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 ?
May Almighty God bless you.

Da infamous: There was palpable tension in the commercial city of Onitsha yesterday when the Muslim community comprising Igbos, Hausas and Yorubas resisted alleged plot by the Anambra state government to demolish their Central Mosque located close to the Bridgehead market. Saturday Nation gathered that the Muslims numbering over 1000 and chanting “Allah is the greatest”, maintained that the plan by the state government to destroy their place of worship was a fallout of the cold war against them in the state.
Addressing journalists yesterday during the protest, the leader of the Muslims, Alhaji Habib Faruk, said they have already compiled with the state government’s decision to beautify the Bridgehead and Upper Iweka axis by removing all their shops as directed, adding the said mosque does not fall within the area marked for demolition.
Alhaji Faruk who led the protest, condemned the manner members of the Anambra state task force under the Transition Committee Chairman of Onitsha South descended on the Muslims during their Friday prayer and forced them out of the mosque.
He maintained that the action of the state government might not be unconnected with the current activities of the dreaded Boko Haram in some Northern parts of the country.He pleaded with the Inspector General of Police, Mr. Mohammed Abubakar, to prevail on the state government to approach the issue with caution in view of the security situation in the country.
“We are not resisting the decision of the state government to beautify the Bridgehead but the plan to demolish our place of worship is more political and could result in breakdown of law and order because no Muslim would stand by and watch their place of worship demolished for no just cause”
Meanwhile, the Transition Committee Chairman of Onitsha South, Mr. Okechukwu Ezeani, said the actionof the state government was not politically or religiously influenced, but a measure to clean up the entrance to the state.
He said “we are not targeting any mosque.Even if a cathedral is standing in the place marked out for demolition, it would be pulled down, so, the insinuation that the state government is witch hunting Muslims is unfounded and malicious”
It took the intervention of the Commander of the 302 Artillery Regiment, Onitsha , Col J. T Durowaiye, the Commissioner of Police, Mr. Balla Nasarawa and the Onitsha Area Commander, Mr. B.C. Wordu who drafted detachments of armed security men to the area to bring the situation under control.

let the anambra state gov be truthful about d issue. If its out hatred against against any group it against principle human right and democracy. If gov insist on demolition, let the gov provide another befitting place of worship.
Secondly, i thing d reason why all d states of south are doing bad is state of religion. They even practice christianity with idol, carryn bible to shrinne. Why cant you taste full Islam today and see. UK and USA are adopting islamic doctrine and principles to manage goverment. Without Islam (not hausa, fulani or yoruba.

rhymz: what do you mean by forced Igbo muslims in the north? I am presently in Sokoto, this is arguably the seat of Nigeria's islamic power yet there are churches and many Igbo people living here in Peace. Which one again be forced muslim for this we era? Guy relax biko and say things as they are. Can somebody show us one Igbo muslim, all these long epistles will not do anything, any desperate Igbo person trying to curry favour from rich and influential muslims can claim to be muslim and even change his name to some funny muslim name, it still does not make him an Igbo muslim. Show us proof of a practising Igbo muslim that all and sundry knows.

I think he meant "forced" Igbo as in Igbo that converted in terms of safety from the hausa/fulani up north, for more contract and political gain. I do know one Igbo muslim. He's the only Igbo muslims i've met in my entire life and his islam is as fake as it can get. The guy in question converted for contracts alone at least that is what I believe because when he converted, nobody else in his family converted with him including his children and wife. He eats food muslims are not suppose to eat like pork and stuff. He is the only Igbo muslim I've ever met in my life and I have a feeling that man pray silently to God and Jesus. I would not be surprised if he goes to church secretly.

The bold sounds like a threat. Religion of peace indeed. Tufiakwa!!!!!!

Anyway, the mosque was illegally built in a land it shouldn't be, the government has every right to demolition the property if it is affecting their plans. All this protest and headache is unnecessary. Threatening the government would even add in more fuel for the demolition. What ever ounce of chance they had to get the Anambra government to stop, went off the roof the minute they threaten them. This people do not know Anambra people at all, do they? They would test that threat, watch. It gonna happen just to see what you people would do. Una do not know Anambra people at all at all.

A true igbo man can NEVER be
forced
to embrace a religion or ideology he doesn't want or
like. Any so called "forced igbo muslim" is a fake muslim (because he
was forced to embrace the religion) , a fake christian (because he
denied the true religion and the one and only GOD) and a fake igboman
(for being a coward) . We don't need such type of people in igbo land
and we should get rid of such people with IMMEDIATE effect. There is
always a choice ! If an igbo man finds himself in a position whereby
customers / business partners are hostile to him because of his refusal
to embrace a BARBARIC RELIGION then he can always move to a region or
location where civilization exists . Ndi anambra must support their
government in breaking down that shrine where blood thirsty vampires
have their meeting . Babylon MUST fall IGBOLAND cool
[/quote]
you
dont know what you are saying, u and i know that igbo or ibo people are
very desperate, they can do anything for anything. They can decide to
become muslims or any religion for that matter for a purpose. And this
purpose is usually related to or connected directly or indirectly to
MONEY.

And that's why islam still remain a terrorist organisation headed by top class terrorists e.g Osama Bin Laden, Muammar Ghadaffi and host of them.

This is why I personally think that Islam will find it VERY HARD to establish in Igboland. This mindset of always threatening violence in the face of slighest grievance.
Churches have been severally demolished in Nigeria in the North, West and East, and no Christian ever threatens violence because of it. I am now beginning to understand why some believe that Islam and peace are like oil and water that can NEVER mix. I don't fear for Onitsha or Anambra state because I know that my people are capable of dealing with any trouble maker.
I wish the governor God's speed as he demolishes everything in the way of beautification of the bridge head. cool

Peter Obi is an Ibo xtain in state where majority of muslims r nt Ibo's.

Please, let us learn to understand and forsee potential social dangers.

Wether we like it or not this is a sensitive issue, and the governor need to atleast provide a new site for the mosque before demolition.

This will give the BH, a reason to attack southerners in the north, please let us protect each other not foolishly provoke repraisal attacks .
I agree with u totally except that part u said YORUBA MUSLIM not regarded as MUSLIM.in Islam there is nothing like that 'it is either u are a muslim or not atall' is only GOD that know who is and not MUSLIM, that authority does not belong to anybody. Me I'm a Yoru's and I'm a MUSLIM nd proud of IT

Ewu hausa! the boldened are what they are today beacuse of American and western life influence, Osama Bin devil was a prince in saudi arabia but he was against America because America brought civility and and encouraged liberal islamism through their interaction with the saudi kings viz-a-viz america's refining of saudi crude oil.

Today we hear of syria accusing saudi king of not being true muslim because saudi's stance is in harmony with america's stance. We know that in islam, the extremist are considered better muslims dan the liberal ones, dats y an aboki muslim will not allow yoruba muslim to lead prayer when in a mixed situation.

Please tell me how ur ruling nigeria has made u better than igbo ppl? Isn't it a contradiction dat muslims have held sway of this contry's leadership and yet fellow muslims are the poorest in West Africa? Ur criminal islamic leaders accumulated wealth and left u poorer to be used as a tool for violence, while an average wealthy igbo xtian will have 15 boys under his tutelage and after 5 years settle dem to start up something meaningful and d cycle continues till we are all rich while u animals shout "ritual money" as if ritual money exists, almajiris will prefer to be poor than join the ritual bandwagon.

It took the intervention of the Commander of the 302 Artillery Regiment, Onitsha , Col J. T Durowaiye, the Commissioner of Police, Mr. Balla Nasarawa and the Onitsha Area Commander, Mr. B.C. Wordu who drafted detachments of armed security men to the area to bring the situation under control.
