Friday, August 5, 2011 We oppose Islamisation, not Islamic banking - PFN Kunle Falayi The Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria has said its objection to the proposed non-interest banking system is not really against the system but Islamisation. The PFN, in a statement on Thursday by its National Secretary, Pastor Wale Adefarasin, advised that a debate on the issue should be encouraged. "Avoiding the discussion of the real issues this subject raises, by accusing Nigeria's Christian leaders of Islamaphobia, reduces the debate to a question of religion, which is regrettable and a diversion," it said. The group explained that Nigeria's founding fathers recognised the need to keep the country from disintegrating due to its religious plurality and therefore enshrined secularity in the nation's constitution. "The objections being voiced were the Islamisation of non-interest banking as a concept and driving of the very specific 'Islamic banking' by the Central Bank of Nigeria, which by our constitution is a secular body," it said. The PFN also advised the Central Bank of Nigeria to issue guidelines for "Profit and Loss Sharing Banking or non- interest banking" and allow religious groups to regulate the faith-based aspects of their banking services. |
