Sheikh Again Defends His Stand On Troops Deployment To Mali

Sheikh Ahmad Gumi
By SaharaReporters, New York

Fiery Nigerian based Islamic cleric and scholar, Sheik Ahmad Mahmud Gumi has again defended his position condemning deployment of troops to Mali claiming that troop deployment by ECOWAS and the French government have several hidden undertones.

Gumi in a new message, supporting a similar message released yetsteday, stated:

  “Brothers and Sisters, fellow Nigerians, No human has the monopoly of sentiments or emotional outburst, therefore whoever abuses me for not understanding me I have forgiven it. I hold no qualms against anybody. My only concern is over the Evil people that kill innocent people for prejudice, malice, religious sentiments and share malevolence.

“In these categories of people are Maj. Nzeogwu & co who assassinated the premier Sardauna the main target of the 1966 coup. Others argue that some Christians also were killed, yes, but they were also killed by Christians too. The common denominator is that all these murderers that kill innocent people are Christians. What I am saying is that among the Christian are evil people that kill people. These evil killers can also be imbedded in our security apparatus. In fact they are more dangerous that the true boko haram who are mainly peasants, poor and untactful. However these are highly trained individuals that can manipulate, strategize, camouflage and coordinate their terror in such a way that they cannot be recognized. They are also the Dimkas and most recently the Azazis and many more still active in service.

“So today if there is any terror attack, depending on the magnitude, the coordination and sophistication in its execution and target selection, you can see the finger print of these agents of evil.
The draconian military occupation of the Muslim northern regions is a clear sign of such a plan. The Mali intervention is also not far from the plan. Why sending troops to Mali when our borders are porous? Spending millions that could benefit educational, heath and agricultural sectors that are starving. Youth unemployment that is declared by an ex-president as very volatile. We negotiated peace between the warring Sudanese factions until they decided to divide in a plebiscite, why not also in Mali? Is it not ‘what is good for the goose is also good for the gander’?.

“Nigerian involvement is Mali against the northern tawarik , is taking sides based on foreign colonial interest, and the hate of Islamists forming a government in the region. The difference between Islamist and Terrorist is that the former are fighters that are seeking independence and the rule of Islamic law through legal and accepted norms. Part of it breaking away from a country which there is anarchy or dictatorship. The army took power in Mali, and a section of the country wanted to break way. They usually bring religion for two reasons, one to mobilize fighters since a mujahid fights fearlessly, and secondly attract the sympathy of other Muslims. While terrorist, kill anybody Muslim or non-Muslim that does not concur to their ideology. Such ‘Islamic terrorism’ is condemned in unequivocal terms in the hadith of the prophet – alaihis Salam- and the Muslim leaders and scholars were the first victims of their evil.

“It is known fact that Christians in Nigeria are anti-Islam in everything even if it is beneficial to all. That explains the clamor against OIC membership at a time when we have representatives in the Vatican. That was where the clamor against Sharia law which has nothing to do with Christians. The Sharia checks crimes effectively yet, the Christians clergy prefer a state of lewdness, robbery, adultery, alcoholism than otherwise if such crimes can only be stopped by Islam. The prefer a harlot than a woman wearing hijab or niqab.

“If therefore, the Christian leadership of Nigeria is plunging us into Mali for this same reason of hatred and prejudice against Islamist, this is the warning they should heed to, because Islam is unconquerable. But if they want peace to reign then we should not take sides but be peace negotiators.
Imagine, Nigerian troops killing touareg in their own country, what moral ground do we have when later they influx into our country and cause havoc? May Allah guide us all and protect us from all evil.”

Comment on Sheikh Al-Ahmad Gumi

Sheikh Ahmad was educated in the English system, but what he doesn't know is that Western educational system originated from Christian monastery in 1600 AD, and it spread and later developed to provide technological advancement for mankind. What everyone understands about Islam religion nowadays it is all about killings in the name of "Allah", lack of human development and only busy staging destructions and lack human progress. People like Ahmad Kumi gained western education only to turn around to breed amber of hates and destruction. If he takes ills now for example, it will be western style hospital that will treats him, and the doctors will use medical equipments developed by Christians. The plane that will fly him is also invented by Christians. I think that a high profile Muslim like him are suffocated with deep-rooted inferiority against the overwhelming christian progress which improves mankind convenience and peace all over the world.

MUST WE ALWAYS RESORT TO ABUSE AND NAME CALLING?

Must some commentators in this forum resort to abuse and name calling? You can express your opinion without abusing the Sheik. After all the Sheik has not abused anybody but alas many people that responded to his comments have resorted to name calling, abusing other religions and even ethnic groups. We simply fail to learn from history.

Arrogance Of Muslims

In pressuming to teach Christians how to worship their God, beware that you are not turning into one of the Pharisees. Luke 11:43 tells us "Woe unto you, Pharisees, for ye love the first seat in the synagogues and salutations in the market-places"

@IRON SHIEK Religious Voyeurism

This is a serious case of religious voyeurism. There has never been a Christian who would venture to tell Mohammedians how to worship their God, never mind going into details of prayer posture. We are more cultured than that. But somehow you seem to think that you know Christianity more than us. If you are so interested, then you need to get yourself baptized and cleansed from man’s original sin, after that you would have to decide which other sacraments you want to attain. But please do not be prescriptive. If there is anything that irritates an educated man, it is a pretender. Have you heard this saying before: Those who think they know it all upset those of us who do. It is sarcasm, but truly apt in this circumstance.

Are we still looking for the

Are we still looking for the leader of bh when this mallam is bold enough to defend terrorism in this manner? Nigeria is not serious about fighting terrorism if we fail to arrest and prosecute this man as the leader of bh.

The unbelieble facts

I find it very difficult to understand what type of people nigerians are especially those who called themselve christians because they don't like the person who will tell the truth about security condition in this politically corrupted country, don't look so foolish, you need to apply the little exprience you aquire to find out the facts, every right minded person living in nigeria is aware of the well orchestrated plans made by the federal govt to wipe out muslims from nigeria, the govt has invented a lot of fictional appellation and makes it appear as muslim names, such names published on media have no basis in islam, and I will like people to understand the fact that Islam can not be obliterated from the world, I am challenging the security personel in nigeria to present the christians arrested for attacking their church, it seems that the christians in don't like peaceful co existance,

oga, reason small

When has falling on ur face to pray turned to the monopoly of Islam? Maybe u need to understand d word 'prosuki'translated as such. U fall flat on the ground same way Yorubas greet their parents.

@'ISLAM IS THE TRUTH' ETC. BY IRON SHEIKH 2

I have nothing against one reverencing GOD in any acceptable way. The closest there is to prostrating to God is done by Catholic priests at their ordination. That, however, is not to say that such is the only way to honour God. 'Iron Sheikh' himself came to this conclusion when he said:"THIS IS EVIDENCE THAT MOST OF THE PROPHETS PRAYED LIKE MUSLIMS-". He said "most" but not "all" the prophets. This means that God still accepted different modes of prayer from those prophets who did not prostrate.
In any case, what muslims do at prayer was practiced by the Meccan pagans long before the advent of Muhammad who rehashed the practice and others and renamed them 'islam' . Islam is the "true religion" only as far as Arabian paganism is concerned.
The words 'prostrate', 'kneel', 'bow' have different meanings. One should not be confused with the other.
Even if we were to accept that prostration is the only acceptable mode, the fact still remains that muslims do not prostrate.

@'(ISLAM IS THE TRUTH(I DARE XTIANS TO READ)' BY IRON SHEIKH 1

I have had cause to address this trash in an earlier post but since islamists keep regurgitating it,I have to do it again. The word 'prostrate' is defined in the dictionary to mean, 1)lying stretched out on the ground with one's face downwards, 2)completely overcome with distress or exhaustion 3)(prostrate oneself) throw oneself flat on the ground in reverence or submission, 4((of distress, exhaustion, or illness) completely overcome someone.
I have seen muhammadans 'pray'. None of them has ever prostrated, going by the dictionary definition of that word. To prostrate is to lie flat face downwards. What they do is to kneel down, stand up and bend then turn their faces left and right. How is that prostration? Their claim is utterly ridiculous. There were many occasions when JESUS stood or knelt down to pray. When he fed the multitudes, he took the fish and the loaves and offered prayer. He could not have prostrated holding those things.

Islam is the truth (I DARE XTIANS TO READ) Pt 3

Ezekiel 11:13 And it came to pass,when I prophesied,that Pelatiah the son of Benaiah died.Then fell I down upon my face,and cried with a loud voice,and said,Ah Lord GOD! wilt thou make a full end of the remnant of
Israel?
Matthew 17:6 And when the disciples heard it, they fell on their face,and were sore afraid.
10. Matthew 26:39 And he (Jesus) went a little farther,and fell on his face,and prayed,saying,O My Father(God),if it be possible,let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will,but as thou wilt.
..Remember the first verse in the Quran; "O you who believe! Bow down, and prostrate yourselves, and worship your Lord and do good that you may be successful"-(HOLY QURAN 22:77).
THIS IS EVIDENCE THAT MOST OF THE PROPHETS PRAYED LIKE MUSLIMS (ISLAM IS THE TRUTH)

Some of the verses showing how Jesus and the prophets prayed in the BIBLE
Jesus places his forehead on the ground just like a person who surrendered ...
1. Genesis 17:3 And Abram fell on his face:and God talked with him, saying,.
Genesis 17:17 Then Abraham fell upon his face, and laughed,and said in his heart,Shall a child be born unto him that is an hundred years old? and shall Sarah, that is ninety years old,bear?
Exodus 34:8 And Moses made haste, and bowed his head toward the earth,and worshipped.
Numbers 16:20-22 And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,Separate yourselves from among this congregation,that I may consume them in a moment.And they fell upon their faces,and said,O God,the God of the spirits of all flesh, shall one man sin,and wilt thou be wroth with all the congregation?

@'AN INSANE FELLOW' BY GRACE

Ever thinking that Gumi or any of his ilk can be rational is a very serious misplacement of trust. They are not. Otherwise, how does any right thinking person impute religion into the French presence in Mali? Those who are rendering assistance to that beleaguered country are there at the behest of the Malian govt which is headed by a muslim. Gumi and his cohorts are angry that the islamists will be stopped from over running Mali and halt their march towards Nigeria which al-Qaeda sees as a country of muhammadans. Gumi & co had no problems when the same France sent in troops to overthrow and arrest Laurent Gbagbo, a Christian and hand over Ivory Coast to a muhammadan. France is very secular and does not care about any religion even when islamic terrorists kill and rape French citizens with impunity. Had it not been for the destabilizing effect that the jihadists presence will cause in the whole region, one would have wanted the muslims to fry in their own sauce.

Vatican city IS a soveriegn nation free of Italy's Influence

The title saus it all. YOU go check your facts!

Gumi is a public enemy.....

Gumi is a public enemy number one.The state security service and military intelligent should go after him.This man knows that he is a devil and the sametime glorifying his acts of terror.The society will be better off without him.

Pseudo sheikh

Sheikh or what so eva you choose to be known, stop hidin under d guise religion to perpetuate ills in human society cos apparently you dont belong here wt your kind of insanity and terrorism in the name of islam. We can no longer define the line btw islam and terrorism as it remains blurred now. Stop exposing ur intellectual bankruptcy and ineptitude to general public.

Christians aren't bombing Mali & northern Nigeria

The fact is that Al-Qaeda now has a foothold in West Africa following Gaddafi's murder. The one-eyed sheik controlling Shekau, Boko Haram and other militants in West Africa isn't a Christian. These Islamists alone are responsible for terrorism. Until we face facts there'll be no solution to this problem.

Religion is the opium of the

Religion is the opium of the society. Matters relating to faith and belief come with emotions and sentiments. it is always, and will always be, difficulty to shake and change people belief. It is human nature based on the fact that man tend to unravel the unknown-life after death.Nay! Man's undoing.
Sheikh Gumi cannot in his warped belief and unimaginative imagination see the difference between religion and terrorism. If a Muslim commits crime to intimidate and create fear that to him is not terrorism, but propagating the will of Mohammed. what a fallacy and self deceit.
If Sheikh Gumi strongly believe that division of Sudan worked positively in Sudan and will perfectly work in Mali why not advocate such in Nigeria. He represents the mind-set and thinking of an average Muslim in Northern Nigeria.
Sovereign National Conference beckons. A stitch in time saves nine.

I great you all, Please as

I great you all, Please as the a senceble patriotics nigerians if we still love our country we come together practices our religions accordingly christianity does not allow killing innocent souls, adultry, alcoholism, and all avel did like wise islam, So we just waisting our time our resources and only decieving ourselfs.

Accuising our leaders, our religions and ourselfs is also an act of evel, we are all created from one source with reason that we should worship him (the creator) alone.

So, i urge all the viewers to think maturually with our sences ask our self of what we are doing, does it go equally with our books we follows, we should please remove centiment from our daily activities.

Regards

Aliyu mai bread

Gumi just like his Boko Harramist followers are sick

Honestly, there's something in Islam as a religion that promotes violence.
Or why is it that, this and that terrorist are Islamist fundamentalist ? The only thing u heard about other religions is mere allegation here and there fro m Muslims.
Gumi will rot from this world to hell. Western Muslims are sensible though.

God in Heaven will take care of Gumi

Gumi, God in heaven will take care of you.

Unfortunately, you will not get near the age of your father before your tragedy manifest for talking against the truth. Christianity is different from the many who claim to follow it as you classify them harlots and drunkards. You know very well how easy it is to put on a long hijab with no underweara inside so that you could raise it up quickly and finish the act of prostitution. Who patronizes prostitutes like your alhajis?

This man must be sick.

This man must be sick. There's lots of customers for psychiatric hospitals today, and this borderman is one of them!.

GUMI: TRULY SON OF YOUR FATHER

GUMI: TRULY SON OF YOUR FATHER!

uhmmmmmmmmmmm truth is

uhmmmmmmmmmmm truth is bitter. we need more of Sheikh Gumi in Nigeria

THIS IS A FREE COUNTRY

The campain has been on to black paint the north as a terrorist haven; to justify reason for occupation of the north by foreign forces as observed in Mali.
All these orchasteretion are hand work of some few. Beleiving other people do not have the rigth to freely practice their faith.
it is only unfortunate that only the clirecs in the north are bold enougth to talk in the media. Only a handful politicians in the like of Obasanjo are able to cricitisize this anti north and islamc phobia ridden administration.
For those that beleived that this will only affect the north and so it should be encourage, please take another reveiw to history as unfolded in other occupeid territories.

An Insane fellow

I use to think the man Gunmmi is an idealistic and untribalistic Nigerian. But with what I have read now, I will rather think there is a measure of insanity in his head. SAHARA REPORTERS may loose its credibility before Nigerians if it continue to give this blood thirsty demon attention. It is a matter of time, everyone who shed innocent blood of Nigerians especially Christians in the North will pay for it. From the blood of Gideon Akaluka to thousand of others. God has started the fire from the house of the enemy itself. WASTE PLACES OF NIGERIA . . . SEE EYE TO EYE, THE LORD IS RESTORING NIGERIA... YOUR GOD REIGNS NIGERIA. THEY THAT MAKE YOU WASTE SHALL BE REMOVED FAR FROM YOU. SHALLOM

Sheikh Gummi and his thinking

The cleric has said it all and had answered himself. Why send troops to Mali when our boarders are porous. Yes it is one of the same reasons why we had to send troops to Mali.
The cleric is treading on a terrain he is not knowledgable about. How old was he when the 1966 massacre he was talking of. He was an under 18 college student then. I want believe he was not up to 10 years old then.

Watch out

Allhamdulillah, all those people that wrote a text of insult to the Humble Sheikh they don't know Nigeria. let me tell you Nigeria is a kind of country need reasonable people likes of Sheikh and others in the Christianity . Islam is a religion that doesn't fight with any other religion that is why means peace we share same neighborhood with any kind of religion, because our religion teaches us respecting and not one sided love every one carry every alone.So we need to be wise enough. May Allah with His Extreme mercy Protect you forgive your shortcomings and whole Muslim Ummah and give us peace in our country and nation at large. AMIN. people of Nigeria think ABOUT IT
