Sal C: 1 Sam 18v10
And it came to pass on the morrow,that the evil spirit from God came upon Saul and he prophesied in the midst of the house: and David played with his hand as at other times, and there was a javelin in Saul's hand.

This verse got me thinking,how come an evil from God possessed someone?
Pls can someone shed more light on this.

abubello: @babyosisi I can see that your hatred for islam has blinded you to the truth. Wikipedia appears to be mor objective than you:


According to the Guinness Book of World Records, Islam is the world’s fastest-growing religion by number of conversions each year: "Although the religion began in Arabia, by 2002 80% of all believers in Islam lived outside the Arab world. In the period 1990-2000, approximately 12.5 million more people converted to Islam than to Christianity".[27] Part of the book's quote can be seen online from this extract from Google Books.[27] This was again shown in the 2005, 50th anniversary edition of Guinness Book of World Records, although the number of conversions was not mentioned this time.[28]

In 1990, 935 million people were Muslims. According to the BBC, a comprehensive American study concluded in 2009 the number stood at approximately 23% of the world population with 60% of Muslims living in Asia.[29][30] The report was done by the Pew Forum Research Centre.[30] The forum also projected that in 2010 out of the total number of Muslims in the world 62.1% will live in Asia.[29]

deal with that

bashorunbazok: I read the above comments and I felt sorry for some of you.Its a shame that the value for life is now dependent on one's belief.For crying out loud, unjust termination of human soul is wrong anywhere in the world. Why do you have to be happy that muslims are being killed?And why do I have to be happy with the cataclysmic act of boko haram?Its wrong!
Its about time some of u peeps came out of ur prejudiced mind,and stop thinking myopically.
For over a decade now, I have been hearing u guys talk about 72 virgins. How many of you have tried to verify this claim in d quran? You have no excuse,there are translated versions;english,hausa,igbo,et al. You can even read or download free online.Its sad that despite the unfettered access we have to info in this jet age, many people are still buried in ignorance and there distorted line of thought.
Please the next time u wanna talk about '72 virgins', bolster it with empirical evidence and not an anecdote from 1 criminal element whose aim is to cast aspersion against Islam.
And for record purpose, Islam is the fastest growing religion in the world,despite all d numerous propagandas. The reality is that no one can cover the brightness of the moon.
Islam=peace+total submission to the will of Allah..

The Prophet Muhammad was heard saying: "The smallest reward for the people of Paradise is an abode where there are 80,000 servants and 72 wives, over which stands a dome decorated with pearls, aquamarine, and ruby, as wide as the distance from Al-Jabiyyah [a Damascus suburb] to Sana'a

tintingz: you wont want to say all this without showing evidence from the bible that Jesus is NOT a man... Cuz Jesus himself said he is a son of man he prayed, eat, sleep do everything human do/does... While God clearly said he is NOT a man who is confusing here?

UncleSmart: Wonders shall never cease,
i dey laugh in igala language.

akthedream: Mr lier,quote it and lets see...u hypocrite. I can quote the erotic song of solomon,i dare u to quote the part of the Holy Quran where 72 virgins is written.

thoth: Iran will truly raze Israel if Israel ever attacks their nuclear facilities. What I think Israel is trying to do is to drag the USA into this war, the AIPAC lobbyist in Washington and Wall Street has been going on with this pressure for a long time. Since I don't expect the ruling elites of the United States to put the welfare of its populace at a higher priority I think they will eventually get into the war if Israel starts it.
You should also know that by manpower, landmass and intelligence Iran holds an upper hand, the MOSSAD has only enjoyed positive media so it seems there is something they can do on their own while in reality they can't really accomplish anything without the USA. If how the Syria war has spilled over to neighboring Lebanon and other Arab states can be used as a guideline, we should expect Israel which is surrounded by Arab nations to be crushed to pieces. On numerous occasions the rebels who were fighting in Syria has been caught only to be found out that they were trained and told they were fighting Israel, so they happily go to war thinking they were fighting Israel.

LagosShia: I really felt sick (reading this thread) with all the ignorance people come to pour into Nairaland.i never knew my thread made it to the front page.the front page turns threads into pile of rubbish posts,as it attracts everyone into the thread.

please Seun should do something to raise the quality of his forum.most people are are idiots!!!

many mistake Iran for an arab country,and use the six day war between Israel and some arab countries (using hunting guns to fight Israel,which was using superior American weapons) to write off Iran.Iran is Persian,not arab.

many also call Iran "book haram sponsor".Iran cannot sponsor book haram because Iran and boko haram are ideologically miles away.over 90% of Iranians are Shia Muslims.most arab countries (with the exception of Bahrain,Lebanon,and Iraq) are majority Sunni Muslim countries.Saddam Hussein was a secular Sunni Muslim dictator governing a Shia majority Iraq.

many here think Iran is a terrorism sponsor.Iran simply support the Sunni Palestinians and Shia Hezbollah in Lebanon because Israel invaded and occupied Palestinian and Lebanon lands.but as we know,anyone against Israel is considered a "terrorist" or a "racist anti-Semite".iran says it supports all oppressed people around the world.the Shia ideology opposes oppression because of the legacy of Imam Hussein (as),the grandson of Prophet Muhammad (sa),who was oppressed and beheaded in Karbala.so Shia Muslims say they stand against injustice,tyranny and oppression.also,the Iranians particularly feel oppressed by the americans when their king was still in power in iran.the king or shah of iran was a western puppet.the American CIA engineered a coup in iran to overthrow a democratic government in the 1950s,and to replace it with more power for the shah.when Ayatollah Khomeini led the revolution in Iran,he was only responding to the aspirations of Iranians,who looked up to the Shia clerics based in the Shia Islamic holy city of Qom,in Iran.since then diplomatic relations soured after the revolution was successful.the shah was deposed and American interests and domination of iran ended.

groups like boko haram,alqaeda and other terrorist groups that kill innocent people for having different beliefs,are Sunni,and follow the Wahhabi/Salafist ideology.the Wahhabis/Salafists are very much opposed to Iran and consider the Shia as "heretics".just as boko haram kills Christians in Nigeria,Wahhabi/Salafist groups like alqaeda kill Shia Muslims in Iraq and Pakistan.in the last 3 decades,over 20,000 Shia Muslims have been killed by the salafists/Wahhabis in pakistan.the Saudi monarchy is based on wahhabism,the same ideology that alqaeda and the terrorist groups around the world giving muslims a bad image,subscribe to.but Saudi Arabia is America's number one ally.

alqaeda was engineered in Afghanistan by the American CIA and bin laden was their agent to fight the soviet union.he later turned against them because the Wahhabi/salafist takfiri ideology is built on killing the Christian kaffir and Shia "heretics".this is not Islam and the Shia don't share this view.presently in Syria,the Americans through its allies (turkey,saudi Arabia and Qatar) are backing Jubhat al-Nusra,a boko haram-like group and an affiliate of alqaeda with the salafist/Wahhabi ideology,to fight against the regime of Bashar al-Assad.bashar al-assad in Syria is pro-iran and supports Hezbollah in neighboring Lebanon,and therefore his regime is anti-Israel.again the west is supporting in Syria (as it did in Afghanistan) those it would later call terrorists,and used to tarnish the image of Islam and the reputation of Muslims.

many here post out of sheer ignorance and religious sentiments.israel of the old which was founded by prophets of God who even Muslims believe in,is not the same Israel of the present.israel (as presently applied) is a misnomer.the name pure deception to win religious fervor.israel of present is built on occupation of Palestine,and displacing the indigenes of Palestine who share jewish and Israelite genes,but are presently muslims and speak Arabic instead of Hebrew.with the coming of islam and the Arabians,the indigenes of Palestine,like those black africans in sudan were Arabized/assimilated and they intermarried with the Arabians.judaism predated islam in Palestine.islam as a belief system is alien to Palestine.but the muslims in Palestine are indigenous and were there before Islam.so no one can say the muslims "came" to meet the jews,because most indigenes were Arabized/islamized.that statement is not correct when considered that the muslims of Palestine (majority of them) did not come from elsewhere.israel is a racist or apartheid state that considers itself as a "jewish state".being a "jewish state" is racial and not the same as being an "Islamic state".anyone can be muslim,but not anyone can be jew.being a jew is both racial and religious at the same time.but being a muslim is not racial at all,and anyone can become muslim.and if a jew (like the Samaritans who are presently Palestinians,and other jews who are ancestors of Palestinians did) adopts Islam or another religion (even Christianity),he will stop to be considered as "jew".

many here give Israel some mystic aroma,and consider them "chosen people of God",and that Israel cannot be defeated.well,in 2006 Hezbollah in Lebanon held israel to a standstill war for 33 days.by the estimate of many,it was a war Israel lost and was unable to win,as Israel failed to accomplish the objectives that made it to launch the war.hezbollah is pro-iran and its weapons used in 2006 are Iranian made.

iran is a progressive country when it comes to military advancement and also in other science and technology fields.for the past 30 years,it has developed its military with home made weapons,mostly long range and sophisticated missiles that can reach Israel,among other weapons.you can check this:

https://www.nairaland.com/908175/progress-iran-under-islamic-regime

iran has not threatened Israel going by the statements of Ayatollah Ali Khamanei,who once served as Iran's president in the 1980s to early 90s.he is simply replying to Israeli and American threats to attack iran.both America and Israel have nuclear weapons.iran says its nuclear program is purely for peaceful,civilian and non-military purpose.

maclatunji: This thread is proving to me that my hypothesis on Christians in Nigeria is almost certainly correct! Many of them would rather have Boko Haram just to assure themselves that "Islam and Muslims are bad" rather than have peace and learn that Islam establishes peace and decorum when truly practised.

Ironically, many of them are quick to dash to Dubai, Malaysia and even Qatar to live under Muslim rule. Their hypocrisy is deep. I call this phenomenon the Complicit Victim Syndrome (CVS).
