If I had my way, there would be no Islam section. It was created just to protect Nairaland members. I want different faiths to interact.

alakara:


So create Christian section to protect Christian too which is guaranteed under the Constitution Section 38 subsections 1-4

kevoh:

read and understand seun's comment very well. Nairaland members including christians are already well protected through the isolation of Islam section. You probably are unaware that some violent threats were dished out by the regular violence mongers of the mohamedan faith back in the days when their faith was critiqued.

You are so wrong with this analogy....

Due to the religious diversity of the Nairaland community, it's impossible to come up with policies that will make everyone happy. Point 1: We can't give everyone what they want, even if we try, because some people want the opposite of what some other people want. Point 2: We do not seek to favour or help or disfavour or harm any religion; our priority is the Nairaland community as a whole - what's best for Nairalanders as a group. If you have complaints about our policies, or questions about why we're doing this or that, please send your complaints to the supermods via the home page. We'll respond to your complaints as quickly as we can and update this thread with the answers to your frequently asked questions.

how can Seun offer protection to Christians on an online forum? Why doesnt facebook or other social media create separate facebook pages specifically for muslims? If Seun feels there is a genuine threat to Christians here on nairaland then the easiest solution would have been to totally delete the islam section and ban all manner of islamic comments rather than doing so he rather supported and encouraged their action by providing them a legal platform to further perpetrate such vices.

damogul:

Now no Chrstian is Privy to their posts or plots as the only way to have access is by first accepting to be a muslim and then by ensuring their mods are 100% muslim as well is dangerous if he genuinely felt they posed a threat because a true muslim would always support anything islamic even if it means death as long as the quran says so.

The objective was to protect your security and lives, not your feelings. For more information:

damogul:



If as you say, the objective was to protect our security and lives and not our feelings why then is it so hard to give us a simple exclusive section especially since you have declared via ur statement above that Christians are peaceful? Or is it because of our tolerant nature you probably feel any and evryone is free to take a jab at us be they occultist, traditionalist, freethinkers or atheists?

Regarding the issue of not doing it based on protecting our feelings is wrong on so many levels. I say this because 99% of threats and violent outbursts are based on emotional triggers caused (in this context) by religious confrontations. Its not enough to attempt to deal with the issue on the surface by offering physical protection as you put it but it is better to deal with it from the root and cut off the emotional connection and free criss crossing of faiths and let whoever seeks Christian or Islamic indoctrination do so based on their personal choices which is where you ought to have included a disclaimer in the islamic section and in the Christian section (when you create one) that "whoever chooses to enter any section be it Christian or Islam does so based on their choice and offering a yes or no option to proceed or not.


Like you rightly observed, Christians are peacful and when you continuously take away fairness from the top and as a norm choke those who need it the end result is lack of faith and belief in the system or even in their own system.

What is worth doing is worth doing well....DO THIS WELL.

Seun:
Islam is the only religion getting a special treatment. Christians are free to criticize all other religions including Atheists, Budhists, Occultists, Traditionalists, etc. It is myopic to imply that this policy is anti-Christian as if all other religions have been granted their own sections. Some Muslims don't even like having their own section because their section is dry compared to this one.

A problem I've observed is that some atheists are very rude and prone to derailing threads, effectively turning every thread into a debate about the existence of God. That's not right and in a few days mynd44 will extend his war against trills to this section so we can have peace.
