Nigeria: Sharia Laws To Be Enforced on Christians

AP & ICC ^ | 5/9/04 | AP & ICC

[Mark Felton]

Lawmakers in a mostly Islamic Kano State have passed a law calling for Muslims to be whipped and Christians to be jailed if they are caught drinking alcohol.

The law still needs to be signed by the governor to become law. Muslims have consistently assured Christians around the world that when they want to pass Sharia laws they will only apply to Muslims and yet sadly this type of escalation is the usual result.

The law calls for Muslims to be whipped with ``eighty strokes of the cane''. In the five years since the end of military rule in Nigeria, the implementation of Islamic Shariah laws in northern Nigeria - including stonings and amputations - has sparked repeated religious clashes killing thousands. Christian church leaders have distanced themselves from the killings, blaming them on rogue criminal elements.

More than 10,000 people have been killed in ethnic, religious and political violence in Africa's most populous country since President Olusegun Obasanjo was first elected in 1999, ending 15 years of repressive military rule.

Much of the violence has occurred between rival Christian and Muslim factions in Kano and other cities after a dozen northern states began implementing Islamic Shariah law in late 1999.

"In reality Islam is a revolutionary ideology and programme which seeks to alter the social order of the whole world and rebiuld it in conformity with its own tenets and ideals... ...Islam wishes to destroy all States and Governments anywhere on the face of the earth which are opposed to the ideology and programme of Islam..." -- From Sayeed Abdul A'la Maududi, Jihad in Islam

So much for the Eucharist...

Fascinating especially with the article posted on Friday:

Wherever there is mayhem and murder, pillaging and rape, Islam is always close by..

Somebody, the FTC, the FDA, somebody better put a stop to this, IMMEDIATELY.

This is what we get for not supporting the fledgling state of Biafra way back when. We should never compromise with people who are intent on doing us harm, otherwise we're just sealing our death warrant; to be opened some day in the near future. Churchill's admonition to Chamberlain is as true today as it was on the eve of WWII. We would do well to remember it.

I sent this to the City Council, with Nigeria crossed out and Hamtrack replacing it. I titled it "Coming soon to your neighborhood".

I don't expect an answer.

"Wherever there is mayhem and murder, pillaging and rape, Islam is always close by.."

Perfectly acceptable as long as it's in the name of "peace." /sarcasm off

[monkeywrench]

Need to send it to some in canadistan, too.

I see they found the next chairman for the U.N Human Rights Commission.

Don't think that NYC is immune from this idiocy. In fact, a few years ago Lafayette-a shooting gallery in Bensonhurt that doubles as a public high school-allowed the devout muslims among its student body to be sequestered in a gymnasium five times a day to conduct daily prayer sessions.

Why do we let the lunatics run the asylum?

125 million people -- 50% Muslim, 40% Christian (and 10% indigenous religions, presumably). Talk about a civil war waiting to happen. .....with perhaps millions of casualties.

"125 million people -- 50% Muslim, 40% Christian (and 10% indigenous religions, presumably). Talk about a civil war waiting to happen. .....with perhaps millions of casualties."

Yeah, but isn't it the Muslims with the guns?

Hey -- this finally sounds like a mission the UN can help solve, eh? (eyeballs rollin')

[lavrenti]

Remember Biafra? Looks like this will happen again.

[Mr. Mojo]

I'm not sure which group has the superior firepower in that country. ....But you're right, probably the Koraniacs.

The UN? Their job is to levy international taxes, submit gun control legislation, and generally oppose America and American values at every turn (using primarily American taxpayer dollars to do so, of course).

And how about Sudan - a nation that enslaves, tortures, and murders Christians - being recently appointed to head the UN's Human Rights Commission? The world has gone completely insane.

[Savage Beast]

And remember, the Muslim Dream is a worldwide Islamic theocracy, with the Koran as the only constitution and the shariah as international law.

[The Scourge of Yazid]

Or East Timor, Cyprus, Kashmir, etc. Mujahids bent on our civilization's destruction add yet another sliver to their ultimate quest for a worldwide ummah. Stop me if you've heard this one before.

[F16Fighter]

"Remember Biafra? Looks like this will happen again."

Biafra? Yep, I do indeed remember -- kids starving. Skin and bone.

Of course the UN failed in it's mission then, and it will certainly ignore this latest incarnation. As usual, IF this tragedy is to be avoided, the U.S. MUST step in -- but will we?

By now I'm thinkin': Where are the Human Shields when we need them? :-D

[NYC GOP Chick]

What's the over/under on when Europe submits to sharia law? Only a matter of time, the way they're kowtowing to the islamofascists in their midst.
