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.

delishpot:

God bless you. Then my obly dream was to become a moslem when I grow up. My sis even had a hijab, he couldnt wait to get older, convert and starz wearing her hijab. But now she still covers her hair and dress modestly. Our moslem friends inspired us. Large familues came together during feasts, friendl and happy chei gone are the days. When moslems and christians exchanged food during celebrations.
Miss the good old peaceful days.
Well, a brother here adviced me that evil moslems are just spoiling the religion which I have come to believe. Evil minds have polluted the minds of many of Gods followers.

wordsbase:
For your information, nobody is talking about what the media tells anybody. We all have one way or the other, personally or through someone close to us, experienced the havoc caused through islam. So don't sit her and make comments as if we are in a land far away from all these happenings.

Besides, I studied Islamic Law in the University as an elective. I should be certain of what I say, shouldn't I?

And i'm surprised that you don't think that the perception people have about islam caused by your muslim brothers is a matter to address. You are part of the problem.

SporaD8: Mind you, Hitler was subdue by allied forces-Britain and America(your typical christian Nation). Besides Hitler is no longer a threat to world peace, Islamic fanaticism is!
If America were to declare war on any mid-eastern terrorist group Muslim worldwide will tag it Muslim against Christian; Federal Government declared total war against Bokoharam, Sultan and Northern Governors will tag it declaration of war against Muslims.
See now that no one called the terrorist Muslim, Its your fellow Muslim brothers that called them Muslims!
In conclusion, You are actually saying,"Islamic terrorism is not a problem after all Hitler(a supposed Christian) is also a culprit!"

yousee:

Thank God you understand. Those festive periods were the bomb. There was no eid maloud (baban sallah) that we didn't have at least 4 rams in my backyard. When dad complained that He prefered he-goats, these Muslim men changed the rams to goats. Mum wooed them with isi - ewu.
I even got kaftans free.

Bro, them days are over!

ooseven: It's never your fault, it's never your fault...always the victim it's never your fault

Boko Haram ravages northern Nigeria - moderate Muslims

Syrian regime destroys its own Muslim population- moderate Muslims

ISIS Destroys ancient Islamic edifices and attacks Iraqi Shias- moderate Muslims

ISIS sacks Mosul of Christians - moderate Muslims

Israel defends itself against Hamas rocket fire and underground tunnels- moderate Muslims Death to Jews...twitter campaign, Facebook campaign, street protest, Arab league meetings, UNHCR resolutions, intrnational Islamic outrage. Na this hypocrisy dey vex people.

The very problem is the first pillar " there is no other God except Allah....." If you keep that in your bed room no problem, if you keep it in Saudi Arabia, no problem. If you keep it in all the conquered lands of the Middle East and north africa no wahalla....but why force people in France, UK, Germany, Sweden, Denmark to wake up at 5 am with your loudspeakers shouting at them that they their own Gods are false, yet if anyone goes against the Koran or even draws an innocent picture of your prophet he is a dead Man walking.

No other religion seeks world domination like Islam. People have now woken up to the covert threat on their cultures and beliefs and are now reacting.

E.g Burkah has been banned in France and other countries are debating it.

Countries are beginning to kick against being covert selling of so called halal meat.

China and Russia clamping down on its Islamic extremists.

So if you moderate Muslims don't speak up when you need to, you will always be represented by the hate preaching, xenophobic, extremist preachers and terrorists.

atrix4g: MANY nd to start with the one u dont want to hear, fight to defend Allahs religion, stive to b the best in Anyting u do, strive to be close to God by going away from what he tells us to go away from like fornication, bribery which the prophet said is the best . nd obviously is the best, fight to defend ones self from oppressors, strive to educate urself both in circular books nd religious books which i believe is causing the problem in our society cos WE re all ignoramus. nd many more. And u know what Allah says in the quran ? which translates. ' whoever strives only strives for his own soul, God is not in need of any wealth or good from all of the Alamin(mankind, jinns, mention it'. so ....

geborenzie: i get your write up in encouraging muslims but muslims are very volatile take a look at boston bombing it was done by Muslims where millions of pple died also take a look at the n klling of two britain officers by two nigerian guys
mariam in sudan that was supposed to be killed because she became a christian if not for international outcry also the ISIS who want to circumcise 4 million children and women in the name of religion and the story of a muslim man in america i dont which part he killed a pregnant woman because he thought she was a prostitute, sure there are nice muslims but the crazy ones have overshadowed the nice and the media might be lieing but the media cannot be lieing all the time so wtf i have right right to look at you once,twice,thrice in case you want to harm may be you should try preaching to your muslims brothers about all these things than preaching to us and also tell them to stop practising honor killing a situation where the victim of rape is being killed thanks

drfk001: Nice article @op but you can't deny the fact that those miscreants wether BH or ISIS or another group are mus.lims added with the fact that wherever there is a religious crises whether Christians, jews or Hindus there is always a muslim story attached to it. I would say that these inter-religious crises is usually due to actual or potential aggression of Muslims against these other religions.

Boland: My only quetion is this:
Is Jihad compulsory in Islam or not?

muhsin:

Yes, I believe they are Muslims, at least some of them are. But get this straight, many have faulted to the extent that their religiosity is just nominal. I hope you understand.

Well, maybe the stories attached to Islam but in what ways? That the Muslims are the oppressors or the oppressed? I think you need to understand this also. Do you know about the Bosnian genocide that occurred between 1991-1995? Please tell me more about this. But let me give you a tip: more than 10,000 Muslims were slaughtered for their faith. Where did that ever happen in this contemporary world against any faithful but Muslims? Ask yourself, why?

Again, go find out what's happening in Sri Lanka and Myanmar. Muslims are the little minority there. So, rationally speaking they are not, as they cannot be, the agitators. But yet they are being systematically killed by Buddhists, denied identity and every rights by the government, especially in the latter (Myanmar). Why? Give me any Muslim country where a similar thing happen. Take Iraq out of this, for those (ISIS) are just terrorist that fight even the government.

Waiting for your response. Thanks.

TheIROKO: you just said God which means a superior being that has boundless powers. he doesn't to fight but to just take away if he pleases. Unless of course you want to please your God by killing other people but how reasonable is imagine everybody doing that and what the world will look like
