The
Council of Imams and Ulamas, Kaduna State chapter has called on Nigerian
Muslims to boycott American and France products for producing anti- Islam film
and cartoon against Prophet Muhammad (SAW). According to the council, there is no
way Muslims will continue to support countries that publicly show hatred
towards the Prophet.
Addressing newsmen at a press
conference in Kaduna, the chairman of Ulamas in the state, Sheikh Usman
Abubakar Babantuni described the two nations as enemies of Islam and Muslims.
“We are calling on all Muslims in the
world, particularly in Nigeria to boycott all American and France products.
There is no way these people will ridicule our Prophet( SAW), yet we aid them
economically by patronizing their products,” he said.
On the deportation of female pilgrims
from Mecca, Sheikh Babantuni said the Federal Government should urgently
resolve the matter.
“No good government will hold its
arms and watch while its citizens were subjected to such humiliation to the
extent that even the Nigerian Ambassador to Saudi Arabia was denied access to
the affected persons.
“This is very unfortunate and
unacceptable! We strongly condemn it. The Nigerian government should stand up
to its responsibility of protecting the right and reputation of its citizens,”
he added.
