What's the difference between a Temple and a Church What do they do there Are both places not where people worship their God and practice their religion??

Are you this dumb or just feigning it??

tawa89: the jewish temple is called a synagogue and not a Church. A church is an assembly of christians. The word 'christians' was used in Antioch and became popular in the 2nd century. So how did Christ go to 'church' went he wasnt even a Christian .LOL u are funny tho. Comic relief i tell ya * pardon my errors no time to proof read*

tawa89: even the Muslim dude knows the difference between a Church and a Synagogue . Between, stop using abusive words and argue maturedly .

freakyamanda: The truth is that for every violent muslim, there are several peaceful muslims. Even though there is violence in many muslim nations, like afghanistan, iraq etc, there is also peace in other islamic nations like dubai, qatar, malaysia and turkey. The hypocrisy of many christians is just stunning. I am a christian and I will see the fact and speak it anywhere I go. Most of the violence is politically motivated and anyone either christian or muslim sees it easy to justify his evil actions by religion because that is how he can whip up sentiments among his own people. the problem is that many moslems are uneducated and so are largely ignorant while many christians have education because of the western legacy. What we should focus on is to try and educate more moslems about life, including their religion rather than fanning the flames of war. Powerful people on both sides are scheming to perpetrate themselves in power by casting the other religion as evil. Wake up my people. Islam is not synonymous with evil and it will never be. Christians have also commited evil in their history. Check the holocaust and the crusades. It is the moral responsibility of people with conscience to identify good or evil wherever they see it and say it as it is, not defining everything in terms of religion.

If you still think Islam is evil, then I forbid you to go to Dubai and other beautiful arab states.

maclatunji: Ironically, many of them are quick to dash to Dubai, Malaysia and even Qatar to live under Muslim rule. Their hypocrisy is deep. I call this phenomenon the Complicit Victim Syndrome (CVS).

deols: OMG!
Can't even follow anymore.

But I must say that Shymmex's angle is so not it..well after d first 2 pages.

AbdH:
Where were you when masquerades were killing Muslims? Were all the actions of reverend King preached in the bible? Your understanding of Islam is just like boko haram's.

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.

The muslim guy has no argument - he's just trying to save face after Saudi Arabia and the black stone in Kaaba have been outed... There's nothing holy in kissing a meteorite

firstolalekan:

STOP UR IGNORANCE PLS.
IF U WANT TO KNOW ABOUT ISLAM, GO READ THE HOLY QURAN.

maclatunji:

At bolded, we know. Read this:

Volume 2, Book 26, Number 66
Narrated 'Abis bin Rabia: Umar came near the
Black Stone and kissed it and said "NO
DOUBT, I KNOW THAT YOU ARE A STONE AND
CAN NEITHER BENEFIT ANYONE NOR HARM
ANYONE. Had I not seen Allah's Apostle
kissing you I would not have kissed you."

Volume 2, Book 26, Number 675:
Narrated Zaid bin Aslam from his father who
said: "Umar bin Al-Khattab addressed the
Corner (Black Stone) saying, 'BY ALLAH! I
KNOW THAT YOU ARE A STONE AND CAN
NEITHER BENEFIT NOR HARM. Had I not seen
the Prophet touching (and kissing) you, I
would never have touched (and kissed) you.'
Then he kissed it and said, 'There is no reason
for us to do Ramal (in Tawaf) except that we
wanted to show off before the pagans, and
now Allah has destroyed them.' 'Umar added,
'(Nevertheless), the Prophet did that and we
do not want to leave it (i.e. Ramal).'"

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...

Besides wat u just stated above, look at dis part critically,

"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]

U see, d quran stated dat life should not be taken "except for just cause". Wat then is ur definition of "just cause", since, d quran did not actually specify, "just cause" could be seen and has been seen as getting rid of unbelievers (christian), therein is where the misconception lies. D tin is this, d quran did not categorically say that taking life was bad, that is where the problem started, the quran merely gave room for excuses, that is why someone did a cartoon mocking the prophet Mohammed somewhere in Germany nd violence ensued nd Nigerians wanted to start theirs, dat misconception dat slandering the prophet (which is wrong by the way), is cause enough to slaugter the perpetrators ( nd their likes, because nothing concern us nah). Am not suggesting anytin, its just how I see it.

tbaba1234:

There are punishments for crimes like murder in the sharia that carry the death penalty... That is a just cause... This can only be carried out by the state. It says taking a life is a crime as great as killing the whole of humanity.

An individual muslim does not have the right to retaliate or attack a person. He only has the right to self defence. This is clear from the sharia. Those powers only belong to the state.

People can express their displeasure without destroying things, that goes against the sharia. A person has to be convicted of a crime first.

m.k.o2005:

Can i kill trying to self defend my self ?
God help us

AbdH:
Don't kill. You can always look at the assailant in admiration until he kills you.
Jokes apart, if you cherish your life, you should do anything to stay alive even if you have to kill someone who wants to kill you.
That is 'self defence'.

m.k.o2005:

Can i kill trying to self defend ?
God help us

tbaba1234: ^ 1. There is a punishment for killing anyone under the sharia and it is decided by the dead person's family. Christians in an Islamic state have an autonomous legal system so their crimes are not judged by the sharia. We do not have any true Islamic state in the real sense of the word in existence today.

2. The classical and historical understanding by muslims is one that has to do with what the justice system allows.

3. How many time do large protests happen in Nigeria without violence? June 12 protests, Abacha presidency protests..etc
