ShehuAba:

Let me ask you this question:
When last did you see Muslim threads hit front-page?

It used to be so before now every Friday, but seun just decided to stop it abruptly after making only guests to view it.

There's a biggie in front-page because some people don't bother to visit other sections except the front-page.

So, we need to enlighten our fellow Muslim brothers and educate other non Muslims about Islam.

So, bro that's why we are clamoring for this.

Ajibam:
Enlightenment and education? After giving you a whole section! You still complain about enlightenment, you must be a joker!

probsolver: The OP spoke d minds of the Muslims

Assalamu alaikum. The OP only spoke the minds of some muslims, of what use is a topic on the FP, when the thread will almost certainly be derailed by intolerant bigots casting aspersion on the deen and saying regretful things about our noble prophet (PBUH) with some muslims battling to distance islam from their threacherous lies & slanders. For me and some other brothers & sisters that I know, we would rather come to the islamic section and pick an uninfested thread for our consumption

Wa aleikum salam,

I wonder whether you would have Islam if the prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and his companions decided to keep to themselves because of abuse. It is important that we educate ourselves and non muslims about Islam, particularly in these times. Abuse is not a sufficient reason.

The op mail is as a result of meeting with nairaland muslims and your last post in this section was in 2012. The op did not bring this out of the blue.

garsul:

Dear brother, if you say so. As for me I can't stand my deen been ridiculed and my beloved prophet being spoke about with foul words, it makes my heart bleed. I stopped commenting because there is no point explaining to whom their hearts are herken and chose disbeleive neither will I want to waste my time telling an unbelievers not to judge the deen with actions of some muslims.

ShehuAba: Look at this again:

Tomorrow is Arafat, and a Friday. And Muslims out there won't be availed the opportunity of knowing more about its importance, essence, and things to do before the 'Eid.

Now on Saturday:
Seun will now move the thread: "'Eid Mubarak to all Muslims" to front-page.

To me, that's totally unacceptable if after the 'Eid, you'll still maintain the status quo of not moving our threads to front-page.

Justice must be played at all times, to all manners of people, no matter how different their ideologies is from ours.

That's why, we are calling on you SEUN to do what's right, and listen to the yearnings of Muslims on Nairaland. After all, we have contributed/ still contributing our own quota to making Nairaland what it's today.

I Don hear you oga, I am a joker.
Clap for yourself serious man.

Wizeboy: Seun please your attention is needed here...

It is disheartening that no single Islam thread on front page. Check my profile since I have joined your forum (Nairaland). I have never been banned or make unscrupulous comment to anybody likewise many others here.

Why would people committing the offence be justify while our innocent thread is been punished. This is purely discrimination, I don't really mind if you ban me because of this, is time you should start acting indiscriminately without fear or favour.

Many comments are been hiding on your forum each day and you never ban such section on front page.

Peace

Wizeboy: Dear Seun Osewa,

We write this open letter to you, the owner of Nairaland.com to express our disappointment and objection to your barring threads located in Islam for Muslims section from the front page of your website (without restrictions).

We want to let you know that most of us participate actively on other threads in other sections without breaking the rules and find it disheartening that we cannot express our beliefs on your forum without been marginalised whilst people of other faiths have their threads on front page without any discrimination.

We learnt that you decided to ban Muslim threads from front page due to many hidden comments and bans that are given to erring members who break your forum rules by posting insults or seeking to derail threads.

This we find to be unfair and unjust as there are many hidden comments in the Politics section with bans handed out to rule-breakers. Yet, threads from that section appear on front page virtually every day.

Whether a thread hits front page or not, some people might still break Nairaland rules and you can easily find threads that are not on front page with hidden comments.

Therefore, your refusal to let our threads hit the front page for all to see has not achieved your desired result as it only portrays you as a biased and unfair decision-maker.

We appreciate what you have achieved with Nairaland thus far but expect that you would build it as a platform that is fair to all regardless of faith.

Therefore, we request that you reverse this unfair and unjust policy of yours and instead ensure that the forum rules are implemented fairly at all times.

We hope you will consider this open letter and act accordingly towards being fair to everybody.

Best Regards,

mikolo80: and yet You wonder why no one wants to play with ya'll

ShehuAba: The truth is that Mr seun osewa thus far has not really justified why the Muslim threads haven't been hitting front page for sometimes now.

Despite the fact that Muslims have served meritoriously and still doing so on Nairaland.

One thing you should realize is that many nairalanders just visit the front page, and don't bother visiting other sections. That's why most at times, threads on the front page get lots of attention, contributions etc.

When you decide to isolate the Islam for Muslim sections because of bans, negative comments by others, and your thought that Islam/ Muslims are violent is totally uncalled for.

No matter how you try hard to hide the section, those who still want to be mischievous do still come there to do what they are good at.

So, i as a Nairaland Muslim, together with my brethren humbly request that You Reconsider your action of not putting our threads on frontpage , and be fair in your judgment and do what's right.

#seun Muslim threads needs to hit front-page
