The
major streets of central Kano city in Northern Nigeria on Saturday 6th
Dhul Qadah 1433 (22/9/2012) was filled with protesters that heeded the
call of the leader of Islamic Movement
in
Nigeria Sheikh Ibraheem Zakzaky (H), protesting against the blasphemy
on Prophet (SAWA) and Islam. The protest march from Waje (Fagge) Friday
masjid passed through Murtala Muhammad way, Ibrahim Taiwo road, Kantin
Kwari market, Kofar Mata and ended at the old city central mosque.
This followed an anti-Islam film produced and directed in USA, and a subsequentinfamous cartoon by a French magazine.
Protesters
from all strata of the society carried placards and flags expressing
their grievances and stand, while on-lookers expressed full moral
support for the stand taken by the Islamic movement in Nigeria.
A
protester, Aisha, told our reporter why she couldn’t just stay at home
fold her arms and tolerate Noble Prophet being ridiculed. She wondered
why some Islamic clerics called on people to keep silent in the face of
this great sin. She commended the Islamic Movement for this great
solidarity and urged all Muslims to rally around Noble Prophet (SAWA.
In
his address to multitude of protesters, Sheikh Muhammad M Turi traced
the history of blasphemy on Prophet Muhammad (SAWA) and Islam to salman
rushdie in 1988 up to this time. He pointed out that, yearly the enemies
of Islam have concoct a project the latest of which was the released
the Anti-Islam movie in order to advance their cause. However the fatwa
of Imam Ruhullah Khomeini (QS) have shown to the enemies of Islam that
Islam is not dead, and Muslims are ever ready to defend its sanctities.
Sheikh
Turi called for banning of the blasphemous film, and a law be enacted
against blasphemy of faiths. He questioned the rationale of enacting of
law against ‘anti-semitism’, while blasphemy on the Prophet of Islam is
termed ‘freedom of expression. “As long as the greater shaitan, USA and
Israel, will not stop mockery of our Noble prophet (SAWA) and Islam, we
would not fold our arms and watch such ridicule and mockery go
unhindered.
Earlier
on Friday 5th Dhul Qadah 1433 (21/9/2012) a rally against the anti-
Islam movie and blasphemous cartoon was held at Fagge Friday mosque with
hundreds of thousands in attendance.
The flags of America, Israel and an effigy of president Obama were torched with protesters chanting, LABBAIKA YA RASULILLAH!!!
