Do you know that you the Arab world have rejected a 2 state policy proposed by Israel 5 times? Now, you are not getting a foot space.

He can free Palestine but cannot free biafa? What a hypocrise. Charity doesn't start in Palestine

boss...those schools you applied to are wonderful and very competitive...UBC requires a 4.00/5.00 from nigerian applicants.
1) they do consider your last two years....i believe your last two years should be very heavy(as pe GPA things)
2) your uncle can be of help in terms of providing you with tuition fees or living expenses. your uncle must show proof of relationship with you, reliable source of income and number of dependants.
i would prefer you use your parents alone if they have the bar available.
gurus in the house over to you.

[s]This is all hypocrisy. The problem isn't the means of fighting but the target that matters and the purpose. That is why JIHAD and terrorism are worlds apart. If you like jump from the sky to fight or dive into the pacific. What makes it jihad (using force for self defense only) and not terror is if it is in self defense, if it's targets are combatants who are oppressive and if the killed is a wrongdoer who killed you. Not kill based on people's beliefs. There is no takfiri killing in Islam. It makes no sense for Wahhabi clerics to condemn what you call "suicide bombings" and condone takfiri killings. It lacks essence. The difference islamically between "suicide bombing" and "martyrdom operation" based on the verdict of both Sunni and Shia scholars is the target and purpose, and not the means of fighting. I've not for once heard of Wahhabi clerics condemning suicide bombings targeting innocent Iraqi Shia civilians. I've not heard of Wahhabi clerics calling for Shia-Sunni unity, when they know well these are the two wings of Islam. Without either, the religion cannot fly! They only rush to condemn what you call "suicide bombing" in its entirety and particularly in Palestine against occupation forces because poor palestinian Sunnis use this means to resist Israeli occupation. When Israel is the target, they rush to condemn it. They have problem with Muslims defending their lives, properties and land-because of the porous and desperate means used-but have no problem with takfiri killings targeting innocent Muslims for their beliefs and religious practices. Jihad is self defense and not terrorism regardless of the means used for self defense.[/s]

Mr. Beans we are all Muslims here. Is very painful for you to be trying to deny an obvious truth. Wahabism is a cancer.

For your information an Imam of kaaba, black man confirmed that ISIS got their inspiration from the teachings of wahabism. I will provide the link Inshaallah.

And lately following the gruesome murder of that Jordanian pilot by ISIS some Muslim countries started removing all nooks by ibn taimiyya from their shelves and production of new ones stopped because everyone knows the kind of violence and intolerance that those books teach.

In countries like Algeria government even gives official support to sufi zawiyas as a way of de-rsdicalising people

blantyre:
[s]Kai! Alhamdulillah for this insightful piece of yours. You have well spoken my mind and the minds of many peaceful and tolerant Muslims. Wahabists and salafists have destroyed the true essence of Islam. A brother up there was mentioning the need for one to read a certain book. Which book do I need that will portray a wahabist better than the actions of wahabists that we see daily in wanton killings, beheadings burning and utter lack of pity for the sufferings of children and the elderly. Countries that were once peaceful under sufism have suddenly turned to killing fields because knowingly or unknowingly they romanced the salafists clerics of Saudi Arabia eggs Pakistan. The fact that you ascribed a certain name to your ideology does not equate or translate to that ideology. Wahabism is a curse to Islam that why lately I am beginning to feel uncomfortable with the way those Nigerian wshabist called Izala are bringing wahabi clerics to this country [/s]

1. Can you please quote any 'Wahhabi Shaykh' thousand years back? That he called himself 'Wahhabi'

2. For your information, there is no existing Silsila or an authentic chain from Ibn Abdulwahab to Ibn Taymiyya

3. How can we go back to the roots of islam? by reading islamic books on our own? making our own taqlid?

1. There is nothing like full blown Sufi. Islam/Sufism is not a political party.

2. Can you point Shaykh Usman bn Fodio teachers that is 'Wahhabi'? Is Shaykh Jubril Wahhabi?

3. It is obvious you are ignorant of Shaykh Usman. Come to the north, we will teach you his teachings.

4. Shaykh Usman is a Qutb, spiritual pole in Qadiriyya.

[s]1. Quoting him saying this does in no way justifies his stand.
2. What about his books solely based on Sufism like Tariq’l-Janna, Usuul’d-Deen, Tabshir’l-Umma, Usuul’l-Wilaayat also Silsilatul Qadiriyya?[/s]

3. All sufis are followers of Ahl Sunna wal Jummaa and the rightly guided Salafs.

4. There is hardly NO any Sufi Master that didn't wrote about the importance of Sunna and the Manhaj of Salaf. The Tijjaniyya Shaykh, Ibrahim Inyass wrote a whole book Raf'ul Malam amman rafa'a wa qabada iqtidaan bi Sayyidil Anaam, solely on following the Sunna.
Also Check the diwan Of Shaykh Ibrahim Niass, He wrote:

Abayna Siwat Tawhidil lazi, anil mustafa turwa wa an sahbihi turwa.

1. Please give me the chain. It doesnot exist. It is even ignorant to believe that it exists. Please bring it foward.

2. Shaykh Usman bin Fodio wrote a whole book of his teachers, which i know you dont know about, There is NO shaykh that is not sufi.

3. Shaykh Usman bin fodio NEVER went to Makkah. I now confirm you dont know anything about Him.
4. Which year did Uthman went to mecca?

Please read, read and read.

[s][b]in Islam, self defense is the only time the use of force is justified. Whether Shia, Sunni Sufi or mainstream (only) Sunnis will testify to it.

Wahhabism aka Salafism is the only ideology under the banner of Islam that believes in TAKFIRI killings. What is takfiri killings? Wahhabis pass verdicts of disbelief against all other Muslims and hold that shedding their blood is permissible. The same goes to their treatment of non-Muslims. They call you a kaffir or an unbeliever, and to them that merits your blood being shed. This backward and bloodthirsty ideology has nothing to offer good to humanity or Islam. It is not Islam. Even if they hold custody of Makkah and medina for 5000 years, with such ideology of blood, Wahhabism will never and can never be Islam.

That is the reason you have a group like Boko haram has no cause and no mission other than those it perceives as its enemies and those different from them and who hold different beliefs. They aimlessly kill people with different beliefs. Worse, anyone they disagree with can easily be labeled a disbeliever even if that person is Sunni! Wahhabism has put a stain on Islam. That is why even when Muslims have a legitimate cause to fight for and defend, people view Muslims with suspicion and scorn. They easily discredit Muslims as violent people. Now Muslims cannot legitimately fight to defend themselves even when they are right to do so.

All the terrorist groups on earth follow the Wahhabi aka Salafist ideology. All of them with no exception. Any group that is not Salafist and is called a terrorist group, know that that group is being victimized. Many would try to paint hezbollah (they are Shia) as a terrorist group because Israel and America say so. Hezbollah has a national cause in Lebanon. Their mission is to drive out Israeli occupation from Lebanese land. Hezbollah don't go about killing people based on takfirism or based on their beliefs. No Muslim group does that except those under Salafism. That is the definition of terrorism.[/b][/s]

Wahabism started becoming known after the discovery of oil in saudi Arabia,

they use the wealth from oil to propagate it,

before oil discovery saudi was a very poor country administration of mecca and madina were funded by Muslim nations but most came from ottoman empire(present day turkey),

even northern Nigeria government send donation through sardauna,

then mecca had all it artifact intact but when they got money and decided to fully implement wahabism they destroyed every monument in the name of stopping shirk,

today makkah is looking like dubai nothing to show that that is the city where the prophet and many caliph were born.

In the late 60s the budgeted $100B for propagation of wahabism to the world, they contacted sheik mahmud Gumi to the job in Nigeria, Gumi was the grand khadi of northern Nigeria, he founded Izala movement to lay the foundation of wahabism in Nigeria.

The second phase started with scholarship to quranic student to university of madina where they will be taught wahabism well, most of them came back and propagated it well, a typical example is Sheik Jafar Mahmud Adam, after studying in medica he was employed to be the preacher and imam at Indimi mosque maiduguri in 1994, sheik Jafar later appointed Mohammed yusuf amirul shabab( leader of youth) mohammed yousuf had so much followership before of his pierce preaching, he went ahead to establish his own mosque and name it Markas ibn tayyimiyah in railway quaters maiduguri and establish his police and army, to establish an Islamic state that was how Boko Haram was born

HAH:
I can see the Wahabist on this thread are seriously trying to distance their sect with terrorism.

Ask anyone, ISIS, Alqaeda, Alshabab, Boko Haram etc are all wahabist.

So any adherent to wahabism is a potential terrorist.

Beware of them

HAH:
[s]If you want to have a clear view about the history of wahabism and it spread read below, personally I see them as genesis of Terrorism in islam


Wahhabism (Arabic: الوهابية‎‎, al-Wahhābiya(h)) or Wahhabi mission[1] (/wəˈhɑːbi, wɑː-/;[2] Arabic: الدعوة الوهابية‎‎, ad-Da'wa al-Wahhābiya(h) ) is a religious movement or branch of Sunni Islam.[3][4][5][6] It has been variously described as "ultraconservative",[7] "austere",[3] "fundamentalist",[8] or "puritan(ical)"[9][10] and as an Islamic "tore "pure monotheistic worship" (tawhid) by scholars and advocates,[11] and as a distortion of Islam by its opponents.[3][12] The term Wahhabi(ism) is often used polemically and adherents commonly reject its use, preferring to be called Salafi or muwahhid.[13][14][15] The movement emphasises the principle of tawhid[16] (the "uniqueness" and "unity" of God).[17] Its principal influences include Ahmad ibn Hanbal (780–855) and Ibn Taymiyyah (1263–1328).[18]

Wahhabism is named after an eighteenth-century preacher and scholar, Muhammad ibn Abd al-Wahhab (1703–1792).[19] He started a revivalist movement in the remote, sparsely populated region of Najd,[20] advocating a purging of practices such as the popular "cult of saints", and shrine and tomb visitation, widespread among Muslims, but which he considered idolatry (shirk), impurities and innovations in Islam (Bid'ah).[5][17] Eventually he formed a pact with a local leader Muhammad bin Saud offering political obedience and promising that protection and propagation of the Wahhabi movement mean "power and glory" and rule of "lands and men."[21]

The alliance between followers of ibn Abd al-Wahhab and Muhammad bin Saud's successors (the House of Saud) proved to be a durable one. The House of Saud continued to maintain its politico-religious alliance with the Wahhabi sect through the waxing and waning of its own political fortunes over the next 150 years, through to its eventual proclamation of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in 1932, and then afterwards, on into modern times. Today Ibn Abd Al-Wahhab's teachings are the official, state-sponsored form of Sunni Islam[3][22] in Saudi Arabia.[23] With the help of funding from Saudi petroleum exports[24] (and other factors[25]), the movement underwent "explosive growth" beginning in the 1970s and now has worldwide influence.[3]

The "boundaries" of Wahhabism have been called "difficult to pinpoint",[26] but in contemporary usage, the terms Wahhabi and Salafi are often used interchangeably, and they are considered to be movements with different roots that have merged since the 1960s.[27][28][29] However, Wahhabism has also been called "a particular orientation within Salafism",[30] or an ultra-conservative, Saudi brand of Salafism.[31][32] Estimates of the number of adherents to Wahhabism vary, with one source (Mehrdad Izady) giving a figure of fewer than 5 million Wahhabis in the Persian Gulf region (compared to 28.5 million Sunnis and 89 million Shia).[23][33]

Many Sunni and Shia Muslims disagree with the Wahhabi movement, and a widely circulated conspiracy theory holds it to have been a product of British secret service efforts for causing the demise of the Ottoman empire.[34] Ulema, including Al-Azhar ma, including Al-Azhar scholars, regularly denounce Wahhabism in terms such as "Satanic faith".[34] Wahhabism has been accused of being "a source of global terrorism",[35][36] inspiring the ideology of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL),[37] and for causing disunity in Muslim communities by labelling Muslims who disagreed with the Wahhabi definition of monotheism as apostates[38] (takfir) and justifying their killing.[39][40][41] It has also been criticized for the destruction of historic mazaars, mausoleums, and other Muslim and non-Muslim buildings and artifacts.[/s]

usmanktg2:
OP is blind to Islamic History. Wahhabism is the fundamental base of all terrorists attack since the advent of the 20th century.

The most peaceful Islam is the Traditional Sufism which came together with our Islam here in Nigeria prominently by Shaykh Uthman Bn Fodio (Qadiriyya) and Shaykh Umar Futi (Tijjaniyya)

Wahhabism got rid of the Spiritual dimension of Islam for selfish interest to denounce the Ottoman Caliphate, leaving Islam with nothing but mere theories.

Read up فتنة الوهابية and الصواعق الإلهية.

Empiree:
No, this is not what I am talking about. Islam does not in anyway forbids mutual and friendly trades with non-muslims. That's not the point here. Yes, every country has friendly ties somehow. But in this context we are talking about ALLIANCE. This is different. This is what Islam forbids. This is what i derived from your op unless you did not mean it that way. There is difference between alliance and common friendship and trade. Majority Sunni countries (not the people) have entered "unholy alliance" which Allah forbids.

Again, unless you did not mean it this way in your op, then, am sorry. But your op suggests this. Let me give you example. Alliance is a formidable relationship btw two parties.

Empiree:
Walaikum Sallam. Please i don't have time for this. Dont tell me you have eyes but cant see. There are conspiracies. YES. And there are obvious facts. You either admit what i posted or if you want to dig, you will see lots of dirty stuff which i am not interested at this point Why pretending like there is no alliance btw West and Royal family?. You disappointed me really. I just read another one today.

Empiree:
All they need is cut the ties with the West and the rest is solved. The problem is not Saudi Shuyuk but the Royals. Very important to distinguish btw the two. But unfortunately, it is hard thing to do. The royal family has a very strong alliance with the West (British) bcus they created them to begin with. Hence, there will always be "unbreakable" alliance btw the two. It is the same powerful force which created the state of Israel. So there is a common alliance btw British, US, Saudi and Israel. Saudi Shyuk however do not always agree with them.

I love your signature, might have to adopt it!

First get a company in Calgary to formally offer you an IT (internship) role, and then you can talk about applying for a visa with CIC. It is extremely unlikely that they would give you a visa for the sake of you going there to "look for a job". Maybe your uncle can link you up with a company out there, or you can find one yourself. Cheers.

BeansAndBread:
Good day guys,
It's really nice reading through the thread. I'm a Mechanical Engineering 400lv student, I'm in my 1st semester and I'm to commence IT/SIWES(Industrial Attachment/Intern) by next year from February to September. I have a close family friend(he's like my uncle) who's also a Mechanical Engineer in Calgary and he said I could visit him and start my IT.
He's a Permanent Resident, but my question is. What kind of visa should I apply for and do engineering firms pay internship?
Thank you!
