WHERE DID BOKO HARAM COME FROM?
The Parrot (Newspaper) of October 12, 1960 wrote
what Ahmadu Bello, the Sardauna of Sokoto said
twelve days after Nigeria's independence from Britain:
'' The new nation called Nigeria should be an estate
from our great grand father, Othman Dan Fodio. We
must RUTHLESSLY PREVENT A CHANGE OF POWER. We
must use the minorities in the North as willing tools,
and the South as conquered territories, and never allow
them to have control of their future''.
This is what Abubakar Tafawa Balewa, (who later
became the first prime minister of Nigeria) said prior to
independence while speaking in the Northern region's
house of assembly: ''We do not want sir, our Southern
neighbours to interfere in our development. I should
like to make it clear to you that if the British quitted
Nigeria now at this stage, the Northern people would
continue their interrupted conquest to the sea''.
Mallam Adamu Ciroma said ''Jonathan's ambition is
dishonourable because he is pursuing it at the expense
of the North which was entitled to 8 years under the
zoning agreement for power sharing between North
and the South''. He warned that the North was not
leaving things to chances. In his words ''Even if
President Jonathan manipulates the party primaries
and eventually emerges as PDP presidential candidate
in 2011, the North would deploy other options,
including a consensus candidate to command popular
support''.
In March, 2012 Adamu Ciroma said: ''God will bring a
new Usman Dan Fodio to clean up Nigeria.
A former governor of Kaduna state, Alhaji Lawan Kaita,
recently took the agitation for a 'northern president' in
2011 to a worrisome dimension. He was reported as
saying that the North would make the country
ungovernable for President Goodluck Jonathan if he
emerged as the winner of the forthcoming election. (in
Kaita's words): ''Anything short of a Northern president
is tantamount to stealing our presidency. Jonathan has
to go and he will go. Even if he uses incumbency power
to get to get his nomination on the platform of PDP, he
will be frustrated out. THE NORTH SHOULD NOT BE
BLAMED FOR THE CALAMITY THAT WOULD BEFALL
NIGERIA if Jonathan emerges as the president''.
I am afraid if he (Jonathan) insists on standing for the
presidency, there will be all sorts of confusion that
could compromise the unity of Nigeria- Shettima Ali
Munguno.
North ready for Nigeria's break up- Junaid Mohammed.
Such careless statements were made by other Northern
leaders like Senator Kanti Bello, Hassan Mohammed
Jalo, Bello Kirfi, Yahaya Kwande and Abdulrahman
Danbazau.
Their Inspiration: Sharia Laws.
Jihad, defined as “to war against non-Muslims to
establish the religion,” is the duty of every Muslim and
Muslim head of state (Caliph). Muslim Caliphs who
refuse jihad are in violation of Sharia and unfit to rule.
A Caliph can hold office through seizure of power
meaning through force. (Suggesting the possibility of a
coup if Goodluck Ebele Jonathan does not vacate the
presidency).
It is obligatory to obey the commands of the Caliph,
even if he is unjust.
A caliph must be a Muslim, a non-slave and a male.
(Boko Haram demand: Jonathan must become a
muslim).
The Muslim public must remove the Caliph if he rejects
Islam.(Jonathan rejected their demand).
A Muslim will be forgiven for murder of: 1) an apostate
2) an adulterer 3) a highway robber. Vigilante street
justice and honor killing is acceptable.
A Muslim will not get the death penalty if he kills a non-
Muslim, but will get it for killing a Muslim.(What
happened to members of Boko Haram arrested by the
police and JTF).
Non-Muslims are not equal to Muslims under the law.
They must comply to Islamic law if they are to remain
safe. They are forbidden to marry Muslim women,
publicly display wine or pork, recite their scriptures or
openly celebrate their religious holidays or funerals.
They are forbidden from building new churches or
building them higher than mosques. They may not
enter a mosque without permission. A non-Muslim is no
longer protected if he leads a Muslim away from Islam.
(Christian are prevented from rebuilding damaged
church buildings or building new ones)
A non-Muslim cannot rule — even over a non-Muslim
minority. (Jonathan is ruling the whole country, joy
over the death of Christian governor of Kaduna State)
-It is obligatory for a Muslim to lie if the purpose is
obligatory. That means that for the sake of abiding with
Islam’s commandments, such as jihad, a Muslim is
obliged to lie and should not have any feelings of guilt
or shame associated with this kind of lying. (The
common lie is attributing the Boko Haram menace to
Christians and denying that Boko Haram is wholly
islamic).
Demand for amnesty and negotiation;
Jizya- Protection money.
This practice enabled Muhammad and his successors to
fund Islamic military expansion and the lifestyle of the
religious class through extortion from non-believers. In
630, the prophet of Islam first marched an army into
Christian lands in what came to be known as the
"Battle of Tabuk." In fact, there was no battle because
there was no opposing army. The residents were taken
by surprise. Some were killed, and the survivors were
forced to pay protection money to Muhammad. (Clearly
abrogating the previous rule of "no compulsion in
religion" that contemporary apologists are so fond of
repeating).
In 643, Tripoli was conquered and the native Christian
Berbers were forced to give their wives and children to
the Muslims as slaves to satisfy the jizya.
This lucrative extortion racket was practiced down
through the centuries and was a part of the brutal
Ottoman rule over Christians, Jews and others. The
Serbs of Europe were particularly hard hit and often
had to hand over their children to satisfy the collector.
The children were then converted to Islam and trained
as Jihad warriors for use in foreign campaigns (the so-
called Janissaries). Does this remind you of almajiris
that are mainly children of the Hausas conquered by
the Fulanis in the. 19th century jihad?
In India, well into the 17th century, Muslim tax
collectors would also take the wives and children of
impoverished Hindus and sell them into slavery for the
jizya requirement. The only way for many to avoid
losing their families was to convert to Islam. This
tremendous discrimination is how Islam made inroads
into populations that wanted nothing to do with it.
Technically, there is no such thing in Islam as an
innocent non-Muslim, which makes those ballyhooed
condemnations of "terror against innocent people"
even more useless. There is a basis for protecting the
"People of the Book" (originally Jews and Christians,
but later extended to Hindus when Muslim leaders
realized that killing them was not as profitable as
taxing them). These would be those who place
themselves completely under the rule of Muslims,
relinquishing all rights and agreeing to finance the
Muslim expansion. Unfortunately, even this has not
been enough to spare religious minorities from
extreme persecution and massacre.
Traditionally the collection of the jizya occurs at a
ceremony that is designed to emphasize the
subordinate status of the non-Muslim, where the
subject is often struck in a humiliating fashion. M.A.
Khan recounts that some Islamic clerics encouraged tax
collectors to spit into the mouths of Hindu dhimmis
during the process. He also quotes the popular Sufi
teacher, Shaykh Ahmad Sirhindi:
"The honor of Islam lies in insulting the unbelief and
the unbelievers (kafirs). One who respects kafirs
dishonors Muslims... The real purpose of levying the
Jizya on them is to humiliate them... [and] they remain
terrified and trembling." Islamic Jihad
British preacher, Anjem Choudary, points out that "the
normal situation is for [Muslims] to take money from
the kuffar" (at the time, he was encouraging believers
in the UK to quit working and live on public benefits).
The Qur'an also affirms that the collection of jizya is is
the ideal relationship between Muslims and non-
Muslims. The verse mandating this (9:5) occurs much
later than the verse stating that there is "no
compulsion in religion" (2:256), meaning that it takes
precedence and abrogates the earlier verse. This is why
Islamic purists such as Boko Haram and the Taliban
wish to reinstate the jizya.
Contemporary Muslim apologists frequently tout the
earlier "no compulsion in religion" verse when
attempting to portray Islam as peaceful, and are
somewhat reluctant to admit that the jizya is a penalty
for not being Muslim.
Tolerance in Islam isn't free. The jizya is money paid by
non-Muslims so that they can keep practicing their
religion. Under Islamic law, if the money is not paid, the
people are to be killed or enslaved.

Our northern brothers know what they are doing and they can't deceive us that it is not their game plan to frustrate the government. Our GOD must surely expose them and Boko Haran will be crushed.
