On The Zamfara Killings; Time To Speak Out. by dipsix: 5:21pm On Aug 25, 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. |
