An Imam has reportedly saved the lives of 262 people mostly Christians, when killer herdsmen invaded the village of Nghar Yelwa in Plateau State and killed dozens of people.
The attack was one of such numerous attacks that took place in other Plateau villages between Saturday, June 23 and Sunday, June 24.
Muslim Fulani herdsmen were reported to have killed at least 100 people in several communities, leading to subsequent retaliation by locals who reportedly targeted Muslims in some communities.
According to a report by BBC Pidgin, the unnamed Muslim cleric opened his door to locals who were running from the attackers in Nghar Yelwa on Sunday. The people had been running from neighbouring villages in Barkin Ladi local government area.
Many of those the Imam provided shelter for are said to be indigenous Berom people, mostly Christians, who were believed to be the primary targets of the devastating attacks.
In his words :
“I took the women to my personal house first to hide them before I hid the men inside the mosque,”.
When the attackers came around to ask the Imam to surrender Christians under his protection, he lied that they were all Muslims and begged them to go. His relentless persuasion eventually resulted in the attackers leaving the area without hurting anyone else.
The survivors now live in the mosque as their village has been destroyed by the attacks which left many without anything left. 79 people have been buried in the fields of Nghar after the attack.

... if only all Christians are not like you

Matters arising and the offense of the imam
1) The Imam has committed Haram for helping Christians.
2). He has desecrated the mosque by hiding infidels in it.
3). By his action, he has exposed the killers as Muslims

Well done to the Baba who really understands Islam as a Religion of Peace. Islam teaches us to show Love and Mercy to other people, whether they are Muslims or Unbelievers. The people perpetrating evils are the ones that are tarnishing the image of Islam. They kill people and cause havoc everywhere in the name of fighting for Islam(Jihad). They don't know that Jihad is about striving for the cause of Almighty God, defending and upholding Islam. They know not that Jihad doesn't operate that way. You don't kill unjustly in Islam. God said in the Qur'an "Whoever kills anyone unjustly, it is as if he has killed the whole of mankind". Some are even non-muslims and they cause problems in the society in the name of Islam so that people won't get their full identity.
It was said in one hadith of Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W): You cannot call yourself a Believer until you wish for yourself, what you wish for others". During his lifetime, he even judged justly between a Muslim and a non-muslim. The more we say and show all these to the ignorant ones everywhere, the more they disagree. They will always disagree because hypocrisy is in their blood despite that they've been shown the truth about it. What pains me most is the fact that they try to discourage people who are ready to embrace Islam and follow the right, true Path. They won't want these people to be free from the bondage of lies and errors in other religion and in their book.
My advice to the Muslims nationwide is this. We should not stop showing love to our neighbours and others as we are being taught in Islam(The True Religion). Following the teachings in Islam is enough for us to be successful here and in the hereafter... Salaam Alaekum!

I’m grateful to the imam for his kind action, however my submissions reflects the thoughts in the hearts of those lazy Muslims youth who don’t the read the Quran but rely on hadiths written by some bigots

This is one of the hypocrites.

Sarcasm at play bro!!

All Muslims! You are a bigot and you know that. No religious text condones the killing of innocent people and there are laws governing such actions in every country. Both parties are guilty and the government needs to calm the tension by building all culprits to book.
