francisbiz:when, and where have you ever heard of Shia Muslims killing Christians? you can go beyond the borders of Nigeria and cite once that Shia Muslims have attacked a church. there is no precedence. Shia Muslims do not practice Takfiri Killing (faith based killings). Wahhabis do that. do not spew hatred. |
sandland:hey fool, do not speak in the name of Shia. Not alll Shia in Nigeria are followers of Sheikh Zakzaky, even though Sheikh Zakzaky's Islamic Movement in Nigeria (IMN) is the largest Shia organization/group. you know nothing about Shia Islamic beliefs and principles. so do not utter rubbish. if the school is registered with government, then how is that disregard for state law or the authorities? |
EternalTruths:Sunni is a big word. It is even wrong to use the blanket word to refer to Boko and its likes. Break it down to Wahhabism. That is their common factor. |
EternalTruths:Shia Muslims are not anti-Nigeria. They are pro Nigeria and proudly Nigerian! The Shia will appreciate sympathy from any angle. But that doesn't translate to supporting separatism or disunity. The statement of the OP is more or less exploiting the Shia wound and sufferings. And it is very sad. |
EternalTruths:Well said in the first part. Among Sunnis, Saudi Wahhabism md it's influence and followers see Shia as threat. Largely Sunnis are peaceful. However, because Wahhabis pose as Sunnis, every Sunni is a potential Wahhabi. With knowledge and enlightenment, Sunnis everywhere will distance themselves from Wahhabism. |
Sealeddeal:Shia are not against our Sunni brothers. Majority of Nigerian Sunnis are Sufis. Shia and Sunnis live in peace. It is those minority Sunnis that follow Wahhabism that see Shia as apostates and heretics. And they are minority among Sunnis but deadly and hateful. Their language is terror and takfirism and force. They feed on blood. Shia and Sunnis are brothers. It is only when Saudi Wahhabism spreads its influence that you see blood of Muslims spilling. Otherwise, Shia and Sunnis have and will always live in peace. The main doctrine of Wahhabism is takfirism and takfiri killings. It divides Muslims into believers and unbelievers. |
TimeManager:Shia are first and foremost Muslims. Our God is Allah and our prophet is Muhammad (s) and our religion is Islam. |
CliffordOrji:You should feel ashamed as a Muslim, you're likely Sunni, that non-Muslims have more regards for the lives of your fellow Muslims than you do. Your sectarian blindness thanks to Saudi Wahhabi influence and Saudi-Iran rivalry, is making non-Muslims to have room to exploit our differences. Yet we have one God, one prophet, one holy book and one qiblah. Stop the hate mongering. The story is the same in western countries. Muslims find more freedom in the western countries to practice Islam than in their own countries. The infighting and hatred will lead to nothing good but will turn us into the laughing stock of the world. You can be Sunni and love your Shia brothers and sisters without yielding to Saudi Wahhabi influence. Wahhabism is all about dividing Muslims. It is about takfirism. It is about declaring other Muslims as disbelievers. You can be Sunni and still not be under the hateful spell of Wahhabi takfirism and dividing the ummah of Islam into believing Muslims and disbelieving Muslims. We are all believing Muslims! |
omenka:Nairaland is truly poor! Can you people stop spreading misinformation? Shia Islam is not an Iranian movement. Up till the 16th century, Iran was majority Sunni country. On the other hand, Egypt at a point in history was a Shia country. Shia Islam is not an Iranian movement just like Catholicism is not an Italian movement. There are Saudi Shia, Egyptian Shia, Lebanese Shia, Pakistani Shia, Indian Shia, and all these and many more nationalities are not Iranian. We Shia hate the idea of being linked or connected or associated with Iran in every way even to the extent of being accused that we are an Iranian movement. We share same beliefs with the majority of Iranians. But our faith is not a nationalistic Iranian movement. We can disagree politically with Iran and that doesn't mean we'd stop being Shia Muslims. |
CliffordOrji:The above is ignorance. Yazidis or izadis don't call themselves Muslims and they are not Muslims. They are not a sect/branch/ideology of Islam. Their religion predates Islam in Iraq. They have nothing in common with Shia Muslim. However, sectarian hatred has made some people go blind. It's like saying Muslims in the south west have similarities with sango worshipers because they share the same geographic space. For your info, Izadis are only found in Iraq and no where else. While Shia Muslims are found in every country of the world. |
Cardinal Onaiyekan Warns Christians in Kaduna; If El-Rufai Can Ban Shiite Group, He Might Ban Christian Churches Too Africa, Headlines, Religion By NewsRescue October 20, 2016 Archbishop John Olorunfemi Onaiyekan, who is the cardinal of the Roman Catholic Church, Nigeria, has gave out warnings stating that Nigeria might be unintentionally be preparing for another rebellion with the current measures against the Shiite Islamic group by the government of Kaduna State. Bishop Onaiyekan, made a description of the development as a sad one, which he advised the government to safeguard the freedom of religion of every single Nigerian. The Cardinal made this know during the weekend while he was on a visit to Ilorin on an invitation by Bishop Ayo Maria Atoyebi for a yearly one week spiritual retreat for the catholic priests of Ilorin diocese. “While on the move to keep advising the government, when you put a stop to a group of persons on the basis of religion, they won’t accept it. when people also feel like their basic rights have been trampled upon, they will say no. And when they refuse it, how they will react and protest might end up being more than what you can control. “It is at that point in time they will carry out some acts that the same government will paint as a violent reaction and you might need to bring forward more violent help. The story of Boko Haram should have taught us so much, and I am hoping that Governor El-Rufai, who used to be my friend in Abuja should surround himself with better advisers. Governor el-Rufai with EFCC officials, arrested for embezzlement Governor el-Rufai with EFCC officials, arrested on charges of embezzlement “In my opinion, what is going on with the Shiites I consider to be very sad. It is so sad. We should not forget in a hurry that this same group last year had a clash which we were told that they lost hundreds of their members, and some reported that their bodies were thrown into mass grave. “How can a religion be banned? I am not settled because, one day the government might just decide to ban the Catholic Church in Kaduna. So I am saying at the top of my voice at the moment so that when the moment comes that the Catholic Church is being banned, at least it will be remembered that I gave warnings when the Shiites group was also banned. It is not right at all. “We have gotten to a stage in Nigeria when we should be able to conform different religions.” Kaduna News Online Read more: http://newsrescue.com/cardinal-onaiyekan-warns-christians-kaduna-el-rufai-can-ban-shiite-group-might-ban-christian-churches/#ixzz4NceEsFDc CC: Seun Lalasticlala Mynd44 |
This is so fake! You need to improve your writing skills. The call to prayer you have used is the Sunni call to prayer (adhan). The Shia call to prayer is slightly different. Shia Muslims (except those who change from Sunni) rarely if at all bear the name Abu Bakr. You are not well informed to write silly fictional stories about Islam. I'm sure with the garbage you're composing you have already imagined yourself as another Salman Rushdie in the making. It's easy to insult others but hard to make sense. redon12: |
Naijacitizen:Wa alaikum assalam wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh! I think your questions are misplaced. You meant to direct them to members of the IMN. There is great misunderstanding even in the media. They call the IMN "Shiites". They are Shiites no doubt, but grouping them as such gives the IMN exclusivity over Shia Islam in Nigeria and that is wrong. Not every Shia belongs to the IMN. That is wrong because not every Shia or Shiite is a member of the IMN. The IMN is a local religious group or organization in Nigeria. Even in Nigeria, not all Shia Muslims identify with the IMN even though the IMN is the leading Shia Islamic group in terms of numbers. And the media is just lumping all Shia Muslims and gifting them to the IMN. The media also label the IMN a sect. It's a group. Shia and Sunni are the two major Islamic sects the world over. The Shia faith is worldwide. The IMN is local and Nigerian. Today the kaduna state government made a good clarification that it is the IMN that they banned and not Shiites or Shia Islam as a whole or as a religion. As to why the members of the IMN do not vote or take part in civil service, I have no idea. I am not part of the IMN. I however and unreservedly condemn the killings of all civilians or religious persecution in whatever form and shape and to whomever it is done to and by whoever. I've heard that some of them vote. And I've heard they don't. I read that Bukhari Muhammed Bello Jega who was killed in Zaria with his wife and child was an APC cardholder and he was an active campaigner for the president. You can run a quick Google search. I even saw a link to his Facebook profile and of the pictures he posted during elections. As for the generality of Shia Muslims, we believe in Imamate (divine leadership or divinely chosen leaders). We believe strictly that the only legitimate government is of the representatives of God (prophets and imams) and any government that takes its legitimacy from God based on the Holy Quran. Nevertheless, that doesn't mean we Shia go about disobeying law and order. We don't do that and our scholars have issued countless fatwas binding Shia Muslims to be peaceful and law abiding people wherever they find themselves, in their own countries or in foreign countries that may not even be Muslim countries but non-Muslim countries. I think the entire problem in Nigeria and the IMN is largely based on misunderstanding, mistrust, doubts and fear. Understanding and dialogue are always key to peaceful coexistence. |
Demmzy15:Why are you guys excited about tatbeer? We owe you guys no explanation. The 1% among us who do it, do it on their bodies. You guys should be ashamed of the ideology of terror you follow which sees your brothers blow up people of other faiths in takfiri attacks. Even those among us like myself and Albaqir who are in the overwhelming majority and we condemn tatbeer, we still understand the rationale behind the 1% who perform it. It's symbolic and its philosophical. Imam Hussein (as) was killed along with his household and companions by your fifth Sunni caliph. He was abandoned and betrayed by the hypocrites. The blood letting the minority perform either sincerely because they are overtaken by emotions or for show, is symbolic that they can use their blood to defend Imam Hussein (as). Now what is halal and what is haram? In Islam, actions are judged by intentions. You're following apparent error and supporting the path of the enemies of the Ahlul-Bayt (as) and the conspiracy of Saqifa, yet you make tatbeer an issue beyond its proportions. It's 1% or even less that do tatbir. The beauty of Shia Islam is that we are allowed to hold differing views on matters of jurisprudence and the branches of religion without us fighting among ourselves or shedding the blood of one another or passing on ourselves Takfir like your people do. People who share an ideology with those who use the same ideology to justify shedding the blood of innocent people of other faiths have no grounds to make tatbeer an issue. You guys should continue being childish and have fun. Brother Albaqir shouldn't entertain you guys. |
Ayatollah Sistani releases official fatwas with his seal or directly from his official website (www.sistani.org) . If the alleged fatwa of Ayatollah Sistani has neither a seal and nor from his website (no link), that fatwa is not genuine. I just checked the above website. I checked the Q&A and also made a search on tatbeer or tatbir and I got no results. |

Abagworo:Keep lying. First you accused the Shia of being behind religious violent against Christians. And now you're trying to link them to Boko. Boko is Sunni Wahhabi. Wahhabis are the Sunnis who see Shias as apostates and heretics. The two can never mix. Those who kill Shia and hate them in fact have the same takfiri beliefs and mission as Boko. Wahhabi groups and clerics want to eliminate Shias. Shias are an antidote against Wahhabi terror groups like Isis and Boko. |
x12345678x:Don't mind him. He represent the Wahhabi current in Sunni Islam. |
lexiconkabir:Both the houthis and hezbollah are national movements in Yemen and Lebanon respectively. They are more or less like Niger delta militants. They want greater say in their countries. The represent populations. Hezbollah in Lebanon has its main mission to drive out Israeli occupation of southern Lebanon which is predominantly Shia Muslim. And they are supported by the local population. Hezbollah has 14 MPs in the Lebanese parliament and two ministers in the Lebanese government. Hezbollah represents a constituency in Lebanon that is 43% of the Lebanese population. Of course, to Israel hezbollah is a terrorist group because they fought to reclaim their stolen land in south Lebanon. To Lebanese and the greater world, hezbollah is a resistance and freedom fighting movement. And Sunnis who sort of want to "balance the equation" would borrow from the Israelis and their friends to label hezbollah as a terrorist group. Likewise, the houthis in Yemen are fighting for national power for the community they represent in parliament. Both groups don't go about bombing people of other faiths in takfiri attacks as Sunni Wahhabi takfiri terror groups like Boko and Isis do in faith based cleansing. In fact in Lebanon hezbollah is allied with the largest Christian bloc in the Lebanese parliament led by a retired Christian army chief. There is not one example of Shias killing people of othee faiths because of what they believe. |
Evergreen4:The Sunnis are divided into two extremes: The Salafist/Wahhabis and the Sufis. The Sufis have orders. Tijjaniyyah is one. They are Mystics. Sufis are all after worship and mysticism. Salafists or Wahhabis are the extremists who label everyone else as infidels and only they are "true Muslims". They are referred to as takfiris. |
[WARNING: DISTURBING VIDEO AND IMAGES IN BELOW LINK] Deadly Attack On Shia Muslims Continues In Kaduna From “House To House” [VIDEO]http://newsrescue.com/deadly-attack-shia-muslims-continues-kaduna-house-house-video/#ixzz4NACFYn3f

ChimaAdeoye:thank you my brother. before you know it, one ignorant mod will push this thread to the front page to cause a stir and spread misinformation. this practice of self-inflicted harm or self-flagellation is called in Arabic/Islamic terminology TATBEER OR TATBIR. (disclaimer: the above picture of a man gauging his eyes out is false. tatbeer does not include gauging one's eyes. perhaps that man is from another faith). we Shia Muslims denounce this ritual. it is less than 1% among us that insist on doing this symbolic ritual when we commemorate the martyrdom of Imam Hussein (as), the third Shia imam and grandson of Prophet Muhammad (s) on the holy day of Ashura in the holy Islamic month of Muharram. our highest ranking scholars (ayatollahs) have issued countless fatwas (religious decrees) to ask the ignorant and uneducated ones who are overzealous in practicing this ritual to stop it. it is very hard to find any Nigerian Shia doing this ritual because almost all our scholars reject it. many Shia Muslims around the world have stopped and a few still insist on carrying it out on Ashura. they believe that its a symbolic ritual to demonstrate their willingness to die and sacrifice their bodies for Imam Hussein (as), who was betrayed and abandoned to be beheaded along with his family members in Karbala by the army of the fifth Sunni caliph, Yazeed Ibn Muawiya. however our scholars have insisted that self harm is forbidden in Islam and in the Quran. as usual, the media does not see the good side of the commemoration where Shia show acts of kindness and worship, donate blood to hospitals, give out food and money, etc. good news is no news. the media focuses on this as a form of religious propaganda against all Shia Muslims, as if the overwhelming majority (99%) do not oppose this ritual. this ritual is alien to the commemoration of the martyrdom of Imam Hussein (as) on Ashura. it was copied from other religions, particularly Hinduism and Christianity/Catholicism around the 19th century CE. in Christianity, Catholics re-enact the "crucifixion" of Jesus. Catholic men crucify themselves. On Easter, Catholics crucify themselves in Latin American countries (particularly Mexico) and in the Philippines to feel the pains and sufferings of Jesus. on this same Nairaland, there are currently threads on this same topic on the Islam forum opened by both Shia (to denounce the practice) and by Sunnis (for propaganda). i dont know the need why there is such a thread in the political forum. it is aimed to spread religious propaganda hatred. you can check the threads here: https://www.nairaland.com/3395202/tatbir-flagellation-disturbing-innovation https://www.nairaland.com/3406280/2016-ashura-day-shia-slash |
Iraq violence: Dozens dead in Baghdad suicide attack on Shia 8 minutes ago From the section Middle East At least 32 people have died in a suicide attack targeting Shia in Iraq's capital Baghdad, officials say. More than 60 were injured in the blast, carried out on a tent in a crowded market in a northern district of the city. So-called Islamic State (IS) claimed responsibility for the attack. Many Shia pilgrims are taking part in mourning rituals commemorating the killing of the Prophet Mohammed's grandson, Hussein, in the 7th Century. Reports say a militant detonated a suicide vest in the tent at lunchtime, when it was full of pilgrims. IS said in a statement, published through the messaging service Telegram, that the attack on Saturday was carried out "in the middle of a gathering" in the Shaab area of Baghdad. BBC Middle East editor Sebastian Usher says Sunni militants have long used such pilgrimages as targets for attacks causing large scale casualties. This year, IS revived its bombing campaign in Baghdad killing hundreds of people, in what is seen as a response to the group's loss of much of its territory in Iraq. In July, a lorry packed with explosives was detonated in central Baghdad's popular shopping district of Karrada in what was the deadliest single bomb attack in Iraq since 2007. The latest attack comes as Iraqi forces prepare for an offensive in northern Iraq on Mosul, the last IS-held major city in the country. http://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-37667092 |
"Sunni takfiri militants" are bombing the Shia to stop the Shia "cutting themselves" on Ashura. that is the logic BetaThing and co. would give us to explain the above which is an almost daily/weekly occurrence around the world. |

BetaThings:if stupidity comes with accolades, you would have grown many horns on your head and tails from your a$$. ![]() your stupidity is unrivaled. the same $hit every time to vindicate Sunni terrorism,and particular its wahhabi offshoot by falsely implicating others or presenting propaganda, . the ideas and beliefs you have are only found in your imagination. al-qaeda "enjoyed the support of shias". that is fantastic lie. a first on nairaland from a re.tard like you. yet, alqaeda and its wahhabi appendages that keep multiplying continue to target and massacre Shia to your delight. you claim Sunnis denounce boko haram, but you cheer when Shia are killed right here in Nigeria. that is because the Shia are minority and the United States, your slave masters are not Shia. so you are not scared to support terror against Shia. if boko haram was a Sunni group only targeting Shia, you will praise them. your condemnation of boko haram is not because you do not share their hatred and killing genes. it is because of who the targets are. the targets are Christians and later on mainly Sunnis oposed to their doctrines of killings, so boko saw them as heretics; and much later they targeted Shia. your attitude to terror is hypocrisy. i do not know which kind of a filthy heart you have. how are you able to sleep at night with such confusion and spiritual bondage? the challenge you were given for years and counting is still waiting for an answer from you stupid Wahhabi bigot: ShiaMuslim: |
MrOlai:na your papa be deviant. because if he had trained you well, you will have a little respect for others. you are displaying his immoral ways here he imparted to you. |
MrOlai:Yes, it is very true! A visit to Karbala is worth 1000 hajj! but guess what? you have hearts that are padlocked (based on the description of the Holy Quran, and ears you can't hear with and eyes you do not see with). A visit to Karbala is worth 1000 hajj, not the obligatory once a lifetime/first time hajj. the obligatory first time or once a lifetime hajj (to Makkah) which is wajib/obligatory/mandatory can be said to be worth a 1000 visit to Karbala. that is what we believe. you guys can continue fooling yourselves with deceptive videos and lies to make your hearts dance the dance of jahiliyyah. |
