That has been the status quo of these ragheads in the North yet they are eager to deploy the military when a people within their own rights are calling for self determination.

Well, in their skewed frame of mind they are first pro Islamic agenda , Nigeria comes second in their mind and the only time they are patriotic Nigerians is usually when access to the black gold in the backyard of the Niger Delta is being threatened .

Talk about blind stinking hypocrisy .

"But what they do not know is that, once they allow us to vote, we will all vote for Islamic parties because we do not believe in left and right. This will make us win local councils and as we begin to accumulate power in the Catalan autonomous region, Islam will begin to be implemented."

— Abdelwahab Huzi, Salafist preacher, Lleida

The issue of Israeli "occupation" of what is referred to as Palestine is one that may appear as a socio-political struggle for an independent Arab state with Jerusalem as it's capital.

This is what most of you naively tap into similar to the anti-Apartheid struggle of black South Africans.

But is the Palestine issue simply a political struggle to "liberate" the Arabs from Israeli "occupation"?

The answer is not as simple as one will expect it be but rather at the heart of the Palestine issue is actually a dark struggle of validating an Islamic prophecy handed down by the Prophet of Islam (Mohammed) to his followers that Jerusalem will become the capital of the global Caliphate ruled by the Iman Mahdi.

As long as Israel and the Jews still occupy Palestine and control Jerusalem, this prophetic claim and it's prophesier become more invalidated!

This is why the Palestine cause is more of a religious struggle with virtually every muslim on the planet taking sides with their fellow Muslim Arabs.

Amir Sanusi is no ordinary Muslim. He is in effect, by virtue of his current office, the head or leader of the Muslim population of Kano. His position isn't a traditional tittle but more of a religious one.

This is why Amir Sanusi is venting his frustrations on GEJ opting to remain neutral (as we have always done) on the Palestinian vote.

One of the biggest misconceptions most people have of islam and it's holy sites is assuming wrongly that Mecca is the most holiest of all Islamic sites. The most holy site in Islam isn't Mecca but Jerusalem and at the centre is the Alqas Mosque.

Mohammed in one of his many dubious claims, told his followers that he fell into a trance and found himself at the centre of the ancient ruins of the Jewish Temple in Jerusalem from where he further claimed he ascended to heaven. It was while he was in Heaven that he was told that Jerusalem will be the future Capital of the global Islamic empire from where the Iman Mahdi will rule the world.

The Palestinian Cause is thus a religious quest to juxtapose a long dead prophetic claim unto the world.

This is why the likes of Sanusi are throwing their weight on Palestine!

What exactly are our interest in Syria?

The middle east has always been a no-go area for Nigeria as we have rightfully remained neutral in the affairs of that region.

By attending a Conference in London over Syria what exactly is Nigeria set to gain?

Over the years successive administrations have rightfully steered clear of the middle east and our stance of remaining neutral has always been observed up till now.

Remember how we abstained from voting on a separate state of Palestine with Jerusalem as it's capital? And how many muslims in Nigeria considered this an act of betrayal and sign of the last administration siding with the "zionist" state? The misguided bigots in the north never bothered to review our history of neutrality in the middle east but where quick to jump in and use it as a sign of an anti muslim agenda by the Jonathan govt.

Now if I may ask, what is Nigeria's business in the sectarian conflict in Syria?

Does this have anything to do with the recently announced Saudi Sunni coalition which listed Nigeria as part of the evil axis?

Why must our foreign policy shift from neutrality in the middle east all of a sudden all because we have a fundamental muslim fanatic in office?

He has already messed up our economy by meddling with affairs of the CBN and ministry of finance to which he has no clue; now he is set to mess up our foreign policy and risk putting us smack in the middle of a foolish Islamic sectarian civil war.

Is Nigeria under the gworo master going to recognise the Islamic State? Because if Nigeria is to foolishly and blindly follow the saudis path then I expect Buhari to be one of the first African leaders outside Sudan to formally recognise ISIS if a deal is brokered for the establishment of a separate region within Syria for the Caliphate.

Dunce.

From the way these people are going; Nigeria will soon become an Islamic state and hotbed for terrorists and terrorism. First it was Buhari that called for their independence at the UN, now emir Sanusi. These people seem to have a sinister religious agenda and it is time we begin to take FFK serious when he talks about them.

Some months back Sheikh Zakzaky and his followers were maimed and gunned down by the instruments of state simply because they are shiites while Buhari and his people are Sunni.

We are watching.

Truckpusher:
If only more Nigerians were properly educated . Buhari will never see the seat of power. You can give all that power to an unrepentant Islamic fundamentalist and expect him not to habor the idea of total Islamization of the country or at least bring into this country all the proxy wars between Israel and the Arab world . But again did you see how the Americans kept quiet over the massacre of zakzaky's followers by the Nigerian military ?

I have been watching events since Buhari took over and the attendant conspiracy of silence is worrisome.

About America keeping quiet; I just believe it is due to Obama's limited knowledge of foreign affairs or lack of interest in Africa and her affairs. I am very sure that should Clinton win, America would make more pronouncements concerning us and people like Obj will find his voice. He can't say anything now cos he knows Buhari will hunt him down.

Hillary is a friend of Nigeria and well versed in Nigeria affairs. It is a pity that with the silence of voices like Prof Wole Soyinka and his cohorts, we the ordinary people that have been shouting, have to pray foreign governments join us in liberating us from this self- imposed retrogression and dictatorship.
