Nigeria: Muslim mob burns home, tries to kill Muslim singer accused of blasphemy against Muhammad

Mar 9, 2020 12:00 pm By Robert Spencer

A glimpse into the future of the West.

“Nigeria: Muslim Mob Burns Home, Tries to Kill Muslim Singer Accused of ‘Blasphemy,’” by Ben Kew, Breitbart, March 5, 2020:

A mob of aggrieved Muslims in Kono State, Nigeria, attempted to tear down the house of and kill a singer who they believe insulted Muhammed on Wednesday, leading religious authorities to release a call for public calm over the matter.

The angry mob also staged a protest outside the office of the Sharia police, known as the Hizbah, who they felt were not taking sufficient steps to punish the man for blasphemy. They also complained that similar incidents of people speaking freely in criticism of Islam regularly occurred across the state but were not fully investigated.

“Already the police are on top of the situation since the incident occurred,” Hizbah commander Harun Ibn Sina told Vanguard in an interview. “We have visited the residence where it took place.”

“The people were trying to demolish the house and kill the accused person involved in the blasphemy against Prophet Muhammad,” he continued. “The police were there but the person that sang the song had escaped.

Sina also tried to issue a call for calm, explaining that the Sharia police were handling the situation and urged the public not to try and take the law into their own hands.

“Those who came to show there concern felt like the government was doing nothing about it,” he explained. “I wish to call on the public to remain calm as the parents of the singer are with the police and they are on top of the situation.”

The singer, known as Yahaya Sharif-Aminu, is himself said to belong to the Tijjaniya sect of Sunni Islam popular across western Africa, many of whose members believe that its founder Ibrahim Niass was a more influential figure than Muhammed.

Family members of the singer are also facing retribution for their relative’s supposed crimes. Many have already been subject to violent attacks after protesters, the majority of whom are young men, set fire to his family home. His family since been forced to go into hiding….

    For the self righteous cult of Islam there will always be someone to kill for not living up to the allegedly high standards of the beloved Prophet Muhammad. He deemed all music to be haram so singing in itself should be sufficient reason to end his life.

    We need more news like this in the MSM for people to understand the lived religion of peace

      sadly, Goofy, theCable.ng is only MSM in nigeria – if there. the liars here in the u.s. (and in EUrabia) won’t publish this because they don’t give a s**t about black people. apparently, only their own rich white a**es make any difference in the world, so only stories about EUrabians and north americans are worth publishing.

      as usual, the hard-core left and their uneducated provincial followers only publish propaganda.

      The most significant words in the above:

      “A glimpse into the future of the West.” It’s become inevitable.

        This is only inevitable if we allow it to happen.

          I’m curious as to how we will stop this.

          We already have a moslwmmpopukation that we know will continue to grow. And it grows faster than the US population .

          As if that wasn’t enough, we have groups like CAIR who actively promote the civilization jihad that is slowly changing America, making it more and more sharia compliant.

          We have more and more moslems running for political,office, where they have power and influence , and actively promote and support the Civilization Jihad….and supporting other moslems in their attempts to force Islamic influence onto America as well as encouraging and assisting more Moslem to run for political office. Or to get into ANY kind of position that offers power and influence to spread Islamic influence even more in America.

          I’m not saying that Islam will take over in 5 years, or 10 years. But it WILL take over …and it will take over even faster if we get a president who will allow the unrestricted Islamic immigration to continue, and sign onto the UN Unlimited Migration Pact.

          So how do we stop this? Knowing that our politicians don’t have the courage to stand up to groups like CAIR , or who fear offending moslems , in order to make the changes that would at least slow the Islamic take over?
          There are so many liberal leftists that delay and stop any of the attempts that politicians do make towards stopping the spread of Islam in America. These same libera ,leftists support moslems when they sue because of “ religious discrimination and so Moslem can sue employees , wear the hijab and get prayer rooms and washing facilities…this spreading the Islamic influence and making way, setting legal precedents for even more spread of this Islamic influence.

          Civil War? Is that the solution?

          I genuinely would like to know your thoughts as I have followed your knowledgeable comments for some time now. I myself have given this alot of thought and I can’t think of any peaceful, legal way to stop the spread of Islam and it’s inevitable take over ……

    Vigilantism is normative Islamic practice, rather than an aberration. Mohammed ordered Muslims to correct miscreants with their own hands, thus making individual Muslims vigilantes.

    There is no punishment in Sharia law for one who murders an apostate or blasphemer. That is why Muslims are intolerant of any criticism of Islam whatsoever. All blasphemy is AUTOMATICALLY punished with death in Islam. The only defense against the death sentence is blasphemy.

    When you have enough Muslims in your country to form mobs, you will have enough mobs to admonish and punish blasphemers. Nigeria is about 50% Muslim.

    The Koran states: “Let there arise from you a group calling to all that is good, enjoining what is right and forbidding what is wrong. It is these who are successful.” (Koran 3:104).

    A hadith states: “Whosoever among you sees an act of wrong SHOULD CHANGE IT WITH HIS HANDS. If he is not able to do so, then he should change it with his tongue. If he is not able to do so, then with his heart, and this is the weakest of faith.” (Sahih Muslim, 49)

      It’s those verses that cause Islamic society to be self policing….the more deceit police the less devout making sure they follow Sharia and don’t start gradually letting some of the more unpleasant laws fall to the wayside.

      This is also why, I believe, why in the West the so called Moderate or Westernized moslems ( those that self identify as Moslem but don’t really do more than an occasional mosque visit and maybe fast at Ramadan ) will be forced into increasingly strict Sharia compliance as the Moslem population grows.
      It helps moslems do this because they tend to cluster together , living close to each other , developing Islamic businesses that cater to Islamic needs like sharia compliant lending and halal food stores , clothing stores etc and creating islamic countries within the larger Western country ( this is where the sharia courts operate no matter what the Western country laws are regarding this).

      For example if a family’s daughter isn’t wearing a hijab and is dating, then if the girls family doesn’t do something to stop her and make her follow Sharia , the community will . To preserve the honor of Islam .

      These so called moderate or Westernized moslems won’t come to the side of kaffirs, or oppose an Islamic take over or oppose the creeping Islamic influence that’s happening now. Even if a very few might not want to live under sharia . They will be forced into it.
      The only exception would be if disobeying Sharia would help further the spread of Islam, or help in jihad, then it would be temporarily allowed .

      I’m sure there are som moslems in the West who are currently getting away with not following Sharia. But as the over all moslem population increases , this will disappear .

    I’ve decided that much of Muslim bad behavior has little to do with the Koran because most of these fools are illiterate. I think it’s more of a case of very immoral, angry, progeny of incest that behave like wolves and any excuse to become an out of control mob will do. Expressing hatred physically is what passes for a religious experience for them.

    • Wellington says

      Mar 9, 2020 at 1:37 pm

      I understand your point but loads of illiterates listen to their imams who can read and who convey to the Muslim masses the tons of hate that can be found in the Koran.

        If it didn’t so state

        It wouldn’t be there to preach.

      Kilauea, there are lots of illiterate people in the world, and they don’t just go out and spontaneously enforce the savagery of Islam.

      But there IS a difference between insulting allah{=muhammed’s sock puppet} and muhammed himself {peace,blessings,candy floss,cuddles,chocolate sprinkles ,rainbows and unicorns be upon him}

      infidel: allah is a stupid twunt of an Arab god.
      muslims:yeah,yeah..whatever..

      infidel:Well let me tell you something..muhammed was a…
      muslims:ALLAHU AKBAR,ALLAHU AKBAR!The prophet will not be insulted..

      No prophet can ever be elevated above the god he claims to follow.
      Except in islam.

      “insulting the prophet” should be considered an islamic euphemism for “let’s use this as a convenient excuse to go berserk”

      The true shuhada ver 2.0

      ‘There is no god “allah”:ah that’s just muhammed’s sock puppet isn’t it?’

        Excellently phrased! You should read the ebook “ The Prophet of Doom” by Craig Winn. You would love the way he calls out “ Allah the sock puppet of Mohammed” and his commentary in general.

        Just google “ The prophet of doom and you can read it if you like.

    Nigeria: Muslim mob burns home, tries to kill Muslim singer accused of blasphemy against Muhammad
    ………………………

    Damn thugs.

    More:

    The angry mob also staged a protest outside the office of the Sharia police, known as the Hizbah, who they felt were not taking sufficient steps to punish the man for blasphemy.
    ………………………

    This is *very* common, Even the Sharia police are not Islamic enough for these pious savages.

    Another example of Islamosteria – a violent and disproportionate Muslim mob reaction to a perceived slight to Islam.

    lot of humanitarian programs to help poor Africa, charity, volunteers from Europe, USA in Africa, schools to be build, hospitals, water wells etc. Do you know how rich Kuwait, Qatar, Emirates, Saudi Arabia help poor Africa? They spend billion to build islamic schools, and train hate speakers ..oops..imams. These African muslims learnt how to hate the West in islamic schools funded by rich in oil countries. They didn’t build any hospitals, roads, water wells, etc only islamic school where students learn Holy Quran only, by heart.

    Muhammad would be proud of the people who kill in the name of Allah, for he is the god of death. The Quran the islamic death guide to martyrdom, I say help them become martyrs if that’s their desire, a 5000 lb. bomb will meet their needs. We furnish the bomb and they disappear from the face of earth, works for me meets their needs and ours all at one time. The 5000 lb. perfect solution.
