Sheikh Gumi: Prophet Mohammed, Muslims Have No Enemy Worse Than Boko Haram
Sheikh Ahmad Gumi
By SaharaReporters, New York
Islamic cleric Sheik Ahmad Abubakar Gumi, whose series of daily Ramadan sermons is gradually drawing to a close, yesterday asserted that members of the Boko Haram sect are the most dangerous enemies of Prophet Mohammed and Muslims in general.
The cleric, who is based in Saudi Arabia, made the statement as he preached yesterday at the Sultan Bello Mosque in Kaduna. He enjoined fellow Islamic clerics to defy any fears and preach against the unjustifiable killings allegedly perpetrated by members of the sect.
One of the clerics at the mosque, who did not want to be named, told a correspondent of SaharaReporters that he was inspired by Mr. Gumi’s courageous message and would follow suit.
Our source credited Sheik Gumi with warning his audience that there were also criminals carrying out criminal acts in the name of Boko Haram and destroying the image of Muslims. In addition, he reportedly alleged that some elements were recruited by Western powers to fight Islam in Nigeria.
Mr. Gumi added that, if members of Boko Haram were truly behind the bombing and killing of innocent people, then they are enemies of Islam and Muslims in Nigeria. He said there were serious developmental challenges affecting Muslims that need to be addressed rather than carrying out arms and killing people.
Our source quoted Sheik Gumi as stating, “If it is true that it is Boko Haram, I repeat, anybody that carries a bomb and kills people is wrong. Our malams [teachers] should not be afraid to talk. The issue that anybody who talks about Boko Haram will be killed should be defied. [Some say] that if you talk about the consequences of Boko Haram, they will kill you and [so] the best is to keep mute. If you keep quiet, they have already killed you since you are silent. Show them the right way of practicing Islam, and [do not] allow a few people to be practicing contrary to the laid down rules as enshrined by Allah.”
Sheik Gumi added, “You who have hid are cheating our faith. You are not helping Islam but destroying our Ummah. We have been oppressed and [members of Boko Haram] have come with weapons and bombs attacking our society. Because of this, I state that Prophet Mohammed and his people have no enemies more dangerous than they. If they want true religion and better society they must drop weapons. This is not the time for carrying weapons.
“It is time for us to address our core challenges of development that threaten our existence. Imagine a Muslim woman who, in the course of having a baby, will open her nakedness before an infidel…and you are here talking about bombs. Food we cannot eat on our own, except rice brought from Thailand. Medicines we get from England.”
The cleric further spoke about the weapons used in the attacks. He asked, “How did a 12-year old boy know how explosive bombs are made or affording it? All the money before us here cannot buy explosive bombs. It is the enemies that are giving them weaponry and they…believe that it was sincerely donated in fighting Allah’s cause. Unknown to them, it is all aimed at destroying Islam.”
Condemning attacks on Christian churches, the cleric asked, “If you attack Church, where people are worshipping, what is the profit and for what purpose? Is it Allah or Prophet that sent you? Is there any Muslim that said you should attack a church? Talk of mosque, they are being used in destroying Islam and may Allah help them to know. Our strength is our unity and the practice of real Islam. And anybody who thinks he will be using force like this, Islam and Ummah have no greater enemy than him.”
The cleric suggested that there are different types of Boko Haram. “There are those using it to destroy Islam, criminals attacking banks in the name of Jihad. There are those using it to attack Muslims in mosques. After attacks you will just see somebody with turban and guns belonging to the West, denting the name of Islam. Because of this we should be careful. There is Boko Haram and some fake ones, pure criminals. The real Boko Haram can be changed with sermon. Our malams should stand up to tell them there is no justification for killings. Don’t be afraid. They are killing Muslims and the infidels we have agreement to live in peace with.”

why is global terrorism, chaos, suicide bombing d list's endless often coming under d guise of islam ? Wether it is true islam or d fake one, i dnt know which is which. But i think it is not right for any one or group to try to force wat they believe on others simply bc they feel their's is d right one, and no man has d right to take another's life in d name of fighting for a "god" who can't fight for himself.

BOKO HARAM AND AL-QAIDA HAVE MADE ISLAM SO UNPOPULAR AND UNATTRACTIVE THAT IT CANNOT WIN A SOUL ANY MORE WITHOUT THE USE OF FORCE. JUST LOOK AT THE SO-CALLED ISLAMIC NATIONS GLOBALLY AND SEE HOW MUCH SUICIDE AND GENOCIDE THEY ARE COMMITTING TRYING TO WIN SOULS WITHOUT SUCCESS. THEY HAVE CHOSEN TO DIE IN VAIN AND SO BE IT UNTIL THEIR NUMBERS DEPLETE CONSIDERABLY, FOR A BETTER WORLD TO EMERGE. IT IS A SHAME.
THE UNFORTUNATE THING IS THAT 80% OF THEM REASON FROM THEIR ANUS IN THE NAME OF FIGHTING FOR NOTHING. THEY HARDLY SIT DOWN TO PONDER WHY 95% OF WORLD VIOLENCE INVOLVES THEM. WHY YOU ALL THE TIME? CAN ANY OF THEM TAKE TIME TO ASK HIMSELF SAME QUESTION?

I agree with you.why should he call some one an infidel? I was beginning to enjoy his message until I saw the word infidel. Well it's up to him.But would he be happy to be called an infidel, simply because he doesn't believe in Christianity? So please! whatever you call your self, dont call people infedel!I actually thought you were matured and knowledgable untill I saw the word infidel. You can use it for your self if it sounds nice

Pls, we shld stop bn sentimental and face realities. D word "Infidel" means, someone who does not believe in a religeon. In other word, he means, muslims and those who do not believe in islam. Had it bn he says muslims and those who do not believe in "any" religeon, then, he culd b crucified.
Take for example, when pastors are preaching, they always refer to non christains as unbelievers which means, to them, as people who do not believe in christ.

This man is a joke. I have nothing but contempt for him. With somebody like this, how are we as a nation suppose to move forward. His hatred for non-muslims will engulf him and eventually consume him.I agreed with him on one point though, there are many faces of Boko haram and he represent one of them. There are some gullible people that will draw a positive from this ranting but the smart ones can read between the lines.

WHY LAST SALVATION? WHAT PURPOSE THAN SHARIA LAW?
Submitted by Pastor Commander Samyoung Onwuzulike (not verified) on August 15, 2012 - 13:13.
Christ Wisdom Last Salvation was made to established the fullness of Christ The Light of Super Nova in the world. it's like building Specialist Hospitals inside the communities. To build Fire Service Stations inside the Communities and all Security Stations to protect the citizens of that nation. It takes Light Eight Minutes to come from heaven, which made it easier for attackers to take the life of people before arrival of Light of Protection.
Christ Wisdom Last Salvation arrested all Partition Wall and Gods with their Soldiers of Righteousness of flesh that blocks the coming of Christ Super Nova Light in the world to save the people. Super Nova Light is end of the government of the day called Israel in our lives. The government of the day operates only twelve hours and when Christ goes to sleep the enemy comes and sowed evil spirit in us. Super Nova Light is 24 Hrs Christ Protection and Love.

Christ Wisdom Last Salvation is arrest of the spirit and mind of people. Before one carried out attack, robbery, terorrism, kidnapping,looting of public money, cheating, killing, all evils he or her must first plan it. The Spiritual head that motivates them for evil action we have arrested with Christ Wisdom Last Salvation. Not with man made weapons or gun but with Supernatural power. We blind their eyes not to see us with their evil thought. The spirit and mind of man plans before the leg and hands take over. This arrest is not made for Islam only but for all livings in the universe. Our Government is Angelic and Women Regime because Christ 1st Salvation of Silver was made for men which made Holy Ghost to be gift of the Father to men. Wisdom Last Salvation of Gold freed Holy Ghost from slavery of men. It made us to be Christ not like Christ because like Christ is not Christ. Like Gold is not Gold.

The use of the word infidel potrays the sheik too as an intolerent person, it is derogatory, undignifying and insulting, if he is refering to christians, he should address them properly as christians, rather than his bestial reference as infidel. When he came from saudi, did he come on a camels back ? is it not an airplane that brought him ? who manufactured the airplane ? the same people he is refering to as infidels. Where is your so called allah that refused to give you wisdom to manufactured these modern implements that he gave to infidels who now use it to control you. Islam is an intollerant religion and a problem to global civilization

War Between Law And Christ Wisdom and Power of Grace. Islam believed in Law The Sharia Law which Gumi stands for it right. Christ Commanders Lead by Pastor Commander Samyoung Onwuzulike believed in Christ Wisdom Last Salvation and Power of Grace. Power of Grace that leads to women freedom and equal rights. Sharia Law forbid women to be head over men. Women to be president of the Nation, head of Islam, Head of Catholic Church and being strong in politics. This is the Battle Field. As far as women are kept as 2nd class Citizen in this world the world will continue to be at war. Gumi is not hatred of you or Islam because Catholic Mission are also involed in denial of women rights. Come 2015 Nigeria will have 1st Woman President. 2016 USA will have 1st Woman President before the change goes to Catholic and Saudi Arabia.

It is a shame that it has taken so long for the Northern leaders to realise the fact that they have made a terrible mistake. But saying that they have made a mistake sanitizes the deed. They have acquiesces in the murder of many Christians, the murder of law enforcement agents and the murder of our leaders. They are the biggest problem of Nigeria.

Just like the meteorologists tellung us about the likely weather for tomorrow, they forecast (with a 99% certainty) a breakup, set up the Ochestra, the "Insruments", and the Conductor. With the prodding stick (advice, support, encouragement, ..., call it what you will) the Conductor starts the music which is timed (2015) with the last notes from "Tora Bora" and "Basra". And the applause . . .!
Which is the next Symphony to be rendered? Could it be titled "The Olympic Circles"? Will it be a sweet symphony? Will it be accommodating to the ear? Will it gladden the "niger-ians" little hearts? But, most of all,..., will the Conductor be paid?
Just thinking.
