cool



Extra judicial killing is prohibited in Islam and Sharia, only a Sharia court has the authority to pronounce death sentence under Islamic teachings

The babarians of Sokoto that killed their sister over religion are all guilty of murder in Islam and deserved to be hanged to death

Reason why Bible was modified in order to remove all those violent pages from it and more over you yourself confirmed it that it happened in 12th century.. But we are in the 22nd century, should this kind of barbaric act still be occurring all in the name of religion?

Extremism exist in all sectors of life

Extremism occur in Religion as stated above Boko haram, Christian crusaders etc

Extremism in Racism occured during holocaust

Political extremism still exist in SouthEast Nigeria under the guise of Biafran agitation

Occultic extremism exist all over Nigerian universities

So we either tackle extremism as a whole and condemn killers that kill for difference in Ideology or we continue decieving ourselves and hypocritically persecuting over 1 billion Muslim that never killed anyone

I am a Muslim I observed my jumat not quite long, I didn't kill anyone, or terrorise anyine, so anyone who tries to involve me in what Sokoto teenagers did to their fellow student and sister is as guilty as the so called extremist persecuting innocent people

That's one of the problem with you religious people.. Are we talking about political extremism? Occultist extremism?

We are talking about the extremism and fanaticism practiced by some Muslims all in the name of defending their God or Prophet... Can't they leave the judgement to their God or prophet? Why should they be fighting his fight for him if he is that powerful.

Quran needs to be modified.. EOD

Quran is perfect as it is

If you are not religious then that's your business and your choice and definitely non of my business

Killing is killing, extremism is extremism, painting murder based on tribe and religion is a waste of time

The "some Muslim" you qouted committed a crime and must be singled out according to laws in Sokoto, without involving me in Ibadan

It's that simple ..

Why should religion that supposed to preach peace would be preaching killing... I am not generalising the killing cos we have reasonable numbers of Muslims in SW and SS and they have never been involved in that barbaric act, why is Northern Muslims be different?

if Quran is perfect, then those teachings of killings should have been removed or modified

As long as Quran never said go and kill then nothing needs modification
Or perhaps tell us the exact verses you think needs modification?!

The fact that Quran wrote about a battle during the conquest of Saudi territory over a thousand years ago doesn't legitimise killing in 2022 especially when Quran explicitly forbid killing of fellow humans and equat the life of a man to that of generations

The Bible wrote about many war, and many murder committed by different prophets, and that doesn't mean all Jews should start killing people like their prophet


So in my very humble honest opinion, the sooner we stop hypocrisy and start fully enforcing our criminal code, penal code and Sharia laws as applicable to such jungle Justice the better for us all

Perhaps you qoute to us all the exact Quranic verses they followed, afterall Quran is available in English for all to see

The video I saw was of angry youth who said they felt angry thier God was insulted, at no point did I hear them reference a Quranic verses giving them authority to commit murder

I think you are the one trying to accuse people of what they know nothing of,

Yes they killed and must pay for their crime.. are all Muslim their accomplice and guilty of any crime ?! absolutely not!!

Except you have hate for All Muslim then exhibit it, if not direct your justified anger to the teenagers culpable of the crime

All the people murdered for not complying to Biafra directives did we blame all Ibos?!

So exactly is your point, Muslim faithful in Ibadan , my family all over the world worshipping Allah SWT should change their Quran and faith because a semi illitrate in Sokoto committed a crime

No!!! It doesn't work that way, as a matter of fact many would simply not get involved since the agenda is now to label all Muslims

Have I not made reference about Muslims in SS and SW not behaving the way some Northerners are behaving? My question is why should people be killing others just because their prophet was insulted? can't they leave the fight to their prophet to carry his own cross?

The teenagers in Sokoto that acted in such uncivilised babaric manner are in the very best position to answer that..

Exactly why they feel Allah needs them to fight for him
