was Achebe born and raised in US? read the topic before posting.

KingPradas: Let's get some facts clear here. These two men killed a British Soldier, not an innocent civilian. They clearly identify themselves as Muslims, but that doesn't mean they represent the religion of Islam and/or over 2 Billion Muslims worldwide.

The British Army/Navy has committed heinous crimes throughout the world, and still continue to do so in Muslim countries today. In these countries, innocent Muslim women and children are killed or maimed every day, LITERALLY. Imagine living with that type of terror. The Media wants you to believe that these Men hate YOU, the civilian, and your way of life. But thats false. They want to save their people from oppression. They want the killing of innocent Muslims to stop. "Eye for an eye, Tooth for a tooth".

The problem is people in the west don't understand how these Men are willing to give their life for complete strangers that have no connection to themselves other than the religion of Islam. So they assume that they're insane/crazy or what-have-you. The fact is Islam teaches Muslims that they are all ONE body. and if One body part is experiencing pain, then the whole body feels it, and of course must do something to remedy the pain

What is the difference between a Drone bomb and a beheading? Why is one less savage then the other? Why are western countries consistently invading poor Middle Eastern countries? Why did the news anchor cut out most of this Man's words and talk over him? Was this man not speaking English?

I don't excuse this Man's actions, because I don't know if that British Soldier was a good man or not. If he actually killed innocent Muslims or not. But perspective is important. This news anchor wants you to pick a side. You don't always have to pick an absolute side, but it is better to understand both sides. That's where the truth is.

of course it was evil.
and Nigerians have every right to be worried. if you live in UK as a Nigerian u would be worried too. I worry for innocent Nigerians in the UK who might suffer increased persecution because of this incident.

ON THE WOOLWICH KILLING

For not convicted the murderers of STEVEN LAWERENCE in 1993 is a clear RACISM but they were not tagged TERRORIST because they were not Muslims. We live in a wicked world. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murder_of_Stephen_Lawrence

I remember a guy who shot dead about 78 people in 2011 was not tagged a terrorist too in US. I am a Muslim and can't just imagine me slapping someone not to talk of killing (God forbid).

But truth be said, as you can see how the guy filmed in that killing acted, he killed and didn't even run. I see this as killing out of provocation because he even acted UN-Islamic but who knows this guy may have his Brothers killed by the British army back home.

I have a boss I worked under at Cyprus, he is a Palestinian and 7 of his Brothers were shot in the eyes by the US and British army. What do you think this man will do if he sighted any British army or if he has opportunity to visit UK or US at all? We need to tell the truth, no human being is superior to another! God knows the reason why he created me black and you white and He has reason for created me Muslims and you Christian.

UK and US government needs to stop inflicting bad policies on the Muslim countries and provide a level ground for justice for all. They should let the nationals govern their country the way they like.

We are all here talking about one person been killed here but Millions of people have been killed in Afghanistan, Palestine, Syria etc Women are being raped and killed by the soldiers there everyday, Children are getting killed, Women are denied access to water to mention few. Are these people not human being like a British or US citizen

I pray West come to their senses so we can have a save world!

arthgideon: What this guy did to the British soldier is completely barbaric. The guy is a Nigerian. Though he lived in England for most of his live. You could see the guys hand all covered in blood, sick. Nigerians should accept the fact that he is a Nigeria even though he is connected to terrorism.

obadiah777: BUT HE IS A NIGERIAN. YOU ARE NOT WHERE YOU ARE BORN. YOU ARE YOUR HERITAGE. IF I PLANT AN APPLE SEED IN CHINA WHAT WILL COME OUT ? AN APPLE. IF I PLANT THE SAME APPLE SEED IN NIGERIA WHAT WILL COME OUT ? AN APPLE. YOU ARE NOT WHERE YOU ARE BORN. THATS A PREPOSTEROUS CARNAL AND SHALLOW ASSERTION. WE ALL HAVE LINEAGES. JUST CUZ A CHINESE MAN IS BORN IN NIGERIA DOES NOT MEAN HE IS NIGERIAN

robinicule: although he has nigerian parents,,...he shouldnt be described as a nigerian, because he doesnt have our mentality,..no
Nigerian, will go out on the street and do such, most especially in another man's land, where he or she,...is keeping his or head

Gbawe: It has been interesting reading all the responses on Nairaland over this horrific attack. I do feel issues have to be put in perspective. English media has always done this. I.e accentuate the foreign origin of a Briton when the issue being reported is crime-related.

Whereas, they make no mention of foreign lineage when it is individual heroism or positive achievement being discussed. This behaviour is now 'default mode' for them. Yet, rational Britons, unconnected with politics and the media, are no longer buying the distraction. Many have agreed unequivocally that Adebolajo is "as British as you and me".

British press can continue to do their thing to serve their agenda of xenophobia and scaremongering about immigration but Britons are seeing through the ruse and noting that this open show of bias is unhelpful in the long run.

MiloRambaldi:

What did the 7 Palestinians do to the US and British Army? Did U bother to ask? Where were they shot? If they had joined some terrorist group and went to Afghanistan and got killed, is that why Muslims should be barbaric like Mujahid?

Those justifying what this sick Mujahid dude did are seriously in need of help.

truth.com:


This is where you people do get it wrong and until we are able to tell the truth, the world cannot be save. So all the millions killed in those countries are the one taking arms against the British or US troops? Even including women??
Lets fear God and say the truth because it may happen at our side in future.

MiloRambaldi:

You are dodging the issue. How did the US and British army kill the 7 brothers? In their sleep?

You are the one getting it wrong. If u r talking of accidental collateral damage, it another matter. But to expect the world to stand by while terrorists are bred and trained in Afghanistan and Mali is wistful thinking. No one wants another 911.

truth.com:


Ok Good and now that they are being breed in Nigeria, US can come tomorrow and destroy the whole of Nigeria. Is that what you mean? When drone is launched against a town, it will differentiate the innocent civilians from the guilty fighters?

MiloRambaldi:

Pls stop spouting what is untrue. Drones are used for targeted strikes against individuals, vehicles or a house. Not like it's nuking a whole town. It's based on this and other forms of lies that extremisms springs from.

and Brother don't misquote me, He who ever kill someone in Islam is @ his own level. Allah or his prophet will never support him. There are guidelines for fighting in Islam. All I am just saying is that people pay much attention to the killings in the western world compare to the Arab world. I don't know how many people Israeli Soldiers or UK army would have killed today. Only God knows, but this we all overlook as if we are not concerned and as if people killed there were not human being. I condemn the Woolwich killing in a strong term but let the whole world condemn the American, UK and Israeli killings in the Arab world too. We can't continue like this

Sunehri_145:
Help me tell them oo! They are denying their brother because he's a terrorist. British/Nigeria/Yoruba

MiloRambaldi:

The same crap - US and British soldiers killing Muslims. Where? You just keep repeating this untruth.

Fine, Bush dragged the US wrongly into Iraq just to topple Saddam, but they are out of there now. Where else are these Muslims being butchered by the West? Afghanistan? What led to the US to be in Afghanistan? I guess the West should have allowed the terrorist camps there free reign to propagate their violence.

On Palestine, yes Israel overreacts sometimes, but let's not forget the role of Palestinians in this conflict. They are as guilty if not more than the Israelis for the violence there. Let's not forget the rockets and suicide attacks against Israelis. And with the way Islamists are spreading violence, perhaps more and more nations should adopt the Israelis' tactics.
