Mrs. Brigdet Agbawe, a Christian woman, was attacked by a
mob and decapitated in Wambai market, Kano, over a
religious argument.

The Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC) strongly condemns this
gruesome murder. It is preposterous, barbaric and
unIslamic.


Islam frowns upon mob action and there are laid down
procedures for apprehending anyone who breaks the law
of the land. Even where blasphemy is committed, the
woman should have been taken to the police station instead
of being brutally attacked.


There is no jungle justice in
Islam.
We charge the Nigerian Police to get to the root of the
matter and deal with the culprits according to the law.
Nobody has the right to take to take the law into his hands.


We will not stand akimbo while some misled Muslims smear
the name of Islam.
Qur’an chapter 4 verse 59 commands Muslims to obey
those in position of authority and, by inference, the laws of
the land. There must be decorum in social interface.
Anybody can fall victim of mob action if we continue like
this. Any false claim can be made against a perceived enemy
and a wild mob will descend on an innocent person or
persons before you can say Jack Robinson.
MURIC is deeply saddened by this ugly incident.

The fact
that the victim is a woman makes it more Bohemian, more
anti-social and most unacceptable by Islamic standards.


Islam teaches respect for the women folk. Prophet
Muhammad (peace be upon him) said the noblest of men
are those who honour women.
In addition, the fact that the Glorious Qur’an prohibits the
killing of an innocent soul (Qur’an 6:151 and this poor
woman must be deemed innocent until proved otherwise
by a competent court of law) is enough to denounce the
perpetrators of this heinous crime.
We appeal to the Federal Government, religious leaders and
traditional rulers all over the country to intensify
enlightenment among the citizens particularly in the area of
religious tolerance and peaceful coexistence. Nigerians
should eschew intense religious arguments except in
scholarly and friendly environments.


As we sum up, we recall that there are reports that the
police have arrested two suspects. We dare say this is not
good enough. Two people cannot publicly hold a woman
down and cut off her head. Available evidence point at the
participation of a large number of people. The presidency
has also shown interest. Heads must roll on this if we must
make it a deterrent. We therefore urge the police to dig
deeper in order to prevent future carnage. Enough is
enough.

Each time they kill they will come out to say is not part of islam. But they keep killing.

I am disappointed with all the law makers from the south that are keeping quiet. We are living with evil men, satanic minded people why can't we see the muslims for what they truly is?
