RoyPCain: @maclovington: a good wife will ask why the husband switched path? then she investigates. the children if are not like grandchildren to their father, i was to my late father [ra], they ask the same question. then they investigate. definitely, the situation of prophet Nuh and his son and prophet Lut and his wife comes to mind. what i pay attention to as i travel through life, hope Allah makes it long for me in Islam [amin], is about what happens from the moment death arrives? do we that believe in afterlife as in Judgment Day, christian, jew and muslim end up in same Paradise [heaven as the christians and jews call it] or are our hellfire [lake of fire of the christian] different? do we have different Gods and way of judgments?

the truth is that not all of us are liars, 2 of us 3 are. But which one is telling the truth? or is the truth somewhere altogether, with the hindu's or rhe pagan 9ja religion or whatever? there is no way that we are here purposeless and there would not be a judgment, an accounting.

you can't argue successfully that God allowed death for Himself, which puts a dent on christianity and the fact that the jews make their religion a club house organization based on bloodline cheapens the limitless range of the door of Mercy of God Who made all of us. this is why i accept Islam, in spite of the unpopularity of it, because one with God is a majority because supersede number as He Only makes the Rules.

if the christian iyawo of the alfa is still alive and none of the children has died, you are a good candidate to invite them to the success path the alfa fell into so many decades ago. we have put forward the message of God to you in the manner His last Messenger [sa] delivered it. there is not a single soul except that he answers to the call of Guidance from God, otherwise, such a person is doomed.


the only difference between guidance is the ritualistic prayer [salah] of the muslims that misguidance do not practice.
Thanks for your invitation but I believe people have a choice.

My grandma was a very good wife, mother and grandmother following her faith. Herself and her children were/are happy with their faith.

BRF and BAT both have Christian wives. I believe they must be good wives to still be married to them.

I admire people preaching their faith while recognising individual freedom.

If Boko and others were doing it this way, they would most like get more converts.

RoyPCain: @maclovington; which one of the child of the 'alfa' is your parent? and why did he/she leave islam and didn't take the alfa along? i say thats an ungrateful child for not showing the 'alfa' the right way that God is now three as in trinity, or still ungrateful if the child the perfect way the 'alfa' is/was on and opted for God is three as in trinity!

a child who loves the parent will not let the parent perish. and if the parent on the road to success a child in love with the parent will love the road and stays on it to the end, as the children of Abraham did and passed the pattern on to their children. it is an ungrateful child on the side of satan that will abandon pure guidance, even if it is not popular to go to popular and leading to hellfire.

Olorun Oba ma sewa lero ino. Amina yaa Allah.
.

Lol.

Well my Grandfather became a Muslim around late 1930s or early 1940s. They were originally Christians. He travelled a lot doing business around Lokoja/Illorin axis.

The deal was he became Muslim but my Granny remained with her Strong Christian faith with the children who were already baptised Christians. The children (my dad was one of them) remained Christians as grown-ups. So my Grandpa's house was open to everybody irrespective of faith. He believed in doing things out of free will. This is not unusual among Southern Muslims.

He lived a simple life of prayers, fasting, charity and modesty. He even gave up prestigious traditional titles and privileges (by not using them and not even mentioning them).

So that was what the family legacy.

For me faith is a personal thing.

As for God and Trinity, not every Christian sees it like that. Certainly not all being same or equal in power. People have freedom to seek guidance from the Bible and many do so daily.
IslamRe: Muslim Countries Found To Have Highest Rates Of Birth Defects? by MacLovington(m): 8:23am On Sep 26, 2013
I have no single doubt in my mind that consanguinity is a major cause of birth defects. It cannot be a coincidence.

I have seen too many of this in practice here in the UK.

People can argue all they want.

Experts here are just holding back not to upset certain religious groups. It's frustrating really. Very frustrating especially as the NHS cannot afford it.

If people cannot differentiate between science and ancient religious stuff, too bad.

[quote author=just_thinking]it is quite funny that u picked my comment and neglect the comment posted by ur christian brother. the comment u quote is a reply to the comment posted by our christian brother. all am saying is that u quoted me out of context just the same way u most christian quote the Holy Quran out of context. just to tell you, av lived with christians all my life. a lived with them as room mate in skl nd we love each other that we call ourself "brother from different mother". i still live with christian right now also. half of my best friends are christian and we only bring up islamic issue anytime we need to knw sumtin. and recently i make frnd with someone online who is a christian and after month of chatting the person told be she cant be my friend becos am muslim so pls dont play the tolerance card here.[/quote].

Well I don't know which version of my post you read. I have only said "some" Muslims from personal experience across about 12 countries I have lived in for over 6 months (definition of residing in a place). Excluding those visited. My post you quoted was a continuum from the previous post. Read both together.

Good that you have Christian friends. I do not just have Muslim friends and neighbours (I enjoy my Eid food quite a lot), I also have them as close blood relatives. In my late grandfather's house, food was always prepared halal.

No need to mention that he was an Alfa.

You are a correct observer of human nature.

When it comes to issues like this, women/girls don't listen to any advice. All they really want is confirmation (of course they will always deny it) and not any sincere opinion that would sway them one way or another.

@OP: do what you already have in mind to do.

IslamRe: Reactions To Westgate Murders By Muslim Scholars/imams by MacLovington(m): 8:40am On Sep 25, 2013
[quote author=just_thinking]dat is true to some extent bro. but the thing is the bible especially the new testament have been modified so many times to fit into a perticular perpective, country, ideology e.t.c. if possible try to watch this video
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IYMKQKSV0bY.[/quote].

This is one thing I also don't understand about some Muslims. They seem very busy trying to be Biblical scholars and condemn the Bible. I personally know many people born into Muslim families who are now Christians and believe me many have awful things to say about Islam BUT
I am not swayed in anyway by whatever they say.

Because people change religions for different reasons. It is a personal thing between you and God.

I cannot take one person's testimony and ranting as ultimate proof of anything.

When I see even barely literate Muslims claiming how they know the original Bible and how it was all changed, it's quite surprising what the obsession is. Very common among Middle Eastern/Asian Muslims.

Yet they want to behead anyone who condemns the Koran. They want tolerance but are themselves intolerant.

My belief is that it takes God's mercy and favour to understand a Holy Book. It is not all literally what you see and read. If people can read a simple passage in an exam and cannot understand it, what about a Holy Book with more spiritual meaning than it seems?
IslamRe: Reactions To Westgate Murders By Muslim Scholars/imams by MacLovington(m):
I think moderate Muslims should just condemn evil acts and not start arguing about who committed the greatest evil or who killed the most people.

They should do so if they genuinely believe it's the right thing to do. Not because of what people would say or not say.

The deafening silence is being perceived by many as tacit approval.

Allowing this to continue would be another tragedy.
IslamRe: Reactions To Westgate Murders By Muslim Scholars/imams by MacLovington(m): 9:19pm On Sep 24, 2013
[quote author=just_thinking]i have been reading the comment here silently. and this is what i notice.
observation
1. when the killing was going on THEY said dare is no muslim here to condem the killing. Muslims are terrorist.
2. when a NL post comment of muslim clerics condeming the act. THEY said the muslim clerics are not from well reputable muslim country. so Muslims are terrorist.
3. when a christian like david cameron said it is the killing is not abt religion. THEY said he is only interested in arab money. so Muslims are terrorist
4. when a muslim try to give example of a christian who is also involve in terror. THEY said he stoped going to church wen he was 15. so muslims are terrorist.
5. whem a muslim try to give them islamic verse to back up his clain that this people are not doing that is in the quran. THEY said it is a lie that the islam teaches and encourages killing of non-muslims. so muslims are terrorist.
Deduction and pridiction
1. Most of the christians here have already decide on what to blieve before they even ask the question.
2. i wont be surprise if some christian here dont really care abt the killing but just want to use dis avenue to talk bad about islam.
3. nothing will change dare mind even wen the all clerics in the world stand at the same time and condem dis evil act.

Advice
1. Muslims here shuld not abuse or argue with them because doing that will yield nothing. because i dont really see this crisis ending soon. the ppl controling this madness are actually getting the response they need. and dey will keep pushing it untill it lead to war(God forbid) we just av to learn how to deal with it and pray that Allah shuld help us stop this madness.
2. i would like the christain here to try to read abt the quran themselve. is it not funny that most muslims here actually knw the bible more than some christians here. it is becos muslims are truth seekers. they just dont want to bliev in what som ppl tell us. we seek for the truth. that is why we knw this extremist are nt muslims.
3. ISLAM IS THE RELIGION OF PEACE[/quote].

I have a copy of the Koran at home. From reading it I realised one big difference with the Bible.

In the old Testament of the Bible the law of Moses provides for some violence to punish sinners. An eye for an for example.
However, the New Testament focuses on forgiveness of sin. In fact LOVE is the greatest commandment we're told in it.

My conclusion is that the Koran as a whole has more in common with the Old Testament.

If the Bible was the Old Testament only, it would be quite conceivable for some Christian zealots to act like the Muslim fundamentalists are doing now, killing innocent people.

I have planned to go home and ask Omoba (my papa) to tell me as much as possible about culture/tradition.

I have been recording him on video talking of history and tradition for years now when I visit.

All tradition will be lost soon. The MOGs and pentecostal in every uncompleted building will be the death of it.
RomanceRe: Why Every Girl Should Marry A Nigerian Man by MacLovington(m):
pc guru: So in other words, we Nigerians have a right to judge another person just because they married outside our tribe, anyway she's an adult she's free to marry who so ever she deems fit. frankly just shocked you can just attack someone just because of her choice of her marriage, totally sounds wrong and petty.
.

No we don't BUT Kate went out of her way to say she can never imagine marrying a Naija man and regaled us with advantages of a white husband. I dated many Non-blacks (even got engaged) but is there any point in particularly condemning others or comparing them? In fact I lived in a place where you hardly saw black people then in Europe. Oyinbo prick dey shark am dat time.

Despite having hardly dated black women, I do not generalise or bad mouth them. I see some really good, sweet ones sometimes.

Not all girls that are not interested in Nigerian men have been burnt by one, just like am sure not all men that are not interested in Nigerian women have been hurt by one. It's called preference and we are all entitled to them wink[/quote].

Right, typically once those other nationality men have used them like a rag or dumped their bottom, they'll start looking for Naija men.

People like Kate Henshaw. I have met many of them before.

How genuine can someone be who basically exclude certain people just based on race, nationality or creed.
