If the black stone is just a meteorite with no significance to muslims/Islam - why did they build the Kaaba to house it, and why do muslims die to kiss it Who houses a meteorite in their place of worship and kiss it?? grin Perhaps, Russians should take a cue from Meccans and house their meteorites somewhere and start kissing them as well, no?? undecided undecided

And what was Kaaba before it was destroyed and turned into a Mosque?? Kaaba was a shrine for pagan deities of the Arabs!!! So why didn't Muslims build their Mosque elsewhere?? Why there and why keep the black stone there




You will never hear Christians talk about this because they've got selective amnesia like indoctrinated Muslims... There's no freaking Israel or Israelites - everything was based on allegories and stories... That's like alluding to Okonkwo from "Things Fall Apart" as someone who actually existed on this planet...

I reiterate: go read Galatians 4 to know if Abraham, Hagar, Hannah, Ishmael, and Isaac walked this planet or not.. Apostle Paul already answered your question there when he was speaking to the Galatians...

Dude, I totally disagree with you on this.

Bobandgreat: Soyinka, u r an etheist. No need to b diplomatic here. Boko Haram have indepth knowledge of Islam thats y they kill and maim. Those muslims who r not violent yet have not attained that level of understanding of the Koran. They are like a dormant volcano, at the right chemical and physical condition it will explode.

Your comment shows you have no knowledge of the holy quran. Let me tell you what you don't want to hear-Boko Haram guys are not muslims and I will provide proofs
Note that anyone who goes against the teachings of the quran is not a Muslim
1.Boko Haram says GEJ must become a Muslim but the Quran says

“Let there be no
compulsion in religion" (Qur'an 2:256)
“Say, ‘The truth is from Your Lord.’ Let
him who will, believe, and let him who
will, reject it” (Qur'an 18:29).
2.Boko Haram kills innocent citizens but the Quran says
"whoever slays a soul, unless it be
for manslaughter or for mischief in
the land, it is as though he slew all
men; and whoever keeps it alive, it
is as though he kept alive all
men" (al-Maeda/The Food, 32)

"Nor take
life -- which Allaah has made sacred
-- except for just cause. And if
anyone is slain wrongfully, we have
given his heir authority (to demand
retaliation or to forgive): but let
him not exceed bounds in the
matter of taking life, for he is
helped (by the Law)." [Quran 17:33]

Islam started before Muhammed, just as what we now call Christianity started before Jesus Christ.... Those two prophets were just "legends" who popularised them...

The term Christianity came during and after Jesus'time !
The teachings of Jesus and his life style were not known to men before his coming except the prophesies that went forth before HIS arrival on earth. No wonder the Jews and strict followers and teachers of the laws of Moses thot he was speaking heresy and blaspheming God !
Abraham was not a muslim neither was he a christian !

If you did a little bit of history, you would find out that the moon was the most predominant way of calculating time.

Lol, the second part is best left ignored, it only shows the kind of ignorance, we are talking about... like i said, get out more, read some books

No other ancient civilisation/people cared that much about the moon apart from muslims/arabs... The Egyptians and Greeks cared more about the sun - go figure... And nothing else gives a more accurate time than the sun... We all know what daybreak is because of the Sun... The Sun basically governs everything we do - that's why almost all ancient cultures worshipped the sun..

Was Bilal a black Ethiopian - Yes or No?? And where did prophet Muhammed travel to before knowing about Islam

So, Apostle Paul is a fraud now, no??

If Abraham, Isaac, Hagar, and Hannah - how come there's no proof that they walked this planet apart from the Torah and bible Heck, the Egyptians kept a record of everything in history in the pyramid hieroglyphics, how come an Abraham who actually lived in Egypt never made it to the Egyptian history books?? Not even enigmatic Hagar and her son who were Egyptians...

My opinions of paul are not great to put it mildly.

If you built your entire conspiracy theory on that, then it is very weak... So we have records of every single person that lived in egypt?... Hagar was a slave, wasn't she?

I'm just saying there was a religion before what's called Christianity today... That's why the bible has both old and new testaments... The word Judaism is just as new as the word Christianity - everything came from the original Torah...

There's an original Torah where all the Abramahic religions(Judaism, Islam, and Christianity) branched out from... There are still African tribes on the continent who still carry this Torah around...

Buzugee's people(black Hebrews) also carry this Torah around.... grin

The Islamic scholars with good intentions did not do justice to the below in the quran so the others(Boko & the rest) took advantage of it !
[b]Sura 4:101-''Regarding infidels,they are the Muslim's inveterate enemies''
Sura 9:5-''Muslims are to arrest them,besiege them and lie in ambush everywhere for them.Seieze them(unbelievers)and put them to death wherever you find them,kill them wherever you find them.
Sura 4:90-''Seek out the enemies of Islam relentlesly
Sura 2:193-''Fight them until Islam reign supreme

Sura 9:39-''If a muslim does not go to war Allah will kill him

Sura 22:78-''Fight for the cause of Allah with the devotion due to him
Sura 9:123-''Make war with the unbelievers who live around you
Sura 48:29-''Be ruthless to unbelievers
Sura 8:69-''Enjoy the good things you have gained through fighting
Sura 6:152 Kill any person you wish if it be a just cause
Sura 61:3 Allah love those who fight for his cause
Sura 5:34 any one who fights against Allah or renounces islam in favor of another religion shall be put to death or crucified or have his hand and feet cut off alternative sides Sura-5:34
Sahih Al-Bukhari-''Whoever changes his islamic religion,kill him.
Quran 9:5 Slay the idolaters wherever you find them,and take them captives and besiege them and lie in wait for them in every ambush.
Quran 69:30-37-''Take him and fetter and expose him to hell fire
Quran 8:12-'' I will instill terror into the hearts of the unbelievers,smite ye above their necks and smite all their finger tips of them
Quran 5:33-'' They should be murdered or crucified or their hands and their feet should be cut off on opposite sides

The sun is actually better for calculating time... When the sun rises, you know what period of the day it is... When it sets, you also know what period of the say it is... The sun also shows the seasons in every year - it enables you to know if it's winter, autumn, summer, or spring...

The Ethiopians probably educated everyone about the Abrahamaic religions... Abyssinia(Ethiopia) is like the place where God always tell everyone to seek refuge in the bible when they get in trouble... You can check the bible to find out....

Saudi Arabians never knew nor heard anything about Islam till prophet Muhammed's sojourn to Ethiopia... So where did he learn about the religion??
The sun is only better to calculate days. It has nothing on the moon where monthly calculations are concerned. The moon is more accurate.
About the Saudis and Islam, they knew about monotheism and a divine God called Allah before Mohammad. Saudis knew about Islam after the first revelation came to Mohammed S.A.W in the cave from the angel Jubril A.S and not from the Ethiopians as you put it.

I repeat, I don't do conspiracies - I deal with facts... Hagar was an Egyptian and she birthed the father of the Arabs(according to Abrahamic religions)... So, how come the Egyptian never recorded anything about these great Egyptians(both Hagar and Ishmael)... Heck, they have no records of Abraham as well... grin Even Moses, his great great great great grand son, who allegedly told the Egyptians to let his people go is missing on the Egyptian pyramid hieroglyphics.... grin

The lunar calendar was the basis of counting time for the ancient Chinese, Babylonians, Hindus, Greeks, and Jews.

There are no records of the prophet ever going to ethiopia or any where in Africa. Bilal was a black ethiopian slave, who accepted Islam and was a very honoured muslim

Most of u might hv seen Family Guy or American Dad (a cartoon Tvseries), it is filled with several episodes depicting Jesus & God in wrng ways. so hilarious u only aware of ur self after a hard laugh. Gbam something about Mohammed and Islam comes for second and there's wide violent protest all over the middle east, northern Africa & Nigeria. Then a clerics sits on his mat and issues a fatwua (dnt kno the correct spelling bt u kno wat am taking abt) demanding for producers to b killed. wtf RELIGION OF PEACE really really?
You Saying BH are fanatics hiding under islam, y can't the hide under any other religion?? How about Alqeada, Taliban, Alshabab ??
