We are constantly told in the West that Islam preaches peace and tolerance. Why so many Muslims seem to misunderstand this fundamental message remains unexplained.
“VIDEO: Muslim Fanatics Harass, Threaten To Stone Osun Priestess, Fellow Worshippers In Ilorin, North Central Nigeria,” Sahara Reporters, July 22, 2023:
Some Muslim clerics in Ilorin, Kwara State capital threatened to stone some Isese traditional worshippers performing rites at a river in Oko Owo area of the state.
The Muslim clerics were captured on camera in a video making the rounds on the internet, threatening to stone the traditional religion practitioners and their priestess.
The video posted on Friday night by a Facebook user, Alfa Aribidesi At-Tawdeeh Islamic Da’wah, and captioned “ANOTHER OSUN WOMEN CAUGHT LIVE @ OKO OLOWO IN ILORIN TODAY!!!”, shows the Muslim clerics disrupt the traditional rite In the video, a Muslim cleric who spoke in Yoruba is heard saying, “We have warned you. You putting on hijab, we also see you. Don’t put the calabash down. You know Ilorin doesn’t belong to you; you understand.”…
But when they did not leave, he charged towards them and threatened to stone them, insisting that their religion was not allowed in Ilorin, saying, “Leave! Leave! Leave now! Can’t you hear me? Leave or I’ll stone you.”
The fanatics could be heard chanting Muslim prayers in Arabic.
Also, a recent viral video that generated controversy revealed how a traditional religion priestess, Yeye Ajesikemi Olokun Omolara Olatunji, was threatened by Muslim fanatics not to hold Isese festival in Ilorin….
Omolara bemoaned the unfortunate situation and disclosed that her life was in danger….
But members of a Muslim group, Majlisu Shabab li Ulamahu Society went to her house to warn her to desist from holding the planned Isese festival.
Later, Mallam Abdulazeez Arowona, the spokesman for the Emir of Ilorin, Ibrahim Kolapo Sulu-Gambari, said that the monarch and the palace were in support of the Islamic group.
Arowona said the monarch had made a public declaration against such events, which he described as ‘idolatry’….

I just checked Wiki right now for a quick reference, and looks like this Isese religion is an indigenous faith of the Yoruba people of SW Nigeria. It’s tragic that we’ll see one more indigenous faith destroyed b’cos the world didn’t have the foresight in the 00s to recognize islam as the criminal ideology that it is and destroy it

Paul Castle says
Yes loathsome and it is easy to see that it is not really a religion but an evil ideology , just plain evil . Have you ever read any of the Koran ? It is quite emphatic about it’s commands and they demonstrate exactly what it is all about .
