Lolzzz grin grin
Sorry sis I can't help but laugh at the bold. Are you really this soft-hearted? cheesy

This is Nairaland! And if you must be here, you have to develop a tough skin or you will find yourself weeping over the to lies heaped on you here even by someone who don't even know what you look like or whom you are.

Shalom
hahahaha. I thought I was the only one who noticed that. She is toooo soft-hearted to be on nairaland. Chai. grin

I can only advise her to ignore the rantings of many folks here on nairaland cos having insults thrown at one for airing one's thoughts is really not unusual...

Ifeann, am so sure that if these sorts could get their hands on you, they'll give u the same treatment Muhammed gave to those who told him the truth. Why do they hate being told the truth? Maybe I feel like dis because I have a diff spirit.

Why is it unsafe to discuss about the religion of "peace".. why all the threats about fatwas..And insults from Muslims. this is terrible. . Freedom of expression on islam is dead. But its only for a time..The truth will always prevail.


Hi! Where did you post it, on this section or Islam section? I hope Islam section agents have not started pulling the strings on censorship in this section again?

I posted it here in the general religion section. .. i have NEVER posted any thing in the Islam for Muslim section. ..

The thread was a simple and blunt article i wrote on the issues with islam and the vast differences between the teachings of Jesus and Mohammed which should compel any human with a conscience to leave Islam. Some people asked for it to be posted to the fp while Muslims insulted. In the end fear got the better of the mods. ..

I will dilute the article and repost soon. ..
Hope you are having a nice weekend. .

Thanks, am doing good. Should you re-post it, i have your back. On no account should a secular forum like this be censored by religious supremacists. Whoever is sick of your criticisms should not view your thread.

This is exactly why u are my favorite Muslim and one day hopefully a brother in Christ. . cheesy.

I will repost again after it is watered down. .i don't want to offend anyone. .

i was discussing with a muslim on nairaland, i think empiree or abuaman i can't recall and i posted something u said about the hadiths and asked why they attack you for your stance . .the Muslim says u are not a real Muslim and added some other choice insults. ..i don't know if you have seen the thread. ..
why are Muslims so anti critical thinking, freedom of expression and objective reasoning? ? Why do they attack any opposition to the status quo.. even if it is clearly ridiculous. .don't they know that Islam will be less of a laughing stock without the hadiths.

Even I, have difficulty believing Usermane is a muslim, he seems completely different from any muslim I have met on or offline.


He questions islam so much that even his fellow muslims here don't seem to like him one bit.
Imagine even now, his profile picture is a bible verse while his siggy is Islamic.
If truly he is a muslim, he is one of a kind and I salute his courage.

He is the definition of being open minded.
I take my time to read his posts when he disagrees with me because I know that I may actually learn something from him and which is NOT laced with al Taqiyya.

But the hatred for him in the Islam for muslim section is stunning. He actually says the truth and defends Islam intelligently tho I disagree with some of his analysis.

He is the ONLY muslim in nairaland that made me realise I misunderstood a verse.

Usermane u will make a great christain apologist. Please study more about christainity and christain theology,
google and watch videos by DR. David wood, (former pro Mohammed atheist turned christain), Sam shamoun(former muslim) and Dr. Nabeel qureshi (ex muslim)-i think I misspelt his name..

Please don't think that these prosperity/ word of faith pastors and new year, sports and politics prophesy pastors and paedophile priests are the face of Christianity.

They are the bad eggs just as u have them in any society or religion.

Hmm.... I cannot expect anything less from such individuals who lack a sense of right and wrong. I expose the self-righteousness, deceit and ignorance within them, most times they had no logical response and cowardly resort to insults, banning me and deleting my threads. They basically escaped from me.

It is called ego. They have been brought up with a militant, irrational and supremacist understanding of their religion and therefore objectivity, rationality and freedom of expression have no place in their mindset. That is why they find it wrong for Christians to kill apostates but justify Muslims killing apostates. There is a battle for Islam among between such Muslims and Reform minded Muslims like me. Here is a brilliant documentary that captures it;

I've got an idea for Seun. Seun, if indeed you are being threatened by Islamists regarding the things posted on this website, perhaps you could try to document it. Keep a record of any letters and emails sent, or if possible audio and video recordings of meetings with these people when they are likely to threaten you.

Who knows, maybe in a couple of years time it might make a good documentary or expose´. Evidence.

I just watched the documentary.
Its very educative, I have always known that not all Muslims are like tartar, ayinba, abuamam etc. This is why I never insult Muslims.
The thing is that Muslims like u are so like christains in behaviour, u are also a very small voice in Islam. I just discovered a guy called BabaGnoni, he seems to be a level headed quranist. I was pained to see what decent anti hadith Muslims Go thru. It was also incredible to hear that ignorant muslim refer to that nice muslim doctor as an extremist.

Empiree and abuamam watch this doc;

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A0ZECSUg8iY

Pay attention in the 46th minute mark and hear a morderate muslim complain about an extremist Muslims imam using al Taqiyya, he refered to it as double discourse.

Thank you both(Ifeann & BabaGnoni), am actually glad you enjoyed the documentary. An important fact left out of it is the protection and support the Islamists enjoy from the western government/politicians like Obama, western leftists and mainstream media, all thanks to multiculturalism and political correctness. This sabotage the effort of the reform minded Muslims willing to integrate and defend western values like freedom, tolerance and secularism.

We can understand this clearer by considering this forum. The Admin has not only given an entire section to Muslims but empowered Islamofascists, supremacist and militant Muslims to moderate and dominate the section, such that moderate, secular Muslims like me can't air their views, let alone non-Muslims. Only Muslims are permitted to post there and even then, only mainstream or orthodox teachings are tolerated in Islam section.

Still, the Admin continue to feed Islamofascists in this forum by authorizing them to censor topics even in Religion or Politics section. Ifeann, that is why your topic was deleted.

Not all Muslims are Islamists but an alarming fraction are. Any Muslim with a supremacist, absolutist and militant position on Islam is an Islamist even if he campaigns against Boko Haram. Islamists are wolves in sheep clothing, parasitizes on Islam and have a very twisted, demented and devious vision for the world. The earlier people like the Admin of this forum realizes that, the better.

That is a very important observation. I tend to relate with you on the subject of Taqqiya. Islamists or Islamofascists have a clay face. They use this face to appeal to their audience, to recruit and proselytize. Unless you know their true face by studying their interpretation of the Qur'an(Hadith, Tafsir, ijma, Sirat), you would be fooled into their arms. They may deny violence and terrorism but like green snakes in the grasses, they are more venomous than terrorists like Al Qaida or Boko Haram who are frank who are frank and open about their agenda.

You are surprised to learn that? There are several Muslims who stood in the name of their faith against the tide of Islamism and met their death at the hands of the Islamists. Farag Foda was assasinated in the early '90s by the Muslim Brotherhood, for standing against the clergy in defense of Egyptian Copts. In 2011, Salman Taseer(a Pakistan Governor) was assassinated at the behest of Muslim clerics for condemning blasphemy laws in Pakistan and defending Aasia Bibi. Raif Badawi is currently in prison and under flogging in Saudi Arabia for criticizing the state and her interpretaion of Islam, promoting Islamic reform. Muhammad Taha, Rashad Khalifa, and Tahiri deserve mention too.

You may reject their faith but these were men who stood for justice, freedom, equity(regardless of religion or gender) and human rights in contrast to the likes of Ayatollah Khomeini, Osama Bin Ladin, Yusuf Al Qaradawi still celebrated in the Muslim world despite all their evil.

Contemporary Muslims like Ahmed Subhy Mansur, Edip Yuksel, Qanta Ahmed, Tarek Fatah, Zuhdi Jasser, Raheel Raza or Irshad Manji have received death threats from Islamists. Not all of them reject Hadith, but they all agree that the mainstream interpretation or teachings of Islam is the root of Islamist aggression/oppression and a revamp or revision of the Islamic narratives is necessary. Some have been declared apostates by the clerics and had to flee their home in the Middle east for political asylum in the West. If they had remained in Iran, Saudi Arabia or Sudan, they might have been dead or rotting in jail by now.

I guess we have the Christian West to thank. In Shari'ah compliant societies, a Muslim doesn't need to vocally denounce Islam to be declared an apostate by the clerics. And once declared an apostate, he could be be judicially executed or randomly murdered by any Islamist.
