You just typed nonsense

Hope you remember that one of your Catholic nun in Serbia or UK just disgrace Christianity. She took out a knife, injured herself and call police to tell them the Muslims atta ked her

So shouting allahu Akbar to commit evil does not mean you must be a Muslim. Some useless pastors too were captured by Nigerian forces yet they shouted allahu Akbar before kidnapping one of them

But bandits and terrorist are not waging war against Allah and its messengers now..

They're killing citizens.... innocent people 😕
Nice observation.

Then allow the North implement Shari'a and see if this won't be carried out fully.

Today is Yawmul Jumu'ah (Friday), 21st of Jumada Athani 1447 Hijriyyah — corresponding to 12th December 2025.

What is Insurgency?
Insurgency refers to an organized, armed rebellion against established authority, often involving violence, terror, and disruption of public order. It is a global challenge, affecting many countries, including developed nations where illegal arms trade and gun-running are prevalent.

Types of Insurgencies in Nigeria
Nigeria faces a complex security crisis with various forms of insurgency and violent crime, including:

1. Armed Robbers – Individuals or groups attacking people, homes, and businesses with weapons.
2. Kidnappers – Abducting people for ransom or political leverage.
3. Fulani Herdsmen vs Farmers/Citizens – Communal clashes over land and resources, sometimes escalating into violence.
4. Bandits – Armed gangs attacking villages, highways, and markets for loot and ransom.
5. Thieves – Both petty thieves and corrupt officials stealing public resources.
6. Ethnic Insurgencies / Settlers vs Indigenes – Conflicts rooted in ethnicity, land disputes, and political marginalization.
7. Unknown Gunmen – Masked or unidentified armed groups targeting civilians and security forces.
8. Terrorists – Groups like Boko Haram, ISWAP, IPOB, using ideological violence and terror tactics.

The Islamic Legal Framework Against Insurgency and Terrorism
The Qur’an explicitly addresses the punishment for those who wage war against Allah and His Messenger and spread corruption on earth:

"Indeed, the penalty for those who wage war against Allah and His Messenger and strive upon earth [to cause] corruption is none but that they be killed or crucified or that their hands and feet be cut off from opposite sides or that they be exiled from the land. That is for them a disgrace in this world; and for them in the Hereafter is a great punishment."(Qur'an 5:33)

This verse forms the foundation of Islamic criminal law regarding terrorism, banditry, and armed rebellion, known as ḥirābah — waging war against society.

The Historical Incident Behind Qur’an 5:33
Al-Bukhari and Muslim narrate a significant event involving a group from the tribe of ‘Ukl (or in some narrations, ‘Uraynah). These eight men came to the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, embraced Islam, and pledged allegiance. However, the climate of Madinah did not suit them, and they fell ill.

The Prophet ﷺ advised them to go with his shepherd to drink the milk and urine of his camels — a traditional remedy at the time. After recovering, instead of gratitude, they betrayed the trust: they killed the shepherd, gouged out his eyes, and stole all the camels.

When the Prophet ﷺ learned of this treachery, he sent men to capture them. Upon capture, the Prophet ﷺ ordered their hands and feet to be cut off on opposite sides, their eyes branded with heated iron, and they were left in the sun until they died. Some narrations mention they were denied water during this punishment.

This incident is directly linked to the revelation of Qur’an 5:33, establishing the severe punishments for those who commit such heinous crimes.

Scholarly Interpretations and Punishments
The great companions and scholars, including Ibn Abbas, Sa‘id ibn al-Musayyib, Mujahid, ‘Ata’, al-Hasan al-Basri, Ibrahim al-Nakha‘i, and Ad-Dahhak, have explained this verse as giving the Muslim ruler discretion to choose the appropriate punishment based on the crime’s severity.

The punishments include:
-Killing or crucifixion: For those who kill and spread terror. Crucifixion here is understood as displaying the body after execution as a deterrent, not prolonged torture.
-Cutting off hands and feet from opposite sides: For those who commit armed robbery and theft without murder.
-Exile or banishment: For those who cause corruption but whose crimes do not reach the above severity.

The word aw (or) in the verse indicates a choice, allowing the ruler (or Judge) to apply the punishment fitting the crime.

Why Such Severe Punishments?
To many, these punishments may seem harsh, but their purpose is clear:

-To protect innocent lives from murderers and terrorists.
-To safeguard people’s wealth and property from robbers and bandits.
-To preserve public order, dignity, and freedom of movement.
-To send a strong message that terrorizing civilians and spreading corruption is utterly unacceptable.

Islamic law emphasizes justice balanced with mercy and due process. These punishments are applied only after thorough investigation, evidence, and fair trial by legitimate authorities — never by individuals or mobs.

Final Reflections
Terrorism, banditry, and insurgency devastate families, communities, and nations. Islam recognizes the gravity of these crimes and responds with a legal framework that is:

-Clear: Defining ḥirābah and its penalties in the Qur’an and Sunnah.
-Serious: Imposing the harshest punishments on the most destructive criminals.
-Balanced: Allowing judicial discretion and caution in doubtful cases.
-Merciful: Leaving the door open for sincere repentance before capture.

May Allah protect Nigeria and all lands from terror and injustice. May He guide oppressors to repentance or restrain them from harming others. And may He make us all people of justice, wisdom, and mercy.

This what our so called hypocrite Islamic leaders and leadership have woefully failed to base their suggestions, collaborations and advice for government to based on.
Their failure out of political, tribal and economic benefits blocked their senses from understanding and proposing the exegesis of the verse thereby giving Tom, Dick and Harry opportunity of running their mouths against Islam like diarrhead anus.

Stop deceiving yourself with this taquia
Allow the OP to be deceiving himself in plain sight. The Quranic verse he is quoting clearly states that such is punishment for those striving against Allah and his messenger AND not against the society or constituted authority and yet the OP is blatantly misapplying it.

The truth is that those quasi-jihadist bandits and religious terrorists shouting "Allahu akbar" while kidnapping people are difficult to restrain Islamically. There is abrogated in Islam and all earlier else's that appear peaceful and accommodating were revealed when Islam was still fragile and the Prophet needed alliances. They were subsequently repealed or abrogated by much more intolerant verses advocating fighting and killing the infidels later when Islam gained prominence and newer revelations emerged.

Gumi is an Islamic Shiekh and yet do you see him condemn terrorism and banditry? No. When Trump rattled his Sabre to come and eradicate terrorists and bandits in the country,what have the Muslim and Islamic leaders and Scholars been saying?

It's not even up to half. The Shariah is the most superior law of an Islamic state. So, just keep it low!

"Indeed, the penalty for those who wage war against Allah and His Messenger ...'' Note the bolded. The terrorists operating in Nigeria and other Africa countries are not waging war against Allah and His Messenger but against governments operating secular democratic constitutions. That explain the silence of those who are supposed to declare fatwa on the known leaders of these terrorists and bandits organisations. Because they are not warring against Allah and His Messenger. Think about this and see the deception in this supposed epistle to sale the faith.

There's nothing like terrorizing God, is there?

That verse only talks about Allah's safety. Not the safety of men. It's not possible to take up swords against God in the first place. So, if Allah was God, what's Allah afraid of. How does that give you peace?

I asked you questions. The best you could do is to call me a fool.

I mean mad people also see things others don't see. Is it because others have no eyes?

Again, what's Allah afraid of by giving instructions about those who war against him? I can't imagine God talking like that. And, then, you saw that as a revelation of peace. Shake my head! Which human being doesn't know that earring against God is useless? Allah didn't say anything new that humans don't already know.

Let me tell you this:

"To be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded isi life and peace."

What I just said up there is the Bible. That's a deep revelation about the source of peace. That's not something any human being knows. You have to read that again and again for it to sink. The Bible is full of deep wisdom and secrets hard to come by among men. Not like the Quran that says things everybody knows and uses the scientific knowledge of the days of Mohammed as revelation. Those sciences are now in the mud.

Who is here to compare your Bible to the Qur'an and sunnah? I already said it earlier. A fool only needs to keep speaking and the stench of his folly will be felt by all.

It's like you are among the ones Paul was referring to in Galatians 3:1.

Anyways, tell us how Jesus will deter the cases of banditry and terrorism in Nigeria. Show your Bible verses? If a bandit/terrorist is caught today how will they be judged?
