Time for another Muslim cleric in Nigeria to write another lengthy explanation of how Islam is a religion of peace. “Christians Killed in Central and Southwestern Nigeria,” Morning Star News, November 29, 2020: JOS, Nigeria (Morning Star News) – Fulani herdsmen attacks on predominantly Christian communities in Kaduna state on Saturday night and Sunday morning […]
Nigeria: Sharia police conduct door-to-door search at resort, hunting for sinners
What fun they’ll have when they’re in charge in Europe. “Hisbah Conducts Door-to-door Search To Fish Out ‘Sinners’ In Kano,” Sahara Reporters, November 27, 2020 (thanks to The Religion of Peace): Officials of Hisbah in Kano State on Friday conducted a door-to-door search at Hills and Valley, a holiday and relaxation resort located at Dawakin […]
Nigeria: Death toll in latest jihad massacre of farmworkers rises to at least 110
“The general spirit of Qur’an and the Sirah of the Prophet is to extend one’s compassion and mercy to all men and women inhabitating the planet.” — Ashraf Amin “War is deceit” — Muhammad (Bukhari 4.52.269) An update on this story. “Boko Haram kills at least 110 civilians in this year’s ‘most violent direct’ attack,” […]
Muslim cleric: ‘All forms of violence and terrorism are against the refined ethics that are propagated by Islam’
Murtadha Muhammad Gusau is the Chief Imam of Nagazi-Uvete Jumu’ah and the late Alhaji Abdur-Rahman Okene’s Mosques, Okene, Kogi State, Nigeria. Here he offers yet another Islamic condemnation of terrorism that falls short of its sweeping claims, but will no doubt fool many nevertheless. Comments interspersed below. “There’s No Violence, No Terrorism In Islam,” by […]
Nigeria: Muslims tie up agricultural workers and slit the throats of at least 43 of them
“When you meet the unbelievers, strike the necks” (Qur’an 47:4). “Boko Haram Kills at Least 43 Farmworkers in Nigeria, Militia Says,” Agence France-Presse, November 28, 2020: MAIDUGURI, NIGERIA – Boko Haram fighters killed at least 43 farmworkers and injured six in rice fields near the northeast Nigerian city of Maiduguri on Saturday, anti-jihadist militia told […]
Nigeria: Kano state Sharia enforcers confiscate and destroy 1,975,000 bottles of beer
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 […]
Nigeria: Muslims enter Christian village, start shooting, murder 12 people, kidnap women and children
If the international media took any notice of this at all, which they will not do because it doesn’t fit their global narrative of Christian oppressors and Muslim victims, it would take the form of hand-wringing articles about “Islamophobia” in Nigeria. “Islamist Militants Kill, Kidnap Christians in Northeast Nigeria,” Morning Star News, November 4, 2020: […]
Nigeria: Muslims ambush Christians, hack one of them to death with machetes
The international media will take no notice of this. If Christians had hacked a Muslim to death, which would never happen and should never happen, it would be international headlines for weeks. But this doesn’t fit the media narrative, and so will not be widely reported upon. “Young Christian Man Hacked to Death in North-Central […]
Nigeria: Muslims murder 14 farmers, 30,000 murdered in the region in the past decade
The slaughter of innocent people by jihadists in Africa, including the ongoing genocide against Christians, continues to be virtually ignored. “The violence, which has killed more than 30,000 people, has spread to neighboring Niger, Chad and Cameroon,” while “3 million people have been displaced in more than a decade of terrorist activities by Boko Haram.” […]
Nigeria: Sharia police ban stylish haircuts, sagging trousers, playing of music at social events
I’m with them on the sagging trousers, but anyway, remember all the people who insisted that Sharia was completely compatible with Western secular values, and that anyone who thought otherwise was a racist, bigoted “Islamophobe”? “Like In Kano, Hisbah Bans ‘UnIslamic’ Hairstyles, Dressing In Kebbi State,” SaharaReporters, October 6, 2020 (thanks to The Religion of […]
Nigeria: Muslims kill two young Christian women, six-year-old boy, and 64-year-old man, kidnap other Christians
The world yawns. This doesn’t fit the establishment media narrative of Christians as white supremacists and Muslims as victims, and so it will be ignored. “Children Killed, Christian Leaders Kidnapped in Nigeria,” Morning Star News, October 2, 2020: JOS, Nigeria, October 1, 2020 (Morning Star News) – Two young Christian women and a 6-year-old boy […]
Nigeria: Sharia court sentences 13-year-old boy to 10 years in jail for blasphemy
Such barbarism is actually merciful in a Sharia context, since the Sharia death penalty for blasphemy is death. This is yet another indication that Sharia has no place in Western societies. Yet increasingly, the freedom of speech is being curbed so as not to offend the sensibilities of Muslims (who have been conditioned under the […]
Nigeria’s president: Trump “looked at me in the face. He said ‘why are you killing Christians?'”
Nigeria ranks 12th in the Open Doors USA World Watch List of the worst countries for Christian persecution. Fulani jihadists and the Boko Haram jihad group brutalize and slaughter Christians on a routine basis. For some odd reason, Buhari — himself a Fulani and a Muslim — decided to be honest about what transpired between […]
Nigeria: Muslim attacks on Christians increase, country is now ‘biggest killing ground of Christians in the world’
In Nigeria, Fulani jihadists “now pose a greater threat than the Islamic terror group Boko Haram.” Meanwhile, as jihadists continue to slaughter Nigerian Christians on a more or less daily basis, the Pope and many other Christian leaders continue to prioritize political correctness in the face of Christian persecution, so as not to offend Muslims. […]
Nigeria: Muslim cleric says any Muslim lawyer who defends man accused of blasphemy has left Islam
This is effectively pronouncing a death sentence on any lawyer who defends Yahaya Aminu-Sharif. Apostasy carries the death penalty in Islamic law. This is based on the Qur’an: “They wish you would disbelieve as they disbelieved so you would be alike. So do not take from among them allies until they emigrate for the cause […]
Nigeria: Muslims attack Christian village, burn church, kill man, kidnap four children
Just another day in Nigeria, as international indifference continues. The victims and perpetrators here don’t fit the narrative, and so incidents of this kind are ignored. “One Man Slain, Children and Others Kidnapped in North-Central Nigeria,” Morning Star News, August 28, 2020: JOS, Nigeria (Morning Star News) – Fulani herdsmen attacked a predominantly Christian village […]
Sunspots? New York Times defends Nigerian atheist who called Muhammad a terrorist
Given the New York Times’ track record, it’s safe to say that if Mubarak Bala were an American and a Christian, the Times would be excoriating him as an “Islamophobe,” not writing an admiring piece about his courage and independent thinking. Note also that even here, the Times continues its practice, shared by all of […]
Nigeria: Muslims murder 11 Christians, including 16-year-old girl, loot and burn village
No one cares. Wrong victims. If the perpetrators and victims were reversed, which would never happen and should never happen, this would get international attention. Commissions, studies, feature articles, government inquiries about Christian “Islamophobia.” But this? No one cares. In fact, if you report on incidents of this kind, you’re a “white supremacist.” “Pastor, 16-Year-Old […]
Nigeria: Muslim singer sentenced to death for blasphemy, Muslims burn his house down
This is all because of a song in which, critics claim, Yahaya Sharif-Aminu “praised an imam from the Tijaniya Muslim brotherhood to the extent it elevated him above the Prophet Muhammad.” The substance of this charge shows that ultimately any expression of any non-Muslim religious faith is blasphemous in Islam, as it would involve the […]
Nigeria: Muslims murder wife, mother, all children and other relatives of one Christian, 13 people in all
The world yawns. Wrong victims. “Muslim Fulani Herdsmen Kill 14 Baptist Christians in Kogi State, Nigeria,” Morning Star News, August 4, 2020: JOS, Nigeria (Morning Star News) – A Muslim Fulani herdsmen raid on a village in central Nigeria’s Kogi state on Wednesday (July 29) killed 14 Baptist Christians, including 13 members of an extended […]
