Report
By Stephen Lawan
Leader
of the Islamic Movement in Nigeria, His Eminence Sheikh Ibraheem Zakzaky says
there was never a time when unity of the Muslim Ummah was more paramount than
now when enemies are all out against it. He made the statement at the grand
finale (Khatmah) of the birthday of the Holy Prophet in Zaria and environs,
which took place at the Zaria City Juma’at Mosque.
He said, “This is not
the time for sectional sentiments and divisible statements among Muslims.
Enemies of Islam are sponsoring campaigns of calumny among Muslims, and any
Muslim who engages in acts of disunity or making foul statements on his fellow
Muslims, is doing their dirty work. This is the work of the Zionist enemies. We
should not give room to disunity among us to serve our enemies”.
Sheikh
Zakzaky also enumerated strategies being used by enemies of Islam to pollute
minds of gullible Muslim youths, especially young girls by way of popular
culture, bad films, internet and acts inimical to Islam.
“They
chose young girls as tools, knowing that young girls will be mothers of
tomorrow and they will disseminate such bad culture imbibed to their children,
and eventually the whole society”, he remarked.
His
Eminence further said, the current anti-Islam posture was he issue of false
flag operations, in which they created fake Jihadist groups and brand them
terrorists.
“The
whole aim is to brand and present Islam in bad image, as a religion of terrorists
which must be abhorred. Through made up images and news broadcasts, they show
that Islam is synonymous with terrorism. Having that inculcated into the psyche
of the people, they would have justification for all-out war on Islam and
Muslims”.
Citing
the Nigerian episode, he said, because they could not find among Muslims groups
in Nigeria that could do their dirty work, they created a faceless terror cell
in the name of “Boko Haram”, senselessly killing people, with the highest
causality among the Muslims in the northern part of the country.
He
wondered how a Jihadist group with an agenda of establishing an Islamic society
through the teachings of Prophet Muhammad will engage in senseless killing of
Muslims in mosques.
“This
is ridiculing Islam and Muslims! We cannot be fooled. All the killings is done
by the government of Ebele Jonathan through the security forces with
substantial direct assistance from his foreign masters. Their hands are visible
in all the arson and killings across the country. Nigerian government led by
Ebele Jonathan is the real Boko Haram, while Jonathan and his security
operatives are machineries implementing the killings. Let no one be deceived
that there is a group of Muslims called Boko Haram. How can a Muslim on a Jihad
mission kill people indiscriminately, including his fellow Muslim?”
The
Leader said, while this was going on and Muslims were commemorating the
birthday of Prophet Muhammad, the enemies decided to strike at the heart and
very existence of Islam and Muslims, with an unfortunate blasphemous cartoon by
a Paris-based magazine, Charlie Hebdo. He pointed out that, the Charlie Hebdo
issue was clandestinely planned as part of the on-going war on Islam.
“They
exposed themselves by an immediate gathering in Paris to express solidarity
with the magazine. That gave them way. Those present at the gathering were in a
way openly telling us they are enemies of our Beloved Prophet. They held hand
with the greatest terrorists in the world such as Benjamin Netanyahu and Kerry
supporting the blasphemous publication”.
Sheikh
Zakzaky further explained that, “Having known our enemies and the manner they
operate, let no Muslim copy the enemies of Prophet Muhammad by painting our
brethren in a bad image, either verbally or in form of a cartoon as did Charlie
Hebdo. You do not have to draw or make foul statement on any Islamic scholar or
anyone to disagree with him. If you do that, you are copying Charlie Hebdo, our
enemies”.
He
concluded by giving glad tidings that Islam will eventually triumph: “Whether
they like it or not, Islam will eventually triumph. Islam will be firmly
established against all odds. Let Muslims face this global challenge as did the
Holy Prophet through good and exemplary conduct. The Prophet of Islam triumphed
over his enemies not by sword, but good conduct”.
