PAGAN 9JA:


stop making repeated base statements. Africa is in such astate now due to colonialism nd its effects and christianiyt & islam puling us backward.

why worship something that isnt real? who says it isnt real? infact it isnt real, it is above real. it is surreal.

you fellows are so narrow. you believe something only when you touch and see it. very materialistic i say. .


LMFAO!!!Do you not know introducing of organized religion in Africa? Aren't you African yourself?

African is not in the state it is just because of colonization. Northeast Africa was fine even Islam came along and made it ass backwards. Many non Islamic structures were destroyed. Islam is backwards religion and its stone age! Also I hear in Mali many Timbuktu structures are being destroyed, because they are "NON ISLAMIC"!

Christianity(European) isn't even native to Africa. They were forced on you by the colonizers. If I were African I wouldn't dare follow Christianity! Christianity was forced on Africans. And now Africans are repeating what those savage Europeans did when they thought someone was a witch!

Christianity is just as barbaric as Islam. My statements are not base and I am not narrow minded.. You just can't handle the truth. There is no proof that God exist. If so than who created him? The Universe has no beginning or ending, the Universe is "God".

First off I am not confuse and far from deluded. I believe bible thumpers are deluded.

I know that you are Pegan and all and I respect that. I respect Pegan religions, because they have done less harm to the world. But IMO religion is useless..

Is there a Spiritual Realm? We don't know what happens after death.. So until then I am saying most likely not.

Although I have my own personal gripe with you (tho minor grin)

I CO-SIGN 1000% cool

In Somalia, there is a video of ancient Somali tombs being vandalized and destroyed by Al Shabaab militants. And as you said the same scenario has been and still is being played throughout Africa.

Black people spend so much time being angry at Europeans but fail to realize that the introduction of Arab culture aka Islam was the first critical blow to African ways of live and standards of living. In fact the same can be said for Europe as well as they too felt the wrath of the Arab imperialists.

This western vs. islamic war? This is NOT NEW!!

The introduction of Islam and Christianity to other lands was a competition...a set up for an inevitable battle of who deserves to call the shots. Its not about serving God. TRUST ME.

In fact to many Arabs, "African Muslims" are not considered legit due to the fact that many still uphold and abide by their old traditions of dance, song, and belief in spiritual deities...their entire culture according to Islam is primitive and haraam. What does that say??

"In the name of Jesus", my ancestors were packed on ships.
"In the name of Allah" their predecessors were marched to the middle east to serve as slaves.


"Save these heathens in the name of God" my foot! grin
It's a competition and quest for world dominance. That is all.

Yeah, I believe in rubbing of minds, and enlightenment. The sharing of ideas, trading philosophies is probably the best thing that could occur within our species. I encourage it. Trading however, is not the same as FORCING.

I am upset at the way in which it happened as far as RELIGION goes. Though it has happened the problem is many Africans KNOW the truth. They KNOW better but still don't do better. So they refuse to learn their lesson and now want to take up issues that do not concern them.

WTF are "African muslims" doing trying to create chaos over a movie most of them didn't even know existed until the Arabs started bitching? LOL.

In the words of Royal, "GTFOH fam". grin

We survived sooo many attempts to eradicate who we are and even our existence PROVING we are a strong race and look at what we continue to do..smh.

true!!

listen Jallow & others I am not sure if you are Muslim or not
but if I offend you in my rants, please let me know.

That is not my aim, but I am just telling it like I see it as far as the introduction of the religion to various parts of the world...BY FORCE
.
This is not about black or white for me, but about facts and truths...rights and wrongs.

Every race has blood on their hands when it comes to the Christianity/Judaism vs Islam
ordeal. I am ranting because of the toll it has taken on Africa and the fact that
people ignore facts.

If you are Muslim or Christian and you live your life the "right way" by minding your own
and loving your God/Self/Neighbors then its cool. I am not talking about you,
I am talking about the extremists..the "us against them" folks.

I agree with you here. The "be like us or we will kill you" is never good, no matter which religion is bringing it.
No share your religion in a peaceful way? Absolutely, go right a head.
Have respect for others religious views, and not mock it? Necessary.

As long as people treat others with respect and kindness, and try to show love instead of hate, I do not give a damn what they call their god(s) or not.

Well I am not going to say anything about Arabs because I do not want to be judged, but some Arabs sometimes like to think of themselves as the only "true" Muslims. It is hypocritical to do so because in the end we are all judged. If one wants to be a true upholder of any religion, they must treat others as equals and as their brothers/sisters.

Someone who truly practices their faith will never feel as if they are superior to another human being. False self-entitlement can lead someone to disaster.

As far as Somalians go, according to our dear friend Ayanle/Warya/Somalia3/Somalia4/Somalia5, etc. etc. etc. whatever name he uses on here, Somalians don't want to associate themselves with other Africans (not that I care), he personally would rather be Arab or Indian before being an African.
