Islam for Muslims / Re: The Last Sermon Of Rasullulah (may Allah Have Mercy Upon Him) by diarra94(m): 12:05pm On Jun 22, 2013
aasog1: All mankind is from Adam and Eve. An Arab has no superiority over a non-Arab, nor does a non-Arab have any superiority over an Arab; white has no superiority over black, nor does a black have any superiority over white; [none have superiority over another]...

I wish Jesus or the Bible said something this wonderful....Or the Moslems themselves follow these words. It is indeed sad that the so-called religious people (Africans, Asians and Arabs) are the world greatest racists; and the world most nonreligious nations (US, UK, Europe, etc) have long seem the pains and ruins of racism and tribalism and kicked against it. I will live by these message despite been a core-Day-Star member...I wish others could as well.
why mention jesus or the bible.....got a problem with that. for your info brainwashed fool jesus is in your koran.... go and read before you kill pple.

That is what you deserve for deliberately ignoring the UAE, Qatar, Malaysia, Saudi Arabia, Indonesia, Turkey, Morocco etc as countries that are doing great under Islam.

You sought to misrepresent Islam and got misrepresented as a result.

Sports / Lebron James Leads Miami Heats To Second Straight Nba Championship. by diarra94(m): 5:59am On Jun 21, 2013
MIAMI – Not one, not two… A little more than two years ago, LeBron James stood on that stage here, the smoke swirling about him and made one of the most audacious declarations the NBA had ever heard. He had just joined with Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh to form the most star-powered triumvirate in the league, and now he was promising the Miami Heat fistfuls of titles.

Not one, not two, not three, not four, not five, not six, not seven…

James crowed, and he was mocked fast and hard for the boast, for the spectacle of a welcome party the Heat had thrown for him, for his narcissistic "I'm-taking-my-talents-to-South-Beach" cable TV special. He hadn't won anything yet, of course. He just acted like he had, arriving here full of pompousness and entitlement, well on his way to becoming one of the sporting world's great villains.

Somewhere in all that braggadocio, James' point was clear. He hadn't left his home state of Ohio to come to Miami to win a championship. He was here to build a dynasty, to construct his own legacy as one of the greatest to ever play.

There's no doubting his championship mettle now. Not after Thursday night. Not after an epic NBA Finals Game 7 performance that included 37 points, 12 rebounds, five 3-pointers and the decisive jump shot that finally helped finish off a 95-88 victory, that finally finished off the San Antonio Spurs. James has his second championship and Finals MVP trophy in as many years, and he won this ring in one of the tensest Finals ever.

Shane Battier made six 3-pointers, the most ever in a Finals Game 7, and Wade scored 23 points, but this victory – this championship – was won on James' dominance.

"Whatever everybody say about me off the court don't matter," James said in the din of the championship celebration. "I got no worries."

James had been swept by this same trio of Spurs' stars – Tim Duncan, Tony Parker and Manu Ginobili –during his first trip to the Finals in 2007. He was with the Cleveland Cavaliers then, and on the eve of these Finals, he said there was no comparison to the present. He proclaimed himself a much better player than he was in '07 – or even '11 when his passive performance in the Finals allowed the Dallas Mavericks to beat the Heat.

He's set out to prove himself ever since, and he's right: He is a much improved player, more immune to the pressure of the moment. Among the other areas in which James is better: He can shoot.

The Spurs dared James to shoot over them for the duration of the series, crowding the lane with another defender when he tried to drive, backing off him when he was isolated. By the second quarter of Game 7, he'd never looked more sure. The Spurs kept backing off him, and he kept firing, making five 3-pointers and that critical jumper in the closing seconds.

Wade has played understudy to James for parts of this season. There's no bigger stage in the sport, and Wade cleared himself some room to share it with James. He had limped out of Game 6 after injuring his left knee only to return with more life – and lift – in his legs than anyone else. He scored 14 points in the first half, content to bury the midrange jump shots the Spurs conceded him, helping buy James some time to find his own shot.

After six games, the Spurs and Heat had played themselves to exhaustion. Miami's thrilling overtime victory in Game 6 had drained both teams, and the enormity of Game 7 seemed to leave everyone's nerves in a jumble. The play was ragged, and neither team could find much rhythm until Battier made three 3-pointers in a short stretch bridging the first two quarters.

The Spurs, as they have for so many of these past 16 years, continued to hang around, hang around, hang around. The Heat outplayed them for stretches of the first half, yet the Spurs walked into the locker room down just two points.

There had been little separation between the teams from game to game, and when Game 7 arrived, there was little distance between them from minute to minute. When Mario Chalmers banked in a pull-up 30-foot 3-pointer at the third-quarter buzzer, it gave Miami a 72-71 advantage.

The Heat would eventually push their lead to six, but the Spurs didn't crumble. After Battier made his sixth 3-pointer to send the home crowd into a roar, Duncan quickly quieted the arena by answering with a three-point play. Kawhi Leonard's 3-pointer brought the Spurs within two, and Chalmers followed by missing a pair of free throws.

Leonard had a chance to put the Spurs ahead, but missed a 3-pointer. Wade missed a jump shot, James grabbed the rebound, and Battier followed with a missed 3-pointer. That gave the Spurs another chance to tie. Duncan curled into the lane and missed his hook shot. His follow tip attempt also came up just short. As the Heat called timeout with 39 seconds left, Duncan leaned over and slapped the court in frustration.

The Spurs won't sleep easy, if at all. At 37 years old, Duncan was playing for his fifth – and perhaps final – title. It seemed well within his grasp when the Spurs took a five-point lead into the final 30 seconds of Game 6. In the end, they will remember this series for missed opportunities: missed free throws, missed rebounds, Duncan's misses at the end of Game 7.

"We've never been in a tougher series," Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said.

The difference in these Finals came down to James, who wouldn't let this championship slip from his grasp. Clinging to a two-point lead, their season on the brink, they walked out of that timeout and gave the ball to James. He dribbled right, stopped, gathered himself and raised up for one of the biggest shots of his career. The arc of the shot's flight was pure, and as the ball settled into the net with 27.9 seconds left, the Heat had everything they needed for their second straight title and the franchise's third overall.

Not one, not two, not three, not four, not five, not six, not seven…

Yes, eight titles is a stretch, but who knows? At 28 years old, James still has so much within his reach.

biafranqueen: I am so sickened and heart broken that so called Christians can sit here and make such comments when a women was attacked and loss her baby! Luke 10:25-37 The parable of the good Samaritan does that scripture sound like these heinous remarks you NL Christians are making...The one who loves God should be loving his brother also (1John 4:20,21) They publicly declare they know God, but they disown him by their work-Titus 1:16 ....Just because Priest molest children does that mean every catholic condones molestation of children?

I loss family during Biafra but my Auntie husband and cousin was saved by a Muslim family.

This is very shameful people brought up as Christians have committed crimes every where in the world some even kill wives, pour acid and commit other atrocities. This women had a head scarf on which Africans wear as Christians too..Most Muslims are against the Boko boys and have even aided the military in filtering them out. Stop this HATE and division you are only killing yourself!

Lame arguments. I am sure you would have no qualms pontificating on the "ailments" of Muslims if the thread title was: "Islamists attack woman in Paris."
so that is your reason. god you are so fanatic, you always emphasize that islam preaches peace and tolerance but yet you dont care if xtains are called kaffir. look at the kind of speed with which u put this story on fp, the lady was not even killed but injured. have u ever felt the same for thousands of xtains killed right here in our country. the advent of islam has reduced humans to animals. may god help us see the light.

Politics / Nigeria Drops Charges Against Russian Arms Suspects by diarra94(m): 3:37pm On Jun 19, 2013



LAGOS (Reuters) - Nigerian authorities dropped charges on Tuesday against eight Russian sailors suspected of trafficking arms, their lawyer said, but another seven will face trial.

The 15 Russian sailors were charged with illegally bringing weapons into Nigeria last year, after Nigerian authorities intercepted a ship on October 23, saying they had found several guns and thousands of rounds of ammunition.

The court case has raised tensions between Nigeria and Russia, whose Foreign Ministry has spoken out against the charges. Russian media have reported assurances from Nigeria that the sailors would be allowed to return home. Nigeria has not commented on this alleged promise.

Their defence lawyer Abubakar Onegbu told reporters outside the court that the charges had been dropped because they had not been on the ship when it was detained, but had arrived by air to carry out a crew change. The prosecuting counsel was not available for comment.

Justice James Soho adjourned the trial of the others until Friday. They are free on bail.

"In general we regard this development a positive step," Russian Foreign Ministry said in a statement on Tuesday evening. "We expect a similar decision to be taken (in regard to seven remaining sailors) at the upcoming court sitting."

Arms smuggling to and through Nigeria is rife. Demand for weapons is high because of an Islamist rebellion in the north, armed robbery and kidnapping by gangs in the south and oil theft and piracy in the southeast.

The country is also sometimes used as a conduit for shipping arms to other conflict-ridden parts of West Africa.

Celebrities / Kim & Kanye's Daughter Is Kaidence Donda West by diarra94(m): 9:25am On Jun 19, 2013
Kim Kardashian and Kanye West have reportedly named their daughter Kaidence Donda west.

It has been top secret classified information since Kim Kardashian gave birth last week - but it appears some silly sod has spilled the beans.

A nurse at the fancy Los Angeles' Cedars Sinai hospital let slip Kim and Kanye West's daughter's name, according to reports.

And in klassic fashion, it's claimed Baby Kimye will be called Kaidence. Which is something we can imagine Tulisa would call a pet poodle.

The suggested name also rules out the hilarious possibility of calling the adorable tot North, which would go brilliantly with her rapper papa's surname.

But don't go and send the new mummy and daddy personalised baby-grows just yet.

A family insider hinted that Kim and Kanye would call the newborn Kai Georgia Donda West.

The sentimental choice would include the name of Kanye’s late mum, Dr Donda West, and a female version of Kim's late dad Robert middle name George.

However, unconfirmed reports from America now suggest Kaidence Donda West is the full name Kimye have chosen.
