Why Muslims Should Stay Away From Halloween by islamabad1: 12:52am On Nov 11, 2009
Every year, on the evening of October 31, millions of children across North America paint their faces, dress up in costumes, and go from door to door in order to collect treats. The adults often decorate their houses with ghostly figures, carve scary faces on pumpkins, and put candles in them to create ‘Jack-O-Lanterns.’ Unfortunately, among the millions of North Americans partaking in this custom, many are Muslims. This article will shed some light on the significance and origins of Halloween, and why Muslims should not participate in it.

Islam is a satanic faith that glorifies the shedding of human blood as being heroic. Take it or leave it - there are no muslims in Sri Lanka and Asia. What exist in Sri Lanka are native people who have been converted to islam or christianity. Arabs are the only muslim in the whole world, the rest are converts. Comparing Pakistan, India and China gives us spectacular results. Pakistan where islam is higher is less developed than India where the population of muslim converts is lower. Thus china with less islamic presence is much more better in everything than India and Pakistan where islam is causing destabilization. The whole world accepts that when you are in Rome, do like a roman, smell like a roman, eat like a roman, e.t.c, but the believers of the deity of allah believes that they are better than their hosts. Therefore if the deity of Allah is that beneficial to muslims why don't they stay in their country and avoid seeing events like halloween.

You are a disoriented African who does not even know whether he's a christan or muslim convert from Africa but who fights for equality of superimposed colonial religion in Africa. Islam and Chrisitanity are colonial religions and all blacks in east africa, west africa, central and south africa were converted to these two colonial religions by force. The indigenous black population of North Africa have almost been wiped-out due to Islam justified genocide against blacks (Kafir) by Arabs originaly from Saudi Arabia (Satan Land). All black Africans were born into their traditional way of life but once such so called educated but disoriented black africans have a taste of islam and christianity they feel they are as good as the euro-arab practitioners of these two religions. Of the two colonial religions; Islam is the one that is causing huge destabilization in black Africa and it is safe and fashionable not to analyze or criticize islam in Africa, You do it at your own risk, but anybody can bad-mouth christianity and traditinal religion in Africa and nothing will happen. Black Africans converted to Islam are so disoriented that they believe it is the will of Allah that the Arab muslim should be in charge of the government of West-Africa (Nigeria, Mauritania, Cameroun, Northern Cote d'voir, Senegal, Sudan, Niger, Mali, Burkina Faso, etc). In Nigeria for instance Arabs of various shades i.e. Manga Arabs, Fulani Arabs, Shuwa Arabs etc (mind you there's nothing called Hausa-Fulani, Hausa is 70% pidgin Arabic that is spoken in West Africa while Swahili is pidgin Arabic that is spoken in East Africa)

Strategic posts in ECOWAS, AU, etc are largely held by muslims of various shades. Disoriented converted black christians in Nigeria always welcome any crumbs thrown at them by Muslim from the Arab emirates of Nigeria and West Africa. If you want to go to Al-Jana by express means try to analyze or discuss Islam.

The book: "Who is this Allah" by G.J. Moshay formerly can be bought any where in Nigeria but with the coming of President Yar'Adua it can no longer be sold anywhere. Those who where brave enough to sell it were harrased. But it can be bought online. Just google it out.[/b]

1. I've never seen you hypocrites come out to defend the right of a christian's belief to be respected. You only appear when the muslim is being questioned.

2. Of course dont you see you shoot yourself in the foot? You acknowledge he cant say it to a muslims face . . . perhaps because muslims (who are a people of peace by the way) would simply kill him?

this is from the same david who said 'all is fair in war?" david, do you have any ijebu relative who is a muslim? the dude you are criticising his statement is saying that he has a family who is a muslim or his people who are muslims. good arguments are always lost on the people who are not objective.

@Poster,

So what is your headache about islam?

My headache is converted muslims anywhere in the world who feel they are more islamic than the Arabs and, these converts believe that atrocities against black people is the will of allah; that you must seek Al-Jana first and ignore the worldly suffering of your fellow blacks at the hands of islamic Arabs for the past 1,500 years.

In Nigeria, the Arabs anchored their destruction of the black race in the arab emirates created in West and Central Africa e.g. Arab emirates of Kano, Katsina (where the full blooded Arab president Yar'Adua of Nigeria comes from) within the last 200 years in order to cause destabilization, destruction and arrested development of the indigenous zones in these areas. Check out - The Guardian Newspaper, Wed. Nov 11 2009 page 46 - Rivers State Bemoans Power Policy, The rivers state deputy governor, Tele Ikru on Monday in Port Harcourt, lamented that the bureaucracy of federal establishments (whose officers and politicians are largely from the arab emirates) was making it difficult for the state to benefit from her substantial investment in the power sector, the federal laws had continued to hamper efforts of states like Rivers to generate (electric) power for their citizenry,

The ongoing sudan tragedy is an extension of the biafran tragedy of 1966 to 1970 which is also the islamic emirates of the north against the non-islamic areas.

We won't leave Islam and Christianity alone in black Africa because they have been RUINING our lives and culture for the past 1,500 years of Islam and 500 years of Christianity. Arab muslims are controlling a large chunk of Africa namely the whole of North Africa, a substantial section of West Africa, Central and East Africa. The Arab way of life (Islam) has ruined forever the way of life of Africans. One can even give some credit to Christianity in black Africa. Allah, originally a moon deity and one the 360 deities of pre-mohammedan Arabia* is now regarded to be the most perfect deity and therefore the believer of the deity also regard themselves as perfect. And the believers of Allah reserve the right to giveth or taketh the life of any human being. How can one get something from nothing when the peninsula of Saudi Arabia is an arid, hot desert land that has been cursed (halakah) be the source of a perfect religion? Is this not falsehood?. Anyway the victor rewrite history. Judaism that is older than Islam never claims perfection, and the African traditional religions of the tropical, paradisaical, lush environment never lay claim to a perfect deity or religion. But perfect means positive, so why are the followers of Islam keep on defending Allah through violence and not let Allah defend himself. Any genuine African deity defend itself, himself or herself. Nobody will fight for Amadioha, Shango (Deities of Thunder), etc.

YOU ARE FREE to go and desecrate any traditional shrine in Nigeria as thousands of Imams have been doing in order to get a quick return ticket to Al-Jana for your PHD in Islamic knowledge.

*(Saudi Arabia means the land of Arabia that was taken over violently about 130 years by the relatively unknown Saud family)

can we knock it off already?  do some muslim extremist kill to get into "heaven"? yes.  have some christian extremest killed to get into heaven?  yes.  if you dont like islam so be it, no one says you have to.  same goes for ever other religion on the planet christianity, harri krishna, wicca, judism, buddism, sihks, hopi, whatever.  the sooner we all stop trying to force our personal beliefs on another person or using our personal religion as an excuse to torture or kill someone else for thier beliefs the better off we will be.  almost every major war has been fought over religion in one form or another.  cant we learn from the past and move forward as ADULTS or are we doomed to be surronded by infants who are incapable of playing nice with others?

Nawa ohh, when Adolf Hitler killed all those jews, no one said anything about christians being murderers, when Charles Taylor did his own too, they didnt say anything abt Christians. When Muslims do their own the whole world would shout muslims, Abeg what watch you comment oon other religions
Re: Why Muslims Should Stay Away From Halloween by islamabad1: 8:43am On Dec 02, 2009
Charles Taylor is not a christian and is not fighting for christianity against islam, get it right, he was against the American government (which by contemporary islamic belief is anti-islam) its on record that Charles Taylor is the only one in the whole of West Africa that resisted manipulation from the Arab emirate of Nigeria namely Alh. Ibrahim Babaginda, Alh. Sani Abacha, Alhaji Ajhaji Alhaji (Triple A, the longest serving administrator in the whole of west africa), Alh. Shehu Shagari, Alh. Muhamadu Buhari, Alh. Muhammed Marwa, etc, These individuals and more than 100 emirs from Nigeria and Niger Republic agreed that Babaginda and Abacha should intervene in the internal affairs of Liberia in order to safe guard their heavy investments in diamonds mining and petroleum refinery in Liberia. For your information, do you know that Charles Taylor was finally handed over for prosecution in the Arab emirate of Bornu, think deeply about that because it is very symbolic.

Adolf Hitler was not a christian and was even pro-islam because Anwar Sadat (the former Egyptian president) was backing and supporting Adolf Hitler's Africa Korps Army led Erwin Rommel in North Africa against the British Army (which included Nigerians and other black people). In other words Shaitan will always support Shaitan.

I still insist that no black man is born a christian or muslim because we are originally born as traditionalist, we live traditional life, we have traditional wears, reside on traditional land, eat our traditional food, have our traditional rivers that are given traditional names, traditional hairs that is superior in texture to Arab hairs, the type hair of your head determines how to use your brain, is it for the destruction of mankind on behalf of the deity Allah, their African traditional concept will not allow the destruction of mankind on behalf of any deity.

Allah needs blood 24/7!!!!

My identity is revealed: islam_is_bad and is still is responsible for the destruction of Africa. Inability of Nigeria to become a country of substance is because of the powerful presence of Arab emirate in Nigeria.

Salman Rushdie's identity was known and the perfect follower of the most perfect deity in the world, Allah decided to attempted to and still are attempting to execute him for writing a book titled "The Satanic Verses"

@OP

the only cure for ignorance is knowledge,  (no offence meant)

before you criticize a faith at least know the fundamentals of it so that you may be just,

The final admonition of the Prophet is a very touching one. It is an admonition all Muslims must live by. and the critics of the faith examined closely with objectivity.

The excerpt below is an embodiment of what Islam represent as spoken by the Messenger of Islam Muhammed|_
go figure,

[b]
The Final Sermon:
After praising, and thanking God, the Prophet, may God send His praises upon him said:

“O People, lend me an attentive ear, for I know not whether after this year, I shall ever be amongst you again. Therefore, listen to what I am saying to you very carefully and take these words to those who could not be present here today.

O People, just as you regard this month, this day, this city as Sacred, so regard the life and property of every Muslim as a sacred trust. Return the goods entrusted to you to their rightful owners. Hurt no one so that no one may hurt you. Remember that you will indeed meet your Lord, and that He will indeed reckon your deeds. God has forbidden you to take usury (interest), therefore all interest obligation shall henceforth be waived. Your capital, however, is yours to keep. You will neither inflict nor suffer any inequity. God has Judged that there shall be no interest, and that all the interest due to Abbas ibn Abd’al MuttaMutuall henceforth be waived,

Beware of Satan, for the safety of your religion. He has lost all hope that he will ever be able to lead you astray in big things, so beware of following him in small things.

O People, it is true that you have certain rights with regard to your women, but they also have rights over you. Remember that you have taken them as your wives only under a trust from God and with His permission. If they abide by your right then to them belongs the right to be fed and clothed in kindness. Do treat your women well and be kind to them for they are your partners and committed helpers. And it is your right that they do not make friends with any one of whom you do not approve, as well as never to be unchaste.

O People, listen to me in earnest, worship God, perform your five daily prayers, fast during the month of Ramadan, and offer Zakat. Perform Hajj if you have the means.

All mankind is from Adam and Eve. An Arab has no superiority over a non-Arab, nor does a non-Arab have any superiority over an Arab; white has no superiority over black, nor does a black have any superiority over white; [none have superiority over another] except by piety and good action. Learn that every Muslim is a brother to every Muslim and that the Muslims constitute one brotherhood. Nothing shall be legitimate to a Muslim which belongs to a fellow Muslim unless it was given freely and willingly. Do not, therefore, do injustice to yourselves.

Remember, one day you will appear before God and answer for your deeds. So beware, do not stray from the path of rightrighteousnessr I am gone.

O People, no prophet or apostle will come after me, and no new faith will be born. Reason well, therefore, O people, and understand words which I convey to you. I leave behind me two things, the Quran and my example, the Sunnah, and if you follow these you will never go astray.

All those who listen to me shall pass on my words to others and those to others again; and it may be that the last ones understand my words better than those who listen to me directly. Be my witness, O God, that I have conveyed your message to your people.”

Thus the beloved Prophet completed his Final Sermon, and upon it, near the summit of Arafat, the revelation came down:

“…This day have I perfected your religion for you, completed My Grace upon you, and have chosen Islam for you as your religion…” (Quran 5:3) [/b]


To the Muslims,   Let's examine ourselves: To what extent are we following this inimitable message?
To the truthers, seekers of truth and the critics,  what part of this message is unjust, universally unacceptable, evil or wicked
Re: Why Muslims Should Stay Away From Halloween by islamabad1: 1:50pm On Feb 10, 2010
IMMORAL SONG v TOLERATED LEPPERS
The Lagos State House of Assembly has used it resources to pass a law against a immoral song by Janet , The same assembly is powerless to pass a law against leppers, tuberculosis-ridden islamized hausa beggars, polio-ridden hausa beggars because the Lagos State Government does not want to affect the interest of the Arab Emirate of the northern Nigeria who are responsible for organised distribution of this diseased-ridden beggars .

The Yoruba cultures specify that beggars 'Adete' must be confined into isolated places especially the jungle.

Deformed and monster-looking hausa beggars must not be sighted by pregnant women (Yoruba culture) but Islamised administrators, Islamised governors of Lagos State; Mohammed Marwa, Tinubu, Fashola, etc are always sympathetic to unchecked influx of diseased-ridden Hausa people*

Why must Lagos State Government starting from the Fulani Arab, Mohammed Marwa, Tinubu, Fashola, etc to diseased in the following places; Majindu, Ebute Metta, Badagry, etc while our local women are prevented from undertaking their age long street trading which has been part of the culture in the name of turning Lagos into a London and the women are not given free shops when their menfolks are paying to Lagos State. It will be interesting to know how much the Hausa cattle dealers are paying to Lagos / Ogun state government as tax, when it is known that Hausa cattle dealers are grossing N3billion per day for the monopoly trade in Lagos State alone.

Ask yourself is the Lagos State government responsible for the deliberate deformation and amputation of this islamized Hausa people so that their people can make money from their plights. If you dont believe then watch "slumdog millionaire" where people are deliberately deformed in other for the perpetrators to make money.

DON'T SAVE NIGERIA
Tunde Bakare lead protest with the theme "save Nigeria" cannot work and it's a wastefull exercise, They should be courageous enough to demand and actualise the the dismantling of the forceful amalgamation of incompatible tribes called Nigeria.
Re: Why Muslims Should Stay Away From Halloween by Nobody: 2:26pm On Feb 10, 2010
considering the fact that haloween has pagan origins (like christmas - but thats another story for another day) and that a lot of fundamentalist oriented christians do not let their kids trick or treat - the op must have more than a few bricks missing from his building

oh well, the christians do have em tongue

stop spamming the board with your discriminatory hatred

leprosy is not confined to any tribe - there is no vaccine against it. if you'd used commonsense, which is clearly abesnt from your faculties, you'd have referenced polio.

instead you chose to refernce leprosy.

like so many of your kind who pollute nairaland wityh their hatred, which they pass off as 'exposing the truth' , you are showing yourself for what you really are - a disgrace to humanity bent on looking down at lepers, people unlucky enough to have contracted a disease which kills the nerve endings in the extremeities , which is the real reason for the deformities that lepers suffer.

you can bitch all you want about muslim governors in lagos state - at least lagos is moving forward - please tell us the state you're from - who knows maybe its alao akala- who kind of looks like a leper himself tongue

you can also try to find a different name - while smaller minds make silly jokes about the word islamabad , they are really exposing their xenophobic ignorance, sort of like a white man making jokes at names like dupe
