UK Muslim groups condemn London slaying, urge leaders to act

London (CNN) -- British Muslim groups voiced their horror and condemnation Thursday over the slaying of a soldier in a London street by attackers who said they were acting to avenge Muslim deaths overseas.

But Muslim commentators also suggested there is more that the country's leaders can do to address issues within the Muslim community, particularly among alienated young men.

The suspected attackers in the Woolwich slaying, who are hospitalized under police guard, claimed to be acting for Islam, but it's not yet clear if they were affiliated with any group.

Some Islamic organisations in Lagos State have urged Governor Babatunde Fashola not to sign the Cremation Bill recently passed by the Lagos State House of Assembly.

In a statement on Wednesday, the groups described the bill as “anti-Islam and at variance with Nigerian culture”. They said the Assembly acted against the citizens of the state by passing the bill.

Head of Muslim Rights Concern, Prof. Is-haq Akintola, said the Assembly had shown that it had a “hidden agenda” in passing the bill.

Britain is investigating a possible Nigerian link to attackers suspected of hacking a soldier to death in London while shouting Islamic slogans, two sources with knowledge of the investigation told Reuters on condition of anonymity.

Two suspects have been taken into custody after the attack, which the British government said appeared to be an act of terrorism. Police have not identified the suspects.

The sources, speaking independently, said a Nigerian link was being investigated but gave no further details about the nature of the link.

Rape has become a major crime in our country today. Hardly does a day go by without one hideous report of rape or other abuse of women grabbing the headlines. Of major concern is the rising incident of paedophiles preying on minors. These are men old enough to be parents to their victims. The cases of rape in the country have also ensured that no woman is safe. It can be safely said that the impunity with which these abuses are committed has made the female gender the endangered species of our society. Rape cases have also increased because many offenders often get away with the crime. The police are unwilling to investigate when rape is reported. The social stigma associated with the crime has also prevented the victims from seeking justice.

A father who rigged up a video camera in his kitchen to capture ghosts he thought were haunting his house accidentally caught his girlfriend making love to his teenage son instead.

A pregnant woman

As pregnancy progresses, a lot of issues crop up. In most cases, the expectant mother is able to carry the baby to term without much ado; others are not so lucky, as they may develop complications during the nine-month pregnancy duration.
