tonychristopher:Don't make conclusions on what you don't know. Have you read the Quran? I am not a muslim but I have read the Quran in it's entirety due to the course I studied in uni and there is nothing about terrorism in it. Criticise only what you know 1 Like |

olukenzo: Lol. Wrong perception. Not my fault at all that the questions looked silly to you, your fault! You did not answer any of the questions asked which were actually very simple and straight forward. You probably had difficulty understanding the questions hence your failure to provide answers to them, or you just decided to evade them because of you couldn't come up with reasonable answers. I think I'll go with the latter... I wonder what point you where trying to make/you think you made by what you put up there Totally off the point, those comparisons are totally out of place. How can you even compare Yoruba, with 'Islam', a religion? You obviously don't know the meaning of lingua franca. If a cleric understands Yoruba language, for example, and the children he is to teach understand it also, why can't he just teach them in the common language instead of flogging them to learn quran in arabic, recite, etc? Isn't that the essence of the translations You may not bother to reply me please. #out |

Youngsage: I read our back and forth out to some people, we all had a good laugh. An elderly one felt I should have left you in your tomfoolery, now he thinks you think too much of your self -- my first impression, actually. lol Why don't we teach children science and mathematics in Yoruba as well, since they already understand Yoruba...? Why must code, source code be written in a language that is largely English? Crying more than the bereaved!? "YoungSage" lmao. 1 Like |

olukenzo: Lol. Definitely to some pple of your ilk, who cant comprehend simple questions. I only cited yoruba as an example, of course you are free to teach your kids science in yoruba if you like. All I did was to ask u questions, and you couldn't answer. You and your cohorts were obviously beffudled by the questions, and instead of providing answers, resorted to spewing irrelevant balderdash. smh |

I'm nt going religious with dis but let's look at it logically, a lot of Muslim pple have a bible to read for different reasons, at least I knw a lot, while it is rare for u to see a Christian reading a Qur'an, cuz even if he wants to, he can't read nor understand d language.This is to say dat Muslims are part of the number of people who have purchased a bible at one point in time 2 Likes |

tonychristopher: 1. Blessed is He in Whose Hand is the dominion, and He is Able to do all things. 2. Who has created death and life, that He may test you which of you is best in deed. And He is the All-Mighty, the Oft-Forgiving; 3. Who has created the seven heavens one above another, you can see no fault in the creations of the Most Beneficent. Then look again: "Can you see any rifts?" 4. Then look again and yet again, your sight will return to you in a state of humiliation and worn out. 5. And indeed We have adorned the nearest heaven with lamps, and We have made such lamps (as) missiles to drive away the Shayatin (devils), and have prepared for them the torment of the blazing Fire. 6. And for those who disbelieve in their Lord (Allah) is the torment of Hell, and worst indeed is that destination. 7. When they are cast therein, they will hear the (terrible) drawing in of its breath as it blazes forth. 8. It almost bursts up with fury. Every time a group is cast therein, its keeper will ask: "Did no warner come to you?" 9. They will say: "Yes indeed; a warner did come to us, but we belied him and said: 'Allah never sent down anything (of revelation), you are only in great error.'" 10. And they will say: "Had we but listened or used our intelligence, we would not have been among the dwellers of the blazing Fire!" 11. Then they will confess their sin. So, away with the dwellers of the blazing Fire. 12. Verily! Those who fear their Lord unseen (i.e. they do not see Him, nor His Punishment in the Hereafter, etc.), theirs will be forgiveness and a great reward (i.e. Paradise). 13. And whether you keep your talk secret or disclose it, verily, He is the All-Knower of what is in the breasts (of men). 14. Should not He Who has created know? And He is the Most Kind and Courteous (to His slaves) All-Aware (of everything). 15. He it is, Who has made the earth subservient to you (i.e. easy for you to walk, to live and to do agriculture on it, etc.), so walk in the path thereof and eat of His provision, and to Him will be the Resurrection. 16. Do you feel secure that He, Who is over the heaven (Allah), will not cause the earth to sink with you, then behold it shakes (as in an earthquake)? 17. Or do you feel secure that He, Who is over the heaven (Allah), will not send against you a violent whirlwind? Then you shall know how (terrible) has been My Warning? 18. And indeed those before them belied (the Messengers of Allah), then how terrible was My denial (punishment)? 19. Do they not see the birds above them, spreading out their wings and folding them in? None upholds them except the Most Beneficent (Allah). Verily, He is the All-Seer of everything. 20. Who is he besides the Most Beneficent that can be an army to you to help you? The disbelievers are in nothing but delusion. 21. Who is he that can provide for you if He should withhold His provision? Nay, but they continue to be in pride, and (they) flee (from the truth). 22. Is he who walks without seeing on his face, more rightly guided, or he who (sees and) walks on a Straight Way (i.e. Islamic Monotheism). 23. Say it is He Who has created you, and endowed you with hearing (ears), seeing (eyes), and hearts. Little thanks you give. 24. Say: "It is He Who has created you from the earth, and to Him shall you be gathered (in the Hereafter)." 25. They say: "When will this promise (i.e. the Day of Resurrection) come to pass? if you are telling the truth." 26. Say (O Muhammad ): "The knowledge (of its exact time) is with Allah only, and I am only a plain warner." 27. But when they will see it (the torment on the Day of Resurrection) approaching, the faces of those who disbelieve will be different (black, sad, and in grieve), and it will be said (to them): "This is (the promise) which you were calling for!" 28. Say (O Muhammad ): "Tell me! If Allah destroys me, and those with me, or He bestows His Mercy on us, - who can save the disbelievers from a painful torment?" 29. Say: "He is the Most Beneficent (Allah), in Him we believe, and in Him we put our trust. So you will come to know who is it that is in manifest error." 30. Say (O Muhammad ): "Tell me! If (all) your water were to be sunk away, who then can supply you with flowing (spring) water?" 2 Likes |

Youngsage: The boy that wrote 'Allah' and 'Islam' says I lack comprehension. Same one does not understand why Arabic should be referred to as the official language of Islam. And why it is easier to teach Yoruba, Hausa and Igbo children --who are contemporaries and sit for the same WASSCE-- mathematics in a common language, English. "Sage" |

tonychristopher:Your sense of reasoning is shallow. The holy Qur'an was written in it original form, just as it was sent and we Muslim pray with this language. There is only one version and type of Qur'an, which there is anywhere in the universe. So, think deep before criticism. 2 Likes |
