Why has omo onile not driven dangote away? Why Is it that oil companies left warri but are still in lagos? Keep shooting yourself in the feet an expect to walk tomorrow.

did you read the post properly. I for one have worked for billionaires from ND whose monies are from oil business. Greed and laziness is a reason for the present state and until that is addressed amongst the youth. There can't be any development.

Which region lacks greedy and lazy youth? Are the almajiri and wider Hausa youth paragons of hard work and discipline? What about the omonile and Yoruba area boys? Have you used them as a yardstick in dealing with their regions? Let's all say the truth. If there was absolutely no reason for militancy it wouldn't exist, as it is however the born to rule hegemonists and their slaves continue to fuel militancy by action and inaction.

But you know its true. You teamed up in a war to ensure your access to oil without any consideration for the owners true or false? You allocate oil blocks without consideration for the owners true or false? What have you even done for this region? Be honest. The wasteful profligate lifestyle of the bourgeoisie in this country is at the expense of this region with nothing absolutely nothing given in return. They've had enough.

Dude, that's like saying because everyone around me is cheating and stealing that means that means my crimes are not that bad. Its all the same. What i am saying is that with the money the Niger Delta is getting there has been hardly any improvements so why all the clamor for more money? Do you trust the same leaders who embezzled the little they were getting to be faithful with much?

Also, you have still not answered my initial question? Why are you still not holding your local and state leaders accountable?

What do you mean by holding accountable?? The youth are revolting against the entire arrangement that short changes their region including state and local level politicians. The corrupt systems of state have been designed by the same people you expect it to be used against. You think the governors and LGA chairmen are enjoying militancy? When tyranny becomes the law rebellion becomes a duty. Besides you are avoiding the big picture: Hausa fulani coopted the Yoruba in a game of numbers to loot the delta. They created the laws, decided the boundaries, ceded bakassi, refuse even to negotiate and you want the militants to do what? Clap for you? Be real.

Dude, but why are you not holding your state leaders and local govt leaders accountable? They are embezzling the money allocated to your states and yet you guys only point to the fed govt or to the north.
Why don't the youth march to the state house of assembly or to there local govt administration and demand a change instead you guys are pointing to Abuja.

Mr. Man, if you are this concerned why don't you at least phone (or protest) your state represensatives and tell them to focus on the issues that affect the region instead of them focusing on embezzling money?

Embezzlement is not unique to the Niger delta, most Nigerian politicians loot. The agitation in the delta is about one region being shortchanged by an organized gang up of outsiders.

You may as well extend your memory and nistalgia to the time when whites ruled Nigeria and things "worked" . you wrote this lengthy epistle with no mention of the causes of militancy, you compare lagos a place the represents the conspiracy against the Niger delta with warri a place that has suffered and is still suffering at the hands of hausa-fulani feudalists and their Yoruba accomplices, and you expect to be taken seriously. You want the owners of the oil to be content with welding and catering and even prostitution while the thieves cart away everything to their regions? Clap for yourself. Militancy was caused by marginalization and will continue until redress is made.

Christianity Etc › Re: Mock The Wh0re by newbornmacho(m): 2:11pm On Sep 06, 2016

An2elect2:
THE WH0RE sees Peter as
the first pope upon whom God had chosen to build His
church LOL (Matthew 16:18 ). It holds that he had
authority (primacy) over the other apostles. The
Roman Catholic Church maintains that sometime after
the recorded events of the book of Acts, the
Apostle Peter became the first bishop of Rome, and
that the Roman bishop was accepted by the early
church as the central authority among all of the
churches. It teaches that God passed Peter’s
apostolic authority to those who later filled his seat as
bishop of Rome. This teaching that God passed on
Peter’s apostolic authority to the subsequent
bishops is referred to as “apostolic succession.”Right?
The Roman Catholic Church also holds that Peter
and the subsequent popes were and are infallible
when addressing issues “ex cathedra,” from their
position and authority as pope. It teaches that this
infallibility gives the pope the ability to guide the
church without error. The Roman Catholic Church
claims that it can trace an unbroken line of popes back
to St. Peter, citing this as evidence that it is the true
church, since, according to their interpretation of
Matthew 16:18 , Christ built His church upon
Peter.Lolzzzz
But while Peter was central in the early spread of
the gospel (part of the meaning behind Matthew
16:18-19 ), the teaching of Scripture, taken in
context, nowhere declares that he was in authority
over the other apostles, or over the church (having
primacy). See Acts 15:1-23 ; Galatians 2:1-14 ; and 1
Peter 5:1-5 . Nor is it ever taught in Scripture that
the bishop of Rome, or any other bishop, was to have
primacy over the church. Scripture does not even
explicitly record Peter even being in Rome. Rather
there is only one reference in Scripture of Peter
writing from “Babylon,” a name sometimes applied to
Rome ( 1 Peter 5:13 ). Primarily upon this and the
historical rise of the influence of the Bishop of Rome
come the Roman Catholic Church’s teaching of the
primacy of the bishop of Rome. However, Scripture
shows that Peter’s authority was shared by the
other apostles ( Ephesians 2:19-20 ), and the “loosing
and binding” authority attributed to him was likewise
shared by the local churches, not just their church
leaders (see Matthew 18:15-19 ; 1 Corinthians
5:1-13 ; 2 Corinthians 13:10 ; Titus 2:15 ; 3:10-11 ).
Also, nowhere does Scripture state that, in order to
keep the church from error, the authority of the
apostles was passed on to those they ordained (the
idea behind apostolic succession). Apostolic
succession is “read into” those verses that the
Roman Catholic Church uses to support this doctrine
(2 Timothy 2:2 ; 4:2-5 ; Titus 1:5 ; 2:1 ; 2:15 ; 1
Timothy
5:19-22 ). Paul does NOT call on believers in various
churches to receive Titus, Timothy, and other
church leaders based on their authority as bishops
or their having apostolic authority, but rather based
upon their being fellow laborers with him ( 1
Corinthians 16:10 ; 16:16 ; 2 Corinthians 8:23 ).
What Scripture DOES teach is that false teachings
would arise even from among church leaders, and
that Christians were to compare the teachings of
these later church leaders with Scripture, which
alone is infallible (Matthew 5:18 ; Psalm 19:7-8 ;
119:160 ; Proverbs 30:5 ; John 17:17 ; 2 Peter
1:19-21 ). The Bible does not teach that the apostles
were infallible, apart from what was written by them
and incorporated into Scripture. Paul, in talking to
the church leaders in the large city of Ephesus,
makes note of coming false teachers. To fight
against their error does NOT commend them to “the
apostles and those who would carry on their
authority”; rather, Paul commends them to “God and
to the word of His grace” (Acts 20:28-32 ). It is
Scripture that was to be the infallible measuring stick
for teaching and practice (2 Timothy 3:16-17 ), not
apostolic successors. It is by examining the
Scriptures that teachings are shown to be true or
false ( Acts 17:10-12 ).
Was Peter the first pope? The answer, according to
Scripture, is a clear and emphatic “no.” Peter
nowhere claims supremacy over the other apostles.
Nowhere in his writings (1 and 2 Peter) did the
Apostle Peter claim any special role, authority, or
power over the church. Nowhere in Scripture does
Peter, or any other apostle, state that their apostolic
authority would be passed on to successors. Yes,
the Apostle Peter had a leadership role among the
disciples. Yes, Peter played a crucial role in the
early spread of the gospel (Acts chapters 1-10).
Yes, Peter was the “rock” that Christ predicted he
would be (Matthew 16:18 ). However, these truths
about Peter in no way give support to the concept
that Peter was the first pope, or that he was the
“supreme leader” over the apostles, or that his
authority would be passed on to the bishops of
Rome. Peter himself points us all to the true
Shepherd and Overseer of the church, the Lord
Jesus Christ ( 1 Peter 2:25 )

How are you young lady? Kudos on speaking truth to power. More ink to your pen.

Foreign Affairs › Trump Leads Clinton In New CNN Poll by newbornmacho(op): 1:34pm On Sep 06, 2016

Hillary Clinton's lead over Donald Trump has largely evaporated, according to a new CNN/ORC Poll
Libertarian Gary Johnson stands at 7%
Washington (CNN)Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton start the race to November 8 on essentially even ground, with Trump edging Clinton by a scant two points among likely voters, and the contest sparking sharp divisions along demographic lines in a new CNN/ORC Poll.

Trump tops Clinton 45% to 43% in the new survey, with Libertarian Gary Johnson standing at 7% among likely voters in this poll and the Green Party's Jill Stein at just 2%.

How Donald Trump could win
The topsy-turvy campaign for the presidency has seen both Clinton and Trump holding a significant lead at some point in the last two months, though Clinton has topped Trump more often than not. Most recently, Clinton's convention propelled her to an 8-point lead among registered voters in an early-August CNN/ORC Poll. Clinton's lead has largely evaporated despite a challenging month for Trump, which saw an overhaul of his campaign staff, announcements of support for Clinton from several high-profile Republicans and criticism of his campaign strategy. But most voters say they still expect to see Clinton prevail in November, and 59% think she will be the one to get to 270 electoral votes vs. 34% who think Trump has the better shot at winning.
Read: The complete CNN/ORC poll results
Neither major third party candidate appears to be making the gains necessary to reach the 15% threshold set by the Commission on Presidential Debates, with just three weeks to go before the first debate on September 26.
The new poll finds the two major party candidates provoke large gaps by gender, age, race, education and partisanship. Among those likely to turn out in the fall, both candidates have secured about the same share of their own partisans (92% of Democrats back Clinton, 90% of Republicans are behind Trump) but independents give Trump an edge, 49% say they'd vote for him while just 29% of independent voters back Clinton. Another 16% back Johnson, 6% Stein.
CNN Politics app
Women break for Clinton (53% to 38%) while men shift Trump's way (54% to 32%). Among women, those who are unmarried make up the core of her support, 73% of unmarried women back Clinton compared with just 36% of married women. Among men, no such marriage gap emerges, as both unmarried and married men favor Trump.
Younger voters are in Clinton's corner (54% to 29% among those under age 45) while the older ones are more apt to back Trump (54% to 39% among those age 45 or older). Whites mostly support Trump (55% to 34%), while non-whites favor Clinton by a nearly 4-to-1 margin (71% to 18%). Most college grads back Clinton while those without degrees mostly support Trump, and that divide deepens among white voters. Whites who do not hold college degrees support Trump by an almost 3-to-1 margin (68% to 24%) while whites who do have college degrees split 49% for Clinton to 36% for Trump and 11% for Johnson.
Support for Johnson seems to be concentrated among groups where Clinton could stand to benefit from consolidating voters. Although direct comparison between the poll's two-way, head-to-head matchup and its four-way matchup doesn't suggest that Johnson is pulling disproportionately from either candidate, his supporters come mostly among groups where a strong third-party bid could harm Clinton's standing: Younger voters (particularly younger men), whites with college degrees, and independents, notably.
Sign up for CNN Politics' Nightcap newsletter, serving up today's best and tomorrow's essentials in politics.

The poll follows several national polls in August suggesting that the margin between the two candidates had tightened following the conventions. A CNN Poll of Polls analysis released Friday showed that Clinton's lead had been cut in half when compared with the height of her convention bounce.
While enthusiasm for the campaign has continued to inch up, it remains well off the mark compared with this point in other recent presidential election years. In the new poll, 46% say they are extremely or very enthusiastic, compared with 57% at this point in 2012, 60% in early September of 2008 and 64% in September 2004.
Further, nearly half of voters say they are less enthusiastic about voting in this election than they have been in previous years, while just 42% say they're more excited about this year's contest. Although this question hasn't been asked in every presidential election year, in CNN/ORC and CNN/USA Today/Gallup results dating back to 2000, this poll marks the first time that a significantly larger share of voters say they are less enthusiastic about this year's election. The lack of enthusiasm spikes among Clinton supporters. A majority of Clinton's supporters say they're less excited about voting this year than usual (55%) while most of Trump's backers say they're more excited this time around (56%).

That could be contributing to Trump's slim advantage among likely voters. Among the broader pool of registered voters, Clinton edges Trump by 3 points. The shift among these voters since the convention is largely due to a rebound in Trump's numbers rather than a slide in Clinton's. He's gone from 37% support then to 41% among registered voters now.
Trump holds an edge over Clinton as more trusted to handle two of voters' top four issues -- the economy (56% trust Trump vs. 41% Clinton) and terrorism (51% Trump to 45% Clinton). Clinton holds a solid edge on foreign policy (56% trust her to Trump's 40%), and the public is divided over the fourth issue in the bunch, immigration. On that, 49% favor Clinton's approach, 47% Trump's. At Trump's recent campaign appearances, he has argued that he would do more to improve life for racial and ethnic minorities, but voters seem to disagree, 58% say Clinton is better on that score vs. 36% who choose Trump, and among non-whites, 86% choose Clinton to just 12% who think Trump would better improve their lives.
Trump has his largest edge of the campaign as the more honest and trustworthy of the two major candidates (50% say he is more honest and trustworthy vs. just 35% choosing Clinton) and as the stronger leader, 50% to 42%. Clinton continues to be seen as holding the better temperament to serve effectively as president (56% to 36%) and better able to handle the responsibilities of commander in chief (50% to 45%).

On honesty, Clinton's backers express greater skepticism about their candidate than do Trump's supporters. When asked which candidate is more honest and trustworthy, 94% of Trump's backers say he is, while just 70% of those behind Clinton choose her, with 11% saying Trump is more trustworthy and 17% saying neither of them are. And when voters were asked to name the one issue that would be most important to their vote for president, 5% named honesty or trustworthiness as their top choice, ranking it on par with foreign policy and jobs.
Both candidates remain largely unliked, with majorities saying they have an unfavorable view of each candidate in the new poll.
The CNN/ORC Poll was conducted by telephone Sept. 1-4 among a random national sample of 1,001 adults. The survey includes results among 886 registered voters and 786 likely voters. For results among registered or likely voters, the margin of sampling error is plus or minus 3.5 percentage points.

lawani:
WHERE MATHEMATICS MEETS THEOLOGY!

The trivial zeros, trivial roots or, easily located roots of the Rieman Zeta function is at all negative even integers -2, -4 and etc but the interesting roots, the non trivial solutions that are not easily located, the ones that have been found so far, are complex numbers all having their real part equal to half. Why is this so? No one knows!. So we take it like that! If you can solve the riddle, you will have a formula that can pattern the distribution of prime numbers, because the interesting zeros of a Riemann zeta function are distributed like prime numbers 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23........ There is a law guiding the distribution of prime numbers but it is a hidden law and in fact, prime numbers just like the non trivial zeros of a Riemann zeta function definitely fall on a straight line because they both follow an irregular pattern. Bernard Riemann was only able to discover the straight line of the Riemann zeta function, maybe an atheist can deduce the straight line of prime numbers!, what binds them together, then we start the journey of trying to prove why!

The design of a prime spectrometer has been elusive so far!

Take Ifa for example, take the Odu Okanran elerin in particular, an Awo divined for a female looking for a good husband and another Awo divined for a male looking for a good wife, they were both asked to place a sacrifice, ebo in thesame place, they arrived there at thesame time and were praying, they overheard themselves, then fell in love and got married! It became an ese ifa in Okanran meji known as Okanran Elerin, the laughing Okanran.

Odi meji was divined for an Awo going to Ode Bini saying he will jam blessings, he will walk in in time, he was asked to offer sacrifice which he did, he went to Benin and heard of their King's death, he went to commiserate with them, he entered just when the oracle said a stranger should be made King. He was made King! It became an Ifa verse an ese ifa

There are thousands of such verses which falls on a straight line of real occurrence, truth! There are others based on careful observation of nature like the odu Alagemo in Ofun Osa and etc etc. Thousands of them falling on the straight line of nature or actual occurrence.

Those are roots. Not predictable as well. There are many of such that happen regularly. Each and every Ifa verse is a root of knowlegde and if something is true, you can stand on it, you can use it to make charms, you can use it as foundation, you can use it in debates which actually is what Oogun is. You have to explain yourself carefully to an Oogun or charm before it can work for you, citing real events that happened and etc.

So if you make a divination for a client as an Awo and it comes to pass exactly, kindly incorporate the event into your library of odus under the appropriate chapter, it is a non trivial root, it is on a straight line!

Ase!

Wetin be this one again?

Donald Trump
Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump meets with active and retired law enforcement in Akron, Ohio, on Aug. 22, 2016. If this week's string of vague and contradictory statements by Trump and his team revealed anything, it's that his immigration policy is still evolving. Just days ago Trump reshuffled his campaign staff just as he tries to recalibrate his message for the general election, in which his tough stance on immigration may be more of a liability than it was in the Republican primary. (AP Photo/Gerald Herbert, File)
Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump has moved ahead of Democratic challenger Hillary Clinton, according to a new poll.

The Rasmussen Reports poll released Thursday has Trump at 40 percent to Clinton's 39 percent. Libertarian nominee Gary Johnson received 7 percent; Green Party nominee Jill Stein got 3 percent. Seven percent remain undecided.

Last week's version of the same poll showed Clinton ahead by 4 points – 42 percent to 38 percent. Her support in the Rasmussen poll peaked in early August just after the Democratic National Convention when it reached 44 percent.

The poll – while still the outlier and with results within the survey's margin of error – marks the first time Trump has led Clinton in a national poll since mid-July.

Real Clear Politics polling average – which includes the Rasmussen Reports' poll – has Clinton up by almost 4 percentage points. The average puts Clinton with 42 percent support, Trump at 38 percent; Johnson at 8 percent and Stein at 3 percent.

Do their parties support their candidates?

The Rasmussen poll showed both candidates losing support from their respective parties.

Trump now has the backing of 71 percent of Republicans, down from 76 percent a week ago. Clinton has 73 percent of the Democratic vote, down from 79 percent in the previous survey.

There are some voters willing to move across party lines, however. Fifteen percent of Democrats said they planned on voting for Trump; 12 percent of Republicans said they were backing Clinton.

The GOP nominee continues to hold a small lead among voters not affiliated with either major political party, this week leading 36 percent to 28 percent.

This is my last post on

my first question is this : If God predestined everything, then why eternally condemn the non-elect? After all, it is not their fault they were predestined to be damned!

why did Jesus die for everyone? so he could randomly pick whom he will save that would also contradict your stance

if only those that are predestined are saved from sin then You make God a liar if not how can you explain john3:16-18
If God predestined everything, then God created sin.

1 John 2:2, which states that "He is the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only, but also for those of the whole world."

“WHOSOEVER shall confess me before men, him will I confess before my father in heaven,” Matthew 10:32.

“And it shall come to pass that WHOSOEVER shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved,” Acts 2:21.

“And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son to be the savior of the WHOLE WORLD,” 1 John 4:14.

am trying not to involve logic and vain philosophy into this that why I am dwelling on the scripture but if after this you are not satisfied I can't turn this into an argument but remember a way seemeth right unto a man the end thereof is destruction don't use predestination as an excuse not to receive salvation

God has not and does not need to condemn anybody specially, the whole of creation stands condemned on account of our own sin. God decides to mercifully save a remnant, purely out of his own choice. He doesn't owe anybody anything, salvation is a free gift and he gives to whom he will:

Has the potter no right over the clay, to make out of the same lump one vessel for honorable use and another for dishonorable use? Rom 9.21
So too at the present time there is a remnant, chosen by grace. Rom 11.5
For he says to Moses, “I will have mercy on whom I have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion.” So then it depends not on human will or exertion, but on God, who has mercy. For the Scripture says to Pharaoh, “For this very purpose I have raised you up, that I might show my power in you, and that my name might be proclaimed in all the earth.” So then he has mercy on whomever he wills, and he hardens whomever he wills.ROM 9.15 to 18

God will save the world by electing and saving a remnant, like he did with Noah's ark.
You have not probably thought deeply about this, man cannot choose God without the help of God, man also cannot resist the will of God... Who hath resisted his will ...ROM 9. So god has given the faith to accept him to the elect as a gift...eph 2. Again, all that the father hath given to me shall come to me.. John.
Of course whoever believes shall be saved but who will believe if God does not make them believe? Faith is a gift, only those given can exercise it,
My dear read Romans 9 especially from vs 19 , you will see that God is sovereign in this matter .

Are you joking

Titus 2:11-14 New International Version (NIV)
For the grace of God has appeared that offers salvation to all people. salvation is by grace not by predestination because if it were by predestination then there would be no death and that would make God a liar because of john3:16-18

God is no respecter of persons so you can't say he chooses to save one person over the other for in the sight of God we are all equal

other verses to put this shameful and false doctrine to rest are

1 Timothy 4:10For therefore we both labour and suffer reproach, because we trust in the living God, who is the Saviour of all men, specially of those that believe.
all that believe in Christ are saved by christ

Ephesians 2:8 New International Version (NIV)
For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God—

1 Corinthians 15:10 King James Version (KJV)
But by the grace of God I am what I am: and his grace which was bestowed upon me was not in vain; but I laboured more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me.

so please do not let anyone deceive u or let this false doctrine stop you from receiving salvation just believe that Christ is able to save you afterall he is omnipotent and cannot be limited he said my grace is sufficient for you and lastly on this matter ask God to help find a true Bible believing Church Because false prophet are already everywhere deceiving people

Paul said Romans 6:1-2 King James Version (KJV)
What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?
God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?

Accept God now into your life and you will experience the power of salvation just like Paul did.

maybe you need to read the scripture again for proper understanding and get your scriptures right I think where you wanted to quote is 1cor9:17
King James Bible
"For if I do this thing willingly, I have a reward: but if against my will, a dispensation of the gospel is committed unto me".

New International Version
"If I preach voluntarily, I have a reward; if not voluntarily, I am simply discharging the trust committed to me".

You quoted this verse out of context Paul was saying there is reward in preaching the Gospel when you do it voluntarily and that if he didn't preach the Gospel then woe unto him cos then he would have no reward but all in all he is saying as an apostle he is saddled with the responsibility of preaching teaching and living off the Gospel (verse 14. "Even so hath the Lord ordained that they which preach the gospel should live of the gospel." ) but if he does it voluntarily then their is a reward but if he doesn't there is danger (Ezekiel 3:18) King James Bible
When I say unto the wicked, Thou shalt surely die; and thou givest him not warning, nor speakest to warn the wicked from his wicked way, to save his life; the same wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thine hand.

With this I hope the holy spirit gives you conviction. God bless.

I really don't know where to start with you, but frankly you haven't made any point. None of the scriptures you quoted disproves predestination...
Firstly you are correct I missed the 1 core 9.16 Scripture.
That said ,you appear to have a fight with God not me. Listen if you can be humble enough:

Jacob I have loved and Esau I hated...
No man can come to me except the father draw him...
Those the father hath given me no man can take from my hands...
Those he foreknew them he predestined to be conformed to the image of his son...
I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy...
He sheweth mercy to whom he will and whom he will he hardeneth

So...no I am not joking. Only the predestined can be saved.

@Newbornmacho
Thanks for the understanding. You seem to grasp the basics. However one needs more information on Islamic history and politics to fully understand how a Muslim is supposed to live in 21st century. The key is seeking knowledge.
The call for arms in Islam can be divided into two in Islam.
1. Self Defense against any threat. This is a situation where as an individual, a family, a group or a community Allah has given Muslims the absolute right to protect themselves, their families and properties against armed robbers, assassins, or any form of threat. I believe even in this 21st century self defense is allowed. If one was to lose his life defending his life, his family or property, the prophet said such person has died MATYR!
2. Military Campaign Jihad. This involves arming a troop and attempting to conquer a non-Muslims territory. It has its laid down rules and regulations. For example, the non-muslims are introduced to Islam and asked to convert, if they refuse then they are asked to allow the Muslims to preach to others beyond their dwelling and guarantee they wouldn't attack the Muslims while they are at it. If they refuse This as well then they'd be attacked. This is how Islam spread to over 90% of where it ever reach today. Still during the attack no Muslim is allowed to kill women, children or the elderly, nor cut down trees nor destroy wells nor burn down houses and so on. Any "Jihad" that does not observe these regulations is not a true Islamic Jihad.
Most importantly this Jihad can only be sanctioned by an AMIRUL MU'UMINEEN (the leader of Muslim faithfuls) recognized and obeyed by the majority of Muslims in the world. The amir with a stable caliphate where Sharia is established and observed to the fullest is the only Islamic figure who can then order a conquest of another land occupied by non-Muslims.
So in this 21st century a Muslims concern should be how to observe his religious duties primarily in the form form of five pillars of Islam (declaration of believe, Prayer, Fasting, Charity and Pilgrimage) .
So anybody (lone Jihad) or group of Jihadists who claim to be carrying out Jihad without following the rules is definitely on his own!
Islam has witnessed this form of extremism almost immediately after the death of the prophet, and he has told us that these people are not true Muslims.
Thank you.

Nice. So you concede then that some koranic injunctions have no place in the 21st century? Especially jihad related verses.now that's the only logical explanation. Would you gladly preach to other Muslims that the jihad is not applicable in our day? If one koranic injunction is found to be null and void , could there be others? In short could the Koran be in need of being set aside as irrelevant for today?
