“‘Clubbing, alcohol un-Islamic’ — Kwara school justifies brutal flogging of students,” by James Ojo, The Cable, October 10, 2021 (thanks to Henry):
The management of Musbaudeen Al Islamy Arabic School, Ganmo in Ifelodun LGA, Kwara state has justified the brutal flogging of some students of the school.
A video showing some students of the Islamic school being subjected to intense flogging had earlier surfaced online.
The students were said to have attended a birthday party and reportedly took alcohol during the outing.
The clip had provoked backlash on social media, as many Nigerians condemned the handling of the students by the school authorities.
But reacting in a now-viral video, a cleric at the school, who is seen addressing the students during an assembly, said the punishment was to serve as a deterrent to others….
According to the unnamed cleric, the flogging was also informed by calls from some parents who accused the school of neglecting its roles after they saw a video of the students at the club….
“Some people don’t know what some of the students that we punished did. Ours is an Islamic school and if we notice any infraction on the part of our Arabic students, we don’t take it lightly…
“When we eventually checked the said clips, we saw some of our students at a club where they were drinking. We saw a clip where one was kneeling down while others were pouring Trophy beer on him just to celebrate his birthday. In fact, a lady, who is also our student, was with them and they were hugging her….
“Those who are drinkers may not see anything bad about what these children did. But to us, expected to teach the children Quaran [sic], it’s very bad. It’s un-Islamic. We punished some four days ago and others three days ago.
“We don’t usually flog them. But their parents called us and some have assured us that they would stand with us to any length.”
‘We deserved to be flogged’
During the assembly, Abdulmumin Jibrin, one of the students who was flogged, said they deserved such punishment….
“As they flogged us on Wednesday, we believe we deserved the flogging as a form of discipline. We deserved it, but some of the students that were flogged went to post it on social media and I told them not to….

Islam creates its own system of vigilante justice squads (called the HISBAH) inspired by the mullahs who hide themselves behind taqiyya. This is surprisingly in the open … vigilantism is a violation of Nigerian law and this cleric/teacher should be visited by the police.
Keys says
Yes, he should be arrested by the police, tried, and sentenced !
But, ‘spare the sword and spoil the child’s religion’. Who cares about the child ?

Mortimer–with all respect–how is this a violation of Nigerian law? You *do* realize that most of niorthern Nigeria is under Shari’ah law? Kwara State is in middle of the country, but still has Shari’ah courts.

Well the Ayatollah Khomeini said at one time “there’s no fun in Islam”. Guess fun must be beaten out of students of Islam in order to make good jihadis of them.

Nigeria: Islamic school justifies brutal flogging of students who drank alcohol, ‘Ours is an Islamic school’
……………
Islam: drinking alcohol, demanding of vicious punishment; robbing, kidnapping, raping and murdering Infidels; perfectly Halal.
God, I hate Islam.
