Why Some Claim Yorubaland Is Islam’s Final Frontier

Every belief system seems to have its own line it must never cross. Once that boundary is breached, the ideology faces collapse. Some argue that for ancient Israel the sacred boundary was Jerusalem. Today, they say Yorubaland plays that role for Islam. They warn that if Islam extends its authority there through conquest or the imposition of jizya, the religion itself could unravel. These views draw on religious passages that speak of divine intervention against overwhelming foes. The argument concludes that resistance must focus on challenging the spiritual source of the advance—rather than individual believers—so Yorubaland remains protected by its own traditions.
