A day without zombies mentioning ipob or Igbo is like a day wasted.... kiss kiss

This guys their hate can't just be hidden, the more they try to sound platonic the more it slips out.

He capitalized lmo and tagged Ipob equating with Almajiri as if Igbos ever begged from whatever insignificant group he belongs. Irony that this sentiment is likely coming from people who claimed abandoned properties and businesses belonging to others after Civil War. Shameless

Hold it a bit. You are getting things mixed up.

You are confusing religion for Christianity.

You mentioned a lot of horrible perpetrated by various Christian groups and Organizations which are true to the fact.
Now let's differentiate Religion from Christianity.

Of all you mentioned including the slavery of fellow humans, invasion and subjugation of people and their lands, forced conversion and arbitrary murder.
Can any of these acts be supported by the Life and Teachings of Jesus Christ or that of his earliest apostles and followers. NO!!

You won't find an instance where Jesus or the Apostles encouraged or engaged in any of these acts.

Now the term Christian was coined in Antioch in reference to those who acted or behaved like Christ. Therefore if someone deviates from the exemplary lifestyle of Christ, he or she and their actions can never be affiliated with true Christianity.
Religion on the other hand fuses true faith with human politics and cultures, a mixture that can never preserve the integrity of true Christianity.
So your points are invalid points and can't count.

Now, If I was to present my case as you did, lo and behold it will be valid because Muhammad, the last prophet was a Slave Owner, a Raider, a Warlord and Invader who was killed by one of his prisoners of war .
His earliest apostles too followed suit even to the point of assassinating themselves.

So you can clearly differentiate Religious Extremists from true Christianity. Islam on the other hand cannot be separated from Religious Extremism from the originator down to modern day believers

Allah never ordered Muslims to kill unjustly..

Allah SWT said:

"Allah does not forbid you from those who do not fight you because of religion and do not expel you from your homes - from being righteous toward them and acting justly toward them. Indeed, Allah loves those who act justly."
(QS. Al-Mumtahana 60: Verse cool

"Allah only forbids you from those who fight you because of religion and expel you from your homes and aid in your expulsion - [forbids] that you make allies of them. And whoever makes allies of them, then it is those who are the wrongdoers."
(QS. Al-Mumtahana 60: Verse 9)

"Say, Come, I will recite what your Lord has prohibited to you. [He commands] that you not associate anything with Him, and to parents, good treatment, and do not kill your children out of poverty; We will provide for you and them. And do not approach immoralities - what is apparent of them and what is concealed. And do not kill the soul which Allah has forbidden [to be killed] except by [legal] right. This has He instructed you that you may use reason."
(QS. Al-An'aam 6: Verse 151)

* Via Qur'an English http://quran-en.com


Muslims are commanded to follow the commandments of Allah. If anyone go against this he or she is not a Muslim.. Muhammad was a prophet just like the previous prophet used by God to establish true worship in the process of lt lead to war and blood shed this was nothing new considering history of isreal right from the time of Noah (the flood), Sodom and Gomora, death at red sea (Moses) e.t.c

Moses was commanded to kill by God that does not mean his followers must go on a killing spree after his death. There are laws given to them to follow. Muslims do not have right to take life unjustly anyone involved in this act are not true muslims and not righteous in Allahs sight.


If we truly look indepth into the cause of terrorism in the world we would truly see that it more about politics than religious issue. There are bound to be disobedient followers if as peaceful as Jesus is said to be his follower still created a group known as Crusaders and killed loads of people e.t.c will you blame it on Jesus or Moses...
Don't be Ignorant.

The Ottoman Empire was invading Christian Lands so the Roman Catholic Church funded military campaigns to respond to Islamic aggression as always in those regions.

Turkey was once the Christian Byzantine Empire before it fell to the Ottoman Empire who made it their Crown Jewel. The Crusaders were defeated there.

So don't equate the noble Crusaders with your whatever.

Jesus does not have to kill, other prophets of God before Jesus fought and kill not even a single one of them including Jesus Is good.

Since Jesus is your God Who sent Moses, David, Samuel to kill, Jesus might not kill physically but since he is God according to christians then he Gave orders to kill.

1. The Flood (Genesis 6-cool
2. The cities of the plain, including Sodom and Gomorrah (Genesis 18-19)
3. The Egyptian firstborn sons during the Passover (Exodus 11-12)
4. The Canaanites under Moses and Joshua (Numbers 21:2-3; Deuteronomy 20:17; Joshua 6:17, 21)
5. The Amalekites annihilated by Saul (1 Samuel 15)
We meet again.

Okay let's agree according to you, Jesus is a murderer, and according to Christians Muhammad is a murderer.

We have a tie here and need a tie breaker. Ok, Let's look at modern precedents and statistics.

Which religion specializes in Organized Institutionalized Terrorism. ISLAM !!
You guys beat the Terrorism Index by huge margins .

In every continent, The natural violent tendencies of Islam and Muslims rears it's ugly head.

For benefit of doubt, let's consider Asia, a region unoccupied by " Western Powers " so that we can isolate baseless claims of " Oppression and Occupation".

In Asia, Islamic Terrorism is a major threat with ugly incident in recent years.
Bombay and Mumbai Bombings in India, Sri Lanka Church bombing in 2019. Even Indonesia, the country with largest Muslim population ruled and governed by Muslims yet there is the threat of Islamic Terrorism. A threat from "Christian Terrorism" is basically non-existent in such a critical country.

Even Socialist China is forced to violate human rights inorder to control Islam before it manifest it's true colors. National Security first.

Coming back home, we don't need to remind ourselves of the same Muslims who kill and maim muslims and Non-muslims as if it was part of God's revelation to Muhammad.

It is a disgrace that nowadays Muslims are still in the denial phase, denying that terrorists are true Muslims, denying that these terrorists were not brainwashed not with a Bible in a Church but with a Quran in a Mosque.
When will we all concede that Islam in it's entirety is Terrorism Objectified ??

QUESTION:
Isn't prophet Muhammed himself partially responsible for the early wars in Arabia because he robbed caravans (when he was in Medina), which evolved into battles? If Muhammed did not rob these caravans, wouldn't that have saved lives?

Mark 10
18 And Jesus said to him, Why do you call Me [[m]essentially and perfectly [n]morally] good? There is no one [[o]essentially and perfectly [p]morally] good --except God alone
Just take a look at grown men defending Institutionalized Terrorism. Take time to examine Muhammad's motive for taking the first life ?

Was it an act of self-defence ? NO !!
Was it to execute Justice ? NO !!
Was it to maintain Peace ? NO !!

He just had one agenda, confront, defeat and convert the Unbelievers. A pure maniac. That was how Islam started from him and spread to the rest of the world. From the Abu Bakr to Ottoman Empire to the Bornu Kingdom in Nigeria here.

Usman Dan Fodio was hosted by generous Indigenes. Unprovoked, he and his wild dogs turned on the Indigenes, subjugated them and converted them. They did this up to Kwara thus infecting the erstwhile progressive Yoruba nation.

God had to intervene and give the Western world the upper hand, enough to demolish the Ottoman Empire. If not this barbaric people would have done the worst.

Why will Muhammad go on a killing and looting spree just because the Unbelievers rejected his doctrine and banished him for constituting nuisance.
They inflicted no bodily harm on him yet he chose to pay them back in the Devil's fashion, A typical career terrorist.

If you can't convince them, kill them. What sort of barbaric of logic.
Tomorrow when a brainwashed Muslim sees Non-muslims succeeding and dominating life, applying the same logic , they go on Jihad. Then the stupid terrorist and the silent sympathisers ( 70% of Muslims like the guys above) will justify their petty envy with claims that the victims are sinners or some bs.

Keep defending Terrorism, soon it will consume you whole ask your colleagues in Syria, Afghanistan and Nigeria.

37 O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, murdering the prophets and stoning those who are sent to you! How often would I have gathered your children together as a mother fowl gathers her brood under her wings, and you refused!

38 Behold, your house is forsaken and desolate (abandoned and left destitute of God's help). [I Kings 9:7; Jer. 22:5.]

39 For I declare to you, you will not see Me again until you say, Blessed (magnified in worship, adored, and exalted) is He Who comes in the name of the Lord!(F)



Is facing a direction physical limitation. Allah can only be worshipped in spirit because we cannot see him God having a a house doesn't mean he cannot be worshipped in spirit.

Were the Jews worshipping God physically can they see him?
Don't quote me again bro I will not reply. I am serious.

Sorry to say you are not reasoning at all. How will you say facing a fixed direction is not a physical limitation. If you can not face anywhere or stay in any posture to pray that constitutes a physical limitation.

You keep mentioning Bible verses that scolds Jerusalem, now I'm asking did the bible tell Christians/Jews to stop worshipping in Jerusalem and relocate to Mecca and continue worship ?? Please think or stop disturbing me. Idolatry is a sin.

So are you saying the Jews facing a direction when praying is idolatry and God was against it.

Allah SWT said:

"We have certainly seen the turning of your face, [O Muhammad], toward the heaven, and We will surely turn you to a qiblah with which you will be pleased. So turn your face toward al-Masjid al-Haram. And wherever you [believers] are, turn your faces toward it [in prayer]. Indeed, those who have been given the Scripture well know that it is the truth from their Lord. And Allah is not unaware of what they do."
(QS. Al-Baqara 2: Verse 144)

"And if you brought to those who were given the Scripture every sign, they would not follow your qiblah. Nor will you be a follower of their qiblah. Nor would they be followers of one another's qiblah. So if you were to follow their desires after what has come to you of knowledge, indeed, you would then be among the wrongdoers."
(QS. Al-Baqara 2: Verse 145)

* Via Qur'an English http://quran-en.com
I already showed you the books of Exodus in the Bible drafted from the Torah where God instructed the Jews not to bow before any graven image of things on the surface or below the earth.

He also never gave Abraham any directive ( in the Bible and Torah ) to pray facing any particular altar or direction, bowing or standing.

The jews facing the temple is not something ordained by God probably a tradition that Muhammad later plagiarized.
The Jerusalem temple never existed in Abraham's lifetime ( The patriarch of the Jews ) so where did God ordain him to face during prayer? Use logic, please.

God telling Muhammad to turn to the qiblah is a commandment that contradicts the command against Idolatry which he instructed. So Satan is behind that not the true God.

Did you not read this bible verse where Jesus said worship of the Father will be moved from Jerusalem

John 4
21 Jesus said to her, Woman, believe Me, a time is coming when you will worship the Father neither [merely] in this mountain nor [merely] in Jerusalem.

22 You [Samaritans] do not know what you are worshiping [you worship what you do not comprehend]. We do know what we are worshiping [we worship what we have knowledge of and understand], for [after all] salvation comes from [among] the Jews.

23 A time will come, however, indeed it is already here, when the true (genuine) worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and in truth (reality); for the Father is seeking just such people as these as His worshipers.




The Talmud states that a Jew praying in the Diaspora, shall direct himself toward the Land of Israel; in Israel, toward Jerusalem; in Jerusalem, toward the Temple; and in the Temple, toward the Holy of Holies. ... The custom is based on the prayer of Solomon (I Kings 8:33, 44, 48; II Chron. 6:34).


Did Jesus pray at the temple or not?
OMG, Funny fellow, you are blowing my wits out.

Where in those verses did Jesus say or imply that soon we will be bowing in praying facing Mecca in Saudi Arabia instead of Jerusalem.
Yes, he said Worshipped will be moved from Jerusalem, did he say the new site for worship is hereby relocated to Kaaba, Mecca, Saudi Arabia.
Even when the Jews worship in Jerusalem, did they bow to any image or rock?

You don't sound intelligent at all.

Doesn't the phrase that contains the words " Worship in In SPIRIT and TRUTH " show that Jesus hinted that the ideal worship will have no physical limitation or barrier ?? Spirit is metaphysical. Get hold of your logic man, you are embarrassing yourself!!

Would you consider that idolatry Jesus did the same when he prayed at the temple.
In the verse of the Quran, there is no mention that instructed Abraham to pray in the direction of the Kaaba.

Muhammad the charlatan, copied the Islamic and Judaic religious rites and scripted a false religion to find a common ground to make it easy to deceive people.

The Talmud is similar to the Sunna and Hadith in Islam. Talmud is not the word of God rather Hebrew religious rites and traditions.

In the Torah, the Jewish counterpart of the Quran. God never instructed Israelites to pray facing any particular direction or object. Stop covering up your Idolatry and don't try to Involve Jesus in the sins of Muhammad.

5 Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me;

God gave Moses this law for the people of Isreal recorded in the Jewish Scriptures, repeated in the Bible, I don't know if Angel Gabriel forgot the script and gave Muslims a different version.

All prophets of God preached the same message which is the worship of one God. Jesus and Muhammad both did the same.

We follow all the messengers without making distinction between we follow the Quran which was revealed to the last prophet (Muhammad). There is no way we Muslims can accept Muhammad without believing Jesus (Isa) was the messiah. We make no division between any of them they are all messengers of God and none not even Muhammad is second in Command.



Jesus nor Muhammad never did all they did on their own the creator is the one who is all deserving of the credit he was only using both of them.


John 5
30 I am able to do nothing from Myself [independently, of My own accord--but only as I am taught by God and as I get His orders]. Even as I hear, I judge [I decide as I am bidden to decide. As the voice comes to Me, so I give a decision], and My judgment is right (just, righteous), because I do not seek or consult My own will [I have no desire to do what is pleasing to Myself, My own aim, My own purpose] but only the will and pleasure of the Father Who sent Me.



God does not have a second in command. There is only one God and we are all expected to serve him including Muhammad and Jesus..

Say whatever pleases you, the fact remains, the way the Quran portrays Jesus is way more magnificent than whatever Muhammad was pictured as. That is the Quran.

The doctrines and principles of Muhammad match Jesus's message only on a basal level. Other than that, they are worlds apart.

Talkless of the rest of Hadith and Sunna that will taint the pristine image of Jesus.

Was Jesus the only prophet and messenger of Allah. Why are you not Questioning why God would send Moses for example despite what he did..


Jesus said

Mathew 10
.34Do not think that I have come to bring peace upon the earth; I have not come to bring peace, but a sword.

35For I have come to part asunder a man from his father, and a daughter from her mother, and a [m]newly married wife from her mother-in-law--

36And a man's foes will be they of his own household.

[b}God had warned isreal already they failed to heed his warning he said[/b]

Let me lie and wait for enemies of Islam cos I know they will attack now their food don land.
Next from your quoted text, you are trying to paint a violent picture of Jesus of the Bible to the best of your ability. I know it is hard because the case of a violent Jesus has little to no substance. grin grin
These few verses are often used by most Muslims to plead their case, the reason being that they read it out of context and salt its interpretation with their bigotry. To help you is my explanation below;

Match those quoted words of Lord Jesus to his actions and the rest of his life.

Did he ever form an armed group? NO

Did he ever attack anyone with an intent to kill? NO. During his arrest, Peter his disciple cut off an official's ear, Jesus warned Peter against using violence to solve problems, then he picked up the cut ear and fixed it back.

Jesus preached an awkward pacifist philosophy. He said these words " If someone slaps you on one cheek, turn the other for him to slap on too " " Forgive your brother up to 70 * 7 ( 490 ) times in one day ". He was only being figurative about his command to love and be peaceful.

Now, what could he mean by those verses you quoted. He implied that following his doctrines i.e becoming a Christian will put you at odds with the rest of the world even up to your family members.

His words have been fulfilled today, where newly converted Christians are disowned by their parents and family, ostracized by sinners who see them as being too holy, persecuted for their faith even up to death sometimes by your loved ones. In summary, that was simply a warning to his followers that believing in him has set them on a collision course with the rest of the world.

Another reason for the first verse is that the Jewish Nation from his time even up till now is still expecting a coming Messiah who will rule politically from Jerusalem. His reign will fulfill God's promise to them and bring peace to the world. But they were mistaken because he is the Messiah not just what they were expecting. This he clarified to his disciples.

God had warned Israel already they failed to heed his warning he said
Jeremiah 22
5 But if you will not hear these words, I swear by Myself, says the Lord, that this house will become a desolation.
6 For thus says the Lord concerning the house of the king of Judah: [If you will not listen to Me, though] you are [as valuable] to Me as [the fat pastures of] Gilead [east of the Jordan] or as the [plentiful] summit of Lebanon [west of the Jordan], yet surely I will make you a wilderness and uninhabited cities.
7 And I will prepare, solemnly set apart, and appoint [to execute My judgments against you] destroyers, each with his weapons, and they will cut down your [palaces built of] choicest cedars and cast them into the fire.
8 And many nations will pass by this city, and every man will say to his neighbor, Why has the Lord done this to this great city?
9 Then they will answer, Because [the people] forsook the covenant or solemn pledge with the Lord their God and worshiped other gods and served them.
[b]First and foremost, I am using the case of Jesus because of the spectacular circumstances surrounding his existence in both Quranic and Biblical narrations. Also according to Islam, he was the penultimate Prophet according to Islam. You can say second in command.

According to the Quran:

1. Jesus was the child of a virgin, Maryam. She didn't have sex to conceive him. Miraculous Birth

2. Maryam, Jesus mom is the only woman with a chapter of the Quran named after her

3. Jesus performed Miracles from as early as childhood, he cured people of illness, he even resurrected a dead bird ( gave life )

4. Jesus wasn't crucified or murdered, he was ascended to heaven alive by God when the Jews sought to kill him.

5. Jesus will return to earth to fight the Dajjal/Anti-Christ.

An uninformed person will think, " Wow, for this guy to possess all these divine powers and features he must be a God or at least the protagonist of the story. right..?? ".

Rather... No, the preferential Prophet of God most superior in the Muslim Faith is Muhammad !! of normal/natural birth by a non-virgin mother. Muhammad could neither perform miracles nor heal the sick. He was rather skilled in taking life instead. He died of food poisoning by a Jewess prisoner and no magnificent return is promised about him. His story ends.

How can you now tell me the second guy is the true one sent from God, meanwhile the first one seems eerily close to being a God, given that no one was as special as Jesus in the Quran[/b]

Islam › How Can Muslims Balance These Narratives by chigator2(op):
I have been wanting to ask.

Why would an all-knowing God ordain the role of the Prophet of the last true religion, the religion of "Peace" to a character surrounded by controversies, a highway raider, and a political warlord in the person of Muhammad?

Even in the Quran, the narration of Jesus' life epitomizes a simple one of peace with God and with Mankind. On the other hand, Muhammad lived a relatively violent life ( lived on the sword ), warring with neighbors ( in the once tranquil region of Arabia ), raiding and looting innocent merchants of their possessions on trade highways. Even Death didn't deal peaceably with Muhammad, he died painfully of acute poisoning quite unlike Isa/Jesus whom God ascended to heaven alive and will still make a return to Earth ( from Quran).

After the Death of Muhammad, the next battle for the first generation Muslims wasn't one of spiritual connotation rather it was a physical one. Worst off, it was amongst themselves over the succession of the caliphate which lead up to the Shia-Sunni split. Something unheard of from the first Christians in the Bible which were recorded to live in piety and charity even under intense Roman persecution. Safe to say the followers of Jesus and Muhammad were duly taught in the doctrines of their masters.

How then can Muslims balance these conflicting narratives?

[s][/s] "Muslims are terrible", they claim. "Muslims are terrorists" But I bet you, if you click the reaction to any bad symphatetic news report online, you will not find one Muslim reacting with a laughing emoji.
They are happy that terrorism and killings are taking place in the country they are happy that police officers are killed. They always showcase their attitudes of lack of manners and home training. These same people will on the next trend claim Islam is a religion of violence and Muslims are violent.
The ideology of hate and bigotry in the South East is there mostly because Christian leaders in the country encouraged it with their anti-North and anti-Muslim sermons and conspiracy theories.
If this post offends you, I am sorry that is not my intention. If you are still angry after the apology, then I can not help you.
You obviously seem deranged, how did your admonition to Muslims suddenly degenerate to attacking South-Easterners. This is proof that your hate for Igbos has clouded your reasoning enough to contradict yourself in less than an hour.

I know it pleases you to see violence attributed to typical peaceful people like Igbos but I want to assure you, we are not and will never be terrorists. We won't share in the plague that inflicts your faith. Research shows that a whopping 80% of post - WW2 terror incidents in Europe were perpetrated by people of the Muslim faith. 90% in Africa. I don't know what that points to maybe you can help us.
