For some days now, I've been engaged in conversations on Facebook over this beloved Deborah Samuel who was brutally killed as she was accused of blasphemy against Prophet Mohammed.
The heart breaking part was the comment session, giving room for a lot of questions to keep popping up in my mind.
I was seeing content that justified the killing and it was looking like a dream to me sincerely.
Really?
Is affirming my belief a blasphemy that warrants nothing but death?
It's way obvious that the concept and belief systems of different religions are on their own blasphemous to one another.
So, why the unnecessary provocations?
Are we all humans in this country?
What Law is governing us in Nigeria?
I know Sharia Law is recognized in Nigeria but, does it apply to every other citizens that is not bound by Islam?
All I know for sure is that Nigeria is not a Sharia state.
Where are these northern religious fanatics from?
Different people from this religious sects are contradicting their statements as some said it's a death well-deserving while others said it is uncalled for.
Why are they contradicting themselves?
I am confused.
Whose report do we believe?
All I know is a set of religious people provoked and reacting because of someone's utterance against their prophet is only a display of insecurity towards their convictions.
If they indeed know the only true God, they will not think they are doing this for him.
Kill- to sniff life out of God's creature. This is devilish.
The God I know is love and love is kind. The God I know is not partial, he loves everyone. He is not easily provoked and thinketh no evil.
Why not correct the lady in love?
I don't think education can solve this problem because that happened in a citadel of learning.
These are just a set of religious fanatics instilling fear to subject people to bondage.
They need a reorientation of minds and serious prayers.
Referring to the laws from Leviticus to justify the fact that the Holy Scripture supports killing anyone who blasphemes is out of it because the author and finisher of faith in the person of Jesus changed the narratives.
From the laws to the prophets to his dispensation, he showed us an excellent way.
The story of the adulterous woman is a perfect example of what Jesus would have done.
He said ‘Woman, where are your accusers? Your sins are forgiven, go and sin no more.
Jesus was later killed because to the religious ones, he was blasphemous with his utterance when he affirmed that he is Christ; the son of God.
But, had they known, they won't have crucified the lord of glory.
To wrap this up, general duke says, a creator doesn't need to be defended by what he created at the expense of destroying his creations. Humanity must wake up from some set of psychological hypnotic rhythms.
Nothing justified this evil act.
At the end of the outcome of this incident, may their testimony be “had they known, they won't have crucified Deborah Samuel”.
Rest on Deborah and forever walk on the street of gold.
What's your opinion and what do you think is the way forward?
