We hold government responsible for the killing of Muhammad Ali- Malam Turi

By Ibrahim Usman-

Muhammad Mahmoud Turi, accussed government as responsible for the recent killing of a member of the Islamic Movement in Nigeria

and the spate of killings across the land.
Turi made the accusation at a press conferece following killing brother Muhammad Ali by unknown gunmen in his Kano residence.

He argued that, “It is obvious that government is an accomplice to the cold blood murder of our brother. This is because security of people’s lives and property is the responsibility of government, and when it cannot discharge this responsibility by way of protection or arresting the culprits, the government is of no use to the citizens”.
He wondered how unknown gunmen could break into people’s houses, kill them and walk away freely, while the government boasts of adequate security and spending huge amount of money on it. He pointed out that, citizens, irrespective of poitical or social staus, have equal right to protection of life and property.
Turi further disclosed that, before the tragic event, members of the Islamic Movement in Nigeria under Sheikh Zakzaky had over the years been receiving threats to their lives as group and individuals from various quarters. According to him, two years ago a leaked security report had indicated a plan to launch onsalught on individual members of the Movement in their houses or while on transit, in the guise of armed robbery incident.


He said, part of the plan by government to crush the Islamic Movement, according to the security report, was to plan explosive devices during the Movement’s gatherings and make it look like terrorist activity. “So what happened to our brother we anticipated in the last two years”, he said.

Police Kill 3 Members of the Islamic Movement and Colleague in Potiskum
Monday, 28 May 2012 13:53

By Ubrahim Usman.

Heavily armed police men yesterday invaded Markaz, resident of Malam Mustapha Lawan, a disciple of Sheikh Zakzaky in Potiskum, Yobe State.

The assailants, opened fire on members of the Islamic Movement just after Maghrib prayers and killed 3 brothers and one of their own. One of the worshippers in a show of bravery captured one of the gunmen, but was shot together with the gunman he captured.

The disguised mobile police took away the corpse of their colleague and took to their heels. It was apparent that, the target of the attack was Malam Mustapha Lawan, who had been critical of the police and soldiers for the daily killing of innocent people in the state and across the country.

Bullets and cartridges, bearing police inscription, and cellular phone that fell off the hands of the assailants were recovered when they took to their heels.

Responding to the attack and discovery of police bullets and cartridges at the scene of the attack, on BBC Hausa Service, police commissioner in the state Moses said he was aware of security operation night of the attack but the Police had killed not anyone.

Malam Mustapha Lawan in also in a BBC interview confirmed the incident was the handiwork of Nigerian security intent to crush the influence of Islamic Movement in Nigeria. He said, he was the primary target of the gunmen, but Allah saved him. Malam Mustapha Lawan also confirmed the possession of exhibits bearing police colours and inscriptions, which they left behind while trying to run away in fear.

[size=18pt]US declares 'total war' on Islam[/size]

In an organized act of brutality, a number of US soldiers went on a house-to-house shooting spree in Zangabad village, Kandahar in March and massacred 16 people including nine children while they were sleeping and all Washington had to say were a few words of condolence and apology nonchalantly strung together in order to appease the overwhelming public rage in Afghanistan. Western media however reduced the number of the killers to one.


The bodies were reportedly wrapped in blankets and were set on fire.

US President Barack Obama said he was deeply saddened, "I offer my condolences to the families and loved ones of those who lost their lives, and to the people of Afghanistan, who have endured too much violence and suffering. This incident … does not represent the exceptional character of our military and the respect that the United States has for the people of Afghanistan."

As contradictory as these words seem, the very 'exceptional character' of the US military had earlier urged them to burn copies of the Holy Quran, an incident which saddened the hearts of Muslims all across the world.

These and earlier incidents are not coincidental and well attest to a prevailing mindset in the US military and a dominant policy in Washington. It is clear that the US government has commenced a large-scale campaign against Islam with the express intention of debilitating the Muslim community.

In fact, the war on Islam started in 2001 when the then US president George Bush made a crass reference to his so-called war on terror as ‘crusade’. He warned Americans that "this crusade, this war on terrorism, is going to take awhile." Bush’s politically untoward remark rang alarm bells in Europe and the Muslim world although it went barely noticed in the American community who took the word for its sound rather than for its meaning.

Gradually, Washington instilled a sensation of anti-Islamism in America and Europe by attributing the nine-eleven tragedy and ensuing terrorist operations to the Muslims. Soheib Bensheikh, Grand Mufti of the mosque in Marseille, France said Bush’s use of the word ‘crusade’ was most unfortunate and that “It recalled the barbarous and unjust military operations against the Muslim world" by Christian knights.

A delusional man who was overwhelmed with the idea of a messianic mission, George Bush wittingly or unwittingly dragged the world to the margins where a clash of civilizations was imminent.

The legacy of hatred which was started by George Bush was later continued in the form of classes and organized trainings.

In line with this Islamophobic policy funded by Washington and the powerful Zionist groups in the country, the US military has long been involved in fomenting anger and hatred against the Muslims by teaching its future leaders that a “total war” against the Muslims would be necessary to protect America.
According to hundreds of pages of course material and reference documents obtained by Danger Room (wired.com), the US military held a course at the Defense Department’s Joint Forces Staff College and taught the students that they had to use a Hiroshima-style in Muslim counties and target the “civilian population wherever necessary.”

The officer in charge of the hate lessons was Army Lt. Col. Matthew A. Dooley who still maintains his position at the Norfolk, Virginia College. Sadly, those who sat in his classes are now in the top positions in the US military.

The course ‘Perspectives on Islam and Islamic Radicalism’ was offered five times a year for groups of 20 at a time, the course may have been taught to as many as 800 mid-level and senior US military officers.

In a July presentation, Dooly said, “We have now come to understand that there is no such thing as ‘moderate Islam. It is therefore time for the United States to make our true intentions clear. This barbaric ideology will no longer be tolerated. Islam must change or we will facilitate its self-destruction.”

In his ugly lessons, he taught that “International laws protecting civilians in wartime are no longer relevant,” and that mainstream Muslims are dangerous, because they’re violent by nature. He also called for a Hiroshima-style destruction of the holy cities of Mecca and Medina.

Those who sat in his classes and patiently listened to his mad remarks are the ones who are now serving in Afghanistan and teaching the same hate lessons to their subordinates and even encouraging them to wipe out the Muslim community.

The atrocities perpetrated by the US military in the Muslim countries over the past 11 years or so are closely associated with and inspired by these appalling teachings.

Washington and the Zionist groups have long been making relentless efforts to depict Islam and the Muslims in dark shadows. An in-depth investigation into Islamophobia ‘Dubbed as Fear, Inc. The Roots of the Islamophobia Network in America’ was carried out by the Center for American Progress in the United States. The report sheds light on the collective efforts of the Zionist groups funded by the United States in pedaling a hatred for and a fear of Islam in the form of books, reports, websites, blogs, and carefully crafted talking points. According to the report, these wealthy donors and foundations also provide direct funding to anti-Islam grassroots groups.

The project of Islamophobia which has cost more than $40 million over the past ten years has been funded by seven foundations in the United States: 1. Richard Mellon Scaife Foundation; 2. Lynde and Harry Bradley Foundation; 3. Newton and Rochelle Becker; 4. Foundation and Newton and Rochelle Becker Charitable Trust; 5. Russell Berrie Foundation, Anchorage Charitable Fund and William Rosenwald; 6. Family Fund; 7. Fairbrook Foundation.

After all, Islamophobia is nothing new. Despite its rising upsurge in recent years, there have been efforts in the past to promote this pernicious trend.

Years ago, prominent Orientalist Edward Said warned of these calculated efforts in the West, arguing that the essentializing nature of the Orientalist enterprise has resulted today in misguided, inaccurate depictions of Islamic cultures: “Most of the pictures represent mass rage and misery, or irrational (hence hopelessly eccentric) gestures. Lurking behind all of these images is the menace of jihad. Consequence: a fear that the Muslims will take over the world.”

Islamophobia is a form of political colonialism; an ideological war against Islam and the Muslims. It is a pernicious practice used by Washington and its allies to justify their lust for Muslim blood, give validity to their military expeditions in Muslim countries and seize hold of their numerous resources.

She enumerated on the need for good training of children, healthcare and personal hygiene; while she called on women to reciprocate the efforts of the hard work of their husbands.

In appreciation of the references to women with good virtues in the Bible made by Mrs. Nwachukwu, Muslim Sisters’ representative of Imam Hassan sub-unit of the Kaduna center, Malama Aisha mentioned that those virtues are some of the numerous virtues of the Lady of honor Sayyida Zahra (AS) and, she expressed gratitude.

In his response, the head of the Kaduna center Malam Mukhtar Sahabi thanked the Christian women for attending the event and contributing in their own way. He explained that their presence at the occasion proves the enemies of progress in our society wrong and that, “we can still live together harmoniously” as he describes the conflicts afflicting the society as instituted and not real. He described the virtues of Sayyida Fatima (AS) as inexhaustible, due to her position and greatness before the Almighty God.

The Christian contingents were treated to a packaged feast and gifts that were offered to them by the head of the Kaduna center after they had pictures with some of the Muslim Sisters at the occasion.

Assalam aleikum

i am from the norther part of the country.and as you can see from my username i am Shia.i was attracted by a discussion in the Islamic forum and i registered an account to take part.i saw that my Shia brothers in the forum have gone really far to educated those poor in knowledge from whom truth is concealed.i hope you accept me in the forum.

vedaxcool: Lol! it seems someone always has a great difficulty keeping his words and more hilarious is seeing someone happily bearing the username rafidi! U might want to checkout what rafidi stands for that is if you are not u know who spear Id. Lol!

proudly Rafidi!

Sunnis use that word as a derogatory term to identifying the Shiites for rejecting the usurpation of the three sunni idols of qureish-abu bakr,umar and usthman."rafidi"="rejecters in my own case.

i proudly reject the taghoot of qureish and i am proudly a RAFIDI

they never realize by calling us rafidi,they are honouring us. :

vedaxcool: [size=14pt]It is funny that I once told lagoshia that most Nigerians do not identify themselves as sunnis and he kept barking in that thread accusing me of lying yet we see here peoples designating themselves as Muslims,[/size] but being a shia or sunni is basically what people believe, like if you say the companions of the prophet disobeyed the prophet's order and that they are some unprintable names that lagoshia use, then definately u are a shia, if on the otherhand you say the prophet's companions choose amongst themselves rightly and neither did they disobeyed the prophet's order nor ignore his command then you are a sunni. At the end the shia/sunni divide is nt an issue in Nigeria yet ( though I have heard of clashes in Sokoto amongst them) as[b][size=14] Nigerians àre overwelmingly sunnis.[/b][/size] In any case playing ostrich is never going to erase the facts on ground.

Assalamu aleikum,
