@ OP...taking your history from.Wikipedia is where you got it wrong..Anybody even a drunk can write history as it suit him and put it in Wikipedia..

If you are basing your argument on what you read from wikipedia..then I'm sorry for you...my advice to you is go back and do proper search on history as regard Jerusalem and all her wars...
Peace..!!!

You can't write falsehood on Wikipedia to last more than 24hrs. Especially not something that favors Muslims against Zionists claim of Isreal.
Every assertion was backed up by a credible reference.
Anyway, you can point out whatever is incorrect up there so we can agree. Otherwise everything up there stands as the correct version.

true2god:
Mr Arab slave master, the race that started the wholesale conquest of other races are the Arabs under the Islamic khalifah. This is a well documented historical facts. The khalifa, after the death of Mohammed, took genocide and plundering to the next level, all sanctioned by allahh in the Qur'an and the hadith. The entire north Africa were not Arabs, but were conquered by the Arabs, and today Arabs remain their masters. Syrians, Persians and Sudanese are not Arabs but today they have technically been arabized as a result of years of war and enslavement.

Hitler is a learner when compared to Muslim Arab invaders. Hitler was defeated but the khalifas won most of their plundering wars. Ask the Spaniards how Spain was when the moors ruled Spain. How did the Islamic moors conquered Spain? This is my second semester test for you in my course HIST 313.

Do your research well so that you don't come here disgrace yourself.

I'd love to engage you if only you could focus on one topic. If possible enumerate my points you want a prove for.
The Hadith you quoted, talking about Jizya and ganima, you fail to further research how much and whose property are allowed to be collected.
In summary the Jizya in the first conquest for Jerusalem for instance was far lower than what the Bazantyne Empire used to charge the occupants of the city before falling to the hands of Muslims. The Jizya is instantly canceled on whoever converted to Islam.
The ganima (war booty) is never to be collected from civilians. Only those that actively fought against the Muslims usually killed on the Battle field or captured are considered war booty. This is why in this particular conquest of Jerusalem (which represents a Model of how Muslims shall conduct themselves when confronting non-Muslims), Nowhere did you se mention of GANIMA (war booty) because the occupants surrendered peacefully.
Repeating the rest of your baseless lies doesn't change the facts. These are disciplined Muslim faithfuls driven by the strong will to serve their Lord, not some barbaric criminals motivated by lust for wealth and blood known as the Crusaders.

For some reasons unknown to me, Nigerians are no longer paying attention to things that matter about the way they are being ruled. They no longer pay attention to some of the things their rulers say. Otherwise, a strange item in President Muhammadu Buhari’s New Year Day speech should have brought millions of Nigerians to the streets in angry protests. When first I listened to the President making that speech I could not believe my ears. So I had to wait until the mainstream media published the full text of the speech, and there it was in cold print: “Negotiations are also advanced for the construction of other railway lines, firstly from Kano to Maradi in Niger Republic passing through Kazaure, Daura, Katsina, Jibia to Maradi”. Maradi is the third largest city in Niger Republic with a predominant Hausa/Fulani population. It is about an hour’s drive through a bumpy road from Jibia, the border town near Buhari’s hometown, Daura, in Katsina State. When I went to cover the 2007 presidential election in which Buhari ran on the All Nigerian People’s Party, ANPP, in 2007 and the late President Umaru Yar’ Adua of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, I had joined a team of journalists that went to Daura to visit Buhari for an interview. We also monitored the election in Jibia, which is a border town with Niger. I realised how easy it was for people from the two countries to cross the rickety border post manned by a man dressed virtually in rags. He only smiled when we decided to set foot on Niger Republic soil. Indeed, it may interest Nigerians to know that Daura Emirate stretches deep into Maradi and Zinder Departments in Niger Republic. During the 2015 election, there were reports of thousands of people from Niger Republic crossing the porous borders to vote in an election that was none of the business of their country. In the far North Nigerian electoral officials hardly ask questions about the eligibility of voters. That is why you see millions of under-aged voters voting, and at the end the polls are declared “free and fair”. Once Buhari achieved his life’s ambition of matching Olusegun Obasanjo’s feat as a former military ruler who became an elected President of Nigeria, his visit to Niger Republic became the first of the 22 foreign trips he made within 11 months before he was slowed down by ill-health. He was received by the President and people of Niger like a triumphant son back from the battlefield. Niger Republic President, Mahamadou Issoufou, gave him a white horse and a golden sword. In fact, Issoufou, in 2016, emblazoned Buhari’s photograph beside his own on vehicles during political campaigns. I went into all this to let you know that the planned new Nigerian railway network from Kano through Daura and Jibia to Maradi in Niger Republic is a selfish project that has nothing to do with other Nigerians like you and me. Even though a president’s oath of office indicates: “….that I will not allow my personal interest to influence my official conducts or my official decisions…”, Nigerian presidents and governors brazenly disregard their oaths of office and oaths of allegiance and divert the state’s or nation’s resources to their pockets, and after that, to massively develop the infrastructures of their hometowns no matter how remote such places are. For me, if Buhari had merely sought to connect his hometown, Daura, and even Jibia to the new national railway network, I would not have minded it too much, though it violates the principle of economic viability and bankability, which the largely borrowed funds will emphasise in order that we repay the debts in good time. The same logic that led the British colonialists to pass the Eastern rail line through Eha Amufu in today’s Enugu State and terminate it at Nguru in today’s Yobe State and pass the Western line through Kaura Namoda in today’s Zamfara State can also be adduced to extend the new rail network through Daura to Jibia, even if a president did not hail from there. The offensive aspect is extending the railway 55 kilometres into a foreign land just because the President considers the region as part of his hometown. When the Minister of Transport, Mr Rotimi Amaechi, was called upon by critics of this unviable extension of our railway to defend it, his response was vacuous and of very little use as a justification. By the way, the proposed new rail addition from Kano through Kazaure, Daura and Jibia to Maradi covers a whopping distance of 806 kilometres, which is more than the distance from Lagos to Abuja (779km) and Lagos to Calabar (770km). It is important for Nigerians to know the scale of the rail line and the amount of borrowed and oil money we are going to dump on this aspect of the project just to gratify the personal whims of the President. Hear the Minister: “We realised that we had competitors for our landlocked neighbours, competitors like Ghana, Togo and even Benin Republic. Our landlocked neighbours are importing through these countries because we don’t have rail lines that go to them. So, to address the situation Mr President approved a rail line that will go to Maradi in Niger. But that rail line which will come from Kano to Maradi in Niger must pass through some cities. So the rail line passes through Kazaure, and then Daura before proceeding to Jibia and then Maradi”. The questions the President and the Minister should answer are: Did “our competitors” like Ghana, Togo and Benin Republic build rail lines into Burkina Faso, Niger and Mali and thus stole the “competition” from Nigeria? The answer, obviously, is no. Secondly, why don’t we also extend the favour to Chad and Burkina Faso if indeed we need their patronage? Thirdly, what “competition” is Amaechi referring to? How much do Ghana, Togo and Benin Republic make from imports that our landlocked neighbours route through their countries that makes it enviable which Nigeria should scramble to snatch? It would be a different ball game if Nigeria and Niger Republic signed a memorandum of understanding to share the cost of the rail line, each country taking the financial responsibility to build the lines that run through their respective territorial jurisdictions. One thing Nigerians must never forget is that we are borrowing heavily from China, Europe and the Breton-Wood institutions to build our standard gauge railway network. Repayment for the loans which outlay is not available to me at this moment will span decades. Most of us will be gone from the surface of the earth while the repayment will devolve to our children and possibly their children. This is why we must never keep silent when the ruling party and leaders so brazenly violate the nation’s interests and abuse their offices by throwing projects from these loans into unviable remote hamlets, including hamlets in a foreign country that happens to be a part of their hometown. I am very sure that our National Assembly, especially the very responsive Senate, will thoroughly examine this railway plan and its funding and protect the interests of all Nigerians, including those of their future generations. Sanitising the implementation of this railway plan will be a prime opportunity to prove that this country belongs to all of us. Nobody, no matter how highly placed, will be allowed to take what belongs to all of us for himself and his kinsmen alone. We are in a democracy, not a military autocracy. Even if we must accommodate Daura and Jibia to make Buhari happy, the rail line must NEVER be extended an inch into a foreign soil

I have to quote the whole loooong epistle to draw your attention to the fact that you wrote it just because of a 55km rail line.

Pussyisfood:
Lol. I was born in a town close to zaria. The only language I knew how to speak was hausa until 2001 when i moved to Jos, but today I speak fluent English. I've been speaking fluently since 2012. Although the American school I went through in Jos helped me a lot.

That's why you always emphasize the articulating the "r" in most of the words. But I believe that's entirely American pronunciation. In British pronunciations the rs are almost always silent.
I know the correct pronunciations of almost all those words up there, thanks to my hobby in watching foreign movies and rap songs.
Excellent thread though. Kudos!

Lol! Someone said that showed how confused their people have gotten.
Well, At least we can all agree that Jesus never looked like that in the first place.

JesusPeople:
its funny that, there are many mosques in Jerusalem which is a Christian state, while on the other hand, for the sake of peace, Muslims won't give Christians a small site to build a Church, all in the name of peace.

Where is the peace when you don't respect my believe but you are ready to kill me if I challenge your believes.

Who told you Jerusalem is a Christian state? Did you know there are 7 times more Muslims than Christians in the city?
Every country has its own rules, some countries ban use of Hijab, others do not recognize polygamy. And so on. If you can't obey there rules, don't go there.

deenee:
You sound biased and a lot of what you talk about is false.

First and foremost go and read about anti trust and competition law.

Secondly dangote just like other contemporaries have a level playing field. He has decided to do back ward integration and invest in Nigeria hence he is reaping the benefits.

I remember very well that Obj gave him Ibeto and two other investors dual license to import and manufacture cement. While dangote focused on building his cement factories and importing, IBETO in particular concentrated fully on importation because there was quick money to be made there. Now that he has factories all over the place and controls the cement market people are shouting monopoly.


Ifeanyi UBA, the guy that owns Matrix energy, Arthur Eze, Pan Ocean and even some states in the ND region have licenses to build refineries......Nobody is doing anything they are just paying lip service signing agreement up and down. This man is the only one that is taking both business and financial risk to construct the largest refinery in africa.


His investment can go both ways and either make him a lot of money or lose him money in the process. Most believe he will make money as the market for refined petrol products in Africa is still very untapped.

Once the refinery is done and the man becomes a major player in this sector...people will start shouting monopoly monopoly.

Nigeria is the only country where people don't work they want to eat.

For your record Dangote is soley responsible for indomie setting up a factory in nigeria because they saw him as a threat and in the process creating jobs for people. Prior to then all the indomie sold in nigeria was either manufactured in ghana or imported from Singapore and for your information he has sold dangote noodles to the makers of indomie.


God bless dangote God bless nigeria!

And yes....his investors are smiling to the bank!

God bless you too! I was expecting someone to reply him, and you did justice to it. The sad thing is that like critics of PMB, they are mostly motivated by resentment and sentiments instead of genuine issues.
There are things to blame Dangote for like making too much profit off people. But being the largest player due to a perceived unfair advantage isn't true.
The guy mentioned BuA And Lafarge, I don't know what he meant but these two are really giving Dangote cement a tough competition. Lafarge owns UniCem and Ashaka, while BUA owns Sokoto Cement and Edo Cement Co.

Am I the only one to notice the error, Taj Mahal is an exceptional masterpiece but it isn't among the official 7 Seven wonders of the world. In fact the remaining one of the 7 is the pyramid of Giza.

Ironically it's the non-Muslims that beat their wives more. The forbidden face especially.

Hypocrites! why not just refuse to vote him at the polls instead of calling him to relinquish his constitutional right?
Ya'all never made this same calls when GEJ decided to reconnect in clear violation of a gentleman agreement he voluntarily signed.

Download text to speech app. That's what I use to get through these long articles. If you have android device use @voicealoud. If you use Apple try natural reader. There's also an app for Windows 10.

Thanks appreciated.

Interesting, I only read halfway though.

skumy:
why would they lay siege in another man's territory in d first instance if not to claim their land are you telling me you are justified to come and lock me inside my house for months without food and u think i ll survive..surely i ll surrender d house for my family's sake with d hope that one day my children's children guided by history and are powerful enough will claim back their lost house at the right time

You got it wrong! They weren't there to claim your land, thru were only there to evangelize the message of Islam. If you like you accept otherwise you don't.
In the beginning Caliphs even forbid the conquering zamu slim forces from acquiring land, it was during Caliph Uthman that the Muslims were allowed to purchase land and property from the locals.
So your analogy is wrong.

...Our quest for the total and adulterated liberation of Biafraland is unstoppable....

Chai! see the people trying to educate others!

Sai Mai Rusau! Our future President. In Sha Allah.

Good development. Crime will never stop until the perpetrators are always held accountable.

The easiest way Shaytan would make a believer to nullify his/her believe by Shirkh is to compromise the believe with a form of idolatry. He'd make it appear as a form of worship like the Christians with the Cross and statues of revered holy people like Mary, Jesus, David, Angels or even God himself (WA iyaazu billah).
Allah did us a great favor by making the Prophets immediate family (as well as any material relic) extinct within a short time so that no one could genuinely claim to be his descendant.
Imagine how ignorant people today would treat a great grandson of the prophet. They'd literally worship him.
May Allah guide us aright. Ameen.

Pierohandsome:
every of ur submission as regards the first siege are twisted facts , common sense will tell anyone that nobody takes over a territory of another without the use of force and blood shed not evn the colonial masters. The illustration of present day happenings in north east is a pointer to and fact ,nothing like campaign of calumnly.
Dispute the fact , this is what is happening presently. Maybe in another century, the facts wil also be distorted and telling our great grand children that boko haram, isis, talibans etc were establishing caliphates peacefully.

Evn at that, Jerusalem never belonged to muslims but the Isrealis. Argue it frm here til tommorw that is a fact

Bros you are not the type I wanted to engage here, no offense. You defend your arguments entirely based on sentiments and your belief in repeated propaganda. Didn't you read they Muslim army decided to wait for months outside the city gate instead of launching an attack?
W rare talking about siege of Jerusalem you are talking of Boko Haram, focus on the subject.
Since I have a twisted version from Wikipedia why not give us the unbiased version from another source. After all it was an invent involving the three major religions.

tartar9:
Just keep desecrating history with your lies.
Oga do you know when Jerusalem was conquered by the Muslims and when it was conquered by the crusaders with the centuries that lay between?
Do you think Jerusalem was a Jewish city or even had Jewish inhabitants upon the Muslim conquest?
Do you know what the Muslims did for the Jews when they conquered Jerusalem as compared to what the crusaders did to the Jews when they conquered the city?
Do you say that the crusaders willfully left Jerusalem?

In short,are you people possessed by a lying spirit or what?

Don't mind these ignorant folks down here. See how confidently he keeps dishing out lies shamelessly.

Pierohandsome:
u are the one spreading lies. Go back to history and tell me any nation whr islam is that was invaded peacefully? Tel that to children. How did the muslims take over Jerusalem without killing, is it possible to take over another man's territory without over powering the occupants? [s]The same thing boko haram is doing in north east today jst to establish a caliphate is same thing muslims have been doing since the birth of islam.[/s] Tell me any nation muslims invaded peacefully? Islam is a violent religion that dnt understand the meaning of peace, That was how North and some states in West was invaded by Usman danfodio but couldnt conquer East and South ,that is why those regions remain Christians.

51 years ago, Turkey was a christian nation, but today they are 99.9 Muslims after killing the whole christians.

So hw did they took over Jerusalem peacefully? U are talking to children abi? U think if Isreal can be conquered they wouldnt have started invading them again, they knw who is who and that is why they hired u to distort fact to win simpathy. That is the worst they can do-shout.

Let the whole Muslim nation cough near that territory, and see what Isreal wil do to u guys

The your answer of the bolded in the OP.
Repeating this age long campaign of columny against Muslims will not hold water. I just gave you an account of Muslim conquest of Jerusalem which was clearly bloodless and you are here repeating baseless lies.
OK can you give us a contrary account of that first siege with your sources other than your biased and false opinion?
We are talking Muslim o not barbaric Crusaders nor Roman/Bazantyne/Saasanid empires.
Lalasticlala seun may we have fp audience may be we could have enlightened opinions.

Pierohandsome:
there was no historical fact that the land in which Palestines occupied in Jerusalem was bought, those land were forcefully taken over by them, even the history u posted depicted that fact. Jews were killed in hundreds, siege laid on Jerusalem and hijacked the place Centuries ago. Isrealites were displaced frm their land by this maurading and radical islamists reduced a whole nation of Isreal into a non existent entity until a small portion was later aportioned to them again as a nation by United Nations in 1948.

Now the fowl has come home to roost, they stood like gallant men and fought the whole Arab nations and finished them in 6 days, now they harnessed their stregnth and annexed their boundary and recovered all that the arabs stole frm them and the whole world now started protesting. Whn the whole arab nation invaded that small Isreali nation, why didnt the UN condemn it and sanction the intruders? If Isreal didnt rise to finish off all of them , Isreal as a people and nation would have been wiped off and their entire land possessed and nobody wil say anything.
As of 70 -80 years ago, the Jews were left with only 650 people. Who killed the rest of them? The Arab nations!
Now that the parole changed gear, everybody is shouting. Isreal had been Long oppressed until now b4 nw.
They can cry all they want, Isreal is ready for the so-called religion of peace but oppressive in Nature, that was the same thing they did in Turkey ,killed the whole christian and overtook the whole nation and turned it to an islamic caliphate today.
Jerusalem today is Isreali capital ,and nothing can reverse it

Repeating a lie hundred times doesn't make it truth.
Show where and when Muslims attacked Jerusalem and killed one person! In fact except for creation of Israel by UN, Muslim arrival in Jerusalem is the best thing that ever happened to the Jews!
A passage is there above where the caliph declined to patsy in a church because he didn't want Muslims to want to forcefully convert it to a Mosque.
So in your argument now native Americans/red Indians have the right to start annexing lands now owned by white Americans?

hello npowerng, the complaint I laid to you has even partially attended to. The participant received a one month payment (December). he's looking forward to receiving areas of the backlog payment spanning 11 months.
Please let me know how you can assist speed the payment up.
Thanks and happy new year.

judecares1:
OF WAT USE IS THE MONEY TO HIM,JUST IMAGINE THE WAY HE WAS BURIED

What good is money to a cold corpse?

Pierohandsome:
if u take over my land and treat me well, that does not in anyway nullify the fact that the place belonged to me and u overtook it frm me.

As for if they Have receipt, do the muslims too have receipt that it is their land? This is a game of power, if u have receipt of what u robbed frm me, if i have power to take it back i wil take it back and that is what Isreal did

That is it go through history, nowhere did the Arabs ever robbed people of their lands. They bought and paid for everything and they also have receipts.
So you can't come back to demand for something your forefathers willingly sold.

plainbibletruth:
Historically did the Palestinians ever have a nation under which they ruled themselves as a national entity or are talking about Arab settlers who are now in recent times desiring a place of their own?

How is this question relevant?

[s]

yanshDoctor:
when the Muslims were attacking the Arab tribe, Rome didn't do anything and was not interested in the Arabs.

it was when they attack Jerusalem, they killed the Jews on sabbath day. the Rome set up the crusader to retook Jerusalem back because they saw it as the holy city and embarrassing in the hands of Muslims. when the crusader retook the town they where not interested to stay there and only stay for few time before they left.

by that time the Jews were scattered allover Europe many was not interested to go back for fear of their life's. the land because deserted before the philistine settled there. when they were crisis in Europe the UK brought Jews back to Israel.

[/s]
Upon say I wasted time to copy the above, you still wouldn't read.
The siege is clearly explained to be bloodless yet you are claiming they killed Jews.
In the Aftermath of each Muslim take over of the city both Christians and Jews always troop back to the city to enjoy religious freedom and liberty under Muslim rule. Especially after th destruction by the crusaders.

Pierohandsome:
it can be claimed if there is a boundary proximity. If i choose not to claim my property lost years ago it is my choice, if i stil choose to claim it is my right

Do you have a receipt? Most of the lands were voluntarily sold, and others simply converted other religions thereby making them appear non Jewish.
By the way the most important claim the Zionists have to the land is the birth certificate issued to Israel in 1946. But they violate the conditions of the resolutions serially, blatantly and arrogantly. Instead they kill civilians at will, and have been illegally occupying lands outside what was given to them.
If there is any justice in the world this shouldn't be allowed nor tolerated.
Anyway the aim of this thread is to highlight the civilized and just manner Muslims treated people of the city when they had the upper hand even as far back as the 7th century.

Even UN 1946 that literally created Israel that Jerusalem should belong to neither Israel nor the Arabs.
Check out land grabbing scale of Israel over the decades.

Pierohandsome:
So how does Jerusalem belong to the muslims? Jerusalem belonged to the Jews which muslims besieged and took over the city frm the original owners and now ,the owners collected it back and announced the place their capital and they started shouting that it belongs to them.

Una no serious

Oga if you know how history works you should know that you cant claim something lost for centuries. If that's the rule even Jews don't own Jerusalem. And besides Muslims never claimed the sole ownership of the city even as far back as when they took the city for the first time.
The white Americans arrived there less than 600 years ago, how ridiculous do you think it'd sound if the native Americans now try to claim their ancestral sites that have now being converted to night clubs and Walmart?
