A Nigerian man has been sent to a mental institute in Kano state after he declared that he did not believe in God, according to a humanist charity. Mubarak Bala, 29, is said to have been forcibly medicated by his Muslim relatives, despite being given a clean bill of health by a doctor. The International Humanist and Ethical Union say a Lagos-based group has asked a lawyer to take up his case. Kano is a mainly Muslim state and adopted Sharia (Islamic law) in 2000. The IHEU says that when Mr Bala told relatives he did not believe in God, they asked a doctor if he was mentally ill. Despite being told that he was not unwell, Mr Bala's family then went to a second doctor, who declared that his atheism was a side-effect of suffering a personality change, the group says. Mr Bala, a chemical engineering graduate, was forcibly committed to a mental institution, but was able to contact activists using a smuggled phone. IHEU spokesman Bob Churchill said the group was concerned about his ''deteriorating condition'' and called for his ''swift release''. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-africa-28010234 |

This is here by request by the way, I've given up trying to reason with religious people, it's a waste of time. Feel free to all agree that he is clearly mentally ill.

Personally is someone told me there was an invisible man who lived in the sky and was watching them and judging them all the time I'd think they were mentally ill and needed help, but you call it religion and anything goes. It's like this story came from the twilight zone or backwards world or something. |

@ cyberman - 25.06.14 - 04:57pm who says its a man ignorant brainwashed muppet? Probably this... 42.11. The Originator of the heavens and the earth (each with particular features and on ordered principles): He has made for you, from your selves, mates, and from the cattle mates (of their own kind): by this means He multiplies you (and the cattle). There is nothing whatever like Him. He is the All-Hearing, the All-Seeing. |

@ iilmadme - 25.06.14 - 02:48pm how about neither of us are mentally ill? That's a nice sentiment but I think logic and reason cannot be equated with irrationality. |
