I have watched this video before. Being brilliant does not mean one cannot be evil. Hitler and Stalin were also very brilliant and the world recorded them as the most ruthless dictators of the 20th century.

Zakir Naik was here defending himself from all the allegation brought against him; he was not on the law court. He should rather go back to his home country, India, and defend himself if he is not a coward. Mohammed was also prosecuted in India (mecca) and he ran to Malaysia (Medina) where he formed a large army and came back to reconquer India (Mecca). Nothing is stoppin Zakir Naik from forming a large army in Malaysia to come back and conquer India and impose Islam on all of them.

You and true2god should explain this stupidity to us. I said it before and will say it again. Black people, especially Black CHRISTIANs are very stupid and more silly and stupid than muslims. Christian religion is pretty much pro-slavery than Islam as true2god wants us to believe. https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=1463816627105475&id=961100520710424&fs=1&focus_composer=0

Islam makes sense by far

Christianity and islam both enslave Africans.


But islam is the worst.

How many christian suicide bombers can you list in the last decade?
How many pedophile weddings (to girls under 16) have been blessed by christianity? In islamic countries, it is rampant and blessed by imams.


Do you know how many black africans live like slaves in the middle east and north africa?


Furthermore, atheists and christians can live in harmony. Atheism is illegal in 13 muslim countries.


Ogbeni, dont be a hypocrite.

How can you separate Islam from the arabs? It is a religion that originated from them and also shaped according to their environment and culture. And since arabs and mohammed are slave merchant, i will right to link arab slavery with islamic slavery. This is just a common logic.

[quote author=Empiree post=81630612][/quote]This is bad; it is not good for an adult man to marry an under-aged girl. The picture you posted are people who are not prophet who never called themselves 'the best of mankind'. Your prophet called himself 'the best of mankind' and muslims praised him as 'the greatest of all prophets' and yet he married a girl of 6 years old, baby aisha, and started sleeping with her when she became 9. Your prophet is a bad moral example.

you have acknowledged your fellow CHRISTIAN men married to young girl is bad. Why did you have to bring our Prophet into this?. The case is closed since you have acknowledged.

okay then. Since you so much love to lump them, it means White slave trade which includes transatlantic slave trade and Roman Empire atrocities were inspired by Christianity till today. Here are few Roman Empire and Biblical details.


In New Testament: Slavery in the Roman Empire was a fact of life. Most people could not imagine a society without slaves. Some people spoke out against the mistreatment of slaves, and there were slave revolts, but no abolitionist movement existed. This proves there was no attempt by Christians to end slave trade before Prophet muhammad. It is clear slaves were traded by Christians.

The fate of a slave depended largely on the temperament of his or her master. Masters could punish slaves brutally for real or perceived infractions. Sexual abuse of slaves was also common. Slave work included hard labor as well as skilled service like tutoring, bookkeeping, and estate managing. Masters often freed slaves—and for numerous reasons, including as a reward for obedience and loyalty. Written contracts, however, commonly enforced continued work by freed slaves for their former masters. A wide range of circumstances dictated whether a slave would be educated, illiterate, poor, wealthy, abused, or comfortable.

New Testament writers lived in the Roman Empire and likewise adopted widespread attitudes about slaves. Some New Testament passages rely on negative stereotypes, such as slaves being lazy (Matt 25:26). Other passages use slavery as a metaphor for faithfulness. Paul calls himself a “slave of Jesus Christ” as a sign of devotion (Rom 1:1). Jesus compares the impossible task of a slave serving two masters to followers who must choose between wealth and God (Matt 6:24, Luke 16:13). Several passages address slaves directly, which is evidence that they were attracted to the early Jesus movement (1Cor 7:21, 1Tim 6:1, 1Pet 2:18). Christian slaves navigated the complex world of enslavement with their new faith.

The most famous slave in the New Testament epistles is Onesimus, the slave of Philemon. In a short letter, Paul implores Philemon to receive Onesimus as “a beloved brother” (Phlm 16). Whether Paul intended freedom for Onesimus is a matter of debate because Paul never explicitly requests his freedom. Other New Testament letters forcefully instruct slaves to obey their masters (Eph 6:5-8, Col 3:22-24, 1Tim 6:1-2, 1Pet 2:18, Titus 2:9-10). Some passages tell masters to treat slaves better—an indication that some Christians treated their slaves poorly (Eph 6:9, Col 4:1).


The New Testament does contain several passages that demonstrate resistance to slavery. Slave traders are included in a list of those who are lawless, probably because many acquired slaves illegally (1Tim 1:10). Another passage condemns the immoral trade of luxury goods in the Roman Empire, concluding with “bodies,” a common euphemism for slaves (Rev 18:13). These indictments of the slave trade are unusual but welcome voices in the New Testament.


Clearly, slavery existed I'm the time of Jesus but Bible writers portrayed slaves trade to be metaphorical incident which is not. We are not fools
