maclatunji: LOL. You guys are so desperate that you now question and answer yourselves. Islam is Islam and whatever delusions you teach yourselves will be just that.

So much for answering the question. I wonder who is delusional

NL member: I can't believe this guy ignored you like that.
Alexis, a muslim woman has to go to a sharia court to seek divorce, she cannot do it verbally the way her husband can do it (muslim men can divorce their wives simply by telling them 'I divorce you' three times in the space of a number of months.
Muslim women however, must seek divorce from a sharia court and give Islamically valid reasons for why they want a divorce.
That reason you gave, ie because her husbamd married another wife, is not an islamically valid reason and the sharia court will never grant a woman the right to divorce on the grounds that her husband is marrying or has married another woman.
Never.
Allah made it permissible for men to marry four wives so she cannot end a marriage because her husband is enjoying one of the benefits Allah has bestowed on men alone. No matter how heartbroken or rejected she feels, she must stay married to him and get the eff over herself.
Allahu alim

I wanted to give maclatunji an opportunity to answer the questions. The practice of Taqiyya is very common amongst muslim apologist but like always - history and the muslim records say otherwise.

Thank you for shedding light on the subject, well appreciated.

maclatunji

Of course she does, she can either accept or reject it.

Thanks for answering, well appreciated

There is absolutely no need for me to bother writing an essay on the matter. Knock yourself out here http://www.islamhelpline.com/node/7308

I asked if she had any say; I never asked about divorce. That leads me to another question - on what grounds can a muslim woman ask for divorce from her husband?

Can she ask for divorce if he marries another wife? If yes, please state who confirms/grants the divorce and please refer to the Quran or Hadith if this is acceptable in Islam. Thanks. If No - why not?

maclatunji: ^Like what rights does a western woman have that a Muslim woman doesn't? Let us look at specifics, it is very easy to confuse perception with reality.

Does a muslim woman have any say when her husband wants to take another wife. If yes - please back it up from the Quran.

omoelu1: wow ! thanks to Ajibel. i used d raw_input method and it works.. many thanks to u. plus, alexis, i still wud like u to tell me how to get the environment.
#moving on with ma tutorial now#

Ajibel described it perfectly i.e. trapping the code so you can see what is happening

omoelu1: help!! python programmers in the house. i started learning python yesterday and am loving it, but i have a problem which is: I can execute “.py“ files directly. if i try it, it will just flash the output result and take it away in d twinkle of an eye. but i have no problem typing in Gui command line.. what am i doing wrong pls??..thanks in advance..

You need an environment to show your output hence the reason you use the CLI, IDLE or a GUI with python installed. Just clicking on the .py or .pyc bytecoded file will flash very fast because, there is environment to trap the output and display it for you. So, it's not like it doesn't run, it does - you just need an environment to see what you are running

chuose: Look at the pics

soundpoint was referring to RoyPCain last post which has little to nothing to do with the thread at hand

Excel23: thanks brother. Assuming i am a fast learner, how long would it take me to grab python? , i am a fresher in programming, i took off with html and vb2010.

Languages like python and ruby are pretty simple to learn. Depending on what you intend to do with them, something else might be better. In my opinion, spending an hour a day everyday will get you up to speed. Solving problems with them and doing assignments with them will greatly help you.

There is a free course online i.e. interactive on how you can build a search engine with python. It makes heavy use of python string methods and lists to implement this. So, what do you want do with python?

Excel23: Pls which version of python do i need to download as a fresher?

Python 3.2 is becoming popular but most people and python software still uses 2.6.x or higher. Alternatively, you can install pypi virtualenv - https://pypi.python.org/pypi/virtualenv. It's a tool to create isolated Python environments.

paddy4destiny: non yet. Not in a hurry

But you are in a hurry to see the works of others? Have you built anything with any language?

Judas2013: 99.9% of them are greedy.

So, you took a list of all pastors in the entire world, did a background check and found out that 99.9% are greedy?

metti:
Google!

Please provide the specific links from google

wushi: I'v read stories on nairaland since I joined last yr buh neva made any comment. Mayb its tym I say sth. It is unfortunate dat d gospel of salvation dat was freely given by God hv been commercialized like media contents. Buh I blame it on us d members. I was born in baptist or Ecwa or catholic den I grow up n say dere is no holy spirit dere anymore cos dey dont jump n scream while prayin. + we r xo in search of miracles dat we lost our sense of reasonin. By d tym we aall go back to our roots all dis 'pastorprenuer' like sum of u call dem wil run out of bizness.

When people are ignorant, others take advantage of them. Nice post

Judas2013: 99.9% of them are greedy.

And where did you get that information from?

Ada Nri1: please enlighten me on that part of the scripture. I had no idea

I asked him the same

infiniteloop: Follow ifa and it shall be well with you. The problem is all these foreign religions. They are up to no good.

Have you ever wondered why no black man made it to the ark?!

Point is: the big pastors know this. Religion(or church) is just a big FRAUD.

If I begin talk now, this christians will come out with their immunity clause: Touch not. My anointed and do my prophet no harm.

I should state clearly I'm not a member of the rival religion-islam. All I know is: the entirety of the human race is on a long-thing.

Humans seriously think there is one heaven or hell waiting for them! Are you kidding me?!

Humans seriously think the entire universe was, in fact, created for their good.

And they think they are even capable of offending the creator of the universe and he will have their time to even create hell/heaven. That's so incredibly brilliant.

Let's be frank. Shame on all the pastors. All of them. They know they are defrauding these folks and yet insist. Shame on all of them.

Shame on ALL pastors? Really? All pastors? Do you know all pastors in the entire world?

ooshinibos: IT IS SCRIPTURAL FOR A CHRISTIAN OR PASTOR TO BE RICH , PEOPLE DONT COMPLAIN ABOUT RICH IMAMS AND MUSLIM when a christian is rich the devil panicks , I PRAY THAT ALL MY PASTORS BE ABUNDANTLY RICH MORE THEN THEIR ENEMIES

Can you show us in scripture where Pastors and Apostles are mandated to be RICH!

Pastor Kun: Yes it is the pastor's duty. In case you don't know pastor means shepherd, it is the shepherd's duty to take care of the flock and not just milk them. Any pastor that doesn't know this is not worth being called a pastor. Also if you read your bible well, church collections in the early church was always used to take care of the needy in the church. That is the example our pastors ought to follow.

Most churches have no economic empowerment for it's members. There are no food banks, no shelters, no work-shops to teach people good skill to fend for themselves and provide for their families.

paddy4destiny: alexis what have u done in any language

Bros Paddy - This is not about me . If you are interested in my professional/academic work; I don't mind referring you to some of them. I am interested in what NL python members have done. I am always interested in anything Python .

Here are a few of my foot-prints on the web:

1. TriComm Systems - http://www.tricommsystems.com/. Website is in PHP. Product runs mainly on C and frontend on PHP
2. Digital Ocean = www.digitalocean.com. RoR ecosystem and backed-end by KVM running on Linux. While I am not a RoR developer, I think it's a pretty darn good framework similar Django.

Most of my work is not Internet facing so you can't see them but I will be happy to give you an over-view if you are interested.

Can you show me any of your work?

Don Ocso: watch out! Is droping sooner than later.

How long should I wait?

I always here people learning python for this and that but haven't seen one productive app or software based on python come from NL python coders.

Has anyone here written anything in python that we can all see or use?

Matuidi: No true Muslims like seeing Innocent people murdered. This is the plan of the terrorists to create havoc among Nigerians. Stop grouping an entire religion with these boko haram terrorists you dumbfucks.

You are right, people shouldn't generalize. However, we can't deny the fact that Boko Haram members and other violent groups like Ansaru are muslims.

DonCrust: Are you in Abuja?

No I am not. What do you want to use python for? What language do you use currently? What are you trying to achieve? What ecosystem do you want to apply Python in?

DonCrust: Yes I am. I taught myself html and i have done so many projects. Maybe its cos i was using the inbuilt module or something, but i found it very boring and I hate to be bored... I'm working on app development now and I'll need someone with more experience to work me through it.

If you can't use Python, what can you use? I find Ruby and Python syntax to be some of the easiest out there. HTML, XHTML are formatting languages, it's good to know them but they are client side rendering languages.

DonCrust: I was learning python no my own and i must confess it wasn't easy so i put it aside...

Are you serious? Python wasn't easy. What language do you find easy?

kq: Thanks for the reply. By communications I meant in a telecommunications environment. Do you have any scenarios you can talk about how Python has been used in these areas i.e. System and network administration.

For example, automating sys admin tasks such as creating users on a server or setting permissions to a share. Network admin tasks such as pulling log files and filtering files. You know things of such nature. I just want to know if anybody as used either python or perl in these areas because it seems the only thing people use this scripting languages for is web and app development.

Thank you

Python excels in the Sys Admin ecosystem. Take a look at IPython - http://ipython.org/. Let me know if you need any help. You can use python to do any Sys Admin work you would normally do using your own Sys Admin utilities.

mahdino: You know your name is already misunderstood G so, I will be very patience to explain to u in details.
The 32 scholars of the highest emenince back by 50 different cooperating denominations went back to the most ancient manuscript close to the original. The ancient manuscript is dated 400 - 600 yrs AD while the most ancient manuscript is 200 yrs AD. Now when the went back to that script they found out that the word begotton was not there so they see fit to throw it out.
U self what do u know about the bible no be wetin una elders don finsh do na I'm dey go come Africa dey share for una.
Brother u have to use ur God given inteligence open ur heart and mind and search for the truth.

So far, you have provided not one proof - your premise is on hear-say. Any fool can make a rule and every fool can accept it. Whether people believe in the deity of Jesus Christ or not is irrelevant - History records his life and works even before it was written down. If you want to debate the written Bible, that is your cup of tea; not mine.

The same Jesus that healed the sick, raised the dead and fed thousands is the same Jesus doing the same today . It's nothing new that the Bible has been attacked over the centuries, some scholars claim Jesus is an imaginative one. Muslims love Jehovah witness because they share the same thing in common - They deny the deity of Jesus Christ.

mahdino

Adam believed in one God. Either God sent his angels(messenger) to Adam to let him know what is reqired from him or he gave him directly, the point to note is that he submit himself to God even after the forbiden fruit he regreted, seek forgiveness and still believe in one God. @ his time he does not need to feed the poor or love his neighbour or turn the other chic all that waS not reqiured from him at that time was to believe in one God. So the isSue Of sending another prophet for him is not required.

Dude, what are you talking about? Can you prove that Adam was a muslim outside the Quran? The Quran copied the bible event of Adam. The Bible never claimed Adam was a Jew or Christian yet the Quran claimed it. Can you please prove he was a muslim - Did he recite the Shahada? Did he go to the Kabbah?

I understand that u have been trained to hate anything islam or muslim all these terms islam and muslim simply Means someone who believes in one God and submit himself to his lord and what his Lord wants him to do.

You are so ignorant. I hate no one. What I hate and fight is the ideology of violence and intolerance Islam teaches.
