Muslims Did Not Protect Christians On Christmas Day - CAN by freshness2020: 4:56am On Jan 01, 2015 |
The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) in Kaduna State on Wednesday debunked widely circulated reports that some Muslims protected Christians during Christmas service in Kaduna town. Reverend Sunday Ibrahim, the secretary of the Kaduna State chapter of CAN, made the refutation in a statement he released at a press briefing. Mr. Ibrahim stated that it had nothing against genuine peace advocates, but added that it opposed the spreading of falsehood. The Christian organization declared that there was no single church in Kaduna that faced any attack that warranted protection. It also disclosed that the usual security agents were drafted to secure Christian worshippers on Christmas day. “It has become imperative for us to clarify this falsehood and confusion in local and international media,” said the CAN spokesman. “Many of our members have been calling and asking questions whether a Church was protected from being attacked by Muslims in [the] Sabo area on Christmas day? And we said it is not true, and we don’t want people to create panic and dishing out [an] inciting story,” the statement continued. According to the CAN official, “there was no attempted attack on any Church in Kaduna town on Christmas day that [warranted] some Muslims coming to protect the Church from attackers.” Mr. Ibrahim emphasized that there was “no record of any Church in Sabon Tasha, Barnawa and environs out of the over 400 Churches that was protected by Muslims. Sabon Tasha is a 100 percent Christian-dominated area, and how will Muslims come from Rigasa and Tudun Wada to protect a Church in Sabon Tasha?” He added: “We are not against any peace initiative as we are working with Jama’atu Nasril Islam for peace. However we are not aware of this fabricated story from any Church, security agencies, military, police and the SSS capable of creating confusion. He explained that some Muslims visited a Christian pastor on Christmas day to celebrate Christmas with him, but not to protect a Church as was widely reported. He urged the media to verify their facts before publishing, assuring Christians that no single Church was threatened on Christmas day. http://saharareporters.com/2014/12/31/muslims-did-not-protect-christians-christmas-day%E2%80%94can SAHARAREPORTERS, NEW YORK NEWS 13 Likes |

kk meanwhile CELEBRATING THE NEW YEAR By Dr. Bilal Philips Origins January is named after Janus, the Roman god of doors and gateways. He was commonly depicted in statues, carvings and paintings as a two headed man with one head facing forward and the other head facing backwards. In 46BC Julius Caesar chose January 1 as the first day of the New Year as Janus symbolically represented the door to the New Year . Wild parties and orgies were held on the night before the New Year ’s Day as a re-enactment of the chaos which Roman mythology depicted as preceding the cosmos or the ordered world whose organization was set by the gods. Furthermore, by that time, Janus had become, in practice, the highest god receiving the ritual sacrifices of Roman worshippers before the other gods, including the chief god, Jupiter.[1] Thus, in its essence the celebrations of the New Year on January 1 and New Year’s Eve, the night before, are a part and parcel of pagan religious rituals based on idolatrous beliefs in false gods. Consequently, it is completely Haraam (sinful and forbidden) for Muslims to participate in or adopt any of its related rituals, customs and symbols. If a non-Muslim greets a Muslim, “Happy New Year”, the Muslim is not allowed to respond in a similar manner or say, “Same to you.” Instead, in order not to offend or hurt the feelings of non- Muslim friends or acquaintances, one may say instead, “Happy holiday.” As for celebrating the New Year according to the Islamic calendar which begins with the month of Muharram, this is also not permissible from a number of perspectives. First and foremost, if one does so believing that it is pleasing to Allah to do so, thereby transforming it into an act of worship, it becomes a Bid‘ah or cursed innovation in the religion about which the Prophet (pbuh) said, “Every innovation in religion is misguidance and all misguidance leads to the Hellfire.” If one does so merely as a custom, it is still impermissible as it falls under the prohibition of imitation of pagan customs about which the Prophet (pbuh) said, “Whoever imitates a people becomes one of them.” [1] Pope Gregory 13 who set the modern calendar, the Gregorian calendar, also officially fixed the first day of the year for Christian Europe as January 1 in 1582. 18 Likes 4 Shares |

CAN are liars. Let's not forget CAN is a PDP arm. I was a witness during the fuel subsidy strike in Kaduna and kano when Christians shield Muslims during prayers and vice versa so this is not something new. The sense I make out of this is that PDP as usual are always promoting divide and rule. divide Nigeria along ethnic and religious lines so if Muslim starts protecting Christians its a blow to their agenda hence the can statement. PDP know that to win, Christians have to be against Muslims, north against south but all their effort shall fall to pieces IJN. Nigeria wants change. We want Buhari 60 Likes 5 Shares |
