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

Nigeria: Kano state Sharia enforcers confiscate and destroy 1,975,000 bottles of beer

Nov 11, 2020 8:00 am By Robert Spencer 10 Comments

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.

Note also that at least some of this beer was likely to have been consumed by non-Muslims. Islamic apologists in the West routinely insist that application of Sharia in non-Muslim countries, such as Britain’s Sharia courts, will apply only to Muslims. Reality again and again demonstrates otherwise.

“Hisbah Enforces Sharia Law, Destroys 1.9 Million Bottles Of Beer In Kano,” by Mustapha Bagudu, The Will Nigeria, November 9, 2020 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):

BEVERLY HILLS, November 09, (THEWILL) – Kano State Hisbah Board has destroyed 1,975,000 bottles of beer, worth over N200 million, confiscated within Kano metropolis.

The state Governor Abdullahi Umar Ganduje who was represented by his Deputy, Nasiru Gawuna during the destruction exercise at Kalebawa in Dawakin Tofa Local Government, said consumption of alcohol and all other intoxicants that can distort mental capability and was forbidden in Islam.

Gawuna said, as part of efforts to enhance the welfare of Hisbah, there would be a salary increase and new uniform for them….

While expressing the appreciation of the support given to them by the State Government, Ibn Sina assured that the Hisbah would not relent in its fight against immoral acts that destroy society.

    I don’t want to sound like an Islamophile, but beer is a scourge for African economies, because they must import the hops from countries with a temperate climate, which is a heavy burden on the balance of payments. Furthermore the standard cliché in black Africa is a scene of the women working in the fields while the men guzzle beer in the shade. Consequently, in those countries and many others alcohol greatly reduces productivity while consuming scarce resources. Other countries where alcohol is a heavy burden are Russia and the Ukraine, where heavy vodka intake considerably reduces the life expectancy of males. There are villages where most women past the age of 40 are widows.

      If you think that destroying beer will change African men from loafing while having women do all the work, you are much mistaken.

      And hops are indeed grown in Africa–South Africa grows them.

      Islam is a much greater threat to African economies than is purchasing hops. Your idea that Shari’ah law improves the economies of any nations is in error..

      So the companies that brewed these destroyed bottles of beer were doing so just for the hell of it? I suggest that these bottles of beer had future consumers, which means that the economy was and would be sailing along just fine. The currencies of neither Nigeria nor South Africa are based on hops so I don’t think there is any drag on the balance of payments. Drinking alcohol is not considered an act of suicide therefore it is still quite legal. Russian, and Soviet, aircraft also reduces the life expectancy of males in Russia.

      John smith : as a Canadian Christian guy originally from Iraq, I wanna say that Muslims in Iraq especially after the fall of Saddam’s bloody regime had destroyed all the liquor stores of the Christians there especially in Baghdad and Basra after they had taken Islam seriously and those were the same Muslims before 2003 the fri new and neighbours of the Christians for decades !

    Hey if you want to stomp out Islamic Sharia law around the world just post this destruction of BEER around the internet. Beer drinkers standup for your rights to consume the nectar of the GODS. I can think of no better battle cry than to defend your BUD against the muslim/islamic invasion and attack on your beer.

    Close your borders to islam and protect your BEER.

    The Quran authorises alcohol consumption but you can’t pray when you are drunk.
