The Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC) has said that those criticizing President Muhammadu Buhari for attending this year’s Organisation of Islamic Conference (OIC) summit are in urgent need of anti-Islamophobia vaccine.

The MURIC Director, Prof. IshaqAkintola, in a statement yesterday faulted the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), Afenifere, and Ohaneze for condemning President Buhari’s attendance at the summit. Akintola also berate a former President Olusegun Obasanjo for accusing the President of Fulanisation and Islamisation of Nigeria.

“It is pathological hatred. Those who are allergic to transparency, those who have phobia for due process, those who are ethnic bigots and those who are deeply entrenched in acrobatic religiosity are ganging up under the banner of gymnastic Islamophobia. The old order cometh again. CAN, Afenifere, Ohaneze are all Muslim-haters and what they need urgently is anti-Islamophobia vaccine.

“Come to think of it, 53 heads of state out of the 57 member-states of the OIC are being expected at the summit and majority of them are not even Muslims. Why are they singling out Buhari? MURIC will not hesitate to give proportionate response to any attack on Islam from any quarter no matter how highly positioned.

“Those who want to attack Buhari’s government are free to do so. We may ignore them. But anyone who uses religion as a launching pad to attack any Muslim leader (not Buhari alone) will have MURIC to contend with.

“That is where OBJ crossed the red line. He accused PMB of Fulanisation and Islamisation. We have no problem with the former because it is a mirage. Fulanisation exists only in the imagination of those who concocted it. In reality, Nigerians have either consciously or otherwise turned Fulanis into endangered species, pushed from pillar to post,” Akintola said.

He urged the present leadership of CAN not to start the old firebrand rivalry all over again and should stop crying wolf where there is none.

He said CAN shouldnot continue to heat up the polity or whip up anti-Muslim sentiments but should follow the path of peaceful coexistence.

“We were all here when ex-president Jonathan turned Jerusalem to Aso Rock’s backyard and the Muslims said nothing about it. CAN should eschew selective criticism,” he said. He also accused Afenifere and Ohaneze of hiding under socio-cultural identity to launch a crusade.

He said, “Afenifere has always been known as a group of deceptive crusaders in a socio-cultural cloak. The group has always pursued parochial agendum. It has always represented Christian interest alone whereas it claims to speak for the South West. No sane Nigerian takes Afenifere seriously these days.

this muric is just a group of religious fanatics or better still extremists

muric should first of all call on the fulani herdsmen and their brother the boko boys to stop wrecking havoc because they are the ones that actually need the peaceful co-existence sermon...

Ok

They are yet to condemn kidnappings and banditry.
Always in a hurry to pick on CAN and be ignored as usual

This one that ran away from a debate with Christian Prince
Akintola knows nothing about Islam

Who is Allah he could not answer
Is Allah a man or a spirit he could not answer
Half way through the debate he ran away .
Shame shame

He rejected the hadit and was still busted on koran
The man is full of lies
Only in nigeria this people are muslims
