CALLING A SPADE BY ITS NAME

I am greatly disturbed seeing pictures of youths attacking Shi'ite members and their properties yesterday on the occasion of ashura as they conduct their muzahara. While it is true that people are apprehensive but I did not hear that they attacked or attempted to attack anybody. This is reminiscent of how Boko Haram started. I am very uncomfortable with what Kaduna State has done banning the Shi'ites from practicing their beliefs. Even if they are wrong or banned, people can't just attack them because two wrongs don't make it right. With the right strategy and approach, an idea can be made unattractive. We must call a spade by its name. Keeping quite on the face of injustice to one is a huge threat to justice to all. You can't just take the law into your hands, people. Where are we headed?

I call on the authorities to take immediate and urgent action against those that broke the law yesterday. Islamic Clerics must tell their followers the gospel truth that it is not the teachings of Islam to attack and kill people or destroy their properties just because you don't share beliefs with them. This impunity must stop please.
