Here's the most logical explanation you'll get: Muslims are a much more united group within which there is little or no difference in how they relate to God- so they get the private bedroom as it were. On the other hand, you guys get this open anything-goes section- the public swimming pool as it is, where catholics or the pentecoastal believer can throw a punch aimlessly knowing whoever it hits is an enemy or a potential enemy. You know- friendly fire in this section is the order of the |

You're just rambling, probably because you've spent too much time "tighing" your nieces and other little girls around you The question is, is Islam not a religion like all other religions? Why does it have to get preferential treatment above other religions? Is Islam superior to other religions THIS IS SO SO RIDICULOUS!!! |

gen2genius:Smart guy, you didn't dispute the unity in Islam! Yes, I'm busy tighing. . . whatever, but while I'm at it, I want to ask- are you the man or the woman in that your homosexual relationship that is about to be sanctioned by your church? You can call me the 'tigher' and I'll call you the 'sodomite'. How's that? Anyway, my 1st post was the explanation, here's the advice: keep a stiff upperlip! It helps with jealousy. |
Re: Why Is There A Special Forum For Muslims? by GEW: 5:45pm On Jul 07, 2009 |
MUZBO:what unity? with all the various sects you have and the fighting over mosques you guys have what unity are you talking about? how many sect do yu have in indonessia, pakistan, bangladesh and the various countries you people are littered? i lived in east london fo yrs in the 90s i always saw one sect locking out the other sect. what are u talking about? unity for a violent sect like you. |

@Original Poster, Please stop making continuous threads about the 'Islam Section on Nairaland'. One thread is enough. The others are just boring. |
Re: Why Is There A Special Forum For Muslims? by Nobody: 3:10am On Jul 08, 2009 |
Ok, just for the records, there is nothing like 'thighing' in Islam. It's just a lie. |
Re: Why Is There A Special Forum For Muslims? by Gabry(f): 3:37am On Jul 08, 2009 |
Poster, base on my own understanding. The reason why the Muslim's has their own section its because theres only one type of Muslim religion whereas for Buddhist, Christian, Hindu's. . . . There are a variety like Christian for instance, there the Jehovah's witness, ANglican, Protestant, Catholic, Pentacostal and etc etc. . . For Buddhist there like Heavenly Tao, Taoism, Guan Yin, Kuan Ni Mu and etc etc, Hindu theres like Hindu, Sikh, Tamil and etc etc etc and so onnnn , . . But for Muslim, its just Muslim and not other Muslim. But also I think it depends on the market. If there happened to be alot of posters contributing towards a particular subject, The Mgt might want to put it under one section. Just my own personal opinion really. |
Re: Why Is There A Special Forum For Muslims? by Gabry(f): 3:47am On Jul 08, 2009 |
Ok I have checked the religion section and I notice theres not many Christian or other religion's thread but there is alot of Muslim's thread so poster, yeah, this is based on a popular demand basis. Because honestly lets say for sports, if there not enough people to post a thread regarding Ice Hockey, I dont see any reasons on why should I open a section for Ice Hockey. |
Re: Why Is There A Special Forum For Muslims? by savanaha: 4:37am On Jul 08, 2009 |
Gabry: I think there are two main types of Muslim, the Sunnis and the Shiites or maybe am wrong. Anyway I think the seperate Muslim thread is because the Muslim's threatened Seun's life at some point. Something like that I have heard. |
Re: Why Is There A Special Forum For Muslims? by Gabry(f): 6:03am On Jul 08, 2009 |

Re: Why Is There A Special Forum For Muslims? by xoxoxo(f): 6:21am On Jul 08, 2009 |
savanaha:find this hard to believe. . . . buh anyway, one time a WI forum had a beach-nic and a dude came with a machete looking for a member. Could you believe that someone took the internet argument to heart and wanted to kill someone. dem craze |
Re: Why Is There A Special Forum For Muslims? by MUZBO(m): 6:56am On Jul 08, 2009 |
GEW:Maybe in the 90s you weren't smart enough to notice that what you call sect now was actually tribal- big difference baby,but its still 1 Quran 1 mosque. Anyway no matter how bad it gets it won't be as bad as your bunch of useless disunited wishy-washy evangelists. If you've got anything else, I refer you to Gabry above but don't just read. . .understand!- it shouldn't be as hard as the 90s! |
Re: Why Is There A Special Forum For Muslims? by MUZBO(m): 7:15am On Jul 08, 2009 |
savanaha:Thats just wishful thinking. . . ofcourse you are wrong! They are tribes and you missed the Kurds anyway! savanaha:I'm sure you also heard that Obama would visit Nigeria instead of Ghana. Keep hearing things and you could need PROZAC. |

Re: Why Is There A Special Forum For Muslims? by Tudor6(f): 7:42am On Jul 08, 2009 |
MUZBO:YOU ARE A BLOODY LIAR!! I guess in addition to the over 300 tribes we have in nigeria we also have sunni and shitte tribes, no? See how you disgrace yourself lying for allah. Sunni and shittes amongst others are different sects of islam just like catholics and protestants. They claim to worship the same allah but they all have peculiar doctrines. Like the Quadriya muslims abuzola was complaining about,they follow islam and allah but do it differently to the sunnis, shittes and others. STOP BEING DISHONEST, NO VIRGINS FOR LIARS IN JANAAT! |

Gabry:gabyl nawao. even for u in an islamic evironment. you can not be serious for a combactive and divisive people like moles. anyway take this Sunni Islam -- Wahhabism (Salafism) Shi'i Islam -- The Druze -- Alawis Khariji Islam Sufism Nation of Islam and Black Muslims
A Guide To Islamic Sects The Commercial Appeal/September 23, 20001 The world's second-largest faith, Islam is hardly monolithic. Schisms, focusing first on disagreements over who should lead the new faith and later on matters of doctrine, began developing soon after the prophet Muhammad's death in the year 632. Here are some of the major sects within Islam, which has 1.3 billion followers: Sunni: Accounting for at least 85 percent of the Islamic world, the Sunni claim to be the direct continuation of the faith as defined by Muhammad. For many years they acknowledged the religious authority of a ruling caliph, the major point of contention with the breakaway Shiite movement. The Sunni derive their name through reliance on the "Sunnah" or the observed sayings, lifestyle and practices of Muhammad as recorded in a collection of writings called the Hadith. The Sunni accept the "Sunnah" as a source of spiritual wisdom, while the Shiite insist on the primacy of the Koran. Shiite: The smaller of the two principal branches of Islam, the Shiite account for at least 10 percent of all Muslims. They originally were followers of the fourth caliph, Ali, who was Muhammad's son-in-law through the prophet's daughter Fatima. Ali claimed that Muhammad on his deathbed selected Ali as leader of the faith, but Ali was murdered during the fifth year of his reign. The Shiite formally broke away from Muslim leaders recognized by the Sunni around 680. A principal belief of the Shiite is that no caliph since Ali has been legitimate. The movement became popular among disaffected non-Arab Muslims who feared they were held in lower esteem within the faith. Kharijis: Accounting for less than 1 percent of all Muslims, the Kharijis were the first major schism within Islam. They broke away in 658 when they rejected the use of arbitrators empowered to decide major issues within the faith. Druze: A secretive Islamic breakaway group concentrated in Lebanon around Mt. Hermon and in the mountains near Beirut and Sidon. They refer to themselves as the Mowahhidoon. Most Muslims consider the sect blasphemous since it declared that God was manifested in human form as the Egyptian caliph al Hakim Bi-amr Allah 1,000 years ago. They number at least 250,000. The Druze do not accept new members, virtually never discuss their faith and often pose as members of the dominant religion where they live. Alawi: A small branch of Islam that broke away from the Shiite in the Ninth Century under the leadership of Ibn Nucair Namin Abdi. Almost exclusively found on the Syrian coast plains, the Alawi have 1.5 million members including Syrian President Hafez Assad. Ismali: A Shiite sect that believes the succession of spiritual leadership should have continued through the sons of Muhammad Ibn Isma'il. The Ismali believe that Islam has never been without a living Imam, even though clearly recognized spiritual authority became increasingly rare as Islam matured. Ahmadiyyah: Founded in Qadian, India, by Mirza Ghulam Ahmad, who died in 1908. Ahmadis believe their founder was a renovator of Islam, a position most of the world's Muslims consider to be heretical. The group has many enthusiastic missionaries. Sufi: These are the mystics within the Muslim faith, a religious order that follows mystical interpretations of Islamic doctrines and practices. Wahhabi Movement: Muhammad ibn Abd al-Wahhab began a campaign of spiritual renewal in the smaller city states of Arabia in the mid- 1700s. His extremely traditional group opposed all innovations within Islam, often using violence to enforce its views. The group threatened to become the first nation state in Arabia, prompting a crackdown by the Egyptian army in 1818. Today, Wahhabism is quite strong in Saudi Arabia. It demands punishment for those who enjoy any form of music except the drum and severe punishment up to death for drinking or sexual transgressions. It condemns as unbelievers those who do not pray, a view that never previously existed in mainstream Islam. Wahhabism has been an inspiration to Osama bin Laden. http://www.rickross.com/reference/islamic/islamic27.html |

MUZBO: Why don't you reply the same then seven more times. If you are a muslim, shame on you for being so dumb by calling Shiites other factions of Islam tribes. Unless Muslim is now an ethnic group. And about the pieces loving Muslims threatening Seun's life. It is widely known by others on this forum. Especially those that have been here longer than I have. |

Tudór:What is this dim-witted nut job saying? The sunnis and shia have differing views about Islam but these views which are fundamental now were based primarily on cultural grounds which the west intentionally blew out of proportion so that it seems there is division amongst muslims. So far they have failed because basics of Islam like the Quran remain ONE unlike King James' bible and the Pope's version. . . whatever! The west succeeded in sowing the seed for Sectarianism amongst muslims during colonisation and de-colonisation. They will fund a smaller almost none existent 'sect' to rebel against authority for their personal gain- notably oil in the middle east. Allah Himself has warned muslims of this threat to the unity of their religion and they've always been wary, thats why shia muslims reject the Hadith and for good reason- western influence and politics. THE QURAN REMAINS PURE AND IT WILL BE FOREVER. I still maintain the split is based primarily on cultural lines just like people want to find differences between Hausa muslims and Yoruba muslims- it's all in a bid to divide us. Y'all will fail. Most muslims just want to practice Islam on neutral but the west wants to categorize based on sects, they've not had too much success. |

MUZBO:See how SHAMELESS and STUPID you are? Here you admitted the sunnis and shitte are different what else? You forget that other sects like the ahmadiyahs, quadriyahs and others exist. While the sunnis follow the prophet, the shittes place more emphasis on the koran. . . To demonstrate your mad ignorance you labelled the schism cultural- how pathetic! You even failed to show the culture derived differences between the sects. Like a wimpy- shameless muslim you blame the west for everything. Haba! Is it the west that told the sunnis to follow the prophets? Or did they push the shittes to follow the koran? When will you slaves of allah stop blaming the west for everything bad in their lives?! You get a common cold and y'all scream conspiracy from america. When will you grow up! |
