Mavor: Please the moderators should stop posting religious threads on the frontpage.

I take it Seun is a muslim. Cos when I wanted to post this, I got this Nairaland message---> "To avoid being banned, please ensure that your post is not offensive to Islam."[color=#990000][/color] Meanwhile Christian threads face rubbish left, right and centre. Yet no moderation. Either Seun is a muslim or you have sold out on the free speech and liberal ideals that used to be the bedrock of this site. I don't support religious insult, at the same time I detest censorship of speech and ideas. Anyone who comes to Nairaland and sees comments he or she doesn't like should leave and never come back. Period.
...does Seun being a muslim change anything 4rm Nairaland, why do u want the modes to stop moving threads concerning Islam(muslims) to the front page? Must you comment on muslim thread?
If u compare how xtrians derail muslim thread(wt u did nw is an xample) to how muslims derail xtrians threads, you will understand why there is need to place that warning.

And how is it the fault of Muslims that "christian threads face rubbish left, right and centre"? This place is not a jungle. Abide by the rules or ignore it, simple!

This is simple.. Islam preaches peace, teaches peace and is peace itself.
In islamic teachings, there are things you say when a person dies irrespective of who they are (I stand to be corrected), because they've left this world & are in the hereafter, and from teachings, Only God (ALLAH in arabic language) can judge.
So lets put aside this act of extremism and face the fact that she is dead and no living soul knows her faith.

tbaba1234:

I do not think that is the point, he is trying to make. There are certain sections of the muslim population with a dangerous mindset that involves accepting certain things that are totally unacceptable in the religion. They do this in the name of modernism e.t.c.




We don't see you jokers making this same amount of noise when Islamic Terrorists crash planes into buildings and blow up innocent people in the name of Allah. Jeez, Talk about dangerous mindset.

You people really need to get your priorities right.

pmc01: It has come to notice that some so-called 'moderate' Muslims have been condemning a fellow Muslim for writing against celebrating late Goldie Harvey, who has been surrounded with controversy in life and in death, as a national icon. I must say it is very unfortunate for this set of people. This is what I think about them:
'Follow-follow no make me get common sense' na im dey worry many of them. Looking critically at their problem, you'll discover it's inferiority complex that has weakened their morale. They are under self-inflicted pressure to always put up that '21st century' Muslim show. May Allah save us from such disastrous calamity. Amiin.
My advice for them is discover their identity before they get irredeemably lost. If you can't stand firmly for Islam, you will eventually end up miserable. It isn't a curse, it's a known fact; you will just find yourself alone, cold in the wilderness eventually.
The time to embrace your natural identity is now!!!

Look there is no monopoly of understanding of Islam as a religion. Even the renowned islamic scholars argue amongst themselves on topical issues. My question to you, define Islam...
U are saying follow follow? of course no be we muslims dey do follow-follow pass? We do a lot of stuffs that are not in the actual sense Islamic but because majority of other muslims do them, we also do them, errm well, except me and a few others tho. There are more fundamental issues to be brought to the fore and discussed thoroughly other than Goldie or no Goldie... abeg.....

That other religions change with time does not mean Islam must follow suit. Islam is a religion of "all time" so let all who try to "modernise" islam or practice "modernized" islam know that they are only moving away from it.

do not abuse others(religion) so they do not abuse your(religion)............. must someone make a comment about someone who made a comment about goldie? especially when it will most likely bring this kind of mis-interpretation and discussion. I think we should remind/teach/advice ourselves without making reference of objects. It definately will be better for all.

May most High God in his mercy reward us all in good and help us to be better muslims - one who submits totally to Gods will

Simple English comprehension is the problem of many Nigerians. If only our English teachers could solve this problem in primary and secondary schools, Nigeria would be a better place.

The OP is clear enough or so I thought but comments here make me think otherwise.
Re: Stop Being A 21st Century Muslim? by alaoeri: 10:43am On Feb 21, 2013
Few ppl really understand what the op means, he's trying to say ωε are in the 21st century that doesn't mean ωε should practice islam of the 21st century why don't ωε retrace our footsteps back to the time of rosul, that doesn't mean ωε shouldn't relate with the alul kitab but there must be boundary in our dealings with them, the food ωε eat, the cloth ωε wear & our way of life generally everything should be base on the teachings of rosul (swt) may للّهُ assist us & increase us in knowledge.

you are wrong. Muslims talk about it and condemn the act but so many people including you(with reference to your comment above-appologies) though you hear/see but you give attention to what you like only and ignore such condemnations.
