Thdra: Terrorist....? Чơυ all are HATERS!Yes we are haters. But knw dat what breeds hate is hate. It is the actions of some non-muslims that actually provoke violent reaction from muslims. 4 e.g the day i resumed work, i told my manager i was a muslim n he said 'ehen, na una dey nak head for ground abi?' and he laughed cynically. Another woman told me ''hope u no bring bomb?'' I just smiled their comments away bt it can't be like that 4 long. I'm nt justifying hate, but trying to let u know that it's nt a monopoly of muslims. 5 Likes |

What's the point of this story? I don't understand. Firstly, terrorists activities by Muslims are exaggerated as the Op would have us believe. These barbaric act inspired by their religion affect real people. Maybe the media and rest of us should shush up so that muslims fragile feelings won't be hurt. Secondly, I believe lots of non muslims in majority muslim areas would prefer to get the stares muslims get as form of persecution than the usual death (eg for apostasy) muslims usually dish out to others.

Op, personally I have nothin against Muslims. I don't judge people based on their religious affiliations, but on the content of their character. My best friend is a Muslim. However, looking at the activities in Islamic regions, I.e northern Nigeria, south Sudan, northern Africa, the middle east...one is tempted to conclude that Islam has affinity for violence and extremism. How do you explain the harsh treatment of women? trying to kill anyone that abandons the Islamic faith? or better still the intolerance that exists in this regions? you may think alittle and act differently because you have recieved a measure of western education. But those who are Muslims through and through have this negative traits. pls do not blame the world for its view of Islam , it is what Islam has potrayed itself to be 8 Likes |

In the Quran, Allah says the reward for killing an innocent soul is straight to hell, not just hell sef, down the pit of hell even soldiers will account for their actions. So why would a Muslim knowing fully well that the quickest way to hell fire is killing and would now still go bomb innocent souls. Believe me if u read about hell fire in the Quran, killing a snake sef go fear you. |

@ least hitler dddnt kill in the name of Jesus...sorry but from clips and life experiences i have heard, an average muslim terrosrist kills while shouting 'allah, akbar'.....and also hitler killed everyone and even more jews. Bush also did not kill in the name of God....he attacked for his own selfish reason..some of the islamic countries are more dangerous and if they had the means, they would have wrought more nefarious activities...or what will u ascribe to the iranian president saying that if he had the means, he would wipe out the infidel Israelites from the face of the earth? and so many islamic nations were in agreement with iran also. http://www.theguardian.com/world/2005/oct/27/israel.iran https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_9zcElqetqk Freelancer007: |

First of all, Nice write up, I must say. And I'm sure you meant well. I would tell a short experience. I happen to be in a co-educational institution, multi-social, and multi-religious. The expectation was that we were going to mingle and socialize, make friends and study. It so happened that the muslim students association was not comfortable with this trend and therefore spoke to their faithfuls, especially the muslim sisters to be weary of, and if possible shut down all communication with those of us of other religions, (need I say christians). I was simply taken aback by that. And this presents the whole outlook of islam as regards it's interaction with the non-muslim world. It's the same the world all over. It's difficult to see a muslim who would speak against a terrorist act until it begins to touch them. Take boko haram.. We only started hearing muslims complain when it began to affect their own. The war ongoing in the middle east is another example. Hamas fires rockets into israeli territory, no muslim puts up a "stop this madness" dp; israel retaliates, and every muslim says "this is genocide". I think muslims have to start telling themselves the truth. I agree that not all muslims are bad, truthfully. I have some very dear to my heart muslim friends. To simply say that Islam is a religion of peace would be being economical with the truth. When we know that Jihad is an islamic tenet (and I'm not referring to personal jihad here, I mean military jihad). What do we make of that? The truth remains. Not every muslim is a terrorist, but every terrorist is a muslim. 8 Likes |

Good write-up Muhsin. This is the second one I've read on nairaland drawing attention to the discrimination of Muslims in multi cultural environments How about your next write-up be about the discrimination and murder of non-Muslims in predominantly Muslim territory in Northern Nigeria. I am not talking about killings by Boko Haram, but killings by non-BH Muslims. I'm talking about killing of corp members and so on. Until Muslims like yourself, who are the good ones, start addressing how non-Muslims are treated by your fellow Muslims, it would be very difficult for non-Muslims to be sympathetic to your plight. just once, just once, I would like to see a Muslim addressing the plight of non-Muslims in the North. Just once. 12 Likes |

Good write up. But most muslims emphasis in the elimination of unbelievers (heathens) wich according to them includes the christians and other religions. That is why people are always afraid when ever someone confess to be a muslim. Going by what is happen in Nigeria and other parts of the world where Islam is practice, the saying that islam is a 'religion of peace' is rather an irony. |
