Mournful Mood At The Mutallabs by walata44(m): 7:23pm On Dec 27, 2009 |
Mournful mood at the Mutallabs Written by . Sunday, 27 December 2009 00:27 A mournful air of calm pervaded the highbrow Maitama residence of the family of Faruk Abdulmuttalab who is accused of trying to detonate an explosive device aboard an American airliner as it made to land in Detroit. The head of the family, Alhaji Umaru Mutallab, children, grandchildren and in-laws arrived the residence yesterday afternoon from his country home in Funtua, Katsina State, and other locations and immediately began coordinating a common response to the aftermath of the unprecedented challenge to the family name and honour. In between retelling stories of Faruk who, as a student of the British School in Togo was known by the nickname of Pope, answering never-ending phone calls, and attending to summons from the Presidency, the recently retired Chairman of First Bank of Nigeria was also receiving a string of visitors who ranged from a former Nigerian ambassador to the US, a former chairman of an opposition party and officials of local and foreign security services who were there to commiserate or interrogate. The Imam, who led the early evening prayer in the mosque within the family residence, prayed for the easing of the difficult time that the family is passing through. Sunday Trust investigations revealed that Faruk Abdulmutallab in addition to being like other children of the well-to-do who get most, if not all their education abroad, is said to be a bright chap who mostly got A grades in his classes. Those who know him say although he was a religious person, who seem to delight in pursuit of Islamic knowledge, he never struck them as someone who could commit any harm to anyone. http://www.sunday.dailytrust.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=2389:mournful-mood-at-the-mutallabs&catid=41:latest-news&Itemid=26 |

What are they mourning? Did they not pay the private Iman egunje to lead prayer in the private mosque? perhaps they think there is a private heaven ko? |

No amount of prayer will get them out of this. Thanks to them, I now have to be careful telling people where I'm from. especially on planes. Useless family. |

Those who know him say although he was a religious person, who seem to delight in pursuit of Islamic knowledge, he never struck them as someone who could commit any harm to anyone. It seems to me that it is hard for some Muslims to differentiate between extreme religious views from acceptable religious practices. Maybe there is no middle ground. |
