But popular Islamic cleric, Ahmad Gumi, says Prophet Muhammad (SAW) did not kill non-Muslims who insulted him during his lifetime. He added that no religious law can be applied in Nigeria since the country is a secular state. “Some Muslims in Nigeria that want to defend Prophet Muhammad should be ashamed of themselves because they are corrupt. If we now begin to kill people, they will say it is even from the leader of our faith, Prophet Muhammad that we have learnt it. A religious upheaval will certainly break whatever remains of the fragile fabric that still holds us together.
