Anti Zionist Symposium

HOMEHighlight of Sheikh Zakzaky's Speech during Anti Zionist Symposium held in Kaduna on 18th of May 2008

Malam started his brief speech by condoling those present on the occasion of the martyrdom of Sayyida Fatima(AS) who he said is the leader of the women of the universe, as the day of the program has coincided with the anniversary of her martyrdom. He went on to also condole those present on the 60th anniversary of the usurpation of the land, rights and life of our Palestinian brothers and sisters and from whence they have had no peace.
Turning on the papers and comments so far presented, he commended the speakers for a thought provoking presentation but begged to differ from some who kept on referring to Zionists as smart people. He said just because someone is so inhuman that he takes things from people by terrorizing them does not make him smarter than others. “The Zionists are just human beings without humanity. To them the end justify the means, they can do anything to get what they want. They don’t care for example, how many people they kill in their effort to deprive the Palestinians of their self determination. They could also produce drugs or vaccines that could kill children, test them as they did in Kano, and deploy them provided they could get what they want”.

The revered Sheikh reminded the gathering of the enormous persecution meted on the Palestinians while the whole world watches on without anybody doing anything; not even their so called Arab brothers did anything as they are all under the control of their master, US. It took the intervention of late Imam Khomeini (QS) not long after the Islamic revolution for some true resistance to emerge. Malam said the Imam declared that Iran was duty bound to assist the oppressed people of Palestine in line with the instruction of Allah and the saying of the Rasool (SAWA) that whenever a Muslim in difficulty cried for help, any Muslim who heard his cry but refuse to help him is not among the Muslims. This led to the formation of Hezbollah and later Hamas, the two of which have not only become stumbling blocks to the Zionist devilish plans but also to the grand plan of the world arrogance personified by the West with US in leadership.
Sheikh Answering Questions from Newsmen
The sheikh also discountenanced the claim by some commentators that the lack of unity among the so called ‘Muslim leaders’ is to blame for the situation of the Palestinians. He said those under reference are nothing but stooges and ‘Karzais’ of the world arrogance, and they are indeed united in serving their masters. “Once they usurp a country and its resources, they find a ‘karzai’ as they did in Afghanistan or a ‘Ja’afarias they did in Iraq. When Ja’afari refused to serve them well, they removed him and put Maliki. Who knows whether they would soon remove him and find a ‘Shafi’i’ or a ‘Hanafi’ or even a ‘Hambali’?” he elaborated.
The leaders of the Muslims, Malam said are those that identify with their aspirations, and these too are united throughout from Iran to Lebanon to Palestine, Iraq, Africa and anywhere there is a true struggle between truth and falsehood.
Commenting on the noise going on in the international media about Iran, he said all of it has nothing to do with any nuclear weapons. It is just that Iran refuse to be under the influence of any anybody. They are the only truly independent country where the world arrogance has no say at all, and this is very painful to them.
Before concluding his brief speech, he asserted that Palestine can never belong to Israel. “What is not yours can never belong to you no matter how long you forcefully hold on to it, one day it must be librated and returned to its rightful owners”. This he said is Allah’s promise and it shall come to pass. “The purpose of the gathering is to show our solidarity with the Palestinians who are daily experiencing untold hardship and oppression never experienced before in History. It is our prayer that Allah in His infinite mercy would subdue these brutal and callous servants of His with His unmatched power. He is indeed more than able to do this and it is simple to Him, Malam concluded.

Sokoto Crises: members sentenced to eight year imprisonment 28/5/08

Detained members of the Islamic Movement in Nigeria, who were detention for several months, were sentenced to eight-year jail term.
In a Judgment delivered in the early morning of Tuesday the 27th may 2008, by Muha-mmadu Mustapha Balle of the Upper Sharia Court I in Sokoto, Mallam kasimu Umar and 112 members, who have been languishing in prison custody since July last year, are sentenced to eight years imprisonment.
The charges include unlawful assembly while armed with deadly weapons, inciting the public, obstructing public servant from discharging his duties, constituting public nuisance, resisting arrest and insulting or exciting. However people say that these are baseless charges against the peaceful member of Islamic Movement in Sokoto who have been conducting their activities peacefully for over 20 years.

Members of the Islamic Movement in Sokoto were arrested after the killing of one Umar Danmaishiyya by yet to be identified assassins, which many believed to be carried out by Government’s agents for his continuous attack on the government policies in the state.
However, No evidence could be established linking the killing of Danmaishiyya to peaceful members of the Islamic Movement, which made the court to drop murder charges early this year against the members. But, yet for unknown reasons, the Judge, after delay tactics, passed eight year imprisonment against members for charges mentioned above which were not proved beyond reasonable doubt as provided by the law.

The members protest the court judgment and described it as open injustice.
Many are of the view that Alu Wammako, must have influenced the Judge in delivering the Judgements. All along, the Judges were accused of taking side with Government to achieve one thing or the other. People opined that in sentencing the members for eight years, Wammako wants to isolate members from public throughout his tenure.
Members of the Islamic Movement in Sokoto suffered series of persecution since killing of Umar Danmaishiyya, they were subjected to all forms of aggressions by the Sokoto state Government and instigated hoodlums. Morethan 4 members were killed.
This, apart from the destruction of landed properties belonging to Members of the Movement in the state.
