PRESS RELEASE :
MURIC TO CAN : YOU CAN’T FOOL THE US
The Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC) has told the Christian Association of
Nigeria (CAN) that it cannot fool the United States. This followed CAN’s recent
rejection of the delisting of Nigeria by the US as one of the ‘Countries of
Particular Concern’ on the issue of religious freedom.
MURIC’s comment on the development came on Wednesday, 1st
December, 2021 via its director, Professor Ishaq Akintola.
“The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) last week rejected the
delisting of Nigeria by the United States as one of the ‘Countries of
Particular Concern’ on the issue of religious freedom. In short, CAN wanted
Nigeria to remain among countries of particular concern to the US.
“We are astounded by the sadistic logic employed by CAN on this issue.
CAN has simply forgotten what happened to those countries that had been of ‘particular
concern’ to the US. Iraq, Syria, Libya, Afghanistan were countries of ‘particular
concern’ to the US. It is only CAN that does not know what happened to those
countries. Perhaps they are now the El-Dorado and consequently the envy of the
rest of the world. That is what CAN wants for Nigeria.
“If you continue to demarket your country and a
foreign power invades it on account of your false propaganda and crocodile
tears, your country may end up like libya where the killing of its leader without
providing an alternative placed the citizens between Schilla and Charibdis, or
like Afghanistan where many citizens ended up dropping from the skies, or like
Syria where so called activists found themselves between the devil and the deep
blue sea or like Iraq where nobody wants its citizens as they are currently
trapped between Poland and Belarus in freezing weather.
“CAN said it was
at a loss on the data used by the US government to delist Nigeria. This is as
ridiculous as it is absurd. What temerity! So CAN expects the White House to
take orders from a Christian cleric who is living comfortably in Sokoto, just a
few meters from the Sultan’s palace and has never been disturbed there?
Well, if CAN is at
a loss regarding the data used to delist Nigeria, is it also unaware of the
statistics used to enlist the country among ‘Countries of Particular Concern’? Perhaps
a request to access the file marked ‘US Congress Address’ in the computer
system of the Sokoto cleric may throw light on the matter.
“It simply
exposes our neighbour’s propensity for myopic dispensation when it comes to
international politics. How can CAN assume that it is just enough to dispatch
its enfant terrible and undisputed numero uno advocatus diaboli with
a bundle of economies of truth to the US Congress for the latter to dispatch a
thousand tucano fighters to bring down Islamdom in Nigeria? It is very clear
that the US has outsmarted CAN.
“It is the
height of deceit on the part of CAN to claim that ‘the US government did not
contact us’ when they were listing Nigeria among the countries of 'Particular
Concern' on religious freedom. Who took fake news of the killing of Christians
alone to the US Congress? Or is CAN disowning the Sokoto cleric?
“CAN is a clever
juggler. CAN can juggle several bottles at a time without any of them falling
and breaking to pieces. CAN is adept at knocking the heads of the people in North
Central with those of the core North. CAN can make the South East hot for
Northerners while Muslims in the South West are turned outcasts in their own land
pari passu. CAN has mastered the
art of hitting and being the one that cries loud. CAN feels no qualms with
deception. It is just part of proselytization. Whether fair or foul, any means
is applicable.
“Worse still,
any of CAN’s victims that dares to cry after being hit is labelled a terrorist,
a fundamentalist and a member cum receiver of funds from ISIS, ISWAP and Boko
Haram put together. Before anybody can say Jack Robinson, CAN calls on the
security agencies to investigate the crier. Such has been the lot of MURIC in
the hands of the agents of CAN in this country.
“It has been revealed that Boko Haram
killed thirty seven thousand, five hundred (37,500) persons from 2015 to 2018.
Of this figure, thirty two thousand (32,000) were Muslims while five thousand,
five hundred (5,500) were Christians. This means that 85% of those killed were Muslims.
Mosques have been bombed or burned. Imams, Shaykhs and emirs have been abducted
and killed. But CAN still wants to deceive the world by claiming that it is
Christians alone who are being killed in Nigeria.
“Our message to CAN is this, ‘Step up your
diabolical propaganda, full of lies and deceit, as much as you can. Just
remember the words of Abraham Lincoln, ‘You can fool some of the people all of
the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you cannot fool all of
the people all of the time.’
“You can fool
Nigerians. They are gullible. The more they look, the less they see. This is a
nation where abracadabra reigns. Nigerians take acrobatic religiousity for true
piety. They take their hate preachers for their gospellers, their villains for
their heroes, their thieves for their candidates and their heroes for their
tyrants. But the US is a horse of another colour. Can CAN hear this? Your game
is up. You can’t fool the United States.”
