uzoexcel: actually there r also more #violent' chapters in the bible...we shouldnt throw stones at others while we llive in glass buildings.




"I tell you that to everyone who has, more shall be given, but from the one who does not have, even what he does have shall be taken away. But these enemies of mine, who did not want me to reign over them, bring them here and slay them in my presence."(Luke 19:26-27)

Great write up!

Please correct me if I am wrong but I understand that a declaration of a holy jihad (Holy War) against the infidels of the world is in the Koran, which is a command to all Muslims and they, Muslims, are assured of a place in heaven.

Q1. Is there anything like a Holy Jihad (Holy War)?
Q2. Who are the targets of this war?
Q3. According to Islamic Teachings, who is an Infidel?

Thank you.

tintingz: False .

Adolf Hitler wiping out the Jews is because the Jews killed the christian god so he(hitler) wanna revenge the god they(the jews) nailed on the cross, he fought a crusade .
its like claiming Fela Anikulapo is a Christian because he was once a choir member.

But that verse has been quoted countless of time, you can get a bible hard copy or soft copy and read for yourself, drawn out something from the whole chapter.......stay bless

For your information, nobody is talking about what the media tells anybody. We all have one way or the other, personally or through someone close to us, experienced the havoc caused through islam. So don't sit her and make comments as if we are in a land far away from all these happenings.

Besides, I studied Islamic Law in the University as an elective. I should be certain of what I say, shouldn't I?

And i'm surprised that you don't think that the perception people have about islam caused by your muslim brothers is a matter to address. You are part of the problem.

Did you really read the OP? You fall among those whom I say have sheer ignorance about the context and the background of Islam, so they spread falsehood. One of the ways is through simply quoting Qur'an out of context. I request you to go back to where you copied and pasted those verses, read the ones before and after them, then come back.

Lastly, there are similar verses in the Bible. Do you know that? Go and read Exodus 20:22. What does it say? Should I then copy and paste it and claim that Christianity condone killing of other faithful? No, unless if I want to misinform others, or engage in fruitless argument.

Thank you.

Nyanya bomb blast suspect, Aminu
Sadiq Ogwuche who was recently
extradited from Sudan, and
currentlyanswering questions from
security operatives has said, he will
never beg for forgiveness because he did
the right thing by bombing
Nyanya motor park which led to the
death of over 70 people and left 120
injured.
Sadiq said if left alone he is willing to do
more. He said a lot of shocking things
which will make you wonder how a man
that once lived in a western world
could turn out to be who he is now. No
be me go use my hand type all his
negative beliefs. Find it as culled
(quotes) from National Daily after the
cut.
“I don’t deny that I am the executioner
of the Nyanya bomb incident. I did it in
order to draw government’s attention to
our demands. We want
our detained colleagues released and
compensation paid to those of our
colleagues who were killed by the
federal troops during operations. We
want Islamic rule in the whole of
northern Nigeria. Western education is a
sin against Allah. It’s time for dialogue
between government and Boko Haram
leaders for the way out of the deadlock,”
he was quoted as saying.
“The government must do something
now or the bombing will continue. There
is no regretting anything because we are
fighting a just cause to liberate our
people from western education and
religion,”
“Federal government has been trying
without success to wipe out Boko
Haram. They killed our leader,
Muhammed Yusuf and hundreds of
others yet we still exist. We are a force
to be recognized. You ignore us at your
own peril. We are particularly pained by
the killing of hundreds of our members
across the forest in northern part of the
country. Although we equally killed
federal troops, we will never forgive the
federal government for the incessant
killings. We are well armed to fight back
and we will never surrender.
Boko Haram is well funded and highly
equipped organization with capacity to
take over the whole country if it so
desires, he ranted.
“If I am left alone, I will still kill those
infidels who have refused to repent of
their sins against Allah. This is my
mission on earth. My mission is to wipe
out infidels from the face of the earth.
You call me bomb detonator, and I love
that. I am ready to kill again. In fact, I
enjoy killing people who are unbelievers;
those deceived by western education and
disobedient to Allah and his holy Koran.

geborenzie: i get your write up in encouraging muslims but muslims are very volatile take a look at boston bombing it was done by Muslims where millions of pple died also take a look at the n klling of two britain officers by two nigerian guys
mariam in sudan that was supposed to be killed because she became a christian if not for international outcry also the ISIS who want to circumcise 4 million children and women in the name of religion and the story of a muslim man in america i dont which part he killed a pregnant woman because he thought she was a prostitute, sure there are nice muslims but the crazy ones have overshadowed the nice and the media might be lieing but the media cannot be lieing all the time so wtf i have right right to look at you once,twice,thrice in case you want to harm may be you should try preaching to your muslims brothers about all these things than preaching to us and also tell them to stop practising honor killing a situation where the victim of rape is being killed thanks

I somewhat agree with you, but those volatile are not the majority, far from being so.

Muslims and Christians and other faithful live peacefully in many other countries and places. Don't just assume Muslims live only in Mosul, where the ISIS nitwits now tell them to convert, pay tax or be killed. What of U.A.E, Oman, Kuwait, Qatar, Turkey, Malaysia, Indonesia, Maldives, Comoros, Senegal, Morocco, etc? Do you hear about any crisis between the majority Muslims and the minority other faithful in these countries I have listed? You see. Even in the places where the conflicts rage, not everywhere it happens so. There's always media exaggeration when it involves Muslims.

I hope you understand me. Thank you.

I don't want to, as I can't, say he's guilty or otherwise. This is completely left to the security operatives in whose hands he's being held and later to the court of law, but this has no bearing with this OP unless and until you want to derail it. Anyway, let me further clarify:

1) The OP tellingly condemns the activities of Boko Haram.

2) He and his cohorts do not represent the Nigerian Muslims, not even to mention the 1.5b Muslims population worldwide

3) The attack killed as many Muslims as non-Muslims, I presume, as the bomb didn't filter the religious, or any, identity of its victims

4) So, what do you want to communicate by the post?

Thanks for your understanding.

That is great. That is also why I love my names. My first name is an Islamic name while my surname is also an Islamic name; whenever and where ever I mention my names, infidels jitter and shiver. My names intimidates foolish and idiotic religious bigots. Church goers and other nonentities turn round to take a look at me while I just smile back mischievously and viciously grin. but true Christ followers are not discriminatory, so they see names as just names and accommodate everyone. My wife is a Christian and we are happy together unlike Pastor and ex-Mrs Chris Okotie.

Mind you, Hitler was subdue by allied forces-Britain and America(your typical christian Nation). Besides Hitler is no longer a threat to world peace, Islamic fanaticism is!
If America were to declare war on any mid-eastern terrorist group Muslim worldwide will tag it Muslim against Christian; Federal Government declared total war against Bokoharam, Sultan and Northern Governors will tag it declaration of war against Muslims.
See now that no one called the terrorist Muslim, Its your fellow Muslim brothers that called them Muslims!
In conclusion, You are actually saying,"Islamic terrorism is not a problem after all Hitler(a supposed Christian) is also a culprit!"
