The Sultan Should Visit the Family of Deborah Samuel For Condolence

▪️Sultan Of Sokoto Condemns Killing Of Female College Student For Alleged Blasphemy | Sahara Reporters

This immediate move by the Sultan of Sokoto is commendable. The Sultanate releasing a Press Release on the gruesome murder of Deborah Samuel by a murderous mob in Shehu Shagari College of Education, Sokoto, is a step in the right direction.

All violent mob actions and killings stand condemned. The Muslim Youths of Northern Nigeria should learn how to stage Peaceful protest. We can not continue like this.

Prophet Muhammad (sa) is the ultimate role model in Islam and his actions and reactions should be our guide. Among the four (4) 'pious' Caliphs of Sunni Islam, one of them was notorious in telling the Prophet (sa) even on simple matters such phrases:

"Let me kill him!"
"Let me cut off his head!"

Prophet Muhammad (sa) has NEVER assented to his request because that is a manifestation of violent extremism. What is suspicious of this his actions is that he has never accepted a duel to the death challenge on the Battlefield. No even once!

Unfortunately, some of our Sunni Youths think such behavior should be the normal state. That is with every little alteration "Cut off his head!" "Burn him alive!". They ignorantly think that such clear manifestation of violent extremism is a sign of piety and bravery. This is wrong thought process.

The role model of Muslims is Prophet Muhammad (sa) and not that Caliph. It is important to note that the bravest Companion of the Prophet (sa), his Cousin and Son-in-law, has never asked his permission to behead anybody and on all Battlefields he was the champion. This is what piety and bravery means.

Having said this, I will advise the Sultan of Sokoto to lead a high powered delegation to visit the family of the murdered Deborah Samuel. Such gesture will go a long way in improving religious tolerance in the North and defeating the menace of violent extremism and lawlessness.

It is important to note that what Deborah said was not blasphemy. She complained about posting religious stuffs in their class WhatsApp group. There was nowhere that the late Deborah Samuel insulted Prophet Muhammad (sa). Her gruesome murder stand condemned.

On a final note, our heartfelt condolences to the family of Deborah Samuel! God give them the fortitude to bear this loss!

That's not enough.. What will that do Will it bring the poor girl back from the dead.. Why no caution ur people to desist from their bad and brutal behaviors all because of religion that was brought to us by the Whites and the Arabs.

Thank God,

The Heroine is Gone, her killers are alive but they will surely reap the works of their hands and interestingly, he who spills blood will forever have blood spilled in his lineage one way or the other.

Na Strong Person Be Debbie......Deborah na strong Person....She wasnt a coward!

The fact that she could dare the Mofos who could only do a mob job on her... She walked where Angels couldn't dare...

To what end?

Condemning them publicly and hailing the perpetrators in secret.
No peace to all those backward animalistic Muslims fanatics and their supporters. May miserable death befall all them and may they rot in hell with their useless virgins.

Btw oga seun,why should I admit of being a Muslim b4 commenting on a Muslim thread while the case is to totally different in a Christian thread?
