What the hell are you talking about. Hijab, Niqaab and Burkah have nothing to do with Nigeria culture, thanks to Islam, we are now adopting Arabic culture.

Burkah is not arabic.it is afghan way of dress.

Niqaab and Hijab is Islamic and not arabic.

Chador is Iranian.

stop your ignorance.


Traditional women do not wear head tie everyday. There is no niqaab or burkah in Nigerian culute
for Muslims,Islam takes precedence to culture.what you need to understand is to stop mixing Islam with arabic culture.they are two separate things.

Muslims men and women wear traditional dresses compatible with Islam,in the sense of not exposing the body or exposing the minimum limit of the body that should be covered.for women,their hair,hands,and body up to the leg should at least be covered.i have showed you Nigerian Muslim men in traditional dresses.

As for turban, it has nothing to do with nigerian culture. We wear caps and hats for our cultures but not turbans. Thank the spaghetti monster that I am not an Arab slave.

turban is Islamic and not arabian.that is the point.whether you niger-delta people wear cowboy or jewish black hats is not my business.


Furthermore, thanks to your islam, my sisters and aunts can not wear their traditional dress in parts of Nigeria. Northern Nigeria. In their own country! angry angry


that is a lie.the pictures make it clear Muslim women wear traditional dresses.but what you mean is Muslim women cannot wear traditional dresses that set them out half na.ked in public.stop generalizing.

2) Thank you for insulting my culture. Does the blow picture look half naked to you? This is what women wear in my culture;

I have heard of muderers playing the victim but this is just silly? Who is the imperialist between me and you? Who is the victim of oppression here?


Does my culture or atheism stop you from doing your islamic stuff? Who is "haraaming" who here?

Are you not the one that believes that God hates my culture? My culture allows and loves wine. Does your God approve of alcohol? No
Are you not the one that believes that God has forbidden certain food like edible worms?


I dont care what muslims do. I only care when they infringe on my freedom!


Who cares if you want to wash hands before prayers? Dont just oppress me with your laws

When have I told anyone to eat edible worms? Something I havent eaten since I was a child? See how you lie so that we can be on the same level of intolerance? Epic fail. I am not intolerant like you.


Thank you for telling me that my culture defiles people.


Everyone can see who the imperialist is.

So, Jesus followers were muslim too? Jesus talked about Yaweh not Allah.


Funny enough, muhammad's father's name was "Abdallah!" meaning "servant of Allah". Was Muhammad's father a muslim?

when you use the word "jew",it has the culturally and also the religious meaning.

if you mean culturally,then yes,Jesus and Moses (as) were jews.

but if you mean,"jew" religious-wise,then no,their religion was not judaism.the religion of all the messengers and prophets of God Almighty is Islam which is submission and total surrender of oneself to the will of God.

Jesus didn't use 'Allah' when talking about God because he didn't speak Arabic, he spoke Aramaic, I think.
Muhammed's father's name was Abdullah, meaning servant of Allah because the name Allah didn't come about with the advent of Islam. People had been using it to refer to (the highest) God before the Qur'an was revealed.

teachincally,yes the Prophet's (sa) father was a Muslim just as we also refer to Jesus and Musa (as) as Muslims.the Quran states that religion to Allah (swt) is Islam.

Holy Quran 3:19
"Indeed, the religion in the sight of Allah is Islam. And those who were given the Scripture did not differ except after knowledge had come to them - out of jealous animosity between themselves. And whoever disbelieves in the verses of Allah , then indeed, Allah is swift in [taking] account".

Islam was institutionalized with the coming of Prophet Muhammad (sa).previously no messenger or prophet including Jesus and Moses (as) called their teachings or beliefs with a name.the religion of Allah (swt) had to be completed to humanity before the name was "officially declared" upon its completion.

Holy Quran 5:3
"This day I have perfected for you your religion and completed My favor upon you and have approved for you Islam as religion".

the father of the Prophet (sa) and his likes who never followed polytheism/idolatry were referred to as "hanif" (monotheists).this is the same term used in the Quran to refer to Ibrahim (as).

Holy Quran 3:67
"Abraham was neither a Jew nor a Christian, but he was one inclining toward truth, a hanif (monotheist),submitting to Allah(Muslim). And he was not of the polytheists".

Holy Quran 2:135
"They say: "Become Jews or Christians if ye would be guided (to salvation)." Say thou: "Nay! (I would rather) the religion of Abraham the true [Hanifan] and he joined not gods with Allah."

Holy Quran 4:125
"Who can be better in religion than one who submits his whole self to Allah does good and follows the way of Abraham the true in faith [Hanifan] ? For Allah did take Abraham for a friend".

Holy Quran 10:104
"Say: "O ye men! if ye are in doubt as to my religion (behold!) I worship not what ye worship other than Allah But I worship Allah Who will take your souls (at death): I am commanded to be (in the ranks) of the Believers".

But Muhammad's father submitted to Allah and by your general definition, He is a muslim (While being pagan...lmao)


Yaweh is quite different from Allah. Allah has 99 names, none of which relate to how Moses related to God/Yaweh.


You can see why christians ridicule islam? Both Jews and Christians see Jesus and Moses as Jewsih. Your Koran comes about 600 years after Jesus to claim that he is a muslim.

whatever laws you refer to as "jewisih laws" must have being revelations from Allah (swt).thus they only followed what was revealed to them.you're the one regarding them to be "jewish law" but not us and neither does the Quran.

Holy Quran 4:163
"Indeed, We have revealed to you, [O Muhammad], as We revealed to Noah and the prophets after him. And we revealed to Abraham, Ishmael, Isaac, Jacob, the Descendants, Jesus, Job, Jonah, Aaron, and Solomon, and to David We gave the book [of Psalms]".

The Tetragrammaton in the Quran:
https://www.nairaland.com/993524/christians-god-yaweh-he-same#11481891

"Jehovah" is a pressumption from the tetgrammaton or "four letters" (YHWH) by injecting vowels.those four letters are not articulated.also,if you search deep you will know that the tetgrammaton (YHWH) is not a word but an adjective phrase refering/describing the uniqueness to/of the One Almighty God who is Unseen.YHWH refers to "He that is Present" or "Oh He (who is)" in literal arabic and hebrew.the tetragrammaton can also be found in the Holy Quran in several places by the phrase "Qul HoWaHAllahu" which means "Say He is Allahu"!

the prefix,"YA" is an exclamation in semitic languages meaning "Oh".if you add "Ya" to "HoWaH" it becomes "YaHoWaH" (YHWH).

"HoWaH"="He is"!


so YaHoWah="Oh He (who is)".

what hapens is simply injecting vowels into the letters (YHWH) in order to make the letters pronounceable.
