Controversial Islamic cleric, Sheikh Ahmad Abubakar Mahmud Gumi, has lambasted the Christian community in Nigeria for allegedly inviting United States President Donald Trump to intervene in Nigeria’s internal crisis.
In a post on his Facebook page on Thursday, Gumi described Trump as a liar, a genocidal supporter, a racist, a supremacist and a colonist who does not have the interest of Nigeria at heart but is only out to expand US interest in the country.
In the post titled “The paradox of some Christian ‘intellectuals'”, Gumi wondered why Nigerian Christian leaders should involve outsiders in internal conflicts which are mostly herders-farmers conflict.
He posited that if Trump carries out his threat of sending US troops into the country, the damage will be disastrous as people of diverse religion will be affected.
“I used to think that because of the disparity between the North and South in Western education, which though is narrowing, the South would be more patriotic with no inferiority complex and slave mentality towards the West,” the Islamic scholar wrote.
“Still, I was bitterly disappointed with some prominent Christians recent reactions to Trump’s threats to our sovereignty.
‘Inter-communal hostilities, herders-farmers conflict, indigenous vs Settlers clashes are all results of poverty, poor education, moral debauchery and poor governance, not religion.
“However inviting a liar, a genocidal supporter, a racist, a supremacist, a colonist to interfere on the side of Christians specifically is unpatriotic, shameful and obnoxious.
“Can’t they see that the fight will take another dimension? Is it their theological construct that makes them so naive and hateful? Unfortunately, the common denominator of these unpatriotic individuals is Islamophobia.
“Nevertheless, most Christians are good Samaritans living peacefully with their Muslim countrymen.May Allah protect us all from the Antichrist (dajjal —the liar). Amin.”
