On The Zamfara Killings; Let's Speak Up Before It's Too Late. by dipsix: 9:09pm On Aug 24, 2016 |
It was Edmund Burke that said, "The only thing
necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men
to do nothing".
When Boko haram started years ago, a lot of
Muslims kept quiet while they (the boko haram
members) wrecked havoc on innocent Nigerians
in the name of Islam even though they knew the
terrorists were terribly smearing their religion. It
took years before some prominent Muslims
started condemning them openly. But alas, it was
too late. The damage has already been done.
Today you will need God to convince anyone that
boko haram isn't fighting an Islamic cause.
Today, what we see all around the country is a
replication of the boko haram trademark. People
killing other people in the name of religion. They
claim blaspheming a prophet of Allah warrants
mob action against the blasphemer. How
pathetic!
Is God now so helpless that, mortals will have to
fight for Him? Was it stated in the Holy Koran
what amounts to blasphemy against the prophet
and what punishment to met out to the
blasphemer? Do we have laws guiding our
conducts as citizens? Does the law provides that
we as citizens have right to life and no one has
the power to deny us it safe the same law?
These and many more questions have been
running through my mind since this incidence.
Sadly, only a few Muslims are condemning the
act openly. Most would rather keep mute,pretend
like they are unaware of it or sit on the fence.
Sadly also, the law hasn't made a good example
of dealing decisively with people who used
religion as a cover to maim and even kill others
in the past,thereby giving would-be bigots
confidence to perpetrate their evil intentions.
The earlier every true Muslim who care about
his/her religion openly condemn these guys and
their actions, the better for us as a nation. If we
let this trend unabated, the resultant effect it will
have on our nation is better imagined. LET'S SAY
NO TO RELIGIOUS BIGOTRY. |

And they said islam is a peaceful religion.
Or is it that it's divided into two? |
