Female student burnt to death in Sokoto ‘for insulting Prophet ’

[Wergeland]

A female student from Sokoto’s Shehu Shagari College of Education was tortured and burned to death on Thursday for supposed blasphemy.

According to reports, the school has announced its closure due to the issue. The announcement was obtained by this newspaper.

She was burnt to death by Muslim students who dragged her out of her hostel.

Similarly in March 2021, some angry youths backed by leaders in Sade community in the Darazo Local Government Area of Bauchi State burnt a man identified as Talle Mai Ruwa, to death for allegedly insulting Prophet Muhammad.

It was learnt that Mai Ruwa was dragged away from his house on Tuesday in the presence of his mother and burnt to death in the middle of the community.

In Nigeria’s northern area, the punishment of persons accused of insulting Islam’s prophet (Muhammad) or the religion itself is a topic of concern.

Yahaya Sharif-Aminu, a 22-year-old Muslim gospel musician, was sentenced to death in 2020 by a Shariah court in that axis for blasphemy in a series of private WhatsApp conversations. The same court found Umar Farouk, a 16-year-old boy, guilty of blasphemy after he allegedly insulted the Prophet Muhammad while arguing with a friend, and sentenced him to ten years in prison with hard labour.

Farouk’s sentence was overturned, while Sharif-case Aminu’s was ordered back to the court for a new trial. However, these draconian sentences are just one illustration of Shariah law’s questionable application in some northern Nigerian states.

The latest mob action against a tertiary university student is much more concerning.

Guess Islam is really the religion of peace.

What a disgrace.

Gobar mind will always be in search of gobar news.

Mods @Foxtrot Alpha @The Eagle @LeGenD
Can you change the title to make it more respectful. Change the last sentence to either “for insulting Prophet Muhammad (PBUH)” OR “for insulting the Prophet”.
The country title is disrespectful .

Guess Islam is really the religion of peace.

What a disgrace.

Islam is a religion of peace.
Look in history how many people Jews, Christians, Hindus, Buddhists etc have killed.
And then look in history and still now how merciful Muslims are and how they always protected the oppressed.

Killing someone in name of religion is most rampant in Islam, followed by Buddhism and then Hinduism....

Tens of millions were killed in the name of Christianity. Whole colonial rule was in the name of Christianity and Vatican. In North America in the name of Christianity you guys wiped out First Nations and massacred millions while sending their kids to concentration camps. In the name of Christianity you guys have massacred Jews, Muslims, pagans, and even opposing Christian sects.

No religion comes close to the crimes committed in the name of Christianity.

People who decide to torture and kill a individual on the pretext of protecting the honor of Holy Prophet (PBUH), are not true Muslims to begin with. This is plain murder.

This is false. Blasphemy laws are part of shariah but there’s a procedure to carry them out. Like for example in Hanafi Fiqh many scholars say blasphemy laws apply to Muslims only in Muslim states and should be carried out by the state. So if a ex Muslim becomes a blasphemer while living in a Muslim country, in Hanafi Fiqh (according to majority) the authorities would carry out the punishment for blasphemy against the blasphemer which is death UNLESS they repent in the given time frame and return to Islam because in Hanafi Fiqh Blasphemy = Apostasy. Torture is also one of the punishments as some Hanafi scholars are in the opinion that punishment for blasphemy should be Tazir. However, Imam Abu Hanifa’s view on blasphemy laws was that it only applies to Muslims and not non-Muslims.
Hence, a true Muslim CAN kill, torture or both, an ex Muslim on the pretext of protecting the honour of the Holy Prophet (ﷺ), BUT has to follow the Islamic procedure for it.

So you see ? Blasphemy as a concept has been used by kings, politicians, mullahs, village women and mobs to bring someone's life to end in a violent way for selfish ends and irrational emotions. Muslims should go back from this madness to the time two to three decades ago when so many Muslims were leftists. Muslim parents should name their sons back as Jamal Abdul Nasser ( like a student colleague of mine years ago ) instead of after Maulana Saad.

The salaf practiced blasphemy laws. All Sunni schools of Fiqh have blasphemy concept in it. Moreover Pakistan’s founder Quiad E Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah fought a case defending someone who carried out punishment for blasphemy and that too on the special request of Allama Iqbal.
Also blasphemy laws aren’t exclusive to Islam. They are in many religions.

What is more pathetic is the mindset of these religious fanatics.....it's not a war here by the way....it's blaming someone of blasphemy and killing the person without thinking......over that the state, law keep letting these happenings by being a silent spectator....

No it's not OK...I am pointing out at the cherry picking...pointing finger to other while conveniently ignoring faults of self.....

Here we go again with the "oh look what Christians are doing"...

You Christians should stop worrying about Islam and our blasphemy laws. Your laws are far more strict when it comes to blasphemy.

“Then the Lord said to Moses: “Take the blasphemer outside the camp. All those who heard him are to lay their hands on his head, and the entire assembly is to stone him. Say to the Israelites: ‘Anyone who curses their God will be held responsible; anyone who blasphemes the name of the Lord is to be put to death. The entire assembly must stone them. Whether foreigner or native-born, when they blaspheme the Name they are to be put to death.”
- Leviticus 24:13-16

 

[Sayfullah]

Religion of peace strikes again!

Christians, Jews, Sikhs have much harsher blasphemy punishments.
In Islam at least even after committing blasphemy you have a chance to repent and in Islam Allah is the most forgiving. Other religions don’t even have that. In Islam many if not majority of scholars say blasphemy laws apply in Muslim lands on Muslims only but your religious texts mention it for everyone everywhere.
Islam is the religion of peace and if you think shariah law or Islam is not peaceful, have a look at other religions religious scripts.

 

[jamahir]

The salaf practiced blasphemy laws.

1. How do you know ?

2. Did the salaf know you now call them salaf ? Stop being a ritualist please.

All Sunni schools of Fiqh have blasphemy concept in it.

I care only for rationalism and humaneness which is in true Islam. Quote me the Quran verse which enables "Ghustakh-e-Rasool ki ek hi saza, sar tan se juda, sar tan se juda" lynchings. All these schools of fiqh and all of that I decide to respect or reject their statements on basis of whether or not they stand to the test of reason and rationality. If you want to use irrationalism in these "schools of fiqh" to justify lynchings then you will just be being an irrational person getting emotional on wrong things. You should be emotional about the 20 million homeless people of Pakistan and speak for bring free high-quality homes to them than you agreeing fervently to what some irrational mullah and his followers declared 500 years ago, these who were the reason for the end of the Islamic Golden Age.

Moreover Pakistan’s founder Quiad E Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah fought a case defending someone who carried out punishment for blasphemy and that too on the special request of Allama Iqbal.

And four years after the founding of Pakistan the Pakistani leftist poet Faiz Ahmed Faiz and his Communist and Socialist comrades in the military and civilian society almost took over the governance of Pakistan but unfortunately their plan failed. This event to their opponents became known as the Rawalpindi Conspiracy. If they had succeeded and had established Communist or Socialist governance in Pakistan barbaric practices like blasphemy law and lynching for any reason would have been outlawed. Arrogant, anti-human and openly Tableeghi people now like @Qmjd would have been put into the Khewra salt mine to work contributingly for the first time in their lives and change their evil ways.

Also blasphemy laws aren’t exclusive to Islam. They are in many religions.

So if wrong things are there in many religions why should those be brought into Islam which is a religion of political, social, socio-economic and mystical progressiveness, justice and rationality ?

 

[Qmjd]

Oh do shut up, Tableeghi. You are a disgrace to Islam and to humanity ! If you are so enamored of death you can die and take your mates too. The Imran government should have arrested you too after the Sri Lankan's lynching. People like you deserve to be put into gulags so that you clear your filthy minds and become useful to humanity for the first time in your lives.



From where did you get the idea that I get my knowledge from some mullah ? I am a Communist too so I know what I am talking about. What has your text got to do with what I posted ? And where are you getting you anti-Islam anti-Muslim-achievements ideas from ?



Let us not call them Islamists because they are nothing from Islam. In fact they are anti-Islam. Look at the Tableeghi Qmjd above justifying a lynching.

Give your filthy idea to mayanmar who ooenly burned the Muslims not even children's are sparred. She had the nobel peaces winner. Or even USA who bombed the family with children juat for fun. Or iIsrael who is called baby killer. We muslim know the math. So get lost with your humanity shit to usa,israel,indian or jews forum, you are needed there not here.

Oh stop your pretense of being concerned with human misery. The same USA you are complaining about is the same USA which is using you Tableeghis in Libya and Syria for the last 11 years to work among Al Qaeda to murder and maim Libyans and Syrians and destroy those two countries. I am sure you will know someone who is fervently against Muammar Gaddafi and Bashar al Assad and you may even know some who have gone to Libya and Syria to fight against the Green Libyans and Assad's forces. So stop your hypocrisy and lies. And who are you to tell me to leave ? You should have some shame and make exit yourself.

Libyans.... Muammar Gaddafi ......Libya.......Green Libyans

Commoners should not be allowed to torture and kill an individual on any pretext. Blasphemy case should be handled through Law Enforcement (or relevant authorities).

 

[Tariq Habib Afridi]

lets assume men were punished according to the rules of torat (but a messenger of peace would have torn that book and behaved humanly instead of letting what happened)

What about women what they were sold in bazaar of dmaishk (that was not part of agreed punsihment), what would you call a person who traded captured women for new horses & weapons, what would you call a person who ordered selling of women in market for profits (or buying new weapons)

It shows you don't have the full study about this incident. First, The Kureza itself chose Sa'd ibn Mua'dh R.A to decide about their future and not Muhammad Rasoolullah. if they choose Muhammad SAW, they would have been asked to leave the medina, but they chose their friend SAAD and he decided on that punishment. and by the way, the same rule which is applied to them which was in torat was also from ALLAH.
Second, the thing about women you are again wrong, and for that, I would like you to read "Al Jihad fil Islam" book from maulana Maudoodi and they were not sold in any bazaar. your story is from some weak sources

Why even i care about anything that happened to non muslim. I give it a damn. I am not concerned at all. I know who started these wars in muslim countries.

Maudoodi cam 1000 year later, why would someone believe him, does he had time machine,
You will give more weightage to classical scholars who came earlier instead of some one who came in 19th century and writing details about something happened 1200 years ago and saying that previous alims were wrong

From where did you get the idea that I get my knowledge from some mullah ? I am a Communist too so I know what I am talking about. What has your text got to do with what I posted ? And where are you getting your anti-Islam anti-Muslim-achievements ideas from ?

1) I replied to your point of Religion of Peace with few instances
2) I also read likewise
