Seriously with the way preaching goes on for danfo, molue, trains, canoe, office, laboratory, market, store, we go soon "jeun soke" with mosques, aeroplane, helicopter, camel, donkey, forest, farm, brs, including Sagamite's shrine! So watch out!

Where have you seen a Xtian preach the violent verses you point to? Where have you seen a pastor justifying killing and even putting it on DVD or going on national TV to tell some it is a duty to kill anyone against them or that has offended them?

Why did you daft, asinine arse think it is OK to compare what is OBVIOUSLY REDUNDANT for YEARS part of the bible to what Muslims are having a problem, in this day and age in teaching to people of their faith?

slowpoke!

You are a confirmed idio.t.
What context of use? The one you daftly invented when i exposed your stupidity??

Since you are obviously retarded i'll keep posting the original quote

pingu2k5:

I think the problem is basically Islam and its intolerance. Someone quoted, in the earlier pages, some verses in the Qur'an confirming the intolerance of Islam. If every religion and believe system were to be as intolerant as Islam is, I doubt if there would be any human being surviving on earth.

Muslims and Christians openly condemn idol worshippers, ifa priests etc., even though in this part of the world theirs is the most threatened "religion", yet they do not react by fighting physically back; most of the time, they resort to their gods to do the fighting. I wonder why Islam teaches violence and assault on "unbelievers".


May the God that Seun Bunmi Adegunsoye believes in save her from this trouble she put herself into.

Who cares if they preach it or not??
Where in the original quote was any refrence made to preaching??

Even a two brain cell fool will see the issue raised by the dude are The EXISTENCE of so-called ''violent'' verses in the quran which according to him ''confirm'' islam as violent/intolerant. Do similar verses in the bible too ''confirm'' christianity as violent and intolerant??

First it was ''comparing what happened in 16400000000000 BC to what is happening in 2010'' Now the useless old fool has changed story to ''think it is OK to compare what is OBVIOUSLY REDUNDANT for YEARS part of the bible. . . ''. You are a sick slowpoke

Redundant my arse. Obviously the irony is lost on dead brains like you that the christian god is said to ''never change'' and if he loved and sanctioned ''murder'' and ''intolerance'' 1000 years ago he still loves it and sees it as moral today. So why the hypocrisy??

I again ask this unintelligent fool to show me where comparisms where made between ''what is OBVIOUSLY REDUNDANT for YEARS part of the bible to what Muslims are having a problem, in this day and age in teaching to people of their faith?''

I am greatly astounded as to your response, first you denounce some part of the bible (Isn't it suppose to be a divine scripture from God with no errors in it?); and then you go ahead to insult Muslims asking if Christians ever put , to practice My friend, if I may ask you what is the Bombing, Raping, unlimited assault on innocent Iraqis whom had no business with 9/11 nor WMDs suppose to be called Who are the major perpetrators of the crimes going on in Iraq and Afghanistan. Is it because in the name of "Jesus" is not shouted when the bombs are being dropped on civilians, children etc. Perhaps I should also remind you of the christian crusaders whom murdered women and children in the most devastating manner that history will never forget.

I have utmost respect for xtians, I do have very good xtian friends especially the Jehovah witnesses and catholics. But I am very dissappointed when an Arab Muslim is so greatly criticised for tying a bomb round himself just to kill a few American soldiers, but the same criticism is not meted out to American soldiers whom kill in large numbers with such impunity that makes some of their own soldiers go sick (mental disorder, due to their inability to stomach the attrocities they have committed).

What the girl did is highly condemnable, it is becoming frustrating the way xtians go ahead to preach in buses (allowing one no rest), and turn residential residences to churches giving their neighbours sleepless nights. This must be unGodly, because of your own selfish desire you to proclaim your worship, you turn your loudspeakers so loud, that everyone in the neighbourhood won't be able to sleep quietly; If this is not provocation, then what is

One question: should this have happened the other way, i.e, a Muslim intruding into a Christian gathering to proclaim Allah as saviour, would this have gone beyond the school and turned into a national issue.

I can tell you for sure that the student would have been expelled / suspended for inciting violence. And yes, the papers would have picked it, and they always do. The Muslim student's reaction is understandable because they have always been on the receiving side, they needed to drum-out this episode to drive in the point, they are not always the "Trouble-initiators". I lived in the south-east for a while, and the few Muslims there are constantly being harrassed, the Muslim women in Hijab, are always taunted, sometimes their head-scarf are pulled and laughed at. Does it ever make headlines?NO.

The experience of Muslims whom go for Youth-service is another chapter entirely, year in year out, the Muslims sisters are threatened to pull-off their hijab, despite it is not against any NYSC rules; yet the Chriatian-Catholic sisters whom also wear something very similar are treated with so much respect and exempted from most disliked activities. There are many examples but for the battery of my Laptop, I would have elaborated more

You are missing the point; I come to class early in the Morning to prepare for lectures and the next thing someone steps  onto the stage and starts chanting / screaming into my ears. This is very disturbing, it is very similar to someone coming to the class with a stereo player playing Bob-Marley. This will definitely unsettle someone who is not a Bob-Marley fan, I can remember I was greatly irritated by those preachings. If you wanted to preach do it during church / fellowship sessions, why disturb others? Xtians need to understand that they are disturbing Muslims when they choose go into the bus, classes and scream their preachings into the ears of everybody. The worst thing that can happen to anybody is to be living beside a church, even if the church just has 10 worshippers, they will ensure they buy the loudest loud-speakers just to disturb you.

See the typical biase rant to claim victim.

"My suffering is woooooorse".

"We are being mistreated".

"We are the victims because of provocation".

No decency and objectivity to look from the other angle.

Tell me which you would prefer:

1) To be taunted for wearing an Hijab (that is part of your beliefs and you cherish) and you head home crying/annoyed.

2) To be an Igbo man that has his head cut-off or his livelihood destroyed in Kano because some Xtain woman in Trinidad & Tobago (you do not know, have never met or talked to) said Muhammed is sexy, and some muslims feel annoyed.

In summary, most of the posters here on NL absolutely lack the slightest idea of Islam which they term to be highly intolerant and violent. It is this attitude of spewing garbage while being completely ignorant that has eaten unto the morality of even the so called civilized and educated ones among us. How on earth can one make informed comments about that which he totally lacks knowledge? Comparing Islam to Christianity is like comparing the entire Nigerian Constitution to the electoral act which only applies in matters related to elections.  For those who care to have an idea of what I am referring to, visit my post below:

In fact u deserve a ban

@ Jaaiz Tech

the last time i checked what looks like what Nigeria still calls constitution, Nigeria is still not an atheist state, therefore there is still freedom of expression of faith  inclusive of Uni of Ibadan, if I preach inside the bus and the bus conductor did not ask me to either keep quiet or get off his bus, i can as well continue, who cares? , but you have a freedom to express your faith in a school but it should not be provocative like the stupid girl, who complains when you march round the school during your Jihad week shouting allahu Akbar,

I have said times without number that i cannot worship or embrace a Deity or god that cannot fight for Himself, that means He cannot save me when I am in trouble, I can as well become a god if He has to rely on me to fight for Him,

Over and Out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The funny part is, neither Tudor nor Sagamite belongs to any religion.  Tudor, an atheist.  Sagamite, an "Agnostic Deist", like myself.



P.S. I've always thought of myself as an "Agnostic Deist", and in fact, thought I was probably the first to coin the term. Surprisingly, I find someone here who describes himself with the exact same words. Even more surprising is, I just found a "Agnostic Deist Association" group on Facebook.

Why wouldn't they be tolerant? Christians are followers of christ who lived an exemplary life, never fought with anyone or went to any battle. Unlike the Islamic leader who did the opposite of what christ did

Living in delusion?  Well, I wouldn't know about that to be honest.  While a deist believes in the existence of a supreme being, an "agnostic deist" isn't even sure about that either, but just "feels" there's got to be "something" bigger than us, somewhere. Everyone of us (theist/atheist/deist/agnostic/etc) could be deluded for all I know.

toba:

Yeah but the deist still believes in the existence of a supreme being and not live in delusion like some who dis believes no?

Yep. I believe in a supreme being just by looking at nature and the way it was intelligently made and works.

But I have no jack clue about this supreme being. I don't know what it looks like, what it wants, whether it wants to be worshipped etc. And I believe nobody knows, can know or is in communication with it. Not in the past, not in the present, not in the future. I am not convinced by those that have claimed such so far.

I choose to believe, I have no reasonable proof, so I don't go dogmating around that others have to also believe that "there is a supreme being and this is what it wants" (Oga above, abi na below deni, no disrespect calling you a "it" o).
