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

Supreme Council for Sharia in Nigeria accuses UK, US, Canada and others of bias against Nigerian Muslims

Nov 7, 2020 1:00 pm By Christine Douglass-Williams 18 Comments

By now, it is obvious (at least to anyone who is paying attention) how Islamic supremacists manipulate the word “Islamophobia” to subvert free societies. The word is employed skillfully by the Organization of Islamic Cooperation, and particularly promulgated by Pakistan and Turkey.

Those who would call out the human rights abuses that are committed in the name of Islam are smeared throughout the West now, via Muslim Brotherhood operatives, as “Islamophobic”; the French cartoons depicting Muhammad are deemed “Islamophobic” by the multitudes of Muslims that are protesting around the world, justifying violence against those who display them.

Particularly disturbing now is the news that despite the pervasive persecution of Christians by Muslims in Nigeria, and the genocide of Christians that taking place in other areas of Africa as well, along with parts of the Middle East, Christian clerics in Nigeria are being called “Islamophobic” for their “End SARS” (SARS–Special Anti-Robbery Squad) protests against police brutality. They are being accused of inciting attacks against Muslims.

The reality is exactly the opposite. Less than three months ago, Nigeria was reportedly “becoming the world’s biggest killing ground of Christians.” And nine months ago, Christians marched “all across Nigeria” to protest persecution.

Nonetheless, Christian clerics are getting blamed for the End SARS protests. The Supreme Council for Sharia’ah in Nigeria has also accused “the United Kingdom, United States, Canada and some other countries of bias against Nigerian Muslims.” No valid reasons were provided. Nor was there any acknowledgement of extreme Sharia-justified human rights abuses that have been committed against Christians in Nigeria. Nothing was said about sectarian police brutality or corruption. There were only irrational, unfounded accusations of “Islamophobia.”

This accusation of “Islamophobia,” in Nigeria of all places, should prove to the West that nothing Westerners do, other than completely surrender, will be enough. Any protest anywhere, or any defense of freedomsanywhere (even on Western soil) that does not exalt Islam to be peaceful or which violates Sharia norms will be deemed “Islamophobic.”

Islamophobia is the catch-all term to protect Islam from scrutiny and criticism.

“#EndSARS: Islamic group accuses UK, US of bias against Nigerian Muslims,” by Abdulaziz Abdulaziz, Premium Times, October 23, 2020:

The Supreme Council for Sharia’ah in Nigeria (SCSN) has accused the United Kingdom, United States, Canada and some other countries of bias against Nigerian Muslims.

Addressing a press conference on Thursday in Abuja, the leadership of the council claimed that those countries often take positions without interrogating all sides of claims.

“We are deeply concerned about the one-sided positions often taken by Nigerian allies, such as the UK, US, Canada etc, without recourse to verifiable evidence.”

Muhammad Bin-Uthman who read the text of the press conference on behalf of the group’s secretary general, Nafi’u Baba-Ahmad, called for “restraint, impartiality and commitment to truth and fairness in taking positions on issues affecting Nigeria.”

The three countries mentioned by the council have issued statements condemning shootings of protesters at Lekki toll gate in Lagos on Tuesday. They also called for an end to the violence that has resulted from the crackdown on protesters nationwide.

The group alleged that the #EndSARS protests changed from “a patriotic undertaking into a religious and regional conflict” due to “unguarded utterances” of some Christian clerics. Mr Bin-Uthman did not mention any names.

The group said Muslims and their property came under attack by violent mobs in the wake of the #EndSARS protests due to the alleged inciting comments.

“It is unfortunate and disheartening that some individuals, including notable Christian clerics, rather than cautioning their followers and help contain the escalating violence, they instead aggravated it through their unguarded utterances.

We strongly believe that those utterances, sometimes from the pulpit, helped in turning what was presented as a patriotic undertaking into a religious and regional conflict as we are witnessing now.”….

    ‘The word (islamophobia) is employed skillfully by the Organization of Islamic Cooperation…’

    Oh no it isn’t. It’s only a piece of important-sounding verbiage thrown in front of an audience for effect either on the assumption that no-one knows what it actually means or (just as likely) the people using it don’t know what it means either but it sounds impressive and they can’t think of any intelligent argument to be carried on all the hot air they insist on spouting as they inflate their bloated egos on the world stage. If this wasn’t the case, they’d know full well the the object(s) of their customary vitriol were intelligent beings and quite capable of coming to a properly-informed opinion of islam which would in no way resemble an ‘irrational fear’, and that firing ridiculously irrelevant and effectively meaningless buzz-words at their opponents at every opportunity (because they can’t think of an intelligent argument) isn’t at all impressive and is only likely to make them look pretentious and stupid. So, sorry, not impressed. And, talking about ‘pretentious’, neither am I impressed by this ‘Supreme Council’ epithet, which just seems to be another piece of sublime pomposity along with all the important ‘councils’, ‘commissions’, ‘parliaments’ they regularly cobble together for the sake of a bit of cheap faux status where it’s neither relevent nor t deserved

    Canada too? Now who’s being racist. Canada has done more to support Muslims than Gazans and Palestinians combined. It’s not their fault that a lot of French is spoken there or that the Queen is on their cash.

    There is no precise definition of ‘Islamophobia’, and thus, it may be applied to any criticism of Islam or Muslims in general, not matter how justifiable the critique.

    The purpose of the ‘Islamophobia’ smear is to avoid all criticism of Islam and Muslims without any exceptions.

    It is thus impossible for any valid criticism of Islam or Muslims to be acceptable.

    It’s the ultimate ‘GET-OUT-OF-JAIL-FREE’ card.

      “Islamophobia” – an valid and genuine fear of bring run over by a truck, stabbed, raped or beheaded by a Muslim.

      Trudeau rewards convicted Muslim terrorists.

      Quebec buys terrorist oil from Nigeria.

    Bias against Muslims? Seems to me that’s the only way to be. They are the biggest a-holes to have been spawned by their creator and master, the one and only Satan itself!

    I can understand the USA being on the list… It will always be because it is top-dog infidel power… a permanent eyesore for these mad creatures… But cannot understand why those dhimmi appeasers UK and for goodness sake.. super-dhimmi Trudeau’s Canada on this list? Will Trudeau at least introspect now? But that will be too much to expect from that fool.

      The UK and Canada, despite all of their appeasement of Islam, are still too Infidel for Muslims. They do still actually condemn Jihad terror, no matter how weakly.

    I think Nigerians are very smart people overall.

    I think Islam is the religion of Satan the devil. I think Muslims are brainwashed to believe that Islam is so wonderful and Allah is so merciful.

    There is no excuse whatsoever to kill anyone who is not bothering you. But Muslims are taught to kill infidels, as per verses 8:12 and 9:5 in the Quran.

    So I feel justified in being Islamophobic and I am proud of it too.

    These bloody savages can call me whatever the hell they like, I dont give a damn, as their backward beliefs and opinions are of zero concern to me, however my humble opinion of their faith seems to be so important to them that they may wish to kill me because I refer to it as a Fascist Religious Cult as I guess that hurts their wee feelings, so if I am named as islamophobic then I will fly that flag high..
    Fuck islam..It is pure evil, Satan on a Camel.

    Islam is dangerous, so sane people must oppose that inhumane religion for the sake of humanity. I’m glad that I left that religion of horror two years ago. It’s “holy” texts and “teachings” are sadistic and are full of “how allah will torture the unbelievers in hell forever”, “you believers are superior to the unbelievers”, “beat your wife” and “persecute and stone the adulterers”. There is much more evilness in it, if you read the quran you can see.

    When Muslims read the quran in their native language they leave islam. Any person with mind who cares about humanity oppose islam after reading it’s texts. Those who promoting the “islamophobia” hoax are nothing but hypocrites. Sadistic, evil god of islam hates infidels and advocates the murdering of them. Inhumane sharia discriminates and persecutes women and infidels, yet they cry “islamophobia” when we oppose that injustice. Well, I am not an “islamophobic”, I don’t fear islam and its helpless god. I just oppose the sadistic religion and always will, forever.

      I only wish this were always true, Mafya. Actually, most Muslims who read the Qur’an become more violent. Most Muslims embrace the violence of their religion.

        Sadly, some Muslims are caring about their religion and it’s evil god more than humanity. As quran is full of inhumane verses, a person who cares about humanity should oppose islam after reading it’s texts. Former Muslims that I know are mostly left islam after reading the quran in their native languages. Because their minds and conscience prevailed over evil. But some people who lost their hearts are still defending that sadistic, discriminatory book.
