Kantebalandougou, Guinea — A Saudi Arabian preacher was shot dead in Guinea’s east after organizing a prayer service that angered some villagers in the majority-Muslim West African country, local sources said Wednesday.

Sheikh Abdul Muhsin Al-Tuwaijri was a member of a mission building mosques in Upper Guinea and was killed on Tuesday night in the village of Kantebalandougou, between the towns Kankan and Kerouane.

He was “shot twice in the chest while riding a motorcycle with a villager on the way to get his car,” a security source told AFP.

“The Saudi died at the scene while his companion, who owned the motorcycle, was seriously injured and taken to a hospital in Kankan,” said a medical source.

Are you implying that Africa is a law-abiding place where no killings take place? Or that there are not tons of un-Islamic practices in Sub-Saharan Africa among the Muslims there? Luckily those practices are vanishing for good due to Dawah work from KSA among others.

Did you know that a branch of Daesh in the Philippines targeted another Saudi Arabian cleric not long ago, however he survived?

This might be the work of Jihadists as I see no sane reason to assassinate him. Even if they disagreed with his preachings, killing him, has nothing to do with Islam.

May be they don’t like wahhabite to spread rabies of isis ideology.

There is nothing called "Wahhabism". It is the Hanbali fiqh which is 1 of 4 traditional Sunni madahib. A minority within KSA follows the Hanbali fiqh. I for instance grew up with the Shafi'i fiqh. Islam itself originates from modern-day KSA as does "Sunni Islam", "Shia Islam" and Sufism.

Daesh has nothing to do with the religious teachings in KSA other than likewise focus on Tawheed which is an key ISLAMIC principle. I totally agree with this. Every single Muslim should. No partners of Allah (swt), no idiotic grave/tomb worship, no worship of wannabe "saints" etc.

Also is a wannabe Muslim like you going to support the killing of a peaceful cleric because of disagreeing with his preachings? What has that to do with Islam? Is that not what Daesh and other terrorist groups are doing?

Whether people were angry or not...does it give anyone the right to take the life of an innocent person. And when some Muslim dies..we don't say "hmmm" rather we say RIP and inna lillahi wa innah alaihi ra'jeoon.

Not all Saudis are Wahabi and not all Wahabis support ISIS rather KSA is against ISIS

bro, IMHO the correct response is NOT even recognizing & accepting the word "wahabism" since there is NO such thing and the term was coined by political opponents of the scholar Sh. Ibn Abdul Wahab and many say the brits were actively involved in fomenting this opposition, leading "anti-wahhabi" propaganda in S.Asia and coining the term. Also one should be careful IMHO in using the term in such negative connotation since Al-Wahhaab is one of the names of Allah (swt). Whatever sh. Ibn Abdul Wahhab preached with regards to scinece of tawheed was Nothing new but already well known in the vast ocean of islamic scholarships.

These "anti-wahhabi" propaganda is just newest in line of the never ending salvo of anti-muslim divide and rule tactic of the liberal secular anti-islamic forces/west. They apparently have a problem with "wahhabism" but in one digs deep one will see that they also have a problem with tabliqees, hanafis, shafiis, malikis, maturedis etc etc because at the end of the day there is 0 difference between all these groups when it comes to beliving in the absolute Oneness of God, the last Messenger (saw), all the pillars of faith, Quran, sunnah, the unchanging nature of Islamic principles and the Supremacy of Islam, its laws and values. WHat they really have a problem with is Muslims still NOT giving into to liberalism and post-modernistic western values of gender confusion, free sex, drinking culture, dysfunctional family etc etc. They have a problem with Islam NOT deforming itself into something they like and can control.

May Allah bless the departed soul.

It is now part of our culture anyone who speaks about pure Tawheed will be labelled as Wahabi .
Poor guys I feel pity for them they don't have tasted pure form of Tawheed. May Allah guide them to the right Path

RIP. who killed him? and why?

I am just really bewildered as to why would he get killed in a Muslim majority village for, and I quote, "organizing a prayer service that angered some villagers in the majority-Muslim West African country". Possessed people?

Janab, you really got ahead of yourself on this.

Cannibalism is still practiced in Africa. Lynching of suspects is common place. Necklacing being a popular method. Shamanistic rituals are mixed with Islam, Christianity etc.

"Jihadis/terrorists/call it what you want" are present in that part of Africa (Boko Haram, Al-Qaeda etc.) let alone various armed groups. Crime rates can't be low either.

Ignorance could be another reason. Dislike for strangers and non-Blacks. I don't know what the circumstances of his death were but I do know that killing a random preacher due to disagreements (apparently) is not the way forward.

Plenty of possible reasons.

Most likely this is a sporadic/freak incident as Muslim clerics from across KSA, Arab world and Muslim world have been visiting Africa without much trouble.

This is a first of a kind incident. I can only recall something similar having happened with another Saudi Arabian cleric in the Philipines some time ago and that murder attempt (luckily it failed) was done by local Daesh sympathizers.

Can't kill me!

I have deep respect for Al-Qarni's work and his determination to help (that have only grown after his failed assassination attempt obviously) eradicate misguided opinions within Islam whether related to militancy or Tawheed.

A real cleric!

This is the type of clerics that I have the utmost respect for. Learned clerics who do not shy away from controversial topics that need to be addresses in the Muslim world. Who do field work and try to engage with Muslim communities across the world. Who put their lives in danger. Who do simple field work. Who develop ties to local communities.

Most do this incognito or with little publicity.

The best example that I can think of was this Kuwaiti scholar.

Abdul-Rahman Al-Sumait who was also a physician and a great humanitarian.

Al-Sumait mourned by hundreds

Even if you are an atheist that is against religion, you cannot deny the good that he did and many similar scholars.

Al-Rajhi senior too. Utmost respect. People whose hands you kiss when you see them out of respect.

Not because of their descent or status in society but due to their work (track record).

Genuine respect is earned not given.

Clerics from KSA and the Arabian Peninsula will continue to engage with Africa. Like done for millennia (long before Islam).

Killings will not stop them.
