PoliticsRe: I’ll Teach You How To Defeat Tinubu In Lagos, Saraki Tells Lagos PDP by Empiree:
With every comment I'm reading, Nigerians are still very silly. Throw all these crooks in hell.

None of them deserve to govern. You are so quick to forget things. When APC won 3yrs ago, recall that many pdp defected to APC. Now that they messed up APC they defected to PDP.

Listen, they are the same people in both parties. Just watch if PDP wins presidential office, you will see bunch of APC run to PDP and you still don't achieve anything in 3yrs.

Nigerians aren't ready yet for a real change. Forget about parties. Stop falling for their tricks i:e PDP calls APC names. APC calls PDP names. You don't need this. You need to hold them accountable for the positions entrusted to them.

All Politicians MUST be Transparent

The reason you have no stable light is due to greed and lack of transparency. There are political thieves making hell of profits through generators. Therefore, they will never want stable electricity in the country.

I will really appreciate if you can provide the Wikipedia link which I paraphrased to build my argument. To be fair with you, I never say I haven't gotten any material from the internet; over 90% of what I wrote is my personal opinion.
forget it. For the fact that you got infos from net was enough evidence.




On the black American converts, what I said is that most of them are Christian 'criminals' prior being arrested. Islam in prison only help them to fraternise and create a sense of brotherhood. Watch many American prison life to see how it works. Angry and disgruntled black criminals are easily attracted to Islam. It is part of human behavior; you are attracted to a group/organization that suits your social/human behaviour. Islam give them a spiritual angle to their inate lifestyle.
You have just said the truth, that they are Christian criminals prior to beeing jailed and Islam reforms them. That's all I need. That's all I have been saying. You didn't need to quote "CRIMINALS". They are indeed CHRISTIAN CRIMINALS at the time of their arrest. Thanks for speaking the truth.



Lebron James, and many other black stars, can also become Muslim, especially when the system goes against him and he becomes disgruntled. 95% of African-american Muslim converts are disgruntled elements. Mention a single popular black American Muslim convert who is not a disgruntled element to the American govt, especially with respect to race relation?
Story story. Yes, they are disgruntled because of unfair and biased pro CHRISTIAN LAWS. grin



And don't get me wrong, we have 1000s of African-americans who are Christians and are serving jail terms.
grin grin now that pressure is up you begin to speak the truth. You are just agreeing with everything I have been saying all along. But you acted like Christians can not be terrorists and criminals. Thanks for speaking the truth. Don't switch mouth again cheesy




You have to google the internet in search of American converts to Islam, cut the crap bro. The US is almost 500 million in population and you will surely see many converts on the internet. The good news is that they are protected by the 1st Amendment which guaranteed religious freedom. Can a Christian convert remain in Saudi Arabia without being killed or jailed? Is there religious freedom in Saudi Arabia?
Lie. There are Christians in Saudi. They simply have their community and their population is low. But the reason they are not famous is the same reason Muslims aren't famous in vatican. Plus, 1+1+1=1 according to Christians.

But according to Muslims 1+1+1=3.

So no educational sector would hire Christians to teach pupils mathematics because it is a recipe for disaster. This is the reason Saudi Arabia could not tolerate them to gain ground and teach their children 3nity cheesy grin

Empiree, I thought you were smarter than that. "COVENANT" is not a set of rules. Or is that an Islamic definition?
You simply have nothing to show for it. If not you wouldn't be wasting your time. You could simply post what your covenants. It is very simple. Covenant is that you worship One God. That's the first if all in both O & NTs, not 3nity. That's rule number and that's all I'm interested in.



You are beginning to make me think that you don't examine the comments one made before you reply.
I hope it's just that and not a more serious matter of comprehension.
This is what I stated:
" ... the koran acknowledged the gospels of which the book of Luke is one"
That shouldn't be difficult to understand; should it?
Or are you going to deny that the koran acknowledges the gospel?
Don't get worked up bro. The Gospel that Qur'an talks about was the Gospel ACCORDING TO JESUS, not the Gospel according to Mr. Luke. Very simply isn't?. So where is the Gospel according to Jesus?. It should be one Gospel but what you have today are Gospels according to many people grin



Show us evidence that:
"Angel Gabriel(as) reviewed Quran with him twice towards the end of his life"and that Mohamed supervised "his scribes hard copy in his lifetime."
and if you are shown evidence would you believe?. I'm sure not. Anyways, you may ponder over these.


Ibn Abaas (radi Allahu anhu) said, “The (Angel) Jibreel used to meet the Prophet (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam) every night in Ramadan and study the Qur’an with him.”

[Sahih al-Bukhari and Muslim]

Ibn Abass was companion of the prophet, which means he saw, ate, walked and dined with prophet Muhammad. This is the meaning of companion (sahaba).



As the above Hadith informs us, Jibreel used to come to the Prophet (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam) every night in Ramadan, and study the Qur’an with him.


In another narration, Abu Hurayrah (radi Allahu anhu) said that Jibreel used to review the Qur’an with the Prophet (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam) once each year, and in the year in which he died, he reviewed it with him twice. From this it may be understood that it is mustahabb (strongly recommended) to read Qur’an a great deal and to study it during the month of Ramadan.

Abu Hurayrah was also companion.




This "confirmation of truth" requires a reflection from you: If people other than Mohamed wrote the koran and hadiths, can we say that they were INSPIRED and so we can trust their work? If so, then Allah had other "MESSENGERS" after Mohamed. He was therefore not the final messenger of Islam.
If, on the other hand, those people were not INSPIRED, then they acted on their own authority. Therefore we cannot trust their work.

So, on which side of these two are you Emp.iree?
You are trying to be smart, aren't you?. Qur'an was WRITTEN DOWN IN THE LIFETIME OF THE PROPHET, not after him. Which means he supervised it.

OK. First, Stand your ground law is flawed. Need be scrapped or thoroughly modified. It shouldnt be OK to kill someone just cos you 'feel' threatened by them.

Secondly this is not good analogy for Hadith #8. On paper, Stand Your Ground Law can favor any one, of any demographic(Muslim, Non-Muslim, White, Black) for the homicide of someone from another demographic.

On paper, Hadith #8 only favors one demograhic(Muslims) for the homicide of one from another demographic(non-Muslims)



I won't dispute this with you. It will be another rabbit hole. But look at the bright side in it, since they do not attribute their laws and policies to God, it's open to questioning and thus modification.

In Muslim countries, they openly attribute their laws to God. They invoke Islam, & say these laws are immutable. And accuse anyone that question the law of blasphemy and enemity to Islam.



I never blamed traditional Islam for Saudi ban on women driving. But I believe for the government to institute such a ban, the Muftis must have supported it.
Lol, you went to research Stand Your Ground Law. I can tell from your writing grin Yes, on paper it is in favor of everyone. Unfortunately the reason it is mostly in a favor of White is because gun law (CCW -Conceal Carry Weapon) despite being there for every qualified citizens, if you as a black man should carry weapon, chances of getting killed by cop exist before knowing you are a legal CCW holder. This is why it is not common in Black community to CCW.

So I don't support this law whatsoever. It's dangerous

I criticize that law, it is unfair. If a white British commit murder abroad he must be liable to death sentence even if he's extradited. Same way, a Muslim should be liable to death sentence for murder of a non-Muslim even in an Islamic State.
Good man. I have achieved my aim. You have just acknowledged my point. So there isn't a need to argue further. I can guarantee you that British will not execute their citizen who commits murder abroad. So let's just say it is a "law of favoritism". So now you have not only hadith 8 to condemn but theirs too. As long as they have theirs it is pointless to keep critisizing hadith that you don't feel fit.



Funny, for some reason, you think any one that criticize traditional Islam must be an ardent supporter of every policy in western democracies.
If I didn't put this pressure on you, you would not recognize my point. So I don't necessarily think you support "them".I just feel you are irrational sometimes. And one more thing, I don't see nothing really wrong with Western democracies by extension of its practices, they actually have elements of shariah compliant rules.
IslamRe: Evil Of Soothsaying, Foretelling And Horoscope by Empiree:
First all, it may be difficult to tell if someone indulges in it. We are not to police people's private life. This is suspicion and suspicion is haram. Fortune telling usually done in private. Therefore, if you don't know for sure but you only base your judgement on suspicions, you may be sining. We generally pray behind whoever leads prayer. We are not to question his privacy. What is required of imam is to know basics of fiqh of salat.

We can not base our judgement on hearsays and then excommunicate imam on that. Also, even if we eventually know, this case is like trying to persecute adulterers. Adulterers are not easy to catch. Therefore, if you want to know someone indulges, you need to know the details of it. For instance, iyepe tite. You visit his house and you see "opon iyepe" on his table and then you conclude in your mind that he must be indulging in fortune telling. And then you see him in the masjid leading salat and you start causing trouble without knowing details, you have just created fitna in the House of Allah. This is what the guy in London, a self proclaimed "alfa" who criticizes ilorin alfas did. He said he saw opon iyepe in a masjid when he went to nigeria and he started accusing them of shirk. This is very senseless. Obviously this iyepe is used for Wudhu.


This opon iyepe is used for dry ablution (tayammum). Those babas and mamas used to have it in their living rooms and it was used for nothing beyond that. Also, it is used for hisab (accounting). This is where some modern alfa especially young ones got it wrong. There is no jinn inside iyepe telling them the future unless individual specifically use it for that. Hisab aspect is similar to doctor analysing lab tests like ultrasound, MRI etc. Let's say you have not been eating much. Maybe you only eat once a day. Six months later you visit your doctor for general check up. He will take your blood and urine and ask you to come a week or two later. Doctor's report will show in their experiment that you are "fasting". How did doctor know this?. He used hisab. His hisab tells him that you are not eating much. It is not Jinn telling him that. Those baba used this back in the days. They also have tira written by medieval scholars on how to check status of someone on a trip etc. This is equivalent to tracking aircraft from nigeria to London. Islam permits this simple arithmetic.


So modern technology tapped everything from islam while we the "owners" were asleep. At the same time, there are people who use it for haram activities where they tell the future by consulting Jinn. So you can see appearance of iyepe tite, hisab and wudhu are similar. But their realities are different. So before you accuse someone, make sure you know the details. So the last aspect i just described is what Nabi Muhammad (saw) condemned. It is this one referred to as "ati eni to teyepe, ati eni to lo yewo, awon mejeji ma wo ina ni straight" bcus they disbelieve in what was revealed to nabi Muhammad(saw). That been said, if you wanna refute Imam for doing "soothsaying", you better be very careful so that you dont commit sin in the process. It is deeper than what some of us might think.

Appearance and reality can be very different. The same is true of "kanako". Kanako ti olohun is different from shayateen but they may have similar appearances just like mujiza/karama compared to magic. A muslim should be able to tell the difference. But today, we have extremists on both sides. One side has taken "hisab" to another level but in fact it is not hisab but fortune telling while other side doesn't care to get facts before condemnation because he only perceives from afar. This one only reads hadith literally and concludes that whoever is using iyepe must be fortuneteller. This is wrong.

And Allah knows best

I am not dull bro; I am more than an average person when it comes to academic and intellectual discipline.

If you can search the internet and show me where I copied what I wrote from I will send you a recharge card of 1k ( I know you are far bigger than that).
I'm gonna give you benefit of the doubt. I read something similar in Wikipedia while we post back n forth. You might read it as well and then you paraphrased in your own way.



I seriously can't understand the point you tried to make. I still however maintained that most African-american Muslim converts are either not-yet arrested criminals, prisoners and ex-convicts. You can hardly see a hardworking, well educates, easy-going, focused and success-driven African-american who converted to Islam. I don't say it's impossible, but very very rare
First all, you are still not getting it. You are saying most African Americans are muslim converts. That's true. But this is not line of argument. What I'm saying is they are usually non muslims prior to been convicted criminals. They converted in prison which means they weren't muslim before then. What part of that you don't understand?.

Now you said well educated Africa Americans don't convert to Islam?. So Muhammad Ali or Malcolm x, who memorized 4000 words and meanings from the dictionary in prison was not educated?. That side. How about bunch of white muslim converts like cat Stephen, Yusuf Estes (former Christian minister) and many more, are they criminals too?.

You try to say Islam only attracts criminals but you failed to mention Christians who have been jailed.

Majority of those basketball players who are African Americans are Christians like LeBron james, but only when they get in trouble and sent to jail and they convert to Islam, then you realize they are criminals?


But when they are playing and earning you attribute Christianity to them forgetting that they committed crimes while they are Christian. I know the drill. How about CONVICTED CHRISTIAN Michael Vick who was sentenced to 23 months in prison for dog fighting, he invoked Jesus Christ after his released and pledged not do that again in Jesus name...amen. How about CONVICTED CHRISTIAN movie star like Wesley Snipe who was jailed for tax fraud. You are so senseless. And you are yet to address all those white Christians who carried out all mass shootings in the US. Those are muslims too?.



Islam is not made for a critically and rationally-minded person bro, unless you are born into Islam or grow up in an Islamic society
Bigot spotted. Sensible readers know you are a bigot. So Samuel Shrophisire and millions like him are not rationally minded?. You are incredible. Mr. Shrophisire is American from North Carolina. He's muslim convert.



Even the African-american ex-convicts, over 80% of them leave Islam within 5-10 years. Thank God they are in the US and not Saudi Arabia.
You are so ignorant. Many american converts live in Saudi currently, especially those rappers

You argue like a kid but I believe you are an adult.

Let's look at issue of African-american Muslim converts again. The blacks in the US are made up of about 13% of the population, about 50 million people. The population of blacks in the American prison system is almost 45% of the entire prison population which is a high when you look at the normal demographics of all blacks in the US vis-à-vis their representation in the prison yards. This means that there are enough blacks for Muslims to convert outside the prison system. Why are Muslim missionaries channelling their energies to convert incarcerated African-americans?

1) Most black prisoners are not educated and over 90% didn't even finish high school. Muslim nations/communities are the least educated worldwide. So it is natural for the uneducated elements in the US to embrace Islam.

2) Islam as a religion has a great appeal to anyone who is rebellious. If you want to go against a social order and want to have a religious angle to the struggle, you need Islam to achieve that. It is very easy to fight any govt if you play Muslim card very well. No wonder most popular civil right activist choose Islam.

3) Islam does not reform a man, it only make you have a family of like-minds. Most American Muslim converts retain their criminal elements after leaving the prison system.

4) It is very hard to convince an average educated African-american, who is not in prison, to accept Islam because they have more rational view of an ideology than the illiterate and the uneducated ones. The more educated an Africa-American is, the lower the tendency that he will convert to Islam.

5) Most African-american Muslims were outlaws, even without a prison experience, before accepting Islam. The religion assist them exhibit their full macho-man lifestyle which Christianity might restrict them.

6) Lastly, Christian 'criminal' are potential Muslim converts. Islam offer them the freedom to express themselves better without much control and also assist form a cult-like association with their fellow converts. It is all about the continuation of the brotherhood outside the prison system.

Go and watch the movie OX and you will see how Islamic brotherhood operates in American prisons, especially among the black convicts.

If you look at the life of Muhammad and his sahabas it is not different from the life of African-american muslim black convicts; looting, killing and raping of people who are not in the brotherhood (Qur'an 8:60, 9:29, 8:39, sahih Bukhari 4:52:220).
You are a liar. Come to US. Average African Americans on the streets are not Muslim. Maybe you can say 1 in every 10 households in America is a Muslim. I agree. But large number of African Americans are Southern Christian baptists. Of course in this day and age, many of them are familiar with Islam due to family relation and exposure to immigrant muslims.

But you copied nonsense on the internet to convince me would not work. Wikipedia tries to protect Christianity by excusing the religion from prison converts. But in reality, many African Americans are Christians and bear Christian and English names. What you posted from Google is fraud
IslamRe: ...... by Empiree:
LadunaI:
And this brings me to first assertion that is a reflection of our iman at times from my own perspective, because as we developed in spirituality the less we give precedence to all these things safe PRAYER!!!. The life of Holy Prophet(saw) showed us this. And I was particularly influenced when I read the anecdotes of Hadrat Uways. The Holy Prophet(saw) said that when describing him that he had leprosy, but he prayed to Allah(swt) and he was cured of it safe a little spot like a coin. And this one refers to as the BEST of Tabiuns. I believe there many instances which buttress this point from life of Sahabas and Awliya.

So what is your takehuh?
See bold, that's the point. The more we grow spiritually the less we give those things preference. This is very true. You are in support of my position basically.

But then, we have instances where some people need help and they are not nearby for immediate assistance,
and certain things may be devised to reach them.

From the point of view of those in support of ogun ( both charm and iwosan) moderately, they cited nature of Yorubaland as exception. That Arabia used to be like that (that's, prevalent of evil people). Therefore, since Allah gave Yoruba people their ways of dealing with them, there is no harm in it so long it doesn't involves shirk and Haram things.

I think I briefly narrated story of a family friend few years ago in Jinn Stories thread by tbaba. That incident was reality beyond literally reading books. Solution to his problems required practical approach from Yorubaland because these folks chasing him came from Yorubaland as well. "The occult world"

His story convinced me that nkan be labe sanmo (many strange things beyond average humans comprehension exist beneath the earth). As you rightly said, besides recommended antidotes by nabi(saw). We know more base on further researches.

I will like to point out two well known shuyukh: one is alive. One already passed. Both of them said same thing about ogun. I think you should watch them on YouTube. You don't need to watch the whole videos.

Watch sheikh Rabiu Adebayo titled Esin Ko ni Kama S'oogun watch from probably the first 20mins

Watch sheikh Muhammad Mustafa Ashile(ra) titled Odu Ifa. Watch from 5mins to 20mins. I will urge you to watch the videos first before you reply.

They were not critisized then actually but a guy in London recently critisized sheikh rabiu on it. But I don't take him serious anyway because of his foul mouth approach.


I believe that ogun nbe (good and bad). Ogun buruku that work by God's permission. And identical sihr are in the Qur'an to counter them (will tell you this experience if you want with regards to *** family in Lagos/osun states). And Yoruba and Islam have ways of dealing with them according to some Alfa so long it doesn't involve shirk or Haram elements. But piority is given to Islam. As for the man (in NY) I'm talking about I may talk about him later.

One Uztas recently quoted verse of Quran where Allah condemned the Jews for practicing sihr that shaytan gave them, which is usually quoted by those who condemn ogun charm. From within the Ayah, Uztas deduced "evidence" of legal charm brought down by malaikat. But I'm trying to figure it out. Maybe you can.

The Ayah is Baqarah 102. This ayah is used to condemn charm and at the same time used to deduce halal charm. I don't know if it is proper to use the phrase underlined.

You don't understand the psychology of human behavior. A negative remark made concerning a person/group under a peaceful and tranquil atmosphere is usually the truth statement. The Pope made an honest opinion about Islam and the entire Muslim world went hysterical, looting and burning churches, the trademark of Islam and the prophet. For peace to reign and to calm the nerves of hysterical Muslims, he had to issue an apology. The fact remained he made his opinion about Islam known and was removed from the office as a result. No wonder the current Pope Francis will go any length to kiss the ass of the Muslims; this what the globalists and the Soros-funded organization controlling the world order asked him to do. The current Pope is the worst Pope in the history of the papacy; a leftist to the core doing the bid of the global mafia.
Pope's remarks was met with reprisal verbal attack by americans. I watched african american guy that time who embrace islam on his live youtube criticism of pope. I have been searching for the video but it seems it is removed. So now, does his remarks carried any weight now in 2018?. Absolutely not.



Thank God that you also identified that most African-american Muslims are ex-convicts. Most of them accepted Islam in the prison. What does that tell you?
Dont get it twisted. They were christian criminals before they went to jail. They were jailed while christians. Most of those average americans are christians including mass shooters, common criminal, adulterers, gamblers, pornstars, alcoholics, robbers,bandits you name it. Whether they are practicing christians or not, bottom line is they are christians and commit crimes and sent to jail. They were reformed in prison by Islam. So yes, most African american christians are convicted criminals until they embrace islam. In most cases they belong to baptist church.



Islam is a very attractive religion for people that have criminal tendencies.
No, they have always been criminals while christian. Stop twisting. Islam reforms them. It is in prison they get attracted to islam and clean up themselves. Malcolm x comes to mind.


Islam allow criminals to view themselves as victims of a wrong system instead of taking responsibility for their negative actions or past. 90% of American Muslims are either convicted armed robbers, thieves, murderer or a gang leader. Islam allow them to exhibit their real personality without any iota of conscious.
Any unbiased mind reading your post knows that you are false. It is common knowledge that they embrace islam after been convicted as christians.



Take a look at Mike Tyson, Muslim convert (now plant and sell cannabis), Malcom X (assassinated by his fellow nation of Islam member), Mohammed Ali (went to jail for civil disobedience), etc.

The major reason Pope Benedict XVI was forced to stand down and resign was his conservative and occasional controversial views. He said Islam was spread with sword and that there is nothing Mohammed brought except tears, blood and sorrow.
He apologized and retracted his statements. It was after that he went to Istanbul to pray salat at the mosque even though his prayer was just exercise because he was not a Muslim. So why did you bring back statements he already regretted?. To score cheap point?.




Even if the Pope becomes a Muslim today it wont change nothing. In the 1960s high profile African-Americans such as Malcolm X, Elijah Mohammed, Mohammed Ali, etc, became Muslims yet less than 2% of African-americans are Muslims today. A high profile convert is only good for Islamic propaganda and nothing more.
true but then, they created awareness. The reason their population of muslims is still low is due to media. It is informational struggle. Yet, every American you see would like to eat Halal food grin grin They know halal has to do with Islam. So awareness was created.

The other point i raised which you ignore, is not domestic one. That is even inline with hadith 8. When was the last time Nigeria imprisoned British citizens?. Are there no British citizens that have committed crimes?.

Yes, they are. UK govt would ask for their extradition for the person to face lesser punishment or have his or her charges dropped because they believe they have better laws and better jail system. So they won't allow their citizen to be jailed outside. Quiet frankly, I support this. But Nigerian citizens in the UK will spend time in UK prison. Nigeria doesn't have power to extradite in most cases.

UK gives this preference for her citizens to display their dominant empire over her former colonies. Do you dare criticize this law?. How does this differ from Hadith 8?. I see no distinction between the two. This is what Hadith 8 stands for. Take it or leave it.

If my first analogy was inappropriate, is this one also inappropriate?. Answer please?. You failed to realize that many of these Western laws were tapped from Islam including their social wellfares during colonial rules.

How can a grown man, privileged to live in the developed world justify Hadith #8 as analogous to racist prejudice that excuses a white man who murdered a black man in US.?

For such reason, it can be really exhausting delving back and forth to address the inaccuracies that he prattles as refutations. Hence, my decision to sometimes let the sleeping dogs lie.
I knew it. I said in my earlier post that this is not about race. It is the law itself. It is just uncommon that black man kills white man in Florida and Stand Your Ground Law is invoked. We are yet to see that. Until then, what is presumed now is that Stand Your Ground Law is unfair to some people and it give preference to certain people over another, the same way you think hadith 8 gives preference for Muslims.

I'm not trying to turn this to race thing. I saw with my two eyes a white cop murdered a white man (I think in Florida) inside hotel. And judge set the cop free. So this is not about race. This is about the law is unfair just as much as you think hadith 8 is unfair. Period.

You also failed to see that those people have separation of church and state. If they set a law, you don't see it as religious one. But if a Muslim country innocently sets a law that is independent of Islam, you still blame "traditional Islam" while you ignore theirs. This is exactly their plan.

Another example is Saudi banned women from driving. Just because it is Islamic country doesn't mean the law is Islamic. But they still blame religion. The reason for this is because we don't have separation of mosque and state. Is this difficult for you to understand?

Many irrelevant stuff you wrote. I am only replying to specific concerns
plainbibletruth:
Does the koran have any context?

No one is saying that Christians have no rule whatsoever. Man, where do you get your deductions from?


Again, the Christian is under the New Covenant!
Covenant is set of rules. Where are they mentioned in your NT?. Pls dont come up with blood of Jesus or he died for you. That one is bogus.



But the koran acknowledged the gospels of which the book of Luke is one.
Serious allegation you made. Can you show us where Quran mentioned the book of luke?


Btw, Mohamed NEVER wrote the koran himself, did he?
Good i like this. It means you and true2god knew the truth all along but you chose to argue otherwise. You and him have accused our prophet(saw) of authoring Quran. See how you easily revealed the truth?. So yes, prophet Muhammad(saw) didnt write Quran. It was revelation by God. But Angel Gabriel(as) reviewed Quran with him twice towards the end of his life. And he also supervised his scribes hard copy in his lifetime.




And all the hadiths you use but are not too sure about were also not written by Mohamed; were they?
Good. Another confirmation of truth. I like the way you spill the bean grin


Thanks again for saying the truth.

I think there are a lot of Muslims who can make enlightening posts on a variety of topics but are held back because of questions such as "where is the evidence?" "who is your salaf on this?"

You like making unrelated references, you are not a good student of research. However for the purpose of this discussion, I will always be of help to you.

Baptism was never instructed with a caveat for war and destruction, unlike the shahada. It quite funny that all the while you pretended as if you never saw the hadith I quoted with regards to the origin of the shahada. Anyway, let's compare Christian baptism with Islamic shahada;

Matthew 28:19 New International Version (NIV)
Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.

See the clause: 'go and make disciples (preach and no threat of war) of all nations'.

Now let us look at the Islamic shahada:

sahih Muslim 33:

It has been narrated on the authority of Abdullah b. 'Umar that the Messenger of Allah said: I have been commanded to fight against people till they testify that there is no god but Allah, that Muhammad is the messenger of Allah, and they establish prayer, and pay Zakat and if they do it, their blood and property are guaranteed protection on my behalf except when justified by law, and their affairs rest with Allah

Can you see the difference between Jesus' mandate and Mohammed's threat? How can you even compare the two instructions; one for peace and the second for war.

I know you will ignore as usual, is sahih Muslim a weak or fabricated hadith (Muslims' denial strategy)?
You have been told the context of the hadith you decided to look the other way. So it is a waste of time going over this. For record, origin of shahada did not start with the hadith in question. Origin of shahada is in the sura 112 which preaches tawheed (Oneness of God). This the foundation of shahada and it was revealed in Mecca before any war. This is what muslim chanted around Mekkah while facing persecution.

As for Matthew 28:19, this is a fraud. Jesus didnt write this. It was Matthew or some other writer because it is clear that not all christians believe trinity. This passage indicates trinity. Unitarian christianity reject trinity.



true2god:
[size=2pt]Yes because over 90% of Muslims are ignorant of Islami and Islamic history. Over 80% Islamic source documents are codified in Arabic hence making it difficult for Muslims, and none Muslims alike, to understand the imperial nature of Islamic. The internet age is however unmasking and decoding Islamic 'coded' teachings which were, before now, hidden from the kafir.

Muslims are now on constant damage control mode after we non-muslims started reading and de-coding Islamic coded, and mafia-like, teachings and practices. Some 30-yrs ago all hadith from Bukhari and Muslim are sahih (authentic) but today the disingenuous Muslims have categorized their so-called sahih hadith' into:

1. Strong hadith

2. Weak Hadith

3. Fabricated hadith.

Ironically, all these 'classes' of hadith are in the same book called sahih (authentic) Bukhari or sahih Muslim. What a shame!

As for sirah rasool allahh, some Muslims, especially non-arab Muslims are in a denial mode. Islamic books must be rejected; the honour of the apostle of allahh must be protected. Muslims are also denying Islamic history by Altabari. We are getting there, the next the Muslims will reject is the Qur'an itself (the poster face of Islam). [/size]
What goes around comes around. Thats why, with help of internet, most atheists you see today were once christians. They are rejecting christianity in drove. And there is news going around that your retired Pope Benedict 16 renounced christianity and have made pilgrimage to Makkah. I saw the video of him in Mecca but I can not confirm its authenticity. And i dont expect mainstream media to report it. It was said that this was the reason he stepped down from Papal.

No one tells you that islamic book history are 100% accurate. They were written by human without supervision of the prophet(saw). Since we understood this, it is easy for us to discern falsehood from truth using Quranic standard
Christianity EtcRe: WHAT CHRISTIANS MUST KNOW ABOUT ISLAM by Empiree:
plainbibletruth:
Again, for all those verses you quoted look at the CONTEXT!
Amazing how you talk about CONTEXT but you are adamant when you quote a verse of Quran, and then insist it breeds violence while you overlook the context.



Btw, why do you think that because those verses are in the OT, that Islam is justified? That's hardly any reasonable way of proving a point.
Good. That was meant to tell you that you are a pot calling the kettle black



Jesus Christ fulfilled the Law. Didn't you see it there? He said he came to fulfil it and he did. The Christian is therefore no longer under the Law; that is the plain truth.
He fulfilled the Laws means that he laid down foundation for you to follow. Otherwise, all those laws and violence verses would have been expunged before he gone. But they are kept bcus they are still operational. But you are telling me that christians have no rule whatsoever. They just live on earth to do as they wish?. You are incredible.



That is why the Bible declared that: "Christ is the culmination of the law so that there may be righteousness for everyone who believes." Romans 10:4.
This simply means you MUST abide by those laws so long as you claim to be his follower. The verse doesn't say "after he is gone, the laws are no longer operational". This verse is just like prophet Muhammad(saw) left the rules and laws behind for us to follow. It doesn't mean after he is gone the laws are redundant. That's wrong interpretation and understanding. They are still there in your bible. Otherwise i would have agreed with you. You're still using both OT and NT. Therefore, you are bound to follow and apply those laws.



He then set up the New Covenant.
"In the same way, after the supper he took the cup, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which is poured out for you." Luke 22:20.
Sir, this is fraud. Who wrote this?. I guess Luke, right?. Luke said in chapter 2 that "Even as they delivered them unto us, which from the beginning were eyewitnesses, and ministers of the word;"

So Luke himself was not eyewitness. everything written in it was hearsays from other eyewitnesses. So how reliable is this verse?. It contradicts other bible verses. I believe that by Jesus blood you meant his death was sacrifice and a new covenant, right?. But then he cried to God to safe him on the cross . That doesnt sound like someone willing to sacrifice his blood for you grin shocked




He also became the intermediary between mankind and God:
"For there is one God and one mediator between God and mankind, the man Christ Jesus, who gave himself as a ransom for all people. This has now been witnessed to at the proper time."
I dont have problem with this. All prophets and messangers were in similar position.




Because he ALONE satisfied God:
"Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved.” Acts 4:10
Yes, during his time(ONLY) and to Israelite people ONLY. It has nothing to do with you. You are African. We are now living in the time of Muhammad(saw)

Can you see the PRIMORDIAL WISDOM of the days of old?! There are a THOUSAND AND ONE reasons why the concept of VIRGINITY is designed to play a core role in saving the society from such NONSENSE as this.

THESE WOMAN CAN'T EVEN TELL WHO THE FATHER OF HER CHILD IS. YET THE FOOL OF THE HUSBAND IS FIGHTING TO SAVE HIS MARRIAGE UPON WHAT FOUNDATION REALLY?

Bro, there are worse stories than this that are disturbingly true.

It's not an ABSOLUTE that a VIRGIN will remain CHASTE through out marriage. But the PROBABILITY that most would is very much on the highest of percentage.

Imagine an unborn innocent child's life already subjected to such a drama courtesy of a choice of IRRESPONSIBILITY.

Hmmmm I can understand why the husband sees no big deal as to his wife's sexual affair with her ex. ITS A WAY OF LIFE! ITS CALLED CARNAL CULTURE.

I hope that in the nearest future. DNA test would be made compulsory during pregnancy as to ascertain the real father of a child. This measure will at least put caution and narrow down such PESTILENCE NONSENSE.

Imagine she had sex with her Ex on 7th and 9th. She couldn't even call to mind her intimacy with her husband on the 8th.

But then, to have come out to tell her husband about such a possibility that the baby might not be his, is truely a brave thing at such an early stage.

IslamRe: Islam And Spirituality by Empiree:

You know, any thread that has to do with spirituality in Islam is frowned upon these days, because we are now being deprived of our spiritual insight.

As for the thread on the front page, as interesting as it is, anytime you read Christian subjects on spirituality, you definitely need strong Quranic knowledge too as your standard criteria BECAUSE, due to the mixed up from their biblical point of view, they may confused you. This is where they mixed up God for Jesus vis a vis.

For instance, the use of the word "spirit" in Christianity is very loose. We don't call God a spirit because this phrase is used for Angels, Jinns, human souls and other world of unseen. Quran on the other hand distinguishes spirit from Supreme Beeing - Allah.

Truth is, I thought about the Islamic year and I wondered why Muharram is taken as first month and not Rabbiul Awwal, since the Islamic year is reference to the Hijra. And from the little I know, Hijra was in Rabbiul Awwal and not Muharram.

Anyone else who knows the story should feel free to contribute to the discourse.

IslamRe: Why Qur'an Alone? 2.0 by Empiree:
usermane:
Yes.



Qur'an 2:178 covers this subject. Never specifying the religious affiliation of the killer or the killed. Now, even if the Qur'an is silent on a Muslim that kills a non-Muslim, it is only justice and egalitarian that the death penalty is an option for such a Muslim.
I know you don't care about historical context so I wont fret about it. I have always personally understood this verse in the context of Muslim community only but I could be wrong.

Also read it's context historically which appears have little to do with muslim community pre-Islam Arabs.

That aside, the reason your approach to the Hadith is wrong is in my first reply days ago. Hadith 8 doesn't perpetrate injustice at all. I truly hope you follow US news regularly?. You will see worst. This is why I always cite contemporary references anytime you bring up Hadith to criticize.

It seems to me that Imam Abu Hanifah of Hanafi was the only one who differed from the rest. This means Muslim authority may apply either methods (to kill to muslim who kills non-Muslim or not - like other schools) because the Ayah appears to be neutral if taken as is. But majority is what I am considering (Imam Maliki, Shafii, Hanbali, Jafarii) but I'm not against Hanafi either. It is good for back up against crazy muslims.


Now, I told you earlier that you never seen or barely seen a white man persecuted in other countries especially in Africa and ME. It is very rare. They applied methodologies of the major Islamic schools minus Hanafi. Also, if you are familiar with state of Florida, they have what they called "Stand Your Ground Law". A controversial law that breeds anarchy and injustice in the society. To explain this, it means, if you and I have argument in Florida and I push you with my bare hands, you have the right to gun me down or use force to kill me because I posed a threat to you.

See what I just said?. This sounds crazy to many people but it is real. Police will not arrest you for killing me because you are standing your ground. This law paves the way for white people in Florida to kill black people and many cases like this are currently docketed.

Let me give you another example but this is real one and it happened not long ago in Florida. A couple went to grocery store. They temporarily parked their car in the wrong spot (wheelchair lane) but his wife is sitting in the car while her boyfriend runs quickly to the store. A white man pulls up and tries to park in wheelchair lane which means he most likely has permit for that.

Seeing couple's car parked in the spot he pulls up to another space, gets out of his car and confronts the lady. Her man heard loud conversation and rushed out. He confronted white man as to why he's bothering his girlfriend?. We don't really know what they said to each other due to absence of audio. But the man pushed the white guy and he fell to the ground.

The next thing he did was he pulled his gun and shot dead the black man in the chest in the presence of his son and girlfriend.

This all captured on camera. Police refused to arrest the white man BECAUSE according to them, the black man posed a threat to him by pushing him. Therefore, the white guy was standing his ground. Simple right?.

But to you in Nigeria, this is nonsense, correct?.

Now I'm not trying to get into white and black thing. Just read the story and tell me what you think?.

Remember the black guy had no gun he only pushed him because he felt threatened someone was messing with his woman outside. To be honest he has no right to put his hands on him. But is that a deadly force?. Florida police said yes, it is.

But did the white guy has the right to confront the lady for parking in wrong parking spot to begin with?. Why not call the ticket agent or police to address it than taking law into his hands?.

So you can not make blanket statement that the Hadith perpetrates injustice. All these Western countries have their ways of protecting their citizens from being indicted or killed judicially in foreign land. They will instead extradite the accused or force the foreign govt to pardon him if it was so clear that their citizen was guilty.

But if you are foreign in their land and you commit offense, you will be indicted and sentenced. You will serve time. So the hadith is not wrong. You are wrong.

Now do I blame them for doing this to favor their own?. No. They do what is in their best interest. This is gray area Hadith 8 stands too.

Also remember that this same controversial Florida's Stand Your Ground Law aquitted many white people in Florida including George Zimmerman, a white guy who killed a black boy for walking in white neighborhood.

According to him, "I felt treatened".
