May Allah destroy you and your Jamaat. You have brought nothing but shame on Islam and indeed you are liars. Because of your false beliefs and devilish actions you have incurred insults on Islam and the noble prophet. May all your followers and wrongful sympathizers face the wrath of Allah and be completely destroyed.

I think we all should stop sweeping up this North VS South thing; ATIKU is just one man and not the whole of North, PDP is just one of the many other parties. Almost all PDP Northern Governors have come behind Jonathan to support him, but yet we keep criticising the North. In the past, the North have shown that they can come behind a man that is not from their region, like they did in the case of Obasanjo and Abiola. Abiola defeated Bashir Tofa in his native state Kano, so the idea that the average northerner wants the north to remain in perpetual power is a fallacy; many leaders of the north have betrayed the north and so have many of our leaders betrayed us too.Lets all start looking at personalities and forget regionalism; forget ATIKU, forget PDP, they have always rigged to remain power in anyways; so why are we killing ourselves over PDP.

It is also sad, to see that support for GEJ is based on sentiment rather than merit; lets look beyond regions and look forward to voting the right man, the chances of a free and fair election is brighter than ever, we shouldn't waste this opportunity.

Omo Naija is finished. This country is just been torn apart by corruption; and to think we have these foreign nations meddling in matters primarily for their own interest? We must be in hot soup. Only God knows what else has been happening that we don't know. Did I read something like US offering technical assistance to wipe off DDC machine memory

WAIT FOR IT, Someone will suddenly come up with a theory about how the North is responsible for all this. I thought there were no militants again I thought all that MEND bombing is a facade May God save Nigeria

Thanks man, will look them up

omojand:
I don't think LBS offers a distance learning module, so that might rule them out for you. Besides, you may find the cost too prohibitive (given your cost sensitivity). I would suggest you research the following institutions -

- Imperial, Judge (Cambridge), SAID (Oxford), Warrwick, Cranfield. These are all top UK institutions with strong international brands.


I'm a graduate of the executive MBA programme from Imperial Business School. Though I held a management position prior to embarking on the programme, the knowledge/qualification helped transition me into a high-visibility, front-offfice role within the same global organization. Tuition fees was approx £40.000. I know a distance-learning offering exists, but don't have cost information at hand. You can find all relevant information on the websites of the respective institutions listed.


Goodluck.

Thanks for all the info. I have checked Imperial and even that cost is prohibitive for me. I have been looking up Edinburgh Business school, but I do not have enough information as to the value of their certificate internationally. If you know anything about Edinburgh Business School, pls let me know.

Secondly, there is this fuss about distance learning, (the lack of face to face contact and the absence of an avenue to make contacts with important fellow students across the globe); how serious is this factor from your own perspective considering that my aim is to put myself in a better position in the career world.

I am considering undertaking an MBA program in a UK university, my preferred method is Distance Learning because of personal constraints. I plan investing a large chunk of my savings, and really want to get value for my money. I need advice (from guys with first hand experience or information) on what Business school offers the best programs at the most affordable price.

I am very much interested in schools whose graduates enjoy much patronage from international organisations.

happy eid mubarak to you all

@Ranoshky u fail to see any fault in what d poster and wasted a lot of cyber space just 2 get at me. The problem that we have in this country is that some people always feel their tribe or religion is better than others, for God sake we are all Nigerians and we dont have to be differentiating ourselves by tribe or religion. How can he post DO HAUSA MUSLIM KISS, that is very wrong he is directing his post to a particular tribe and religion which is very bad. There are many christain girls out there that dont kiss, kissing is a matter of choice or mayb his partner is naive about kissing or dont fancy it. The main point is that, i think he is trying to ridicule a particular tribe which i dont subscribe to, if he likes let him sleep with all hausa muslim girls he come across, that's his own cup of coffee, is just that this thing about yoruba does this,hausa does this,igbo does this,christain does this,muslim does this has to stop. This is Nairaland and not ethnic or religion land.

the whole yabis, and threat is just to make fun of the whole thing, i dont have a dagger and dont even know how to use one. i do have many christain female friends, annawhite is one of them, she is even my friend on facebook. cheers.

KPOM; Ismail do not mind them I understand your point perfectly; The poster intended to spite Muslims and not ask any question in particular. Why is He making such a huge generalisation, because He is dating just one hausa girl in Kano. If He really intended getting answers to his questions, He could have easily asked the girl. Perhaps He (Poster) has a bad breath!!!; might have been her response.

"@Everybody; we all need to be careful with the way we attack each others religion, ethnicity etc. either directly or indirectly, because we may be gradually breeding hatred for ourselves in our heart. Otherwise why would such a senseless post attract so much comment, if not that a lot people are excited and would jump at every opportunity to paint Muslims and Northerners BLACK. We all need to learn to respect other people's values rather than trying to rubbish it, the Hausa have their values and we have ours. Lets leave at that.

If you are a Northerner, then you ought to be thoroughly ashamed of your response. It is to preempt sentimental responses like the above that I asserted that it would be best for a Southerner to undertake a programme of massive education in the North, because any Northerner doing it might be torn to peaces by his very own. There are an estimated 10 million almajiri's and there are many vested interests in the almajiri industry.

I'm shocked you actually asked how the poor level of education in the North affects the whole country. If there are 10 million kids running rampant with begging bowls instead of going to school, its quite obvious that 10 million members of the workforce have been grounded. No? Do you know that there are industrialised countries whose populations are less than 10 million? Singapore, Denmark, Finland, Sweden, Switzerland, Luxembourg etc etc

Aside from not contributing to the workforce, those 10 million act as a drag on the rest of society, because they must be fed and clothed without contributing a farthing to the countries development.

Perhaps, you have never heard of the thousands of Southerners that are slaughtered each time a white person in far away Europe annoys some misguided Imam. Who do you think does the massacring? Mosquito's or fcked up almajiri's?

Lastly, the most important element in a peaceful and progessing Nigeria, is the ability of all to reason on the same level. It is impossible to aciheve this without all sides being equally educated, in fact the reason the likes of Ciroma, Kaita and their gang of bats resort to threats of violence is a lack of proper education.

The huge gap in education between North and South is deeply reflected in the countries overall economic and intellectuall output. In field after field, it is glaring that the country is losing the Norths contribution, check this list of reknowned Nigerian writers; how many Northerners are on it? Its not that the brain power isn't there, its just that enough numbers don't bloody go to school; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Nigerian_writers

Dude, go and drink water and exhaust your sentiment elsewhere jare!

Firstly, I am a southerner, thoroughbred lagos boy; I see your arguments but I don't see the correlation; firstly, you talk about the North's contribution to the workforce as if the workforce in Nigeria is inadequate; lack of workforce isn't our problem. Are there enough jobs for the capable workforce we have now Are there enabling environment plus infrastructure for we southerners who passed through several levels of education to actually create jobs.
Yes, the North is not half as educated as we are; yes they recognize that is a problem for them to face, and NO, they are not doing enough. But to say the problem of Nigeria is as a result of poor education in the North is utter rubbish.

Tell me what the excellent education in the south has put on the table for the south; if not the glory of the Niger-Delta oil we are all living on. And there are brilliant Northerners doing well for the whole country: Aliko Dangote, Dantata (Dantata & Sawoe);Chanchagi, Rahmaniyya; the El-Rufais, Sanusi Lamido, Rilwan Lukman have all shown some brilliance. So stop talking about the North as if all there is to the north is Al-majiris. We have worse area boys and worse security threats down south. People in the South-East live under constant threat of insecurity, ask any of the telecommunication companies or contractors what they face when working on any site in the south and what they face when working in the North

lolatom:
GBAM!

Beaf:
You started well and ended crossing yourself out. There is no such feeling of '"we" are weaker.' In fact thinking in such terms is backward and shallow. You can be rest assured that the average Southerner is quietly confident, you will note that all threats of violence and mayhem have been emanating from the North. Threats are a sign of insecurity and fear, an effect of not being able to cope with structured positions of their Southern colleagues (something that can only come from an educated minds).

Nigeria is an unequal society simply because, the North were the civil war victors and they built an unfair country around military representation; their kids joined the army or FG, while Southern kids got an education. Today, we live in a society that is democratic and the brute force of the army has been made ineffective as a force to move the country in any direction; as a result, the North is suffering massively.

It might sound funny to some, but the solution to 90% of Nigeria's problem is to massively educate Northerners.
Any other line of action is just going to further complicate matters. In the meantime, Natural order will take its cause.

I really hope that Jonathan can formulate a comprehensive programme of education for the North, post 2011, its the only way forward and I feel it is best for a Southerner to carry out that task.

Pls. clear you mind or your head and listen to yourself. What sense does all this make to youThe solution to Nigeria's problem is educating the North Ok. Lets take it bit by bit; I assume you a southerner and you live somewhere in the south-west, lets say Ogun state. Pls kindly explain how the poor level of education in the North has affected the performance of your Governor or your commissioners. Pls. explain further, how the lack of education in the North or how a northern policy has affected power in the last ten years, has affected poor roads in your community, or lack pipe-borne water etc.



So stop all this hate preaching; a lot of you preaching this division are not from the Niger-Delta, but assume that when the issue of splitting comes, Nigeria will split to North and South(including Niger Delta); so you all feel taken care of. All of us are enjoying the Niger-delta oil and not only the Northerners; The North is not the problem of any region in this country, is it the North that told Alamiesegha, Ibori, to embezzle their people's money or is it the North that told Obasanjo to rig elections in all the south-western states Is it the North that is sponsoring the robbery in the South-east. Is it the North that told your Governors not to bring developments to your states Why do we talk about the North, like one GHOST STATE.

Italian seaside town planning miniskirt ban

The dress code would ban everything from miniskirts to low-cut jeans
A seaside city in Italy is planning to ban miniskirts and other revealing clothing to improve what the mayor calls standards of public decency.

Castellammare di Stabia is trying to be the latest location in Italy to make use of new powers to crack down on what is deemed to be anti-social behaviour.

Mayor Luigi Bobbio said the regulations would help "restore urban decorum and facilitate better civil co-existence".

Offenders would face fines of between 25 ($35) and 500 euros ($696).

'Right decision'
"Nothing too revealing" is the new policy Mayor Bobbio wants to enforce, says the BBC's Duncan Kennedy in Rome.

That means a tough new dress code which would effectively outlaw everything from miniskirts to low-cut jeans when people walk around Castellammare di Stabia, our correspondent adds.

Mr Bobbio, from the centre-right People of Freedom party, says he wants to target people who are "rowdy, unruly or simply badly behaved".

There will also be a ban on sunbathing, playing football in public places, and blasphemy, if the proposals are approved at a council meeting on Monday.

"I think it's the right decision," a local parish priest, Don Paulo Cecere, told the Cronache di Napoli newspaper. "It's also a way of combating the rise in sexual harassment."

Castellammare di Stabia is latest city to make use of the extra powers handed down by Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi's government to mayors, in the effort to fight crime and confront anti social behaviour.

In other places they have banned sandcastles, kissing in cars, feeding stray cats, wooden clogs and the use of lawn mowers at weekends.

Sagamite:
Are you on drugs?

Did you read the first paragraph?

Let me post the link again:

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-africa-11607532

Saying Sharia law should be below general law in a country bounded based on secularity is dragging Muslims in the mud?

Here is the first paragraph;
A Nigerian high court has dismissed a case brought by a 26-year-old woman who says her father forced her to marry a senator.

The judge said her human rights had not been violated and it was a matrimonial matter for an Islamic court.
where does it say that Shariah court is above the HIGH court? Or where does it say that the Judge wants Shariah court to be superior to the High court

It is either your malicious intents has blurred your sense of reasoning or you are just damn ignorant about law matters. I'll clear the air for you either way;
All the judgement means is that the law suit wasn't suppose to be brought to that court, it should have been initiated from the Shariah court since the purported marriage took place under shariah law. A similitude to this will be taking an disputed election case to the High court for first hearing; it'll definitely be referred back to the ELECTION TRIBUNAL.

Lastly, the lady could have easily walked out of the marriage; all she needed to have done is to file her case at the Shariah court and the marriage would have been annulled. But NO; her lawyers who should know better wanted to chop her money first.

Sagamite:
Stop throwing stewpid conjectures, I posted it from BBC.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-africa-11607532

That said, the retarded Senator thinks a young girl need to have a tag of "divorcee" for a marriage she was not part of.

Why is it so hard to be objective. Where did they mention the girl's age you want to play the card of "marriage to a minor". No one is saying forceful marriage is acceptable, but my point is don't try to drag shariah / Muslim into the mud, because one man chose to marry out his daughter against her wish. This happens in the south a lot too,

Ileke-IdI:
Not when it affects Nigeria courts. . . . news like these not only affect you muslims, but also Nigeria's reputation.
Fight for your Arewa republic, then we won't even care if y'all decide to force your women to marry monkeys.

And this is the source: http://allafrica.com/stories/201010230007.html

kindly explains how it affects the Nigeria courts Are you saying the judge's judgement was compromised or what exactly is your grouse

Secondly, because of your malicious intents you intentionally didn't post the full contents.

"LEADERSHIPWEEKEND gathered further that the federal lawmaker may have divorced Ms Mayana long before the case was thrown out at the Sokoto High court.

Senator Ya'u is the chairman of the Senate Committee on States and Local Governments."

Mr Duerulu:
Pls read the news article properly b4 u make comments or else u might sound off. The judge dismissed the case bc the court doesnt hav jurisdiction to hear it. is there anything wrong with that?
The issue force marriage is an ancient practice in Africa even in this generation must us can't claim 2 be ignorant on how influencial some of our parents are when it comes to the choice of who we want to marry. Some parents dictates what tribe and even the village/ the family the guy/lady must come from.
But things are changing now: if it were some few yrs ago, they would have threatened her life , 
I kno certainly that a competent court will rule the case in her favor, it just the matter of time.

Firstly I must say a lot of people are more interested in taking a swipe at Islam / Shariah than making objective comments about the issue.
Definitely it is unislamic to marry out a lady against her wish.One of the fundamentals of marriage in Islam is the woman's consent. That said, it is not uncommon to find parents fix-up their children or reject their daughter's choice of husband. This happens for both tribal and religious reasons and it is definitely unacceptable; but not as alien as a lot of people are making it to sound (I guess because this has to do with Muslims & Northerners).

I think people need to back out from attacking shariah at the slightest opportunity; Shariah is for Muslims and Muslims alone; non-muslims need to respect that; it is our wish to live a certain way and I think it is only polite to accept us for what we are.

Lastly what is the source of this news?

I came across this Time Magazine article of Friday, Sep. 17, 1965 (just 5 yrs after independence) and because it invoked the million dollar where-did-we-go-wrong question, I thought should share,  (curled from a friend's post on facebook, and thought I should share too,  it made me sad though).

KILL HIM; that is the only worthy punishment

Something tells me GEJ is going to get his hands soiled. In fact, I fear the FG will be doing all it can to extradite Henry back to Nigeria, where they can control whatever happens. It seems to me, that Henry has something to nail GEJ, and He might play the card when pushed to the wall

EXCLUSIVE: Okah calls NEXT

A man purporting to be Henry Okah has called NEXT, saying it is important to set the record straight.

In a telephone interview from a South African number, the man said government’s efforts to discredit the Al-Jazeera interview is what partly prompted his call to NEXT. In order to authenticate his identity, the man asked for, by name, some of the NEXT reporters Mr. Okah had spoken with in the past.

When asked how it is possible for him to make phone calls from jail, he replied: “this is a civilised country. I can make calls anytime I want to. I am aware of efforts by the federal government to debunk my phone conversation with Al-Jazeera as a hoax, and to dispel this, I am going to talk to the BBC and CNN tomorrow.”

The presidency had raised doubts about the previous interview reportedly granted to Al Jazeera by Okah. They also completely dismissed allegations that a presidential aide had asked Mr. Okah to implicate Northerners in the Abuja bombings.

The phone call to NEXT, which lasted for five minutes, followed a telephone interview with Azuka, the wife of the former leader of the Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta (MEND), Henry Okah. During that chat, she promised to get in touch with her husband and arrange an interview. A few minutes later, our phone rang, and the caller introduced himself as Mr. Okah.

He reaffirmed the accusation made in the Al-Jazeera interview - that an official of the presidency did ask to him to exonerate MEND on the Abuja bombings and blame Northerners - but refused to divulge the identity of the official. He did, however, say he saved a text message from the official. He read out the purported text message: “Please, reach out to MEND and ask them to retract the statement and the government will blame the Northern elements.”

NEXT asked if his phones were not seized by the South African authorities, and he responded: “I have saved the message on another phone. Shortly after I got the text message, Dopkesi (IBB’s campaign manager) was arrested. I will not release the message now because if I do, the next thing they will say is that someone/IBB has paid him to do this. As they continue to sour my name the more, I will release the message.”

When asked if he was directly or remotely involved in the bombings in Abuja, he replied in the negative.

For detailed interview, news, and analysis on Abuja bombing, MEND, and the Niger Delta, get a copy of NEXT on Sunday.

1 United:
Before we crucify her, let us bear these points in mind.

1. Does it mean there is no legitimate wealth acquired by her? As we one can see that all she had laboured for in life are all listed here including her present residence as illegal wealth.

2. Let us also remember that she is a business woman just like Dangote, Otedola, Jimoh Balogun et al. Though one may argue that her own line of business is in delicate sector of the economy.

3. she can still avail herself the remaining legal windows which is by appealing.

4. Lastly how can one solve this riddle for me? Does it mean the MDs of FirstBank, Zenith Bank, UBA, Diamond bank, GTBank etc are all innocent of these crime no matter how little? Because almost all of them were all over the place chasing one award and another while their individual banks were melting.

No. I don't think it is all she has laboured for in her life that is being listed. It is just some of it; perhaps the ones she couldn't account for or the ones directly linked to her illicit business practices. Lets call a spade a spade. Why do you think MDS in GTB, Diamond, first Bank etc are all culpable Any evidences or is it just based on mere conjectures?? And even if they were does that make her less deserving of a higher jail term. It is a bitter pill to swallow I know. Just accept it. Case dismiss.

Sagamite:
Can you please explain.  

invisible!:
I agree with you, but only to some extent. I think the Ibru woman committed some wrong, albeit with good intentions. What I wont endorse is going after some people because of their way of life, not for the weight of evidence staked against them.
This woman has become too rich for a banker, and in the face of mounting economic ruins and poorer working class, it looks wrong. Back to her offence, all the 25 bank MDs are guilty of that, let all of them be locked up. Justice will be seen to have been done, especially if it is not selective.

What good intentions? Are you saying that because there many thieves walking freely on Nigerian road; then any thief caught should be let go. It is not a question of being too rich, it is a question of twisting the books to her own advantage; she used depositors money illegally to her advantage, she lied about the status of the bank while she was milking it dry. Can you imagine what would have happened to millions of Nigerians that were banking with Oceanic had CBN let this go on till the bank crashes under her own weight?This was what happened to SGBN; Saraki was milking the bank for his own gain, CBN tuned a blind eye and depositors were the ones that suffered.

[img]http://thewillnigeria.com/thumbnail.php?file=Ibru_02_490926520.jpeg&size=article_medium[/img]

Isn't this just wickedness and obsessive avarice. All that Billions?!!! She could have bought over Liverpool if she wanted to.She kept acquiring shares of Oceanic Bank under many different accounts; obviously she knew what she was doing. Simply put it; she was using Bank depositor's money like her personal money.

kafanchan:
It is not decision gone wrong my brother, it is MAN KNOW MAN. First bank know sanusi and oceanic bank doesnt. I wish this thing done to Ibru will go round other MDs too. I am more than 70% sure not a single MD will be left (Imean those MDs under Soludo). I just have this feelings that as long selective judgement continues, we are doomed in this country. Man go just tif money, and e go make sure say im dey humble enuf to pally any government in power. Shey u know of the issue of SEAWOLF and FIRSTBANK. Sanusi never bullied First bank for giving one organisation loan worth 28% of its shareholder's fund. To make the matter worse, the loan was reclassified instead of being written off ( the evidence was once posted on NL but I cant lay my hands on it now). The same offence few other MDs are facing trial for. Just imagine Ibru going to jail and Ovia, Elumelu, Akinfehinwa and Tayo being celebrated. So sad, my brother.

I have a dream, that one day all thieves will be made to face judgement irrespective of their affiliation or connection. That is when I can boldly say "Naija is there".

Why are you living in denial; you know deep in your mind that she stole; that she can be classified as a thief; and yet you allow sentiments to becloud your judgement. Perhaps she goes to your church or she is your church member, that shouldn't make you lose your objectivity. For God sake the Woman pleaded Guilty (She accepted she did it, but reached an agreement with EFCC in order to receive a softer punishment). May be some of you don't even know, she might not be spending those 6 months in jail, but in Reddington Hospital; that was the Judge's ruling that she should proceed to Reddington Hospital because of Her Health conditions (which are probably fake) I know when Erastus Akingbola gets his judgement, Redeem Church worshippers will whip up the same sentiments.

Sounds fair to me. Afterall you were paying Hitv 6k, for just football alone

Raymond Dokpesi is an intelligent man; A first class degree holder. Actually He was the best graduating student in Poland for 50 years in Marine Engineering. He has shown his managerial skills in managing a couple of companies successfully. Raymond comes across as one of those people IBB invested in, to help multiply his loot. Perhaps Adenuga is another one. Don't be surprised at the kind of people who will support IBB, Gbenga Daniel is another one, John Momoh of channels might be another one.

Why do you guys think IBB is so confident, the man is very crafty and intelligent. I am afraid He may have worked this out well, I think we will know very soon; the PDP primaries will determine how strong He and Jonathan is. I am really waiting to see who wins that ticket. The PDP delegates will jumping for joy, they may be bought over with billions of Naira.

Well, Victor Ikpeba is improving. He probably barely made it past secondary school. I like his efforts; He is really forcing it and may be in 2 years He could become a very good analyst. Even Amokachi falls short, but speaks better English. I think DSTV is making a mistake, I prefer the analyst we had last season; that lady, the kickoff guy and one fat Journo. Funny how I can't remember their names.

Perhaps they can make it one ex-international and one good football analyst, Mike Mayaki comes to mind.

@ Le Stylo

I am a graduate of Uni of Ibadan, When i was in 100L at FLT, the xtians usually come ard to preach every morn but instead of muslim to come ard and either preach or do woteva dat looks like preaching, they ganged and barricaded the lecture stand one morn and said there shd be no more preaching in class, it nearly degenerated into fiasco if not for the intervention of back seating boiz like me that said we the ifa,oshun and ogun bopiz want to use the stage, before they all finally came to an agreement, get it straight, the muslim world shd know that we are no more in the days of Ottoman empire or The Great Salawudeen where violence and war reign supreme, what it is baffling is the way the muslim in a university environment reacted to the uncalled for provocation or act of insanity of the girl, the question what is teh difference btw their reaction and that of northern alamjiris, that shows the religion has a fundamental aggressive (dont let me use the world violence) nature embeded in it.

see, what the girl did is totally and absolutely wrong but the muslim too shd brace up and denounce the reactions of maybe few fanatics demonstrating over a little girl and calling for jihad,

Lest i forget, i was told the girl has a muslim background, dunno how far that is true sha ooo

You are missing the point; I come to class early in the Morning to prepare for lectures and the next thing someone steps  onto the stage and starts chanting / screaming into my ears. This is very disturbing, it is very similar to someone coming to the class with a stereo player playing Bob-Marley. This will definitely unsettle someone who is not a Bob-Marley fan, I can remember I was greatly irritated by those preachings. If you wanted to preach do it during church / fellowship sessions, why disturb others? Xtians need to understand that they are disturbing Muslims when they choose go into the bus, classes and scream their preachings into the ears of everybody. The worst thing that can happen to anybody is to be living beside a church, even if the church just has 10 worshippers, they will ensure they buy the loudest loud-speakers just to disturb you.

clefstone:
One question: should this have happened the other way, i.e, a Muslim intruding into a Christian gathering to proclaim Allah as saviour, would this have gone beyond the school and turned into a national issue.

I can tell you for sure that the student would have been expelled / suspended for inciting violence. And yes, the papers would have picked it, and they always do. The Muslim student's reaction is understandable because they have always been on the receiving side, they needed to drum-out this episode to drive in the point, they are not always the "Trouble-initiators". I lived in the south-east for a while, and the few Muslims there are constantly being harrassed, the Muslim women in Hijab, are always taunted, sometimes their head-scarf are pulled and laughed at. Does it ever make headlines?NO.

The experience of Muslims whom go for Youth-service is another chapter entirely, year in year out, the Muslims sisters are threatened to pull-off their hijab, despite it is not against any NYSC rules; yet the Chriatian-Catholic sisters whom also wear something very similar are treated with so much respect and exempted from most disliked activities. There are many examples but for the battery of my Laptop, I would have elaborated more

Quote from: Sagamite on Today at 02:09:50 PM
You surely are a slowpoke!

You still don't get the context of use.

You need a lobotomy

Where have you seen a Xtian preach the violent verses you point to? Where have you seen a pastor justifying killing and even putting it on DVD or going on national TV to tell some it is a duty to kill anyone against them or that has offended them?

Why did you daft, asinine arse think it is OK to compare what is OBVIOUSLY REDUNDANT for YEARS part of the bible to what Muslims are having a problem, in this day and age in teaching to people of their faith?

slowpoke!

I am greatly astounded as to your response, first you denounce some part of the bible (Isn't it suppose to be a divine scripture from God with no errors in it?); and then you go ahead to insult Muslims asking if Christians ever put , to practice My friend, if I may ask you what is the Bombing, Raping, unlimited assault on innocent Iraqis whom had no business with 9/11 nor WMDs suppose to be called Who are the major perpetrators of the crimes going on in Iraq and Afghanistan. Is it because in the name of "Jesus" is not shouted when the bombs are being dropped on civilians, children etc. Perhaps I should also remind you of the christian crusaders whom murdered women and children in the most devastating manner that history will never forget.

I have utmost respect for xtians, I do have very good xtian friends especially the Jehovah witnesses and catholics. But I am very dissappointed when an Arab Muslim is so greatly criticised for tying a bomb round himself just to kill a few American soldiers, but the same criticism is not meted out to American soldiers whom kill in large numbers with such impunity that makes some of their own soldiers go sick (mental disorder, due to their inability to stomach the attrocities they have committed).

What the girl did is highly condemnable, it is becoming frustrating the way xtians go ahead to preach in buses (allowing one no rest), and turn residential residences to churches giving their neighbours sleepless nights. This must be unGodly, because of your own selfish desire you to proclaim your worship, you turn your loudspeakers so loud, that everyone in the neighbourhood won't be able to sleep quietly; If this is not provocation, then what is
