IslamQA.info: the Radical Wahhabi Websites Behind Deborah’s Murder in Sokoto

Lazy eyes listen

NewsRescue

In our earlier article, we described how the killing of Deborah Emmanuel Yakubu of Shagari college of education Sokoto on May 12th this year, was an an act of organized crime and not an act of individuals.

We go further to implicate the publicly available websites behind this careful indoctrination of the gang of silent killers available for recruitment to judge, condemn and assassinate any labeled “enemy’ by their larger foreign bosses.

The Ideology Brief

It’s called a Takfiri ideology. Many are silently brainwashed into this radical extremist mindset and are sitting explosives that can be activated at any time.

Under the Riyadh initiative, the Saudi government promised to retrieve the dangerous indoctrinating materials and from around the world, but these still remain available, the example of which is IslamQa.info, still available online.

The indoctrination teaches the average member and potential assassin to: Hate, Judge, Condemn and be ready to Kill.

US-Saudi Deal to End the Ideology, Retrieve the Terror Texts

Then US Secretary of State while being grilled by Rep Scott Perry who asked:

“The deal with Saudi Arabia, and ah, I couldn’t get an answer on specifically how we were monitoring their continued support of the exportation of wahhabism, salafism and the terror that goes along with that fundamentalist view of Islam around the globe. Do you know of any metrics that the department is following to support their claim that they are working on that? How are we gauging that? How are we going to determine whether they are following along with that portion of the agreement?”

Tillerson responded to the Senate panel:

“One of the outcomes of the President’s summit in Riyadh was the creation of Center to Counter Extreme Muslim Messaging..”

“We opened a joint office in Riyadh to purify religious books of extremism by producing new books to be taught in Saudi Arabia, distributed worldwide, and all textbooks currently being studied and distributed will be re-collected. Young imams of Mosques will be prepared under the direct control of White House officials.”

This he said is due to the propagation of terror being currently promoted in Wahhabi/Salafi texts the Saudi Kingdom ships worldwide. The center is named the Global Center for Combating Extremist Ideology (GCCEI).

The Material on IslamQA.info

This radical wahhabi/salafist material is in wahhabi textbooks and sites like IslamQa.info, which have gathered works based on late Muhammad ibn Abd al-Wahhab’s careful selections of material that encourages for a controllable extremist mindset.

These materials brainwash the mind with a message that encourages intolerance, hate, judgment on others including fellow Muslims, condemnation and the final killing by self-help.

Let’s give some examples from the website.

IslamQa.info in not very friendly terms, encourages all Muslims not to take Christians and Jews as friends by using distortions of scripture and a selection of the most radial and questionable extremist quotes, while ignoring all counter quotes and narratives from the Quran and life of the prophet (p). Their only Quranic reference is based on a verse that says what is frequently translated: [Quran 5:52] “O ye who believe! take not the Jews and the Christians for friends. They are friends one to another. And whoso among you takes them for friends is indeed one of them. Verily, Allah guides not the unjust people.

However every real Muslim knows the word here is “awliyah” which means “protectors or guardians” and that the verse was given for a particular instance when the prophet upon whom be peace, was at war with members of these groups. Prominent Muslim scholars teach contrary with the simple example that when it is allowed to marry Christians and Jews, then how can hey not be taken as friends.

This is how the wahhabi ideology works. It selects certain material and ignores all else and then twists this material to a chosen goal: hate and death.

 Consider Chapter 60 verses 8-10, with the suggestion that God may bring about love between the Muslims and their enemies. [60:8It may be that Allah will bring about love between you and those of them with whom you are now at enmity; and Allah is All-Powerful; and Allah is Most Forgiving, Merciful.

These verses enjoin Muslims to be kind and generous towards others regardless of their religion, and that war is only permissible against hostile tribes who persecute Muslims on account of religious differences. In any case, remember that rather than creating differences, Islam teaches respect and acceptance of all prophets including Jesus and Moses, thus uniting us under one God. More

Now to further the hate against all non Muslims, the website does not only teach that all Christians and Jews are kufar (unbelievers who conceal the truth), it teaches that any Muslim that does not call all of them kufar is a kafir himself.

This is again based on the erroneous application of a Quranic verse that only speaks to polytheists among these groups, a small now extinct group of Yemeni Jews who used to regard Ezra/Esdras the priest and reviver of Judaism, as a son of God, and less than half of US Christians today who regard Jesus as son of God.

The Jews call ‘Uzair a son of Allah, and the Christians call the Christ a son of Allah. That is a saying from their mouth; (in this) they but imitate what the unbelievers of old used to say. Allah’s curse be on them: how they are deluded away from the Truth! (Qur’an 9:30)

Whereas the Quran itself says that there are “upright Christians and Jews.” These who may be covered by the excuse of ignorance, may not have received or properly understood the message of Islam.

Listen at 10 minutes 38 seconds: Excuse of ignorance before condemning a person as a Kafir – Ustadh Abdulrahman Hassan

‘For people who live in a place where the prophetic knowledge is not available, far from scholars and people of Iman, or has not been explained to in a way he properly understands, he should not be labeled a Kafir…if he engages in idolatry he can be called a “mushrik” but not a Kafir.”

But IslamQA encourages all its indoctrinates to hate and declare every living Christian and Jew a Kufar and call any Muslim who does not declare them as such a kufar too!

After the hate and Kufr condemnation, next comes the killing:

Once the members have been successfully indoctrinated into the hate and judge all including fellow Muslims Takfiri ideology, the next thing wahhabi books and extremist sites like IslamQa teach is to declare apostasy, blasphemy and kill via self-help, under assumption that the authorities will not do the needful.

IslamQA says:

“If the person who defames him is a non-Muslim living under a treaty with the Muslim state, then this is a violation of the treaty and he must be executed, but that should be left to the authorities. If a Muslim hears a Christian or anyone else defaming the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) he has to denounce him in strong terms. It is permissible to insult that person because he is the one who started it. How can we not stand up the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him)? It is also obligatory to report him to the authorities who can carry out the punishment on him.”

Declaring death and telling the Muslim to engage in a battle of insults against the person. No Quran or hadith verse is used to back up this indoctrination.

But the site does not end there. It goes further to push for self help as happened with the murder of Deborah Samuel in Sokoto.

If there is no one who can carry out the hadd punishment of Allaah and stand up for the Messenger (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) then the Muslim has to do whatever he can, so long as that will not lead to further mischief and harm against other people. But if a Muslim hears a kaafir defaming the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) and he keeps quiet and does not respond for fear that this person may then defame him even more, this is mistaken thinking. With regard to the verse (interpretation of the meaning)

then the Muslim has to do whatever he can, so long as that will not lead to further mischief and harm against other people.”

Invariably advising Muslims to engage in self-help whenever they feel the authorities don’t.

Wahhabi ideological clerics in Nigeria have been singing along:

A Wahabeast cleric in Sokoto, Belo Yabo rehashed the same ideology in defense of the recent killing of Deborah.

“A young person in Sokoto insulted Allah’s prophet yesterday. In Sokoto we kill such. We don’t tolerate such idiocy in Sokoto. This is not Kano, which is a commercial center, where someone called the prophet names, including being an adulterer. They have been dragging about it.

“Here we kill. When you touch the prophet we become mad people. No talk of a person being out of his mind. Kill him!

“Anyone who touches the prophet, no punishment. Just kill! Even if the person repents or recants, forgiveness is God’s business. We must kill such. Out of his mind, but buys a device, data, opens social media and insults the prophet? Kill him! Don’t report as a grievance to any authority. Kill him! Even if he is an Islamic teacher, much less a useless rascal.

“Like Shehu Usman Dan Fodio, we are Mujahedeen (holy warriors) and Jihadists.

“No compromise.

“Allah curse whoever touches the prophet. Those of you who displayed your wrath, Allah bless you. Kill and disperse!”

Another example of promotion of wahhabi self-help murders

The results are the killing of Deborah and others like it.

Contrary to IslamQA radical wahhabi teachings, True Islam does not teach such murderousity. Cato writes:

Quran — the most fundamental and only undisputed source of Islam. Most notably, throughout all of its 6,236 verses, it never tells Muslims to silence blasphemy with force. It tells them only to respond with dignity.

This appears in the Quranic verses that addressed the tensions between the earliest Muslims and other communities nearby. “You are sure to hear much that is hurtful from those who were given the Scripture before you and from those who associate others with God,” one such verse tells Muslims, only to add, “If you are steadfast and mindful of God, that is the best course.” [3:186]

Another Quranic verse holds up as model Muslims “those who walk humbly on the earth, and who, when the foolish address them, reply, ‘Peace.’” [25:63] Yet another verse addresses the issue of mockery, telling Muslims that when they hear people who ridicule “God’s revelations,” they should just “not sit with them.” [4:140]

So in contrast to what IslamQA says, to ‘engage in an insult mud fight and take the law into your own hands,” the Quran tells the Muslim to walk away.

Again the prophet SAW according to reports, rather than encourage fighting, walked away when insulted.

A man reviled Abu Bakr in the presence of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). The Prophet remained seated. He looked pleased and smiled. He insulted Abu Bakr twice, but Abu Bakr controlled himself and remained silent. He insulted him for a third time, and Abu Bakr then let his tongue loose and responded back. At that, the Messenger of Allah got up and left. Abu Bakr followed after the Prophet and said: “Messenger of Allah! He insulted me and you just sat there. Then when I responded to some of what he said, you became angry and got up.” The Prophet said:

“There was an angel with you who was responding to his insults on your behalf.” Then the Prophet said: “Abu Bakr, (keep in mind) three things which are always true, one of which is that whenever a person is subjected to an injustice but leaves the matter to Allah, then Allah will come to his aid… .” (Musnad Ahmad)

Reforms by Saudi Government

As explained in our earlier article. This killing is an act of organized crime, perpetrated via these websites and linked back to the sponsors within Saudi Arabia that Crown Prince MBS is slowly eradicating, though obviously not fast enough as the materials and websites are still in action.
