Racoon:
-Sura 47:4

Once again a poor translation serves the purpose of the Islam-haters very well. Let us examine a more accurate translation before analyzing the verse:
47:4 Therefore, when ye meet the Unbelievers in battle, smite at their necks; At length, when ye have thoroughly subdued them, bind a bond firmly (on them): thereafter (is the time for) either generosity or ransom: Until the war lays down its burdens. Thus (are ye commanded): but if it had been God's Will, He could certainly have exacted retribution from them (Himself); but (He lets you fight) in order to test you, some with others. But those who are slain in the Way of God,- He will never let their deeds be lost.
ﻓَﺈِﺫَﺍ ﻟَﻘِﻴﺘُﻢُ ﺍﻟَّﺬِﻳﻦَ ﻛَﻔَﺮُﻭﺍ ﻓَﻀَﺮْﺏَ ﺍﻟﺮِّﻗَﺎﺏِ ﺣَﺘَّﻰٰ ﺇِﺫَﺍ ﺃَﺛْﺨَﻨﺘُﻤُﻮﻫُﻢْ ﻓَﺸُﺪُّﻭﺍ ﺍﻟْﻮَﺛَﺎﻕَ ﻓَﺈِﻣَّﺎ ﻣَﻨًّﺎ ﺑَﻌْﺪُ ﻭَﺇِﻣَّﺎ ﻓِﺪَﺍﺀً ﺣَﺘَّﻰٰ ﺗَﻀَﻊَ ﺍﻟْﺤَﺮْﺏُ ﺃَﻭْﺯَﺍﺭَﻫَﺎۚ ﺫَٰﻟِﻚَ ﻭَﻟَﻮْ ﻳَﺸَﺎﺀُ ﺍﻟﻠَّـﻪُ ﻟَﺎﻧﺘَﺼَﺮَ ﻣِﻨْﻬُﻢْ ﻭَﻟَـٰﻜِﻦ ﻟِّﻴَﺒْﻠُﻮَ ﺑَﻌْﻀَﻜُﻢ ﺑِﺒَﻌْﺾٍۗ ﻭَﺍﻟَّﺬِﻳﻦَ ﻗُﺘِﻠُﻮﺍ ﻓِﻲ ﺳَﺒِﻴﻞِ ﺍﻟﻠَّـﻪِ ﻓَﻠَﻦ ﻳُﻀِﻞَّ ﺃَﻋْﻤَﺎﻟَﻬُﻢْ ﴿ ٤ ﴾
So we now see some grievous mistakes made in the poor translation quoted.

1. The verse makes NO mention whatsoever of "killing and wounding"
2. "Thus are you commanded by God to continue carrying out Jihad against the unbelieving infidels until they submit to Islam " is a complete addition to the verse and is not found anywhere in the Qur'an!
3. That verse does not use the word Jihad at all It is very clear that the context of this verse is in battle, and when in battle the defenders of humanity should attack the unjust oppressors until they are subdued.

The context of this verse was when the Muslims were to fight their enemies for their very existence. After thirteen years of endurance and patience, the prophet and his companions had to leave their home town of Makkah and to emigrate to Madinah. When the people of Madinah had welcomed him there and he was accepted as a leader there, the Makkans became unhappy. They wanted to eliminate Muhammad and his religion; and so they sent their army to root out Islam. And the crucial battle took place in Badr. It was just before this that Muhammad received the revelation from God to fight: {And fight in the way of Allah with those who fight with you, and do not exceed the limits, surely Allah does not love those who exceed the limits.} (Al-Baqarah 2:190)

This meant that the Prophet and his companions were not to start the fighting; but to defend themselves against aggressors. That was how fighting was ordained; but we must know that once we fight, we fight to defeat the aggressors, so that we can live without fear of molestation and invasion; so that we can live in peace; so that justice is done. Remember God does not command any one to start fighting; rather He permits people to fight in self defence or for the defence of those who are attacked unjustly.

Racoon:
False! All the fanatic Islamic terrorists derived their ideological inspiration from the Koran.

What chapter and verse of QUR'AN do they derived it from? Their acts are unislamic in totality

StarUp:
That's Imolite's headache...

No big deal here na, it will soon be a thing of the past

If both of you are Muslims, you are not permitted to have any form of body contact before marriage..and if you are a Christian, then read Bible widely to understand your limit with each other before Marriage.

Is she a Muslim?

And none of his play mates also present??

Are you guys Muslims? if yes, consult the shari'a expert on inheritance in your neighborhood for the ruling in accordance with shari'a.

slightlyMad:
It is amazing how war analysts on NL thinks it is wrong for the US to kill a man who has killed many US citizens and also planning to kill more
is his life more precious than anyone's
without concrete evidences against him, you all think US will just kill him just for fun?

You all need to stop siding with evil

And to you, US is always right in its opinion?

Yes, no Christian will enter paradise except he or she converts to Islam before death. That's the position of Islam on non Muslims. May we all die as a true Muslims

they have this but they keep watching bokoharam ravaging our country for all these years and continue collecting our money in the name of selling arms for us.
Is USA really concerns of bringing peace to the world or they are doing business with human blood

TEHRAN– Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei conveyed a message and expressed his deep condolences on the martyrdom of Commander of IRGC Quds Brigade, General Qasem Soleimani and emphasized that Iran will take tough revenge on criminals.

Is a welcome development. it will minimizes the level of immorality to a certain degree.

why Bible Should not serve as a guides to Christianity that is the issue here and nothing else. when Bible says we should love our neighbours as ourself, we shun that and introduced an act of wastage by lighting our street with stupid light while people are dying of hunger. Abeggggg, let's truth be told for once!!!

Mirilas:
I got my December salary but nothing add to it

sorry please, Federal or state?

I don't trust any of our politicians for now, let's seat back and watch him for awhile...if he's sincere with what he is doing and not other way round of campaigning for his 2nd tenure before showing his negative true colour.

These oyibo people just want to set Africa ablaze especially Nigeria that is highly complicated due to our diversity in tribe and religion.
my wonder is that, we claim to be religious and most of us failed to follow the teachings of Jesus Christ( may GOD peace be upon him) and Prophet Muhammad ( may peace and blessings of GOD be uon him).
The quicker we use our brain the better for us!

BeerParlour:
The religion was brought by one reckless man called Prophet Muhammad

may God forgive you and open your heart to embrace Islam before leaving this world. Try to read about the man you are insulting with his message line by line.

Ttipsy:
Islamic court or any form of religious laws don't and won't have a place in Nigeria... it will only work in an Islamic con3,, not in Nigeria, you can go to hell with that barberic Laws ,, it's ur fckn business

U can't make a religious law a national issue,, that's so so embarrassing coming from a CJN

Bros, go learn Islam...you will enjoy it. since you are still alive you can still make heaven.. forget about the behavior of some northern Muslims. just drop your ego for awhile.

Xbee007:
I am not ignorant of Muhammad's history. I know more about him than you could possibly imagine. I will not say anything about him that I can't back up with evidence from the Qur'an and Hadith.

Again, Muhammed performed good deeds as well as evil deeds. People who emulate him and his entire actions are a threat to the modern society. That is why they're called terrorists.

what are his evil deeds bros??

Nice move, shari'a Court needs to be improved. I enjoyed Akintola's points.. let's Muslims women put on their HIJABS while on uniform either in military or parlamilitary. Shari'a law is justice for all, our Christian, Buddhist, Taoist, Hinddus etc brothers and sisters should not be scared.

Adoke is forming old man here! Let's the law takes it course.

where's Fayoshe/Fayose now please

A politician slaped a politician and ordinary/poor citizens are protesting..Of what reason is the protest now? The lawmaker should go to Court to ventilates his anger.

can someone hearing this man pls, just respect your age. I rest my case

SUPREME COURT STRAIGHT, WE NO GO GREEEE OOOO...THIS IS A DAY LIGHT RAPE OF OUR HARD EARNED DEMOCRACY. THE STOLEN MANDATE MUST BE RECOVERED DEAD OR ALIVE!

TooMuchStuff:
GEJ biggest mistake.

Wish he could turn back the hand of time.

Don't ever ever ever ever Trust a Fulani in all things if you are not Fulani yourself.

How JEGA influenced 2015 general elections? I want to learn sir.

we are not truthful in our dealings, in a serious nation, that goal keeper should not in any way close to super eagles's field..we have hundreds of good goalkeepers in this country but favoratism and centiment would not allow us to do the right thing.
