[font=Lucida Sans Unicode][/font]I BET IT WITH U GUYS HERE,LIKE QURAN SAYS:U SHOULD ALWAYS SEARCH FOR KNOWLEDGE.
I THINK THE BEST THING U ARE TO DO IS TO STUDY UR BIBLE VERY WELL AND HOLD THE TRUTH IN IT.LIKEWISE THE MUSLIMS SHOULD SEARCH FOR KNOWLEDGE VERY WELL AND HOLD THE TRUTH.THE ONLY THING HERE IS THAT,MOST CHRISTIANS ONLY SAY WHAT THERE PASTOR TEACHES THEM IN THE SENSE THAT THEY DONT GO BACK TO THEIR HOLY BOOK TO CHECK WHATEVER ITS BEEN PREACHES AND THE WAY THE PASTOR TRANSLATE IT TO THEM.AS A YOUNG LADY,I APPRECIATE THE WAY THE MUSLIM TEACHES THERE KIDS THEIR HOLY BOOK TO LEARN FROM SMALL AND MAKE THEM READ THROUGH IT AND TRANSLATE IT THEMSELVES.THEY MAKE SURE THEY UNDERSTAND THE TEACHES THROUGH WHAT THEY READ IN THE HOLY BOOK BUT NOT THROUGH ONLY WHAT THE IMAM SAYS.EVEN A LITTLE BABY BELIEVE THAT AS A MUSLIM WHATEVER SHE AV WILL BE SHARED AMONG THE NEEDY AND THAT SHE IS NOT SUPERIOR TO HER MAID because ITS THESE WHITE CLOTH AND MAT THAT WILL BE USED TO BURY HER NOT EXPENSIVE COFFIN.
OUR TITHE MONEY,WHAT ARE THEY USED FOR?
I NEED ANSWER ASAP,because WE AV TO BE REALISTIC.

"The Reasons Why Muslim Religious Leaders Dont Have Private Jets

Re: Why Are Muslim Imams Not Buying Private Jets? by nokingasgod: 1:46pm On Nov 13, 2012
1. Honestly, morally and Godly speaking, they do not need it neither do the Bishops too.

2. Truly, they may desire it but fortunately for their souls, they do not have access to such fraudulent funds. Islam does not permit it. How much zaqat does the Chief Imam want to collect on how many Fridays for him to misappropriate in buying a private jet?

3. Godly, in this regard, Islam is closer to God and is godlier than Christianity. Islam preaches a better way of wealth re-distribution and commitment to a ''Godly'' cause whereas Christianity is vulnerable to manipulations and fraudulent leaderships.

answer. let one imam in the north attempt to buy a private jet, the muslim northerners will disown him. there was a rumor that the late president unaru gave sheikh ahmed gummi a brand new jeep after the 2011 elections. it was just a rumor o wic was false but the reactions were hot and negative. pple see the imams as their voice to the govt. so if the imam decides to join the govt , what is left for them. the poor muslims look up to the imams for inspiration, if the imam decides to start living a wealthy lifestyle, it wont go down well.

floriana: Late Gabriel Oduyemi, Enoch Adeboye, David Oyedepo and now Ayo Oritsejafor are all owners of large churches in Nigeria. One common thing among these men are ownership of private jet(s).

Seeing that in Nigeria, we always do things with 'federal character'. This makes one wonder why the leaders of the other major religion not to go into jet buying spree too. Is it that they don't need it or they just don't know how to raise the cash like their counterpart Christian pastors?
That's probably because the Imams are still too underdeveloped in their ways of thinking. Remember, Islam as a religion refused to evolve. Muslims of today still dressed as in the olden days and still enforces their primitive laws in a century that no longer requires it.
Likewise, you wouldn't expect the teachers of the backward religion to suddenly start owning private jets and such. How can they, when there is not even a single chair in their place of worship!
It would be the biggest betrayal of all indeed if an Imam acquires a private jet, while his congregation(or whatever they call it) goes about on foot or bicycle(like they are prone to)

Re: Why Are Muslim Imams Not Buying Private Jets? by blackmale1: 2:30pm On Nov 13, 2012
maclatunji: @topic. Sincere Muslim Imams cannot own Private Jets except it is from the proceeds of their personal business- this is highly unlikely because the job of an Imam is time-consuming and tasking such that the holder of the position might not have the time to build-up a business empire that would allow him to afford one.

By the way, it is rather wasteful to spend huge sums on private jets when you could use that amount available to you to help the needy that surround you as a religious leader.
Who says they dont help the needy? must they sell all they have and give to the needy before u notice. I have seen them sponsor students through school,distributed food to hungry people. I have befited in more ways than one'if you need a witness'. Must these guys eradicate poverty before you know they care!!! and if u argue that they are not doing enough,then,how much is enough.
Re: Why Are Muslim Imams Not Buying Private Jets? by RedLight1: 2:32pm On Nov 13, 2012
i dont know why muslims are so intolerant .. look at the big macla here .. he cant stand simple joke against against islam..but his people can go on christian threads to follow atheist abuse pastors, or churches that does something wrong... if u feel people are ignorant about your religion, what will cost u to enlighten like the christians? but heck no, terrorist mentality ... i will rather blow them up rather than let em talk em nonsense about my religion (in ur case, i will rather ban and hide their post instead of allowing them say anything about my religion)...and someone is telling me ur ideology is not thst of terrorists .... allah akbar have got nothing against u or ur religion, but its time for u to make people see reason instead of allowing them to hate ur religion more ... word of advice ... peace

Imams can't buy private jet because it is expensive to buy and smuggle weapons(guns and bombs) into the country... Also the cost of gathering intel is high not to talk of the cost of carrying out the actual jihad... For an idea on how much they spend doing all these please contact the Ministry of Defence....

Frankly, if imams are able to get d money, fame, attention and recognition that pastors are getting, they will buy jets too. They are humans and they will also have their own reasons too. Stop labelling imams as being more religious than pastors. NOBODY HOLY PASS!!
Re: Why Are Muslim Imams Not Buying Private Jets? by vedaxcool(m): 2:51pm On Nov 13, 2012
Muslims imams do not own private jets because money donated to mosque is not for private use. Usually the money is used for maintanace of the mosques assisting the needy and poor, and promoting Islam. Hence imams know that you cannot spend peoples' money like your personal pocket money. In Nigeria it remains the hieght of disgrace and shame that certain "religious" leaders would prefer pilfering money donated by the public to finance their over sized egos. But the peak of this shame is using it to purchase private jets that are expensive to maintain and while at the same time seeing members of their congregation leaving a life of squalor! I pray the ummah never fall into such a state of cruelty and wickedness! Amin.
