FreeStuffsNG: All the money Trump's US is currently earning from US oil and the stolen Venezuela oil will be used to rebuild Iran.
Maduro and Venezuela are a disgrace to be called a country.
Iran stood up to Trump and defeated him. It is looking true and true every day that the Iranians who insist that the language Trump understands is force are actually right. Ny friend i know you to be a sympathiser to terro and a purveyor of propaganda, you didn't tell us how almost every hardliner in Iran is currently kicking against the deal that you're celebrating. My friend you're seriously an uninformed person, you even forgot to tell us that Iran will be dismantling everything that has to do with it nuclear program of which it is the major cause of this war. Well for FYI even the adviser to Khameini jnr is criticising everything that has to do with the MoU that Iran is about to sign. So please look for somewhere to spread ur propaganda, not everyone is dull on this platform. |

Islam › Re: Islam And Muslims In Yorubaland: Separating Criminality From Faith by LeeSmart: 2:34pm On Jun 12 |
ola20ng: Islam and Muslims in Yorubaland: Separating Criminality from Faith and Examining the Reality of Peaceful Coexistence
In recent times, a growing narrative has emerged in some quarters portraying Islam and Muslims in Yorubaland as inherently violent, intolerant and hostile to non-Muslims. This perception has been fueled largely by reports of criminal activities, especially kidnapping and banditry, which are frequently linked on social media and other platforms to individuals who are identified as Muslims or Fulani. Consequently, some critics have sought to attribute the actions of these criminals to Islam itself, thereby creating the impression that the religion endorses or encourages such acts.
However, this conclusion is both unfair and logically flawed. No religion should be judged solely by the misconduct of individuals who claim affiliation with it while acting contrary to its teachings. To blame Islam for the crimes of kidnappers is no different from blaming Christianity, traditional religion or any other faith for the crimes committed by some of their adherents. Criminality is a human problem, not a religious doctrine. A more objective assessment of Islam in Yorubaland should be based on the historical and contemporary realities of Muslim interactions with non-Muslims. For centuries, Muslims in Yorubaland have lived and interacted peacefully with people of other faiths and backgrounds. These interactions are not limited to one aspect of life but cut across family, social, educational, economic and professional spheres. Many non-Muslims have Muslim relatives through marriage, serving as in-laws, cousins, uncles, aunts, nephews and nieces.
In many communities, Muslims and non-Muslims live side by side as neighbours, sharing the same streets, markets and social amenities. They relate as landlords and tenants, participate in community affairs under the leadership of community leaders and depend on the services of security personnel regardless of religious affiliation.
In the workplace, Muslims and non-Muslims work together daily as employers and employees, bosses and subordinates, supervisors and staff, colleagues and co-workers. They collaborate as business partners, mentor one another and pursue common professional goals without religious differences becoming a source of conflict.
In schools and other educational institutions, Muslims and non-Muslims interact as teachers, lecturers, students, classmates, tutors and school administrators. Generations of Yoruba children have studied together in the same classrooms and learned under teachers of different faiths without any widespread record of religiously motivated violence.
The business sector provides another strong example of peaceful coexistence. Muslims engage with non-Muslims as clients, customers, suppliers, contractors, vendors and investors. Every day, countless commercial transactions take place between Muslims and non-Muslims throughout Yorubaland based on trust, mutual benefit and respect. Markets, shops and business centres across the region testify to the long-standing economic cooperation among people of different religious backgrounds.
The same pattern is evident in transportation. Muslims travel with public drivers, taxi drivers, okada riders, bus conductors and transport operators without discrimination. Likewise, in healthcare settings, Muslims receive treatment from doctors, nurses, pharmacists and caregivers of different faiths, while non-Muslim patients also seek medical attention from Muslim healthcare professionals. These interactions occur daily and are generally characterized by professionalism and mutual respect. In addition, Muslims rely on and work with artisans, electricians, plumbers, mechanics, domestic workers, security personnel and other service providers regardless of their religious beliefs. These relationships are often long-term and are built on confidence, competence and good character rather than religious identity.
In recent years, Yorubaland has witnessed cases of kidnapping and violent crimes that have often been attributed in public discourse to some criminal elements among Fulani herdsmen. These incidents have understandably generated fear, anger and concern among the populace. However, it is important to distinguish between the actions of criminals and the teachings of a religion. Even if some of the perpetrators identify as Muslims, Islam cannot and should not be defined by their actions. Criminality is not a religious doctrine and kidnapping is not an Islamic practice.
The fact that many Fulani people are Muslims does not make kidnapping an Islamic act any more than the crimes committed by individuals from other ethnic groups make those crimes representative of their religions. Kidnapping knows no tribe, ethnicity or religion. Across Nigeria and the world, people from different religious and ethnic backgrounds have been involved in various forms of crime. The responsibility for such acts rests on the perpetrators themselves, not on the faith communities to which they claim to belong. Islam explicitly condemns oppression, injustice, theft, murder and all forms of wrongdoing. The Qur'an teaches respect for human life and warns against spreading corruption and mischief on earth. The unlawful seizure of persons for ransom, intimidation or any other purpose is completely contrary to Islamic principles. A kidnapper acts in violation of Islam, not in obedience to it.
If Islam truly promoted violence against non-Muslims, one would expect centuries of Muslim interaction with neighbours, relatives, co-workers, teachers, customers, patients, landlords, tenants and countless others in Yorubaland to have produced a history of widespread religious hostility. Yet the historical reality is one of coexistence, cooperation and mutual dependence. Muslims and non-Muslims have lived, worked, traded, studied, travelled and built communities together for generations.
Therefore, it is neither fair nor intellectually sound to judge Islam by the actions of a few wretched criminals who happen to bear Muslim names or come from predominantly Muslim communities. Islam should be judged by its teachings and those teachings do not support kidnapping, banditry, terrorism or any form of oppression. The crimes of kidnappers belong to the kidnappers; they do not belong to Islam. The history of Yorubaland itself stands as evidence that peaceful coexistence not violence is the dominant character of Muslim relations with people of other faiths. Dear Op we can all see how you've tried so hard to defend your religion, but trust me our eyes don open since. |

Sccarrr: 🤔🤔Why is Nairaland helping to promote hate?
Some moderators are also secretly banning people because certain opinions do not align with their own biases. When members of a particular group (you all know who they are) make derogatory comments about other tribes, nothing happens. But if you reply to them or question why they would even make such remarks, the moderators who often happen to be from the same group,ban you instead while leaving the offensive comments untouched...I'm sure they are responsible for pushing this topic to the frontpage😐
I hope Seun looks into this issue. That is, if this comment itself is not deleted by the very people responsible. Reasons why i no dey allow dem drink water drop cup for here oo. Some of the mods are even at the forefront of this e.g Dominique, Angelfrost, and Seun himself........ i am always ready to drag them. |
