most of yu guyz here are hypocrites. 18 year old is nt ripe fr marriage but how many of u were a virgin at 18? especially the gals among you.

may the Almighty reward him abundantly for his effort. some folks already turning this to religious war on this platform. the biggest problem of Nigeria is not our fantastically corrupt leaders but the shallow minded youth.must you see evrytyn from a religious/ethnic view

May the soul of the gallant soldiers rest in peace. they died protecting the nation. those of you rejoicing over their death. you should know that this soldier are human being like us who are just doing their jobs to survive. if they had been cases of soldiers unleashing terrors on civilians you should know that they are simply acting on orders from above. if you want revenge for that, it should nt be on the soldiers who are just doing deir legitimate jobs.
nigerians are the problem of nigeria. this militancy issue cnt be wiped out because they still enjoy local support. it is until the militants themselves start bringing terror on their host, before the community starts seeing them as a threat. i hope it wont be too late before the local residents realize this militants are only fighting for their pockets and dont have the general interests at heart

You are beating about the bus,
you once claimed that there are no verses that support killing in
the quran, now that I provided them, you now changed tune to "one has
to know tafsir".
I am no stranger to neither tafsir nor islamic history.
And no tafsir denies that killing your enemies(infidels) is wrong.
There are no two way about it killing is wrong no matter
the justification.
In fact exhortation to kill with vivid descriptives should never have been part of
the quran in the first place if the aim of Islam is peace.


I have a question for you, would you teach your children to "kill
those who transgress against them" and retaliate against
those who wronged them ?
If no, why should Allah sanction the killing of ones enemy ?

it seems you stil didn't get the message.
the message of the verse is not to kill but to defend. when someone fights you. are you supposed to fold yur arms? the verse is simple words is 'do no fight if they do not fight you cos Allah is forgiven. remember that this verse came when the muslims where returning back to their home (mecca)
if i am stil explaining this to you then you have no knowledge of tafsir.here are some of the things one shud know before it can be said that one has knowledge of tafsir and from the look of things, you dont have any

Usool at-Tafsir literally means “The Fundamental Principles of Qurnic Interpretation”. It refers to those branches of knowledge which are necessary to provide the proper Quranic interpretation (tafseer). This branch of knowledge provides the step-by-step methodology of interpreting the Quran to ensure that interpretations are not merely the result of human whims and fancies.

Uloom al-Quran, refers to all the fields of knowledge which aid in elucidating the Quran. These include the following:

1.Knowledge of tafsir (exegesis)

2.Qiraa’aat (recitations)

3.Ar-rasmul-‘Uthmaanee (the ‘Uthmaanic script)

4.I‘jaaz al-Quran (miraculous aspects of the Quran)

5.Asbaab an-nuzool (reasons for revelation)

6.I‘raab al-Quran (Quranic grammar)

7.Ghareeb al-Quran (unusual Quranic terms)

8.Religious rulings, and
Arabic language and literature.
my brother you have a long way to go if really u want to understand in clear terms the message of d Qur'an.
note: this is not a debate, i m just trying to tll u dats dere are lots of things you dont know about this book and it is just any book like a novel or Gazette that you can just pik up nd read without proper guidance

I assumed you are not pretending this is why I decided to reply you.
Here are a few "peaceful" quran verses commanding believers to kill.


Quran (2:191-193) - "And kill them wherever you find them, and turn them out from where they have turned you out. And Al-Fitnah [disbelief or unrest] is worse than killing...

Quran (4:74) - "Let those fight in the way of Allah who sell the life of this world for the other. Whoso fighteth in the way of Allah, be he slain or be he victorious, on him We shall bestow a vast reward."


Quran (4:89) - "They but wish that ye should reject Faith, as they do, and thus be on the same footing (as they): But take not friends from their ranks until they flee in the way of Allah (From what is forbidden). But if they turn renegades, seize them and slay them wherever ye find them; and (in any case) take no friends or helpers from their ranks."


Quran (5:33) - "The punishment of those who wage war against Allah and His messenger and strive to make mischief in the land is only this, that they should be murdered or crucified or their hands and their feet should be cut off on opposite sides or they should be imprisoned; this shall be as a disgrace for them in this world, and in the hereafter they shall have a grievous chastisement"


Quran (8:67) - "It is not for a Prophet that he should have prisoners of war until he had made a great slaughter in the land..."

Quran (9:5) - "So when the sacred months have passed away, then slay the idolaters wherever you find them, and take them captive and besiege them and lie in wait for them in every ambush, then if they repent and keep up prayer and pay the poor-rate, leave their way free to them."


and here is the verse stating the punishment for those who refuse to engage in jihad:

Quran (9:38-39) - "O ye who believe! what is the matter with you, that, when ye are asked to go forth in the cause of Allah, ye cling heavily to the earth? Do ye prefer the life of this world to the Hereafter? But little is the comfort of this life, as compared with the Hereafter. Unless ye go forth, He will punish you with a grievous penalty, and put others in your place."


Since you claimed to be ignorant of these verses, I don't expect you to try to defend them because
you said there were no such verses in the quran. Now that I have shown you the verses
are you still proud of your "infallible" book and its faith ?


And stop being fixated about the bible, I am not the author neither
do I believe that killing is ever justified so I don't see any reason why you are
trying to rope me into jewish history.
I will appreciate you stick to the topic, justify quran with the quran not any other
book!

sowie it took ds long. being inevitably busy. reqd the verse below to c how u misquoted the Quran.
2:190Fight in the way of Godthose who fight you but do not transgress. Indeed. God does not like transgressors.2:191 And kill them wherever you find them andexpel them from wherever they have expelled you,and fitnah [Persecution] is worse than killing. Anddo not fight them at al-Masjid al- Haramuntil they fight you there. But if they fight you, then kill them. Such is the recompense of the disbelievers.2:192And if they cease, then indeed, God is Forgiving and Merciful.2:193Fight them until there is no [more] fitnah [Persecution]and [until] worship is for God. But ifthey cease, then there is to be no aggression except against the oppressors.2:194 [Fighting in] the sacred month is for [aggression committed in] the sacred month, and for [all] violations is legal retribution. So whoever has assaulted you, then assault him in the same way that he has assaulted you. And fearGod and know that God is with those who fear Him.2:195 And spend in the way of God and do not throw [yourselves] with your [own] hands into destruction [by refraining]. And do good; indeed, God loves the doers of good.
it is important for you to know dat before one can be a translator of the quran, one has to knw tafsir. similarly, the word jihad means to strrive
this verse specifically warns the muslim not to fight if they are not attacked

if we say that godgmfatherism is the reason for being shortlisted we might have a point. but the most important factor is the Creator himself. in the just concluded screening so many pple who were on the original list were screened out for medical reasons. some for falsificatn of age. Even if S. Abubakar is your godfather you cant face the selection board without passing medicals. as at 7th of july, half of the shortlisted candidates were disqualified for one reason or the other. the gal that came first in the race with just 10mins was screened out for having tatoo. all in all, if one is picked is because God wants one to be picked. the list of those that will be picked for the sox month will be released tomorrow or next tomorrow according to the board chairman and training starts nextweek. a big shoutout to mimzy007 and everyone who shared vital info on this forum.

Since you are not aware of any verse in the quran that sanction killing,
I am afraid this discussion is over.
While some apologists lie with style , your own lie is direct.

But I am always amazed that a typical muslim apologists usually quotes
bible atrocities to justify quran's terror, it is an open secret that quran
was derived from the most barbaric laws of the old testament , so why stating
the obvious ?

I know you are ashamed of your faith and the the things it represent, hence
your futile attempts of denying reality but if this is not a case of wilful ignorance
I will advice you to get your hands on the quran and the sahih hadiths, you
will have enough "facts" to yourself.

we are very different. i showed you biblical verse that supports killing you could not show me a single quranic verse to prove me wrong. islam condemn killing there are sevral prove of this in the quran. enlighten ursef nd stop following what pple say. learn and make research. the internet is dere for you.
i still stand on my point dat no VERSE in d QUR'AN supports unjust killing. if you feel otherwise provide a qurabic verse or keep shut. i will alwaz be proud of my religion

neocortex:
Sorry, I thought I was debating a knowledgeable person.

The first point you missed is that Islam isn't just a religion,
it is a also a tool of politics and power play, when you consider this
everything about the jihadist starts to make sense.

You went ahead to quote Quran 2:256 without context as if it is superior
to all other verses.
Is a killing justified because you feel so or the sunnah condones it ?
Are you more knowledgeable than the prophet and his companions ?

I won't engage in any back and forth just to convince you of what is
written in the quran.

so you have knowledge of d Quran? i am not your typical debate mate. you have no idea about lots of things. you mentioned understanding quran in its context like you even know the quran literally. i can quote between 5-10 verses of the quran which condemn unjust killlings to prove you have no point. you said other verses support killings. can u just pick out a verse of d quran that supports killing.
your problem is that you have spent so much of your time listening to islamophobes view of the deen so much that you think you start believing in them. islam is a lifelong phenomenon which you cant fully grab even after 25 years of rigorous study.
let me teach you how to debate with facts and not just assumptions which you are used to.
"christianity is the foundation of religious intolerance and terrorism."
evidenced for this can be found in the bible. i wont just say evidence can be found i l quote them like this
Joshua 6:20-21, God helps the Israelites destroy Jericho, killing “men and women, young and old, cattle, sheep and donkeys.” In Deuteronomy 2:32-35, God has the Israelites kill everyone in Heshbon, including children. In Deuteronomy 3:3-7, God has the Israelites do the same to the people of Bashan. In Numbers  31:7-18, the Israelites kill all the Midianites except for the virgins, whom they take as spoils of war. In 1 Samuel 15:1-9, God tells the Israelites to kill all the Amalekites – men, women, children, infants, and their cattle – for something the Amalekites’ ancestors had done 400 years earlier.

God kills 14,000 people for complaining that God keeps killing them.In Numbers 16:41-49, the Israelites complain that God is killing too many of them. So, God sends a plague that kills 14,000 more of them.
reply only if you can argue with fact. otherwise just keep quiet and learn

Who is a Muslim ?

From Syria to Iraq to Afghanistan, the graduates of Saudi-funded madrassas are wrecking
havoc on peoples lives and properties.
It is an open secret but you may choose to ignore it for religious and egoistical reasons.

In islam it is believed that intentions are superior to deeds so the idea of "unjust killings"
in relation to conflicts and war does not hold water as it could be justified as being done
for the greater good(the spread of Islam).

first, madrasa literally means school. again you are writing wthout facts. which of the terror group openly declared that they are killing to spread religion? which religion are they spreading? do you spread a religion by bombing the practitioner of that sane religion? you are pointing accusations on saudi wthout evidence. i repeat, dere is no where in d Qur'an that it is spread that we should spread islam by killing. muslims are guided by two books; the Quran nd the ahadeeth of the prophet. none of this book supports unjust killing.
"There is no compulsion in religion; truly the right way has become clearly distinct from error; therefore, whoever disbelieves in the Shaitan and believes in Allah he indeed has laid hold on the firmest handle, which shall not break off, and Allah is Hearing, Knowing."
(Quran 2:256

you and i know you dont have evidence for your comment. instead of saying what you dont know why not just keep quiet and avoid being a source of misguidance.
THERE IS NO MUSLIM that will encourage or establish terrorism. anyone who encourages terrorism is not a muslim simply because the basic tenet of islam frowns at unjust killings. evidence for this are found in several chapters of the Quran

Muslims don't take responsibility for anything!
Just watch em ignorant souls flood here to blame Isreal and America forgeting that the first person to murder people in medina is Mohammed(S.A.W) himself, why won't his follower follow suit?

haba... why wil u say something you dint know just to prove a point. where is your evidence? pple of medina are ansar ul islam( it was not taken by conquest). please note, the prophet never murdered anyone. except you dont know the meaning of murder

Bro, just forget about those guys.. The problem started when Aregbesola merged those schools both muslim and christians alike.

Each school has their particular clothing regulations (some don't, but most do). If 'religious' reasons are good enough to let students wear whatever they want, then the Baptist should be allowed to wear their robes, Catholics should be allowed to wear their symbol and Satanists should be allowed to wear an upside down cross or
whatever.

Majority of the Muslims that claim they don't offend other people and that islam is a religion of peace, why does it sure tells them to offend a lot of 'non-believers' in the Quran.

Quran (8:12) - "I will cast terror into the hearts of those who
disbelieve. Therefore strike off their heads and strike off every
fingertip of them"

Quran (8:39) - "And fight with them until there is no more fitna (disorder, unbelief) and religion should be only for Allah"

Quran (9:5) - "So when the sacred months have passed away, then slay the idolaters wherever you find them, and take them captive and besiege them and lie in wait for them in every ambush, then if they repent and keep up prayer and pay the poor-rate, leave their way free to them." they go directly against my rights of religious beliefs and freedom.

Just leave those guys joor bro, let's sit back, relax and watch how this movie unfolds..

for your mind you sabi quote Qur'an ba?
Now go, attack the Amalekites and totally destroy everything that belongs to them. Do not spare them; put to death men and women, children and infants, cattle and sheep, camels and donkeys .' " … He took Agag king of the Amalekites alive, and all his people he totally destroyed with the sword .(NIV)
Samaria shall bear her guilt, because she has rebelled against her God; they shall fall by the sword, their little ones shall be dashed in pieces, and their pregnant women ripped open . (NRSV)
God kills 50,000 people for curiosity.In 1 Samuel 6:19, God kills 50,000 men for peeking into the ark of the covenant.(Newer cosmetic translations count only 70 deaths, but their text notes admit that the best and earliest manuscripts put the number at 50,070.)7. 3,000 Israelites killed for inventing a god.In Exodus 32, Moses has climbed Mount Sinai to get the Ten Commandments. The Israelites are bored, so they invent a golden calf god. Moses comes back and God commands him: “Each man strap a sword to his side. Go back and forth through the camp from one end to the other, each killing his brother and friend and neighbor.” About 3,000 people died.

Genocide after genocide after genocide.In Joshua 6:20-21, God helps the Israelites destroy Jericho, killing “men and women, young and old, cattle, sheep and donkeys.” In Deuteronomy 2:32-35, God has the Israelites kill everyone in Heshbon, including children. In Deuteronomy 3:3-7, God has the Israelites do the same to the people of Bashan. In Numbers  31:7-18, the Israelites kill all the Midianites except for the virgins, whom they take as spoils of war.

God slaughters all Egyptian firstborn.In Exodus 12:29, God the baby-killer slaughters all Egyptian firstborn children and cattle because their king was stubborn.

2. God kills half a million people.In 2 Chronicles 13:15-18, God helps the men of Judah kill 500,000 of their fellow Israelites.

1. God drowns the whole earth.In Genesis 7:21-23, God drowns the entire population of the earth: men, women, children, fetuses, and perhaps unicorns. Only a single family survives. In Matthew 24:37-42, gentle Jesus approves of this genocide and plans to repeat it when he returns.

Zephaniah 2:12-15"You Ethiopians will also be slaughteredbymysword," says the LORD.And the LORD will strike the lands of the north with his fist. He will destroyAssyriaand make its great capital,Nineveh, a desolate wasteland, parched like a desert. The city that once was so proud will become a pasture for sheep and cattle. All sorts of wild animals will settle there. Owls of many kinds will live among the ruins of its palaces, hooting from the gaping windows. Rubble will block all the doorways, and the cedar paneling will lie open to the wind and weather. This is the fate of that boisterous city, once so secure. "In all the world there is no city as great as I," it boasted. But now, look how it has become an utter ruin, a place where animals live! Everyone passing that way will laugh in derision or shake a defiant fist

Ezekiel 9:5-7"ThenI heard the LORD sayto the other men, "Follow him through the city and kill everyone whose forehead is not marked. Show no mercy; have no pity! Kill them all – old and young, girls and women and little children. But do not touch anyone with the mark. Begin your task right here at the Temple." So they began by killing the seventy leaders. "Defile the Temple!" the LORD commanded. "Fill its courtyards with the bodies of those you kill! Go!" So they went throughout the city and did as they were told."

anyone who opposed the idea of hijab by muslims is being hypocritic. hijab is part of a muslims dress. they dont only wear it to pray, they wear it in all their activities. the only placw they allowed to be without hijab is when they are inside their homes with their family members or with same sex.
more importantly, the hijab that was authorized by the court is the shoulder length. so, it has not altered the uniform. if you say that they should not be worn in missionary school, u may have a point but who controls the recruitment and dismissal of staff in those missionary schools? if its the government that pays their remuneration then its binding on them to follow the Judiciary's decision. even if you attend private school u will recite songs of praise as a muslim. weekend in Nigeria is saturday and sunday. friday is a working day, yet we are not complaining. if CAN is a follower of biblical teaching it ought to support wearing of eejab cos the bible supports covering of the hair and it also preaches tolerance

Riot policemen (Mobile Police aka MOPOL) are more competent than soldiers in this country, in every way. Soldiers merely have a psychological edge because they are made to believe they are superior to everyone else. Bunch of hopeless losers.

ofcourse, the bombing is affecting the economy. but will this stop buhari from running for another term?
the people behind this militancy should think about that. no matter how bad this situation becomes, it will not reduce a dime from the inflow of money this current politicians are getting and wont stop them from enjoying their lives. the only people it might affect is the populace. the people it will affect more is those located where the incident is happening cos investors will surely pull out. even if oil production stops, politicians will rather borrow in the nation's name than sufffer.
now, who is the NDA hurting? the people they claim to be representing or the Nigerian economy?

most of y'all saying glo network is slow probably might not have used the network b4 but just choose to jump on the ship of conclusion to say its slow. i am staying in mando, kaduna presently and glo os faster than airtel, mtn and even ur almighty eti. yea, faster than etisalat. using speed test, i clocked 3.7mps on a particular evening. before now, i have leaved in OAU and most students there use Glo to browse as its very fast. same in zaria and in ota, ogun state. before You criticize i am not a glo customer care rep just sharing mu view.

the post is about the expelled pupils and most of you who are not lucky enough to gain admission to the school are ranting. there is NO UNIVERSITY in nigeria that has a 100% merit in Nigeria. as for those that met the requirement and were not given admission. several factors are involved b4 admission is granted. catchment area, the course, your combination in jamb etc. you can score 270 in jamb and 70 in p.jamb and still not get admitted if you have the wrong combinatn in your jamb for the course you put in for.
and even if they will give you another course they will still have to consider those who originally pikd the course b4 they consider you. also, some course naturally dont admit much. LIS,MASSCOMM, COMP SCIENCE, TEL. SCIENCE, BUSINESS ADMIN, CHEMICAL ENGINEERING,NURSING. All this courses can only take little. again, i am not saying admission is 100% on merit but remember this before you criticize the better by far University.

If a Christian engages in violence in the name of Christ, he is doing so in direct disobedience of His Master. Jesus taught that all who live by the sword will die by it ( Matthew 26:52 ).
whereas, In Sura 9 , “But when the forbidden months are past, then fight and slay the pagans wherever ye find them, and seize them, beleaguer them, and lie in wait for them in every stratagem [of war]; but if they repent, and establish regular prayers and
practice regular charity, then open the way for them: for God is Oft-forgiving, Most Merciful” (Sura 9:5). Also in Sura 9, “Fight those who believe not in God nor the Last Day, nor hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden by God and His Apostle, nor acknowledge the religion of Truth, [even if they are] of the People of the Book, until they pay the jizya [tribute] with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued” (Sura 9:29).
The teachings and example of Muhammad are very different. A Muslim who desires to commit violence in the name of Islam can find ample justification for his action both in the Koran and in the words and actions of the prophet Muhammad. same justification which these terrorists support there actions with.

to you now every verse that promotes violence are that of moses, i hv several contradictn verses of d bible that dispute your claim. i l share them dependn on ur ability to reason maturely and interact wthout vulgar languages.

xtians lik to misquote a lot. dd u read d preceedn nd suceedn verse too? here is the verse 6
And if one of the idolaters seek protection from you, grant him protection till he hears the word of Allah, then make him attain his place of safety; this is because they are a people who do not know.
u r claimn dt jesus alredi tld u dt he wu leaves by d sword dies by it so, xtians re free from commitn violence. they are several verses in d Quran too condemn violence too and no where! is violence promoted. u c my brother, majority of yall dnt understand d Qur'an and yet you quote it. taubah 9:29 is an historical event buh nonetheless every chapter of d Quran revealed has explantion and interpretation which is more comlrehensiv than just translation. below is an explanation for the verse, pls read wth an open mind or dere is no need for me to explain den
PAYING JIZYA IS THE CONDITION FOR FIGHTING. THIS STATEMENT IS TOTALLY IGNORED OR OVERLOOKED WHEN LEVYING THIS ALLEGATION OF VIOLENCE ON MUSLIMS .
This verse doesn’t ask the Muslims to do mindless slaughter as the media portrays or deceives. It gives the Muslims the permission to fight only those non-Muslims who do not pay jizya – the state tax. And we all know that jizya is applicable only in an Islamic state. Neither India, nor US or Britain are Islamic states. So to put this verse as an excuse for what happened there only shows how biased, unknowledgable and unfair the media is.
2. THE VERSE DOES NOT ASK THE MUSLIMS TO DO FORCEFUL CONVERSIONS.
Again, the verse permits the muslims to fight the non –muslims in an islamic state ONLY and ONLY if they refuse to pay the jizya – Willingly . Re-read the verse from ANY translation if you are not sure. But once they pay the jizya tax they can continue to believe in their atheistic pagan beliefs, but it will be under an Islamic state. You can still forgive them by not forcing them into Islam, nor oppressing them or being bad to them because of their wrong beliefs.
3. JIZYA ISN’T A RANSOM OR A BAD THING
Coming back to the verse, now people might say isn’t it unfair that they have to pay the jizya tax? Not really. Since when is punishment for refusal to pay lawful taxes considered as terrorism? Also, the jizya tax is very cheap and affordable, and it grants the non-Muslim’s many benefits, benefits which even the Muslims don’t get! For instance, the non-Muslims who are paying jizya in an Islamic state are not obliged to take part in any battle or war, unless they themselves choose to, the Muslims do not have this choice. Muslims have to actually burn their asses out to protect both Muslims and non-Muslims living in their lands . Also if the Islamic state cannot grant protection to the non-Muslims then the non-Muslims are not obliged to pay the jizya tax, since Muslims themselves must meet expectations for the jizya tax to be implemented. Also, Society today has no problem in paying taxes to the government, so therefore they should have no problem in paying a tax in an Islamic state either.
