You've just reasserted your MUMU SYNDROME. You are obviously a product of Christian Extremism with an unenlightened brainwash. Your word "All Terrorists are Muslims" reflects that you may not even have a clue as to what terrorism denotes, and its real evolution.

To educated your limited exposure and extremist brainwash, their are numberless Christian Terrorist Groups and Personalities. But people like you won't know because you're only been fed by the Islamophobic Western media who will always fail to project the other side.

What do you call the following:
The Christian Terrorists in CAR - The Lord Resistant Army Christian terrorist group - The brutal Colonial Masters who also claimed that spreading the Gospel is part of their mission - The brutality of Adolf Hitler who was a Christian - The Crusaders Movement of the previous Century who murdered thousands of Muslims - The Illegitimate invasion of Iraq which George Bush has described as a "Crusade", and has claimed lives of thousands of civilians - The National Liberation Front of Tripura (NLFT) and several others.

However, even if they present themselves to be acting for Christianity, we all firmly believe that their brutality is contrary to the pure and loving message of Christ.
This is the same way Muslims too encourage you to view the Boko Haram and the likes, and stop spreading Hate among humanity.


A word is enough for the wise.


so Adolph hitler is now a terrorist? Dude.....hitler didn't pursue an agenda based on christian teachings and trying to convert them......but most muslim terrorist try to convert that's the difference....

I'm passing through similar experience now,thought not yet married I have a girlfriend which we loved each other but we're almost opposite on all front yet we're still together.I'm a northern muslim while she's a south western christian whose mom is from the south eastern part. We even share opposite political view,while I root for most APC candidates she's a staunch PDP and GEJ's fan,infact she is already planing on how to laugh at me if GEJ wins this election.She's a born again christian that doesn't joke with her religion. While we ague and fight most times,our love always end up prevailing though I must admit that I'm very patient with her. We met while she was doing her HND,and I was newly posted to the state in my working place,she's going for her youth service this may. The problem now is I don't know if my family will accept her and verse versa,but truly we do love each other,but I kept on having this doubt,I have a northern muslim girl too but I love my christian girl more. But I'm afraid,the religious,cultural e.t.c might just be too much for me,please Nairalanders I need ur advice,thanx.

This is what you should simply do, be open minded to yourself and tell yourself the reality of the matter, seeing all the differences and barriers between from both sides do you really think it will work??

To me,this is not exemplary.You are merely putting your kids in religious confusion.My take is,if you love a man enough to marry him then you must marry everything that comes with him.
You have done it successfully I perceive but you should not flaunt it as if you are a role model in such issues.

@adconline, nairaland has created a platform for you to rant and showcase how irresponsible and immature you are. Islam is a religion with principle as it preaches peace there is but only one path no look alike but if you are sensible enough you will know its illogical for a believer to breed hypocrites. You are not a muslim so you might not understand the tenets of the religion when the holy prophet(SAW) enjoined muslims to avoid hell fire he tasked them to carry their family along i dont judge fashola or do i mention what will happen to him after death? I only mentioned what islam says which is total submission to the will of Allah. If you can abuse someone or his lineage because of your so called religion tolerance what then was your stake when pastor oyedepo refused to help his sister because she didnt join his religion. Common sense allows constructive criticism but not an attack, what effect will being a governor on earth has on judgement day when all creatures will rise and only the righteous would be considered. Grow up and reason like a matured man.

An assault from any Christian group against Muslims must be a reprisal attack. Need I remind u again of ur religious background, how Islam was introduced in Nigeria? What's with the barbaric rituals of cutting throats or crucifixion after reading from the Quran? It has always been sword and compulsion. Most countries in the world's most corrupt list are there because of Islam.
And don't you misquote me again. I said "not all. .". But u must agree with me that the north is well-known for their religious extremism and violence. It's not like that in the West. That's why Fashola is able to live with a Christian wife

If I have to speak like you. I will have to remind you that Christianity came into Nigeria via the Colonial Master; It was an imposed culture on the people of Nigeria at that moment. The same people who introduced Christianity were those responsible for murdering and enslaving so many humans. They were also the champions of racism against blacks.

I could still vividly remember that our Grand Fathers at that time were denied Education except they change their various Muslim names to Christian names. Chief Richard Akinjide and many others are living examples of that.

What I am asserting is that for you to be compatible with civilisation, you have to change your ideology of blaming the stupidity of few people on the larger group.

For your education, Islam never came into Nigeria through violence as you ignorantly described above. Islam was introduced in Nigeria through the Malian Traders (Mansa Musa) as early as the 9th Century.

Respectfully Sir,
1. Hitler has always been a terrorist. A mass murderer in fact. Except if the word 'Terrorist' is a reserved accolade for Muslim hooligans.

2. On if Hitler pursued his agenda based on Christian influence. Below is a quote of his:

"We tolerate no one in our ranks who attacks the ideas of Christianity ... in fact our movement is Christian." - He was referring to the terror Nazi group.

See; Speech in Passau 27 October 1928 Bundesarchiv Berlin-Zehlendorf; from Richard Steigmann-Gall (2003). Holy Reich: Nazi conceptions of Christianity, 1919–1945. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press. pp. 60–61 http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Religious_views_of_Adolf_Hitler

However, My argument is not that these cruel personalities represent the religions they claim to profess. In fact, their characters are contrary to the religious beliefs. My major claim is that we should shun the Extremist behaviour of always attaching the irresponsibility or Criminality of some to their respecrive faith teachings.

the bold is very wrong and does not present the teachings of Islam.


Those who do that do it for their false and senseless belief not as instructed by religion.


Islam is accepted by oneself and willingness not by coercion.

Things like Fatima, repeating prayers with beads, scapula(a talisman-looking object hung around the waist or neck), etc are practiced by both faith and not in the Bible

This is nonsense. You should either accept him n his religion and practice it or never marry him at all. You claim the children understand but do u really know the psychological effect its having on them. They go to mosque on Friday and get taught and on sunday, they are taught another in a Church.
In case u don't know but am sure u know, it leads to a broken family and divided home. I refuse to buy your idea cos u know deep down ur heart that it has not been easy but u are mere covering up cos u are a public figure.

Personally, i dont see fashola as the type of muslim the holy prophet(SAW) refers to as believers or how does he explain the fact that his children are church goer muslims. He will wake up in the morning to pray subhi and neither his wife nor children living under thesame roof with him will be there. A muslim who cannot control his immediate family to perform solat cannot be taken to be a devoted muslim or is he comparable to his counterpart in Osun state- Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola?

Technically hes not an extremist who believes other humans have a right to their own beliefs and thoughts, is this your point?

You said you've lived among them, meaning you understood them better(?) I was actually speaking in regards to that point - to let you know that I have equally lived among them and that I also understand them and not just talking for talking sake.
Yes, I have seen a successful Christian-Muslim marriage, not just from afar or on the pages of newspapers. Apart from my secondary school friend's parents' example, my older sister [of the same parents] is successfully married to a Muslim from Osun State. They have been married since 2002 (13 years) with 3 kids (all boys).
Hope you happy now?

No, you yourself, are rather brainwashed. Go read the story of Uthman Dan Fodio, a Fulani and Islamic writer; how he started Jihad in Nigeria, forcing many Christians/Pagans in the northern to convert. Your religion has a history of war and violence, starting with ur Prophet Muhammad. He preached and killed all the same. Up to date, when we mention terrorism, Islam comes to mind. ISIL, Hezbollah, Taliban etc are all Islamic terrorist groups. Deny this and deny your faith! Although, not all of you believe in violence, especially those of u who have gone across their boundaries to mix up with people of all walks of life. So shut the eff up!

@refreshrate, the principle of islam has no look alike he is going to report to Allah how he controlled his family which you will not be there to interpret or defend him as just did. He is muslim with doctrine that is different from christainity now a father of church goer muslim, confusion!, extremism is far from leading your family to the path you believe and follow. He is directly and indirectly connected with the actions of his family Almighty Allah will ask him, think of hereafter and forget the world because whatever we are our days are numbered.

Speaking to Channels TV In an interview yesterday, First Lady of Lagos state, Dame Abimbola Fashola explained how she and governor Fashola have been able to manage their home despite their religious differences. Abimbola who is Catholic, while her husband, Fashola is a Muslim, has this to say;

"We got married in the Church, the Catholic church, that is who I am, that's where you will take me from and that was done. But ever since then my husband has practiced his religion and I have practiced mine. There is no trouble whatsoever. My husband has his own part of the house where he prays, I have my own altar there with my crucifix and my rosary and everything and everyone is minding their own business. When its time for family prayer, we pray. I pray mine to the name of Jesus Christ while he prays in Allah's name & the children understand all that. My children are baptized and they go to church. When he wants them to go to mosque with him they go to the mosque with him."

A lot of us need to learn from this. Who knows if both of them rejected each other based on religious bias, they might not have achieved such a great destiny?

Mrs Fashola also revealed that to get her husband to do something she wants personally, he would ask her to put it in writing so that he would not forget and give it urgent attention. She said it has become important now that everything that she needs to be done has to be documented and passed to her husband because that is how he says he can manage the homefront and the state effectively.

http://www.splendormag.com/2015/03/must-read-how-gov-fashola-i-have.html

What do we call such amalgam of religions, Chrislam?
There are clearly areas where Christianity and Islam are irreconciliable, how do you people ride over? I see that my amiable governor and his lovable wife will end up as neither christians or moslems, and not attaining heaven or aljana. No insults intended.
