Those who call out the likes of Sheikh Dr. Ibrahim Jalo Jalingo are invariably deemed “Islamophobes,” but it is he, along with a multitude of other clerics, Islamic leaders and heads of prominent Islamic institutions, who cites verses of the Qur’an and Hadith to justify his positions. Jalingo “emphasised that the Qur’an, in verses such as Surah At-Tawbah (9:5) and Surah An-Nisa (4:89), explicitly permits the killing of polytheists and apostates.”
Stealth jihadis in the West pretend to be pluralistic and friendly, yet heap their attacks on critics, whom they smear as racist, bigoted “Islamophobes”; meanwhile, their own Sharia supremacist leaders continue committing the human rights abuses that Sharia sanctions. Claiming victimhood is a powerful tool in the cause of Islamic expansion and influence.
“Prominent Nigerian Islamic Cleric Ibrahim Jalo Jalingo Calls For Execution Of Those Who Leave Islam, Believe In More Than One God; Cites Quranic Verses,” Sahara Reporters, April 10, 2025:
Sheikh Dr. Ibrahim Jalo Jalingo, the National Chairman of the Council of Ulama’Jibwis Nigeria, has called for the execution of those who leave Islam for another religion.
In a controversial post on his Facebook page on Thursday, Jalingo reignited a contentious debate on apostasy and religious conversion.
Jalingo, an outspoken cleric within the Islamic community, declared that “whoever changes his religion should be killed,” citing a Hadith attributed to the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH).
The statement was made in response to a criticism from a user identified as Masussuka, who had questioned the authenticity of the Hadith, claiming that it contradicts the Qur’an.
The Hadith in question, “Whoever changes his religion, then kill him,” has been a point of contention among Islamic scholars for centuries, with varying interpretations regarding its relevance and application in modern times.
In his post, Sheikh Jalingo responded by asserting that the Hadith does not contradict the teachings of the Qur’an.
He emphasised that the Qur’an, in verses such as Surah At-Tawbah (9:5) and Surah An-Nisa (4:89), explicitly permits the killing of polytheists and apostates.
According to Jalingo, these verses justify the execution of individuals who abandon Islam and convert to another religion.
“Only an ignorant person like Masussuka would claim that the Hadith ‘Whoever changes his religion, kill him’ contradicts the Qur’an,” Jalingo said.
“In fact, the Qur’an itself not only permits the killing of those who commit apostasy but even allows the killing of all polytheists.”
He further argued that the verse: “There is no compulsion in religion” (La ikraha fi al-deen) has been abrogated by the aforementioned verses, which he believes more clearly dictate the treatment of apostates.
Jalingo also referenced the principle of “naskh,” or abrogation, within Qur’anic revelation to support his stance.
In a final critique of Masussuka, Jalingo dismissed his opponent as a “deeply ignorant and morally depraved individual,” using derogatory language to further discredit the critic’s position….

If insanity is considered at the very least an appropriate reason for “institution jailing” then I would submit that STAYING a Muslim is a form of insanity and thus appropriate for institutional maintenance to protect non Muslims from harm.

Courts like to set them loose on society after they rape and murder…citing mental issues as the reason for the depraved actions. Lock them up and throw away the keys. As you say, “to protect the non-mozlums from harm.”

It’s really awful that someone can’t ‘sheik’ some sense….some moral clarity, some honesty and humanity,…into this rotten scum.
Non–mozlums by the thousands are being slaughtered in Nigeria. Every day, we can read of beheadings, fatal beatings, burning of homes, stealing of land, all committed by the committed mozlums. And in so many other African nations, the same things.
And this ghoul is all fired up for those activities; he’d probably like to have a personal share, if he has not already done so.
May he soon reap as abundantly as he has sown.

Truth re the real Islam coming out now, difficult for adherents to deny the danger of their religion.
PRCS USN (ret) says
They are very adept at denying that.

Islam’s answer seems to always be murder. What idiot in the west believes this is a true religion of LOVE and PEACE. Islam only loves to kill and or get a pice of you through rape. Absolutely disgusting to call Islam a religion.

Wouldn’t it be more productive to capture them and sell them in to slavery? A major problem with Africa has always been Africans.

According to the feature article:
“Jalingo, an outspoken cleric within the Islamic community, declared that “whoever changes his religion should be killed”
What about the ones who were NEVER muslims?
