Onyatinu: If boko haram are not muslims why do muslims keep supporting and arguing about Boko haram.
Thank u for this objective reasoning... Logical reasoning.
Your brain will never fail.
Islam, a religion of peace, isn't that an irony? Afterall a lot of Surah that instigate and propagate terrorism and act of terrorism!
Re: Boko Haram Wants All Christians To Convert To Islam by LogicMind: 3:40pm On Jun 18, 2012
OILOFGLADNESS: though booharam is not fighting for muslims , its true that their mission is politically inclined BUT, muslim is a religion that believe in violence, i served in sokoto so i realy learnt more about this religion. i know that most muslims may not believe this cos they lack the knowledge, they are muslim cos they were born into it, nutured and grew in it

the boko harams are muslim and they have seen opportunity co they believe that their crown in heaven depends on the number of christian that they slaughtered. that is why they concentrate mostly in churches.
THE YORUBA MUSLIMS ARE NOT SUPPORTING THEM BUT THE FCT REMAINS THAT, MUSLIMS BELIEVE IN VIOLENCE

All WE NEED IS PRAYER.

Yoruba muslims are worst of the worst.
scum of earh.
living example of degeneration of any given species.

Joey82: i think i have to go back to study the qur'an, though a christian, i wish to sincerely understand hw extremist muslims are easily deluded and brainswashed by its contents.
so much for the killing in the name of Allah!
so much for if u die fighting a jihad, u go straight to heaven no matter the kinda atrocities u commit while on earth, forgiveness can be this simple?
so much for seven virgins waiting for u at the gate of heaven, polygamy will be encouraged in heaven?
methinks islam is way too complex, am surprised they still say islam is peace.
its the biggest war we have on our hands here on earth.
father Abraham, what did u do?

Joe, islam is a religion of peace, all dis wars between christians and muslims are happening because some people l mean mighty people hav alot to gain dan you & l, if truly boko haram are for real, what is d govt waitin for? Nigeria is d process of witnessin wat happen in sudan, somali, lsreal & palestine, no religion support sucides, not even our traditional worshippers agreed to it. So d sayin of killing oneself and getting many vargins in heaven is rediculous and it sounds so stupid. Kill yoursef and go to hell fire is what many religion preaches including lslam. All dis tins are nothing but propagands. Why is it dat there peace in saudi arabia, united arab emirate, qatar and so on? Maybe you should google TIM OSAMA and found out who he truly was, or 9/11 mega sacrifice. OPEN YA EYEZ.

Re: Boko Haram Wants All Christians To Convert To Islam by Piyke: 3:54pm On Jun 18, 2012
Two things are responsible for these infidels boko haram still being in existence

1. A lack of will on the part of the president to crush everyone related to them in or out of government

2. A minister for defence and SSS who operate with mere brute force and lack the calibre of intelligence required to surmount modern urban warfare.

Imagine that this evil spokesman has been releasing statements yet his location can't be traced How do they manage to upload youtube videos yet their IP addresses are not traced I don't even think they use software's that re-route IP addresses for that matter angry

Muslims will forever continue to masacre christians every sunday in Nigeria, because for the past 30-40 years that's what they have done, albiet in the name of killing Igbos. Killing christians at will and random has been tolerated by the Nigerian state, so why is it a surprise the killing hasn't stopped?
Re: Boko Haram Wants All Christians To Convert To Islam by Tisa: 3:57pm On Jun 18, 2012
BH are all but cowards. Cowards that attack people while they were unprepared, they attack innocent and defenseless people and they call that fighting for a stupid course. They know christians aint cowards. If they want to fight y not declare an open war and let's see who will overcome who.

They don't even count non hausa-fulani muslims as muslims (this I know cos I ve been in the midst of two religious riots in Jos n Bauchi), the yoruba muslims amongst them are usually the first people they kill b4 attacking innocent people on the streets going about their business.

THEY ARE COWARDs and should cover their faces in shame.

Stupid people.

Emmy9ite: Please a good muslim should explain what the quaram says in chapter 9 vs. 29....#patiently waiting
Here is part of the verse
9:1 A (declaration) of immunity from Allah and His
Apostle, to those of the Pagans with whom ye
have contracted mutual alliances:-
Baraatun mina Allahiwarasoolihi ila allatheena
AAahadtum minaalmushrikeena
9:2 Go ye, then, for four months, backwards and
forwards, (as ye will), throughout the land, but
know ye that ye cannot frustrate Allah (by your
falsehood) but that Allah will cover with shame
those who reject Him.
Faseehoo fee al-ardi arbaAAataashhurin
waiAAlamoo annakum ghayru muAAjizee
Allahiwaanna Allaha mukhzee alkafireena
9:3 And an announcement from Allah and His
Apostle, to the people (assembled) on the day of
the Great Pilgrimage,- that Allah and His Apostle
dissolve (treaty) obligations with the Pagans. If
then, ye repent, it were best for you; but if ye
turn away, know ye that ye cannot frustrate
Allah. And proclaim a grievous penalty to those
who reject Faith.
Waathanun mina Allahiwarasoolihi ila alnnasi
yawma alhajjial-akbari anna Allaha baree-on mina
almushrikeenawarasooluhu fa-in tubtum fahuwa
khayrun lakum wa-in tawallaytumfaiAAlamoo
annakum ghayru muAAjizee Allahiwabashshiri
allatheena kafaroo biAAathabin aleemin
9:4 (But the treaties are) not dissolved with those
Pagans with whom ye have entered into alliance
and who have not subsequently failed you in
aught, nor aided any one against you. So fulfil
your engagements with them to the end of their
term: for Allah loveth the righteous.
Illa allatheena AAahadtummina almushrikeena
thumma lam yanqusookum shay-an walam
yuthahirooAAalaykum ahadan faatimmoo ilayhim
AAahdahum ilamuddatihim inna Allaha yuhibbu
almuttaqeena
9:5 But when the forbidden months are past, then
fight and slay the Pagans wherever ye find them,
an seize them, beleaguer them, and lie in wait for
them in every stratagem (of war); but if they
repent, and establish regular prayers and practise
regular charity, then open the way for them: for
Allah is Oft-forgiving, Most Merciful.
Fa-itha insalakha al-ashhuru alhurumufaoqtuloo

9:6 If one amongst the Pagans ask thee for asylum,
grant it to him, so that he may hear the word of
Allah; and then escort him to where he can be
secure. That is because they are men without
knowledge.
Wa-in ahadun mina almushrikeena
istajarakafaajirhu hatta yasmaAAa kalama
Allahithumma ablighhu ma/manahu thalika bi-
annahum qawmun layaAAlamoona
9:7 How can there be a league, before Allah and His
Apostle, with the Pagans, except those with
whom ye made a treaty near the sacred Mosque?
As long as these stand true to you, stand ye true
to them: for Allah doth love the righteous.
Kayfa yakoonu lilmushrikeena AAahdun
AAindaAllahi waAAinda rasoolihi illa allatheena
AAahadtumAAinda almasjidi alharami fama
istaqamoolakum faistaqeemoo lahum inna Allaha
yuhibbualmuttaqeena
9:8 How (can there be such a league), seeing that if
they get an advantage over you, they respect not
in you the ties either of kinship or of covenant?
With (fair words from) their mouths they entice
you, but their hearts are averse from you; and
most of them are rebellious and wicked.
Kayfa wa-in yathharoo AAalaykumla yarquboo
feekum illan wala thimmatan yurdoonakumbi-
afwahihim wata/ba quloobuhum waaktharuhum
fasiqoona
9:9 The Signs of Allah have they sold for a miserable
price, and (many) have they hindered from His
way: evil indeed are the deeds they have done.
Ishtaraw bi-ayati Allahithamanan qaleelan
fasaddoo AAan sabeelihi innahum saama kanoo
yaAAmaloona
9:10 In a Believer they respect not the ties either of
kinship or of covenant! It is they who have
transgressed all bounds.
La yarquboona fee mu/minin illan walathimmatan
waola-ika humu almuAAtadoona
9:11 But (even so), if they repent, establish regular
prayers, and practise regular charity,- they are
your brethren in Faith: (thus) do We explain the
Signs in detail, for those who understand.
Fa-in taboo waaqamoo alssalatawaatawoo
alzzakata fa-ikhwanukum feealddeeni wanufassilu
al-ayatiliqawmin yaAAlamoona
9:12 But if they violate their oaths after their covenant,
and taunt you for your Faith,- fight ye the chiefs
of Unfaith: for their oaths are nothing to them:
that thus they may be restrained.
Wa-in nakathoo aymanahum min
baAAdiAAahdihim wataAAanoo fee deenikum
faqatilooa-immata alkufri innahum la aymana
lahumlaAAallahum yantahoona
9:13 Will ye not fight people who violated their oaths,
plotted to expel the Apostle, and took the
aggressive by being the first (to assault) you? Do
ye fear them? Nay, it is Allah Whom ye should
more justly fear, if ye believe!
Ala tuqatiloona qawmannakathoo aymanahum
wahammoo bi-ikhraji alrrasooliwahum badaookum
awwala marratin atakhshawnahum
faAllahuahaqqu an takhshawhu in kuntum mu/

9:14 Fight them, and Allah will punish them by your
hands, cover them with shame, help you (to
victory) over them, heal the breasts of Believers,
Qatiloohum yuAAaththibhumu Allahubi-aydeekum
wayukhzihim wayansurkum AAalayhim wayashfi
sudooraqawmin mu/mineena
9:15 And still the indignation of their hearts. For Allah
will turn (in mercy) to whom He will; and Allah is
All-Knowing, All-Wise.
Wayuthhib ghaythaquloobihim wayatoobu Allahu
AAala man yashaowaAllahu AAaleemun
hakeemun
9:16 Or think ye that ye shall be abandoned, as
though Allah did not know those among you who
strive with might and main, and take none for
friends and protectors except Allah, His Apostle,
and the (community of) Believers? But Allah is
well-acquainted with (all) that ye do.

Allahu allatheena jahadoo minkumwalam

9:17 It is not for such as join gods with Allah, to visit or
maintain the mosques of Allah while they witness
against their own souls to infidelity. The works of
such bear no fruit: In Fire shall they dwell.
Ma kana lilmushrikeena anyaAAmuroo masajida
Allahi shahideena AAalaanfusihim bialkufri ola-ika

9:18 The mosques of Allah shall be visited and
maintained by such as believe in Allah and the
Last Day, establish regular prayers, and practise
regular charity, and fear none (at all) except
Allah. It is they who are expected to be on true
guidance.
Innama yaAAmuru masajida Allahiman amana
biAllahi waalyawmi al-akhiriwaaqama alssalata
waataalzzakata walam yakhsha illa AllahafaAAasa
ola-ika an yakoonoo mina almuhtadeena
9:19 Do ye make the giving of drink to pilgrims, or the
maintenance of the Sacred Mosque, equal to (the
pious service of) those who believe in Allah and
the Last Day, and strive with might and main in
the cause of Allah? They are not comparable in
the sight of Allah: and Allah guides not those who
do wrong.
AjaAAaltum siqayata alhajjiwaAAimarata almasjidi

9:20 Those who believe, and suffer exile and strive with
might and main, in Allah's cause, with their goods
and their persons, have the highest rank in the
sight of Allah: they are the people who will
achieve (salvation).
Allatheena amanoo wahajaroowajahadoo fee

9:21 Their Lord doth give them glad tidings of a Mercy
from Himself, of His good pleasure, and of
gardens for them, wherein are delights that
endure:
Yubashshiruhum rabbuhum birahmatinminhu
waridwanin wajannatin lahum feehanaAAeemun
muqeemun
9:22 They will dwell therein for ever. Verily in Allah's
presence is a reward, the greatest (of all).
Khalideena feeha abadan innaAllaha AAindahu
ajrun AAatheemun
9:23 O ye who believe! take not for protectors your
fathers and your brothers if they love infidelity
above Faith: if any of you do so, they do wrong.
Ya ayyuha allatheena amanoola tattakhithoo
abaakum wa-ikhwanakumawliyaa ini istahabboo
alkufra AAala al-eemaniwaman yatawallahum

9:24 Say: If it be that your fathers, your sons, your
brothers, your mates, or your kindred; the wealth
that ye have gained; the commerce in which ye
fear a decline: or the dwellings in which ye delight
- are dearer to you than Allah, or His Apostle, or
the striving in His cause;- then wait until Allah
brings about His decision: and Allah guides not
the rebellious.

9:25 Assuredly Allah did help you in many battle-fields
and on the day of Hunain: Behold! your great
numbers elated you, but they availed you
naught: the land, for all that it is wide, did
constrain you, and ye turned back in retreat.

9:26 But Allah did pour His calm on the Apostle and on
the Believers, and sent down forces which ye saw
not: He punished the Unbelievers; thus doth He
reward those without Faith.
Thumma anzala Allahu sakeenatahu AAalarasoolihi
waAAala almu/mineena waanzala junoodan

9:27 Again will Allah, after this, turn (in mercy) to
whom He will: for Allah is Oft-forgiving, Most
Merciful.
Thumma yatoobu Allahu min baAAdi thalikaAAala

9:28 O ye who believe! Truly the Pagans are unclean;
so let them not, after this year of theirs, approach
the Sacred Mosque. And if ye fear poverty, soon
will Allah enrich you, if He wills, out of His bounty,
for Allah is All-knowing, All-wise.

9:29 Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the Last
Day, nor hold that forbidden which hath been
forbidden by Allah and His Apostle, nor
acknowledge the religion of Truth, (even if they
are) of the People of the Book, until they pay the
Jizya with willing submission, and feel themselves
subdued.

9:30 The Jews call 'Uzair a son of Allah, and the
Christians call Christ the son of Allah. That is a
saying from their mouth; (in this) they but imitate
what the unbelievers of old used to say. Allah's
curse be on them: how they are deluded away
from the Truth!

9:31 They take their priests and their anchorites to be
their lords in derogation of Allah, and (they take
as their Lord) Christ the son of Mary; yet they
were commanded to worship but One Allah: there
is no god but He. Praise and glory to Him: (Far is
He) from having the partners they associate (with
Him).

religion, even though the Pagans may detest (it).

9:34 O ye who believe! there are indeed many among
the priests and anchorites, who in Falsehood
devour the substance of men and hinder (them)
from the way of Allah. And there are those who
bury gold and silver and spend it not in the way
of Allah: announce unto them a most grievous
penalty-

9:35 On the Day when heat will be produced out of
that (wealth) in the fire of Hell, and with it will be
branded their foreheads, their flanks, and their
backs, their flanks, and their backs.- "This is the

twelve (in a year)- so ordained by Him the day He
created the heavens and the earth; of them four
are sacred: that is the straight usage. So wrong
not yourselves therein, and fight the Pagans all
together as they fight you all together. But know
that Allah is with those who restrain

F.u.cked up country, d.umb people. Instead of organizing a revolution to take out the terrible Government (comprising of both Christian and Muslims anyway) you are busy arguing about the peaceful and violent religions, are there no violent verses in the bible? Keep wasting your bandwith e-fighting, while your muslim and christian poliLOOTERS keep stealing your common wealth. With all the holy, holy....blood of Jesus, In Jesus name, Allahu Akbar, Subhanalahi e.t.c majority of you are perpetrating corruption as i'm writing. Nigeria should simply change name to HYPOCRISY!
Re: Boko Haram Wants All Christians To Convert To Islam by JimmyBoy1: 4:02pm On Jun 18, 2012
I appreicate the opinion that reprisal attackes by Christian will legitimize the ongoing barbaric attacks by some bunch of lunatics . However, if Christians have exercised restraint all along and the Nigerian state has failed to protect them, then what expect them to continue?
Re: Boko Haram Wants All Christians To Convert To Islam by farouqzaib: 4:04pm On Jun 18, 2012
edicolove:

While I wouldn't want to join in the insults and war of words, I do have a simple question for you:

Are the terrorism and destruction that are going on in Afghan, Iraq, Sudan, Palestine, India by muslim groups also caused by Nigerian politicians? Because I see a clear pattern here. These killings and destructions have been on since the sixties. BH only increased the frequency and sophistication. So you have to do more to convince us here that it is not a fundamental characteristic of Islam as a religion.

I read the Qur'an and I know how it is trying to deduce it's meaning. The Qur'an is for the intelligent, no pun nor insults intended. It's this same grey areas that
ppl use to further their cause(s). I mean, you watched that Iron Man movie where Don Cheadle was asked to read a line from his report and the presiding judge wanted to put the wieght of his case just on that line alone. There is something called context and you miss that when you try to deduce the meaning of a line of the Qur'an(even ur school books sef, or your work stuffs) without knowing what goes before or after it. C'mon, you won't be a fair judge if you passed out judgement on someone without hearing his side of the story(and investigating properly).

There is even a verse of the Qur'an if taken outta context seems to curse those who pray, meanwhile what it actually means in context is that there is a curse on those who pray mindlessly.

You prolly heard all that before. There is even a verse which says when u kill an inncocent person, it's like u've killed er'one. U prolly heard that before too.

IMHO, I think the problem is the Northerners/Arabs. I believe they are easily compelled to fight, I know it sounds "puuf" but c'mon you think the Egyptians would have ousted Mubarak if they were Nigerians or the Tunisians will have removed Bin Ali if they were Nigerians? We all know how the subsidy ish went.

Then I also think there is widespread illiteracy and poverty, so much so that anyone will do anything for money or for a better tomorrow.

The cabals er'where, U.S included just exploit these to foment trouble. In the end, it's about money and power which you can only get from oil. Why is that it is only oil rich nations that have a "terror" problem, granted they have crazy leaders too.

Fact that one bears a Muslim name or is born into a Muslim home doesn't make one a Muslim(except you want to go into technicalities).

The wars you mentioned above are just being fought by people who want their land back. At least not in a dirty way like Isreal.

We can go all year and argue about what is right or wrong. What we need are solutions. Anybody can analyse.

Apostle, to the people (assembled) on the day of
the Great Pilgrimage,- that Allah and His Apostle
dissolve (treaty) obligations with the Pagans. If
then, ye repent, it were best for you; but if ye
turn away, know ye that ye cannot frustrate
Allah. And proclaim a grievous penalty to those
who reject Faith.
Waathanun mina Allahiwarasoolihi ila alnnasi
yawma alhajjial-akbari anna Allaha baree-on mina

allatheena kafaroo biAAathabin aleemin
9:4 (But the treaties are) not dissolved with those
Pagans with whom ye have entered into alliance
and who have not subsequently failed you in
aught, nor aided any one against you. So fulfil
your engagements with them to the end of their
term: for Allah loveth the righteous.
Illa allatheena AAahadtummina almushrikeena
thumma lam yanqusookum shay-an walam
yuthahirooAAalaykum ahadan faatimmoo ilayhim
AAahdahum ilamuddatihim inna Allaha yuhibbu
almuttaqeena
9:5 But when the forbidden months are past, then
fight and slay the Pagans wherever ye find them,
an seize them, beleaguer them, and lie in wait for
them in every stratagem (of war); but if they
repent, and establish regular prayers and practise
regular charity, then open the way for them: for
Allah is Oft-forgiving, Most Merciful.

9:6 If one amongst the Pagans ask thee for asylum,
grant it to him, so that he may hear the word of
Allah; and then escort him to where he can be
secure. That is because they are men without
knowledge.
Wa-in ahadun mina almushrikeena
istajarakafaajirhu hatta yasmaAAa kalama
Allahithumma ablighhu ma/manahu thalika bi-
annahum qawmun layaAAlamoona
9:7 How can there be a league, before Allah and His
Apostle, with the Pagans, except those with
whom ye made a treaty near the sacred Mosque?
As long as these stand true to you, stand ye true
to them: for Allah doth love the righteous.

AAahadtumAAinda almasjidi alharami fama

9:8 How (can there be such a league), seeing that if
they get an advantage over you, they respect not
in you the ties either of kinship or of covenant?
With (fair words from) their mouths they entice
you, but their hearts are averse from you; and
most of them are rebellious and wicked.
Kayfa wa-in yathharoo AAalaykumla yarquboo

9:9 The Signs of Allah have they sold for a miserable
price, and (many) have they hindered from His
way: evil indeed are the deeds they have done.
Ishtaraw bi-ayati Allahithamanan qaleelan

9:10 In a Believer they respect not the ties either of
kinship or of covenant! It is they who have
transgressed all bounds.
La yarquboona fee mu/minin illan walathimmatan
waola-ika humu almuAAtadoona
9:11 But (even so), if they repent, establish regular
prayers, and practise regular charity,- they are
your brethren in Faith: (thus) do We explain the
Signs in detail, for those who understand.
Fa-in taboo waaqamoo alssalatawaatawoo
alzzakata fa-ikhwanukum feealddeeni wanufassilu
al-ayatiliqawmin yaAAlamoona
9:12 But if they violate their oaths after their covenant,
and taunt you for your Faith,- fight ye the chiefs
of Unfaith: for their oaths are nothing to them:
that thus they may be restrained.
Wa-in nakathoo aymanahum min
baAAdiAAahdihim wataAAanoo fee deenikum
faqatilooa-immata alkufri innahum la aymana
lahumlaAAallahum yantahoona
9:13 Will ye not fight people who violated their oaths,
plotted to expel the Apostle, and took the
aggressive by being the first (to assault) you? Do
ye fear them? Nay, it is Allah Whom ye should
more justly fear, if ye believe!
Ala tuqatiloona qawmannakathoo aymanahum
wahammoo bi-ikhraji alrrasooliwahum badaookum
awwala marratin atakhshawnahum

9:14 Fight them, and Allah will punish them by your
hands, cover them with shame, help you (to
victory) over them, heal the breasts of Believers,
Qatiloohum yuAAaththibhumu Allahubi-aydeekum
wayukhzihim wayansurkum AAalayhim wayashfi

9:15 And still the indignation of their hearts. For Allah
will turn (in mercy) to whom He will; and Allah is
All-Knowing, All-Wise.
Wayuthhib ghaythaquloobihim wayatoobu Allahu
AAala man yashaowaAllahu AAaleemun
hakeemun
9:16 Or think ye that ye shall be abandoned, as
though Allah did not know those among you who
strive with might and main, and take none for
friends and protectors except Allah, His Apostle,
and the (community of) Believers? But Allah is
well-acquainted with (all) that ye do.

9:17 It is not for such as join gods with Allah, to visit or
maintain the mosques of Allah while they witness
against their own souls to infidelity. The works of
such bear no fruit: In Fire shall they dwell.
Ma kana lilmushrikeena anyaAAmuroo masajida

9:18 The mosques of Allah shall be visited and
maintained by such as believe in Allah and the
Last Day, establish regular prayers, and practise
regular charity, and fear none (at all) except
Allah. It is they who are expected to be on true
guidance.

9:19 Do ye make the giving of drink to pilgrims, or the
maintenance of the Sacred Mosque, equal to (the
pious service of) those who believe in Allah and
the Last Day, and strive with might and main in
the cause of Allah? They are not comparable in
the sight of Allah: and Allah guides not those who
do wrong.

9:20 Those who believe, and suffer exile and strive with
might and main, in Allah's cause, with their goods
and their persons, have the highest rank in the
sight of Allah: they are the people who will
achieve (salvation).
Allatheena amanoo wahajaroowajahadoo fee

9:21 Their Lord doth give them glad tidings of a Mercy
from Himself, of His good pleasure, and of
gardens for them, wherein are delights that
endure:
Yubashshiruhum rabbuhum birahmatinminhu
waridwanin wajannatin lahum feehanaAAeemun
muqeemun
9:22 They will dwell therein for ever. Verily in Allah's
presence is a reward, the greatest (of all).
Khalideena feeha abadan innaAllaha AAindahu

9:23 O ye who believe! take not for protectors your
fathers and your brothers if they love infidelity
above Faith: if any of you do so, they do wrong.
Ya ayyuha allatheena amanoola tattakhithoo
abaakum wa-ikhwanakumawliyaa ini istahabboo

9:24 Say: If it be that your fathers, your sons, your
brothers, your mates, or your kindred; the wealth
that ye have gained; the commerce in which ye
fear a decline: or the dwellings in which ye delight
- are dearer to you than Allah, or His Apostle, or
the striving in His cause;- then wait until Allah
brings about His decision: and Allah guides not
the rebellious.

9:25 Assuredly Allah did help you in many battle-fields
and on the day of Hunain: Behold! your great
numbers elated you, but they availed you
naught: the land, for all that it is wide, did
constrain you, and ye turned back in retreat.

9:26 But Allah did pour His calm on the Apostle and on
the Believers, and sent down forces which ye saw
not: He punished the Unbelievers; thus doth He
reward those without Faith.
Thumma anzala Allahu sakeenatahu AAalarasoolihi

9:27 Again will Allah, after this, turn (in mercy) to
whom He will: for Allah is Oft-forgiving, Most
Merciful.
Thumma yatoobu Allahu min baAAdi thalikaAAala

9:28 O ye who believe! Truly the Pagans are unclean;
so let them not, after this year of theirs, approach
the Sacred Mosque. And if ye fear poverty, soon
will Allah enrich you, if He wills, out of His bounty,
for Allah is All-knowing, All-wise.

9:29 Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the Last
Day, nor hold that forbidden which hath been
forbidden by Allah and His Apostle, nor
acknowledge the religion of Truth, (even if they
are) of the People of the Book, until they pay the
Jizya with willing submission, and feel themselves
subdued.

9:30 The Jews call 'Uzair a son of Allah, and the
Christians call Christ the son of Allah. That is a
saying from their mouth; (in this) they but imitate
what the unbelievers of old used to say. Allah's
curse be on them: how they are deluded away
from the Truth!

9:31 They take their priests and their anchorites to be
their lords in derogation of Allah, and (they take
as their Lord) Christ the son of Mary; yet they
were commanded to worship but One Allah: there
is no god but He. Praise and glory to Him: (Far is
He) from having the partners they associate (with
Him).

9:32 Fain would they extinguish Allah's light with their
mouths, but Allah will not allow but that His light
should be perfected, even though the Unbelievers
may detest (it).

religion, even though the Pagans may detest (it).
Huwa allathee arsala rasoolahu bialhudawadeeni

9:34 O ye who believe! there are indeed many among
the priests and anchorites, who in Falsehood
devour the substance of men and hinder (them)
from the way of Allah. And there are those who
bury gold and silver and spend it not in the way
of Allah: announce unto them a most grievous
penalty-

9:35 On the Day when heat will be produced out of
that (wealth) in the fire of Hell, and with it will be
branded their foreheads, their flanks, and their
backs, their flanks, and their backs.- "This is the
(treasure) which ye buried for yourselves: taste

9:36 The number of months in the sight of Allah is
twelve (in a year)- so ordained by Him the day He
created the heavens and the earth; of them four
are sacred: that is the straight usage. So wrong
not yourselves therein, and fight the Pagans all
together as they fight you all together. But know
that Allah is with those who restrain
Please, Just point to where it says we should kill Christian...
Where is your sense of objectivity here?

It's high time someone sets the record straight! I have long been disgusted by the useless rantings and commotion caused by religion. What exactly is religion? If not a point of view passed on from generations to generations about who God is and the best way of worshiping him. Name one proof that says Islam is better than Christianity or vice-versa. Useless goats on this thread have been shouting, Islam is a religion of violence, Islam commands the killing and slaying of non-muslims. Is Christianity any better? Go back and read your history books, look into the Holy crusades caused by the Holy Roman Catholic Church, the slaying of non-Christians, we all know that all factions of Christianity comes from the Catholic church, so is it not fair to say Christianity also promoted violence? A lot of you ignorant youths lack the necessary knowledge to ever accuse any religion of wrong-doing because you have been brainwashed by your society and religious leaders, the simple truth about religion is that it tears people apart, it makes you view one another as different instead of the simple truth that we all come from the same tree, we all came to this world through the same process and we all shall die one day. Let's be realistic here, Nigeria is one of the most religious countries in the world, every where you turn there is either a church or a mosque, yet so much hatred and destabilization, if that is not proof of what I'm saying then all of you need some serious reality check! Instead of you to fight the government, you sit here and cowardly accuse each other, tell me who is better than the other, one failure calling the other a reject, vanity upon vanity. I assure you no one would fight for Nigeria, if Nigerians don't unite and fight for themselves, you can't divide the county based on religion because not all Muslims are evil and not all Christians are saints, you can't divide the country based on ethnicity because Igbos have married Yoruba and Yorubas have married Hausas with each bearing offsprings, so if we must divide, let's divide based on one common interest, those for Nigeria and those against Nigeria!
