The Nigerian Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs (NSCIA) has expressed concern over the increasing tendency to unfairly profile Muslims in national discussions about insecurity. The council stated that Muslims are facing a “double jeopardy” – simultaneously experiencing violence and being wrongly depicted as instigators. This claim was made on Democracy Day, highlighting the issue within the context of Nigeria’s ongoing security challenges. The NSCIA argues that this negative portrayal exacerbates existing vulnerabilities within the Muslim community. They believe the narrative contributes to discrimination and hinders efforts to address the root causes of insecurity effectively. The council’s statement calls for a more nuanced and accurate representation of Muslims in the national conversation surrounding violence and safety. Further details of the NSCIA’s concerns were published by Vanguard News.
