Islamic scholars condemn Xmas day bombings

Tweet 10 December 27, 2011 News

Kano—Islamic scholars in Kano have condemned the bomb attacks in churches around the country on Christmas Day.

The scholars described the attacks as “inhuman and wicked.”

Sheik Muhammad Isa described the attack as “unfortunate and heartless,” adding that that no worshiper should be attacked at aplace of worship, especially on holy days.

He said the attackers were not adherents of any faith as no true believer could cause such harm to innocent people.

Sheikh Usman Saif, another cleric, said God would not spare the bombers “for using a religious period to shed blood and upset people. people.

“How can a person or a group of people, who believe in God hurt people at such a period when people were praying to their God?”

He urged the government to step up security measures.

… lawmaker, too By Tina akannam

Dutse—Senator Danladi Sankara, representing Jigawa North Central in the National Assembly, yesterday, condemned the Christmas day bombings in some parts of northern states of the country, describing the perpetrators as wicked Nigerians opposed to the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP-led government.

Sankara, however, appealed against reprisal attacks in other parts of the country.

He said: “There is no doubt that the unfortunate blasts on Christmas day were targeted at innocent worshippers to provoke Nigerians against the leadership of the ruling party.“These acts are condemnable in every sense of it.”

Good dt some Islamic leaders r finally speaking, but from d sheikh's logic, does it mean its ok to kill on non festive days amd outside religious houses?

For d Senator,, what has d ruling partyand her government done to prevent ds re-occurrence that should absolve her from blames too?

In an Hadith, it was revealed that the Prophet Muhammad, (SAW) would join the funeral procession of a deceased muslim to the cemetry.  If it was a Christian or a Jew, he would stop all activities and commanded his followers to stand with him in respect as the funeral passed through with the deceased.  

This is a good response and I think Next Friday at Jumaat, it will be nice followup for the different mosques to give prayer service to the souls of the victims of this carnage.

homerac, dont analyse it. If they don't speak we criticize, if they speak we still criticise,
Re: Islamic Scholars Condemn Xmas Day Bombings by homerac7: 4:34am On Dec 27, 2011
^

U can't say we don't analyse it. Essence of a message is its content, isn't it? But when logic of d message is skewed, it only raises further questions like I just did. What is most expedient is an unequivocal condemnation, unequivocal being d key word!
Re: Islamic Scholars Condemn Xmas Day Bombings by Nobody: 5:23am On Dec 27, 2011
I think the effort of these Islamic Scholars is far better than the nonsense we got from the Sultan.

At least they made an effort!

These boko haramalams are becoming too cowardly like their Yoruba folks - what do u derive from bombing innocent, defenceless children and women, just like adekunle/obj and co did during the Biafra v world war!
Re: Islamic Scholars Condemn Xmas Day Bombings by Nobody: 4:01pm On Dec 27, 2011

Much appreciated Imams !!
Re: Islamic Scholars Condemn Xmas Day Bombings by rflexii(m): 4:04pm On Dec 27, 2011
@Diligence you need to be realistic, whats the point in what you're saying.

And as for me, the boko haram of a thing is plainly political and its inhuman, it has nothing to do with religion, they are just trying to make it look like its the Muslims, Islam is peace and it wont tell anyone to start bombing churches for no cause, it is even logical, if its religion, why would they also be killing Muslims as well. In Borno where there activities are very paramount, the majority of the people in that place are Muslims are they are being killed, DO YOU SEE THE PICTURE. This thing is a political issue which am sure the government is aware of, but because of some people who are in the government and are agitating for the division of our country, the government is blinded to see it.
Re: Islamic Scholars Condemn Xmas Day Bombings by ifyalways(f): 4:06pm On Dec 27, 2011
Ok !but I don't get all the "on Christmas day and place of worship" logic.
Total condemnation in all sincerity is the way to go, IMO.
Then again, you can condemn crime but still yet aid or abet. Are those boko boys spirits, where do they sleep and eat? Surely, they interract with people on daily bases. . . If only after all the screams of"I don't support boko boys" the leaders truthfully mobilize or encourage the common man,their followers to chase those demons out of their land. I'm so bored with hearing same story from the northern elites. . . Every single one of them by day distances himself from the boko bois but the truth remains that when its dark, all men are black.

And if it has nothing to do with religion why target Christians, and tell me , why do we have the same problem in Egypt, Iraq, Iran, Syria, Palestine, Pakistan, Malaysia, Indonesia etc etc. Are these all political  grin grin

Give me a break.

They are acting out their belief for world domination, but mark my word, they will fail, and woefully at that.
Re: Islamic Scholars Condemn Xmas Day Bombings by Nobody: 4:14pm On Dec 27, 2011
i actually think d reason why they r not comin out to speak is because they are scared! What if boko haram attack them after publicly speakin against BH? Willl FG be there to protect their life? D answer is nt far fetched!

There is no basis for that allegation, at least for now.

Not to play defense counsel for these Northern elites, but I am beginning to get the feeling that the Boko Haram activities are becoming diametrically opposed to their own political ambition.

Some of them are threading a very fine needle in terms of coming out and outrightly condemning Boko Haram even if secretly they might find their activities appalling.  So I do commend the courage shown by these group of Islamic scholars. The more these condemnation come from mainstream muslims, the more these extremists become isolated.

Apart from verbal condemnation, they should also work in concert with the FG (overtly or covertly) to be able to fish those marauders out.

@ posterThese boko haramalams are becoming too cowardly like their Yoruba folks - what do u derive from bombing innocent, defenceless children and women, just like adekunle/obj and co did during the Biafra v world war!

You are a GOD FORSAKEN resist and am coming foe you
Re: Islamic Scholars Condemn Xmas Day Bombings by Nobody: 4:24pm On Dec 27, 2011
The bombing is an act of terrorism and sanctions should be placed. Henceforth, NASS should make a law that any state there is bomb blast, the state losses half of its monthly allocation.

You are very correct. Majority of dis Imams/Sultans are not actually in support of the boko attacks, but they are afraid to talk cos in dis nation/state called Nigeria, you are in  totally in care of your own safety/security.

Na Them, Them !

They are the Islamic Scholars at Kano

Who were pleading with boko haram not to bomb Kano.

to avoid disruption of their business.

All are the same, so no need their sympathy .

Very courageous of them, now hopefully Boko Haram won't kill them.
Re: Islamic Scholars Condemn Xmas Day Bombings by sleek29(m): 7:20pm On Dec 27, 2011
It shouldn't stop there, they should stop all forms of hate preaching & probably do something about the verses in the quran that seems to validate the killing of Jews & xtians, as long as those things are still there, more & more youths would be brainwashed by dissident islamic scholars into carrying out more bloodshed
