« is a religion of peace. You don't have the ability to create, and yet you're the one who wants to kill someone because he doesn't follow you in your religion? Why? Are we cursed? The true Muslim, when a mosquito bites him, must not even kill it. He must catch it and cut off one of its wings. That is what is said. », President Ibrahim Traoré
« There are people who tend to make statements aimed at weakening social cohesion. When we adopted the law on religious freedoms, it was us, the Muslims, who were the first to complain. Why don't the others complain? Have we ever asked ourselves that question?
If you want to draw someone into your religion, it is first your behavior that can make that person join you. No one can be forced. Everyone is a creature of God. If you think you are a true believer, you must love God's other creatures. You have given life to no one, you cannot create a man. It is God who created us all. You don't have the ability to create, and yet you're the one who wants to kill someone because he doesn't follow you in your religion? Why? Are we cursed?
Look at . Many people in Europe are Christians; in 2026, today, have you heard of someone killing his brother following a disagreement, or not loving him because of religion?
Go to Saudi Arabia, which is the very cradle of Islam. In that country, have you ever heard of people fighting or wanting to kill each other because the other person is not Muslim?
But why is it us, Black people, who are ready to hate our brothers, to kill them on the pretext that they are "kafirs"? Why?
You are ready to kill them even though you are not capable of giving life. And you know very well that God forbids you to kill. The true Muslim, when a mosquito bites him, must not even kill it. He must catch it and cut off one of its wings. That is what is said.
So, stop this.
Instead of working yourselves up saying that I have come to fight Islam... If that is your Islam, yes, we will fight that. This is not serious!
Islam is a religion of peace, and the extremists need to come to their senses. If you do not come to your senses, the fight is on. »
