The anti-Islam movements' approach has been prejudiced, colored and unscientific. Their disinformation and misinformation based on exaggeration and fabrication touches the borders of imaginary events, and their attitude towards Muslims is dogmatic, unsympathetic and even hostile. This is generating pollution and because of this, the dirty A.I.R. (Anti- Semitism, Islamophobia and Racism) is in the air.

We must continue to fight the pollution of Anti-Semitism, Islamophobia and Racism (A.I.R.). Let us work together to reduce pollution of hatred and extremism, clean the dirty air , dispense the truth, engage in building bridges of understanding and tolerance, strive hard to uphold diversity, and continue to support outreach programs.

Through working together our hopes increase
To live in a world full of love and peace

abdulkayus:

Musa is a muslim name, equivalent of Moses in xtianity. Bt d northern xtains take it to be hausa name, so dey named their children Musa instead of Moses. Likewise Yakubu = Jacob
Suleiman = Solomon
Nuhu = Noah
Ibrahim = Abraham
Maryam = Mary
Hauwa = Eve
Saratu = Sara e.t.c

bt there are names which are hausa in nature inwhich both d northern muslims and xtains bears like Sani, Danlami, Galadima, Aboki, Abba, Danfulani, Hassana, Hassan, Garba, etc

The information you've supplied is highly irrelevant & of no use. What Nigeria needs from you is to show us where you've hidden your terrorist brothers in your iterior villages & also help in exposing them & facilitate the tremendous growth & development which ur Boko brothers have brought to a standstill in Nigeria. That, my dear Abdulkayus is what we need you to tell us.

First, I dont know why some people feel hurt about somebody's life which has no bearing on their own existence. It is at the moment like this that I do appreciate my parent and my people so much. We always see religion as private affair.
For those that inquire about what the man meant by traditional religion, muslims believe that islam is traditional religon because a child is born a muslim but parents and society turn him or her to any religion. We should all try to learn a little about other religion.

fkaz: Vice Chairman of the Council of Village Heads in Imo State, Chief Sylvester O. Dimunah, has said he accepted Islam due to the truthful nature of the religion and the steadfastness of Muslims.
Speaking when he visited Media Trust Office yesterday in Abuja, the traditional ruler whose name is now Musa Dimunah, said he was particularly influenced by the good nature of the former secretary of the council and the executive secretary of Justice Mamman Nasir Islamic Centre for Peace and Research, Malam Ibrahim BioboNlomije.



“I did not accept Islam, I only revert to the religion that our forefathers practice and the universal religion of humanity. I’m impressed by the good nature of Muslims’ love for everybody and hatred for none apart from the way they revere Allah and all the Prophets without discrimination.

“I am also impressed by the brotherhood and mutual respect for each other and other members of the community,” he said.

He also said he was not under any pressure to drop his old name for becoming a Muslim and that his children and other family members did not oppose his being a Muslim.

noblezone: This confused man does not know what he has done to himself.

He has converted to Islam peacefully.
Let him convert from Islam to another religion: then the merciful messengers of Allah will declare a powerful fatwah on his head.

This is so unfortunate.

Can you imagine all form of anti-islam responses? What has happened is a plus to Islam and the unbelievers still make reference to Boko Haram and a funny virgin story formed and promulgated by themselves.
My main point is that, this news is not for the christian to be happy, but it doesn't not mean they should keep pouring their poison out.
And for those who still deny, there are no Igbo Muslims, they live in the past as the population keeps growing, especially in Imo and Ebonyi States.

superior 2:
my brother it is we muslims that are not following Islam in way that it suppose to be followed. If only we muslims on nairaland will convey Islam in a right manner then without a shadow of doubt every single christian on nairaland will convert to Islam by the will of our maker because Allah said in the glorious Qur'an "closest to the believers are christians. The problem is that you people are judging Islam by the muslim not by the Qur'an. Judge Islam according to what is revealed in the Qur'an. Let me advice you brother, take your time read the Qur'an in a language that you understand I guarantee u it will change your life.
Just like it has change the life of boko-haram northerns abi. My guy what ur quran has been churning out are terrorists,from Afghanistan to Yemen to Pakistan to Somalia down to northern Nigeria& now Mali just to mention but few .Perhaps I don't know the quiran u are referring to. I guess its not the manual for terrorism .......

Dap07: He wants to marry more wives...
Now as a Muslim the maximum he can have is four if he can be just to them. As an Igbo chief he could have ten or more or just have a concubine like Ojukwu. The owelle of onitcha and my very own Zik of Africa had 7 wives I was reliably informed.

Your second sentence implies that NORTHERNERS covert to Christianity everyday. Your last sentence indicate how impossible it would be due to intolerance. You need to chose. You can't say no and yes all at once.
