hmmmmmm, if you try to speak against hard drugs and discourage it's use among people, just know that drug Lords might be planning your murder. I fear that the same might apply to those, who like freezy, are threats to pastorpreneurs' ventures.

OP listen and listen very well. The religious gods don't exist. You know that you are a devoted christian and you did your best, watch and see how others will try to blame you and you alone. To them it is not God's fault but yours. Now you know that it is with the same falsity that they accuse we atheists of never being true christians or understanding the word of God. I am sure it is painful to see someone who never knew you in person or even met you to say that you don't understand the bible and God and you failed yourself.

If you will be wise, listen to me. There is no God that cares about us on earth. There is no tragedy for which you can make an excuse for God. Think think an think. Religious gods, witchcraft, religion, voodoo, satanism and other world mysticism are bullshits . It's a cold and dark world filled with lies, deception and make-believe.

[color=#000050]When a Muslim says "fanatics do not represent our religion," what does this actually mean? What religion do these maniacs represent, then? Afterall, they often quote passages from the Qur'an itself before they strike, so they are obviously studying the same literature as "moderate" Muslims. The difference is, they are willing to act on these grotesque teachings and moderates are not.

Though moderates will scream all day about how extremists do not represent them, do they ever actually seek to explain how that's the case... Or do they merely give us buzz-quotes, saying thing like "Islam is peaceful. Mohammed is peacegul. Islam is love," and so forth?

A "moderate" Muslim caught defending Islam should be asked one simple question: Is the Qur'an perfect? If they say "no," then they are openly admitting that Islam has errors, hence cannot be the word of God, hence Mohammed was a false prophet, hence they are following a false faith, a total lie. They literally cannot say no. If they say "yes," then they are endorsing the nauseating passages in the Qur'an as being perfect, the everlasting message God chose to leave humanity with.

The moderate will usually say that the quotes are being taken "out of context." But, what possible fücking context could there be to justify all those bloodthirsty garbage?[/color]

the terrorists and moderate are both guilty of support the terrorist ideology even the terrorist takes action where as the moderate does not. There is a saying in England, the terrorists want to cut your head and the moderates will be happy to see it get done.

Your post is on point.

You have not really understand the concept of God my friend. Else, you will know that He never fails.

Our problem is Africa is that from birth we have been misinformed about the concept of God by our clergy.

To set up a business requires much more than merely handling it to God. To excel requires completely understanding businesses and that particular business you are in to. You should also understand that new businesses generally require more money to be firm and more time to start yielding profits. You yourself have to be disciplined. You cannot seriously believe you will start" making profits immediately you start business.

Let me give you a illustration with God's design. When you plant a mango, you have to ensure it is well protected from pests and other destructive elements, u have to water it during the dry season. You have to clear the weeds around it etc etc. If you can be patient enough, it most likely will become a big tree that produces thousands of mangoes yearly. The God factor is only to ensure that after you might have done everything, God will help you with things beyond your own control. For instance, if you have been doing everything, you do not fall terminally ill so you will not be able to attend to your plant. A wildfire don't start somewhere close to your farm and destroy your crop. Things like that.

When you are down, just remember that you have been down before. Remember that time in your life when it seems you have reached your end and how you got out of it. Your business may even fail totally but your next endeavour may bring you unprecedented achievements. That itself is God working.

what happened to the op didn't happen to you that is why you can spew trash.

@Martinez19,


You are so correct!!! The true muslim is the guy that CNN refers to as "deranged maniac"!!! He stones women, and beheads individuals as though his favourite book when he was a child was "THE HEADLESS HORSEMAN"!!!

the moderates are the hypocritical shit heads who don't know and practice their doctrines. May Allah forgive them.

[color=#000050]And how possible is that?[/color]

Are you minding Rashduct4luv? ask him the following questions :
1) did the Qur'an not say that non-Muslims should be killed is sighted by a muslim.
2) is death not the penalty for apostasy?
3) is Mohammed not a paedophile who tailored Islam to accommodate paedophilia?
4) is it a crime, according to the Qur'an, for a muslim to kill non-Muslims?

Many a times, when asked on TV if they support bombings and killings, the apologists and moderates won't say no instead they try to skip the question. They are all over YouTube.

Rashduct4luv:
I think you guys err when you study the Qur'an without its appropriate interpretation. Some verses can be correctly interpreted literally, some you need hadiths to interprete and some may require interpreting verses of the Qur'an with another verse(s) of the Qur'an. We need deep knowledge to understand Islam as the people it was revealed to understood it.

bullshit. The same way christians will say that you need the holy spirit to understand the bible when anybody can read it and understand.

hopefulLandlord:
This one is taking internet very seriously like every Nairalander are his siblings or he's their grandfather or he feeds them

this one doesn't realise all these "African respect" don't apply online and wants to force it

this one is such an internet novice he thinks he deserves the kinda respect his subordinates show to him in real life on the internet

This one probably wants us to address him as "Dr/Mr/Col Mistaderegal" every time we quote him

hehe.

Fekwa:
But you seem to be focusing on just the bad aspects of the Quran. The same Quran has in it other verses which are benign and are in direct contradiction to the relatively bad verses that influence and animate extremist ideologies. So, if going by what you say that every muslim should adhere to the literal meaning of the verses, then it would be practically impossible for anyone to be a sane devotee of Islam because they'd essentially be forced to abide by verses that contradict each other. At the end of the day it all boils down to interpretation. There has to be some form of picking and choosing and concerted effort into deeper understanding, and I believe that's what the institution of Islamic theology and scholarship addresses.

when will you ever get it? People's interpretation is not important. What is important is what the holy book actually says. Terrorism is a pillar of Islam.

ZandhaZaraZ:
Muhammed himself was a terrorist, a Jihadist, and Muslims are supposed to establish an Islamic Caliphate wherever they might be, and live by Sharia Law, because they shouldn't be living in societies governed and ruled by infidels and their impious VALUES. Are you saying it is wrong for Muslims to emulate their prophet, the highest examplar of "virtue"?

And if Holy Books are not to be read literally as meaning exactly what is written, who then decides the non-literal meanings of the verses? Anyone can just project their own beliefs on it and interpret it through that prism. It becomes a free for all---it can mean anything to anyone; whatever they want it to mean.

If some verses are only of HISTORICAL RELEVANCE, why were they included in a "timeless" book like the Quran, Allah's eternal and final message to the entire human race, that coexists with him in heaven? It only stands to reason that if the exact circumstances that necessitated those verses were to arise again in the modern age, then they're to apply the commandments given in those verses once again! THAT'S WHY THEY'RE THERE IN THE PERFECT, INFALLIBLE HOLY QUR'AN IN THE FIRST PLACE.

Gbam!

mujahid777:
A Muslim who doesn't take the Qur'an literally is a kaffir!

if the Qur'an is to be taken literally, so be it. I am for taking it as it is. If taking it literally means taking it as it is, so be it. What I am against is dubious interpretation by the so called apologist.

the actress is likely not lying. Addiction to weed has destroyed a lot of people. Wizkid is very talented. Who is to say that he wouldn't have done more is not for cannabis smoking habit?

Does science agree that the earth is round?

science says the earth is an oblate spheroid. the bible says the earth is flat and it's disc shaped.

lovingJehovah:
To what extent?

First of all, science is not in agreement with the fact that Yahweh exists.

The bible and science doesn't agree with each other.

Fekwa:
I think you seem to be conflating your definition of true religious adherence with religious literalism. The fact that someone reads a certain verse of the scripture and interprets it literally doesn't mean his interpretation is more accurate and more representative of what the religion stands for than someone who interprets that particular verse in a more benign form.

I think this whole case of Islamic extremism all boils down to interpretation and the Islamic ideology that animates this interpretation, because there are lots of Islamic ideologies and movements are built around these ideologies and these ideologies have lots of historical, philosophical and geopolitical influences.

The issue of Islamic terrorism isn't black and white. It's extremely complex and nuanced and I hate when uninformed people like the OP talk so boldly about an intricate issue they aren't well informed about.

bullshit. The holy books, the Qur'an and the bible, are clear on what they mean. Any honest and reasonable person should know that. I never spoke of taking the bible literally, instead I spoke of taking it as it is. Once again, the holy books are clear on what they mean, it doesn't matter the interpretation you give to it, what's important is what the books says.

More photos of the piraha tribe.

Whether the stupid and hypocritical theists like it or not, there is nothing actually extreme about religious extremism. What we call religious fanatism/extremism is simply taking a holy book as it is. The Islamic terrorists, that the so called moderate muslims are condemning and bad mouthing, are actually the true muslims. An Islamic terrorist is what happens when a muslim reads the Qur'an, digests it and take it as it.

What about christian extremists? Those that reject medicine for faith healing, those that are ready to be martyred(unlike the hypocrites of today ) etc. This is what you would expect if from someone who reads the bible, believes it and take it as it is.

These extremists are actually honest with their religious beliefs and are ever dedicated to them. To be a moderate in either Islam or christianity, you will have to ignore some part of the Qur'an/bible and that's hypocrisy. Moderates are never good examples of their holy books.
