The religion of those who waged the CRUSADE was NOT Islam. The religious faith of Adolf Hitler was NOT Islam. Those behind the ATOMIC BOMBING of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in Japan were NOT MUSLIMS. Those responsible for, and RUN the first, and current COLD WARS were and are NOT Muslims. The WARMONGERS in ISRAEL, who are responsible for the murder of millions of innocent children, women and men, are NOT Muslims. YET, Islam is said to be a religion of violence by its traducers, many of whom want to acquire MONEY at all cost, regardless of how it is acquired. But doing so is considered HARAM (forbidden) by Islam 

But those who hate to hear or be told the TRUTH may point to Genghis Khan being a Muslim. Genghis Khan, who was said to be a Muslim leader and was adjudged to be the richest person who ever lived, did not live, or rule by the teachings of Islam. He lived and ruled by his own RULES, which included the belief in, and allowed, the LEADERSHIP of women. But Islam is a religion that supports the supremacy of the male over the female (patriarchal), as such does not support or condone what was done by Genghis Khan to enable him to allegedly conquer half the world.

For those of us who are ignorant of the methods he used to wage and win wars against other empires or kingdoms, Genghis Khan used many of his daughters to get married to those rulers, after which the new ‘wives’ would find a convenient way to kill their husbands and some or all the rest of the other wives, and assume the rulership of the area left by their deceased husbands, be them emperors or kings.

Otherwise, all history’s, and present day violences were and are the making of those who were and are not Muslims. The only reason why Islam is associated with violence by its enemies may be the wielding of the sword and spear by its early practitioners. It was done to protect NOT to wage wars against those who did not believe in the religion. A letter forbidding Muslims from fighting and forcing non Muslims into Islam can be found in the vault of the Vatican, carrying the SEAL of the FINAL Prophet of ISLAM, Muhammadu (SAW). The Holy Quran has explicitly stated that “There is no compulsion in religion”, and the Messenger of Allah carried out that instruction to the latter, without adding or removing anything from it.

Besides, the Crusaders also brandished deadly looking swords and spears as did the early Muslims, but theirs is not seen as violence, according to the Western and Christian narrative.

A number of those who are fortunate to see the light and the truth in Islam have adopted it as their religion. Hundreds of thousands all over the world convert to Islam from other faiths, making it the fastest growing religion in the world. But those seeking the temporary pleasure of the present world, shun the truth and not only continue with their own worldliness, but lure others into joining them in the false world, where death, not depth of their pockets, awaits many of the victims.

This accounts for the many deaths or near death of the unsuspecting victims of such people, who go by the generic terms of ‘Yahoo boys’ or ‘scammers’. Some of them, who included so called men of God, hide behind false identities to perpetrate their dastardly acts, including eating the flesh of some of their victims, sometimes leading to the arrest of innocent people.

But for the presence of mind of some Police personnel, some scammers pretending to be Muslims from the Northern part of the country, who lured female victims from outside the country, would have gone away with murder (literally), because that would have been the fate of the unsuspecting victims.

The example of what happened in a state where the serving governor spoke bitterly against ‘political’ enemies is a case to ponder. The state chief executive complained that the criminals, whose victims included traditional rulers, local protesters against  ‘Yahoo boys’, and unwary travellers, were created by his “political opponents” who evilly promised to make the state “ungovernable” for him, when he floored them in the gubernatorial election.

It is the act of Un Islamic people, who perpetrate their evil deeds without the fear of the consequences in the world hear after, where  people’s actions in the present temporary world, will serve and save them from the just punishment of the Creator. And the Creator abhors and forbids unjustness, regardless of one’s show or act of piety on this earth.

One cannot illegally take what does not belong to him, and later turn out to ‘donate’ a portion of it to the people, and expect to be rewarded for his ‘magnanimity’. If you like, donate all the illegally acquired wealth to the poor, or build schools with all the illegally acquired money, the Just God will not only reject the ‘sacrifice’, He will still expect self explanation of how the wealth was acquired in the past temporary world.

The number one citizen in Nigeria, who professes to be a believer of the faith, is NOT known or seen to do anything in favour of Islam. For sure, Islam does not support the injustice that is rampant now, which appears to be the reason why many of the so called rulers today want to call the shots at the Federal and state levels.

Hence the establishment of their own media, both off and online varieties. The space is filled with such media by them so as to get this world’s temporary applause, rather than the next world’s permanent glory. 

The runaway CORRUPTION that is taking place in Nigeria TODAY is definitely NOT TAUGHT or ADVOCATED by ISLAM in the Holy Quran or in any of the AUTHENTIC Hadith of Prophet Muhammadu (SAW). Money worship is taught by the devil (shaitan), and adopted by his students in this world. These, obviously, include the president, and the First Son.

May God never make us to be apologetic about whatever we do in, or for the defence of, His cause. The worship of money should not blind us to the NECESSITY of doing the right thing in this world.
