@DefenseNigeria I wanted to say something. But the last piece of humanity/Godliness in me holds me back. Afterall they are still human beings. May their sins be on their heads.
Islam has a problem with freedom, democracy, pork, dogs, music, Christmas, Zoroastrians, Hindus, Jews, Buddhists, Christians, women who do not wear the hijab, people who leave the faith, and even those who draw the Prophet of Islam who, according to widely recognised Islamic sources, was betrothed to Aisha when she was six.
Yet if we say that we have a problem with Islam or choose to criticise it, we are immediately branded “Islamophobes” or “anti-Muslim”. Some even call for jihad or declare critics apostates, while others justify their killing.
If an ideology claims the right to judge, restrict, condemn or even excommunicate everyone else, why should that ideology itself be exempt from criticism?
Why should Islam be treated as a protected taboo? The fact that some Muslims respond to criticism with threats or attempts to silence others should never force us into self-censorship. Instead, it should reinforce the principle that no religion or ideology is above criticism in a free society.

Let's not forget that Zidane, the young man from Southern Kaduna, was arrested by the authorities, and sentenced to death for finding the courage to defend his community against Fulani jihadists.
He's still on death row in Kaduna prison.
Self defence is not a crime. Zidane should be released immediately.
