Kano Mob Kills 50-Year-Old Muslim For 'Blasphemy' by nossycheek(f): 11:02am On Aug 11, 2008
As reported by the Daily Trust

A 50-year-old Muslim man, who allegedly made a blasphemous statement against Prophet Muhammad, was beaten to death in Kano on Saturday.

The man was killed at Sheka Aci Lafiya quarters when some angry Muslim youths besieged his house and beat him to a state of coma.

He died shortly after a team of police and Hisbah officials rescued him from the mob, the police said. The man died as he was being rushed to the Murtala Muhammad Specialist Hospital.

Witnesses told Daily Trust that the man, though a Muslim, made a statement residents considered as blasphemous against the Holy Prophet after his relatives denied him his share of the estate left by their deceased father.

He was beaten and left unconscious before the police intervened and dispersed the crowd.

But for the quick intervention of the police and Hisbah officials, a full-scale crisis would have erupted, residents said.

A witness said, “Many youths carrying various types of dangerous weapons have started grouping themselves for further action over the issue before the police and Hisbah men dispersed them.”

He said the victim made the alleged blasphemous statement Friday night and repeated same on Saturday morning.

When the news spread to the neighborhood about the man’s statement, a group of youths mobilized and attacked him.

A witness, Ali Muhammad, told our correspondent that the man was beaten with sticks and other local weapons and was left “in the pool of his own blood.”

When contacted, the Police Public Relations Officer SP Baba Mohammed confirmed the incident. Mohammed said the man was rescued alive but later died while the police were conveying him to the hospital. He said investigation is still onby the police to trace the persons responsible for the attack.

Mohammed said no arrest has been made yet, adding that the police had restored law and order in the area.


Again nobody mentioned what the man said and even if he did, why fight for your god?.

@Nossyckeek:
While it is a bad thing that the man was beaten at all, worse that he lost his life, we can not but at least assume that the "killers," do lack knowledge of Islamic jurispudence. It is clear that at least this group of youths have learnt nothing from the prophet (as), worse, nothing from the Qur'an at all, where the blood of muslim is sacred, as well as the blood of all humans.

If they were going to have justice on this man, they should have had him in Sharia court, were he would be allowed to defend himself. Lacking knowledge is a great emotional disease. I ask God Almighty Allah to Overlook the fault of the deceased man. And admit him among the righteous. And count not in his record any of his evil deeds, including what he said that he lost his life for. Amin.

Now girl, those who do not fight for their God, or gods in your case, can not expect the same or mercy from that Deity, or deities. In my case Deity, while in yours deities. Moses was ordained to end the life of Fir'awn an his army. He did. He was also ordained to kill many a nation on the way to palestine. He did. Jericho fell without even any trees left standing.


@Rampant: Abi oooooo, why would you not fight for son god, or father god, or holy spirit god? You will let them be killed again, and again, and again, maybe this time without the cross? Anu mpam! I am learning from you. You are a good teacher, even though your method is terrible.

Why this people are taking so much interest in reporting such incident that a Muslim group of people committing such an act of violence in their vicinity. Can we educate our self to this kind of information. In everyday life violence are always reported either Christian or Muslim. Why exposing this kind of incident just for the Muslim? Are their Zero incident committed by Christian everyday? Try to goggle and search how many crimes are reported and unreported done by the Christian world. why take so much interest to destroy The Name of Muslim? Why in every accident or violent Religion is always the culprit than by individual? Why if violence committed by the Christian religion are out of it?

I don't know why you're feeling persecuted over this story.

Did you not read the part where it says the man was killed because THEY SAID he blasphemed the name of Mohammed?

I doubt you're Nigerian. Its always obvious when a non-Nigerian muslim is talking.

(3) March 624: Asma bint Marwan

She was a poetess who belonged to a tribe of Medinan pagans. She composed a poem blaming them for obeying a stranger (Muhammad) and for not taking the initiative to attack him by surprise. Perhaps in March 624, when the Allah—inspired Prophet heard what she had said, he asked, 'Who will rid me of Marwan's daughter?' A member of her husband's tribe volunteered and crept into her house that night. She had five children, and the youngest was sleeping at her breast. The assassin gently removed the child, drew his sword, and plunged it into her, killing her in her sleep. [5]

That was insult? I did not feel a thing. First i had to laugh, because Queenisha broke into real Nigerian language. That was interesting. I had just finished talking to Zainab, and I was just going to send it to her email to read, so that i could know the meaning. Well i will not do that. And i am not upset.

What if I told you about preemptive strike. Is that a good military strategy or that was just cruelty? Queenisha, when a person declares war against you, or inspires a person to fight you, please consider the inspirator your enemy. For if she or he has a chance to do you any form of harm, it will be done without batting an eye!

Now the woman who used what the arabs at that time were known for, poetry to inspire enemity towards my noble prophet deserved death! For what she had said was that they should have attacked him by surprise, then she deserved death. Queenisha, let me warn you as a good friend, when you hear any of your patient encouraging people to do any harm to you, call the cops, right away.

There is a saying that whatever locks in the heart, is what comes out when a person is drunk. Just imagine how long that evil woman had kept that thought in her heart until God revealed it? She was not killed for blasphamy, but threatening the life and encouraging other to intend to do harm against the person of Muhammad (AS). She qualified him as a stranger so that they will have less love and attachment to him!

This is the problem we have in Islam today. Many people just get to be in Islam by luck of inheritance. However, no personal effort to learn how Jihad was carried out by the prophet. I have a similar issue in my family; a kind of brainwash in the name of religion. Jihad is not only carry matchet or beating people carelessly. It is even the last and final stage of Jihad accordingly. Prophet Muhammad was abused in the face, he was called different sort of names which even, many of us could not even bear it if we were called such. Did the prophet killed them? I believe the man could not have done up to when Muhammad himself was alive. I remember a bhudist came to urinate in the mosque, prophet could have order to kill him, however explain to the man what was wrong in his habit. To all muslims, especially people from northern nigeria, lets learn how to correct our greivances and reaction to internal and external actions. May almighty Allah fogive the man killed and grant him paradise. In my own sense, if the man did, I believe it is out ignorant. He doesn't know Muahammad.

once again,  try to understand the Nigerian situation.

Imagining Islam is the same all over west Africa, is a delusion.

Nigeria isnt like some other west African countries that are 98% Islamic, regardless what your Muslim Nigerian brothers are telling you.

No one is saying there's no crime in the Christian parts of the country. What the article is about, is the random killings in the name of Islam, which occur more frequently in the Muslim north.

If you visit the political and crime section of nairaland, you'll find news stories on various crimes there, not specific to religious affiliation.

This topic I'm sure was moved to the muslim section due to the jumpy morals police who are always sniffing out any topic that mentions Islam.

so before you start feeling like a victim, show some concern for people who are real victims. Unless you support the manner in which they were killed.

You see, when someone talks about the fundamental principles of Islam, you find people calling you all sorts of derogatory names. Fundamentalist, fanatic, terrorist and so on. I think it would be hypocritical to assume or hide what differentiates a real Muslim from an hypocrite. Unfortunately, the name you call people who don't compromise faith is as well used by Muslims who define themselves "moderate". Islam is not a religion that the western ideaology necessarily have to cling to but rather a religion that advocates laws that Muslims need to follow.

Therefore, a good Muslim doesn't have to spread violence but at the same time wont sit in the midst of those who ridicule Islam which that Queenisha happens to belong in. She only post crimes by Muslims which in any case has no mission but to create a negative opinion about Muslims which you have also done. By the way looks have nothing to do with what you're, handsome, ugly o. God only needs your heart.

It should not be like that, I feel sorry for that victim, who suffered from brutally cowardice acts than by his fellow Muslims or family members.

My point here every violent behavior the name Muslims is always associated with his/her Religion. On the other hand, if violence committed by other parties likes the Christian or Jews you cannot read or mention what religion they affiliated. It means they consider then as under the category of Christianity either whatever denomination or ethnic you belong except Muslims. This is the problem that I like to emphasize here no matter how you explain to them that Religion has nothing to do with individual act of violence, because every individual front to commits violence in term of cultural differences, political, tribalism, racism, terrorism, family feud, etc.

What are happening now the spread of Hatred to the Muslim world are enormous? The entire Muslim are suffering to this kind of maniac propaganda done by the media of giving such miss inform reports. We are trying to educate people here to read more about Islam and get enlighten.

did you read my post at all?

and did you notice the part where I pointed out that this particular thread was probably moved to the Muslim section thanks to the department of vice and virtue police who are always on the lookout (like you) for any thread that mentions Islam or Muslim.

And before going off on a tangent, did you notice the topic is about a man who was murdered because he alledgedly blasphemed your religion?

Your attitude seems to indicate you agree with the almajiri killers, since so far you've shown no concern at all about the victim. You're more bothered with finding out if similar religious murders are carried out by other religions, in the same manner.

You must surely be joking with your statement about religion having nothing to do with this kind of violence. Please tell that to your compatriots around the globe.


I don't know which hatred you're talking about.  Which religion doesnt have haters.  Maybe you're being sarcastic sha.
