alfarouq:


Seeing as you systematically try to turn a topic of similarity between major tribes in Nigeria to an Islam and Muslim bashing thread，t is either you are at best an ignorant person or at worst an Islam hater who ignorantly thinks he can increase his appeal with whichever God you believe in by throwing around false claims about Islam.

Nothing is celebrated and encouraged in Islam as much as scholarship. In fact， the first verse that was revealed to the prophet PBUH is read， Also there is a special regard for scholsrship and scholars in Islam than amy other group of people.

The only reason muslims of today seems backward in terms of advancement is becaise they are straying away from the path Islam laid which is the path of scholarship and decided to follow their whims and the ways of the people of the world. This is largely because they have embraced so much comfort because of excessive wealth from oil or are engaged in infighthing there by having little time for self development.


Islam and Muslims gave the world Algebra， the foundation of Science， gave Algorithm （ computation） gave how epidemics are managed and how diseases are managed （check cannon of medicine. Developed surgical procedures that was used and adopted by the world for more than 500 years.

Here in Nigeria， before some peoples parents learn to read， Muslims have been reading and writing，have structured system of governments that span as far as Sudan, developed indigenous building and military, clothing industries technologies all thanks to Islam.

The contributions of Islam and Muslims to science and technology is not exhaustible here ， you can research and read more on it if you truly care to know.


When people like Galileo Galilee and Leanardo Da vinci are been persecuted by the Church for heresy， Ibn Haytham， Ibn Khaldun and Ibn Senna were celebrated in the Muslim world.

Islam gave the world algebra You mean the same Islam that Mohammed brought in the 7th century ? You must be joking. You go and do your own research yourself and don’t swallow everything you’re told in the mosque

Algebra was used as early as the 1st millennium BC. by the Babylonians. That’s about 1000 years BC. (About 1600 years before Mohammed was born) .

I asked a simple question: what has islam done for Nigeria .

You can speak and type English now because of western education . But Boko Haram means Western Education is Forbidden. Go and tell them they are wrong .

You’re talking about the true path. Go and tell ISIS they are not on the true path , go and tell Al Qaeda they’re not on the true path . You cannot win that argument with them.
If anything, you’re the one who will not be considered a true Muslim. They will prove it to you and they will convert you.

You’re not a true Salafi. These ideological groups practice salafism , the pure form of Islam and they are seeking to return muslims to the true path. They are funded by Salafi organizations in Saudi Arabia and all over Sunni world . Don’t even let me get started on the status of women .

Believe what you want or what makes you happy. But the truth remains steadfast.
