Can any 1 tell me the religion of ALDOLF HITLER OF GERMANY ?

Before you mislead yourself into confusion!

Hitlers heritage was Christianity!

But here me and here me well: Hitlers wars was not in the name of Christ nor Christianity.
Hitler fought his wars as a German! He fought for his race!

His campaign was not to expand the Christian faith but to expand the dominion of the Germans.
He was not fighting the enemies of his religion but the enemies of his nation.

Hitlers passion was "Nazism" and not Christianity.

Hitlers motivation did not come from the words of Jesus, they were his own opinion.
He did not learn violence from the church.

yet, we have a situation where violence is preached by Imams! People move from mosques to go and attack innocent people because there was a call to fight for Allah!

I hope you get the difference?

We have christians who are armed robbers, cultists, rapists, murderers, etc.
Yet, none of these will claim they did all those for Christ Jesus, the Messiah!

The majority of the American soldiers are Christians, when they go to war, they are fighting for America and not for the Christ.

You are trying to establish that the killings in the name of Allah and his Islam is no different from the killings by Christians?
No sir?

The Americans fight for the selfish interest of the Americans.

Now tell me, which country is Al Qaeda fighting for?
Which country is Boko Haram fighting for?
What about the Taliban?

These people are fighting to see Sharia law enforced where ever they are.

MEND is made up of mostly Christians! Does that make you happy?
MEND killed and maimed the innocent.

But, did they do all these in the name of Jesus? Is it Christianity they want to spread?

Excuse me, how come that the religious violence in Nigeria is always about islam?

In George Orwell's, 1984 , it was stated, "Who controls
the past controls the future, who controls the present
controls the past."
Who is going to control the present -
fundamentalism or freedom? History is being
distorted by many preachers and politicians. They are
heard on the airwaves condemning atheists and
routinely claim Adolph Hitler was one. What a crock!
Hitler was a Roman Catholic, baptized into that religio-
political institution as an infant in Austria. He became a
communicant and an altar boy in his youth, and was
confirmed as a "soldier of Christ" in that church. The
worst doctrines of that church never left him. He was
steeped in its liturgy, which contained the words,
"perfidious Jew." This hateful statement was not
removed until 1961. Perfidy means treachery.
In his day, hatred of Jews was the norm. In great
measure it was sponsored by the two major religions of
Germany, Catholicism and Lutheranism. He greatly
admired Martin Luther, who openly hated the Jews.
Luther condemned the Catholic Church for its
pretensions and corruption, but he supported the
centuries of papal pogroms against the Jews. Luther
said, "The Jews deserve to be hanged on gallows seven
times higher than ordinary thieves," and "We ought to
take revenge on the Jews and kill them." "Ungodly
wretches" he calls the Jews in his widely read Table
Talk.
Hitler seeking power, wrote in Mein Kampf. "... I am
convinced that I am acting as the agent of our Creator.
By fighting off the Jews. I am doing the Lord's work."
Years later, when in power, he quoted those same
words in a Reichstag speech in 1938.
Three years later he informed General Gerhart Engel: "I
am now as before a Catholic and will always remain so."
He never left the church, and the church never left
him. Great literature was banned by his church, but his
miserable Mien Kampf never appeared on the Index of
Forbidden Books.
He was not excommunicated or even condemned by his
church. Popes, in fact, contracted with Hitler and his
fascist friends Franco and Mussolini, giving them veto
power over whom the pope could appoint as a bishop
in Germany, Spain and Italy. The three thugs agreed to
surtax the Catholics of their countries and send the
money to Rome in exchange for making sure the state
could control the church.
Those who would make Hitler an atheist should turn
their eyes to history books before they address their
pews and microphones. Acclaimed Hitler biographer,
John Toland, explains his heartlessness as follows: "Still
a member in good standing of the Church of Rome
despite detestation of its hierarchy, he carried within
him its teaching that the Jew was the killer of god. The
extermination, therefore, could be done without a
twinge of conscience since he was merely acting as the
avenging hand of god..."
Hitler's Germany amalgamated state with church.
Soldiers of the vermacht wore belt buckles inscribed
with the following: "Gott mit uns" (God is with us). His
troops were often sprinkled with holy water by the
priests. It was a real Christian country whose citizens
were indoctrinated by both state and church to blindly
follow all authority figures, political and ecclesiastical.
Hitler, like some of today's politicians and preachers,
politicized "family values." He liked corporal
punishment in home and in school. Jesus prayers
became mandatory in all schools under his
administration. While abortion was illegal in pre-Hitler
Germany he took it to new depths of enforcement,
requiring all doctors to report to the government the
circumstances of all miscarriages. He openly despised
homosexuality and criminalized it. If past is prologue,
we know what to expect if liberty becomes license.
As a young child, I remember my late father, Martin J.
Murphy, practicing a speech and loudly quoting the
following: "Light up the mountain. Bring out the wild
and fiery steed. Let it be known, that I, Gustavus, have
insulted the King." Thinking for yourself and speaking
your true thoughts - now that's a real family value.

Atiku said and I qoute "Those who make peaceful change impossible,make violent change inevitable"

Adam Ciroma "power must come back to the north or we will make Nigeria ungovernable"

Power had been in the north for 30 + x years.what did they do with it?

The Northern leaders Know they can use religion to garner supports and achieved political ends.

Sectarian intrest and islamic agenda is making Nigeria to implode.

But come to think of it mohamed must have been a terrorist .Because in the name of his god allah.

He started his movement with bandits attacking caravan bringing goods to mecca.

He bought down the existing system and introduced islam.

If only you can show me that Hitler waged his wars in the name of Christ the Messiah, that would be different.
Hitlers loyalty was to his Nazi party and to his German nation.

Did he tell you that he was destroying people in the name of his religion?

You are trying to say that since Hitler a christian did violence, then Shekau the leader of Boko Haram is also doing violence and there is no difference.

Here is the difference:
Hitler was not forcing anybody to convert to Christianity, Shekau and his Jihardists are killing people in the name of Allah and Islam. they are fighting a religious war. Hitlers war was not religious!

How did Mohammed conquer Medina? By word or by sword?
How did Usman Dan Fodio conquer Nothern Nigeria? By word or by sword?
Do you know the history of medina and the mecca pagans?

The pagans wanted to kill Mohammed(sa) because he was preaching one God to them so he migrated to Medina with his followers this is when Hijra started

The "Hijra" (Arabic: ﻫﺠﺮﺓ hijrah), also Hijrat or Hegira, is the migration or journey of the Islamic prophet Muhammad and his followers from Mecca to Medina between June 21 and July 2 in 622 CE.[3] Hijra of Muhammad In June 622 CE, warned of a plot to assassinate him, Muhammad secretly escaped out of Mecca with Abu Bakr.[4] Muhammad and his followers immigrated to the city of Yathrib, 320 kilometres (200 mi) north of Mecca, in several steps. Yathrib was soon renamed Madinat un-Nabi, literally "the City of the Prophet", but un-Nabi was soon dropped, so its name in English is Medina, meaning "the city".
www.en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hijra_(Islam)

The people of medina were expecting him they have accept the message of Islam before Mohammed(sa) migrate there(medina). Do research before you post rubbish/lies because Mohammed never use sword to conquer medina

In 1991, Renhard Bonke a minister of the Lord Jesus Christ, came to Kano to preach love and mercy.
What did Moslems do? They welcomed him with blood! Churches, men and women were burnt!
Read Bonke's account here: http://www.joymag.co.za/article.php?id=328


In 1996, the head of Gideon Akaluka was removed from his body, put on a spike and was paraded on the streets of Kano.
His crime: a woman in the yard he lived was said to had used pages of a torn Koran to clean up her baby. She had defiled thje Holy book. When the Islamic police came, they met and arrested Akaluka!
They know the north is a sharia state why preaching christianity to them in their land?

Killing them is wrong but they should know better before preaching their cross god to them
that Islam is peaceful religion is a big and fat lie.
Read the Koran and see Allah's command for the faithfuls to hate and fight the infidels!
quote out verses if there is one and I will give you the terror of jehova in the bible smiley

While Christ thought us to Love our enemies and pray for them, Mohammed thought his followers to fight wars!
Christ died for his followers, Mohammed's followers died for him!
hahaha, Jesus of the bible preached love? and he called the jews fools, dogs, generation of vipers he even said "he didn't bring peace but sword" grin

Jesus didn't die for anybody he was not even crucify.

Islam has been a source of terror in Nigeria and not not only in Nigeria but the world over.

Study the Iranian Islamic uprising. Anywhere Islam touches, it brings nothing but blood!
Read history on how Islam spread all over the world. It is blood, bloody and terror!
go read about hitler and the fanatics roman catholics crusaders

Nigerian, South West Moslems should not be deceived! soon, their Moslem youths will be radicalized and then the terror will reach them!

still on it!

This is an extract in an interview by vanguard news, the Coordinator of the Northern Emancipation Network, Mal. Abdul-Azeez Sulaiman, says that the ordinary people in the North can no longer follow the political elite blindly. He also warns that the North could suffer after 2015 if it continues to antagonize President Goodluck Jonathan as it is not in a position to win the presidency in the next general elections. REad again


Would you not consider the battle for 2015 as a distraction to government both at the federal and state levels? It is like we are going to waste two years politicking, rather than allowing those in government to concentrate on developmental issues.

The issue of government, to my understanding and the experience I have, is that only those who are in government are concerned with government. People outside are only concerned with how to remove that government and replace it; so as far as this gang of emerging opposition is concerned, it is not a distraction. It is left for government to focus on what is before it.[size=38pt] For the opposition[/size], the government should not even work. So it cannot be said to be a distraction, opposition is allowed everywhere. Read again the yooo babba crew and their assosiate shocked

Some people have raised issues about the quality of the membership of APC which we all know is a merger of the ACN, ANPP and CPC. Some people say what happened in 2011 where the alliance between CPC and ACN did not produce the desired result of fielding a successful candidate, especially at the federal level, will repeat itself. Do you see the APC as an alternative platform to the PDP?

When we talk of the APC, I would rather separate two issues, whether the merger is even going to work is one thing, producing a government that is better than the PDP is another .

About the merger, we all know how it started as an alliance in 2011 but failed practically and theoretically. And the move continued to produce the merger that is now the APC. If you look at the partners, you will discover that the marriage may not last.

When we look at the composition of the ANPP, the same people that could not contain former Head of State, General Muhammadu Buhari, in 2007 and 2011, he (Buhari) had to leave to form the CPC. So, at what point are they telling us that they have reconciled their differences. And Buhari’s differences with the ANPP were fundamental.

Now, if you look at the A CN, we all know that it has an articulate political agenda, and the Yoruba may be more politically conscious to a point where the Yoruba voter may be redirected to vote the APC. But in the North, the problem is that they might not have the consciousness to adopt the APC as a common platform.

Why do you say so?

That is what is happening now. You can see that with the coming of the APC, the Yoruba people said they do not need the presidency. When the APC held a meeting in the South-west, the Yoruba clearly said they do not need the presidency.

So, the general feeling is that Buhari may pick the APC presidential ticket and we all know that Atiku would never jettison his personal ambition for anybody; he will definitely contest that election (2015).

So, you can see already the North is divided. And, before the end of the year, we are going to have another platform where some of the breakaway governors could contest because they are not actually going ahead with Atiku. All the northern governors that walked out of the PDP National Convention with Atiku are not his bed fellows.

If you look at their antecedents, all of them are Obasanjo boys. They have never had anything in common with Atiku. But Atiku will eventually leave the PDP because of his personal ambition. He knows that it is going to be almost impossible for him to pick the PDP ticket and he must contest. And he cannot join the APC; so he got his associates to register the PDM which has, all along, been the political organisation which he inherited from General Yar’Adua.

Now, instead of him to just move out, to his PDM, he has to cause commotion. The mainstream PDP would be looking at the crack in the party but that is not the end of it. Whatever the reconciliation effort may be, Atiku is not going back. He will eventually end up in PDM, where he will contest the presidential election.

Could give us an insight into the game plan of the politicians in the North who are against the present government that led to all of these?

What we have today is a conscious North and the northern political elite. Before now, wherever the elite went, the crowd followed them. But, now, it is no longer the same. People have started thinking that they should not allow the elite take them wherever they go.

By the virtue of my position as a journalist and Coordinator of the Northern Emancipation Network, I have had the opportunity of meeting some of these northern elite to discuss.

Most of us in the Northern Emancipation Network and our affiliates do not see the necessity of the North insisting on the presidency in 2015 or any time in the near future. Our reason is that if holding central power is the key to the success of a people, then the North ought to have been the most successful region in Nigeria. If that yardstick is true, the Igbo ought to have been the most backward because they have not in practical terms had power at the centre.

The North held power for the most part of Nigeria’s existence as an independent nation yet we are the most backward.
[size=28pt]
The Igbo that have not held power is by far the most advanced technogically and economically.[/size] From oga mallam; not ikeyman [/b]op u hear

Why? It is either power at the centre is not enough to develop a people or the northern political elite misused it

Some of them who told the nation that our public infrastructure cannot work even if the entire public funds were invested in them are the same people now telling us that they can make the facilities work under privatization. These is the type of people we had as leaders from the North and they are the same people who are transforming either through their children or their wives or brothers. [b]Read again


Some northerners of your class sound very bitter about Nigeria than people of Igbo extraction because, just as you said, the region held power for a long time and the power was meant for the holders alone.

The motive is personal. It has nothing to do with the larger North. The northern political elite believe the region is their personal asset.[size=28pt] REad again[/size] They started this rotation thing when they made Obasanjo president. Because it has not been the entire North handling the region’s political situation, it reclaimed power in 2007 under Yar’Adua.

The North had the opportunity to place itself appropriately to reclaim power after President Jonathan if it had played the right card but it played the wrong card when Yar’Adua was sick. None of these elders came out to do the right thing by asking Jonathan, who was then Yar’Adua’s deputy, to take over. Instead, they fought this man until God took power and handed it to him. [size=28pt]READ AGAIN[/size]

The elite did that claiming they were doing it for the North. Some of us were talking then but our voice was not loud.


The impression you are creating is that the crisis we are witnessing especially in the North was precipitated by the elite.

What crisis? We have political and security challenges.

By your reckoning, has it anything to do with the struggle for power come 2015?

It may not have been directly incited by the northern elite but it must have been caused by their actions or inaction. For instance, in Yobe and Borno states where the insurgency started, you have situations where by some people were governors and, after their tenure, they moved on to the Senate and their wives into the House of Reps or were given other government appointments as if they were the only families in their states.

Go round the North and see the type of schools our children attend. Today we have a generation that is no longer prepared to be slaves to the northern elite.


Six years ago, if someone tells you that a northerner will pick up a gun go to a mosque or church to kill people, you may not believe. But now it is happening; the elite created it either knowingly or unknowingly.

The Emir of Kano wept in the public three times because of the activities of these boys. The Emir of Zauzzau is protected by military men in his palace.

What is your group all about?


The agenda is to enlighten the northern population that it is time to tell the elite that what they have taken is enough. We are no longer prepared to be slaves. They have enslaved our grandparents, parents and we are not going to allow them to enslave us and their children enslave our children. As it has been for generations, they are now, seeing a different northern picture.

It is no longer business as usual where you just come out and say we are northerners
.

Are you saying that those who claim to be the northern leaders are not representing you?

Categorically we have said it. Maybe they are older than we are; so they call themselves elders. They could be older but they are not statesmen. It is the same people that have brought division in the north

So op with all that political sophistication u protrude the north with; this is it! right? This is wat it trisect to abi?

It either u have lived abroad for far too long or u are just out of touch. wat do u know self?

once again like i re-instate u thread is useless as far as Nigeria is concern; u are simply out of touch mannnnnnnnnnnn!;

Prepare against them whatever arms

that you may terrorize them. They
are your enemy and Allah’s enemy.”

Jesus Says:
Matthew 5:44:
44But I tell you, Love your enemies
and pray for those who persecute
you
Luke 6:35
But love your enemies and be kind
and do good so that someone
derives benefit from them] and lend,
expecting and hoping for nothing in
return but considering nothing as
lost and despairing of no one; and
then your recompense (your reward)
will be great (rich, strong, intense,
and abundant), and you will be sons
of the Most High, for He is kind and
charitable and good to the
ungrateful and the selfish and
wicked.
Peace who preach peace

50 But I have a baptsm to undergo, and what constraint I am under until it is completed! 51 Do you think I came to bring peace on earth? No, I tell you, but division. 52 From now on there will be five in one family divided against each other, three against two and two against three. 53 They will be divided, father against son and son against father, mother against daughter and daughter against mother, mother-in-law against daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law against mother-in-law.”

In the Quran those verse you quoted are during when muslims are being attacked...but Islam never preaches killing innocent souls

"If thou dost stretch thy hand against me, to slay me, it is not for me to stretch my hand against thee to slay thee: for I do fear God, the cherisher of the worlds. (Quran, 5:28)"

"God does not forbid you from showing kindness and dealing justly with those who have not fought you about religion and have not driven you out of your homes. God loves just dealers. (Quran, 60:8 )"

"Let there be no compulsion in religion: Truth stands out clear from error: whoever rejects evil and believes in Allah hath grasped the most trustworthy handhold, that never breaks. And Allah heareth and knoweth all things. ( Quran, 2:256)"

"Again and again will those who disbelieve, wish that they had bowed (to God's will) in Islam. Leave them alone, to enjoy (the good things of this life) and to please themselves: let (false) hope amuse them: soon will knowledge (undeceive them). ( Quran, 15:2-3)"

"Say, 'The truth is from your Lord': Let him who will believe, and let him who will, reject (it):......(Quran, 18:29)"

Islam is peace! smiley
