I love the above quote of his. Religion most times gag people freedom of thought and tend to dubiously polarize people to conform to certain set of norms without asking "why".

Good that the guy was arrested, he should be made to face the full wrath of the law. You cannot fight for God, he is the supreme being and if need be, he just say kun fa-yakūn (Be, and it is).

Just on another note, some people with chronic religious bigotry who have been barking about a supposedly muslim-muslim ticket in Nigeria and their fake pastor counterpart will start showing their hypocrisy on this thread.

The basterrd guy ain't facing any shittt.

Iran will get him back either by exchange or other means.

.. But if he become impossible to retrieve, theyll just read him the "allahu Akbar" ACT and that's it.

It's either he commit suicide or be eliminated by the American government.
Either way, it's a win-win situation for the basterrd murderer cos he'll be busy thinking about saving energy for nacking the infamous 77 virgins in the brothels of Al Janna with Mohammed. SAW (Sex Award Winner)

Buhari is such a lucky man. Na im for first collect in the last argungu festival. The guy that rushed at him with a knife must be chilling with 72 virgins by now. The apc now lied and said the young man wanted embracing buhari, his mentor. They now went and looked for someone else, gave him a similar clothe to wear and asked to make good comments about buhari but was given a different cap to wear grin

Naija spotted the cap difference sharpali.

What happened to the Japanese prime minister Abe recently should serve as a lesson to notable people when giving lectures in public places. There'd always be security lapses.

Here's another one. 2 things are trending globally now. Mob attack/Mob action and individual attackers.

Someone published a book 34 years ago. You say the book insulted your god & you passed a death sentence on him. Your god could not avenge the insult for all these 34years & you still carry the 34years old bitterness reach 2022 to the extent of committing murder. SMH.

Same way your God couldn't do anything to save his helpless son from the forced crucifixion
Re: Salman Rushdie, Author Of "The Satanic Verses" Attacked, Condition Unknown by olisaEze(m): 7:58pm On Aug 12, 2022
I own a copy of the book, I have read it twice and I still don’t know what all the fuss is about! So a character in the book went on a bad roofie trip and imagined a couple of things regarding a certain religion, so what?? There’s a book that claims Jesus didn’t die on a cross, but escaped to an island (probably Japan) and lived to a ripe old age after having kids there. No one has offered a bounty to hunt down the author because na u and God get case, not me the reader! I just feel it’s frustration from alcohol abstinence that can make people so hot tempered. The first recorded miracle of Jesus was not turning water to fruit juice, e get why! grin It’s even there in black and white, "alcohol gladdens the heart", nwanne! grin If people will just drink and be merry, loosen up a little, dis world will be a lot friendlier. Can’t be stabbing people on behalf of a God u pray to for protection, especially on a Friday when it’s only green bottles that should not be left standing! grin

The attack is totally condemned but we need to know that in as much the book he published 34years ago is still in existence, it effects will surely still be in existence. BTW why should someone write a book just to disrespect or cause unnecessary unrest in other people's faith? Their are a lot of things we can write or talk about and lately we know how intolerant some people could get over religious matter, why can't we just abide by the simple principle of 'respect other people's religion and beliefs'.

It's not even quite evident the culprit is above 34years and if so he would barely be aware of the immediate religious controversies about it. How he came to harbour murderous intent on the writer after 34yrs speaks volume about his background/religious exposure...Just found the stupid guy is just 24yrs old.

If this man survives, the best thing would be to keep it quiet and just tell them he's dead, then he can go into hiding forever. That's the best way to overturn this stupendous craze to kill this brilliant writer.

Even the Bible says we should maintain peace with all men.

He really messed up by writing a book to blasphem Prophet Muhammad (SAW). As a Muslim myself, that is a serious offense. But it is not my business to punish him for that. That's Prophet Muhammad (SAW) business, not mine. Even if he abuses Allah, that will be Allah's business to sort with him, afterall God should fight for His followers and not the other way round.

That guy that stabbed the Writer will suffer in Earth and in Hell Fire if there is any. I don't have proof of Heaven and He'll Fire except the stories in the Quran and Bible.

Why is it that when you say you want a better Nigeria without mentioning the name of any candidate, everybody will think you are talking about Peter Obi?


Because they all know the only candidate who is truly contesting for "a better Nigeria ", so they automatically know who you are referring to, because they know their own candidate does not qualify to be associated with the word "a better Nigeria ".

This people who attack and maim in the name of religion should be thought a thorough and proper lesson so others like them will learn.

Even till now we haven't heard anything about those who killed Deborah Samuel. This shouldn't be and the case shouldn't be hushed.

I agree with you. Justice take time and the murderers of Deborah will be brought to justice soon. Remember uduaks case took a while as well
