The Al-Thaqalayn Cultural Foundation, a Shiite organization of the faction, described the Islamic Movement led by Sheikh Ibraheem El-Zakzaky in Nigeria (IMN) as a false movement.
The group warned the Islamic Republic of Iran and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to give up using IMN crises to make Nigeria another testing ground for its fight for regional supremacy.
IMN was not synonymous with Shiism and neither is interchangeable.
Sheikh Hamza Muhammad Lawal, secretary-general of the Shiite group of the faction, spoke at a press conference in Kaduna State on Tuesday.
Lawal said that he had already been a member of the NMI between 1981 and 2000, after returning from Qum, in the Islamic Republic of Iran, where he had studied theology.
According to him, "IMN began in the late 1970s as a socio-cultural and politico-religious revival movement inspired and inspired by mainly Sunni activists from Egypt and Pakistan.
"It was an offshoot of the Muslim Student Society (MSS), and its birth coincided with the beginning of the Islamic revolution in Iran, which gave it a living and contemporary example of what it aspired. She was therefore attracted and seduced. to his political message.
"When the leader of the NMI, Sheikh Ibrahim El-Zakzaky, later became Shiite, he faced the dilemma of either abandoning his reviving Sunni movement or risk losing his followers or continuing the movement with all its Sunni content, but Shia face. He chose the last one, and that was his loss.
"Sheikh El-Zakzaky has not been able to complete his process of migration from Sunni militancy to Shiite evangelism. His movement is a curious hybrid and a concoction, a dangerously unstable badtail of incoherent and disorganized hallucinations and fantasies that only exist in their wildest dreams. In fact, when things are jostling and a critical study of IMN is done, it may be much, much closer to Sunni Islam.
"The press should seriously take note of it and start calling IMN by the name it gave itself, IMN. The press is therefore called to appreciate the difference between IMN and Shiism. IMN is not another name for Shiism. Both are neither synonymous nor interchangeable.
However, he appealed to the governor of Kaduna State, Nasir El-Rufa'i, to use his good offices and remove the case against Sheikh El Zakzaky in the Kaduna High Court.
