Truth is, they are out to take over the government hiding under the exercise of their rights to freedom of worship and movement. They embark on a March and erect illegal roadblocks overawing and making life difficult for other citizens in the process of which they get into an inevitable clash with security forces only to thereafter scream blue murder! It is classic display of Taqqiya (play the victimized until you are strong enough to suddenly overrun and take over power). Those who know it recognise it!!

Nobody is taking over the government. Ask your government to be just by releasing El-Zakzaky and his imprisoned followers as well as arrest nd prosecute the perpetrators of the 2015 Zaria massacre. Christians, Sunni Muslims, at al block the road all the time, in the name of worshipping their respective Gods. What's good for the goose is good for the gander.

The problem is when you take over a highway and disrupt everyday life.

why will they just decide to occupy the road and start causing traffic for the man and women struggling to survive on the street..

Nigerians are full of hypocrisy... Though what they are doing is wrong... no one stops the catholics when they parade the road... when the Christians also celebrates their palm Sunday... causing traffic.. which is common in Lagos... smH

It is wrong for any religious group to block the road for whatever reason! That exactly is my point! Fundamental rights are not absolute!! “Ask your government” further illustrates my point to the effect that your sect is not in sync with government and is out to subvert and take over same by playing the victim. #taqqiya

Why would them want to islamize Nigeria by all means

The Shiites are not trying to islamize anyone, the sunnis are. Boko Haram are Sunnis. Fulani Herdsmens are Sunnis. The Shiites, by the looks of things, are very peaceful and just want a place to worship peacefully. The same evil ones killing Christians are the same ones attacking them.

simple English you cannot understand.

When you don't understand Sarcasm! You're talking to a PhD holder in Linguistics from Witwatersrand, South Africa(1987). I consider Nairaland to be more of an Academic forum than anything else. This is evident in the calibre of opinions expressed here. So when you talk, know how to choose your target audience. We don't talk down on people - only trying to put things straight.

And the law will deal with them if they don't respect the right of others.

The law will deal with them by the use of military might to gun them down on the streets

You Muslims don't get it, no one is against celebrating whatever type of religion festival on the road, but while doing it allow others sharing that same road to use it. When Catholics celebrate palm sundays they don't block other road users from using the road. But shiites takes complete possession of the road on most occasion. The footage of d Nigerian army pleading with them to allow them pass is on youtube, reason all these are happening just to curtail their impunity, or else it might escalate into something uncontrollable. I see no reason why a small group of worshippers will block the chief of army staff from using any road, it is an insult to we as a nation. The army is the pride of any nation, a country with weak army force is a weak nation...Regardless of the era of government we are in, be it democracy or military...

i saw them with my own eyes they started from Masaka or even farther I think , they were more than 4000 if not 6000, they caused a heavy hold up that lasted for hours ..

Wow, that means they came from different directions o, cos the ones I saw at Kubwa were not that much

keep kwayet, you even have no idea about the people you are talking about, Fulani is a tribe not a religion, they have both Christians, shitte & sunni Muslim in them. You have never being to kaduna when Shiites are doing thier things, in fact the video which they try to beat up military generals as they try to use a public road is enough to show how peaceful they are, I seriously don't know where you get the idea that d Sunnis are trying to Islamize Nigerian, a country with millions of Christian, even the radical boko Haram who actively persue that goal ain't up to 20k in number

These shiites are the most dangerous and most violent of the Islamic lots. Non tolerant of fellow Muslims and most brutal against any Christian. They don't obey any law nor respect any other faith. You need to see them in action during religious crisis. The federal government already have adequate intel on them. Worst than Boko boys. Allow them penetrate Abuja and the south is gone. They are backed with enormous funding from Iran and Jordan to propagate islamization.

Most people don't know the shiites. They are very very dangerous. Even feared by fellow northerners. Throwing stones at armed soldiers and the video recorder saying " Keria ne"(it's a lie). With this ordinary civilians can't stand their assaults.

Military service is no joke. You're committed 100% to defend and die defending. No one should insult the military. Rubbish your military and you have rubbished your nation. A whole CAS convoy being waylaid is just direct attempt at committing violent suicide.
The CAS must be commended for being civil.

"It is wrong for any religious group to block the road for whatever reason." Thank you! So the next time Redeemed or some other religious body blocks the road in any part of this country, be it Mowe, Zuba, Zaria, Central Area (Abuja), or Minna, I expect that security agents would be there dispersing such crowd. No be so?

Certainly. And if they throw stones at the law enforcement agents who are employed to clear the roads they’ll be dispersed!

How does their marching affect your right to worship.?

Do they march everyday.?

Islam does preach disharmony, killing of non Muslims and causing panic. This their nonsense walk isn't Islam. It's not an act of worship in Islam. If they claim they are remembering Husain that was killed thousand of years ago, was He killed in Nigeria? Please go wherever He was killed for your procession.
