Recently the governor of the central bank of Nigeria CBN (in year 2011) Sanusi Lamido Sanusi prompted to created the first Islamic bank in Nigeria. And this attempt rose a great debate among Nigerian Christians whose allegedly this attempt of creating islamic bank in Nigeria is Nothing but planning to islamize the Nigerian Christians.
According to them Nigeria is not an Islamic country and creating this bank could destroy the country.
According to them similar to this event occures in year 1999 to 2000 when some governors in some northern states established sharia law in which several people lost their lives.
Establishing islamic banks in Nigeria is not means to islamize The Nigerian Christians, No, the Nigerian constitution gave the right to everyone to do his religion.
And the bible which Christians believe is a divine inspiration of God Almighty; it strickly forbids loan with interest, the same as islamic banks.
Below is a quote from NIV BIBLE:
If you lend money to one of my people among you who is needy, do not be like a moneylender, charge him no interest (Exodus 22:25)
Muslims should complain
We Nigerians Muslims should complain for the following three Christianic custom which forced us to follow:
Weekly sunday holiday is for Christians those used to go churches, and we Nigerian Muslims were force to go holiday on Sunday.
2. Cross is a symbol of christianity and we Nigerian Muslims force to use red cross in hospitals. Infact any islamic country in the world today using red crescent instead of red cross, but why we Nigerian Muslims should used red cross? Its mean Nigeria is Christian's country.
3. Islam prohibits man to enclose woman except his Muharramat (woman that he can't marry because he have relation with her, i.e. His sister, mother e.t.c.) but why in Nigerian collages men and women were mixing in the same classes.
In conclusion, establishing islamic banks in Nigeria is not against the law and if Nigerian Christians protest
Establishment of Islamic bank in Nigeria was planned to islamize the Nigerian Christians; how Nigerians Muslims can response to how christians laws occupied Nigeria?
For example sunday's holiday, red cross in hospitals and mixing of males and females in collages.
