atrix4g: The whole sane world is disappointed in u. Muhammed ddnt give any surah they were revealed to him. So u tink the 5th and 9th surah was revealed at once to him??. Just read nd read tinx. Even read nonsense seriously u will hav sense. I'm sorry, no offence intended. Just annoyed at nowadays youth who don't read

eluquenson: Alhamdullilahi, I will rejoice till end of time for being a Muslim, this epistle is very interesting & touching for those who has the knowledge.

Allah causes whomsoever He wills to stray in error, and sets whomsoever He wills on the straight way.
Al-Qur'an 6 verse 39

Jazakum llahu khairan

yousee: Muslims have a whole lot of work to do. The media, isn't helping them one bit. I was raised in northern Nigeria, I knew how peaceful and tolerant we all lived in the early 80's. Imagine a young Christian child going into a mosque to nap after playing football with his Muslim friends on Saturdays. The imam will wake me up to go home when it's time for 4pm prayers.
Sometimes, I just sit and wonder How bad things have turned. In my secondary school, I had Muslims beating me in Bible knowledge and we joked about it, even my sisters were given Muslim names by our neighbours at their birth, and my dad called their kids Christian names. Musa was Moses etc.
We did sadakha (alms giving together).

Extremism has really polluted Islam, and nobody is going to fix it for you guys. The onus rests on you squarely.

abdulkayus: The OP is right. When I was serving in one of d state in d east, some muslims do hide their name or their religion so as to avoid d stereotypes agaisnt muslim.
Am a muslim and nt a terrorist, God forbid for be to be a terrorist cos terrotist abode is hell if dey dont repent.
Islam os against killing of innocent souls.

lekahm:

Please don't get it twisted, JIHAD does nt mean fighting or killing it mean striving. Technically striving to correct what is wrong. 2) to enjoin wht is good. Its a misconception to say it is fighting or killing. However, it is compulsory cause thats the goal of muslims to preach word peace.

onetrack:

I am an atheist therefore I believe that Muhammad is the author of the Quran. I did not say that the 5th and 9th suras were composed at the same time; I merely stated that they were among the very last suras in terms of chronology.

uzoexcel: all is well indeed..i like the fact that u argue without flaring up...btw:i dnt side with 'any side'...@ d bolded means that Asari Dokubo is a strong muslim person...i only found fault with ur arguement when u mentioned the naija delta as part of religious warfare

vvvvvvvvvvvvvvv: You are so on point. A few years back, at the
university of ibadan a girl went to preach inside a
mosque and she was beaten to a state of coma by
the worshippers even the so called undergraduates.
If not for the police she could have died.
I don't support her going to the mosque to preach
but just to give you an idea of the kind of violence
that runs in their blood.

hi guys, the major problem in this world now is mis information....I wonder where u heard that u posted..
1. the girl wasnt beaten to a state of comma..
2.the girl came to disturb our prayer session.
3.the girl was kept save by the muslim community and the muslim amir himself.
4.and the school did justice to the issue..
5.the girl continued with her studies and nothing happened to her...

pls lets always confirm where we get information from..

thanks....

first comment ever on nairaLand...

Isiterere:
I am a Muslim ,I don't need to flare up.

ALL IZZ WELL

lekahm:
is that not what you believe too?

tintingz: Yeah you can tell that to Adolf Hitler the evangelist .

defemz:

Herein lies the whole problem. Following your logic, Islam only frown at killing innocent souls, in many other religions of the world, taking a human life is a sin. Because aside from consituted authority of the land, no one is permitted to take a human life whether innocent or otherwise.

Reading through the holy Quran, there are many instances where killing is sanctioned and actually demonstrated by prophet Muhammed. No matter how hard Muslims strive for peace, it will perpetually elude them. This is because the very foundation of Islam is built on the sword. The sword sign in the islamic logo is not a coincidence.

Muslims should stop deluding themselves quoting some part of the Quran and ignoring some other scary part of their holy text.

Reading through the holy Quran any Muslim that does not wage war against the christians and the Jews is not a Muslim but hypocrite. The same reason why Yoruba Muslims are considered hypocrites by their obviously more knowledgeable northern Hausa Muslims.

Let's face the truth and nothing but the truth, with hearts of conscience , In the holy Quran the word peace is relative

I have two advantages here I live in the north and I have read the Quran. . if any of you is looking for peace, trust me , you will not find it in the Quran, trust me.

For everybody information Islam and Muslims will play a very prominent role in the end time.

drfk001:
I do really think you are myopic and believe alot in "we versus them" mentality which is the real cause of islamic extremism. Hitler who you mentioned started the WW2 on the backbone of Nazism and German superiority not religion. Bush was never blamed for using religion as a pretext for the Iraqi war

atrix4g: okay but as a muslim I tell u he isn't d author. U don't need to read dos two only u can go tru all. Just pick up a translated quran nd do. I tell u u will b stunned. Assume it's a normal book. Just read freely not religious or personal sentiment nd dont answer anybodi if u re told it is "HARAM"

MrT2011:

And you too.
Zombie!!!

tintingz: False .

Adolf Hitler wiping out the Jews is because the Jews killed the christian god so he(hitler) wanna revenge the god they(the jews) nailed on the cross, he fought a crusade .

dragan: Yeah yeah we get it there are Muslims all over the world doing bad stuff but the FACT remains that that is NOT what the Quran teaches nor how the Prophet (S.A.W) lived his life. EOD

So all that verse quoting you people do to attack Muslims or all that verse quoting terrorists do to justify their actions is all WRONG for various reasons , the simplest one being that they were revealed a time long ago for a certain situation.

I wont even bother to say anything anymore since I'm pretty sure this has been said like a million times but none of you or them (terrorists) will ever listen.

But i will admit that there's a large amount of ignorant Muslims in this world that harbor some disliking or hate towards other faithfuls for whatever reasons so i guess its only normal that we would get the same treatment from other ignorant people.

OliverPin: No compulsion in religion and yet in a sharia country no muslim must change religion. Lwkmd... Who is deceiving whom? Ok

kemthegirl:

i wish i could belive u. Jihad means holy war. Since when r Muslims to preach. All over the world Islam was spread majorly through conquest. How did Dan Fodio invade the north? In history it id called Jihad. Spare me abeg.

OliverPin: Now they want to say Jihad is peaceful strive LOL* even ur prophet ordered numerous battles(jihad). So if the leader did such why won't the followers? I hope am not wrong here.
