Abdulbasit9:Doesn't antigen has some benefits to talk about. Why is your focus only on negative aspect?. There is always positive and negative, advantages and disadvantages. Both are necessarily needed to work together to put your body in check. Antigen also prevents disease or sickness. . NB: I converted to Islam late 2014. I've learnt a lot about Islam from this section but I am beggining to have second thoughts.second thought because of antigen?. You sure there was sincerity in your heart to begin with?. Medical practioners are recommended to get vaccine especially in the winter. Many reject flu shot despite many benefits taught by founder (s), Jonas Salk. I personally reject flu shot every year because I believe it doesn't do me any good. Some people still get sick after taken flu shot vaccine. But if you take medical course they tell you vaccine prevents diseases 100% of the time. While benefits are derived from the flu vaccine for instance, antigen also produces substance that prevents sickness. |
Alhajiemeritus:Sura 60 vs 1 Unless it is strategy to unveil their plots. Other than that, they are zalimun. Sheikh Sazili(ra) rebuked them saying; "Eyin te feyin ti alawo, awón naa lo ma wo yin mole ooo" Most likely these types of Alfas are the ones giving alawo secrets of Muslims that lead to their kidnap and murder.

This Is In Dubai. Zoom To See The Name Of This Mosque ![]()

emekaRaj:you sensed that. |
true2god:at least you recognized evil of LGBT unlike a clown, who in the name of modernism claimed Quran doesn't prescribe punishment for homosexual. So?. Quran says it is evil and destructive way of life. Therefore punishment is preserved with Amir of the muslims. Op doesn't understand this. On the CNN guy that lost his job last year (or last 2 yes), he didn't lose his job because of his antisemitic rhetoric but because he went to the UN general assembly, in the presence of world leaders, to make his antisemitic remarks. If he had confined it to the CNN studio nothing will happen. I have heard many antisemitic rhetorics from Van Jones and Wolf Blitzer, and many of their so-called political commentators, @CNN without any consequence.Lol, you don't know how to lie. What difference does it make whether his speech was made before UN or CNN?. Isn't UN champion of free speech?. E ma tan ra yin je On the Saudi Imam cursing the Jews and the Christians at the prophet's mosque in Medina, there is no justification for that. That prayer is an act of incitement for the extremist to act and mind you he included the Shi'a among the people Allah should annihilate, are the Shi'a also invading Muslim lands? Don't patronize bad behavior in order to protect your religion. I am not denying the fact that western policies in the developing world is bad, but justifying a political 'prayer' in the mosque is not good.sorry bro. The only thing I'm condemning is for cursing Shia. Although I have not watched the footage but from your descriptions I can understand. You Jews and Christians have committed attrocities in the Muslim lands. And I understood from imam context that he's cursing Jews and Christian involved the the act of violence and warmongering. And I cited Jerry Lawler who is burning in hell currently. Jews and CHRISTIANS who condemned their terrible acts are not included. Simple, isn't?. Example if that are those rabbis who constantly rebuke Jewish state in New York. Another example was Rachel Corry, a young Jewish American killed by Israeli bulldozer in 2003 while helping the Palestinians. Her parents still could not get justice till today. When Boko haram crisis was raging, the government of Borno decided to act by banning people form wearing burqa in public places for security reasons. Any responsible government will do anything within her power to protect the lives and properties of her citizens, including banning the burqa if need be, And again why must the government even seek advise from Muslims before doing the right thing (banning the burqa for now)? That's arrogance and insensitivity on the part of the Muslims against the victims and their families.why only burqa?. Why not ban backpacks? |
true2god:How does this refutes the fact that Jeannie was suspended because of her hijab comment?. Everything else you said is irrelevant. Ilham Omar was right. |
true2god:I need to respond this this quickly before I return for the rest because this caught my attention. Bro, you are misinformed or you deliberately distorted fact behind for her suspension. Yes, suspension not fired. The reason was not what you said here at all. Jeannie was suspended for her comment on Omar's hijab. You made this up
|
Apus:This happens in advanced countries a whole lot. There are people jailed for 30, 40yrs for crime they did not commit. The right thing to do for him is HUGE COMPENSATION. Hating Nigeria because of this is your waste of time. |
true2god:since you already recognize evil of the so called "sex education" vilifying child marriage when it comes to Muslims is irrelevant. Recently in the UK, they enforced teaching children LGBT. Thank God you recognized this to be evil. If I didn't put pressure on you you would be adamant that child marriage only has to do with muslims. But now you digressed. On freedom of speech, of course there is a limit. If I speak against Zionism, deny the holocaust, speak against AIPAC, etc, I will be rebuked and 'corrected' but I won't be killed or jailed. I can even go to court to defend my right to the First Amendment, if I am in the US. However, in a sharia-compliant Muslim country, if I speak against Islam and her prophet, I will be killed or jailed. This is the differenceoh you missed where I said former cnn lost his job for his political statement on Israel which was deemed "anti-Semitism". Was he corrected?. No. He was rebuked. Was he allowed to defend himself in court below losing his job?. No. He was fired and excommunicated. You are still not getting it out you pretend. I don't want to say much in this but I would advise you to get more info bcuz i can't type here what they do to people who go against them. I'm just gonna direct you to watch recent American citizen who works for Iranian tv. Watch it on YouTube and hear what she had to say after her arrest and release. That's all I can tell you. You can say all you want that they don't kill. Just hope you are not victim. As for the congresswoman Ilan Omar, she is not a private citizen like you and I; she is a politician, a public citizen, who represents a district with a heterogeneous population and beliefs. Her utterances will be held with a high value unlike an ordinary citizen. A politician cannot be making provocative statements and expect people never to react. You need to understand that over 90% of Ilan Omar"s provocative statements were based on her values and religious convictions. In a country like the US, which view Muslims with suspicion, a Muslim politician "s statement will always be scrutinized. You cannot live in a country you hate so much. I have watched Ilan Omar attack the US policies, the Jews and the Christians. Imagine a christian politician in Egypt attacking the Egyptian policies and Islam, what do you think will happen?see, you are doing what former fox news lady did that got her fired. You are assuming ilan Omar's view was a result of her religion but you failed to see she's actually defending Constitution. Aipac and lobby are unconstitutional. And bear in mind that this is a woman who was born in a country bombed by USA. Remember Black Hawk black hawk down?. So this should tell you a lot. You raised another issue of Islam being misunderstood hence some Islamophobes like the evangelical Christians directing hate speeches against Islam. I have watched a video, and many 'evangelical' Christians would have also seen it, where an Imam at the prophet's mosque in Medina was literarily cursing the Jews and the Christians in his prayers while the congregation responded with:' AMIN, AMIN, AMIN...' If the Jews and the Christians can be so much vilified at a mosque that can be regarded as the 'holiest of holies' in the Muslim world, without any consequence, why blame the 'evangelical' Christians for their verbal assaults on Islam? You can't be creating an unhealthy environment and expect people to always give you roses. If you go up Northern Nigeria, it is a very normal thing to vilify the Christians in their mosques and until this technical incitement stops, we might not see the end of religious crisis there.I don't need to have to verify this. His prayer was in response to Jews and CHRISTIANS support and invasion of muslim lands, especially iraq. And their support for israeli occupation of Palestine. Don't pretend as if you don't know how evangelical Christians supported Bush. Remember Jerry Falwell, may his soul born in hell. He was pro war. He and fellow evangelists used that opportunity to invade Iraq with Bible to preach to Iraqis. He even said on national TV that their (muslims) God is evil. Our(CHRISTIANs) God is the truth. Go back and do research. Lot of Western CHRISTIANs flooded Iraq and distributed Bibles. Celebrated Christmases for yrs. What's the end now?. What did they achieve?. Nothing. Jerry died and his soul is in hell as we speak. He supported killings knowing that Iraq war was a lie about wmd. They specifically said that bush was God sent to preach gospel to Muslims. Yet you guys would say you are peaceful. On the Sri lanca attack, the level of condemnation we all see when 49 people were killed in the New Zealand mosque attack was not the same. Some politicians, especially among DNC, called it the 'Easter Worshippers Attack'. They don't want to call it attack against Christian worshippers because it will not suit their evil political agenda and political narratives. However when the first attack happened in New Zealand, they all went to their tweeter handle to condemn it as 'attack against the Muslim worshippers'. The people i am talking about are Hillary Clinton, Barrack Obama. Ilan Omar, Elizabeth Warren, etc. Can you see the double standard? Besides, almost all leaders around the globe condemned the NZ attack against Muslims but I have not seen any notable leader of either Saudi Arabia or Iran condemn the attack like they did when Muslims were killed in NZ.I still don't get why you guys have problems with Obama and Hillary's condolence messages. Were only Christians killed?. Muslims were killed too on that fateful day. Didn't you read that Saudi citizens were also victims?. I don't celebrate Easter and I don't condone muslims joining your celebration. So Easter is seen as 'universal' holiday even though it's affiliated with Christianity. So Muslims were killed in recent Sri Lanka terrorist attacks. It very unfortunate that you said Iran and Saudi Arabia didn't condemn or sent condolences. And, bro. In this age of INFORMATION?. Just say you don't know(SEE attached) You made a point that Muslims are being targeted because of the ban of burqa after the attack. This is a very insensitive statement. You seem to be more concerned with how government will react to prevent further attacks than the atrocity itselfseems you misunderstood or misquoted. I said they banned burqa which has nothing to do with bombing. How is banning burqa prevent further attack?. This makes sense to you, bro?. Matter if fact, a video was uploaded on FB yesterday showing one of the alleged bombers wearing "burqa". Upon unveiled him by police he turned out to be a buddist https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=2685260574823577&id=1984023931613915&anchor_composer=false And again you made another point which shocked me the most, that perhaps Sri Lanka was not perpetrated by muslins but was orchestrated by non-muslims to paint Islam bad. You will have to read the news again to in order to know the motives for the terrorist attack. This is also a highly coordinated attack with international network. No one can actually confirm or deny if it not a state- sponsored terror attack. No one is sure.news?. Which news?. This anti Islam media?. And why do you think I should believe them?. They have history of fabricating story. They have history of painting their enemies black. Few years ago during Nicholas Sakorzy reign, local Malians decided to take over their own resources in remote side. French quickly deployed army to secure their interest in the area. In order to successfully do that they had to paint the locals as islamic terrorists and media propagated that and that's what masses believed. They said terrorists wanted to take over oil field and govt but that was not the case. They labelled them Islamic terrorists just so they could get international support and get away with resources. Indeed their operation was successful. So these are the media houses you want me to believe?.

Reference:I will simply address your first paragraph which is, you failed to realize that Africa was NEVER decolonized. This is what you missed. "Independence" was only dust in our eyes. When they colonized and decided later to leave, they did not decolonized Africa. They made sure that they put in place a system that is subservient to them. Just to address points you raised later in other paragraph about violence, refusing Western education etc. You made no sense you know?. No offense at all. Why because when did bh start?. Is bh in all African continent?. You talked about they refused Western education. So all African countries, tribes and subtribes did that?. How about those who embraced Western education, are they any better?. You don't get it at all. Let me give you example. Few years ago in Mali when the locals tried to take over their own resources somewhere in remote side, French govt, I think under N. Sakozy quickly sent army Mali to secure the region (their interest) and blackmailed them as terrorists to gain international support and the media didn't help. The next thing was everyone believed media propaganda. They said terrorists wanted to take over Malian govt. So next time anytime media scream about terrorists do your own independent investigation. They lie. I'm not in any ways try to justify African leaders stupid actions. They are imposed on Africans. |
French President Emmanuel Macron said: "With a family that has seven, eight children in Africa, invest billions, nothing will change. (...) The challenge of Africa is civilizational. "The Guinean sociologist Amadou Douno, a professor at the Ahmadou-Dieng University of Conakry, answers him. "Africans do not need your debauchery civilization. Because with your civilization: a man can sleep with a man; a woman can sleep with a woman; a single president can have two mistresses at a time; a woman can sleep with her dog; a child can insult his father and mother without problem; a child can imprison his parents. " "With your civilization, when parents are getting older, they are taken to the retirement home, and finally, with your civilization, a young man can live with a woman who is his mother's age or his grandma without problem. Your case is a perfect illustration! Africans have no civilization lesson to receive from people like you! Africa is by far the richest continent in the world with its enormous mineral wealth. What is delaying this continent is the large-scale pillage of its resources by the great powers, France in the lead!” "All the misery of Africa comes from this country that realizes its ambitions on the backs of Africans, with the complicity of these traitors who do not hesitate to sacrifice entire generations by delivering their countries to the former colonizing power. They entrust all the key sectors of their economies to France. In reality, they lead the political strategy or vision desired by the former settler. This contributes to driving their populations into misery and extreme poverty. This is the cause of coups d'état, civil wars, genocides, famines, with despots at the head of these countries that are kept in power by France, because it meets all their requirements! "France is nothing without Africa! The day the African countries turn their backs on France, this country will plunge into chaos! As long as African countries do not abandon this domination of the former colonial power, by taking charge of their own destiny, as the Asian countries have done, it will be very difficult for them to get out of the abyss.

usermane:You should be thanking me for sprouting your thread(s). If not, you always appeared to be talking to yourself if it is your only contribution. I know you mad because I always battered you You failed to see the only difference between what you criticized and modern system. The only difference is SEPARATION OF CHURCH AND STATE. They still clutch on biblical or their religious system but in deceptive ways. This is your failure. You think you can accuse islamic Sharia and get away with it?. No way. You don't believe in Hadith. Then leave it alone. To you is your belief. To us is our belief. If you don't believe in something you will always be enemy to that thing. If you truly believed in Islam you would always found reasons or excuses for every Hadith you criticized. Now you have began to question some Ayah of Quran which means you further exposed yourself to what I have long suspected of you. You don't need to quote me at all. It is not necessary. |
MrAnele:I'm weak too man. Something is wrong with black race. No patriotism and no love. Look at ex Sudan president who ruled for more than 30yrs. Load of cash dollars were found in his house while his people live in excruciating poverty. Why are African leaders so wicked. They have sold oil to foreign countries and collected the money for the next 30 to 40yrs. They so greedy. |
IMAliyu:Yea, same thing we are saying. |
true2god:I got this now. This actually took place towards the end of Ottoman which kinda proves that when a nation goes beyond boundaries set by God, it is bound to perish. Example of this was the time Lot. Their homosexualism reached pinnacle of self destruction. This is what happened to Ottoman in their late empire. This was not the time of Sultan Muhammad Fatih (D. 1481). He was still considered pious as some point. In my opinion, their homosexual practices is identical to modern Catholics where priests are pedophiles. But this practice in Catholic Church is not legalized. So the difference is that Ottoman before it's dismantlement did not legalize homosexual practices unlike today. What happened was that the elites derived pleasures from it and it became so rampant amongst them. As you could have read, previous Sultans had pena code for homosexual for centuries because it is against islamic Sharia until later sultan who deviated in order to accommodate this fawaish. Another article stated that this homosexual reform was influenced by french then. Below is what I gleaned from a website They(Ottoman) did not legalize it, but the elites and many of the Sultans practiced it widely. Just like the Romans and some Afghans today, leading males of importance and power did not even consider themselves homosexuals if they slept with men. As long as they were the penetrators all was fun and games... On the other hand, Ottoman homosexuality was practiced with young boys, typically slaves or eunuchs. Once aged, the boys were not considered appropriate material for satisfying the masters...But modern Western Civilization are legalizing homosexual which means we live in dangerous time |
true2god:Whatever their "sex education" is doesn't really work. I need not to say more. Again, it depends on what they consider "child marriage" Julian Assange issue is a political witch-hunt by the DNC, especially during and after the US presidential election which brought Donald Trump into power. The DNC are yet to recover from the loss and are going after anybody deemed responsible for Hilary Clinton's loss in the last US presidential elections. Besides, it de-classification of sensitive national security documents to some foreign powers is a grave risk to the US' national security. There is always press and speech freedom as long as such 'speech' is not a threat to national security.This shows there is still limit to "freedom of speech" contrary to what they want us to believe. You said "as long as it doesn't go against national security". I get that but not only this. If you speak against zionists you will be rebuked. If you speak against or deny holocaust you will be called anti semite and excommunicated. If you speak against Jewish lobby (AIPAC) you will be chastised and called anti semite and if you hold political office you will be pressured to resign for your comments. Are these national security too?. Take Ilan Omar for example. She's being attacked left and right by both parties. Trump said she should resign from senate for her "anti-semitic view". How about Marc Lamont Hill who was fired by CNN for his commonet of Israeli mistreatment of palestinians. There is nothing like absolute freedom. So why blame islam for something they are similarly guilty of?. This is why i condemned this dude called "usermane". Now relating this back to Islam and free speech, If I say Mohammed married a 6 yr old child, which can be found in the hadith, this is never a hate speech. If I say mohammed killed 600-900 Jews of Banu quraiza, which is contained in the sirah rasool Allah, this cannot be classified as a hate speech but a historical fact. If I Mohammed expelled/killed the Jewish tribe living in Khaibar, this is a historical facts that is recorded in both the sirah and the hadith. The kafir can see this as a bad phase during the early days of Islam while the muslims will see it as an attack against Islam and it prophet. It now depends on the side of the Isle you belong. Most of what kafir accuse Islam of are well documented in the hadith and the sirah; the Muslims can however provide a better explanation why those incidents took place.These are not hate speeches. We would pardon their ignorance first. Clarification and education is what needed. And after teaching them and clarifying doubts but the fellow vehemently continues to drag it which means such fellow as motives like ifeann used to do. In this case it will be determined to be hate speech bcus the person is no longer ignorant. So all or most of these evangelical christians are guilty of hate speech in this sense bcus they simply said these things to create artificial problems and hatred for muslims I need not go back to analysis of these topics anymore. We dealt with this years ago. Another example is recent attacks in Sri Lanka. It is an attempt to create backlash for muslims. Only people with wisdom would not be fooled by them. From the reports we got, they said Sri Lankan security forces were alerted 3 yrs ago about some crazy people. Two weeks to the attack, security forces said they were aware of pending predicament but they did nothing to avert the threat until it actually happened which means they themselves have questions to answer. What is the duty of law enforcement?. Is it not to protect their citizens?. And now Sri Lanka govt published footage of alleged bomber wearing simple T-shirt and Jeans and had backpack on. Although the video doesn't prove he did anything wrong. My point is, bcus of this incident, govt of Sri Lanka said they will ban burqa. Abeg, tell me how burqa relate to a person wearing Western cloth and backpack?. This means their intention was to deliberately create artificial hatred for muslims. Their trademark is boldly written on the wall. They had to kill innocent lives to make Islam and muslims look bad. This is hate bcus there will be people who fell for their trash and this breeds hate speeches and attacks on muslims. Ayatolla Khomeni refused to set age limit for marriage in Iran using the hadith as a justification while the saudis are yet to ratify the new age limit for marriage. As for the western world, they are spiritually and morally dead.In another word, we need not to say more. If later is not better then there is no need to condemn former. Still brings us back to kettle calling pot black. Is usermane ready to admit this fact? |
True2god, First all, before I address your last post up there, from your responses, you can see reason why I said numerous times that op's hatred for Sharia laws is useless and irrelevant because everything he condemns Sharia or "traditional muslims" as he called us are similarly seen in modern Western societies. So this begs question, what's his point exactly?. Also what's exactly CHRISTIANs problems for condemn Islam when everything is also done by them in the past (Christian crusade in medieval times) and modern time. So for him to open threads up and down maligning Islam makes no sense. It means he had ulterior motives. |
submit:did you receive my text?. You should be able to see my number. I will try to flash tommorow |
iammo:this is federal issue but not necessarily president or VP responsibility. It is immigration official solely responsible.

Separating Onikijipa from his political misconduct By Abdulrazaq O Hamzat Shortly after I was reportedly declared wanted by the Kwara State government last year and my subsequent engagement with the state CID over the activities of Kwara Must Change, a video of our respected Sheikh, Sulaimon Farooq Onikijipa surfaced online. In the video which was detested by many Kwarans, the respected Sheikh, who suddenly became hated by many was seen boasting about the in-defeatability of the Saraki dynasty. Like many Kwarans, who are working for the enthronement of a truly democratic state, the content of the video was, to say the least, unfortunate and I was almost joining those publicly castigating the scholar, but I realized early that like every other human, scholars too can be sentimental based on their interest and affiliation. Even before the political blunder of the scholar, I have had a course to disagree with him on several occasions. I disagreed with him over some comments directed to Sheikh Habeebullah Al-Ilory, disagreed with him over some spiritual claims particularly as regards money and even disagreed with him over his remarks to Sheikh Muyideen Ajani Bello. However, disagreeing with Sheikh Onikijipa doesn’t make him less seminal or revered based on his scholarly engagement over the years. We must learn to separate Onikijipa from his political misconduct. While it is proper to respectfully disagree with anyone on issues, we must never take such disagreement to the level of hatred. As people of fate, we have been directed never to hate any human, though we may hate their misconduct, which is exactly what I did. In a popular TV advert many years ago, it was stated that there is some element of goodness in every man and so is the case of Sheikh Farouq Onikijipa. As much as the scholar is now rightly seen in the negative as a result of his self-defeated overconfidence in a bad political product due to an alliance, a significant positivity of Onikijipa that can never be washed away is his undeniable commitment to youth development. For many years, we have heard numerous stories of sheikh’s contribution to several youths and student organizations and these positive contributions cannot be disregarded because of his political sentiment or blunder. Similarly, Sheikh Farooq’s public sensitization on the need for cohesion and unity among the Ulama’s while responding to the outright condemnation of Alfa Jabata by many, over his anti-social preaching, is one great service to the society. Many including this writer had at one time or the other feel pained by Alfa Jabata’s regular miss-yans, sometimes feeling tempted to use derogatory terms to describe the scholar. But after listening to Onikijjipa’s broader perspective, full of wisdom and caution, one suddenly felt the need to sympathize, rather than condemn Alfa Jabata. From Onikiipa’s teaching regarding Jabata, many learned the acts of accommodation of different ideology without bitterness, while praying that the other party also improve and grow in understanding. I am therefore of the opinion that we must sympathize, rather than throw Sheikh Sulaimon Farouq under the bus. As a matter of fact, more than ever before, I am eager to meet with Sheikh Sulaimon to hear his reason for putting out such dangerous preaching out at such a critical time, especially when our group, Kwara Must Change had been calling for caution on the part of the scholars and the traditional rulers. Finally, let me conclude that, we have won our freedom, but the change we seek is yet to be achieved. That change, to my understanding, will only come, through patience with the new government and our collective efforts to make things better. Abdulrazaq O Hamzat is the Convener of Kwara Must Change. |
