NATO used Aljazeera and CNN to show the world fake videos of Gadhafi troops killing civilians and bombing them from the air in order to get the UN resolution to go into war in Libya, just like the WMD lie used by Bush to invade Iraq no concrete evidence has been show of Gadafi killing his own people and not even one single bomb crater has been shown apart from those from NATO.
Many of theose typing here are single because they are afraid of the cost of marrying and starting a family while calling 'peanuts' the $60,000 given to all newly weds in Libya (thats N9million)

Let GEJ declare that all corpers or youths in Nigeria who get married between today and December 2011 will get N5m as family support and see if the number of spinsters in the churches and mosques praying daily for husbands will not disappear.

Iraqis thought Sadam was their problem, but now they wish for the Sadam years with regular suicide bombings and American forces committing atrocities. The war has just started among the different tribes and  the Libyans will soon realise what hit them.

Let me quote Venezuela President Hugo Chavez:

"Now president Obama said he will collaborate economically with the 'new government', which of course we do not recognize," Chavez said. Economic collaboration means stealing Libya's abundant wealth that had been shared around Africa without any debt nor borrowing from banks, giving Libya the highest standard of living in Africa.


Libyan citizens enjoyed perks which are the dream of those in the west: free unlimited health and dental care, free unlimited funding for education anywhere in the world, rent-free house, $60,000 to couples upon getting married. This was carried out in line with the "Third Universal Theory" as explained in The Green Book which Colonel Muammar Qaddafi authored after leaving government in 1979.

According to this formula, all natural resources belong to everyone, so the oil and other assets of Libya, revenue is totalled each year, and then after expenditure on all required free education, health, married couples start-up boost, free electricity supply to each home, the remaining money is then divided by the entire population and deposited into their personal bank accounts -- currently around $500 free money each month, whilst they also may additionally earn from any work they do without this being affected.
After Libya's assets abroad at the outset of the war on Libya earlier this year, including $32 billions ear-marked for the creation of an African Monetary Fund, African Central Bank, and African Investment Bank, which would have spelt the end of World Bank and International Monetary Fund control of the African continent, this September, Venezuela has set the way forward for other nations to withdraw funds from western banks as well as the gold reserves.



I weep for the Libyan people. I cant even imagine our own retarde.d president GEJ congratulating and recognising the Alqueda rebels on behalf of America.
The US embassy is in Aso Rock afterall he told them how inexperienced he was to lead nigeria before the last elections. I have not encountered any Nigerian who has said that he/she voted GEJ because of his intelligence without Tribal and Religious sentiments or just wanting something new from a different part of Nigeria.

Some say Libyans want freedom, when they are allowed to go abroad at will; have you ever seen a Libyan searching for job abroad or in Nigeria.
Women have the most freedom than any muslim country, getting to the highest ranks in the military, freedom to drive a car, freedom to study any course and not wear hijab or niqab.
Women are so powerful under Gadafi but the rebels will give them sharia and confine them to the houses and force them to cover their faces and flog them on the streets and stone them to fight if caught Being Intimate with a man without being married .

Your imbecilic president has rushed to recognise Alqueda rebels as the legitimate Govt of libya without having the guts to criticise the merciless bombing of helpless women, children and infrastructure over a six months period. Thousands more escaping the war were left to drawn by NATO in the mediteranian. The same rebels who were killing black skinned Libyans and Africans.
How can you compare Gadafi and our leaders.
Mention Awolowo an the Igbos will tell you how he used hunger as a weapon of war and the 20 pounds money in the bank.

Mention Gowon and people will tell you of the inexperienced young soldier who told the world that the problem of Nigeria is not money but how to spend it.

Mention Obasanjo and you will be reminded of the ingrate whom God saved from the jaws of death and given a second chance only for him to sell the nations valuable assets at rip off prices.

Mention IBB and you are reminded of the guy who introduced SAP and impoverished the citizens and stole gulf oil money.

Mention Abacha and you are reminded of the goggle wearing LovePeddler loving maniac who didnt know how to improve the economy nor provide electricity.

Mention Zik and some will tell you of a man who betrayed his people and aligned with the aggressors during the Biafra war.

Mention Sadauna and the people will remind you of a man who wanted to extend the Sultanate to the Atlantic ocean.

Mention Buhari and some will remind you that he is a religious fanatic who would watch his supporters kill infidels because he lost an election.

mention Murtala and you hear of a man whose intention was to take Nigeria to the OIC and Islamise the country.

Mention Shagari and you are told of the former head master who could not control the thieving ministers in his cabinet.

Mention Abdulsalam and you get a man who had to eliminate the winner of the June 12 elections as demanded by his northern oligarch.

mention Aguiyi and you get a man who didnt know the limit of when to trust your guards and enemies and become an easy pawn to be eliminated.

There is no comparison in terms of quality leadership and provision of welfare and good life to their people between Gadafi and the Nigerian leaders.

KnowAll:
A lot of people on this thread are missing d salient point of the discuss. Just like Hougbeny boughny of cote de voire who was a life President did he not build d largest church in d world at a whooping $300 million dollars in his country, [b]so Gadaffi's artificial River @ $25 billion falls into that category of maniacic spending since no one dear question their exuberance. Can Obasanjo, IBB or any of our past leaders embark on such phantom projects without reprisals.[/b]Nigeria has never had an absolute ruler in d mould of Gaddafi and so we cannot compare ourselves with Libya. Already Goodluck Jonathan approved d sacking of a Court of Appeal judge that alone is already heating up d polity how much more he building grandiose projects.

You seem to be retarde.d by half, Obasanjo spent $16b on power and we still have no power with no reprisals for him.
IBB stole gulf oil money and built his undergroun mansion in Minna with no reprisals.
Let Jonathan spend $25b like Gadafi who used his own to provide water for all parts of his desert country and give us in your words maniacic 100,000MW of electricity.
Gadafi remains the Lion of Africa, for resisting the colonialists and making us Africans to be seen as a strong people who are ready to be bombed than accept another colonisation. The west will soon realise that the cant get the oil easily, with no troops on the ground.
The battle in Libya has just started.

Article posted on Monday, at 0:35 AM.

On Saturday, 20 August 2011, at 8:00 PM, that is to say just after the Iftar, the breaking of the Ramadan fast, the Atlantic Alliance launched "Operation Mermaid."

The "mermaids" are the mosque loud speakers which were used by Al Qaeda to send the signal to start the revolt. Immediately, rebel "sleeper cells" went into action. Small, highly mobile, groups kept multiplying the attacks. The night combats left 350 dead and 3000 injured.

The situation stabilized on Sunday during the day.

A NATO ship docked near Tripoli unloaded heavy weapons and discharged Al Qaeda jihadists, supervised by officers of the Alliance.

The fighting raged again on Sunday night, reaching a rare degree of violence. NATO drones and planes have been bombarding in every direction. Helicopters are strafing people in the streets to clear the way for the jihadists.

In the evening, a convoy of official cars carrying prominent figures was attacked. It took refuge in the Rixos Hotel where the foreign press is staying. NATO would not dare bomb it to avoid killing its own journalists. The hotel where I lodge has been under heavy fire.

At 11:30 PM, there was nothing the Ministry of Health could do but to take note that the hospitals are saturated. By early evening there were 1300 additional casualties and 5000 injured.

NATO was entrusted by the Security Council to protect civilians. In fact, France and the UK are now back to resume their colonial massacres.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

American and European economies are crumbling and Gadhafi has so much gold reserves and funds in their banks and Libya also has vast reserves of oil and gas and owes no foreign bank a dime.
The tribal wars is just about to begin if Gadhafi falls, the West will be shocked this time to realise that the atmosphere for oil exploration will be a nightmare.
Forget all the Aljazeera and CNN propaganda, the rebels dont have full control of Tripoli and there is a counter offensive by the Libyan army at the moment which we have to wait and see how it all plays out.

The fear of Buharis CPC is the beginning of wisdom for GEJ and PDP. This is a fight between the parties.

ACN - Salami
Katsina-Alu -- PDP
NJC -- PDP

AUTA -- CPC

We are watching how things unfold, but this has seriously eroded our confidence as unlearned people on the profession and the judiciary as a whole. Any judgement coming from there now will be regarded as 'jankara market' court injunction.

Thats a funny one and a food for thought for Ngozi to know hat she is up against with the economic team. I believe that if gven the necessary freehand she will deliver.

GEJ being a smart guy introduced the proposed six year single tenure and it diverted away attention from Sanusis Islamic banking and Boko haram. Now the North is thinking that they may spend their time talking about Islamic banking and GEJ will have a ten year tenure and that is why its no longer a frontline news.

The IG must call his men to order. The problem with our Police starts from the flawed recruitment process where recruits are made to pay bribes or submit letters from prominent Nigerians and the first thing that comes to their mind is how to recover the amount spent on bribing their way in.
The matter should be taken to court and the policemen involved made to pay for the damage.

Cheats! Fake and adulterated products. Cheap labour!

I have been staring at your friends picture and thinks she is gorgeous?

CIA organised fake vaccination drive to get Osama bin Laden's family DNA:
Senior Pakistani doctor who organised vaccine programme in Abbottabad arrested by ISI for working with US agents
The CIA organised a fake vaccination programme in the town where it believed Osama bin Laden was hiding in an elaborate attempt to obtain DNA from the fugitive al-Qaida leader's family, a Guardian investigation has found.

As part of extensive preparations for the raid that killed Bin Laden in May, CIA agents recruited a senior Pakistani doctor to organise the vaccine drive in Abbottabad, even starting the "project" in a poorer part of town to make it look more authentic, according to Pakistani and US officials and local residents.

The doctor, Shakil Afridi, has since been arrested by the Inter-Services Intelligence agency (ISI) for co-operating with American intelligence agents.
Relations between Washington and Islamabad, already severely strained by the Bin Laden operation, have deteriorated considerably since then. The doctor's arrest has exacerbated these tensions. The US is understood to be concerned for the doctor's safety, and is thought to have intervened on his behalf.

The vaccination plan was conceived after American intelligence officers tracked an al-Qaida courier, known as Abu Ahmad al-Kuwaiti, to what turned out to be Bin Laden's Abbottabad compound last summer. The agency monitored the compound by satellite and surveillance from a local CIA safe house in Abbottabad, but wanted confirmation that Bin Laden was there before mounting a risky operation inside another country.
DNA from any of the Bin Laden children in the compound could be compared with a sample from his sister, who died in Boston in 2010, to provide evidence that the family was present.

So agents approached Afridi, the health official in charge of Khyber, part of the tribal area that runs along the Afghan border.
The doctor went to Abbottabad in March, saying he had procured funds to give free vaccinations for hepatitis B. Bypassing the management of the Abbottabad health services, he paid generous sums to low-ranking local government health workers, who took part in the operation without knowing about the connection to Bin Laden. Health visitors in the area were among the few people who had gained access to the Bin Laden compound in the past, administering polio drops to some of the children.

Its getting more difficult to trust Western Aid donors thisdays, at least the Pfizer experience is still fresh in their minds and the lies used to invade Libya for which Nigeria was tricked into signing is still ongoing.

Goodluck should Die-logue with Boko haram with Tinubu sitting at the middle as a mediator. Good thinking good product!

No go areas for Southern corpers:
Bornostan

Jigawastan
Northern Kadunistan

Kai walahi i no fit talk! I wonder how somebody in his right senses with all the news around will leave Lagos to go and serve in Bornostan or Maiduguristan as a youth corp member because you want discharge certificate to get a job in Nigeria when people like Diezani Allison-Madueke is appointed Petroleum minister without doing the now so-called NYSC?

I have always respected the NASFAT group, you need to visit them at their seminar centers even as a Christian and you would not believe the kind of highly intellectual discussions that this guys undertake in queens English and then you realise why other muslims especially our northern brothers see them as infidels because of their acceptance of western education.
You sit and listen to them and you wonder if muslims can be as thoghtful as they are because many of us believe that Islamic scholars are just for those bearded mallams.
Imagine being in a setting where you can actually ask questions about Islam and get answers without causing offence to anyone.
This is a good move by NASFAT to come out openly and condenm evil at own risk. Wish Islam is like it is practised by NASFAT followers some of whom I have as friends.

Kaduna and Gombe are quite clean, Ilorin is not so bad. But when you mention neatest cities in Nigeria Calabar comes first, but Enugu may soon overtake Calabar from what I have seen there recently.
Aba still holds the unenviable record as the dirtiest city in Nigeria. I hope Gov T.A Orji is listening?

I wont blame any parent who doent want their wards to serve in certain areas as a precautionary measure. It is unadvisable for a youth corp member to wear his/her uniform on the streets of Maiduguri under the present situation because you stand the chance of being gunned by motorcycle riding AK47 clutching Boko Haram members who may see them as Govt agents.
Many CPC supporters still view corpers as part of the rigging mechanism used to deny their Mai Gaskiya his presidential ambition and are very bitter about it.

Advice: if you must serve in some northern states, after orientation camp, dump your NYSC uniform in a bag and go to your place of primary assignment in kaftans and probably grow a beard (bia bia) then for the ladies learn to wear the hijab (veil), free flowing trousers or wrapper, long sleeve shirts that falls below your butts and hopefully you will be fine by not attracting unnecessary attention as an arni (infidel) on yourselves.

Avoid any writeup or booklet in arabic alphabet or you will be wrongly accused of desecrating the Koran.

For you Christian preachers, please dont go around evangilizing and arguing over religious matters or you may be acused of abusing the prophet (Apostacy) and that could attract mob action.

Avoid having affairs with their daughters or you may be accused of defiling her with infidel blood, but they are happy when they see their men dating Christian ladies as they view that as a conquest with the possibility that if it leads to marriage the Christian lady will bear kids that will follow Islam (Maryam Babangida) and even be converted.

Avoid using Almajiri kids to wash and clean your clothes and house as they have the tendency to claim that you were seen cleaning your anus with a sheet from the holy book and that will spell doom.

Avoid alcohol joints as they are seen as a place of gathering for infidels that could be attacked for a reward from Allah.

Avoid INEC electoral duties.

Avoid passing through the Mosque area especially on Fridays when others are bowing and you are walking majestically across their front the Hisbah (Islamic police) may come for and you could be dealth with severely.

When you hear shouts of Allahu Akbar continuosly different from the normal call to prayer just sense trouble and make your way out of that location, it could be a call for mob action.

There are other rules that you must keep and you will have a memorable service year in the North and in the end you may even wish to remain there and pick a job.

There is dam very close to that school which can be developed by the FG but have been abandoned by the River Basin Authority. The school was established to make profit and has every right to seek for power from different sources within the ambit of the law. States should be allowed to develop and distribute power using the resources within the region such as hydro and gas; PHCN monopoly should be scrapped.

Ifa? that one na church or na babalawo

Gbawe:
Wrong move IMO. Boko Haram will take a lot of encouragement from thinking they can bring the seat of power (Abuja) to its knees . This move will fuel their lust for further chaos. I think the dangerous message being sent out is that , in the Nigeria of today, violence gets you what you want from a Government that capitulates instead of act. With GEJ's 'carry everyone along' style and 'settling' approach we might even see some Boko Haramites gaining political office soon.

Yes correct!
They think that announcing that the city should be locked down by 10pm is the right approach? That is capitulating and playing into the hands of the haramites, afterall what time of the day was the police headquaters bombed? 11am and not 11pm.

SEFAGO:
Funmi Iyanda definitely has a thick Yorugbotic accent to be honest and would be very difficult to understand to non-Nigerians. Its nothing to be ashamed off (I have one too ) but she would be out of place on the CNN. How can you have a presenter that no one understands

A no no for the CNN

Whats so special about CNN thisdays? The fact is that a recent research after NATO bombing of Libya shows that most people no longer believe 70% of there stories, Do you believe all you watch on CNN and Aljazeera and BBC? BBC has closed many of there international bureaus due to loss of listenership.
Have you listened to there reporters in Pakistan, Libya and Syria bringing the news to you in heavily accented english, do they sound better than Funmi?

At her level she shouldnt take any crap reporter or presenter job from CNN except Piers Morgans Job or Richard Quest means Business

The strangest and most untrue thing that can be said about Islam is that it is a Religion of Peace.  If every standard by which the West is judged and condemned (slavery, imperialism, intolerance, women's rights, sexuality, warfare, ) were applied equally to Islam, the verdict would be absolutely devastating.  Islam never gives up what it conquers, be it religion, culture, language or life.  Neither does it make apologies or any real effort at moral progress.  It is the least open to dialogue and the most self-absorbed.  It is convinced of its own perfection, yet brutally shuns self-examination and represses criticism.

This is what makes the verses of violence so dangerous.  They are given the weight of divine command.  While Muslim terrorists take them as literally as anything else in the Quran, and understand that Islam is incomplete without Jihad, moderates offer little to contradict them - outside of opinion.  Indeed, what do they have?  Speaking of peace and love may win over the ignorant, but when every twelfth verse of Islam's holiest book either speaks to Allah's hatred for non-Muslims or calls for their death, forced conversion, or subjugation, it's little wonder that sympathy for terrorism runs as deeply as it does in the broader community - even if most Muslims personally prefer not to interpret their religion in this way.

In fact, many Muslims are simply unaware of the Quran's near absence of verses that preach universal non-violence.  This is because their understanding of Islam comes from what they are taught by others.  In the West, it is typical for Muslims to come to believe that their religion must be like Christianity - preaching the New Testament virtues of peace, love, and tolerance - because Muslims are taught that Islam is supposed to be superior in every way.  They are somewhat surprised and embarrassed to learn that the evidence of the Quran and the bloody history of Islam are very much in contradiction to this.

Others simply accept the violence.  In 1991, a Palestinian couple in America was convicted of stabbing their daughter to death for being too Westernized (Boko Haram comes to mind in the Nigerian context).  A family friend came to their defense, excoriating the jury for not understanding the "culture", claiming that the father was merely following "the religion" and saying that the couple had to "discipline their daughter or lose respect." (source).


There are just too many Muslims who take the Quran literally, and too many others who couldn't care less about the violence done in the name of Islam.

The reasons for intolerance and violence are obvious and begin with the Quran.  Few verses of Islam's most sacred text can be construed to fit the contemporary virtues of religious tolerance and universal brotherhood.  Those that do are earlier "Meccan" verses that are obviously abrogated by later ones.  This is why Muslim apologists speak of the "risks" of trying to interpret the Quran without their "assistance" - even while claiming that it is a perfect book.

Far from being mere history or theological construct, the violent verses of the Quran have played a key role in actual massacre and genocide.  This includes the brutal slaughter of tens of millions of Hindus for five centuries beginning around 1000 AD with Mahmud of Ghazni's bloody conquest, including the massacre of those who defending their temples from destruction.  Buddhism was very nearly wiped off the Indian subcontinent.  Judaism and Christianity met the same fate (albeit more slowly) in areas conquered by Muslim armies, including the Middle East, North Africa and parts of Europe, including today's Turkey.  Zoroastrianism, the ancient religion of a proud Persian people is despised by Muslims and barely survives in modern Iran.

So ingrained is violence in the religion that Islam has never really stopped being at war, either with other religions or with itself.

The Quran contains at least 109 verses that call Muslims to war with nonbelievers.  Some are quite graphic, with commands to chop off heads and fingers and kill infidels wherever they may be hiding.  Muslims who do not join the fight are called 'hypocrites' and warned that Allah will send them to Hell if they do not join the slaughter.
Unfortunately, there are very few verses of tolerance and peace to abrogate or even balance out the many that call for nonbelievers to be fought and subdued until they either accept humiliation, convert to Islam, or are killed.  This proclivity toward violence - and Muhammad's own martial legacy - has left a trail of blood and tears across world history.

The Quran:
Quran (2:191-193) - "And slay them wherever ye find them, and drive them out of the places whence they drove you out, for persecution [of Muslims] is worse than slaughter [of non-believers], and fight them until persecution is no more, and religion is for Allah."  There is a good case to be made that the textual context of this particular passage is defensive war, even if the historical context was not.  However, there are also two worrisome pieces to this verse.  The first is that the killing of others is authorized in the event of "persecution" (a qualification that is ambiguous at best).  The second is that fighting may persist until "religion is for Allah."  The example set by Muhammad is not reassuring.

Quran (2:244) - "Then fight in the cause of Allah, and know that Allah Heareth and knoweth all things."

Quran (2:216) - "Fighting is prescribed for you, and ye dislike it. But it is possible that ye dislike a thing which is good for you, and that ye love a thing which is bad for you. But Allah knoweth, and ye know not."  Not only does this verse establish that violence can be virtuous, but it also contradicts the myth that fighting is intended only in self-defense, since the audience was obviously not under attack at the time.  From the Hadith, we know that Muhammad was actually trying to motivate his people into raiding caravans with this verse.

Quran (3:56) - "As to those who reject faith, I will punish them with terrible agony in this world and in the Hereafter, nor will they have anyone to help."

Quran (3:151) - "Soon shall We cast terror into the hearts of the Unbelievers, for that they joined companions with Allah, for which He had sent no authority".  This speaks directly of polytheists, yet it also includes Christians, since they believe in the Trinity (ie. what Muhammad incorrectly believed to be 'joining companions to Allah').

Quran (4:74) - "Let those fight in the way of Allah who sell the life of this world for the other. Whoso fighteth in the way of Allah, be he slain or be he victorious, on him We shall bestow a vast reward."  The martyrs of Islam are unlike the early Christians, led meekly to the slaughter.  These Muslims are killed in battle, as they attempt to inflict death and destruction for the cause of Allah.  Here is the theological basis for today's suicide bombers.
Quran (4:76) - "Those who believe fight in the cause of Allah…"

Quran (4:89) - "They but wish that ye should reject Faith, as they do, and thus be on the same footing (as they): But take not friends from their ranks until they flee in the way of Allah (From what is forbidden). But if they turn renegades, seize them and slay them wherever ye find them; and (in any case) take no friends or helpers from their ranks."

Quran (4:95) - "Not equal are those believers who sit (at home) and receive no hurt, and those who strive and fight in the cause of Allah with their goods and their persons. Allah hath granted a grade higher to those who strive and fight with their goods and persons than to those who sit (at home). Unto all (in Faith) Hath Allah promised good: But those who strive and fight Hath He distinguished above those who sit (at home) by a special reward,-"  This passage criticizes "peaceful" Muslims who do not join in the violence, letting them know that they are less worthy in Allah's eyes.  It also demolishes the modern myth that "Jihad" doesn't mean holy war in the Quran, but rather a spiritual struggle.  Not only is the Arabic word used in this passage, but it is clearly not referring to anything spiritual, since the physically disabled are given exemption.  (The Hadith reveals the context of the passage to be in response to a blind man's protest that he is unable to engage in Jihad and this is reflected in other translations of the verse).

Quran (4:104) - "And be not weak hearted in pursuit of the enemy; if you suffer pain, then surely they (too) suffer pain as you suffer pain, "  Is pursuing an injured and retreating enemy really an act of self-defense?

Quran (5:33) - "The punishment of those who wage war against Allah and His messenger and strive to make mischief in the land is only this, that they should be murdered or crucified or their hands and their feet should be cut off on opposite sides or they should be imprisoned; this shall be as a disgrace for them in this world, and in the hereafter they shall have a grievous chastisement"

Quran (8:12) - "I will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve. Therefore strike off their heads and strike off every fingertip of them"  No reasonable person would interpret this to mean a spiritual struggle.

Quran (8:15) - "O ye who believe! When ye meet those who disbelieve in battle, turn not your backs to them. (16)Whoso on that day turneth his back to them, unless maneuvering for battle or intent to join a company, he truly hath incurred wrath from Allah, and his habitation will be hell, a hapless journey's end."

Quran (8:39) - "And fight with them until there is no more persecution and religion should be only for Allah"  From the historical context we know that the "persecution" spoken of here was simply the refusal by the Meccans to allow Muhammad to enter their city and perform the Haj.  Other Muslims were able to travel there, just not as an armed group, since Muhammad declared war on Mecca prior to his eviction.  The Meccans were also acting in defense of their religion, since it was Muhammad's intention to destroy their idols and establish Islam by force (which he later did).  Hence the critical part of this verse is to fight until "religion is only for Allah."  According to Ibn Ishaq (324), Muhammad justified the violence further by explaining that "Allah must have no rivals."
Quran (8:57) - "If thou comest on them in the war, deal with them so as to strike fear in those who are behind them, that haply they may remember."

Quran (8:59-60) - "And let not those who disbelieve suppose that they can outstrip (Allah's Purpose). Lo! they cannot escape.  Make ready for them all thou canst of (armed) force and of horses tethered, that thereby ye may dismay the enemy of Allah and your enemy."

Quran (8:65) - "O Prophet, exhort the believers to fight, "

Quran (9:5) - "So when the sacred months have passed away, then slay the idolaters wherever you find them, and take them captives and besiege them and lie in wait for them in every ambush, then if they repent and keep up prayer and pay the poor-rate, leave their way free to them."  According to this verse, the best way of staying safe from Muslim violence is to convert to Islam.  Prayer (salat) and the poor tax (zakat) are among the religions Five Pillars.

Quran (9:14) - "Fight them, Allah will punish them by your hands and bring them to disgrace, "

Quran (9:20) - "Those who believe, and have left their homes and striven with their wealth and their lives in Allah's way are of much greater worth in Allah's sight. These are they who are triumphant."  The "striving" spoken of here is Jihad.

Quran (9:29) - "Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, nor hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger, nor acknowledge the religion of Truth, (even if they are) of the People of the Book, until they pay the Jizya with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued."  "People of the Book" refers to Christians and Jews.  This was one of the final "revelations" from Allah and it set in motion the tenacious military expansion, in which Muhammad's companions managed to conquer two-thirds of the Christian world in just the next 100 years.  Islam is intended to dominate all other people and faiths.

Quran (9:30) - "And the Jews say: Ezra is the son of Allah; and the Christians say: The Messiah is the son of Allah; these are the words of their mouths; they imitate the saying of those who disbelieved before; may Allah destroy them; how they are turned away!"

Quran (9:38-39) - "O ye who believe! what is the matter with you, that, when ye are asked to go forth in the cause of Allah, ye cling heavily to the earth? Do ye prefer the life of this world to the Hereafter? But little is the comfort of this life, as compared with the Hereafter. Unless ye go forth, He will punish you with a grievous penalty, and put others in your place."  This is a warning to those who refuse to fight, that they will be punished with Hell.

Other than the fact that Muslims haven't killed every non-Muslim under their domain, there is very little else that they can point to as proof that theirs is a peaceful, tolerant religion.  Where Islam is in dominant (as in the Middle East and Pakistan) religious minorities suffer brutal persecution with little resistance.  Where Islam is in the minority (as in Thailand, the Philippines and Europe) there is the constant threat of terror if Muslim demands are not met.

Allahu Ak[b]bomb[/b]!  Goje piss for him knicker wen him hear of the suicide attack against Alhaji Ringim and decided to quickly tender his appology to the BOMBko Haram Islamists; he doesnt want his body to be used by anyone to claim 72 virgins (hurris) in 'paradise'

Ghadafi refused their aid in building the sophisticated infrastructure that the British are bombing back to stone age and Nigeria and other African countries blessed with resources are wallowing in poverty.
Just like Julius Malema (ANC youth leader) said recently 'Democracy and freedom without control over natural resources is lame'. We dont need their lifestyle; because if you attempt for here you go hia wien!
