As I pointed out earlier, I know that both religious books approved of violence but the fact is that most christians try to emulate Christ and moslems try to emulate Mohammed. Hence it's significant to point out the differences in moral standards of both.

Christians are less violent partly because Jesus Christ was never violent.

Moslems are more violent because their prophet espoused violence. He killed a lot of people during his lifetime in religious conquests.

Havertz10:
nah he is smart, if he allowed Christians with their invasive tendencies to freely enter that space

Nairaland will be uninhabitable for Muslims, they will be religious wars of words and most Muslims will exit this platform, there are at least 20 Christians for each Muslim and i’m only guessing i’m sure that it’s much more than that self

Havertz10:
Christians mocking Muslims like if they aren’t worst than them


I would pick a Muslim over a Christian every day of the week and twice on Sunday

Bombblacks:

This is nonsense. Christianity is one of the most peaceful religion in the world.

Havertz10:
is that so? how many innocent lives have been lost enabling Israel to steal land from people in the name of god

Or how many generations have been ruined by the neoliberalism of Christian dominated America? Look at Iraq and the rest

You can’t even see your hypocrisy

BlueRayDick:


U can’t be in ur house and decide what is blasphemy or not. It is the law court that can do that after listening to the argument of lawyers of all the parties in the case. I do not understand Hausa to have known exactly what the girl said or not; neither do I know the young ladies’ beef with those other guys before the unfortunate incident.

Like I said earlier , they should’ve handed her to law enforcement agents if they feel she has committed the crime of blasphemy.

But one thing is sure, the jungle justice they carried out by taking laws into their hands is what people have been doing down south setting ablaze suspected kidnappers, ritualists etc without having a recourse to the law enforcement agents.

We need to agree jungle justice as a nation as a whole , not telling northerners to refrain from such dastardly act and neglecting the ones being down by our brothers here

Joezinho:


But do you honestly think the menace of tribal wars and personal attacks on the forum isn't making it uninhabitable for most people? Shouldn't that be his major apprehension?

I find it hypocritical that this forum which is supposed to unite us with freedom of expression and opinions is dividing us into sects based on our beliefs..

Dude is doing NL Christians and others a disservice if the Muslims can comment on their threads but they could not in turn comment on theirs unless they renounce their own beliefs.

If this was done to prevent others from making a mockery of the Muslim beliefs then I believe the Christians and other religions deserves such protections as well because they all get bullied at one time or the other.

Straight to the point...

Pep and Klopp, who’s bigger and better?

But we Nigerians actually support jungle justice when it suits our agenda.

Burn a rapist and watch Nigerian ladies support it.

Burn a false rape accuser and watch men support it, while ladies will lowkey condemn it.

Burn an aboki in Igbo land who was caught stealing and watch Igbos support it, while Hausas condemned it.

Burn someone for blasphemy in the north and watch the igbos condemn it while the Hausa support it.

If your relative gets caught for robbery even after shooting the victim, you’ll want the police to take care of it and not jungle justice.

But if your relative gets shot by a thief, you’ll so much prefer jungle justice and not police.

We can pretend to be civil online, but the truth remains that WE ALL support jungle justice.

Joezinho:


Christianity has had the advantage of being tamed by the Enlightenment..

Today, if you insulted JESUS, printed HIS face on toilet paper, or urinated on a Bible, you would be hated but unharmed.

Take this same attitude to Sokoto, and you would get slaughtered like a pig.

That's the difference.

donjazet:


Ibime I think this is false equivalence.
The basic difference between a Christian and a Muslim is basically in how both their main figures lived thier lives. Yes, both religious books have verses that explicitly supports and approve violence and bloodshed BUT when you compare Jesus Christ and Mohammed, you see a difference in how they lived their lives and espoused followers to.

For example, Mohammed was a crusader, one who physically engaged in wars and bloodshed for the sake of Islam, his followers also did the same thing.

On the other hand, Jesus was a pacifist till death, even when his followers wanted to physically fight for him in Gethsemane when the Romans came to arrest him, he told them not to fight anybody. Jesus Christ NEVER killed anybody or approved the killing of anybody unlike Mohammed who fought wars in conquests and shed blood.

Also important to note that Jesus was a virgin till death, never married, never had sex, always preached about keeping the temple of Christ holy. Which is why you have some sects of Christianity directly following that doctrine.

On the other hand, Mohammed loved them bitches married 5 wives, fvcked a 9 year old kid and married her.

Jokes aside, I'm highlighting how the actions of these 2 spiritual figures inspire the actions of their followers. Jesus Christ was a pacifist till death, Mohammed was a warrior who killed people but sometimes advocated for peace. Make of that what you will.

I imagine that if I posted this on a certain Whatsapp group like Deborah did, you guys will be seeing my burnt corpse by now and will be foolishly debating whether I was suppose to say these in a my own class group.

pocohantas:


I remembered this few days ago and was telling someone about it. He was asking me if that happened in Nigeria, lol. The killings have been going on for a long time. It is easy to make this a religious issue because it happened in the North. But let’s pretend like we don’t see similar news on Nairaland frontpage everyday.

donjazet:


Again with the whataboutism, the jungle justice in Deborah's case is a side issue, an important issue nonetheless but a side issue. The main issue is the motivation for the killing.

Listen blueray, sometimes violence is LOGICAL, I didn't say justified, I said, LOGICAL. When we hear that a cultist was burnt to death by a rival cult group, we simply shrug our shoulders and move away because the death was logical, play stupid games, win dangerous prices.

Or we hear where an armed robber who has just killed his victims but engages in open fire combat with the police and catches a bullet, it's a violent death but logical.

Where's the logic in killing someone for telling her classmates to stop posting religious stuff on a class WhatsApp group?? Where's the goddamn logic??

Mind you she didn't actually insult Mohammed, she just made an off the cuff remark, "no be only prophet" how then do Sane people start making this an issue of just the jungle justice??

It's just like American republicans focusing on only the supreme court leak while abandoning the main premise of the issue.

Whataboutism is just a deflection tactic.

Ellexy:
Deborah was literally killed for an alleged blasphemy. You can't say "it is easy to make this a religious issue" when the killers themselves made it a religious issue and killed for religion. Whether it happened in the North or not, religion is at the center of this barbaric murder.

Ibime:


Gimme Klopp anyday for most teams

But if I have a Sheikh funding, I'll take Pep

Pep is a specialist at efficiently defeating teams when he has the better players

When you are an underdog club, you go for someone like Klopp

That's why Pep will get 3 points from the likes of Wolves, Everton and co all day. But when the gulf in quality between players is shortened in the UCL, he fumbles. This no be today story, same thing happened at Bayern. Na just SAF naivety to play them toe to toe with inferior players gave him his UCL. Chelsea already dumped him out if not for Ovrebo, and Inter did the same. When he went to Bayern, we saw how Madrid and Barca disgraced him when he faced teams with better players. His strength is just in maximising the gulf in quality between players, but when quality is not on his side, he is weak.

NinjaXmetahuman:
I don't.

izzou:


Poppy, I no dey live on assumptions and imaginations. I stick with reality

Money will buy power again and again in this country

For 15k a week (I think), I can have an armed policeman as an escort. So with 75k, I have 5 armed policemen following me about.

I just need to budget 300k a month, and these men will open and close doors for me, even violate traffic laws. And you are saying I should chase power?

Didn't you see how Abba Kyari was addressing Hushpuppy?

Just go out and see what Money commands. Forget all these assumptions of criticizing government and all that.

Go to ministries, government parastatals and see what privileges people with money have.

I would choose Money 1000 billion times over power in this country.

popizaino:




I don't think there is much to say on this because blueraydick has done all the explanations on how power is greater than money but not withstanding, I will choose to have money but I won't be stupid enough to think it is all and step on toes of those who have power even if am richer than Dangote.

GloriousGbola:



400+ years of history says otherwise

Spanish inquisition off the top of my tongue.
Salem witch trials
Precursors for colonization
And I laugh when I hear Christians try to emulate Jesus, who died a bachelor. How many Christian makes are celibate and hanging out with 12 dudes
I think we know how all that priest celibacy has been going.
Christianity has grown out of violence or maybe it is tempered by secularism.

pocohantas:


That itself is not in dispute. So I am confused on the need for your post.

Havertz10:
funny enough, you are an apt example of a low budget atheist, you think that the Bible is bullshit and still believe in god

Muslims aren’t invasive and they aren’t hypocritical, they are like wild animals, respect their habitat and they will let you be, but Christians are contradictory and hypocrites that’s why they are mostly criticized

I never said this either.

donstan18:

So you’ll be angry and sad to see a thief who killed your loved one face jungle justice?

Which kind lie be this?

BlueRayDick:


I guess we both have different views to this case . It won’t do any of us going back and forth on this.

Let’s just hope the police and other law enforcement agents to the right thing of prosecuting the culprits

Na wa for you oh

So you don't know the end of this story?

NinjaXmetahuman:
I will be angry, and I will want him dead.

But I don't want it done jungle justice style.
