Rights lawyer Inibehe Effiong “said that Bala could not be subjected to Sharia law because he doesn’t subscribe to it….’It is only Moslems that are subject to Sharia law and that is the constitution because Sharia law is an Islamic law that governs lifestyle of Moslems who subscribe to Islam and followers of Prophet Muhammed.'”
Unfortunately, Sharia contains numerous regulations for non-Muslims. Islam mandates death for non-Muslim subjects of the Islamic state who mention “something impermissible about Allah, the Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace), or Islam” (‘Umdat al-Salik, o11.10), and such laws are based upon passages in the Hadith and Sira in which Muhammad orders the murders of people who have insulted him.
Anyway, here is yet another glimpse into the future of the U.S. This can’t happen here, you say? We respect the freedom of speech, you say? Maybe that was true at one time, but it is no longer. Cowardice is pandemic. Newspapers all over the country refused to republish the notorious Muhammad cartoons out of a newfound “respect” for Islam that they never showed for negative portrayals of Christianity, which they hailed as “courageous.” Those who call attention to the ideological roots of jihad violence are excoriated as racist, bigoted “Islamophobes,” and most organizations on both the Left and the Right would never dare feature such people as speakers. Any organization that does is immediately denounced and called upon to apologize, and it usually does. So given that this is the climate today, what do you think the situation will be like in ten or twenty years?
“Activist Arrested In Kaduna For ‘Insulting Prophet Muhammad’ On Facebook Receives Death Threats From Imam, Police Officer,” Sahara Reporters, April 29, 2020:
President of the Humanist Association of Nigeria, Mubarak Bala, has started receiving death threats for ‘insulting Prophet Muhammad’ on Facebook, SaharaReporters has gathered.
Bala was arrested by men of the Nigerian Police in Kaduna for blasphemy.
His arrest followed a petition by a group of lawyers to the Kano State Police Commissioner to prosecute him for the act.
One of Bala’s friends, who spoke with SaharaReporters on Wednesday, said a popular Muslim cleric and a policeman both in Kano have both vowed to kill him if found.
He said, “We have spoken to the Police Public Relations Officers in Kaduna and he told us that Mubarak’s case was not their case.
“He said the detectives that arrested him were sent from Kano. We pressed to know if they would transfer the case to Force Headquarters in Abuja but he said no, that Mubarak will be transferred to Kano where the complaint was lodged.
“In the past weeks, Mubarak has received several death threats from extremists in Kano including an Imam. A police officer had also threatened to kill him if he found him.”
Findings by SaharaReporters revealed that Bala, who is an atheist, is already being moved to Kano where he could be executed if found guilty under Sharia law.
Reacting to the issue, rights lawyer, Inibehe Effiong, said that Bala could not be subjected to Sharia law because he doesn’t subscribe to it.
He said, “It is only Moslems that are subject to Sharia law and that is the constitution because Sharia law is an Islamic law that governs lifestyle of Moslems who subscribe to Islam and followers of Prophet Muhammed…..

It’s not normal. And he has the right to insult PedoMohammed

The god of Islam definitely wants Muslims to make even those who are not Muslims submit to the rules of Islam. Verse 9:29 of the Koran makes that clear. A government can make laws that contradict the Koran but the Muslims who do not want to be counted among the hypocrites will do all they can to see that the words of Allah are obeyed. This means making everyone submit to Islam and yes, that includes atheists, and I might also add it includes getting the hypocrites in line also.
Jude Cross says
It reminds me of Gideon Akaluka who was killed in the 90s for blasphemy. A mob got to him in a prison cell, where he was kept for his own protection, and decapitated him.
In Gombe State in northern Nigeria, a high school teacher was murdered by her students–aged 12-15years– for defiling a Quran.
I loathe Islam.
Jude Cross says
Both cases were in northern Nigeria where Muslims dominate.

Sharia law has no actual definition of ‘blasphemy’, because it doesn’t need to. In Islam, something is either PERMITTED (halal) or FORBIDDEN (haram).
Saying something ‘impermissible’ about Islam is enough to get you KILLED or MURDERED by Islamic vigilantes. Didn’t you know?
Punishment of Blasphemers from Sharia manual Reliance of the Traveller’:
“The (DHIMMI) agreement is also violated (A: with respect to the offender alone) if the state has stipulated that any of the following things break it, and one of the subjects does so anyway, though if the state has not stipulated that these break the agreement, then they do not; namely, if one of the subject people:
-5- mentions something impermissible about Allah, the Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace), or Islam.” – Reliance of the Traveller’ Chapter ‘O’ 11.10.05.

As Robert Spencer says above, this will be the future of the United States if Americans do not make an effort to understand the viciousness of DISCRIMINATORY SHARIA LAW.
There is NOTHING GOOD for the dirty KAFIR in Sharia law.
keith says
A barbaric cult with no redeeming qualities whatsoever.
Islam is based around subjugation, of it’s followers and anyone who crosses it’s path, with an intent of world domination.
Murder is just one way for the mudslimes to shut up any opposition.
Charlie says
I atheist down. How many believers have been executed under Sharia law? I’ll bet thousand more believers have been executed, than atheist. Now, someone wants to yell foul! Really:-)

Unlike you, I don’t want to see anyone murdered under Shari’ah law.

Nigeria: Atheist faces execution under Sharia for insulting Muhammad on Facebook
Rights lawyer Inibehe Effiong “said that Bala could not be subjected to Sharia law because he doesn’t subscribe to it….’It is only Moslems that are subject to Sharia law and that is the constitution because Sharia law is an Islamic law that governs lifestyle of Moslems who subscribe to Islam and followers of Prophet Muhammed.’”
………………………
Good luck with this argument. In reality, the horrors of Shari’ah law are indeed imposed on non-Muslims.
FYI says
People are entitled to be atheists and be free to think for themselves.
Theocracies and religious tyranny must be opposed.
Now, are these insults to muhammed..?
1}Say,has anyone seen muhammed’s MAGICAL WINGED FLYING DONKEY with a woman’s face?Nobody huh?
2}Hey check out my abs Abdool.You know …i’ll bet the prophet of islam never looked this good
because………..the prophet muhmamed was fat{Abu Dawud 40:4731}
Hey look i’m using islamic sources OK?
3}Did you just tie your own shoelaces laura?That’s amazing!Only TWO years old..you know who couldn’t do that?..the “prophet” muhammed..and he was a “grown up”
4}That muhammed:”he can’t read,he can’t write…..he can’t sing,he can’t dance”
You know what?If he was around today he’d win “Saudi Arabia’s Got No Talent”
Wellington says
Canon law is for Roman Catholics. Judaic Law for Jews. Etc.
Except that Sharia is for EVERYONE and this only demonstrates again that Islam has “control-freak” written all over it.
And shame again on ALL Muslims. Your religion sucks for sundry reasons and one of them is Sharia being meant for all human beings. Pathetic.
Lory says
Does anyone know what the facebook comment was in which he criticized Mohammed/Islam ? Let’s proliferate it !!!
The Hittite King says
I want to humiliate that scumbag,child rapist called Mohammed. However, I know that if I do this, I will also be beheaded. You’d have to be very brave to do that. But if one day I gain courage like this brother and when I see that I have nothing to lose I will say my thoughts about that dishonorable Muhammad without fear. I congratulate this brother, who has humiliated the infamous creature called Muhammad, and I kiss his hands.
OLD GUY says
Thats the muslim/islam plan for free speech for the world. Under their UN plan the islamic countries will make saying anything against islam or Muhammad against the law world wide. Even a true statement about the questionable child marriage laws under sharia will be illegal to talk about. You can thank Obama and Hillary Clinton for backing that UN decision to make anti islamic speak against the law.
Freedom loving countries standup now or lose your freedom! Islam is coming and it is totally a political/religious dominating ideology with cult type sharia law to control the masses.
jca reid says
Islam & Mohammed insult themselves, so how can anybody insult them any further?
DAS says
Mohammed The Prophet thought of himself above Allah. If Allah did not forbid anything in the Holy Quran, Mohammed wrote a Hadith that forever outlawed something. Ergo, he superseded God and he himself should be charged with blasphemy. Alcohol is not forbidden in the Quran but Mohammed forbade it.
marc says
I think the hadiths were written by others quoting him, but the whole koran seems to have been written by him for his own gain.

Yes, this seems to have been the case.

And then the Canadian emigration minister denied stay for the Nigerian Ogunkoya Family who denounced islam. More over they face deportation order.
underbed cat says
Now he is a guy I would glady see enter the United States…..to save his life. He would be a good advocate for the unmasking of sharia law and the tyrannical group that claims protection as a religion. How long has this been brewing in Nigeria. ? Canada hopefully will cancel this deportation order, but they have open borders for muslims who will eventually turn Canada if they do not come to their senses.

Yes–I hope we offer him asylum here.
