samunaka:


you people took Buhari for granted because he quickly succumb to your demand and proscribed SARS, you were thinking that you can intimidate him to resign, all of you are living in fool's paradise

SpicyMimi:
It’s quite unfortunate!

You think you just attacked the government? How many of these politicians use public transports?
You have rendered many jobless and some of these traders and shop owners might be suicidal now.


Wisdom you lack.

thanks to you all for your inputs and contributions.......All suggestions and advises are noted

LadySarah:


keep quiet!
Every child learn at their own pace! If you aren't a parent just shut it instead of making this op feel something is wrong with the child.

nothing is wrong with that child. he isn't a slow learner and he isn't anything. he is a child and should be allowed to learn at their pace.


My children at 3plus can't write anything but check back at 4plus and see them reading literature .Theyd always look me in the face and say I don't want to write anything and go back to playing.
Playing is fundamental to a child's mental development.

you the father should engage him and plz play with him. Talk about his favourite cartoon or game of interest and infuse it in what you want to teach them . If you shout or flog you instil fear in them and the aim is defeated.

If it is1 or 2 letters that was learnt in a day, praise him and repeat again 2moro.

Again, nothing is wrong with him. you ppl should stop stressing him. Don't listen to those who tell you that their 2 yr olds are already writing up-to 500.

God bless you jare. The teachers are trying their best and your child is trying as well. for the fact that he is not in nursery yet, he is doing well for his age group please don't stress him out else he will start seeing learning as a burden. The mother needs to be admonished as well because the beating and torture is unnecessary. Haba! He is just a child, he needs encouragement and love to build him for the future not torture.

Did OP also realize that there are some children of same age group who don't know anything? Not even 1-10 and they are in the same class.

Your child is doing well and am sure he will perform better as he is growing up. So, please take it easy with that child.

Smile, seriously, please what did you know about Christan or Christianity?

Really, like the way Islam claim that Jesus lied about his death and resurrection or like the way Muslim cliam that Muhammad is the comforter, you people are hilarious.

You want to be left alone but you people can't stop poking your nose on someone else religion yet if you are treated the same you will start crying like a baby. And sorry miss, you are never a Christian, we have see your likes before

fatymore:


Walahi...

You hardly see Muslims with hatred like this on their thread rather it is still Christians like them that would derail the thread

womenareapes:
in Islam, women are not entitled to work but just for only sex and beating!

come to Christian and give your life to Christ Jesus and be free all of this religion slaving.


Islam don't value women. them call them black dog. and if you are the good woman who can take rubbish for Muhammed, them will now call you white dog.

donjazet:
Very nonsense religion with archaic and anachronistic practices.

Why would Muslim societies choose to be so backwards and refuse to evolve??
Why would they believe that a female is fundamentally inferior to a male and see to suppress that female.

I was really shocked to learn that it is bad for a woman to shake Hands with any male who is not her husband, that is just plain rubbish.
This religion needs to undergo total reformation and refurbishment.

gypsey:
fine! you are allowed to do or believe that, But remember you will be the one giving birth to these 1,2 or 3 kids. God will not turn up at your doorstep and hand these children to you. So it would be your responsibility to stop yourself from having sex, not getting pregnant and giving birth to dozens of kids you cannot cater for.

People like me who do not believe in God religion can have kids too and has kids, I have 3 kids myself so again it has nothing to do with God. I had 3 because i can cater for for 3 God didn't give them to me.

My point is people should apply common sense and personal responsibilities not some sheer believes that God will give them some handouts to care for their 2 dozen kids because God gave them these kids.

gypsey:
God has nothing to do with this, Poor people should not give birth to children if they cannot care for them financially. Simple! these poor ignorant people go about having sex, getting pregnant and giving birth to dozens of kids while waiting for and unexistence God to send them money to care for these poor kids.

They need to be educated.

ValCon888:
I don't even know what to say. The maltreatment is just too inhuman. I can't even imagine the pain the poor girl is going through. Just look at her stomach. It is obvious she is starving the little girl because she looks like a Kwashiorkor victim. And you expect her not to lick the baby's milk.

There is a special place in hell for people like this woman who treat their help like slaves.

About islamophobia, I don’t know if that’s really a modern challenge. I did observe more islamophobia in certain parts of the world versus in others. And I think I understand what you mean when you call it a modern challenge.


The question was leaning more towards things like modern technology, modern laws and legislations, Advancement in immigration and emigration, expanded educational curricula etc.
Has any of that been a challenge to your religion?

For example, in the Catholic Church, modern legislations that now allow gender equality and same sex unions poses a problem to the tradition of the church because it has a patriarchal foundation. A woman still can’t be a priest in the Catholic Church while in some other Christian domains, women pastors are allowed.

Same same unions are still a long way from being acceptable even though the new pope makes comments about acceptance and subtraction of judgement. The tradition is still so strong that even the pope’s words are not convincing that many people.

Do you find such modern advancements to be problematic in your islamic religion. Not to you personally but to the group as a whole.

Thank you

cococandy:
Alennsar. Thank you so much for your responses. I appreciate that you took your time to answer. I find your responses very detailed. Thank you

cococandy:
Finally.

What challenges can you identify that your religious tradition faces in the modern world? Do you feel that your religious tradition is responding positively?

If yes or no, do you mind explaining?

Thanks

cococandy:
Do you think there are any conflicts between your religious teachings and your personal beliefs?

cococandy:
What do you consider sacred?

Are there certain acts of reverence you must perform?
certain people who are sacred?
Places you consider sacred?

cococandy:
What Material objects do you use in the expression of your faith?
What Physical elements are symbolic in your religion? Do you use statues, paintings, musical instruments, objects like incense, flowers, clothing, architecture or sacred places?

For example in orthodox churches, rosaries, paintings, statues and sanctuaries are some examples of physical religious expression.

Do you have similar symbolism?

cococandy:
What are some emotions that are associated with your religion?
dread of sin to avoid offending the divine?,

guilt if you sin?,

awe of the divine?

mystery, devotion, liberation, inner peace?

Do you believe in rebirth (reincarnation) on earth or a life beyond the earthly one?

cococandy:
What kind of rituals do you practice?

Not rituals in the negative sense as portrayed by Nigerian movies . But acts of religious devotion that you’re physically encouraged to partake in.

For example, In the catholic church, some rituals practiced include holy communion as a sign of oneness with Jesus , or using of ash to smear the forehead on Ash Wednesday as a sign of penitence. Do you have any similar rituals in Islam?

cococandy:
What are some central myths that you share?

Like Christians believe Jesus died and resurrected.
He turned water to wine or that he fed 5000 folks with 2 fish.

Stuff like that.

cococandy:
How is your belief system and its ideals practiced? as a group of believers who come together? How do you come together?

cococandy:
