This post is not senseless. Op good job. We need to know that Christians who are name bearers only are mostly cowards. Why couldn't the pastors there politely tell him what to do? Buhwri's statement is pathetic because the woman didn't blaspheme anyone. If she did, she should be tried by Nigerian laws not Sharia law. Muslims take the law so much into their hands in this country and people keep calling it a small issue. Sorry o

Not at all.
The Christian Faith requires that he removes his cap during prayers.
He must respect other peoples faith.

The Christian faith does not require that anyone removes their cap during prayers, that is a lie against Christianity.

Go back to school if you cant understand the message i am trying to pass here.

Ur are not passing any message instead ur are showing the hate in you. And I believe you have nothing to do else you would not go about looking pictures to pitch people against the president

LordofNairaland:


I wrote: "She might have been sentenced to death, if found guilty "

Endeavour to read my posts well in future. Moreover, I only used the sharia court trial as a balance to weigh Buhari "crime of breaking a Christian dress code" and the woman's "accused crime of desecrating the Qur'an".

The question you should ask yourself is: "Why didn't they accuse her of anything else but blasphemy?" Why blasphemy?

I am not justifying the murder. The reason why I am on this thread is because:

The OP twisted Buhari's statement to agree with what he (the OP) erroneously perceives Islam to be. He thinks Islam is evil and intolerable and thinks that Christians are tolerable. He thinks that if Christians were violent, they would have given Buhari the same treatment they gave the pastor's wife.

So I tried to explain to him that the woman was accused of desecrating the Qur'an and not for breaking dress codes at a religious gathering. There are different punishments for different crimes. Breaking dress codes isn't as heavy as desecrating the Quran. The fanatics who killed the woman could have accused her of passing in front of their religious gathering wearing a mini skirt but they didn't. They could have heaped different lies on her but they didn't. Instead they picked their usual lie (blasphemy) to get justification.

I am not defending anyone. I am not a religious person. But I will not like that the president's admonition be polarized along religious lines. Anyone could have made that statement. We all need to understand each other. That was what the president said and people like the OP read it in isolation and twisted it.

Defending president's statement shows that you are still in agreement with him for blaming the victim.. It was insensitive to suggest that had he woman respected her aggressor's religion, her life would have been spared.
The mistake contained in that statement is that we place religion over human life. He also suggests that death is the ultimate price to pay if you are accused of " disrespecting" their religion.
Since BH is holding Naija hostage and millions of Muslims are sympathetic to their fight, GMB missed a golden opportunity to take action that would deter potential BH recruits/sympathizers

How do you know he was justifying the murder? After condemning the murder, he admonished everyone to understand one another's religions to live peacefully. That is a piece of common good advice in a "religious" state like Nigeria. I don't understand how that is justifying the barbaric act.

There is a piece of advice my dad usually gives me anytime I am visiting Nigeria. He would tell me, even though he knows how quiet I am, never to argue religion with a Muslim.

It's insensitive for GMB to infer that she was the the villain because some thugs alleged that she was blaspheming their religion.. Is there anything like that in Naija law?? Nope!! Why did he pander to those religious fanatics?? Life is sacred and irreplaceable and must come first before religion! The message still embodies some justification for their action .If she didn't blasphem their religion, she would have been alive. No Nigerian has the right to take another person's life irrespective of religion, tribe or political affiliation. This woman's right to life was violated and GMB was talking about religion? What isn't blasphemy to your religion does exist in my religion, does that mean that I should kill you??

I guess it would have been better propaganda picture if you knw how to photoshop , edit and crop

Dont be a big f0000l, He is been tried by his words, not that of others. Secondly, is dishonorable wearing cap in a church, if you want the truth ask your Christian friends.

ASL33:
We know it's not hard and we tolerated it because he might not be aware of such practise like taking hat off when in church or prayer house. Would you say the Muslim will do same?

first of all,i dont go to church....abomination!!!..

they were outside...not even in a church.....

once i had to follow my thai-girl-friend to a buddhist whatever...i didnt pull of my shoes,and i didnt kneel down like the others....


sooooo.......whatever...................

muri4mig:
Are u now saying that when a muslim is praying, as a Christian u must look for a cap to put on? You hatred knows no bound. You still called him a fanatic in ur comment above. I dont know why christian always find it hard to mind their business but will always jump at opportunity to call somebody a fanatics if u do not subscribe to their belief. To me muslim are more tolerating than Christians.

Can u hear yourself? Can a Christian wear shoes inside a mosque? As a Christian, I know there are some churches I dare not wear shoes in and if I must worship in those assemblies, I need to remove my shoes the same way I'll do in a mosque.
In this particular gathering PMB chose to worship for political reason, cap-wearing is forbidden except you are a traditional ruler.

hakeem4:
where in the bible was it written ?

How come pope's wear their cap ?

Read the bible you will get it right after all the Qur'an advices you to read the bible if you are in doubt. That all has been revealed to the people of the book.

ZUBY77:




I dont think any of you understood the point i am making with this post.

An innocent woman was beheaded in Kano because the fanatics said she disrespected Muhammed.
Then Buhari said we must respect other peoples religion to live in peace.

Now my point is, why didn't he respect the Christian Religion by removing his cap during prayers?

Who told they don't understand? It is called hypocrisy

You are a waste of time. Religion presented the perfect excuse for her murder and Buhari addressed it. What were you expecting him to say

What is bad in what he said Please, what should he have said. He called for religious tolerance and you all went sleepless nights over it.

It is not like you love the victim. You just hate the president. When I saw the statement, I immediately understood that it was yet another call for religious tolerance but haters immediately saw a blooper and began to scream their brains out.

Your last paragraph just goes to show that I have been wasting my time since morning. There are fanatics. The accusation was that she blasphemed. Now someone has admonished both Christians and Muslims about tolerance and respect for each other's religions. We don't really know if she truly blasphemed. But we all know they had no rights to have killed her. Now, if you steal in Lagos, there is a high probability that you would be lynched. No one supports the lynching. As a matter of fact, lynching is criminal. But would you accept that you were justifying lynching if you warned a friend about stealing in Lagos?

Me: Don't steal, Kareem, or they will kill you.

You: Who will kill me?

Me: People.

You: What rights would they have to kill me, supposing I steal something in future?

Me: Well, I am just advising you to be careful. That is all I can do.

You: Wow, you sound like you are in support of the lynchings.

Me: How?

You: Instead of condemning the act of lynching, you are asking me to be careful. Your logic is that if victims of lynching had been careful, they wouldn't have been lynched. Why should there be a lynching in the first place You know you are justifying those murderers who lynch people.

Me: I am not justifying lynchings. All I am saying is that as long as you understand that if you steal around here, you would be lynched even before the police arrive, you will be careful.

You: Please, you are annoying me with this careful bullshit. You are justifying lynching. So now, I have to be careful so I don't get lynched?

Me: I give up!!

Where is it written that you behead a woman if she says what you dont like about your religion?

God question!!
And yet most of you guys are ever so quick to blame it on Islam. The next logical question is (if not because of hypocrisy and hatred), why blame the act on Islam instead of those that have written their own laws and also chose themselves as judges?

allthingsgood:


And u will look for the flimsiest excuse to crucify him based on your personal bias. I wear cap to church often and no, thunder doesnt strike me!

Your must must be a club church not a Christian church.

1 Corinthians 11: 3-4  But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God. Every man praying or prophesying, having his head covered, dishonoureth his head.

Please tell me if the killing of this woman was not connected to Islam.

People like will always come and muddle every up. Call a spade a spade...put blame where it belongs and make a difference..
Christian teaches you to turn the other cheek when assaulted, Christianity teaches you to forgive you aggressor and respect authority and most important of Christianity teaches you to love you Neigbour as yourself...
Look elsewhere for the religion that causes problems...
I know you are a good Muslim

You must high on dried poo to think am a muslim. So one must be a muslim to say his mind. I am a proud Yoruba man and religion is no issue to us unlike you bigot. Rubbish

Were in the bible did u c remove your cap b4 prayer or when you want to pray

Thank you. I hate buhari but this is stupid op.

I go to church with hats all the time, I don't remember EVER getting thrown out because of it.

There's no where in the bible, it says you can't wear a hat.

This is just taking critism to a childish level.

LMFashions:


Dat is still no excuse. The fact still remain dat he didn't respect another's faith by having his cap on in a Christian's place of prayer. Same applies to others there. I'm not surprised, of course u'll always see ways to defend him even when he's caught pants down doing what's not right.

I blame the president for evening coming. If he had stayed away, maybe this blackmail would not be an issue. There many who remove their caps that worst than Buhari. Salvation is keep not the hat or cap.

our beloved president is a shameless baldman. he should cover his head n shame

ZUBY77:
I don't play hatred game but I like to point out mistakes when men seems to be blinded by whatever they believe in.
The confusion that came with Religion is why we are where we are today.

Buhari said "We must learn to respect other people's Religion so we can live in peace"
If the Christian believers are as violent as his Muslim fanatics, someone would have yanked that cap off with his head.

By making that statement, Buhari simply told the Muslims and Christians to kill anyone who doesn't respect their Religion.


....And for the record, I don't care about the two Religions or any other Religion for that matter. So this is not me against you.

The simple answer to your observations is that those with caps on are fanatics, while does without caps are not , like Fashola he is a Moslem but his cap is off. But you should that Buhari doesn't care about Christianity.

ZUBY77:


Is he a Pope or Bishop?

And by that logic, is he also a Christian?

Nusaf:
For the president to be in that prayer session without excusing himself out is commendable, because being there can be likened to the the Christians joining the Muslims in the mosque although without fully conforming to the rules.

Exactly, what he did was very commendable; he was reaching out to Christians (but apparently still not good enough for some including the OP) because ordinarily most Muslims would be frown upon for joining in such prayers.
