My issue is not that they have their board but moreso that their topics are advertised as if they are open for all, only to find out that the user is expected to accept a creed that many do not agree with.

Either remove the creed and ban those who break the general rules of nairaland. Or stop the publication of Muslim board topics on the front page.

Empiree:


If you do not go to Muslim board, fine. But stop worrying yourself if their topics made front page. It's really irrelevant to bicker over this. And no, Islamic topic making front page does not amount to advertisement. I detest the phrase. If s.eun did not complain, how is that your cup of Garri?.

If other sections including Christianity make front page, what's the problem if Islamic topics do the same?. Yes, it's for ALL to see but not for ALL to comment.

mmsen:


You cannot have it both ways.

You cannot present it for all but then hit people restrictions.

That is the point.

Other topics are open for to discuss without any peculiar restrictions.

No one is making non-xtians agree with the Apostle's Creed - if they did I would question such a policy.

The responses that I have read in this thread are another unfortunate example of how religion and reason do not mix.

U forgot to mention that Dubai, Qatar etc partnered with hundreds of "kaffir" US, UK and other westerned companies to develop their Emirates. U also forget to mention foreigners practically run those Emirates in the private sector and out number the indigenous Muslims 10 to 1.
You also forget the Emirates don't tale Islam serious and are far more secular than typical muslim countries including the very secular turkey.

U also forget the typical muslim country are the likes of Yemen, Iraq, Somalia, Libya, Iran, Egypt, Syria, north Sudan which are all a mess thanks to totalitarianism Islam's political ideology. Let's not forget the several defunct Islamic caliphates now extinct.

Lol the Muslims dilemma

Empiree:
Actually, the more you species bring this stuff up, the more I support MODs in Islamic section. I silently criticized them at some point, especially for banning views that do not compatible with his (mac). Myself was banned several times for unpopular views.

MODs do not ban non-muslims from commenting in Islam section. Their concern, which I have finally concurred with is that non-muslims, Christians especially, the so called God-loving, christ-like folks blaspheme in islam section a lot. Not only that, what they did that put me off was when bunch of them posted po'rn'ograpy (pictures). Even at that time (just last year), there was no WRITTEN DECLARATION at the 'gate'. Anyone could come in. Christians and atheists posted nasty pictures and distorted message of Islam. I witnessed this. MOD had to hide those pictures.

Now, I know macof can care less because, it is "free world" in your perspective. That's you unfortunately. But us (muslims), we are conscious of our religion ISLAM.

So no one is stopping you from commenting or opening threads in Islam section; provided, you watch it. Quran speaks (3:110)

You(muslims) are the best community ever been raised up for mankind. You enjoin right conduct and forbid indecency; and you believe in Allah. And if the People of the Scripture had believed it had been better for them. Some of them are believers; but most of them are evil-livers.

No christian condemned those posts. Question is, should MODS not do something about it?. Just imagine those inappropriate pictures are still there today.

true2god:
You make sense small here. The only issue I have here is your quran telling you that you are the best of mankind and we (non-muslims) 'vilest of creatures'. Thats xenophobic of the quran.

macof:


Why would you want all to see and prevent most from commenting?

Empiree:
[size=15pt]Why[/size] is the key word. It's the same WHY US visas are available for everyone to see but not everyone can apply or qualify.

9jaforlife:
The rule of accepting the Islamic Creed before commenting in Islamic section is there for a very simple and clear reason: CHRISTIANS ARE VERY FOND OF DISRESPECTING THEIR FAITH (ISLAM). They post outrighly denigrating insults that are mostly lies. Muslims hardly do this, when they do, it's mostly in response to an insulting post/comment.

These christians dedicate 99.9% of their time to Islam and they hardly ever post anything about their own religion. If they were allowed to freely roam in Islamic section, they would have turned it to 'Anti-Islam' section.

At least they're not prevented from viewing, I think that's good enough. The mods are fair in my opinion.

mmsen:


If Christians (or others) are going out of their way to be disrespectful and have broken the rules then they should be banned.

If the purpose of the Islamic section is self-preservation then even more reason why their threads should not show up on the front page.

9jaforlife:


People get banned and such bans are lifted, after which they continue in the old ways for which they were banned. Ifeann is a classic example.

Banning cannot solve the problem. Besides, I don't think you should be so deeply bothered. If there's anything you desperately need to say about Islam and you want to avoid saying yes to the creed, create a thread. Haven't you done just that here?

You should blame those christians who lack respect for others' faiths and throw insults relentlessly at Islam/Muslims as if their lives depend on it.

As for the front page issue; just like regular topics on NL, not all Islamic topics find its way to FP. So I don't see any cause for worry here.

mmsen:


You guys sound like the girl who walks around with a skirt that exposes her groin, buttocks and mammaries but wonders why people are looking at her.

Your inability to see reason is astounding - if you do not want the attention keep your topics away from the front page. Most people won't bother you if you do that - those that do should be banned, permanently.

9jaforlife:


You sound like colanut- which gets eaten up because of other people's affairs.

Do you read every single thread on FP? Is it impossible for you to skip Islamic topics on FP- which happens to constitute a veeery low fraction by occurrence on FP?

The fact that you're so pained that you can't comment means you would be one person who would gladly desecrate that section if you were granted free entry!! It's very obvious by the fact that you compare Muslims to a girl who walks n*aked in your post. Another christian who NEVER sees anything good in others... The m.ods took that action solely because of people like YOU!!!

mmsen:


I'm not a Christian. You would know that if you were not blinded by silly prejudice.

I usually leave the Muslims alone, I figure there are enough people attacking them but this issue does not reflect well on them at all.

9jaforlife:


There's nothing prejudicial about this.

mmsen:


Another christian who NEVER sees anything good in others.

That statement is prejudicial.

I am not a Christian.

9jaforlife:


[size=14pt] Is this the point of your thread?? [/size]

You seem to fight other people's battle so well- far more than the concerned people care about!!

NB: Prejudice is believing something without basing it on reason. That I assumed you were a christian because 99% of attacks on NL Muslims come from christians is GOOD reason.

mmsen:


[s] The point of the thread to discuss a lack of equity and fairness, principles that matter to all human beings but seem to evade you. [/s]

It's Sunday you clown.

Thank you for your mature, reasoned responses.

mmsen:
Then why do their threads wind up on the front page - thus advertising their discussions to the world?

If they seek open discussion then they should move their threads to a place where it can be openly discussed.

OmoPastor:

I have been banned three times consecutively for asking the so called moderators why Islam should be protected while Christianity left open to all. Just came back from ban today and will continue from where I stopped.
OP hope you have not been banned cuz that's the only reasonable response you can get from Seun and his moderators.
Am prepared for another ban but I will never stop asking for equal treatment for all on this forum.

ProPastorChris:

This is serious!!!
I was about starting a thread demanding reasons why Muslims can easily comment on Christan topics while you have to answer some ridiculous questions before you can comment in the Islam section
