Why men are the ones defending Sharia Law in South West ? Muslim woman speaks

A Muslim woman from the South West has urged women to be more vocal at rejecting the introduction of Sharia Law in Yoruba Land. 

Yoruba youths have expressed displeasure after a pamphlet annoucing the inauguration of Sharia Court in Oyo state went viral. 

While some defended it and stated that it will only be applicable to Muslims, a good number of social media users insisted they do not want Sharia Law in the west. 

A Muslim woman on X pointed out that most of those supporting Sharia Law in the West are men and she said this is because they will not be affected as much as women. 

She wrote: “You see this Shariah law they want to bring in SW? I need women to speak more and reject it! 

“We will bear the brunt of it! 

“This is not a matter of ‘I don’t like putting mouth in religion matter’. 

“See how the one defending it are men? That’s because they won’t feel it like you.” 

She added: “They are men, and they are exempted unless they commit a crime. 

“You on the other hand as a woman, you are already committing a crime by existing. 

“Shouttt and reject it.” 

A number of Muslim men have called her out for her tweets but she stood hee ground, citing the plight of women in Afghanistan as a reason why Sharia Law must be rejected in Yoruba land.
