Once again, the character of Islamic law, the divine Sharia, is on display. The human rights abuses it inspires are manifest and undeniable. As is always the case, Sharia is creeping, steadily expanding its influence. Nigeria was once under customary law, with Sharia limited to civil matters. Then in 1999, Zamfara State imposed Sharia, and eleven other Nigeria states followed suit. Now, in many areas of Nigeria:
In implementing the criminal aspect of Sharia, all manner of punishments are being imposed by the courts ranging from flogging, amputation of hand or leg to death by stoning etc.
Sharia is established everywhere insidiously, and maintained through fear. Yet Islamic supremacist groups are quick to call infidels “Islamophobic” for pointing out the truth about Sharia. This in itself is an active form of instilling fear into free societies in order to stymie the freedom of speech in accordance with the Sharia. Under Sharia, Islam must never be scrutinized and/or “insulted” anywhere.

Mubarak Isa Muhammed and Muhammed Bula insulted Abdullahi Ganduje, governor of the northern state of Kano.
Their video, in which they mocked Mr Ganduje for alleged land grabbing, corruption and sleeping on the job, was posted last week.
They posted the clip on TikTok and Facebook and Muhammad, who is known as Unique Pikin online, was arrested along with Mr Bula…..

They got off lightly., Under Sharia Law, they could have received 40 lashes. This will give Tik Tok users a new perspective on Sharia Law.
