Lagos — The Sultan of Sokoto and President, Nigerian Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs (NSCIA) Alhaji Saad Abubakar has said it is not right to generalise the entire Muslims as terrorists whenever an individual among them does something wrong.
Sultan Abubakar, who spoke in Lagos at a fund raiser for the Najah Joint Muslim Organizations (NAJOMO) mosque at the weekend, said rather than accuse all Muslims of terrorism, the acts of the United States and its agents should as well be examined.
He alleged that violent acts being perpetrated all over the world were being carried out by non-Muslims, including American citizens and agents of the American government. According to him, many Christians and Jews perpetrate terror acts on a daily basis but they are not tagged terrorists by the US and the media.
"Our dear brother, the Baba Addini of Egba Land (Adegbite) was correct when he said Muslims are not terrorists and that Islam is a religion of peace. Let me add here that some people somewhere are known for their lies against Islam and Muslims. Violent acts are perpetrated all over the world by adherents of different faiths and not only Muslims commit them.
Let me say here that it is unfair to Muslims and Islam for the US government to rush, as it used to do, to tag Muslims as terrorists whenever they commit any violent act. It is sad that if an adherent of any other religion commit any terror act the US and the media would not call such a person a terrorist, the US and the media must change this.
"I make bold to say that if we should put all violent acts being perpetrated all over the world by Americans and the ones Muslims commit on a scale, we would surely see that those being committed by the US citizens outweigh those they claim Muslims committed. But as Muslims we should try to change this negative attitude they have towards us. We can change this by showing them the beauty of our religion", he said.

All Muslims are terrorists - Their mothers are dogs and we will bury you all. Stay out of our Christian society - we in American will rule the world and kill all you devils. I say Nuke Iran close all Mosques in the USA and send you Allah the devil wife beating child molester to hell. This will end and we shall send you all to your devil Allah. We as a Christian society will bury you all. Nuke Iran now! ANDI (AMERICANS FOR THE NUCULER DESTRUCTION OF IRAN AND ISLAM). You will meet Allah the evil and we will send you to him. If you think for one minute we will not send you back to the hell you came from we will.
sultan of sokoto is a muslim religious leader respected by some people but is quite unfortunate that he spoke without fundermental of truth.if you recalled your mind backwards in nigeria you will believed with me that all violence and terrorist act in nigeria was started and parpetrated by muslims both home and abroad even claimed many uncountable lives of civilians before defendant can resist.lets start from our home before talking of AMERICANS .i believed many muslims have the same mind of thinking like those of talibans and terrorist group all over the world.i drop them one message ,never them try to kill IGBOS again in north, we will show them peper in eastern.
Who were the first people (and the only ones for that matter) to use weapons of mass distruction (nuclear, biological) as recently as in Faluja (Iraq)? The USA and the Zionist, in alliance with other Kuffar nations are the people killing other Muslims daily and enmass in Iraq, Afganistan and everywhere in the world. An if you think that the suvivors of this brutal actions and their muslim brothers will just forget about this you are day dreaming. Give them whatever name you wish, that is your biz. And as for the sultant i don't care about what he or others like him are saying. These muslim leaders are the ones (because of fear for their positions) that are in alliance with the kuffar in this repugnant adventure of killing muslims. Together their day of rekonning is coming. Allah is watching them.
By Nnana Obi ; The Sultan of Sokoto must be a lunatic or an accomplice to islamic terrorism if he can justify the killing of innocent people by whatever reason.In 1966 his predecessor turned away hundreds of innocent men,women and children who sought refuge in his palace only to be slaughtered by marauding muslims in front of the Sultan's palace.In that pogrom of1966 over 250000 innocent christians, mostly Igbos were massacred in 48 hours.If the killing of innocent people by muslims is justifiable according to the Sultan,therefore islam is an evil and wicked religion. Does Allah need really human sacrifice?
there is little difference between sultan and cows in the north. the sultan is epitome of evil , and evil will come upon the perpetrator of this killing.i know muslims are in the east and the west but evil and satanic muslims from the North. with the exception of COLONEL UMAR WHO SAVES INNOCENT LIVES AT THE ACCIDENT SCENE IN KADUNA.
