CAN blasts El-Rufai over alleged comment on Jesus Christ

On January 30, 20139:42 pm/In News, Top Stories/Comments


…urges FG, JNI to call him to order

BY JOSEPH ERUNKE

ABUJA—The Christian Association of Nigeria, CAN, Wednesday, described recent statement linked to former Federal Capital Territory Minister, Mallam Nasir El-Rufai, on Jesus Christ, as not only reckless but also indicative of deep-seated moral bankcruptcy.

El-Rufai had tweeted on January 28, that “if Jesus criticises Jonathan’s government, Maku, Abati or Okupe will say that he slept with Mary Magdalene”.

Addressing newsmen on the issue, CAN warned El-Rufai that “if he persists in such matters and making such divisive commentaries, he must prepare himself for a very forceful and vigorous reaction from the Church and the Christian community in Nigeria”.

Speaking through its General Secretary, Rev. Musa Asake, CAN warned that the “maturity and dignified restraint of the Christian populace, in the face of inflammatory and provocative statements, should not be taken as licence for unbridled assault.

“We urge his religious leaders and political associates to advise him to be far more sobre and circumspect and put a padlock on his mouth before he lights the candle that sets our country on fire.

“On our part, we urge the Christian community and our Christian youths to continue to be restrained and always seek peace, love and harmony, in spite of the provocations that they are facing from the likes of Nasir El-Rufai and those he represents.

“We must not allow him to turn Nigeria into a cauldron of fire by his reckless, bigoted and twisted commentaries about our Lord or our faith and we must view him for exactly what he is, a failed, desperate, hate-filled and drowning politician, who is now stoking embers of religious division to create a political base for himself amongst his people.

“Nigeria has no place for a religious bigots who delight in insulting the Christian faith.
“We urged the Federal Government to call Nasir El-Rufai to order and not to overlook the possibility that his joke was not only contrived but was actually calculated to create an even greater wedge between Christians and Muslims with the attendant consequences.

“Had it not been for the maturity, fortitude, patience, decency, forgiving nature and deep sense of restraint that the majority of Christians have in our country, El-Rufai would not have been safe anywhere in Nigeria today after cracking such an expensive joke.”

Hey CAN! In Christianity there is freedom of speech, unlike ISLAM. Christians do not fight for God because their God is capable of fighting for himself, unlike the other ''god of the religion of piss''. So please leave that runt of a man, ElRufai, to continue to blab. He will soon meet heavenly fire that will burn him to smithereens.

If you love God, there is no way you will not be pained when he is mocked or insulted.

How did this kind of person become a governor? He took side with the military after shiite killings, now on the negative side of Christians - something should be done before he distroys the multi religious state he is heading.

If indeed El-Rufai actually said this, then I must confess he is an INEFFECTIVE BUFFON.
BTW, I am a muslim but the statement is very reckless and completely irresponsible. The last administration preyed on the religious and ethnic fault lines for the last election. Thank God for HIS miraculous grace that made us escape another Rwanda genocide. Hence, the last thing we need now is stewpid politicians that will cause unnecessary acrimony among the people.

Lol

Once more stop making yourselves look stupid el rufai is on his own in kaduna your attacking him for a retweet but your leaving out the person that tweeted the real thing

Besides what was wrong in the statements, its people like you that give christianity a bad name a very bad name

God is not a politician and if he were he will definately not be part of you clowns
Re: CAN Blasts El-rufai Over Alleged Comment On Jesus Christ by Opinedecandid(m): 7:08am On Feb 02, 2016
Although there is nothing wrong for us to condemn such inflammatory outbursts as Christians, but let El Rufai be rest assured that the Son of God he has opened his dirty mouth to blaspheme is capable of shutting that trap for him permanently. And He might just do it THIS YEAR!
Re: CAN Blasts El-rufai Over Alleged Comment On Jesus Christ by oteneaaron(m): 8:00am On Feb 02, 2016
You guys are here shouting and screaming....go and read the gnostic gospels.......read the gospel of phillip....nd the gospel of mary Magdalene........

Even the bible says--"and if all the things jesus "did" was written, the scrolls of d world would not contain it"

Jesus did a lot of things that the nicean creed attendees and the guys who decided which book was "canonical" carefully omitted from "our" precious holy book.

After all the Quran didn't omit the so called atrocities of prophet Muhammed.......

So take a chill pill.....its possible Jesus and Mary had a romantic relationship......

After all it was unnatural for a jew of his age -30 years upwards- to not be married.....(conji na bastard)....

It all depends on whether you see him as ur saviour or not.


*let the bashing begin*

The truth is a bitter pill to swallow.
