Stop Being A 21st Century Muslim? by pmc01(m): 9:43pm On Feb 20, 2013
It has come to notice that some so-called 'moderate' Muslims have been condemning a fellow Muslim for writing against celebrating late Goldie Harvey, who has been surrounded with controversy in life and in death, as a national icon. I must say it is very unfortunate for this set of people. This is what I think about them:
'Follow-follow no make me get common sense' na im dey worry many of them. Looking critically at their problem, you'll discover it's inferiority complex that has weakened their morale. They are under self-inflicted pressure to always put up that '21st century' Muslim show. May Allah save us from such disastrous calamity. Amiin.
My advice for them is discover their identity before they get irredeemably lost. If you can't stand firmly for Islam, you will eventually end up miserable. It isn't a curse, it's a known fact; you will just find yourself alone, cold in the wilderness eventually.
The time to embrace your natural identity is now!!!

maclatunji: OP, I am a Muslim living in the 21st century now.

I do not think that is the point, he is trying to make. There are certain sections of the muslim population with a dangerous mindset that involves accepting certain things that are totally unacceptable in the religion. They do this in the name of modernism e.t.c.

Thank you for that Tbaba. Simply put, do not lose your Originality because you came in the 21st century. Islam is not music that has to change with time. And thanks for the 'joke' Mac.

Imma say this real quick.

What is so bad about someone just allowing this woman RIP? She had people who loved and cherished her for who she was. Everyday while she was alive people condemned her, and even in death still condemn her. All the hypertension she had killed her eventually and i feel like it might be because of how many people were judging her actions. Remember thou shall not judge ryt? Im sure there is a Quranic verse for that.
I mean everybody is human. Whatever one does will always be criticised, no matter how good. As a muslim, you know very well about not speaking ill of the dead. If you are perfect yourself, without sin at all, please continue bashing her.

But if you have nothing good to say, about someone you never even knew personally, just SHUT UP!!


RIP GOLDIE.

Please the moderators should stop posting religious threads on the frontpage.

I take it Seun is a muslim. Cos when I wanted to post this, I got this Nairaland message---> "To avoid being banned, please ensure that your post is not offensive to Islam."[color=#990000][/color] Meanwhile Christian threads face rubbish left, right and centre. Yet no moderation. Either Seun is a muslim or you have sold out on the free speech and liberal ideals that used to be the bedrock of this site. I don't support religious insult, at the same time I detest censorship of speech and ideas. Anyone who comes to Nairaland and sees comments he or she doesn't like should leave and never come back. Period.

There is nothing like moderate muslims, you are a muslim or not, the Prophet and Messenger of Allah and his Sahabas (companions) are muslims, and Islam beyond the changes of time and centuries.

RIP GOLDIE.

This bros. don vex. It is a really delicate balance, you don't want to speak ill of the dead but at the same time you don't want to start ascribing virtues they never had whilst they were alive to them. That has grave implications for the society at large.

sir, try and get it right, the OP is not trying to judge Goldie in any way. The OP is criticizing some muslims who are trying to support celebrating Goldie's death as an Icon(or whatever) which is not good as a muslim. And Tunji even showed a thread which comdemed such by a non muslim.

No, you posted a link that says Islam is a 'bad' religion and claimed you want to educate people about 'moderate muslims'.

If you are going to post antiIslamic links, don't lie about it. That will get you a ban from me. Don't pretend to be a Muslim here to post offensive content.

How can A sane Muslim wish such A person RIP? The person who exposed her Body, who sang Haram Song. many palestinians are killed unjustly every day. Muslims dont have time to pray for them, but they do for A wayward musician.
