Chilling interview of Ibraheem El-Zakzaky, leader of the shiites in 1999

ibraheem el-zakzaky leader of the shiites

Recently I stumbled upon a 1999 Tell Magazine where I found this chilling interview with Ibraheem El-Zakzaky leader of Islamic movement popularly called Shiites following the raging controvery triggered off by zamfara state at that time. and decided to share. Excerpts below:

Q.  In spite of your advice that there should be caution about the sharia being implemented in zamfara state, the government there went ahead to launch it. How do you feel about this (now)?

I will say it is a welcome development. My caution has been that one should understand the sharia to be in the last series of forces in the establishment of Islam. sharia is a code of life which makes law on all aspects of human endeavor. It should not be narrowed to a sort of punishment. That sort of law envisages that an environment has already been created which is conducive for the application of the sharia. It means that the environment is already clean and the laws are there to protect the ills from coming back.
