Religion / Re: Islam’s Proof That Jesus Did Not Die On The Cross ? by lolafowowe(f): 4:31pm On Aug 15, 2011
@frosbel, u re very funny

This is Muhammad's tomb , he is DEAD and BURIED
who told u that prophet Muhammad (saw) is GOD,he is a messenger of GOD

My friend , I have done extensive research on the Quran and Hadiths myself and read many verses again and again.

I am dumbfounded how a sane and normal person can believe in all that nonsense.

Again you Muslims have been taught not to question what you are taught , otherwise the loving Allah will plunge you into the abyss.

Allah has a stick to beat your heads at the slightness provocation, he is a slave driver not a GOD.

By the way reminds me of Pharaoh the slave driver in the bible who beat the Jews into submission and fear, sounds like ALLAH to me.


ALLAH is false, JESUS is LORD.

Repent or PERISH !!!

what research ve u done the one's write by ur fellow Christians to tarnish the image of ISLAM
If u re a true christian and believe in what HE says, u will not backbite nor tarnish other peoples faith.
even if u re preaching,dis is not how to go about it.
what i ve to tell u is simple,ask GOD to give u understand and more faith so that when u  read the Quran and Hadiths with a pure heart u will be able to know if it is the true or not.
may GOD be with u and forgive all of us.
Islam for Muslims / For The Love Of Islam by lolafowowe(f): 3:40pm On Aug 15, 2011
I was born Muslim, so automatically I was expected to follow Islam. I guess this is true for most Nigerians and as with all things that come easy you take it for granted. While at university, I decided to research into my religion and draw my own personal conclusions. At the time, I was becoming increasingly frustrated with answers I got from learned folks (which were usually men), especially when it came to questions regarding women and I needed to decide if Islam was the path I wanted to follow. I remember telling my uncle that an Iranian friend quoted a few disturbing things from the Quran. He said to me “you have a degree and you acquired that degree by studying and researching”. So do that about your religion. I did just that!

I learnt that Islam is truly a religion of peace, tolerance and forgiveness. Islam symbolizes Peace. A Muslim should be first and foremost peaceful. To be a Muslim is to be faithful, generous, peaceful, kind, understanding, tolerant, patient, and grateful. Every verse in the Quran warns us of the last day and reminds us of a very merciful and forgiving God. The Quran reminds me that Jews and Christians are part of me. This fact is one that makes me proud to be Muslim today.

With events like 9/11 and the recent (and past) religious violence in Nigeria, it is hard for people to see how Islam is a religion of peace. I really do not blame them. I think is up to Muslims to change the way we are being perceived. But I believe also non Muslims should educate themselves and realize that it is the minority that causes these problems. They should understand religion is the easiest and greatest weapon. Men never do evil so completely and cheerfully as when they do it from religious conviction, and this is true for all religions.

As a non hijab wearing Muslim, I don’t get judged instantly but once people find out I am Muslim, the non Africans try not to offend me by being “too politically correct”. But my fellow Africans are too quick to judge me and quote things they read on the internet. I remember when the Mutallab incident happened, I walked into the office and the first thing my Igbo catholic colleague asked was what kind of crap does the Quran teach? I was shocked! I could have told him that the Quran forbids killing anyone. I could have asked him to pick up the Quran and learn more about Islam. I could have pointed out that the incident happened due to brain washing and lack of knowledge. Besides, I am sure that the plane Mutallab was intending to blow up had Muslims on it, as well as Christians. I could have argued that Catholicism has had its fair share of “bad apples” where people who had murdered a whole city where given absolution by the Bishop. I didn’t say any of this because most people have made up their minds about what they believe Islam is about and will refuse to see a different side.

I really do believe, we as a nation need to come to a place where we learn to respect each other’s faiths. I remember once a Nigerian colleague said the phrase “Inshallah” which means by the grace of God. Another colleague then asked her if she was Muslim and she responded “God forbid” and I was standing right there. I asked her if I had given a similar response when asked if I was Christian, how would she feel? She didn’t respond. Since I have so many friends of different faiths, I think it’s my responsibility to learn about their faith, support them in it, or at the very least respect their rights to their own personal belief systems. I have had so many discussions with people of other faiths and tried to point out similarities that we can all celebrate but people are bent on focusing on the differences. As long as we focus on these differences we will always be at logger heads.

I think there is a great need for dialogue with Muslims who have a sound knowledge of the religion to clear misconceptions on Islam. Above all, Islam is a religion of peace and that should be what is at the heart of every Muslim.

Peace Be Unto All.
