When it comes to religion, one has to be very careful with how he or she handles the religious differences .In most of cases, one can get ex communicated as well as sentenced to death in some serious doctrines, which according to other doctrines, its a small offence that just needed dialogue to solve .
Okey ! In Nigeria, a 22 year old Islamic musician, religious believes is not something to joke with, otherwise, you will join him in his death bed .
The 22 year old Nigerian Musician was charged with Blasphemy against prophet mohammad through his song , which caused demonstrations in the whole city .
The demonstrators were so furious with his songs , which made them torch down the musician's home and later matched outside the Islamic police headquarters , where they ordered police Hisba to take action against the man .
The musician was later arrested , after which the leader of the demonstrators Idris Ibrahim later testified in a Sharia court about the alleged blasphemy by the young musician.
Upon hearing from both sides , the magistrate found him guilty of blasphemy and his punishment was death by hanging . This was to serve as detement to those others who fill they could insult prophet Mohammad.
The last time this court has passed similar sentence was in 2016 , where a man was sentenced to death after blaspheming against Muslim religion, where he had said that a Sheikh was greater than Prophet Mohammad .
The Sharia is a Muslim system which handles civil and criminal matters involving Muslims . Its judgments are subject to challenge in other secular courts in a given country. In case Muslim and non Muslim are involved in a dispute, they have the right to chose which court to use .
