To all the good muslims who mean no harm to anybody, I am so sorry things are happening this way, I want to tell you people I love and respect you, but the terrorists are giving you people a bad name. In these times it is quite difficult for a non muslim to know who is a terrorist and who is a good man who just happens to be a muslim.
Your women are the kindest I have ever found. I know a few who left the faith: some arab women. They are beautiful inside and outside. Such beautiful minds. The terrorists are causing problems between us and we have to fight them together.

patriot2:
That is not true, 80% of them are christians.

teskyg: Infact,there is one mosque around my house that blared their speaker every morning disturbing the neigbourhood with suspicious terrorist looking worshipers.Pls,Fashola come and do Justice to the Mosque cos they may be manufacturing bomb and pilling RPG and IED there.I suggest all Mosque should be relocated to the forest where they can co inhabits with the Amimals that they originally are.

Sweetnecta: @Patriot2: The bold undermines your previous "sympathy" for the muslims. You seem to underscore by the bold that Islam is inherently bad, and its a shocker that good people enters it. There are good people in idol worshiping and definitely Islam is far from it. Rather the best of the monotheistic religion is Islam, because it is radically monotheistic; just like each prophet [as] as they were radical in their view[s] to the people of their communities in their times. No prophet was compromising, but shunned disbelief, instead.
Those who abandoned "good' because it is wrapped with unattractive covering and or because there are rough people [boko haraam] on the way leading to it shall have to answer to their Lord for walking away from the truth, instead of migrating away from where they think the good is frowned upon.

Sweetnecta: How a muslim ordered the destruction of a mosque is beyond me, when he is even forbidden to destroy churches. Definitely, churches are less important to him than mosques are.
The messenger of Allah, Muhammad [as] at the battle of Badr told the people guarding him to leave because Allah has promised to protect him. And Allah [swt] is the best of Protectors.
After 911, the muslim communities in USA, specifically in New York City told the authorities that Allah is our Protector, not needing additional 'protector[s]'.

Fear of man is sign of lack of true faith. When a muslim leader is destroying Islamic places of worship because he fears harms from misguided group[s], instead of supplicating to God for protection, no wonder the state of religion is the way it is in the west; ignorance leading people to seek faith in the wrong quarters, thinking that they will be successful there. They fail to observe that poverty and test abounds in all religions and success on earth is not based on being in the correct religion and shall not matter on the Day of Assembly, where the nation of religion you belong to and your faith and deeds shall be the elements that matter to your Judge; God Almighty Allah.

greall1: I AM NOT HERE TO ARGUE WITH YOU 80% AWORI ARE MUSLIM

You are wrong 80% of Lagosians are christians and most of the rest are African religionists.

i think "idol worshippers" deserve more respect than muslims, because I have never heard of terrorists among them.
You want people to respect muslims yet you keep insulting "idol worshippers"!

Let me ask you one question: what is kaaba if not an idol, and what is "noble" coran if not an other idol.
What is a mosque if not an idol ?

@Sweetnecta

Whats wrong in a muslim ordering the destruction of a Mosque if its a security threat? Mind u, Fashola is the Chief security officer of Lagos State and not of Islam, Christianity or any other religion. If after all the tip-offs he's been getting on possible attacks, he allows the Mosques to stand and finally there is a terrorist attack, we all would blame him and call him incompetent, not so?

FYI, Churches cant be destroyed, why? They dont store bombs and other weapons for terrorism acts in 'em, SIMPLE.

Sweetnecta, what on earth do u mean here? Heaven will only help u if u help urself. So we all should sit back and be blasted to "shmiderings" when God himself has helped us with informations that'll be vital to our safety. ARE U IMPLYING WE SHOULD BE REACTIVE INSTEAD? SMH

Sweetnecta: @Vanstanzy: You will call him incompetent, but i won't. Security are of 2 parts; preparation of man and collective awareness of the community [and truly relying on God but not destroying the Houses of God because you are afraid of man]. Imagine if the masajid were in office complexes. Will Fashola raze 5 skyscrapers because of 5 simple floors? What is the use of security details; the police, the Intelligence apparatus? Is destruction of buildings the solution here and the Nigerian government have masajid standing in Abuja and other places? 5 masajid today. How many tomorrow? Better, when the muslims are not the focus, how many churches or other buildings will be destroyed? America has not destroyed a masjid, yet. No governor has advocated that in a country where muslims are minority and epicenter of the worst national desaster in recent memory. Yet the Governor of Lagos state, most of his yoruba indigents are muslims. Ogun state next door is mostly muslims has the gut to destroy mosques. What does he say to his Lord about this act?


WHich mosque in Lagos has housed a single bomb? Please give us the address, or is atrocity committed in far away north an immediate reason to destroy mosques all over the places? So it is now permissible that if a man misbehaves in London, all men in New York should be viewed from the very prism of the action of the londoner? It is irrational. Yet masjid belongs to Allah; you make salaat, read Quran and supplicate/remember Allah in it. It is also a community center. When you destroy it, the effect is more than destroying your own house; it affects every muslim.


Everyone of us will die. God has ordained it so. So while God helps to preserve you, you should preserve the House of God for those who worship Him in it. It is not even permissible for muslim to destroy churches. Then is a mosque not also important to a muslim more than church is to him? Did you hear the British government destroying catholic churches during the IRA bombing spree? Well?

Sweetnecta: ^My opinion bites you. It is a pity that the muslims in Lagos have not protested against their muslim governor's action, against Islam in this case.

Sweetnecta: Patriot2 thinks those of us from the south are not muslims. You are wrong.
I am a yoruba man. There are no strong yoruba blood on earth than what flows in my veins.
My wife is from the eastern part of Nigeria and she is a muslim woman.

Sweetnecta: @Patriot2: I meant to say stronger; In essence there is no yoruba alive who is more of an authentic yoruba than my yorubaness. Yet, I am 100% muslim. It is Islam in me that makes me well. Otherwise people may think I am Yoruba, as the igbo people have been saying here. Or Yoruba, as I read them. What do the Hausas call us the yoruba people, because I have not read it? Are the tiv, idoma, ishekiri, etc silent about calling yoruba names?

Sweetnecta: none of the names offends me. my skin is like that of the elephant. even as you insult the muslims, mr. patrit2, the messenger [as] was insulted to his face and he did not flinch in his mission. again, islam is more important to me than yoruba, a tribe that i love passionately. so when the unifying building [masjid] is razed to the ground by a muslim, anywhere i feel sad. if its a non muslim that demolishes it, i will not less or more sad. we yoruba muslims love islam with all our heart and our individual soul yearns for its beauty, the reason we are in reverence to God, even in the face of attacks from people like you, denying me in my own place just because my religion is different from yours. oga.

Sweetnecta: Quran is recitation. Its in the heart, not just mere "Book". Any human being is worth saving, while papyrus can be reconstituted. I am not a tribalist; I am an authentic humanist in way of Islam.
