Imaams who make up the Iskaat Islamic group have vowed that they are afraid of anyone as they react on Tuesday to police bringing Musa Saidy in for questioning.
Police called Imam Saidy in and wanted to charge him for incitement to violence by insulting the nation’s marabouts.
Imam Kabiro Dampha said in a Facebook live video on Iskaat’s official page: “They wanted to put Musa in the cell and there were negotiations and Musa went home. We thought that should not have happened. We are not violent people but we have never been scared of anyone but God. We are an association comprising many youths and no one should push those people to the point of them getting angry.”
Sheikh Hamza said: “The should endeavour not to make people angry. Everyone knows the most dangerous conflict is religious conflict. Especially those who preach the word of God. Their religion is in their heart. Those you call the Sunnis have their religion in their heart and they are killed with it. We want those managing our affairs to be fair. Otherwise you will invite conflict onto yourselves. We are not going to be sacred of anyone.”
