Well said. I am of the same opinion with the consular general. Its good of him to clarify issues. His response makes sense and portrays someone with a liberal mind set. I have opened a thread with a very similar message saying we were born into the tribe and religion we were in and that most religion preaches dogma and total faith, hence, we mostly remain in the religion we were born into and could have easily been born into either faith. This response is very important and should shape our mind set to be liberal and face our warrant with our creator. Much as Islam answers all my quest, had I been born a christian, it would be difficult for someone to convince me of changing religion and I could have been born an ibo or hausa too. I think the moral of this my story is to judge people based on their character rather than tribe or religion. I have met good ibos and bad yorubas and vise versa. 1 Like |

maclatunji: Fan indeed. This islam is a curse on the mind and an afliction to humanity. The world be a better place if someone had slit Muhammad's throat when he was thirty years old and maclatunji would have been an enlightened person. 5 Likes |

afam4eva:Am really impressed with the way you reason.I just hope others can remove that hatred they have for muslims before commenting.Am not suprised though,since they also do the same to their fellow christaings too.I read a thread yesterday about a guy seeking advice on changing his church from Winners chapel to Catholic.I was so amazed at the level of insult and unimaginable words directed at this guy and the Catholic church.If this can happen within christains,how much more btw. christains and muslims whom they have tagged as their sworn enemy.Anything the muslims do is deemed bad and evil. |

Well, the response so far on this trend is not strange but I will always say this "LET US STOP BEEN BIAS". Their is a word called designation and its worldly acceptable. If it is the other way round, the response would be "what is he going to do in the evil cor vine". Now he is been insulted for not attending the church service. We should stop this mentality or else we wont be any better than the BH guys who destroy violently and we destroy mentally which is even worse. 1 Like |

what I see as wrong is this condescending attitude. This letter is wrong in all ramifications. You wouldn't attend church services or you would when they suit you? I just don't like it when Religion is the excuse people give for their actions. It would be more appropriate to hear of his fear of such a gathering or of his busy schedule or that attending funerals isn't part of his job. |
Re: Nigeria's Consular-General, New York, I Am Not A Religious Bigot by deols(f): 6:07pm On Aug 15, 2012 |
and all of those hypocrites running mouth here and there. Would you as a christian or a non Muslim have attended an Islamic event? Were some of you not displaying joy at the destruction of a mosque not long ago? |

Can u point a Christian leader holding public position in nigeria that refuse to enter mosque when there is need too? Nobody is asking muslim leader to enter church since its not mandatory We asked someone that is representing nigeria not muslim. Simple as Abc |

Seriously we Nigerians have comprehension problems. Our mindsets were seriously altered either by God or Allah or Satan himself.. As a Catholic, i find it difficult to attend and spend 10 minutes in any other Christian Church let alone Islam. There is no law that requires the Consular General to attend Churches. I would do the same . |

Naija and drama....Funny thing, if na election period, the guy go enter church sharply.How many christians would actually go inside a mosque? Why do I need to go to church when I would not know how to sing? And I cannot say Amin when they pray in the name of Jesus I don't want to join in kneeling down before a human being |

The CG said he sent an igbo-catholic lieutenant for the event. I think it is left for the so called lieutenant to say why he has to come dressed so casual witout even entering the church. I see no reason why a christain consulate representative will act this way. If the man doesn't speak then the CG is hidin something |

No matter what you say,they will not make them view with open mind because HATE is already engraved in their minds. Once they hear Islam or Muslims the stereotype begins. He is a fanatics,Religious bigot,Boko haram etc. For some,they think when they castigate and demonise Islam,it makes their religion better. Every Nigerian Muslim is now a Boko Haram,a Terrorist.In a country where about 50% are muslims,if every muslim is a terrorist,i wonder if you will be comfortabily typing behind your pC. A South African last week called an Igbo man Boko Haram simply because he heared he is from Nigeria.Thats the same mistake we make when you call every Northerner a Boko Haram. There are approximately over 50 million good practicing muslims in Nigeria,they will not use that as bases for judging muslims conduct,they will rather use the conduct of about less than 10 thousand Boko haram because its beneficial for their cause. Who is the fanatics here? |
