Sultan of Sokoto, Sa’ad Abubakar III has stated that putting on hijab is a right and not a privilege for Muslims across the nation.
The Sultan spoke in Benin City at the General Assembly and Executive National Council Meeting of the Nigeria Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs (NSCIA).
Abubakar said though Christians were not believed to be terrorists but they committed wicked crimes against humanity.
He, however, hailed the Pope for making a very strong statement defending Islam as a religion of peace.
On the hijab controversy, the Sultan said: “Hijab is our right not a privilege. It is not a favour to us. It is our right.
“And we hold on to the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria that guarantees freedom of worship.
“That is why we don’t disturb anybody who wants to go and worship the way he wants.”
He added: “Nigeria is a multi religious state, not a singular state. And being a multi-religious state, we must allow the various religions to go on but we must not trample on each other’s right, which means I must be allowed to practice my religion the way I believe as ordered me by the Holy Quran and nothing else.
“So when we get this done, the issue of hijab and so many other things affecting Islam, I believe is our right, not a privilege, unless the Constitution is changed.”
On bad elements in Islam, he said: “Those bad people among us, like in other religions, we should pick them out and teach them the tenets of Islam.
“If they refuse to change, that is their own problem. We will meet with the creator on the judgement day.
“In any society, there are many terribly bad people. So many, who are not Muslims but carry out criminal activities with some Muslim organisations in America, France and even in Nigeria.
“Those people doing negative things should be called criminals or terrorists but not Muslims.
“I’ve never heard of Christian terrorists but we have heard of so many Christians or followers of other religions who committed heinous crimes against humanity.
“But they didn’t claim to do it for their religions and we did not hold them against their religions.”

Im a xtian bt 2 b serious with u is issue of hijab is ntin 2 b fightin abt, if u have sch in d north willnt u allow ur pupils/students 2 put it on.even if in d future it might lead 2 som oda issue as z by som ppl our goal is nt dis EARTH bt heavenly places.
Chinedu are you replying this idiot that doesn’t know his right from left?? Hitler a Christian?? Even the devil will laugh at that.
Don’t let them deceive you… The mosque they blow up are very few and you hear things like 13people injured! I bet those Christians that were killed, at the coast of the Mediterranean sea and even in Nigeria will give so much to be injured than killed. The injury sef are never life threatening. They don’t bomb central mosques but kill communities full of Christians and even pagans.If that ain’t wickedness I wonder what is.
They’re excuse for that is those people are not REAL MUSLIMS, all I wish for is that the REAL MUSLIMS would condemn the bad act.
Which crime do we commit?
Elapor,,,the truth is islam….
Hahahahahahaaaaaaa……….see aboki calling me black man!
For those who did not read the article, this is what the Sultan said:
“I’ve never heard of Christian terrorists but we have heard of so many Christians or followers of other religions who committed heinous crimes against humanity.
“But they didn’t claim to do it for their religions and we did not hold them against their religions.”
This headline is criminally misleading. That you would manipulate people in this way is totally irresponsible.
our bible tells us that Jesus is the son of God. You are confused about it because your religion tells you differently. This is the basic difference between the two religions. Don’t think about it because you will never get it. We believe in God the father, the son and the Holy Spirit. Spirituality only true God can open your eyes
Yahya Danono I don’t understand you. The difference between the two religions are in our beliefs. Our bible says that Jesus is the son of God and Virgin Mary his mother. We totally agreed but yours is a messenger accept our difference. These are things you will never understand because Koran never tell you so
All this opportunist called the sultan, they will never see anything wrong with their evil acts but rather wants to compare things that are not comparable.
Which kind of ‘Christians’ is he talking of. Is it the brand called ‘Christians’ or the ones waiting for the coming of kingdom of God. When this man is able to differentiate then i will come back to lecture him. Until then i hold my peace.
Bro let me lecture u small.. There is a brand call ‘Christians or Moslems’ and there is a group who are waiting for the kingdom of God. Therefore until u are able to differentiate u will always altercate with others.

I know but am jst tired of the way their doing things this days and still making it look is their right.all lives matters for God’s sake but I blame politics cus it currupted so many.
God has stated clearly in Qur’an who exactly Jesus is : O people of the scripture do not commit excess in your religion or say about Allah except the truth. The Messiah , Jesus, the son of Mary, was but a Messenger of Allah and His word which He directed to Mary and a soul ( created at a command) from Him so believe in Allah and His messengers, and do not say, ” three” ; Desist it is better for you.in deed Allah is One God. Exalted is He above having a son. To Him belongs whatever is in the heaven and whatever is on the earth. And sufficient is Allah as Disposer of affairs , ( Qur’an 4:171 )
Who are u lecturing mr lecturer?
