Northern Nigerian Killer Muslims At Work Again

CAN decries religious mayhem in Kano
From Saxone Akhaine, Kaduna
FOLLOWING the alleged killing of some Christians in Judun Dankande Local Council of Kano State at the weekend, the General Secretary of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), Mr. Samuel Salifu, has called on President Umaru Musa Yar'Adua to intervene urgently.

According to Salifu, who urged the government to bring the perpetrators to book to forestall further violence, Christians would no longer condone any attack on them.

The CAN scribe spoke with journalists in Kaduna at the weekend, pointing out that reports reaching him from Kano State indicated that there was trouble in Tudun Dankande local council.

According to him, nine persons, including a youth corps member have reportedly been killed over an Internet cartoon said to have emanated from a 20-year-old Moslem boy from Bangladesh.

Salifu noted further: "Information available to me is that almost all the churches within that local council area have been razed and shops belonging to Christians have been razed and in houses where they dwelled in, we have been told that they have been ejected and their property brought out and burnt.

"The information given was that they saw a cartoon on the Internet and they still discover that this cartoon was drawn by a 20-year-old Moslem boy from Bangladesh and they decided to visit their anger on innocent Christians and their churches.

He remarked that Christians and the leadership were getting extremely worried because both the Christians and Moslems leaders have been holding series of meeting within and outside the Nigerian Inter-Religious Council (NIREC) to see how to bring about peaceful co-existence between followers of the two religions."

The CAN Spokesman wondered: "I don't know, if they don't have control over these people, then this NIREC meeting is going to look to me like a very useless meeting because we will meet, they will go and kill, we will meet, they will go and kill, then they turn round and say they are not proper Moslems. How is it that they cannot take care of their own people? We have hoodlums among the Christians too, but we don't allow them to go and kill any body. So this issue of hoodlums are not limited to Kano or anywhere.

"We are pleading with the government to step in. I am directly telling President Yar'Adua because this may be a litmus test for his administration.

" So far, both Christians and Moslems in the country seem to appreciate what he is doing. But if he keeps quiet and talks about rule of law and doesn't try quickly to intervene in what is happening, then he will now begin to see that there is a different law running in this country because the Christians will not just continue to watch while people just slaughter them as they like ,

"They cannot control their anger, they take knives and slaughter. When you tell them what they are doing is wrong, they will turn round and start to kill. Very soon, there would be a lot of blood shed unless they stop this nonsense because the church is getting fed up."

According to him, he had tried to contact some Moslem leaders on the issue: "I tried to call the Secretary General of the Supreme Council of Islamic Affairs (SCIA), Lateef Adegbite, he too was surprised that he was just hearing it. I called one of the anchor Moslems in Kano, Prof. Yadudu,  but he was out of the country."

"I tried to call the governor of Kano State, but he too is out of the country. Most of the time, these people are out when these things are happening. So it cannot be a coincidence again. It looks like a plan, which they are orchestrating. Once they plan that something is going to happen, they just disappear and then tomorrow they will say we should come and talk in NIREC. This is why many Christians are questioning the relevance of NIREC in the midst of all these atrocities".

Maybe Davidylan has a point after all.

Northern Muslims are just unmannered beasts
with a religion that obtains from the cesspit 

I will shout it loud like the neighbourhood muezzin in Sabo garin

that would be suicidal oh.  

i am a free speech fighter.

if i can withstand the murderous Burmese generals,
what more a couple of skinny, black as charcoal, desert sand infected,
Arab wannabe ingrates 

Why should the christains complain when muslims kill them for no reasons?

Christians should be able to respond in kind especially if they kill those that are guilty of killing innocent christians otherwise it will amount to both christians and muslims being accused of killing innocent people.

Every soul that kills an innocent person deserves to be killed.

May be we should look into the issue of legitimate possession of arms in this country, a lot of innocent lives have been wasted and all we get is talk and meetings.

@ i-man,
why is it that anytime you open your mouth, SHIT FALL OUT

so it is all the muslim that are savage according to you abi?

when they kill people in the east, somebody like me never say it is the christians
but some ruffians, hoodlum or whatever.

when the area boys in the east attack women in trousers, some idiots like you
are shouting sharia

bros get a life. this hatered for islam will get you no where

@ i-man,

hatered for islam will make your

eye red
mind hard
brain shallow
blood pressure high
thinking small

and if you no take time your heart fit explode anytime

At worst you were advocating that Christians kill Muslims,at best you are guilty of your typical muddled thinking.What does Christians responding in kind mean ?Is it up to Christians to dispense justice?

@osereka

This one you dey follow me around like homo,wetin imbecille like you dey find for discussion forum?  No be must say u go talk something.I dey speak to u in pidgin because say na the best way,a benighted imbecille like you fit comprehend wetin I dey write

You have done what I wanted you to do - reproduce my statement in full and not criminally reproducing part of it for your usual game. Thanks for doing the right thing, you see, gradually you are getting better, hope the trend continues.

You never learn, you just forgot the remaining part of the statement or did you allow the evil part of you to take control again?

Knowing fully well that the complete statement makes nonsense of your accusation you have chosen to reproduce part of it.

Don't worry, people who come here have the capacity to think for themselves, you don't think for no one here. Don't you ever get tired of being wrong?

Instead of all this gibberish, may be together we should focus on:

Why Muslims and Christians can not relate harmoniously?

How can Muslims and Christians work together as one?

Hey, the country is big and it's full of people with different religious beliefs and characters; hence, it is inevitable not to have conflict between these people from time to time. But what we can do is to continue to introduce better strategies to bring all these people together.

Fact: These folks are not going anywhere, and if our goal is moving our country forward, I think it is time to take this religious conflict serious and focus on uniting the nation. There is no moving forward if people are divided into several parts because of religious attitude toward one another.
Trust me, corruption is a minor issue compared to religious crisis.

Forget politics; religious crisis is the last thing we need in Nigeria and I hope this new administration takes this issue serious.

Why don't you come out of the mango tree so you can see clearly.

I made it crystal clear that chrsitians reserve the rights and should in fact kill muslims that kill innocent ones. The important issue here being that no innocent person should die for any reason and as such I will not support the killing of innocent muslims.

If you failed to see my position on this thread right from my first post then it is safe to dismiss you as someone that is just out to write nonsense.

And by the way I have better things to do than chase anyone around on any public forum. Get your facts right.

Islamic religion is a militant religion. Anyone should go and check their history.

Otherwise why would someone kills someone over a mere cartoon or kill someone over what he or she says ? Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, and there is democracy in Nigeria. Anybody is free to criticise muslims or their religion or even their satanic prophet without any fear.

The muslims or the so called people who practise Islamic religion do criticise Christians and the christians have not because of that kills any muslim for it.

I cannot understand why the government should even permit the practise of that demonic sharia law in a secular country like Nigeria in the first place.

Enough is enough. The government should make it a law that anyone found guilty of killing anybody for whatever reason should be brought to justice. I recommend the should kill them also.

I cannot understand a religion that have no respect for the sanctity of human life.

There is nothing anyone can tell me about this satanic Islamic religion that would convince me that it is a religion of peace.

The other time, it was a cartoon in Demark. What I cannot understand is what has a cartoon in Demark got to do with Nigeria for God sake.

It seems as if these Northern Nigeria muslims are blood thirsty human beings. When will Yar'Adua rise up to this challenge ?

The funny thing is that these Nothern Nigerian muslims wants to be like Arabs, but the Arabs HATE BLACK PEOPLE, WHETHER YOU ARE A MUSLIM OR NOT, IT DOESN'T MATTER. THE ARABS DON'T SEE YOU A BLACK PERSON AS A HUMAN BEING.

God have mercy !!!!!

What I don't understand about these religious fanatics is when they will ask

their God to come down and fight his own fight.

And which nonsense confab is that. This isn't a case of religious intolerance.

These are murders, and like the thousands who have died before, those who perpetuate these

inhuman crimes get away with it.
