akinsbaba2015:Anybody that told you that is obviously deceiving you. |
obailala:Stop spewing trash, anything is possible with political backroom deals. Don't pretend to be ignorant of such. What a foolish statement from you. |
akinsbaba2015:Your case appears critical dear Zombie, why do you like defending criminals and thieves ? If the name Olisa Metuh was substituted for Garba Sheu , you will be all over the net shouting thieves, but since it is connected with one of your god's children, then it can't be true. It is pathetic that some people sold their conscience for peanut. |
ifyan:If the topic is : "Buhari Drives Bulldozer During Flagging Off Road Construction" We know your comment would have been different. What is wrong in celebrating good things ? |

The imam said he "could not hide his pain" over the execution of Mumtaz Qadri The religious leader at Scotland's biggest mosque has praised an extremist who was executed for committing murder in Pakistan, the BBC can reveal. Imam Maulana Habib Ur Rehman of Glasgow Central Mosque used the messaging platform WhatsApp to show his support for Mumtaz Qadri. Qadri was hanged in February after murdering a local politician who opposed strict blasphemy laws. In messages seen by the BBC, Imam Maulana Habib Ur Rehman says that he is "disturbed" and "upset" at the news of Qadri's execution, before writing "rahmatullahi alai", a religious blessing usually given to devout Muslims and meaning may God's mercy be upon him. In another, he says: "I cannot hide my pain today. A true Muslim was punished for doing which [sic] the collective will of the nation failed to carry out." Religious guidance Maulana Habib Ur Rehman is the most senior imam at Glasgow Central Mosque, a role which involves leading prayers and giving religious guidance and teachings. The BBC has confirmed with members of the group that the messages come from the imam. Qadri was employed as a bodyguard for the governor of Punjab province in Pakistan, Salman Taseer, before turning on him in 2011 and shooting him 28 times. After the shooting Qadri reportedly told journalists that he was "proud" and that he had killed a "blasphemer". Who was Qadri? Mumtaz Qadri said he was proud of what he had done Trained as an elite police commando and assigned as Salman Taseer's bodyguard Shot Salman Taseer 28 times at an Islamabad market in January 2011 and was sentenced to death later that year He claimed it was his religious duty to kill the minister Qadri was lauded by religious conservatives, and in his first court appearance was showered with rose petals by supporters. He never expressed any regret for the killing How Punjab governor's killer became a hero Pakistan has some of the strictest blasphemy laws in the world, which can carry a potential death sentence for those judged to have insulted the majority religion of Islam. Human rights campaigners and liberal politicians, including Taseer, have criticised the laws as draconian and believe that they are abused to target minority groups. The laws do, however, have mainstream support in the country and an estimated crowd of more than 30,000 people attended Qadri's funeral earlier this month. Imam Maulana Habib Ur Rehman told the BBC: "The assassination of Salman Taseer is widely condemned. "Whether I agree or disagree with the views he expressed, as an Imam and as a human being I express abhorrence at the manner in which he was executed. "The execution was not in accordance with Islamic teachings and principles." 'Grotesque' Lawyer Aamer Anwar has called for reform at Glasgow Central Mosque. He told the BBC: "To describe a convicted terrorist as a true Muslim is grotesque. "Let's be clear: Mumtaz Qadri was a terrorist. He was no national hero and he was no martyr. "These views expressed are grotesque and whether done privately or publicly they should be condemned unequivocally. "There's real concern within the community that if this is an imam expressing such views, then what is he expressing to our children." Salman Taseer had angered some people in Pakistan by calling for reform of the country's blasphemy laws In further messages, the Imam refers to Qadri as "brother" and says that, by killing his employer whom he was paid to protect, he was "carrying out the collective responsibility of the ummat," or Muslims as a whole. His execution, he says, "is a collective failure of Pakistani Muslims". Imam Maulana Habib Ur Rehman is challenged by others in the group who question why he is speaking about a convicted murderer in such glowing terms. 'Nazi' comparison The Imam also likens Qadri's actions to those fighting Nazi occupation during World War Two. "Just when France was occupied by Nazies [sic], French did all they had to in order to protect their nation," he writes. "They were national heroes. Hanging Mumtaz Qadri has raised serious questions about Pakistan's independence." To describe a convicted terrorist as a true Muslim is grotesque Aamer Anwar, Lawyer And he links his execution to the issue of Pakistani nationhood. "The issue is not of an individual. The issue is of national identity and Islamic spirit." The WhatsApp messages are the latest controversy at Glasgow Central Mosque, which is the largest place of worship of any religion in Scotland. The mosque was plunged into turmoil last month when seven members of its executive committee resigned amid claims of intimidation by more conservative figures at the mosque. The allegations were denied by those accused. Glasgow Central Mosque There is said to be a long-running contest at the mosque between more traditionalist figures and those, including the seven who resigned, who would like it to be more inclusive of women and non-Pakistani Muslims. In January, The Herald reported that Glasgow Central Mosque had donated money to the orthodox group Tablighi Jamaat, which some argue promotes an extreme brand of Islam. Mr Anwar said: "There needs to be diversity, there needs to be equality and they need to open it up. "We're not living in Pakistan, we're living in Scotland, and we need to see the values and ideas of the people of Scotland [at the mosque]." Glasgow Central Mosque did not respond to requests for comment. source : http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-scotland-glasgow-west-35893123 |
elhafeez:You know what to do , go ahead and kill the rest of his followers as your fellow wahabis are doing in the middle east. |
912:He is a politician! Any politician that follows your advice will lose relevance in a short period of time. |
Jacko1:Pervet! We know your type, but karma is coming. |
jesse515:I agree with you that he can't be said to be innocent or guilty, but you must know that so many crimes are being swept under the carpet in Nigeria. It is even more worrisome that law enforcement agencies usually will not do their job until complains are aired on social media. I see social media as a toll that forces authority to carry out investigation, if nobody talks, no one will act. |
magicfingers009:Explain how being a good teacher precludes one from being a criminal ? |
twoondei:First of all, not all the students protested and secondly "herd mentality" will prevent any snitch from speaking at this particular point. We all know that most organisation will defend an accused just to save face. I believe the last have not been heard of this case. |
amtaken:Accused of abusing underage kids ? |
bigrich911:You can never tell, if there is one thing life experience has taught us, it is that "Never say never" |
professore:Another MR SENI spotted |
jesse515:The story is not yet over, in fact it is unfortunate that other students will be defending the man even though him being investigated is for their own protection. Mind you being an excellent teacher does not preclude him of being guilty. This case reminds me of catholic priests abuse scandals where people know it is happening but would rather keep quiet or even defend the abusers all in a bid to save the church. Until proper investigation is done, the man can't be said to be innocent. |
olapluto:Crimes are not to be rewarded with pity but must be punished with penalties. |
whirlwind7:Nigerians love "miracle" news such as " Woman give birth after 9 years of marriage" If they adopt a child , there is no chance of getting featured in news or testimonies. |
adeyemi2015:I don't care if you are working for your paycheck, but try to tell stealthy not obvious lies. Only a child born yesterday will say Osun was a village. SMH. |
I pity the children of these prostitutes, Imagine giving dry gin to a minor, I guess she might also be giving the child weed and cocaine to sniff. It is unfortunate that our government have failed to protect children's future. |
martyns303:I don't know what you gain from defending pervert, are you also a teacher in the school to know exactly who the man is, because he says he is innocent, he must be innocent. This is the most ridiculous defence I have ever read. |
jesse515:There is no point adding the bold lines, just say it the way you feel it, the man is innocent and the kid must be jailed. SMH |
specimenC:I have not seen anyone defending rapists except you and your likes, someone abduct a minor , sexually abused and refused to release her with the support of his religious leaders and you expect everyone to keep quiet. As I have told others, kidnapping and rape is a crime, if you don't want to be condemned don't engage in crime. I still don't get why someone will be justifying rape by claiming other people commit worse crime. Would you have been happy if the media and everyone kept quiet on ese's case so that she never got released ? |
The Emirs like them young. |
Charly68:Are you a christian or muslim ? |
Justicealh3:Pervert! |
dyn1800:There is nothing to the story, A minor cannot give consent. Any one who have a sexual relationship with a minor will still end up in jail even if he/she claims it is consensual. |
slyng:You don't need to get! your attempt to infer consent is futile since she is a minor, any sexual relationship with a minor is a rape. There is no such thing as consent for minors. |
carinmom:Who told you I am a christian ? You are guilty of what you accuse others of: generalisation. My problem is not the religion of criminals, but some brothers in faith opening thread to justify crimes, blame the victims or even exonerate the criminal. We have not forgotten the shameful #freeYunusa campaign being sponsored by some bigot. When people start condemning criminals rather than justifying their actions with "holy books", swift generalisation will gradually disappear. |
olapluto:Do you believe Yunusa committed a crime ? |
Aufbauh:The difference is that no one will defend this man, if it were to be one of your people, many will start giving excuse as: 1. They do it too in the south 2. There are worse criminals in the south. Why not condemn the criminal act instead of pointing fingers ? Some will even blame the victims family and claim that they both love each other. We all know that criminals are everywhere but it is unfortunate that some people will write a long epistle to exonerate the criminal if he were to be their brothers in faith. |
fatymore:If a muslim does something, no one will attribute it to Islam if some eminent muslims are not rallying around such criminals. Everyone knows that crime has no religion, but when religion adherents starts defending their brothers in faith, then you won't blame those who attack such religion. If everybody start condemning a crime even if is done by people of the same faith, then religion victimisation won't exist. |
