BBC Mob kills man in northern Nigeria over alleged blasphemy 26 Jun 2023

　肉屋がそこらの小僧っこに物乞いされて、これを拒否。口げんかの中で預言者を冒涜するような発言を口走り、それを理由にリンチ大会が発生。警察が介入するも、のち、死亡が確認される。

「A Muslim man in northern Nigeria has been killed by a mob for alleged blasphemy.

Usman Buda, who worked as a butcher at the Sokoto city abattoir, "was mobbed and attacked by some Muslim faithfuls [who] inflicted serious injuries on him", Sokoto state police spokesman Ahmad Rufa'i is quoted as saying by the AFP news agency.

When the police arrived on the scene, "the mob escaped and left the victim unconscious", he added, the Premium Times reports.」

「AFP reports that Mr Buda was killed after an argument over some child beggars who had asked for money. It quotes a witness as saying that he got embroiled in a row after he disapproved of the children. He then made the alleged blasphemous remarks about the Prophet Muhammad.」

　時折ありがちなことですが、まあその、善し悪しだなあというのがまあ、中立的なところだろうか。自由主義的ではないかもしれないが。
