morgstreme:As humans, we all have unique strengths and weaknesses. We must recognize that no one is perfect and everyone including you has room for growth. It would have been more productive for you to calmly explain your views instead of resorting to insults. This behavior paints an unfavorable picture of your character. You need to work on your yourself. Peace! |

The news surrounding Nigeria's petroleum industry has become quite perplexing. If Nigeria's fuel import drops by 3.58 billion litres after "Subsidy Removal" as they claimed, how did we manage to meet our domestic needs? Abi na the few drops of fuel from Dangote refinery meet our needs? 1 Like 1 Share |

HawkTuah:It's unfortunate that your main priority in life seems to be centered around the availability of brothels. However, not everyone shares your preferences, and it's unfair to assume that everyone must relocate to areas with numerous brothels. If people like you, who value such establishments, choose to leave Kaduna, it could potentially become a more pleasant place for those of us who prefer not to live alongside individuals with such wayward inclinations.

sreamsense:Trash! The bolded part shows that you've been arguing without understanding the topic of discussion. What a shame! I've tried to stick to the topic of Middle Eastern (Arab and Jewish) violent culture throughout my write-ups, but it seems all you know how to do is argue off-point. Don't be angry if I don't respond to your next comment. I have more productive things to do than reply to your hogwash. |

chrisxxx:Interpolation of the Qur'an is impossible, as Allah declares in Surah 15:9, "We have, without doubt, sent down the Message (Qur'an); and We will assuredly guard it (from corruption)." However, it is possible that some Muslims or contemporary Islamic scholars might misinterpret the text for selfish reasons. This phenomenon is not unique to Islam, as Christian scholars have similarly misinterpreted the Bible for personal gain. Prophet Jeremiah acknowledged this issue, explaining that scribes had altered and misinterpreted the scripture, rendering it untruthful. This claim is corroborated in Jeremiah 8:8, where it says, "How can you say, “We are wise because we have the word of the LORD,” when your teachers (scribes) have twisted it by writing lies?" Even the Bible itself admits that its contents have been subjected to interpolation. So, I equally think Jehovah and the author of your Bible have a different mindset. Jehovah seems to be very peaceful and forgiven. I have effectively turned the tables. |

sreamsense:Lol. It's amusing to consider that someone might deceive themselves by ignoring the presence of war and violence in Arab and Jewish cultures. Equally delusional is the belief that America, a secular country, is a Christian nation. The United States has long since distanced itself from Christianity and religious governance. Who could be more misguided than Christians who believe they embody Christ's teachings yet, when questioned about what they truly have in common with Jesus, struggle to find an answer? Their current patterns of worship deviate significantly from Christ's example. For instance, can you reference a verse where Jesus encouraged singing, clapping, or beating drums during worship? These practices demonstrate that modern Christians are engaging in a religion different from the one Jesus originally preached. Don't give references from Torah; since many of you are arguing that Christians don't follow old law. Throughout this discussion, you have been trying to prolong the argument, even when you lack valid points to make. You seem unwilling to acknowledge that Arab and Jewish cultures have historically contained elements of war and violence. Instead, you have repeatedly attempted to shift the focus towards Islam, blaming the religion rather than the cultural tendencies of Arabs and Jews for their violent history. |

Foreign Affairs / Re: There’s No Place In Iran That We Cannot Reach – Netanyahu Warns Iranian Govt by Almunjid(m): 7:19pm On Sep 28 |
chrisxxx:Similarly, Allah says: "whoever kills a soul... it is as if he had slain mankind entirely" (Qur'an 5:32). From this verse, It is obvious here that Allah doesn't endorse violence either. |

chrisxxx:The question is whether Jesus came to abolish the Law or the Prophets, or if he came to fulfill them instead. Which one? Who told you that "getting a sword" was used figuratively? Name your source please. If you believe that the sword mentioned by Jesus was used figuratively, then we Muslims also believe that the same interpretation is applicable to verses in the Qur'an that refer to war or battles? These verses are seen as figurative rather than literal commands to fight or kill. |
Foreign Affairs / Re: There’s No Place In Iran That We Cannot Reach – Netanyahu Warns Iranian Govt by Almunjid(m): 5:30pm On Sep 28 |
chrisxxx:Was Jesus unaware of your claim when he said, "Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them" (Matthew 5:17). According to this verse, Jesus did not come to change the old law, but rather to fulfill the prophecies about him in the Torah. Jesus wasn't speaking of your so-called "new way" when he said in Luke 22:36-37: "But now, take your money and a traveler’s bag. And if you don’t have a "sword", sell your cloak and buy one. For the time has come for this prophecy about me to be fulfilled: ‘He was counted among the rebels.’ Yes, everything written about me by the prophets will come true." Any Christian who does not follow the old way is not a true Christian; one cannot accept some parts of the Bible and disbelieve other parts. The point is that war and terrorism are inherent in Middle Eastern culture, and their religion is practiced in a way that reflects this. This has always affected them, keeping their region in perpetual war. If you agree with me on this, then we're on the same page. Peace! |

Winnin009:You have managed to recognize that Jews and Christians also went through a phase similar to what Muslims are experiencing today. However, it's important to consider the duration of this phase for each group. To accurately compare and determine whether the Muslim phase was relatively long or short, one must establish the length of time that Jews and Christians spent engaging in acts of terror, raiding towns and villages, killing boys and women, and enslaving virgins in the name of fighting for God. So, can you provide me with the accurate length of time that the Jews and Christians spent in their phase of terrorism? Moreover, upon further reflection, you might deduce that I was correct in asserting that war and violence among Middle Easterners (whether Arabs or Jews) are deeply rooted in their culture. Their religions have also been practiced in a manner that reflects and reinforces these violent tendencies. If you can see the perspective I'm presenting, then we are on the same page. Salaam! |

chrisxxx:You're quoting the Qur'an out of context, it is crucial to consider the circumstances surrounding the revelation of the verses being discussed. This includes understanding the historical, cultural, and situational context in which the verses were revealed. The Bible also contains violent passages, such as Numbers 31:17-18: "So kill all the boys and all the women who have had intercourse with a man. Only the young girls who are virgins may live; you may keep them for yourselves." Is this not also a part of the Bible, or do you need more examples like this? They say all is fair in war, but does this verse justify contemporarily killing boys and women and enslaving virgins for sexual exploitation? Your answer to this question will also suffice for mine. Let's see how proficient you are at analogical deductions. Shalom! |

chrisxxx:The Bible also contains verses about war, killing, and enslaving women. One example is God's instructions to the warriors in Numbers 31:17-18: "So kill all the boys and all the women who have had intercourse with a man. Only the young girls who are virgins may live; you may keep them for yourselves." Israel, meaning "one who prevails with God", the name was bestowed upon Jacob after the incident in which he "wrestled with the angel" (Genesis 32:28 and 35:10). Israelites were known for fighting on behalf of God, similar to how Muslims are perceived as fighting for Allah. Like Arabs, the Israelites are not known for being peace-loving due to their culture. Should Jehovah be blamed too? Your comments about Arabs imply that Allah made them violent, which stems from ignorance. Studying pre-Islamic Arabic literature reveals that Arabian society was war-torn, with people living like animals. Arabia was a male-dominated society, where women held no status beyond being sex objects. Heroes who bore female children often killed them, as they were deemed useless in war and revenge. It was common for men to bury their daughters alive out of shame. Arab people were known as "Rijalul Harab" (men of war). Tribes frequently fought each other over trivial matters. A small altercation between two tribes could escalate into a full-blown war, lasting for decades. Children were raised to seek vengeance for their fallen family members, perpetuating a vicious cycle of violence. This warrior ethos defined Arab culture before the advent of Islam. When Islam emerged, it instilled a sense of brotherhood and unity among Arab tribes, as mentioned in the Qur'an: "And hold firmly to the rope of Allah and do not be divided. Remember Allah's favour upon you when you were enemies, then He united your hearts, so you—by His grace—became brothers. And you were at the brink of a fiery pit, and He saved you from it." (Qur'an 3:103). The Qur'an also teaches the importance of resolving conflicts and maintaining brotherhood: "The believers are but brothers, so make settlement between your brothers. And fear Allah that you may receive mercy." (Qur'an 49:10). Prophet Muhammad further emphasized unity, stating: "A Muslim is a brother of another Muslim. He does not oppress him, nor does he leave him at the mercy of others." (Sahih al-Bukhari). These teachings helped reduce conflicts among Arabs, fostering a sense of brotherhood. However, after the Prophet's death, some corrupt leaders and religious figures distorted Islam's peaceful message to wage wars and conquer territories, often under the guise of jihad. As a result, the original peaceful teachings of Islam were manipulated to justify violence and warfare. It's crucial to understand a people's history before accusing anyone of influencing their behavior, culture, and attitudes. Without Allah and Islam, Arabs might have remained locked in a cycle of violence, akin to animals killing each other. Lastly, you need to ask for forgiveness from God Almighty for the misconceptions you've spread about Him. May He forgive us all for the things we say out of ignorance. Peace! |

What if they prove to be as unmotivated as we are? That would mean Nigeria will never see progress. Instead, let's choose to be optimistic and contribute in our own ways, no matter how small.

When considering the importance of dating and relationships before marriage, one might question the benefits if essential information, such as genotype, blood group, and the health status of a potential life partner, isn't shared during this time. Many individuals focus solely on the physical aspect of their relationships, like engaging in sexual activities, instead of discussing critical matters. Peace! 7 Likes |
