Islam for Muslims / Re: Curious About Islam,facts About Islam. by illusion2: 1:35pm On Jan 04, 2011 |
Very clear. Then you need to stop saying 'unjust killing' 'killing of innocents' etc Because anyone can claim he/she has determined the other party is 'guilty' and hence killing that person is justifiable . I'm sure you catch my drift. |
Islam for Muslims / Re: Curious About Islam,facts About Islam. by illusion2: 1:04pm On Jan 04, 2011 |
Lagosboy: All you have said makes perfect sense bro + you are probably the most logical muslim I've ever met online. However I always shudder at comments like muslims cannot partake in 'unjust killing' , or kill 'innocent souls','civilains' or 'non-guilty parties'. Why do muslism have to qualify their statements. Can taking some certain lives be justified in Islam Why not 'you are not allowed to take anybody's life- shi kenan? Are you confirming every muslim is automatically a 'soldier of Allah' or what? Because I honestly can't understand how a human being can determine who is 'innocent' or not. What is the purpose of the judicial system,if I can pronounce death on the 'guilty' and take their lives in the 'justice of Allah'. Please clarify dear brother because Im very concerned |

Amalaaba: I think you people should really stop banding this ‘1.5 billion’ number all around. It’s not accurate & is at best an aspiration. Note that the number of ‘muslims’ includes ‘kaffirs’ & apostates like Shia, Ahmadiyya , Alevi I agree with your statement that God created all of us the way we are & we should respect everyone. I NEVER said all muslims are violent,they are not ! I live with muslims & I appreciate their humility. I am trying to tackle the logic that there’s a ‘war on Islam’. Amalaaba:Portions of the Bible are violent-correct,but we read it in context. The Bible like the Koran is full of history,admonishment,cultural practices. Nobody said the Old Testament is not part of our Bible,but we seperate history from divine directives. Also we follow the law of the land ,wherever we are. This is the main reason I’m here, you should learn to seperate human policy from religion. Hiroshima was not bombed because the Bible or Jehovah said so. Just like Saddam did not use the Koran to invade Kuwait nor Jordan when it was fighting the Palestinian feyadeen in the 60s. War is started by human beings. The problem the whole world has with muslim radicals is that they claim they are on a God given mission & they have rewards for killing ‘kaffirs’. Also get your facts right – about 80% of America is Christian and protestants are far more than 70 milion. Stop throwing numbers around. As per my post above -Israel’s hold on America is less of religion & more of economic power. Octavia Nasir the victim you are quoting is a CHRISTIAN ! Amalaaba: I have made this point clear above. America invaded Iraq due (foolishly) to prompting from Iraqis in exile (Muslims). Of the 1million people killed or displaced in Iraq,95% are killed by Muslims. They even blow themselves up in mosques, religious processions etc. If all muslims stopped killing muslims,the deaths in Iraq will stop. Amalaaba:Wrong again. Fashola mother is Christian tho’ his father is Muslim. Himself & his siblings were all christians until he decided at the age of 21 to become a muslim,all his siblings are still christians. Yes they are tolerant,if all muslims were like these Amalaaba: You have just stated the correct thing. Politicians are the same. Never look at life strictly from the lens of Islam, otherwise you will be misled. Remember Saudi wants Osama bin Hiding dead as well. |

This is the problem. . .never equate a country with 'Islam'. Many muslims fail to make this distinction- even the terrorists can't make this distinction. No matter what anyone tries to tell you to the contrary ,you are first & foremost a black man. Although the Wahabbis might make you think all muslims are equal,but you need to visit Saudi Arabia or any other 'muslim country' to know this is at best a pipe dream . 1. The greatest enemy of Iran apart from Israel is Saudi Arabia (due to the Shia/Sunni divide) wikileaks gives more insight into this when the saudis are quoted as asking the US to bomb Iran. 2. Saddam was a threat to all his neighbours- he fought a devastating 7 year war with Iran ,where over 1 million people died. He invaded Kuwait and they pillaged,violated and destroyed many muslim lives & property. When this happened ,it wasn't seen as a war on Islam ?? But all of a sudden the US (with active support of Iraqis in exile),[/b]removes Saddam [b]for the benefit of muslims and its a war on Islam Kindly note that I was & still am against the war in Iraq. 3. I am also not happy about the blind US support for Israel on the occupied arab lands,but its less of a religious issue & more of a political one. If it was religious & the US was a 'christian' country,they Israel shold have been destroyed by now. Remember the Jews killed our Lord Jesus Christ. The Nazis were 'christians'. So its not religious - 20% of palestinians are christian. Its a political problem which requires a political solution & not terrorism. |

@beta Things, I don't want to go into an endless cycle of arguments. I appreciate the urge to defend your faith,but it does not help when you try to look for 'christian examples' of terrorism to justify the evil being perpetuated in the name of Islam. As I have stressed,learn to seperate POLITICS from RELIGION. All muslims find this difficult. All other comments trying to justify what is wrong or attempts to re-write history will not gain any traction. Even a fellow muslim -LagosShia has highlighted the link between pre-Islamic arab aggressiveness & modern Wahabi/Al Qaeda theology. Just stick to the standard narrative- these terrorists practice a corrupted version of Islam & not try to look for 'christian ' examples of terrorists. Hardly a day goes by without someone blowing up him/herself in the name of Allah. |

uplawal: This is exactly my point. God should be the judge not mere humans? The quote you have ascribed to me has been mis-interpreted,I would never insult anyone's beliefs. How can God make a mistake. . . the point Im trying to make is that it is YOU (many muslims & christians alike) that ascribe all things to God. |

LagosShia:Well said bro. I will go a step further & say a good number of the 'Islamic practices' are actually arabic pagan cultural practices. e.g Tawaff during the hajj. Beheading and stoning people etc Remii:Samson is also in the Koran. Suicide bombing of large civilian population centres like we see it today started with the Tamil Tigers(Hindus). The 'believers' obviously like to learn from 'Kafirs' |
Islam for Muslims / Re: Muslim Terrorists? by illusion2: 1:33pm On Jan 01, 2011 |
This is the problem. . .never equate a country with 'Islam'. They are 2 very different things. 1. The greatest enemy of Iran apart from Israel is Saudi Arabia (due to the Shia/Sunni divide) wikileaks gives more insight into this when the saudis are quoted as asking the US to bomb Iran. 2. Saddam was athreat to all his neighbours- he fought a devastating 7 year war with Iran ,where over 1 million people died. He invaded Kuwait and they pillaged,violated and destroyed many muslim lives & property. When this happened ,it wasn't seen as a war on Islam ?? But all of a sudden the US (with active support of Iraqis in exile),removes Saddam for the benefit of muslims and its a war on Islam Kindly note that I was & still am against the war in Iraq. 3.

uplawal:Hey ! take it easy. . . don't insult your seniors,ok ? According to muslims,christians are idolators and are not worshipping 'Allah' rather they are worshipping 3-in-1 gods. Also why is Allah so prone to being mis-interpreted ? Maybe you're the one who's confused To answer you second question,I'm here to understand muslims & hopefully muslims can understand me as well. Rather than point fingers ,lets open our ears and minds. |

uplawal:But they pray for the new year. Whatever the origins of the dating system,its the date everyone (muslims,christains,hindus,chinese,persians,Nigerians etc)recognises & thats the date on your passport. So trying to think Allah will be offended if you recognise today as January 1,I think we are ascribing politics to an infallable God. |

uplawal:Well he's the one to confirm if he's my brother or not. The same Odua blood flows in our blood stream. We don't need some arabs or english people to tell us otherwise (or some 'porknosing' alhaja for that matter ) I'm proud of my naija roots by the way. And stop this hellfire rubbish. . .or else I'll send you there myself. uplawal: When I was much younger,we had this alhaji on our street who would ask his children not to respond when greeted happy new year . But all his five children celebrated birthdays in April,May & September every year. I wonder how he came about those dates. I live in the miidle east & the arabs (direct descendants of the prophet) say special rakkahs just after 12 midnight ,asking Allah for guidance in the new year. You yoruba people that they gave the religion are taking things to another level |
Islam for Muslims / Re: You Must Be A a Muslim- Sure! by illusion2: 10:07am On Jan 01, 2011 |
You are contradicting yourself : First you say : uplawal: Then you state categorically : uplawal: You need to let me know which is which. If Allah knows best how can you a mere human being be so sure ? As per the Tawaff,how can Allah ask you to continue what idol worshippers were doing ? However ,if the 'idol worshippers' were doing what Allah had ordained before,maybe they were not really idol worshippers then? |

@BetaThings-You my friend are wrong & I'll deconstruct your argument in detail. Please note that I live with muslims & I love & respect them. BetaThings: You are wrong- Please read this link by Chivas a non-profit in the UK and let me know if you cannot identify Wahabism http://www.civitas.org.uk/press/prcs87.php BetaThings: This is another misnomer- There’s no such thing as a ‘christian nation’ governed by the Bible. Whereas we have countless ‘Muslim nations’ governed by Quran. That’s the difference. Anything a secular state does should be read within the context of secularity & as you say ‘the beast in us’. You go read the Bosnian wars again & you find how many Christian Bosinan serbs died fighting to defend Sarajevo on behalf of their Bosnian muslims brothers. The war was essentially an ethnic one as the Bosnian muslims are actually serbs who converted to Islam during Ottoman occupation. BetaThings: Saudi sponsorship of the wahabi doctrine did not start today & they are only reaping the fruits of what they have sown over the years. So I may add is America which sponsored some of these terrorists in their fight against communism. And so will Nigeria if we do not check this pernicious cancer,because young unemployed men will be brainwashed into believing Heaven is a better option for them via martyrdom. BetaThings: I do not support America in anyway because I think they are arrogant & support (until recently) most corrupt politicians in Africa. However,I don’t know how old you are but you need to do some more research. Osama bin Hiding’s problem had nothing to do with the invasion of Iraq. It came as a result of being snubbed by the Saudi Royal family during the liberation of Kuwait (a muslim country) from the clutches of another muslim leader (saddam). Osama was an American ally up until that point- do read up about the mujahedeen in Afghanistan. Your point on Saro Wiwa is very poignant- rather than make this issues religious-it should be political. As I pointed out in some other thread, I would have understood if Abdulmuttalab had gone to protest against the government in Katsina state or his local govt in Funtua for the lack of medical facilities ,impoverishment of his people, but tell me what is his business with the Palestinian problem when he has 70% poverty rate in his state? Like the Darfur issues,it seems muslims are fine with muslim on muslim injustice,but once the ‘aggressor’ is non-muslim it becomes a ‘religious’ issue rather than a political one. |

uplawal: uplawal:Its indeed hilarious how people can talk about things they cannot prove. How can you determine if anyone will go to Hell? Please show me your proof? I believe most muslims are in Islam due to a genuine desire to serve God ,ditto most christians. But saying one person is actually worshiping the devil instead of God is not only false logic but dangerous. @uplawal- Look at this critically - the circumnavigation of the Ka'aba existed before the time of the Holy Prophet Mohammed,when the Ka'aba was full of idols. How come its now part of the rituals of Hajj(Tawaf)?? The more you look the less you see. |
