Politics / Re: Detained Nigerian Sect Head 'Dead' - Breaking News by 2busy: 2:26pm On Aug 03, 2009

Sect leader 'alive when captured'

The photograph shows Mohammed Yusuf in army custody

The BBC has obtained a photograph which shows that Mohammed Yusuf, the leader of the Boko Haram sect in Nigeria, was alive when captured by the army.

They handed him over to the police. A few hours later, journalists were shown his bullet-ridden body.

The police said he had been fatally wounded while trying to evade capture.

Mr Yusuf's Islamic sect is blamed for days of violent clashes with security forces across northern Nigeria, which killed hundreds of people.

Human Rights Watch in Nigeria have called for an immediate investigation into the killing of Mr Yusuf, 39, which they called "extrajudicial" and "illegal".

On Friday, the army commander of the operation against the Boko Haram group, Col Ben Ahanoto, said he had personally captured Mr Yusuf and handed him over to the chief of police in Maiduguri, the capital of Borno state.

He said Mr Yusuf had a wound in his arm - which is clearly shown in the photograph - which had already been treated.

The police, however, insisted he had been fatally wounded in combat.

Officials said the group were in a deplorable state

The police commissioner of Borno state, Christopher Dega, said Mr Yusuf "was in a hideout, and the forces went there and there was an exchange of fire".

"In the course of that confrontation, he sustained his own injury. He was picked up and he later couldn't make it."

Earlier, police sources had offered a different version of events, saying Mr Yusuf was killed while trying to escape from custody.

Meanwhile, another group of women and children, abducted by the Boko Haram sect, has been rescued from a locked house in Maiduguri.

Officials said the latest group of 140 was in a deplorable condition, suffering from pneumonia, fever and rashes.

Last week, the police rescued about 100 young women and children from a house on the edge of the city. Many said they were the wives of sect members, and had been forced to travel to Maiduguri from Bauchi state.

The BBC reporter in Maiduguri says the Boko Haram sect believed that their families should accompany them to the battlefield.

Hundreds of people were killed in Maiduguri alone during violent clashes between police and the Islamic sect.

Col Ben Ahanotu, head of security in Maiduguri, said that mass burials had begun there.

The Boko Haram compound, he said, was being used as one of the burial sites because bodies were decomposing in the heat.

Life in the affected areas is now beginning to return to normal with banks and markets reopening.

Maiduguri is the capital of Borno state but the fighting spread to cities across the north of the country and the total number of dead is unknown.

A military spokesman said two of those killed were soldiers and 13 were police officers.

The number of injured, meanwhile, is still being counted. The Red Cross had earlier said about 3,500 people fled the fighting.

The violence ended on Thursday with the death of Mr Yusuf.

Photos don’t lie…Sect leader alive after capture – Daily Trust

August 3, 2009 by Bunmi Awolusi

Controversy over the killing of the Boko Haram sect leader took a new dimension yesterday when a photograph emerged showing that Mohammed Yusuf was alive and had no serious injuries when captured by the military.

The army last Thursday captured Yusuf, 39, and handed him over to the police, who a few hours later displayed his dead body and said he died in combat.

The BBC website yesterday posted a photograph which shows that Yusuf was alive when captured by the army.

Human rights groups have called for an immediate investigation into the killing of Yusuf, which they called “extrajudicial” and “illegal.”

On Friday, the army commander of the operation against the Boko Haram group, Col Ben Ahanoto, said he had personally captured Yusuf and handed him over to the Borno State police commissioner.

Islam for Muslims / Re: Islam And My Profession - I Need Help by 2busy: 3:27pm On Jun 23, 2009
Assalamalykum,
my brother, i have heard of an hadith (i cant remember the narrator) that said " what is haram in islam is clear, and what is halal is also clear, but there are some grey matter (things that are not clear) in between, so shun those area"

I think your case falls in this unclear matters, which you are to shun.

My advice,: NEXT TIME YOU FALL INTO THIS KIND OF SITUATION, ALL YOU NEED TO DO IS ISTIKHARA (ALLAH'S COUNSELLING/GUIDEANCE)
(GET CITADEL OF THE BELIEVERS, THE PRAYER IS THERE). OFFER 2 RAKAT NAWAFIL,

AND ALLAH WILL GUIDE YOU RIGHT

His message read" CONGRATULATION! YOUR MOBILE NUMBER HAVE WON N500000 IN THE ON-GOING EASTER PROMO,
ACTIVATING NUMBER (1535).FOR CLAIMS CALL 180 OR 07062268176"

But I think there should be a kind of security on this kind of system, such that when someone used a particular name,
no other person can use the same sender name.
That means 419 can also send sms using banks names like GTbank, PHB FBN etc.

Fellow nairalanders,
Is it possible for someone to use a name that has been used by another person( e.g Remlek)
or organisation (e.g Glo, 0803,) to send bulk sms?
I'll be glad if i can get answer to this question.
This is because a 419 sent an sms to me with O8O3 claiming it's from mtn!
Thank God i was smart enough to realise that O8O3 is different from 0803.
But I still need to know whether it's possible for another 419 to use 0803 or Glo etc?

Islam for Muslims / Manufacturing Fear By: Dr. Aslam Abdullah by 2busy: 4:21pm On Mar 27, 2009
Manufacturing Fear
By: Dr. Aslam Abdullah
IslamiCity* -


If I write a column arguing that Bernard Madoff, a Jew by birth, cheated mostly Christian investors of billions of dollars, you will rightly call me crazy.
If I argue that some Jewish religious organizations that received money from Madoff were thriving on the loot, you will rightly call me insane.
If I whisper that Madoff was a supporter of Israel and his intention was to financially help the Zionist land, you will call me an anti-Semitic.
If I say that Madoff was a family man who was trying to support his family and community that is always the victim of anti-Semites, you will definitely jump to my throat.
If I say that Madoff was reading the Jewish scriptures and using some verses that justify maltreatment of gentiles to launch his ponzy schemes, you will definitely call me a mad man and rightly so.
Similarly, If I argue that the gunman who shot 10 people dead in Alabama was a devout Christian and he killed all those who in his views were not practicing Christians, you would hate me for that.
If I write that he acted on the basis of his readings of the Bible where the Lord had condemned all those who deviate, you would call me ignorant.
If I say that several Biblical passages incite people to act violently you would ridicule me and rightly so.
Now if someone were to say the following:
Omar Hussein, a Muslim by birth, cheated mostly Christian investors of billions of dollars ,
Muslim religious organizations that receive money from Hussein were thriving on the loot ,
Hussein was a supporter of Palestine and his intention was to financially help the Muslim lands ,
Hussein was reading the Muslim scriptures and using some verses that defile gentiles to launch his ponzy schemes ,
The gunman who shot 10 people dead in Kabul was a devout Muslim and he killed all those who in his view were not practicing Muslims ,
He acted on the basis of his reading of the Quran where the Lord had condemned all those who deviate ,
Several Quranic passages incite people to act violently ,
Reading the above most people would tend to nod their head saying that Islam promotes these kinds of acts and Muslims follow the Quran whose teachings are based on such deceptions. This is what many in North America and Europe have done for the last several years. Since, they do not allow any counter argument, and the voices of Muslims are weak in challenging their absurdity and the average people do not care much about these things, they get away without being called crazy, insane, ignorant, lunatic, anti-Muslim or Islamophobic.
You may say that this is a weak argument because those Muslims who are killing innocent people are calling it an Islamic act. So what? If 675 people are killed in the United States every week because we have the freedom to own gun under second amendment, and the killer calls it a constitutional freedom, will we give any credence to their statement?
Will we hold democracy responsible for this?
But when it comes to Islam and Muslims, many of our pundits and experts and analysts indulge in the most insane, bizarre and crazy analysis without being questioned. Instead they are often rewarded for their nonsense.
Their analysis or explanation is just another manifestation of their deep rooted prejudices against Islam regardless of what they say. They have the notion that Islam is a primitive and backward religion because most Muslims in the world today are illiterate or poor. They still have the idea that Islam is a false religion that promotes violence and immorality because that is what they have read in books written by their predecessors hundreds of years ago or said by their pastors, rabbis or religious leaders uninterruptedly for years.
This kind of analysis can only promote hatred and sensationalize an issue. But it would not solve a problem. For almost nine years, we are fighting a war on terrorism which in the view of right wing Christians, Zealot Hindus, and Extremist Zionists is a war on Islamic terrorism. In their analysis the world faces the danger of Islamic terror.
Now look at the reality.
In Europe, according to a European Council report, in the year 2007, 583 failed, foiled and successful terrorist acts took place. Out of that four were attributed to Islamists, 21 to left wing, 1 to right wing, and 532 to separatists. How come we never heard of those terror acts committed by separatists? How come there was little analysis of those acts? How come the Western intellectuals are silent on such terror related incidents?

Doubtlessly, our world faces a serious challenge from those who have used violence as a means to promote their political and even religious agenda. But we cannot simply hold an entire faith and community responsible for that. As long as we will continue to do that, we will never be able to understand the real motives behind such acts of terrorism. Consequently, we will promote hatred and prejudices that will never enable us to face the real problems and work towards establishing a more harmonious society. In the process, many innocent people would be condemned to torture, discrimination and even death.

Islam for Muslims / Thank God It's Friday by 2busy: 10:42am On Mar 27, 2009
Narrated by Abu Hurairah (Radhiallaho anho):
Allah's Messenger (sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam) said,

When it is a Friday, the angels stand at the gate of the mosque and keep on writing the names of the persons coming to the mosque in succession according to their arrivals. The example of the one who enters the mosque in the earliest hour is that of one offering a camel (in sacrifice). The one coming next is like one offering a cow and then a ram and then a chicken and then an egg respectively. When the Imam comes out (for Jumua prayer) they (i.e. angels) fold their papers and listen to the Khutba."
