Popular Islamic scholar, Sheikh Ahmad Gumi, on Thursday,warned against allowing President Donald Trump of the United States, US, tointerfere in the issues of Nigeria. Gumi said it’s obnoxious and shameful to allow Trumpinterfere in Nigeria’s issues. He made the remark against the backdrop of Trump threateningmilitary action against Nigeria following the killing of Christians. Trump had threatened to invade Nigeria and wipeout theIslamic terrorists killing Christians. Posting on Facebook, the Islamic scholar wrote: “I used tothink that because of the disparity between the North and South in Westerneducation, which though is narrowing, the South would be more patriotic with noinferiority complex and slave mentality towards the West. “Still, I was bitterly disappointed with some prominentrecent 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, asupremacist, a colonist to interfere on the side of Christians specifically isunpatriotic, shameful and obnoxious. “Can’t they see that the fight will take another dimension? “Is it their theological construct that makes them so naiveand hateful? Unfortunately, the common denominator of these unpatrioticindividuals is Islamophobia. “Nevertheless, most Christians are good Samaritans livingpeacefully with their Muslim countrymen. May Allah protect us all from theAntichrist (dajjal —the liar). Amin.”
