U r indeed a true flag bearer of islam..must u pass indirect insults??
So advising you to stop being silly and to use your head is now an insult even though you have still not answered the question: Why do you think a muslim will govern america using the Quran and not the american constitution? The point is not that seemingly unpalatable verses are not in the Quran, the question is why on earth will a supposedly educated person think an elected american president will govern the US using the quran and not the american constitution.

BTW for every verse you qoute from the Quran, I have also quoted twice as much seemingly unpalatable verses from the bible in the past (both old and new testaments). But I have out-grown that silliness now. Because I now know any book can be quoted out of context.

NOBODYY:
Can Muslims be Good Americans?
Can a devout Muslim be an American patriot and a loyal citizen? Consider this:
Theologically, no. Because his allegiance is to Allah, the moon god of Arabia.
Scripturally, no. Because his allegiance is to the five pillars of Islam and the Qur’an.
Geographically, no. Because his allegiance is to Mecca, to which he turns in prayer 5 times a day.
Socially, no. Because his allegiance to Islam forbids him to make friends with Christians or Jews.
Politically, no. Because he must submit to the mullah (spiritual leaders), who teach annihilation of Israel and destruction of America, the great Satan.
Domestically, no, because he is instructed to marry four women and beat and scourge his wife when she disobeys him. (Qur’an 4:34). Can you see a court case brewing here?
Religiously, no. Because no other religion is accepted by his Allah except Islam. (Qur’an, 2:256)
Intellectually, no, because he cannot accept the American Constitution since it is based on Biblical principles(if u doubt google is ur friend) and he believes the Bible to be corrupt.
Philosophically, no, because Islam, Muhammad, and the Qur’an do not allow freedom of religion and expression.
Spiritually, no, because when we declare “one nation under God,” the Christian’s God is loving and kind, while Allah is NEVER referred to as our heavenly father, nor is he ever called Love in the Qur’an’s 99 excellent names. Democracy and Islam cannot co-exist.
Every Muslim government is either dictatorial or autocratic. Therefore after much study and deliberation perhaps they should be very suspicious of ALL MUSLIMS in their country. They obviously cannot be both good Muslims and good Americans.
Call it what you wish…it’s still the truth
Bros, pls use your head or at least pretend to use your head.
Whoever that is elected will not rule by the holy book he/she believes in.
Did bush/clinton and other past presidents ruled by the bible or any other holy book for that matter other than their constitution?
There are far more crude verses in the bible than the ones you qouted. How many of those were used by the past presidents.
Why do u think a muslim will rule america with Quran?

Which means if the majority decides to vote for a muslim, then carson can take a dive into the pacific.
I just wonder how such an id!otic statement can come from the well-respected Carson.
Whoever is elected will govern US by their constitution and not by the holy book of the president.
Has the Christian Presidents turned america to a christian nation? Obama is a Christian (at least according to wiki), has he turned US to a Christian nation?
Americans themselves have castigated Carson on facebook https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=10153110441612217&id=228735667216&refid=17
and here we are Nigerians are still supporting the dumb as$ that want to rule the seat of freedm/democracy. And Why must everything be sensationalised? As at the last time I checked, their was no muslim candidate. So why the comment?

The injustices don't to humanity in the name of islamophobia is just sickening. The other time christian worshipers were shot dead in their church by a white man and the world just looked away as if it was normal. We are talking about people worshiping peacefully in their church!! The terrorist title that was initially attached the the Oslo shooting was suddenly changed to MAD MAN when the perpetrator turned out to be a White Breivik. One would have expected the same amount of global outrage that greeted the Charlie shooting. If a muslim or a black had been involved in either or both cases, it probably would let to another round of war on terror.

PoliticsRe: Boko Haram’s Deadly Attacks And The Whole Truth - Thisdaylive! by gists:
The military (especially the army) are our only hope of defeating BH.
Without a strong military personnels/tactic/equipment/ (backed up by economic/social logistics) it will be virtually impossible to win the war.
This write up is obviously from an anti PMB propagandist. We are all living witnesses of how BH USED to chase our soldiers, capture army bases and seize their weapons. BH once controlled a sizable portion of Nigerian territory at some point.

The story has CHANGED SIGNIFICANTLY! BH has now gone into the hit-n-run typical style of terrorist operation around the world compared to head-on confrontation with the NA a few months ago. We used to hear of BH going to schools and staying for hours killing innocent children. We heard of BH kidnapping over 200 girls. How easy do you think they can do that now (i.e moving hundreds of captives in lorries without being confronted). Anybody that expect BH to be wiped out within this short time just being mischievous to say to say the least.

That being said, their is still A LOT OF ROOMS FOR IMPROVEMENT. I blamed the previous administration for not blocking the source of finance to BH. That is still not done. I believe war is expensive and without money for BH to pay for weapons, replenishment of artillery and logistics, the battle will be easier for our brave soldiers. I expect some of their financiers and logistic providers to be cooling off in prison now. Although some of BH supply route have been identified and blocked and grass-root logistic providers arrested (a significant improvement from the past administration incompetence), it is still not enough. The big ogas at the top need to be in maximum prison. I believe shekau reports to some "big men". These are the main people that should be in prison at least.

In all, BH is obviously still a major treat to lives and properties, but to say BH is still as strong as ever is just plain stu!pd or at least mischievous.

PoliticsRe: 11 Facts That Will Make You Rethink 9/11 Attack. by gists: 4:13pm On Sep 19, 2015
I don't believe that much of conspiracy theories. But I studied physics in secondary school. And the collapse of the building just don't tally with physics and engineering basic principles. You have a tall structure with a high center of gravity. If the structure is struck near the top as in the case of WTOs, their is no reason under the sun (considering basic physics and engineering principles) why the building should collapse completely into its footprint. At best, part of it will collapse in the direction where the build's structural balance has been compromised. I don't know if explosives are used. That is left for the expert to prove. But a plane colliding with a tall building near the top should not and cannot make the entire building collapse COMPLETELY and SYMMETRICALLY into its footprint.
As for building 7 which was never hit by a plane, I am tempted to say the shock wave of the previously collapse buildings might have affected the foundation and could (although far fetched) have caused the collapse. One can also argue how come the shockwave didn't affect other buildings in the area? Apart from that explanation, it has to be a spiritual force that brought down building 7 if explosives are to be ruled out.

All these theories don't even pain/concerns me. The one that baffles me is the fact that Americans themselves who lost loved ones are open to the possibility that it may be an "inside job" while our brothers and sisters here in naija are so sure that the terrorists could not have been aided by insiders.

PoliticsRe: A Growing Trend Of Islamophobia In Nigeria - Yusuf Jimoh Aweda. by gists: 4:27pm On Sep 18, 2015
Religion intolerance has always been in Nigeria.
But PDP and the drunkard fisherman that wanted to hang on to power by all means (even though he had nothing to show) thought the best thing to do was to hammer on the fragile religious fault-line in the country. GEJ and PDP really took Nigeria back to the stone ages (forget the BH terrorists - there have always been ragheads like that in the country without things getting to that level).

That 1d!ot called FFK came and said 80% of APC governors are muslims - I mean what was he trying to achieve? Is it not to instigate islamophobia? Southwest that has never really cared about the religion of the governors suddenly started asking choosing governors based on religion. Imagine someone asking what faith does Gov. Ambode belong to when he won the APC primaries in election. T

The religious divide/intollerance (and by extension islamophobia) has never that pronounced in the country until the last set of PDP executhieves came to power. This is the greatest disservice in opinion and I can't thank God enough that PDP/GEJ were voted out. The "mind-reconditioning" and reconsiliation will begin after a while.

Now that makes sense.
Basically, the first 6 chats shows the declining trend of major exchanges around the world for the past 6 months. (i.e South Africa, Brazil, canada, Australia and China). So people people trying despirately in their failed bid to bash PMB on economy stylishly ignore the facts that the world is partially experiencing another global melt-down.

jaybee3:
Okay let me engage you a bit so you don't pass your ignorance further
First and foremost, you can't compare markets in isolation without understanding how the indices are weighted.
As an example, the FTSE is heavily weighted by financial stocks hence the reason why the turmoil in the market isn't being represented fully in it's indices.
The dax is heavily weighted by the manufacturing giants and a slow down in china and possibly US will bring the indices down
You need to try and understand how Nigeria's indices is weighted and break it down into segments. After doing that, ask yourself which segment is actually making the indices under-perform due to its heavy weighting.
Your ignorance obviously knows no bounds. It did not occur to you that their is a common outcome to all the countries shown irrespective of whatever it is weighted against. Many countries around the workd are experiencing another meltdown albeit not as bitting as that of 2007/2008. Even canada that has superior economy is feeling the effect. Just keep f0oling yourself.

PoliticsBuhari's Economy Comparison - Pictures by gists(op): 1:58pm On Sep 11, 2015
Forgive the lack of words in this thread. It is due to two things: First is that I am not an economist and second is that they say a picture says more than a thousand words.

Many wailers have been having a feast on the supposed poor performance of PMB on the economy. But they refuse to put it in perspective relatively. Either because of pure mischief or stack ignorance (typical of saTANoids). Two main point they hang on to is that Nigerian investors have lost billions in investment and that the naira is on a free fall https://www.nairaland.com/2590889/see-what-happening-nigerias-economy

Well, I have not much to say but just to share these charts. However, suffices to say that stock markets around the world (EVEN CANADA and Australia) are not having a good run at the moment. Just take a look at the 6-month chart for the various countries. And of course, the pictures for the historical exchange rate for naira speak for itself.
