Na you talk am. If Muslims didn't kill one that violated the sanctity of their place of worship whilst they had the power to do so, you had better learn from them how they managed that and seek to replicate it elsewhere where ignorance and poverty hold sway instead of seeking to bash Islam to make you feel good about yourself. Isn't that what anyone who wants to truly save lives should do?

Ignorance and poverty eh? Osama Bin Laden - was he ignorant and poor? Abdul Muttalab who attended UCL and had rich parents - was he ignorant and poor too? Libyan Muslims have a higher standard of living and education than Nigerians - by what measure are they 'poor and ignorant'?

The fact that some Muslims in the Southwest (who aren't regarded as true Muslims by those up North anyways) didn't kill someone is due more to their stronger cultural sense of reason (being Yorubas) than any Muslim restraint or sense of reason.

Come up with new excuses please - maybe it's the harsh desert sunlight making them go mad. undecided

That wasn't my point, my point is that we need to stop over overemphasizing every blowback that happens between two 'people' who used to have a cosy relationship - that later turned sour...

This statement is quite daft - was the movie a US Sponsored movie? What exactly is the souring of relationship between Libya and the US that you're talking about? The same Libya that is literally throwing open its doors to attract US investment?


Is Islam a bad religion? I don't think so because all the Muslims I know are decent people...

This is a poorly thought out way to come to a conclusion - knowing decent Muslims does not mean it is Islam that makes them decent. I would assume this to be elementary logic, but apparently it isn't.


Are the extremists in Islam bad?? Obviously, based on their antecedents... But why do we demonise a religion of about 1.5billion people because of the barbaric nature of the few extremists??

Define 'a few'.

If the religion of the other 5+ billion people doesn't generate as many 'extremists', why should we refrain from examining what it is about Islam that generates this excessive level of extremism?


Isolated people would always find solace in an isolated belief system - and it's not surprising that most of these black kids are finding solace in Islam...

Islam is not isolated - by your own admission it's a religion of over 1.5billion people - how is it isolated?

Stop jumping about, that post was in response to your reference to Northern Nigeria.

As for Osama and the likes- the issues have been overflogged on Nairaland. Was he not working for the CIA at first? Your style of argument is poor. Read the thread on the killing of the US Ambassador as well.

shymexx: Food for thought:

You guys keep demonising Islam by saying Islam is bad, but do you know Islam is the fastest growing religion among black youths in diaspora?? The more you isolate Islam, the more Islam becomes more appealing to isolated black kids in all the slums in black diaspora...

The trend is scary because these youths believe Islam is the religion that would save the world and anything white people don't like, is definitely for black people... And these youths are not even following moderate Islam but the extreme ideology... The future is scary!!

I'm not into religion but isolation has its consequences... I live in peace with my believe in God and not religion - but it's dangerous to isolate people and their faith/belief system.. This problematic trend has to stop..
Why don't you just admit that you are muslim and quit lying about it in all your posts. And yes, islam in the fastest growing religion. Only in your silly dreams and in your brethrens' almajiri infested north, somalia and sudan.

You lot are really justifying and supporting the killings...No wonder Boko Haram has the guts to do wht they do

[size=13pt] Oh pleaseeeee !!!! Justify what ? ? I don't support violence in any form and not all Muslims support it either even though the perpetrators claim to be acting on commands from the Koran.
You and I know the Christians will NEVER react in the same way with violent protests and killings; every 5-year old kid knows this so the comparison with "Angels and Demons" is baseless.
If you know for sure the volcano is going to erupt, don't go knocking on its cone and justify your actions by saying , "I knocked on the other one and nothing happened". My point remains, that they very well knew what the uproar would be and the level to which it would escalate so they should have left Moha' in peace especially when innocent people will be the ones to suffer the consequences.

The movie was made in the US.. And nah, the same Libya, the USA helped in training the Islamists and weaponising them for regime change... Did you say throwing its doors open to attract US investments?? - you're a joker!! Why won't they throw it open after the same US and NATO bombed all the infrastructures in the country and installed a puppet there, huh $150 billion Libyan money is still in America lol...

I won't be surprised if the yanks end up losing out to the Chinese and the Russians in Libya, like they did in Iraq - bunch of re.tarded neo-liberals... Yanks act first and think later.. undecided undecided

This is a poorly thought out way to come to a conclusion - knowing decent Muslims does not mean it is Islam that makes them decent. I would assume this to be elementary logic, but apparently it isn't.

You're Yoruba and Yoruba Muslims are roughly 50% of Yoruba population - but have you ever seen a Yoruba terrorist?? How come Persians don't go about blowing up everything? - I don't need to remind you that Persians are Muslims.... How come the members of the Nation of Islam are not terrorists? These are all Muslim groups!!

Define 'a few'.

If the religion of the other 5+ billion people doesn't generate as many 'extremists', why should we refrain from examining what it is about Islam that generates this excessive level of extremism?

There are extremists in other religions and the extremism is well documented... The philosophy of the Aryan nation was lifted from the bible... The KKKs, IRA, Kony and LRA, Timothy McVeigh, Norway bomber, Christian extremists in India, Pastor Terry Jones and his annual burning of the Quran etc..

Zionists are the extremist faction of Judaism - and you and I know how they brutal and barbaric they're...

Islam is not isolated - by your own admission it's a religion of over 1.5billion people - how is it isolated?

The constant demonisation of Islam means isolation...

Isla Jenmi: I don't know why people don't want to understand that all these terrorist are wicked people doing their evil acts in the name of Islam, people should not commit sins by insulting our religion, these people are people without religion because what they are doing is forbidden by Islam and they are not acting according to Islam or any other religion, they are extremist, people like them are not Muslims because they are not acting according to the Quran or the ways of our holy Peophet Muhammed (S.A.W) and we are sincerely against them because they are bringing all sorts of insults on us, plus i cant critize christian or Christianity because of some people committing evil act under the name of the religion i.e pastors raping and the rest because nobody except God is in a position to judge..please it hurts to see my religion insulted because of extremist who we do not recognize as muslims ...please insult the people committing the act...not the religion...thanks

Very well spoken!

We should not all lose our heads. Anger should be directed instead at the heartless minority who clearly are hiding under the guise of religion to perpetrate this mindless evil!

Please let us desist to refer to such people as "Christian", "Muslim" or "Buddhist" etc. because clearly they are not - "terrorists" thats all they are!

2Mekus: I watched a film (on TV) produced by some Muslims depicting Jesus Christ as having not died but changed into Judas Iscariot and escaped his captors. Not many people knew about this movie because Christians did not run mad killing and maiming innocent souls as a result.

It is written. "Vengeance is mine," said the Lord. "I will recompense." Why can't they allow their god fight his battle?

yea,,, i think this movie 'DAVINCI CODE' some years ago reaveled some stuff about jesus christ had a wife and some few things about xtian,, did the xtians go mad cos of tht and started killing people?,,,, i think ignorance and illeteracy is wht is making them fighting for their God..

There was a film about Jesus Christ where He was depicted as a fornicator or a sex mate of Mary Magdalene, how many people were killed? How many people left their jobs, businesses to protests or to riots? How many embassies were burnt? Some of you sincere Muslims may never join these evil groups in the name of religion. Why can't they allow Allah to fight for them if the Allah has power? Even those who worship demons don't come our openly to revenge to anyone but they consult their idols with hot drinks, etc to go on a revenge mission some times it works, why not Muslims, if the Allah they worship or Prophet Mohammed they respect was powerful . I don't think Prophet Mohammed will be happy where ever he is when blood are been spilled on his name.

Stoopid christian talking trash as usual.
I can bet that 98% of the mumus flapping their lips here about Islam are ibos and yorubas.
They would unite to abuse Islam and still face themselves tomorrow with bigger insults.
Foolish people! Why don't you simply face your warrant and concentrate on your religion that would give you salvation instead of taking it upon yourselves to insult God, the prophet and the Quran, would God give you extra blessing for the insults? Or are you also fighting for your god and taking it personal like the fanatical muslims.
I wonder how some silly people would justify insult to Allah, do you abuse Olorun or Chineke when fighting yourselves, if you want to deceive yourselves that Allah does not mean God, what then is the arabic expression for God in arabic or hausa bible?
We respect prophet Isa and I won't take chance, I would rather face my Islam than risking offending God in abusing Jesus.
