The Muslim world is riddled with fagg0ts.

Madrasses world-wide and the equivalent Almajiri schools that dot northern Nigeria are dens of homosexuals.

This Iman is just shoving the hypocrisy down the muslim world.

I can see that ur jobless going through my profile,believe whatever is in the profile at your peril. You think I'd stupidly put anything serious about me or what I do on a forum like nairaland that is filled with teenagers with 99 percent of irresponsible comments and behaviour? I am not that stupid. As a person from a security background,my real I cannot be that stupid. If you want us to sort this out face to face,person to person'then let me know;I'm ready.

FannySwindler:
Njays24. Am less concerned if you come from a security background..... Empty vessels makes the most noise. Neither am a I tout. Don't need to see you....all I need is one phonecall. I don't meet the likes of you...And you are less likely to pass security checks to see me and possibly may need to pay a fee.
Go in Peace. Your sins are forgiven.

tsdarkside:


what?? shiiiiiiiiiit....speak english,damn you!!!!

FannySwindler:
njays24. I have forgiven you and asked you to go in peace. Still you refused to accept peace. Must you be abusive? Is it ladylike? If this is you on public forum....then what happens offline in reality.
Amend your ways....before it gets too late. Now go in peace.

FannySwindler:
njays24. Why must your little cousin spank me? I had prefer you to spank me. You feel threatened because you have been abusive. Now you have to watch your back. What you looking scared for? I don't bruise.
You may be a mamalike babe....that don't count.
What matters most is stop being abusive and follow the path of peace. Your abusive nature won't take you places. It will only do more damage than good.
Therefore...embrace peace. Let it be your watchword.
Now you can Go In Peace.

njays24:
It's clear that your insanity is getting out of hand,seek help now before it's too late! Pele omo ale

FannySwindler:
njays24. I don't kill and won't kill. Now that I know you have thugs who kill...then its getting clearer now.
This your braggadocio will take you no where...people who kill don't talk.
Badboys move in silence and with violence.
Ever since you have been abusive...I have not issued one negative word. I offered you peace....asked you to go in peace. Yet you refused.
Let it be known and written thisday that you have rejected peace.

FannySwindler:
I have asked you to go in peace yet...you still won't let me be. tsdarkside= transexual dark side? Am I right?
Just finished looking at your history on Nairaland and all I can see is nothing surprising...it's already a part of you. Presently,

Am perusing Thelma's Blog via njays24 profile...having seen her pics and read the profile of the blog owner....Am not also surprised at all. Am just concerned about the blog readers....cos if any one has different opinion to that of the blogger, then its going to be cursing all the way.

All I can say is:
Age does not confirm maturity.
Education does not confirm literacy.(Functional, Cultural, Moral Illiteracy)
Shame Really.

WASHINGTON – He’s been condemned by other Muslim leaders, and some local imams have even refused to greet him. But Imam Daayiee Abdullah – believed to be the only openly gay imam in the Americas – is proud of his story.

He was born and raised in Detroit, where his parents were Southern Baptists. At age 15, he came out to them. At 33, while studying in China, Abdullah converted to Islam, and went on to study the religion in Egypt, Jordan and Syria. But as a gay man in America, he saw that lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender Muslims had unmet spiritual needs and he became an imam to provide community support.

“Sometimes necessity is the mother of invention. And because of the necessity in our community, that's why I came into this particular role,” he told America Tonight about his journey.

His first act as an imam? Performing funeral rites for a gay Muslim who died of AIDS.

“They had contacted a number of imams, and no one would go and provide him his janazah services,” he said, referring to the Muslim body cleaning ritual. That pained him.

“I believe every person, no matter if I disagree with you or not, you have the right as a Muslim to have the proper spiritual [rites] and rituals provided for you. And whoever judges you, that will be Allah's decision, not me.”

It’s one of the mantras he lives by in his work, even as others condemn him.

“The beautiful thing about God is that when you change your attitude, and say, 'God, I need some help,' and mean it sincerely, God is always there for you,” Abdullah told congregants one night during a regular sermon, known as a khutbah, at the Light of Reform Mosque in Washington, D.C.

He serves as the imam and educational director of the mosque, which he helped form more than two years ago to be a safe space for values and practices that other mosques may eschew.

During his service, women and men kneel side-by-side and women are allowed to lead prayers – actions that have sparked controversy even among American Muslims.

"We do not limit people by their gender or their sexual orientation, or their particular aspect of being Muslim or non-Muslim,” he told America Tonight. “They're there to worship."

Imam Daayiee provides other services that are unique for an imam of a Muslim community, like marrying same-sex couples. So far in his 13 years as imam, he has performed more than 50 weddings.

FannySwindler:
Why can't people accept constructive criticism, respect others opinions even if it differs from theirs. Why can't people be tolerant to one another...to pass a point across without being abusive. Is it a Nigerian trait or a Nairaland trait? or Does it have any correlation with upbringing, educational level or Is it as a result of frustration or economic status? Or probably it's multi-factorial.
