[WARNING: DISTURBING VIDEO AND IMAGES IN BELOW LINK] Deadly Attack On Shia Muslims Continues In Kaduna From “House To House” [VIDEO] The attacks by combined teams of government security officials and armed takfiri youth on Shia Muslims have continued into the weekend in Kaduna with dozens being murdered across the state and properties being burned. The assailants accompanied by police are going from house to house to seek out and kill Shia Muslims and burn their properties according to reports we are receiving. From Kaduna, an affected minority Muslim Muhammad Ishiaka wailed, “Today is the worst. They are going house by house in Kaduna destroying our personal houses. I can’t say how many people are dead now, because whoever they meet at the house, they are killing. They are going with the police.” While the Shia Muslims and the Islamic movement organisation has said it will not retaliate or resort to violence but remains patient, the persecution and repression continues with government-supported takfiri youth picking and killing people with the semblance of Shi’ism anywhere they are seen.

vedaxcool:When Sunnis are stopped and killed for blocking roads on Fridays, then I will take your words seriously. Anything less, what you are promoting is simply bullying and persecution of a minority because you believe power is in your hands. This discussion is not about me and whether I'm a ten headed monster who supports killing people. Your stupidity has no end in sight. |

In that case, how many would survive in northern Nigeria? Is that what your religion taught you? And those who don't have police permit should be killed in extra judicial manner? You still haven't mentioned the CRIME your fellow Muslims committed to deserve death. |

vedaxcool:You're an educated fool. The problem is your intolerance. You don't want to see them. You don't want their procession or public display of their faith. So you use the law as excuse when in fact your intolerance is anti law. There are pastors who perpetually fool and lie to their congregations. Same with Sunni clerics. So? 1 Like |

vedaxcool:If el rufai was the governor of London, you will still find excuses to castigate the Shia for their procession after you attack them and kill them. The difference isn't in the type of Shias. You want to prevent them from embarking on procession in their own country and call that "law of the land" because you're majority in Nigeria. You forget these Shias are your people. They are northerners and even once Sunnis or from Sunni families who converted to Shia Islam. The difference is that London is not controlled by Sunnis and particularly extremist Wahhabi Sunnis who have pledged their souls to the Saudi Wahhabis. The mayor of London, Sadiq Khan is Shia Muslim of Pakistani origin. Notwithstanding, the Shia have long (before him) carried out their processions in London and other western cities freely and peacefully. You people have problem. 2 Likes 1 Share |

vedaxcool:So your mentality is that might is right. You expect to deny them their constitutional rights and freedoms and expect them to shut up and sit down. Did you even condemn killing them? When Boko haram kill Christians, you say it is not Islam. But here you are killing your fellow Muslims and justifying it. Will anyone believe you that Boko doesn't represent your Sunni Islam? In Iraq, that's how the Shia were constantly bombed, harassed and killed by th minority Sunnis. When the Shia vexed and formed their militias, Sunnis started giving excuse that they are marginalized minority and the Shia led government is discriminating against them. Sunnis used Maliki, the former PM of Iraq who's Shia, as scapegoat and accusdd him of being the one who's marginalizing them. When you keep beating people, there's no pride in that. You are only creating recipe for trouble. That is the trouble most people don't want. People are not saying the truth because they love the Shia. It is because they are mature enough to see beyond sectarian prejudices.do your own and let them do theirs. You block roads during Friday prayers, every week. The Shia only block roads a couple of time or three times in the entire year. The same permit and right you have to close roads and park your cars in the middle of main roads, and spread your mats on the streets every Friday, allow the Shia to do their procession in peace. Live and let's live. Live in peace amongst yourselves. How many Christian denominations are there? What if Shia were like Jehovah's witnesses who knock your doors to preach? Will you kill them for "illegal preaching"? Yet Christians tolerate but you don't. 4 Likes 2 Shares |

Central London’s busiest streets brought to a standstill in the name of Hussain ibn Ali (video in the below link) Afrah Mansour 1 day ago 0 6375 https://themuslimvibe.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/Untitled-design-1-1024x578.jpg Traffic on one of London’s busiest roads was brought to a standstill yesterday as thousands of Muslims commemorated the martyrdom of the Prophet’s grandson, Hussain ibn Ali. The occasion, known as Ashura, is of huge importance to people of the Islamic faith and is commemmorated worldwide by millions of Muslims across the world, and huge crowds gathered, carrying flags and placards against terrorism. https://themuslimvibe.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/313-174x300.png Placards against terrorism, injustice and racism being used by the mourners. The purpose of the procession was to promote awareness to the stand of Hussain, and how his message was one that echoes to this day. Volunteers were giving out food, water, chocolates and information packs, encouraging bystanders to ask more and join them in their peaceful procession. The procession featured a short speech by Reverend Nadim Nassar, director and co-founder of the Awareness Foundation; he spoke of on the essence of peace and how to utilise the time to promote tolerance and acceptance of all faiths. He spoke of how Hussain was limited to no sect or faith, but rather that his message is a universal one that should be implemented in all societies across the world. https://themuslimvibe.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/this-641x1024.png Reverend Nadim Nassar opening the procession with a speech at Marble Arch. During the procession, the roads were closed at Marble Arch, and then continued towards London’s popular shopping destination, Oxford Street. Disrupting such a busy street was met with mainly positive responses, although some commuters were upset at cancellations and delays of some bus services in the area. Furthermore, a good many shops in the area were closed on this day, out of respect for the occasion. The event was so large that the social media app Snapchat gave it its own platform in the form of a live story, which can still be viewed for up to 24 hours after the event. As always, we can depend on Twitter to react best to such an event; here are some of our favourites. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CukqjgAWAAAn_8x.jpg https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CukqpHmXgAEriA-.jpg https://themuslimvibe.com/muslim-current-affairs-news/central-londons-busiest-streets-brought-to-a-standstill-in-the-name-of-hussain-ibn-ali |
| Politics › About 15 Nigerians Killed In Sectarian Violence, People Ask: Why Is Baba Silent? by Onyocha(op): 10:02am On Oct 14, 2016 |
Could you remember the day when a Christian was attacked for eating food during Ramadan in Kaduna and both Buhari and El-Rufai condemned the attack as barbaric and an apparent violation of his right for religious freedom? Could you remember the day when an Igbo Christian was beheaded by a mob for an alleged blasphemy and both Buhari and Governor Ganduje condemned the murder vowed to fish out the culprits? Could you recall the moment when Wahhabi herlings set a house alight and burnt ten people of the same family to cinder for the same alleged blasphemy in Zamfara and both Buhari and the governor Abdulaziz Yari promised a condign punishment for the killers? Could you recall the day when Buhari condemned a gun attack on a gays friendly nightclub in Orlando, US which claimed 50 lives? But here in here in Nigeria, more than a thousand Shias were mercilessly massacred by his own army, and he was on even ashamed to justify the massacre. The ongoing killings of Shias are being carried out with the connivance of the security forces who are all answerable to him and up to this moment the man has no time to talk about the killings. We do not need be told that Buhari is behind all this. For sure. Source: https://www.facebook.com/aliyu.b.bauchi/posts/1086256954826053 |

GROOOVE:stop spreading your ignorance. Shia condemn self-flagellation by a minority of their brothers when they commemorate the martyrdom of Hussein, the grandson of Muhammad on Ashura. it is like condemning all Sunnis and tagging them "non-muslims" for the beheadings carried out by boko haram. is that Islam? at least those Shia are cutting their own bodies and not blowing up people of other faiths. Nigerian Shia Muslims do not do self-flagellation. most of the Shia ayatollahs condemn and FORBID self-flagellation. you should google: "Shia scholars view on self-flagellation". if self-flagellation by less than 1% of Shiites makes ALL SHIA people "not Muslims", then by the same token, all the terrorism committed by Sunni groups should be used to declare ALL SUNNIS as "not Muslims" what is good for the goose is also good for the gander. even Christians (Catholics) in Philippines and Mexico carry out actual crucifixions on Easter to reenact the crucifixion and sufferings of Jesus. 1 Like |

Several images captured the terrorists on the back of police vans being ferried to locations of assault. The Islamic movement of Nigeria was banned by several states in the nation’s intolerant north however Shia Islam was not declared banned nor the right to freely assemble. However from the government-led assault on the Shia Muslims which saw dozens killed by police, army and a combined team of suported civilians, it was apparent that Shia Islam was the primary target and being banned in Nigeria’s north.

Boko Haram has stated its determination to kill Shia Muslims. Whether the release of Chibok girls and coincidental government orchestrated attack on Shia Islam are related is reviewed here. PRESS STATEMENT by Islamic Movement Government responsible for acts of arson, butchery, murder and unwarranted arrests of IMN members yesterday The governments of Kaduna, Katsina, Kano, Plateau and Sokoto states, using an amalgamation of security agents and operatives turned Wednesday 12-10-16 from what could have been a peaceful day for commemorating the martyrdom anniversary of the benevolent grandson of the Prophet, into another mourning day. These security operatives unleashed on members of the Islamic Movement in Nigeria (IMN) the worst forms of state-sponsored terror tactics ever known, through a well-designed plot involving arson, butchery, murder and unwarranted arrests of IMN members in their states. The pattern was uniform in all these places and it was not isolated coincidence. For most part, the Annual Ashura procession that we have conducted peacefully over the years had concluded without an incidence. Suddenly, a combined team of well-armed police, military, civil defence and other security operatives camouflaged as thugs (they are though) laid ambush on IMN members. Using all weapons at their disposal, they maimed, killed and arrested many in Funtua, Sokoto, Kaduna and Jos in particular. This savagery was followed by arson, particularly in Kaduna and Jos, where Islamic centres, schools and private residences were torched. As at the last count, not less than 20 members were murdered, over a hundred injured and over 300 arrested across these towns. Everything about this latest brutality suggests that it was planned centrally but carried out locally. The pattern of attacks was the same. The tactics were the same. Even those so-called arrested had the same terms of bail, which they had made near impossible to meet. The silence of both the governments at state and federal levels at the degree of brutality is telling. It was in Katsina state that the police command came up with an ingenious explanation by announcing to the world that it murdered our members in cold blood because they came to attack a police station. Obviously, the Police Commissioner was not briefed that the killings by his men took place nowhere close to any police station. Luckily the people of Funtua, who witnessed this crime against humanity, will not swallow this blatant lie hook, line and sinker. No one is left in doubt that we are being attacked by the government, without recourse to even the laws they claim to protect. https://newsrescue.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/shot-funtua.jpg Some of the ladies, others shot at Funtua The police in Funtua concocted another video clip purporting to show local arms found with the IMN members they killed, which they now plan to air it on all NTA stations like they did in the aftermath of Zaria massacre. The fact that we are again victims of their brutality is enough to prove that the so called ‘recovered arms’ with our dead member were planted on them. We hereby demand for the immediate release of all those arrested yesterday. They are prisoners of conscience, persecuted by the state for their beliefs. All they did yesterday was to exercise their religious duties peacefully. IMN wishes to reiterate as it has done several times that despite all intimidation by the government, we will not succumb to their plot of plunging the country into needless bloodshed in the disguise of religious differences. We will keep on pursuing the legal and peaceful means we have been adopting since the Zaria massacre in December 2015. We will not be distracted in abandoning our quest for justice to be done in the premeditated attack carried out by the Military against the Islamic Movement in Nigeria. We therefore once again call for the immediate release of our revered Leader Shaikh Ibraheem Zakzaky from the illegal detention has been thrown into for the past ten months, including all those incarcerated with him.

El-Rufai condemns attack on Shiites, orders arrest of perpetrators October 13, 2016Mohammed Lere Kaduna state governor, Nasir El-Rufai, has condemned recent attacks by residents of Tudun Wada, Kaduna, on Shiite members leading to the death of four people. The governor also warned against mob actions on any individual or group under the any guise throughout the state. Four members of the Shi’a sect were killed in the Tudun Wada area of Kaduna South Local Government Area when some irate youth attacked the sect, and torched the residence of its leader. The mob also demolished the Shi’ite’s Islamic school in the area. Kaduna State government outlawed the activities of Shiite group in the state and ordered the arrest of its spokesperson, Ibrahim Musa. In a statement signed by Samuel Aruwan, the governor’s spokesperson, Mr. El-Rufai said that security agencies had been directed to vigorously uphold law and order in the state, including investigating and effecting arrests of participants in mob actions which are clearly lawless and cannot be allowed to provide cover for individuals resorting to illegal self-help. “The Government condemns in strong terms this unfortunate situation and commiserates with the affected citizens and their families, and others that lost their properties and valuables. “The Government therefore wishes to categorically warn citizens against mob action. No one will be allowed to conduct themselves in an arbitrary manner. Impunity has no place in this state. “There are designated agencies vested with the duty of law enforcement, and citizens cannot usurp their roles; rather it is the duty of all citizens to report infractions of the law and help to prevent or detect crime. There can be no recourse to self-help. “Only constituted authority and security agencies have the statutory right and the constitutional mandate to enforce compliance to the law. Every resident of Kaduna State has the right to the constitutional freedoms outlined in Sections 38 and 40.” http://www.premiumtimesng.com/regional/nwest/212699-el-rufai-condemns-attack-shiites-orders-arrest-perpetrators.html#.V__cmz_NLY8.facebook |

Jeremyliness job on nairaland is to spread propaganda and sectarian hatred against the IMN and the Shia Muslims. Same with the CESJET. Is that a legal society? Is freedom of association not a constitutional and human right? Is el Rufai's ban constitutional? If the IMN is banned in kaduna, why were they killed in katsina, sokoto and Jos? Is it also banned in those states? Ashura is a religious ceremony for ALL Shia Muslims. How are you sure those who took part in the processions are all Shia Muslims who belong to the IMN? Or are you saying all Shia Muslims in Nigeria are IMN members or Zakzaky followers? What of Yoruba and Kogi Shia who do not belong to Zakzaky's IMN? What of foreigners like Indians, Lebanese, Pakistanis, Iranians and Iraqis who can be Shia Muslims? Are they IMN members? Are they outlaws for being Shia? Do they have freedom of worship? Shia Islam like a poster above rightly pointed is a RELIGION and not a sect or a group only found in Nigeria. It's found worldwide, just as Sunnis and Catholics are found worldwide. Izala is a Sunni group. Redeem is a Pentecostal group; Caritas is a catholic group; same way IMN is a Shia group. Evidently, whenever the IMN is mentioned, they are referred to blankly or blanketed as "shia" or "Shiites" by people who don't know the difference between sect, religion and an organization or group. The ban on the IMN is just opposition and intolerance to shia beliefs as a whole by the majority Sunnis. Road block is just excuse. Sunnis block roads all the time on Fridays and Christians on Sunday's. If another shia group gains prominence in Nigeria and followers like the IMN, it too would be viewed with suspicion and as threat. So you should keep your CESJET propaganda to yourself. It seems you have no better job than to spread propaganda against a religion found worldwide and against a group with millions of followers. If you know the Shia very well, you'd use Iraq as example. They will not abandon their faith with threat of violence or terrorism. You inflict upon them violence and then blame them for disobeying law. They ask you for police license, you refuse and then blame them for illegal procession. That's unfair. In Iraq, Sunni terror groups have been bombing Shia processions and ceremonies especially on Ashura and Arba'een. During Arba'een twenty million Shia trek to Karbala. Has that stopped Shia from continuing to trek and hold processions? Shia view processions as religious obligation. Killing them and using force and made up unconstitutional law will not stop people from believing what they believe. You can only sit them down and get them to be orderly and organize them to curtail their excesses while you accommodate their religious differences. Such attacks, force and show of power will only alienate them further and shed more innocent blood. And don't forget, they are Nigerians; not aliens from outer space. 2 Likes |

Ashura marks the day Noah got off the ark, it also marks the day God opened the sea for Moses to save him and his followers from Pharaoh and the day Hussein was martyred at Karbala. https://newsrescue.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/Abraham-Shia-of-Noah.png The word ‘shia’ simply means ‘follower,’ and occurs in Muslim Quran There are an estimated 7-10 million Shia Muslims in Nigeria. This large minority is notably peaceful as compared, any other ethnic or religious group by now will have resorted to violence in the midst of continued persecution and brazen denial of justice. https://newsrescue.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/shia-millions.jpg Shia Muslim crowds in Nigeria While divisions are explicitly banned in Islam, the Middle East and heart of Islam is roughly divided into an equal number of Shia and Sunni Muslims.

The Quranic verses: Quran 8:46 And obey Allah and His Messenger, and do not dispute and [thus] lose courage and [then] your strength would depart; and be patient. Indeed, Allah is with the patient. Quran 8:73 The Unbelievers are protectors, one of another: Unless ye do this, (protect each other), there would be tumult and oppression on earth, and great mischief.

BetaThings:Oga, you are lying. Stop your scaremongering! In Lebanon, the hezbollah you're using to scare us with are ALLIED to the largest Christian bloc in the Lebanese parliament, the Free Patriotic Movement which is led by Michel Aoun, a retired Christian army chief who is contesting for president with support of hezbollah and opposed by the largest Sunni party of Hariri. In fact, Christians in Lebanon lend support from the Shia Lebanese to ward off the threat of Sunni domination. And still, while you scare us of the Shia, you forget to tell us what Sunnis have done in those countries. Should that be used to ban Sunni groups, like NASFAT, Izala etc. in Nigeria? Is collective punishment part of your religion? Which God do you worship? So the right to freedom of religion is selective! 1 Like |

It has been the tradition of Muslims from time immemorial that Mecca is a holy land where stealing, killing and crimes shouldn't take place. This isn't something new. If a pilgrim cannot be honest enough and sincere with his God to return what doesn't belong to him in a land he believes is holy, then was he there to worship or steal? The point is not every story should be politicized and used for propaganda. Keeping Mecca sacred is a Muslim duty and certainly did not start today. 3 Likes |

[b]FFK telling anyone to shut up is not the problem. The problem as an outspoken activist, I do not expect him to support apartheid Israel and its occupation and extermination of an entire population by Israel under the false pretext that God is a thief who asked his so called chosen people to exterminate others and drive them out of their land. I wonder if Jesus will ever support Jews to be racist and eliminate other nations. The land of Palestine has always existed with a mixture of tribes and nations before the patriarch Abraham whom Jews consider their ancestor was born. Palestinians themselves, who happen to be descendants of a myriad of nationalities, including the Israelite and Jewish nationalities belong to Palestine even though they may be Muslim and Arabic speaking and no longer Hebrew speaking thanks to Arabian conquest. FFK should research on the "Palestinian people" and their ethnic origins. 25% of them are Christians and descendants of the Samaritans and the disciples of Jesus and they are today Arabic speaking. FFK has a lot to learn from Mandela who said that the freedom of South Africa is never complete without the freedom of the Palestinians. [/b] 5 Likes 1 Share |

Luckymay:you are mistaking Iran for Iraq. Iran is very peaceful. when last did you hear of an explosion in Iran. You call Iran an Arab country. it is majority Persian with many non-Arabic ethnicity. the Arabic speaking community are a small minority in Iran. you link Iran to boko. boko is Salafist Sunni. Iran is Shia. the two dont see eye to eye. |

Suprnov3r:you are just speaking out of your stomach. Iran does not have a unifying language. there are Kurds, Arabs, Balouch,Azeris, etc. majority or about half of Iranians are Persians. but like Nigeria, Iran has many ethnic groups and languages. the only unifying force is religion. over 90% are unified by Shia Islam. the Supreme Leader is not Persian; he is from the minority Azeri ethnic group. yet, in Iran, you find more major religions than in Nigeria. there are Zoroastrians, Jews, Christians, Sunni Muslims etc. so Iran, like Nigeria, and India, is very diverse. the truth of the matter is the western world intend to keep other countries as CONSUMER nations and always working hard only to feed; i.e. slaving to feed. they do not want other countries to reach their level. Iran is a developing/emerging third world country. and Iran has been punished for its quest to break free from western tutelage, sanctions, and dictates. Iran still found its way out. they stood on their feet and relied on themselves to build their economy away from oil. the west think without oil Iran would not survive. that goes to show the impression the White man has about African, Asian and Middle East countries. |
