Christianity EtcRe: Burning Shrines, Eating Bibles, Killing Christians And Other Issues - Opinion by oddessey007(m): 10:32pm On Jan 31, 2017
oglalasioux:
Anything religion, be it modern or ancient, is counter productive.

The so called African traditional religion is a joke on itself. Shrines that didn't give us any clue about malaria until the coming of the white man.
The so called shrine was the man thing before the advent of foreign religion yet people lived happily then. Religion don't cure malaria, I think if it does, government needs to build more churches and mosques instead of Hospitals.

I have come to realise that many a person who religion have eaten deep to their sense of reasoning are hypocritical in nature. Most don't practice what dey preach.

The problem is every religion portray their religion as d religion of light and others aside theirs do not possess any light

u can't do dat with gods of iron (ogun) or gods of thunder (amadioha or Sango)it is instant judgement but our Almighty is a GOD of patience, that's why we Yoruba call him; Adake d'ajo (that is, The God that delivers judgement without verbal or audible utterances)


Hmmmm, but if it is Quran, u know the the answer now, why u dhey ask?
Kindly tell us what will happen when if its the Quran. Average reasoning of a typical Nigerian, the thread is all about religious tolerance and the op took his time to encourage the need for tolerance regardless of our religious affiliations. If you can't add meaningful thought don't add fuel to the fire. Omoluabi I remain....... Peace.

Christianity EtcRe: Stop Using Mosques To Preach Hate - Sanusi by oddessey007(m): 7:37am On Jan 29, 2017
alBHAGDADI:
It's either Sanusi is using the Islamic deceit aka Al taquiya or he simply hasn't read the Quran. Those clerics can never stop preaching HATE in their mosques and madrasah cos it will mean that they will stop following what the Quran orders them to do. See below...


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 (4:76) - "Those who believe fight in the cause of Allah…"

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

Surah 48:29
Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah and those with him are HARSH against the unbelievers, MERCIFUL among themselves.


Quran (5:51) - "O you who believe! do not take the Jews and the CHRISTIANS for friends; they are friends of each other; and whoever amongst you takes them for a friend, then surely he is one of them; surely Allah does not guide the unjust people."

Sahih Muslim (2167) - "Allah's Messenger said: Do not greet the Jews and the CHRISTIANS before they greet you and when you meet any one of them on the roads FORCE him to go to the narrowest part of it."

Quran (3:151) - "Soon shall We cast terror into the hearts of the Unbelievers, for that they joined companions with Allah, for which He had sent no authority".

Quran (8:65) - "O Prophet, exhort the believers to fight..."

Quran (9:29) - "Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, nor hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger, nor acknowledge the religion of Truth, (even if they are) of the People of the Book (CHRISTIANS), until they pay the Jizya with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued."
I'm not joining issues with you but I'm opined to ask what you gain from these quotes. Someone is preaching peace but you're doing otherwise. Are you a boko harram member or apologist?
Christianity EtcRe: Those Attacking Me Now Kept Quiet When El-rufai Tweeted Hate Speech - Suleiman by oddessey007(m): 6:51pm On Jan 26, 2017
realone2012:
You people should go on, and turn this to a religion war!
Una eyes go clear..

I have some questions to ask;
Are all Fulanis Muslim?
Because you people are making it seem as if its one religion against the other.
Is the population of Southern Kaduna 100% Christian?
Because SD is a predominant Christian area doesn't mean there are no Muslims and people from other religion being affected by this senseless attacks. Or do they ask them if they are Christian before attacking them?
No matter what, violence should be condemned!
I'm surprised people are trying to turn it to a Religion thingy!! War doesn't determine who is right, it determines who is left.
Religion leaders should know better!

But Buhari and El-Rufai no try at all. Their nonchalant attitude and in-sensitiveness to this matter is the reason why it's escalating like this. Haba! They really are disappointing people who believe in them!

Well, what do I know?
As much as I respect your opinion and believe me I do, Souther Kaduna issue has been a perennial issue. This issue is recurrent as far back as 1980, those who witness the imbroglio are not the ones ranting on social media. We want peace in the country regardless of our religious and political affiliations, also religious leaders need to be mindful of what they preach. This hate speech will lead to destruction hence, it will consume us all. Let us embrace PEACE for the sake of GOD and pray GOD help restore this nation to enviable height.

Christianity EtcRe: MURIC Orders The Arrest Of Apostle Suleman by oddessey007(m): 6:37am On Jan 26, 2017
cj4blues:
Muslim is a devilish religion. I wish God has d heart of men but I can't challenge his decision.d best thing is to divide this country, christian on their own and Muslim on their own
shocked

Try to reason well, it could help you. Nigeria will not divide on religious lines because the country was not built on it. Your assertions is worrisome to Nigeria's entity.
Christianity EtcRe: MURIC Orders The Arrest Of Apostle Suleman by oddessey007(m): 12:33am On Jan 26, 2017
We all need peace irrespective of our religious, political affiliations and ethnicity. Nigeria as a nation will get out of hand if religious leaders voice out decisive statement. Either Christian, Muslim or other religion you belong, the most important thing we all need is peace. Before we pass judgement on any issue in my own rational thinking, the genesis of this problem need to be understood so as to find lasting solution to the problem. I'm hoping these extracts will sooth some minds about the whole imbroglio.......

By the time you are reading this piece, three local governments in southern Kaduna are being placed under curfew. The curfew became necessary due to heighten tension and to avert loss of lives and properties as stated by the executive governor of the state, Malam Nasiru El-Rufa’i. The southern Kaduna communities have been experiencing incessant and violent attacks by the suspected Fulani herdsmen. Although the rampant attacks could be described as a reprisal by the Fulani nomads who suffered heavy losses during the post-election violence in 2011, the area has had history of unrest ranging from communal, ethnic and religion. Notably among them are: Kasuwan Magani in the then Kachia local government in 1981, Kafanchan in 1987, 1996 and 1999, Zangon Kataf 1992, post-election violence 2011 to mention but a few. These series of upheavals have led to the death of many innocent lives while properties worth billions of naira destroyed.

The nagging question begging for answers are: why all these crises? What are the motives of these evils darkness? To understand the recurring crises that defied any lasting solution in the zone for the past four decades, one needs to understand the complexities of the area, in terms of religion and ethnicity.

Southern Kaduna is a predominantly Christian area with a sizeable Muslim minority including various ethnic groups with diverse cultural and historical background.

Alongside these peculiarities, the area has continued to experience incessant crises. It was believed to have been fueled by bigotry, religious intolerance and deep-seated historical animosity festered by current herdsmen/farmers clashes and indigene versus settlers eccentricities. These issues have been squarely addressed in chapter 4 of the 1999 constitution which guarantees freedom of worship and movement. On the indigene versus settler’s issue, we are all living in denial because every Nigerian is a settler. People who still harbour this parochial and narrow minded thinking should go back to history.

The crisis would have taken a dangerous dimension had government not hurriedly intervened. Though the Fulani herdsmen have been identified as the aggressors in this latest episode, the southern Kaduna communities were also guilty of revenge killings against innocent Hausa or Muslim travellers who are plying the region’s highways. While some elites in the state are not helping matters through their unguarded utterances, the government should explore any method possible to ensure the return of peace and harmony in the area.
