MsDarkSkin: Not trying to be cruel... But Religion is uncivilized...That is what destroyed Africa. Just read up on the history of Christianity and Islam. |

PAGAN 9JA: 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! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U5qYhmf-boE&oref=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fresults%3Fsearch_query%3Dafricans%2Bburning%2Bwitch%26oq%3Dafricans%2Bburning%2Bwitch%26gs_l%3Dyoutube.3...142.518.0.948.3.3.0.0.0.0.0.0..0.0...0.0...1ac.1. 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". 1 Like |

PAGAN 9JA: 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. |

KingMichael777: Although I have my own personal gripe with you (tho minor ) I CO-SIGN 1000% 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! 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". 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. |

JallowBah: 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. |

BelaMorena: 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. |

JallowBah: that is exactly what i am saying. manipulation and forcing is not cool. that is not what i mean by exchange of ideas. in that aspect, i agree with fula. but his being western AND islamic and pretending that he is "all around african" on the flip side i what i can't stand. the denial factor on both sides is what annoys me. |
Re: Nigerians And Other Africans Must Stop Bowing Down To Westerners And Middle East by Nobody: 8:06pm On Sep 16, 2012 |
KingMichael777: the ignorance of the locals is the root of the problem, but as you and i are saying the introduction of organized religion DEFINITELY was the icing on the cake. From then there was no going back. |
Re: Nigerians And Other Africans Must Stop Bowing Down To Westerners And Middle East by PAGAN9JA(m): 9:04pm On Sep 16, 2012 |
KingMichael777: hey why do you keep saying organized religion cant Pagans/Buddhists, etc. be orgainized why do you underestimate our capabilities of become organised and developed. Ancient Geek Religion was quite organized and today Hinduism/Buddhism are the 3rd & 4th largest religions in the world (combined, they are almost close in demographics to islam), and they are extremely organized with comitties, boards, organizations, etc., for their religious activities. its not just you, i have noticed this among many Nairalanders. it is like you fellows are perpetually scared to say "Abrahamist Religions". |

BelaMorena: 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. |
