentagon strategy meeting. Anyone who dared to say it would be quickly shown the door and would kiss his military career goodbye.

    So… It is not just a Catholic Priest in Lonsdale, Minnesota stating the obvious. Good for them..
