MURIC To Law School: "Do Not Sandwich Salah Day For Us" by Lukgaf(m): 11:39am On Jul 15, 2021
An Islamic human rights organisation, the Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC) has kicked against the dates picked by the Nigerian Law School for the screening of its call-to-bar candidates. The Law School had picked 19th and 21st to screen the fresh law graduates. MURIC described the dates as anti-Muslim.

This was contained in a statement issued by the group’s director, Professor Ishaq Akintola on Thursday, 15th July, 2021.

The statement reads:

“The Nigerian Law School has scheduled the screening exercise for its fresh graduates for 19 th and 21 st July, 2021. This is in spite of the widely publicised dates of the Muslim festival of Id Al-Adha (Salah) which are 19th, 20th and 21st July, 2021. The message on the Law School portal showed that 19th and 21st July 2021 are the screening dates while 28th and 29th July are for call to bar.

“Considering the fact that 20th is now known to be the real date of Salah and the Federal Government is certain to declare two days as holidays, the two screening dates (19th and 21st July) picked by the Law School are too close to call. Afterall, Muslim faithfuls are expected to travel to their home states inorder to meet members of their families just as Christians do during Christmas.

“By sandwiching Salah day between its two screening dates, Law School has deliberately created inconvenience for its fresh Muslim graduates as well as its Muslim staff. The school has also encroached upon the public holiday declared by the Federal Government.
“It is a most unfriendly, uncharitable and unhospitable act. It is undisguised manifestation of malice and an open declaration of hostility against Nigerian Muslims. How on earth are Muslims involved in the screening exercise expected to join their families to mark the Salah, particularly those who have to travel long distances?

“But are there no other options? Were those options explored at all? Must the screenings be done on 19th and 21st July unfailingly? Were there no Muslims among those who fixed the date? Did anyone call attention to the implications of the chosen dates for the Nigerian Muslim population?

“These are questions begging for answers and only the Council of Legal Education can provide answers. We therefore appeal to the Council to do its findings and call the Law School to order.

“The action of the Law School constitutes a gross violation of Allah-given fundamental human rights of Muslim candidates who are expected to attend the screening. It is unlawful, illegal, illegitimate and unconstitutional to fix any official function, exercise, examination or screening on a public holiday. Law School can be challenged in a court of competent jurisdiction by any Muslim candidate who missed the screening, particularly on 21st July, 2021 because it is a public holiday. Any screening done on a recognised public holiday can be declared null, void and of no validity whatsoever.

“We therefore call on Muslim candidates affected by this draconian screening schedule not to panic. We advise them to simply ignore the screening of 21st July and enjoy their Salah holiday. It is their right and their right is their right. Nobody, not even ‘almighty’ Law School, can deprive them of it. We charge the Muslim lawyers to dust their law books and be prepared for a long legal battle on this matter. MURIC may have to challenge Law School in court if any Muslim candidate is illegally disqualified.

“Gone are those days when Nigerian Muslims were led by their noses. Today, we refuse to be intimidated. We will no longer kowtow to the pooh-pooh of our oppressors. We will use every legitimate means available to secure freedom for millions of Nigerian Muslims wallowing under the repression of their religious freedom.

“Law School must know where Nigerian Muslims are coming from. Our Salah days were taken from us by the colonial master. No holidays were declared for Muslim festivals during the days of Christian British colonial rule. But Christmas was marked with holidays, funfare, pomp and pageantry, all at the expense of tax payers and from our common patrimony.

“What Nigerian Muslims suffered under the Christian British imperialists is akin to what the blacks went through in apartheid South Africa. Nigerian Muslims went to school on Salah days. Public offices were opened for work and no Muslim civil servant dared to be absent. We began to secure our civil liberties gradually after independence.

“The struggle for liberty for Nigerian Muslims is the greatest test for democracy in contemporary Nigeria. Meanwhile, the genuineness of our democratic claims will depend on whether or not, and the extent to which, Nigerian elites are willing to allow Muslims to enjoy the dividends of democracy.

“We, therefore, urge the Law School to join hands with us in the struggle for freedom, equal rights, justice and equity. This can only be done if all stakeholders in the Nigerian Project jettison all vestiges of colonial mentality. Anything else will not fly. Our message to the Law School is ‘Don’t sandwich Salah day. Let the Muslims go’.”

What is there to be tolerant about when your Religion consider others as infidels as such should be killed or treated as second class citizens.
Always complaining about how they want democracy and secularism when they are in the minority but when they attain majority status they want SHARIA.

Even your pedophile leader Ahmed was preaching peace and tolerance when he was a minority in Mecca but once he attained majority status in Medina he became a tyrant. Asking non Muslims to either be killed or accept Islam or pay Jizya

No 2
I intentionally skipped the first one for now
1- As muslims we are encouraged to begin our every actions by the name of Allah, and for the 'Basmallah' to appear at the beginning of every Surah it surely has some significance, some of which are as follows:
The Quran been a treasure of divine knowledge to which access cannot be had without the special favour of God (None shall touch it but the purified (56/80)).Bismillah has been added to the beginning of evsry chapter of the Holy Quran to remind a muslim that in order to have access to, and benefit by, the treasures of divine knowledge contained in the Holy Quran. He should not only approach it with with a pure heart but should also constantly invoke the help of God.
2- Another importance of it is that. It is a key to the meaning of each individual chapter of the Holy Quran, as all questions affecting moral and spiritual matters are related in one way or the other fo the fundamental Divine attributes Rahmaniyyah (grace) and Rahimiyyah (mercy). Thus each chapter, in fact, forms a detailed exposition of some aspects of the Divine attributes mentioned in the verse
I have serious issues with this take.
1. Who added it to every surah? Why?
2. The question is about why Allah begin every surah with bismilah not why Muslims say bismilah.
Remember I said concise this long story about nothing makes no sense bro.

Al right, I want to know these things
1. If Quran was written (produced) by Allah an Al knowing God why did Allah say that Alexander the Great travelled to the place of the setting of the sun and found the sun setting in a murky water?
2. Why did Allah always start surah with in the name of Allah?
3. Why did Allah goof in his embryology claim in the Qur'an?
4. Why did Allah call Allah the best of creators if Allah is the only creator?
5. Why is almost everything reveal to Ahmed by Allah through jibreel are just to please Ahmed (reference Aishat say "Mohamed is the ethic of the Quran in one of the Hadiths)
6. Why was the Meccan revelations sublte and Medina revelations violent?
7. Why did Quran claim that the kitab of the Jews Nad Christians were sent to them by Allah and was protected by Allah from error in one hand and then claims that it has been corrupted by the Jews Rabbis and the Christian teachers in another hand?
8. How can Allah expect Muslims to be truthful in one hand and Allah sanction Taqiya in another hand?
9. Why is Allah always revealing verses to Ahmed in the defend Ahmed? At least Allah should reveal to another person to defend his apostle grin
10. Why is Allah not sure about what he would do to Muslims (reference - Allah always say maybe Allah will forgive your past, present and future sins grin
11. Oh lemme stop here and give you time to respond

PS: let your responses to each of these questions be relevant and concise
Also for 6 the meccan chapters been subtle and the medinite chapters been "violent" as you claim. Makes it very easy to determine your motive for asking such, but i will like you to judge without any prejudice, were the muslims even after migration to medina more than the meccans in numbers, and were they also well equipped with arms etc ?

You're making this very difficult for yourself not me. Give answers in a single response so that I can respond to it. I understand that you Muslims love to change topics once you're boxed in to a corner but please do it if you must with dignity and wisdom.
The question is why are the Meccan surahs subtle and the Medina surahs violent not about the number of migrants and their army of bandits
