 News -- Edwin Madunagu: Colonel Abubakar Umar
What I have tried to confirm in the preceding paragraphs is two-fold: First, that Colonel Abubakar Umar (rtd) was a radical and progressive army officer; and secondly, that as a Nigerian army officer, he was fiercely loyal to General Babangida and his leadership; and that, personally, he is close to the general.
And fourthly, that Colonel Abubakar Umar was opposed to the entire chain of events: from the annulment, through the disengagement of Babangida, through the ING, to the Abacha coup.
Umar can easily insist that he is speaking for himself, but Fani-Kayode cannot make such a claim.

Umar was a great-grandson of the second Rightly Guided Caliph (a title Shia muslims do not apply to the first three) Umar ibn al-Khattab, whom the Sunnis regard as one of the Prophet's closest and most prominent companions.
Umar would grow up in Medina and live there until the death of his father, after which he was summoned to Damascus by Abd al-Malik and married to his daughter Fatima.

ʿUMAR TĀL (1794/7–1864), known in Fūta as al-Ḥājj ʿUmar ibn Saʿīd ibn ʿUthmān of Gede, was an intellectual and military leader in the central and western Sudanic region.
The principal leader of the state was ʿUmar's oldest son, Aḥmad, commonly called Amadu Sheku, and its principal capital was Segu.
When ʿUmar decided to undertake it he wrote a long apologia to justify his actions, and the dissension produced by the conflict of Muslim against Muslim, and Fulbe against Fulbe, helped produce the revolt of 1863–1864.

 Umar and the Crucifixion (Part 2)
Umar is merely arguing from silence since the text doesn’t say one way or the other whether the person was crucified or not, it neither affirms nor denies it.
Umar thinks that the hadith somehow suggests that the people simply beat the prophet and then stopped, yet one can just as easily assume that their beating culminated with the prophet being crucified.
Umar further assumes that the text of al-Bukhari refers to the prophet cleaning his face with his hands, which somehow provides strong evidence that this cannot refer to Jesus whose hands were nailed and couldn’t therefore wipe blood from his face.

 Movie Review: Umar - Sify.com   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Director Karan Razdan, who is also credited with the script, may be keen to convey a message with UMAR, but ideally he should've stuck to the senior citizens' issue, avoiding juxtaposing the murder mystery angle to the main plot.
The conclusion, therefore, is that UMAR neither makes a strong statement about the plight of the senior citizens, nor does it emerge as a murder mystery that keeps you on the edge.
UMAR revolves around three senior citizens - Iqbal [Kader Khan], Chandrakant [Prem Chopra] and Rajpal [Satish Kaushik] - who live in London with their families.

 Umar ibn al-Khattab
The one among [Muslims] who is "spoken to," if his existence is ascertained, what befalls him is not used as basis for a legal judgment, rather he is obliged to evaluate it with the Qur’an, and if it conforms to it or to the Sunna, he acts upon it, otherwise he leaves it.
One day Abu Musa al-Ash`ari, the governor of Basra at the time, wrote to `Umar complaining that the ordinances, instructions, and letters from the Caliph were undated and therefore gave rise to problems linked to the sequence of their implementation.
As `Umar’s head lay in Ibn `Umar’s lap after his stabbing he said to him: "Lay my cheek on the ground." Then he said: "Woe to me, my mother’s woe to me if my Lord does not grant me mercy!" The next morning al-Miswar woke him for the dawn prayer.

 Shi'i Myths and Legends - Hadhrat Umar Attacked Faatima and Ali
At first Umar (Radhiallaahu Anhu) refused to come out due to his engrossment, but when the Sahabi hurried him and informed him of the importance, Umar (Radhiallaahu Anhu) came outside and the Sahabi informed him of the gathering of the Ansaar.
Umar (R.A) associated with Fatima (R.A.) in a very respectful manner and also mentioned to her that she was more beloved to him than his own children.
The accusations that have been levelled against Umar (R.A) that he broke down the door of Ali (R.A.)’s house and approached Ali (R.A.) and Fatima (R.A.) in a disrespectful manner and due to this Fatima (R.A.) suffered a miscarriage is totally false and a mere fabrication.

 Umar, Teuku Biography | ema_06_package.xml
Born in Meulaboh, Aceh, on the island of Sumatra, Indonesia, Teuku Umar (Teuku Oema) first rose to prominence as a military leader on the western coast of Aceh during the long military struggle against the Netherlands's annexation of the sultanate in 1874.
In 1883 he was lured away from the resistance by Dutch promises of money and weapons as part of a policy to create a coalition of pro-Dutch Acehnese forces but deserted them in 1884.
Although Umar is officially regarded as a hero of the anticolonial resistance, his willingness to collaborate with the Dutch presaged their successful strategy of co-opting uleebalang (war leaders) as allies against more radically anticolonial Muslim leaders.
