Law

I have a Rational Question to ask,
The Koran can be Found on Google Play Store and Istore which can be easily downloaded on any Mobile Device. One can't Touch the physical Koran so does this mean if someone downloads the App then such a person is liable to be killed too?
Recent activities just shows that Nigeria has been seating on a Religious Ticking time bomb and it gets triggered by the slightest provocations every now and then.

Peace is Priceless,
Terror is Senseless,
Let's give Peace a Chance.

litigator:
In February 2006, Florence Chukwu, an English teacher in Bauchi State seized the Koran of one of her students that was reading the Koran while the English class was in progress in order to ensure that the student concentrate during class. For this professional conduct, a Muslim Mob was incited against her. During the riot that ensued, Florence Chukwu was murdered as well as 20 other Christians.

On 21st of March, 2007, a Muslim mob murdered one Mrs Christiana Oluwatoyin, a female teacher in Government Secondary School, Gombe. HER CRIME? She touched a bag allegedly containing a Koran, eventhough, she did not know that the bag contained a Koran. However, even without asking her, she was declared by the Muslim mob to have desecrated the Koran. Hence, Mrs Christiana Olwatoyin was murdered in cold blood.

In July 2016, the wife of a Deeper Life pastor told a Muslim man praying right at the front of her shop to move away as he was obstructing her customers. It should be noted that the the pastor's wife had repeatedly told the said Muslim man not to pray at the the front of HER SHOP. However, for some strange reason, he persisted. On this particular day, the lady insisted that he should leave and for this, he accused her of blasphemy, incited a mob against her and murdered her.

There are countless instances where these senseless riots and violence had been incited in Northern Nigeria. Shall I reference the religious riots and killings that took place in the North Nigeria, simply because a white man in one of the Scandinavian countries drew a cartoon of the prophet or shall I talk about the religious riots and the death of more than 200 of fellow Nigerans because of an article written in This Day News Paper when Silver Bird wanted to host Miss World Beauty Pegeant in Abuja.

Eventhough, I strongly condemn derogatory statements and jokes against the prophet as every reasonable person should, may I note that the responses of my Muslim countrymen engaged in this barbaric riots and murders be condemned and opposed especially, when compared with the responses of their Christian countrymen.

For example, on 27th February, 2013, Nasir El-Rufai stated via Twitter thus: "If Jesus criticizes Jonathan's govt, Maku/ Abati/ Okupe will say he (Jesus) slept with Mary Madgalene" yet Christians kept the peace.

During Easter of 2021, the CEO of Serling Bank named Abubakar Suleiman compared Jesus Christ to our local Agege Bread thus: "AGEGE BREAD, HE ROSE". The Christians' response to his comparison was captured in the Punch News Paper thus: "AGREE BREAD ADVERT: YOUR SINS FORGIVEN, CAN TELLS STERLING BANK".

This write-up is for two purposes, firstly, to beseech my Muslim colleagues on this platform, especially those from the North to speak up and condemn these barbaric, inhuman and unlawful killings and riots. Especially, in your religious forums where such are taught and encouraged. For I strongly believe that if these killings are to be stopped, enlightened minds such as you are, must be at the fore front of the discuss. Your Muslim brothers would rather listen to you on this matter than listen to a Christian. We all owe the duty of peace, law and order to our beloved nation Nigeria. Atiku Abubakar (Former VP) condemned the killing via Twitter and facebook, but immediately some youth in Sokoto State declared that they will not vote for him for castigating their action, he deleted the post both on twitter and facebook unless you choose to believe his weak excuse. It should not be said that we turned our back to critical issues such as this for personal gains or politics.

Secondly, if the report that the riotting youth of Sokoto were able to breach the perimeters of the Sultan's palace, who condemned their action and as a result, the Sultan had to flee his palace in the company of security escort because of the violent youth.

I am of the opinion that a sitting Governor or a President maybe chased out of his state by these religious mobs if we do not nip these barbaric actions in the board.

How did we become such a lawless nation?

But then, are Islamic injunctions superior to the provisions of the constitution?

Far from it.

The court has overtime sentenced those court in the acts of death. A very learnt Islamic scholar, now the CJN, had this to say in a decided case.

And who told you that killing for Mohammed is the right thing to kill for?

AntiChristian:


If i am NOT a murderer then may you be doomed and cursed!

Lolz. You are a murderer. You support the killing of that innocent girl. You are a curse to humanity.

All your cursed will return to your head 100 folds.

Today is Sunday, what's this topic doing here?

Tzar:
So, your god is incapable of defending himself? Is that why you kill for him. Because if he is Omnipotent like my God, he will be able to deal with imbeciles that confront him.
That US that you quoted is currently the richest, most prosperous and strongest nation on earth. As well as many Christian and non Christian nations who don’t kill for their God because their God is capable of defending Himself. Just look at how prosperous Russia, Britain, France, Italy, Spain, Finland, China, India and may other countries where they don’t kill for their God whom they are sure of His competence.

in God cause not for God. And who tell u those countries are "christians" countries. Lol

Real Muslim can't take someone live , its only a fake Muslim can take live without looking back. Bandits, Boko Haram, kidnappers are all fake Muslim.people

Why didn't the imaginery christ protect the lady

Is he absent? Or doesn't exist? Or cant fulfill His promise to protect his followers? Or is the bbbile lyi*g as it used to do?

I left Xtianity because I realized it's rubbish.
What do yo expect from a god that was born by a WOMAN and ended, murdered on Cross? Didn't help himself also


The entitled punishment for blasphemy in Xtianity as I was forced study by my parents back then is death !!!

anyone who blasphemes the name of the Lord is to be put to death. The entire assembly must stone them. Whether foreigner or native-born, when they blaspheme the Name they are to be put to death.
Leviticus 24:16

Deborah killers used this verse to kill her the way the verse instruct, I think they own a copy of christ papers, bible is full of evil to its followers.

I left religion for you!!! Ath3ism all the way

Before any rotten brain qoute me, see my signature.....

We need more people like u in this world, religion is a virus.

Naajjii:

What about the military couples slaughtered by you Igbo is that not as barbaric,wicked as with what the those extremist did in Sokoto ?

see them terrorist, how many times will ipob tell u they are not responsible for the be heading of the army couple. But u hateful minds keep pressing it on them just to nail them in the outside world to justify your calling them terrorist, but your people came out openly to accept the terrorist art with matches in there hands and protesting the cuprit be released. I pity u in that part of the world

The truth remains that northerners are naturally violent and barbaric. Are there no Muslims in the southwest? How many time have you seen or heard that someone got mobbed or lynched for insulting one prophet?

That said, I'm comfortable having a Muslim from Southwest as roommate than have a northern 'Christian' as neighbour.

Who tells you some of the countries I mentioned are not? Like I said, the common thing with those coutries is that they don’t kill for their God. Unlike backward & evil people like you! What you do is not even in the Quran. You only do it to try to deceive your god that you have done something for him.
& do you think because you dress like a muslim makes you a muslim? Islam is love for God & all His creation.
You leave your corrupt politicians, civil servants & big clerics untouched, and you kill the defenseless poor. Is that Islam?
Your hypocrisy insults Allah. If anybody should be stoned to death, it is all you fake muslims who don’t practice what your Quran dictates. Until you are able to mete out the so called justice you give the poor to the rich and powerful, you will all rot in hell for your hypocrisy and evil hearts and actions.

Tissaia:
in God cause not for God. And who tell u those countries are "christians" countries. Lol

Death period

All this Yoruba Muslims and moderation

When we allow insulting messages to fester in the community, they take on a life of their own. Look at Christianity they tolerated everything and see what's happening to them everywhere, especially in the US.

Thunder fire you and your Mohamed

maestro299:
True?

truestest

Some people are still defending the actions of those that maimed and killed that poor girl..
Who bewitched Africa?
Sokoto or no Sokoto, religion or no religion, what was don to that girl is outrightly inhumane.
It gives me shivers that we coexist with those that think a god will authorize the death of someone for blasphemy.
Any god that can't fight his own course is redundant and incapacitated.
Thank GOD we still have reasonable people from Islam.

If not, I would've have been so weary and scared of my next neighbor who shares the same ideology.
Religion was shoved down our throat by foreign exploiters.
It shouldn't take us down this route we're threading.
Funniest thing is that this will go on and on and nothing would be done about it..

Unapologetically, I'm saying it with my full chest.
Let's divide this country in the way of religion and doctrines.
If you prefer sharia law go up north and live ur life there.
If you favor the Nigerian constitution, come down south and enjoy ur life.
There's no need tagging this country a secular state when a particular region or ideology thinks their belief supersedes the fundamental human rights.
O bad gan now!

They say bokoharam not acting on their behalf...but haven't they done worse than Boko Haram... their people openly support this animalistic act... they will verily drink their own blood in no time

It doesn't matter whether it's Islam or Christianity, the moment religion and politics starts mixing, impunity is imminent

humberjade:
One keeps wondering why Southern Muslims and Christians live in peace and harmony, unlike the persecution of Christians in the North (by the way, I hear Northerns don't view Southern Muslims as real Muslims)...Well, I think the difference lies in the kind of spiritual/religious/political leadership they have up North...To put their followers under a tight leash, they had to manipulate the Holy Quran to achieve this. Not only did they use extreme poverty as weapon, they twisted the words in the Quran in such a way that their followers dare not question their authority while being oppressed, but instead, carry out their anger on those whose belief differ from theirs. A typical example was how those barbarians went berserk killing innocent Christian NYSC members in 2011 because Buhari lost an election. Naturally, most Northerners exhibit high level of religious intolerance whether you blasphem or not, they will cut you down when they feel like. That's why I say it takes some steel balls to practice Christianity up core North.

Unfortunately, the only changing factor, Western Education, which could change the narrative, as been tagged as harem by this leadership (the same education the elite spend millions on their wards to acquire). And has anyone noticed that these barbarian acts mostly happen in poverty stricken cities and countries. Where there is prosperity, people seldom care who says what, they caution, persecute lawfully and that's all.

That is why i keep saying people like Professor Ishaq Akintola, Director of MURIC should be watched very closely and checked down South; his teachings are too extreme.

The key to changing this mindset lies in the leaders up North, but I bet it can never happen for obvious reasons, hence, the need to divide the country. We are two different people; culturally, religiously, and politically. The least the entity called Nigeria needs right now, is Regional Governance. Make everybody dey hin dey for hin region; developing at its own pace and practicing whatever suit its people, without holding eachother down. And gradually, whoever wants to secede can do so peacefully without bloodshed. You can't be forcing a marriage and still be looking down and hurting those you want to remain in bed with.

My advice is that, it is high time liberal Muslims rise to caution their fellow Believers who are extremists and giving the religion a bad name. The supreme God I grow up to know needs nobody to fight for Him; He is an all sufficient God.

Don't be deceived majority of the Yoruba Muslims are ill tempered and have that terrorist tendency. In fact majority of Muslims are ill tempered, there is anger or something in Islamic water they drink. The reason the Yoruba ones appeared mild is because non-Muslims are more represented in the south, if they misbehave like the animals in the north, south or sw will burn. That being said, they would have killed the girl too if this had happened in Iwo or any Muslim populated town in SW. Ishaq is a terrorist. There is just nothing peaceful about Islam to be sincere. There is a reason the Yoruba (forefathers) called it esin imole (religion of force or forceful religion), they actually saw the bloodshed to have called it that name.

Look around the world, there is religiously motivated bloodshed anywhere you have Islam. Religion of force. Even at Ile keu (quran school) they beat the pupils like they stole something, forcing them to learn arabic in the name of keu. It is of recent they are trying to change the force in name to peace.

You don't defend what is real. Christians can't fight anybody for blasphemy... Never... How can you fight for what you believed is omnipotent, the almighty, the all knowing... Etc. Muslim made blasphemy a serious crime because they know it's not real and the only way to defend it is by this threat of killing any blasphemers .

Religion

That's why God is punishing them with Boko Haram, Bandits and what have you. They are hypocrites and sinners

AntiChristian:

Lolz. So, you believe in the curses in the Bible, but you don't believe it when the same Bible said Jesus is the Son of God?

You are a liar, a murderer and a hypocrite.

I'm from middle belt and right from time we're are at peace with our muslim brothers, no be say dem dey peaceful oo it is because of the 50/50 population. dem no born dem make dem try dat shit here, everywhere go turn bloody...
To those, who think that some muslims are against that inhuman act, wake up!!! all of dem love what those stupid fanatics did in sokoto only the brave admits...
In conclusion, the real muslims are those terrorizing our dear world in the name of; a mere mortal.....

Exactly what I just wrote wrt to SW. Those SW are not peaceful na because they are put numbered. I have seen their action first class. When you pay attention to ritual killing committed in the SW, it mostly (keyword) done by the muslims. Life means nothing to them. They(most) are as barbaric as the northern animals.

A typical head slammer is mean, barbaric, wicked and oppressive. Even in this Nairaland forum, you are made to swear an oath of allegiance to head slamming, before you can comment on head slamming related posts. You are immediately suspended or your comment deleted if you speak against head slamming or head slamming regions.

As usually, my comment will be deleted soon by a head slamming mod.

Naira land has always shown a special preference for Muslims, it's baffling that the owner isn't even a Muslim.

Christians are cowards though hence the trampling.

Ademola47:
I don't think there is a section of the Nigerian constitution that precisely addresses Blasphemy.

But beyond the position of the law, I don't think it's okay to kill/die for religion. It's not worth it. Humanity first!

Section 204 of the criminal code proposes two year jail term for blasphemy. I was surprised to see it there. Never knew it was there.

MrCGPA:
Have you ever thought of how Nigeria would have developed if those Northern Muslims are not part of the Country? Trillions of Naira wasted in the North all in the name of fighting Boko haram and Bandit. Yorubas have good Muslim population but you can never see them behaving like animals in the street. Christian should just get ready. Let there be retaliation immediately if the kind of Deborah killing happened anywhere again in Nigeria.

More evidence of the importance of Shifting power to the South come 2023.

ISLAMABAD!

Most Yoruba muslim are not better, na because dem dey out numbered. Go see the way they misbehave in Ilorin. McOleomo and his fellow agberos will not hesitate to kill...na because non-muslim plenty pass them. It is a violent religion (esin imole) as the yoruba will call it.

The best thing that could have happened to this country was the 1990 coup(Gideon Orkar coup). They actually removed 5 northern states from Nigeria . Sokoto was one of the states. I wonder why God didnt allow that coup to succeed

That is the real issue dear OP: It is like pressing the trigger of a gun and expecting it not to fire. It will definitely fire. In fact it will still fire even if the gun is not loaded. So by the time you realise the consequences of your action squeezing the trigger, the deed is already done.
