Unfortunately, that's not how it seem to always work out...Global examples of terrorism can testify to these facts. Even Nigeria being used as a case study, less than 0.01% of the population is Boko Haram, YET, this group are responsible for all the terror attacks on Nigerian soil. They have distabillized our great nation nation, so as you can see, you don't need a multitude to commit serious grave damage, that's why we the 99.9999% dread but not afraid of the 0.00001% of this callous groups.

Muslims in Igboland have not shown any tendency for religious violence. You cannot compare them to an organized violent, political and religious movement group like boko haram.

Religious intolerance has been present since the inception of time, even before Christ, so what's the big deal on here? One might not tolerate another for his beliefs, just like some can't tolerate other people's sexuality, however, since there a common knowledge of understanding between conflicting groups, that's what matters. I don't need to respect nor value your religion, however, I still have self restrain to your religion.

That does not excuse what I'm reading on this thread. While others are fighting to cease religious hatred, some are excusing it because of it's long history. Ethnic hatred has been in this world for a long time too. I'm neither a Muslim or a Christian, no it's not "my" religion.It doesn't have to be my religion for me to be disgusted at all this display

Sweetnecta: you ignorant people think islam is not part of igbo, ever.
i am sure the animists used to be this ignorant about christianity entering indigbo.

i am sure that igbo men and women are fast becoming muslims.
i know many and indeed, i am married to one of them.

now swallow this better pill.

InshaAllah islam will wax stronger, bigger and prominent in the igbo ethnic group. Amin.

Your point?

The Bible said our God is a "LOVING GOD", yet he's a Consuming fire. He fights his own battles and doesn't sleep waiting on humans to fight his own battle for him.

As for that chapter, YES, God did not encourage violence but delivered Jericho into their hands because it was somewhat like a war. You need to read the accounts of the "Wall of Jericho" again.

dragnet:

isn't it odd that you just spring up reasons in defence for bible verses but you judge the words of the Quran by its literal meaning ? Probably you dont know there's something called 'Tafseer l Quran' which explains each verse in detail in order for ppl not to be mislead by tgeir literal meaning. . . .or is it that you just chose to be a hypocrite ?

manny4life:

What is odd about what I write? The Bible is VERY CLEAR, the OLD Testament was a recording of what happened "BC" after Christ came, he laid examples for us on how Christians should live, better yet, Christians model after Christ/body of Christ himself, not God, not Abraham, nor Elijah nor any of these powerful prophets but Christ himself. ... How is our Bible contradictory? My friend leave hypocrisy, tell that to the Al-queada , Al, shabab, Boko Haram and the endless list, go preach unto them.

Da infamous: In igbo land they welcome their Jewish brothers from isreal,even some of them have titles in igboland i will show you evidence, not only that now synagogue had open different branches and they have a lot of igbos practicing judaizm.And is accepted in igbo-land because of cultural similarities.

And they have been living in peace with their neighbors and more people are converting.....see...

phemmy1987: The governor shld b careful abt his decision inoda to avoid him of unnecessary violence in d state. Islam is a religion of peace nt else bt peace.

Seems like igboland is another white-worshipping African playground.

How many times has other NIgerian region given chieftancy rank to a white guy just because he shows interest in learning about our culture? How do you "convert" into an ethnicity?

Seems like igboland is another white-worshipping African playground. LOL @ same way Andre Uweh posted a white chap in his chieftain attire the other day.

How many times has other NIgerian region given chieftancy rank to a white guy just because he shows interest in learning about our culture? How do you "convert" into an ethnicity? So it's okay to practice Judaism but it's a crime to practice Islam lol? All because of the desire for a Jewish link.

I'll pick Judaism, Buddhism, Atheism, or what have you over Islamism... FACT.

Ibrahim mr fish: When did hausa/fulani ever say yoruba muslims are not real muslims? [size=18pt]I grow up in Niger state[/size] and i never hear dat statement,4m anyone.

Antivirus92: they don't exist,there is no fact there. Its all fabrications to make outsiders view nigeria as a muslim country

jomonic:

Oga please suggest other ways of explaning this to the muslims to avoid crisis. Methinks that Anambra government should demolish this mosque if indeed it is blocking access ways very well identified in their master plan. I do not see how the government owe any body or organization any explanation when they are acting within the law. The muslims or BOKO HARAM can go violent if they wish. They have been doing so all these years and without any body provoking them

yoji: I jus want to correct d notion by someone on this thread dat yoruba muslims are not real muslims. This propaganda is spread by the hausa fulani in the north to promote their ethnic agenda. because wen they are presented wit d fact that how can they claim a religious war wen other muslims are being killed.
Muslims range from every where. U find them in china, spain, indonesia, usa etc and they all can't be hausa. Bsides the prophet was not hausa. The hausa/fulani are an unxposed domineerin group with an expansionist agenda which has now turned into an embarassement
