Look at what we've become.
Where religion has taken us
Thursday, well nothing much to talk about my Thursday, aside from the fact that I was feeling one of my beats I was making and the vibe was just hitting the G spot in my brain, haha, before Power Supply company took the light and I wasn't happy about it, like why now that the beat is making sense.
A little confession, I'm one of the people that like to do things halfway and finish them whenever I hear from God, haha, well depending on the project sha, cause I don't like to hurry things up unless I need it in a hurry, if not, I will just take my time and do it when I'm inspired to finish it, I went home and relax hoping to have a wonderful evening before I log in my Facebook and came across a news that happened this morning in my country, very sad news that could be avoided but still, people let it happen.
Before I start writing about it, first I will likely say that I don't do religious discrimination or tribalism, or political views, I don't discriminate against anyone because of what they believe in, but the truth is that most people take religion too seriously and all these things usually happen in the local environment that none rich people live, hardly you will see two rich people fighting over religious or tribalism, they don't have time for that, they just live their life and be happy when enjoying the fruit of their labor, the effect of religion is hitting the Africa continent so hard, especially my country, the way they do things like there's no tomorrow and they don't care about what others feel.
This news I came across is about a young lady that was beaten and set ablaze because they said that she was blasphemy their religion, this happened in the north side of my country (Sotoko state) she was beaten with no pity, some were stoning her while others were using woods to hit her, even after she collapsed, they were still stoning her as if she committed an unforgivable crime like killing people, they didn't stop at the beating, they made sure she's dead by setting her ablaze and the people that carried the barbaric act didn't have any fear at all, they were proud about their actions and taking credits like they just saved the day,
What caused them to beat her and burn her, secondary, I don't know about how the Muslim religion is and what they are being taught at their mosque, but according to the news, someone opened a Whatsapp group for the school and they were to talk about their exams and all, so someone now forwarded a picture that concerns the Muslim prophet, then, she now reply with this, though she spoke in their language and this was the translation.
What she said is wrong but it wasn't supposed to cause her life, they didn't even take mercy on her even if it was against their religion to speak badly about the prophet S.A.W, even if it was written there in the Bible too that a person should be killed for blasphemy, that was in the old testament and the world is changing, why should one die for this, not just any death but very painful death, the family is into mourning just because of what some people believe.
All of these things happened today and Twitter NG was on fire, people were not happy with the news at all, and some Muslims don't have anything about it and some were saying the death was too painful, which means they support her death but not in this manner, believe or not, religion has done more harm than good and it's still going to do more.
Some top Muslims did come out and say that they support the death and this should be as warm to anyone that will try to blasphemy their prophet, I use to think that all these things were caused by the illiteracy rate in the north, but it was what they were taught and they also abide by it, something similar to this happen last year and a young man was sentenced to death by the court for blasphemy the prophet S.A.W
A Muslim lady that knows how to drag politicians and other government people for bad leadership, she was even among those people that were on the front line at the protest that occurred in 2020, when she was asked why she hadn't said anything about the girl that was killed because of religion, she diverted the question and was saying something else, she was dragged and once again, religion couldn't get her to speak that it wasn't right because that was what she was taught too and she believes it, so sad that people have not been arrested yet, if this was to happen in the east, you would have seen soldiers in the street, killing and arresting people.
Reno Omokri said that we shouldn't blame the religion, we should only blame the perpetrators of the crime, which I would have agreed with him but that was what they were thought and how can you blame people that were following what they were taught, the matter has to be approached from the root which is the religion and not the people himself, blaming the people for following what they believe in is like cutting a tree from the top, it will always grow with more branches, but when you cut it for the root, the branches will also be affected.
Once again, to be clear, this writer doesn't support religious discrimination or tribalism, or anything that has to do with hate because of someone's belief. Thanks for yet again, another ride.

I have read already this issue from my other friend. It's really a heartbreaking news. There's no love at all to those who did this kind of death. How can you love your God, if you don't love your neighbor.
