BlueTigerLion 09/01/25 6:28:59 PM #1:	https://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/top-news/817813-mob-lynch-food-seller-in-niger-state-for-alleged-blasphemy.html A female food vendor identified as Ammaye was on Saturday evening lynched by a mob in Kasuwan Garba in the Mariga Local Government Area of Niger State. The police said she was accused by a mob of blasphemy against Prophet Muhammad. The incident began when her nephew reportedly joked that he wanted to marry her to fulfil the Sunnah. Ammayes response was allegedly considered blasphemous and ignited fury among residents. Despite the intervention of the local district head and law enforcement officers, a mob reportedly overpowered the security personnel, dragged her away, stoned her, and then set her ablaze. The Chairman of the Mariga Local Government, Abbas Kasuwar Garba, confirmed the development. The police spokesperson in the state, Wasiu Abiodun, also confirmed the report in a statement. According to Mr Abiodun, the police received the report around 2 p.m. on the day the incident happened. Before additional reinforcements could be deployed, the crowd overpowered our officers, whisked her away, and set her ablaze, Mr Abiodun said. Investigations are ongoing and those found culpable will be brought to justice, he added. Jungle justice is not unprecedented in northern Nigeria. In May 2022, Deborah Samuel, a Christian student at a Sokoto college, was stoned and set on fire by fellow students after being accused of blasphemy in a WhatsApp group chat. Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International have repeatedly documented growing tensions and failures of law enforcement to prevent mob violence in Nigeria. In northern states, where Sharia law criminalises blasphemy, such incidents flourish under a climate of rumour, mistrust, and fragile rule of law. --- Hey now. <cite>BlueTigerLion posted [p:986274199] in Woman lync...

These people are barbaric and in a better world would face justice before they could lynch someone and this poor woman would still be alive.

LightSnake 09/09/25 11:52:24 AM #41:	[LFAQs-redacted-quote] Of course we see it for Christianity, too. The issue is there is a willingness to condemn Christian extremism while making more excuses for Islamic extremism. And it's not limited to violence. We rightly condemn those who preach for a Christian theocracy in western countries, but there's a bit of thumb twiddling about those wanting a Muslim one. I've seen leftists happily ally with guys who literally saying being LGBT should be criminalized and the US would be better off under Al-Qaeda than Biden. There is a ton of criticism against Israel (and rightly so) but look at the repeated excuses for Iran an how Saudi Arabia has all but dropped out of the conversation. One thing about Islam, as a religion, is it is also very much a self-demonstrating argument in how it purports to be the final, immutable faith that is not subject to any change in addition to also including "this is how society should be run" complete with legal system. In a vacuum, there's not much wrong with this anymore than Christianity, but there's a blindspot for it. The Founders were open that Muslims and Hindus are welcome in the US, but secular Democracy is non-negotiable. And yes, the greatest threat in the US is right wing Christian fundamentalism. They're also the majority. But like...I'm sorry, there's a very big tendency to criticize Christian theology at its root that doesn't seem to be there for Islam. Hell, it's more acceptable on the Left now to criticize Judaism's scriptures (And being clear: Judaism was never meant to be seen as infallible and immutable) --- Ring the bells that still can ring/Forget your perfect offering/There is a crack in everything/That's how the light gets in."- RIP, Leonard Cohen <cite>LightSnake posted [p:986349044] in Woman lync...

The issue is there is a willingness to condemn Christian extremism while making more excuses for Islamic extremism. And it's not limited to violence. We rightly condemn those who preach for a Christian theocracy in western countries, but there's a bit of thumb twiddling about those wanting a Muslim one.I've seen leftists happily ally with guys who literally saying being LGBT should be criminalized and the US would be better off under Al-Qaeda than Biden. There is a ton of criticism against Israel (and rightly so) but look at the repeated excuses for Iran an how Saudi Arabia has all but dropped out of the conversation.One thing about Islam, as a religion, is it is also very much a self-demonstrating argument in how it purports to be the final, immutable faith that is not subject to any change in addition to also including "this is how society should be run" complete with legal system. In a vacuum, there's not much wrong with this anymore than Christianity, but there's a blindspot for it. The Founders were open that Muslims and Hindus are welcome in the US, but secular Democracy is non-negotiable.And yes, the greatest threat in the US is right wing Christian fundamentalism. They're also the majority.But like...I'm sorry, there's a very big tendency to criticize Christian theology at its root that doesn't seem to be there for Islam. Hell, it's more acceptable on the Left now to criticize Judaism's scriptures (And being clear: Judaism was never meant to be seen as infallible and immutable)</quote> ... Copied to Clipboard!
