@davidylan,

The only sensible thing you have done in your whole life (apart from not saying no to education) is to support Arsenal (based on th Wenger Knows part of your signature).

Or, are you being paid to support Arsenal?

my brother grafkidon here we were talking of the northern soldiers of allah when an intelligent nairalander announced that Saudi and Dubai were great places for Christians,obviously not knowing that UAE is not your typical Muslim sharialand and moreso dubai whose population is 80% immigrant population.

anyway back to topic

are you telling me ?

personally I plan on visiting Dubai soon.
It is nothing like Saudi.
at least no sharia policemen would arrest me and force me into a burqua

I've heard so much from colleagues that the place is spectacular.
Dubai and Maysia are on my "to travel " list.
I wouldn't set foot in Saudi even if they paid me to go.

http://www.magicalurbanism.com/?p=125


Yes nwando, you are right. I have visited Dubai and it is nothing like Saudi Arabia at all. It is spectacular and has the only 7-star hotel in the world.  Zero crime rate almost.  Even when you have the crime it is caused by the foreigners who are guests not the citizens.  It is a beautiful place where with no concept of "poverty" since the wealth is evenly distributed and no one has any cause to be envious of the neighbour. They people are not greedy and are not interested in what happens outside the world but concentrate on themselves. The place was a desert land transformed into a paradise with the same oil Nigeria has. They have recognized that their oil will soon be finished and have started working on tourism to keep their economy afloat. I can compare them to Switzerland or Canada--the best countries in the world that know how to mind "their business"!

How many times have you heard about religious or social uprising in UAE? Is this not the country that the American government wanted to contract some You-S ports to some time ago?  Not every where you see muslims that have a jihad.  Once again, I cannot over emphasize the point that wherever you see any type of uprising, it is as a result of a total break down of law and order in that society.  Because they can get away with it.  It has nothing to do with religion or economics.

Agreed!  It is still an excuse to take matters into one's hands.  In the You-S for example---even in the poorest neighbourhoods you have drug wars and gang wars.  These are different reasons why people take the laws into their hands.  In Nigeria it is because people are not held accountable for their anti-social actions.

My point is that there are lots of christain and muslim societies without religious crises. In Nigeria it is just sheer lawlessness not a matter of religion.

Did you read the Saudi customs warning on carrying religious items that are not islamic?

you keep parroting the same hogwash. Can a Virgin-Nigeria airline fly into the US without obeying US custom rules? You have not heard any report of bibles being siezed aboard such planes because most of you are ignorant of happenings around you. Try and broaden your horizon and stop living in cuckoo land were political correctness is the new language.

And kindly re-read my post with some measure of understanding, without letting your usual anti-Muslim hatred blind your mind. My previous post focused more on Dubai than Saudi, and to the best of my knowledge, Christians are not dead on shot on arrival at Saudi or Dubai airports. They are persecuted for their faith, and whipped when they practise it openly or publicly, but are not killed as frequently, or to the same extent as in some far Northern states in Nigeria.

@ Davidylan,
There are several oil workers from different Western countries who are resident in Saudi and carry their Bibles with them. There are also several Nigerian and African business people who go to Dubai very often and carry their bibles with them. Am not aware those bibles have been seized or confiscated. What a majority of Arabs frown upon is the open proselyting or attempts to win new converts to the christian religion from members of their own population. Don't forget that the Dubai & the UAE in general is a huge tourist destination now. Am not sure many bibles are currently being seized from Christian tourists and Christian workers, in that country.

The part in bold type was my main focus. As for the oil workers from Western countries who are expatriates, if they do not carry their bibles with them, (even though its' against Saudi law), from where do the Saudi authorities then get those Bibles that they seize on their soil?

The article below talks about Christian persecution in Saudi, but also makes another point:

Of these charges, only the last was true - Mr O'Connor was in possession of Bibles, including one in Arabic, for use in his Bible study for expatriates of different nationalities, which met in his home. Under Saudi law, expatriates are allowed to meet privately and discreetly for religious practice

I disagree sha.  Islam is not the culprit---Islam is used as the excuse.  Islam did not kill christians but was used by some people who probably never even read the Koran to kill christians and we fall for this lie over and over again.

Where I don't seem to agree is this.
Islam was primarily spread by the sword.
I agree hunger can bring out the worst in man but Islam is a religion that tolerates no other and when a holy book commands one to kill off others,
that is a dangerous thing.

We should thank God that most Muslims are not like Mohammed and don't aspire to be.

Bottom line is to send a very strong message to the religious zealots. . . round them up and execute them for murder, I am pretty sure that will send a strong message. Unfortunately those who will put the zealots in order turn and look the other way, which I believe makes them as guilty as the brainless murderers. Someone suggested the Christian should vacate the troubled spots in the North but I don't think that is a bright idea. Every Nigerian has the right to settle down in any part of the country, besides some of the murdered and butchered Christians are Northerners so why would a man run away from his father's land because of a handful of brain dead ''Allah Arched Bar'' murderers?

Assuming everyones decided to let them be by moving away from them, what really makes you think they won't take their 'Jihad' down to the South anytime a Muslim from Bangladesh draws a picture of Muhammad with bikini and thong? I have noticed a pattern on Nairaland; everyone who condemns the senseless killing of innocent Nigerians in the North is labeled a "Anti North''. We waste our trying to figure if the killers were yelling 'Allahu Arched bar'' Or "Otito Dili Jesu'' while cutting down Innocent Christians like grasses. . . obviously, some of us are not disturbed by this display of 1440 style barbarism in 2007.

Dubai is primarily a tourist destination, to promulgate laws like those in Saudi would effectively kill tourism there. At least in that regard the people of Dubai are smart.

christians are not shot dead on arrival at Saudi airports because just in case you were unaware you cant wear your religion as a badge on your forehead. they are persecuted for their faith, whipped and sometimes deported. . . is that more acceptable than killing?

Re: Northern Nigerian Killer Muslims At Work Again by Nobody: 6:55pm On Oct 08, 2007
@ almondjoy,let me show you some of the words of Mohammed,the revered prophet of Islam.

Mohammed said, "I have been ordered to fight with the people till they say, "None has the right to be worshipped but Allah, and whoever says, " None has the right to be worshipped but Allah , his life and property will be saved by me." (otherwise it will not). Vol. 4:196


Mohammed said, "Whoever changes his Islamic religion, kill him." Vol. 9:57


A Muslim must not be killed if he kills a non-Muslim.

Mohammed said, " No Muslim should be killed for killing a Kafir" (infidel). Vol. 9:50


Mohammed said to the Jews, "You should know that the earth belongs to Allah and His Apostle (Mohammed) and I want to expel you from this land (The Arabian Peninsula), so, if anyone owns property, he is permitted to sell it." Vol. 4:392


Mohammed's last words at his deathbed were: "Turn the pagans (non-Muslims) out of the Arabian Peninsula." Vol


Mohammed started out preaching peace and love when he hadn't much following but as his supporters grew,the guy did a 180 and started killing like crazy,most of his killings were innocent citizens who did he nothing.
He killed the men and took their wives and properties and shared them amongst his followers.

Now what kind of an example is that?

Islamists who kill give you reasons from Mohammed why they do and they are correct.
He did the exact same things and to say they never read the Koran is wrong.
The hadiths and koran support such actions.

what happened?
The governor and state paid for a funeral ,gave money to compensate the family.
But what was done to ensure this never happens again?
were they taught the simple rule of tolerance
where they told that this was against the law ?

Remember that the punishment for desecration is death,according to stupid sharia.

We are not dealing with people that are capable of thinking like people do.

IS REPRIEVE ALREADY COMING THE WAY OF THE VICTIMS? GOD HELP US

Supreme Court okays death sentences on two Islamic militants

By Tobi Soniyi, Abuja

The Supreme Court has confirmed the death sentences passed on two Islamic militants, Abubakar Dan Shalla and Musa Yaro, who in company of others, slaughtered another Muslim for allegedly insulting Prophet Muhammed.
In two judgments delivered on Friday, a panel of five justices of the court, comprising Justices Sylvester Onu, Adesola Oguntade, Mariam Mukhtar, Walter Onnoghen, and Tanko Muhammad, unanimously turned down the appeal of two out of the six militants who killed the deceased, Alhaji Abdullar Umaru.

The event leading to the killing took place on July 14, 1999 in Randali Village in Kebbi State.

According to the lead judgment delivered by Justice Oguntade, on that fateful day, word went round that Umaru had insulted Prophet Muhammed, which made some militants, including the two condemned persons, pass judgment on him that he must die.

They went to the village where the deceased was, arrested him and slaughtered him by slicing his throat.

“As adherents to the teachings of the Holy Quran, the appellant and the other accused persons accepted that they had a duty to kill the deceased as contained in the Holy Quoran.”

They were consequently arrested and arraigned before a high court in Birnin-Kebbi on a three-count charge of criminal conspiracy, abatement and culpable homicide. This is contrary to sections 97, 85 and 22 (a) of the Penal Code.

When the trial commenced, the six accused persons pleaded not guilty to the charges even though they admitted to killing the deceased.

They were accordingly found guilty and sentenced to death on January 19, 2000 by the trial court.

According to Justice Oguntade, “The manner in which the appellant and the other accused persons behaved during their trial by not calling evidence to deny the allegations against them, and by admitting that they killed the deceased show without doubt that they laboured under a notion that they had a duty under Islamic injunction to kill the deceased.”

They were convicted and sentenced to death. Two of the six convicts appealed to the Court of Appeal and lost.

They again appealed to the Supreme Court, claiming that the defence of justification and provocation should have availed them.

In rejecting the argument, the Supreme Court noted that the insulting words allegedly uttered by the deceased were not stated to enable the trial judge to know that they were capable of provoking the convicts and justifying their actions.

Justice Oguntade said, “In the circumstances of this case, since the trial court was not told the words alleged to have been uttered by the deceased or the act he did which were contrary to the injunction of Islam as contained in the Holy Quran, and which justified his killing, the trial court could not be criticised for not engaging in a futile speculation.

“In any case, even on the assumption, (although without proof), that the deceased had in some way done any thing or uttered any word which was considered insulting to the Holy Prophet Mohammed, was it open to the appellant and others with him to constitute themselves into a court of law to pronounce the death sentence on another citizen?

“Plainly, this was jungle justice at its most primitive and callous level.

“The facts of this case are rather chilling and leave one wondering why the appellant and others with him committed this most barbaric act.”

or most of the looting 'born again" Presidents, ministers and governors I believe that have killed people with misppropriation of funds and half executed projects in Nigeria.

and the "born again" president told you he was looting in the name of Jesus? and you find anywhere in the bible where looting of public treasuries are encouraged?

almondjoy:

Is it only when you carry a knife or a gun in the name of Islam that you have "bombed" someone. More people die from the hands of non religious attacks than form religious ones in Nigeria and allover the world so I have to yawn at your suicide bombing tale too!

this is nonsense. No one is complaining about deaths from tsunamis, road accidents, diseases. We are talking about the rights of others to practice their religion in peace. We are talking about people who cry about "peace" but yet are ready to slit your throat at the slightest provocation. We are talking about people who kill nigerians over cartoons drawn in Denmark.

laudate:

True!! sad Well said!! cheesy

anything is "well said" and "true" as long as they agree with your limited oppinion.

yawn . . . remind me when next you meet a christian suicide bomber.
The same recycled propaganda.

Laudate, you make a lot of noise saying essentially nothing. Christians are whipped, deported, persecuted, but they are not killed bla bla bla - so we should all jump up and congratulate the Saudis?

Yawn!


Don't let this hatred blind you. You are so fixated on Saudis, yet I also mentioned Dubai in the same breath. It took an extra "how many pages", before you conceded the fact that the word 'Dubai' was there at all.

As for noise, you too have been making a lot of it, especially each time you find it so hard to acknowledge the basic points that have been made. Am yet to see any objectivity in here.

When people have concrete, workable, sensible solutions to the carnage, (instead of bally-aching about Islam which doesn't add anything new to the debate) let them paste it here, for others to read.

Until then, sayonara.

The next time a group of Christians any where in the world rise up with machetes shouting "Jesus is Lord" and slaughtering Muslims,some one should tell me.

We should thank God that most Muslims are not like Muhammad and don't aspire to be.

If it were so,we would be in deep trouble.
He was a very violent killer and preached so

Dubai as has been pointed out to you is a tourist destination and is 80% expatriate! your level of comprehension is pretty low.

You have made no points worth looking at besides the fact that we should all applaud the Saudis for merely persecuting, whipping and deporting christians as against killing them. Cant see what i need to be objective about in there.

Oh, my level of comprehension is pretty low? Um, were you the one complaining about personal attacks a while ago?? Jeez!!

As for Dubai being a tourist destination, when did you point that out? After how many pages of latching on to Saudi, as if that was the only place mentioned in that post?

No you can't see anything, except what fits into your hate-filled vision. No one asked you to applaud the Saudis. All that was pointed out is that Christians are not killed in a predominantly Islamic country like Saudi, with the same frequency with which they are attacked & killed in certain parts of the far North.

Um, I forgot. . . .such a comment doesn't fit into your world view.

Yeah, and since neither you nor your side-kick have been able to diagnose the root causes, (except to rant & rave about Islam, which is your favourite past time) who are you to talk about silliness?

Isn't it funny how Laudate shifts her position depending on the situation? grin

the Islamic religion supports jihad, and the killing of infidels. So, what is there to understand?

Guess who said the above?Our girl,Laudate grin Don't believe me?Check out this thread.Post 8-https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria?topic=77592.msg1490852#msg1490852
