Every Muslim finds this offensive – Ex-Buhari aide Bashir tells Davido as he faces backlash for promoting video with Islamic prayer [photos]

Former aide to ex president Muhammadu Buhari, Bashir Ahmed alongside other persons have given singer Davido some flak for promoting a song with Islamic aesthetic.

David who had shared a music video belonging to one of his recent signees Logos Olori, seemed unaware of the backlash to follow.

Bashir Ahmed was one of many to state that the video which depicted a Muslim prayer was offensive, disrespectful and hurtful to Muslims.

This is coming on the heels of musicians like Asake and Seyi Vibez popularizing Islamic lingo in their songs and videos.

Bashir wrote:

There are many reasons why every Muslim finds this content absolutely disrespectful, hurtful and offensive @davido. I assume you all know that we Muslims don’t mix our religion with jokes in any way, especially Salah (prayer), which is sacred and the second of the five pillars of Islam. In Salah, Muslims remember our Lord, Allah, express our love and respect for Him and invoke and strive to express our gratitude towards Him. The notion is that the Salah activity brings the individual face-to-face with God. That is what we believe, and that is our faith. Please respect it.
No Muslim will find it as an honor or acceptable.
