I don't care. All I know is "Boko Haramites are not muslims".

I am a proud muslim and not a terrorist. Every good muslim should know the teachings of islam. Terrorism is above all murder. Murder is strictly forbidden in the Qur’an. Qur’an 6:151 says, “and do not kill a soul that God has made sacrosanct, save lawfully.” (i.e. murder is forbidden but the death penalty imposed by the state for a crime is permitted)

Quran 5:53 again says, “whoso kills a soul, unless it be for murder or for wreaking corruption in the land, it shall be as if he had killed all mankind; and he who saves a life, it shall be as if he had given life to all mankind.”

Every true muslim should know this. And to those who have chosen to believe all muslims are terrorists, you should know better. If killing of innocent souls was in the teachings of islam, every muslim would go out there to kill without the fear of being caught.


And whoever has a hand in these attacks that have claimed the life of many will soon be exposed and will know no peace.

Why not tell Bokos they are not Muslims rather than quote abrogated verses of your Koran here.

You Muslims condemned 9 of your fellow Muslims to death for blasphemy.

How come the utterances of your fellow Muslims warrant swift response and condemnation than the action of your ever growing violent brethren in Boko Haram?

Hmmmm i like your use of the word "racial"

Have you read of the crusades of the early missionaries? Read history books and you would get a stint of what i am talking about.

Do you know that In 1095, Pope Urban II made a speech to launch the blood-letting of The Crusades.

How about the capture of Jerusalem in 1099? the Christian army butchered almost every man, woman and little child in the city.


Do you also know of the second crusade and the famous speech of St. Bernard of Clairvaux. He said
when launching the Second Crusade: "The Christian glories in the death of a pagan, because thereby Christ himself is glorified."

Do you know of the genocide of the Cathars (1209–1229)? The Pope Innocent III called for a crusade to exterminate the Cathar people of France (the Albigensians) Men, women and children were also butchered.




DON'T GET ME WRONG. I DO NOT AND WILL NEVER SUPPORT KILLING OF INNOCENT SOULS.

My point is just as you have extremists in Islam, you have them in other places too. I WOULD NEVER because of these above people and many others who i did not mention call Christianity a violent religion so i don't expect a double standard when talking about Islam.

You Muslim sef.

What led to the crusades? Wasn't it marauding Arab Muslims waging a jihad on Europe where they succeeded in conquering Spain?

Do you know that all Arab countries where not Arab nor Muslim prior to advent of Islam which dislodged the indigenious Christian population?

Do you know that the Arab world is site to many ancient Christian sites?

Was Egypt Arab ?

I enjoy watching stupid people. How they frolick and rejoice in their bed of Ignorance. But right now, the view is getting rather too irritating....
People, You should understand that religion war is as old as man and most of you only have half-knowledge of it all and as half knowledge is much more dangerous than total ignorance, reasons for the heightened entropy evident from varied blind outbursts on here
The black man as soon as he bought the white man's religion as garment had little knowledge he bought his doom with it....
Religion in it's pure, uninfiltrated, undiluted form is true and essential I agree, for the realization of the basic human purpose; unity, faith and love. This purpose was however thrown out through the window and in its place, the direct opposite; discord, greed and hate were implanted by crazy power drunk and self centered supremacists who wanted the world under their feet and were hell bent to use whatever; Religion and political arrows most of the time against rivals. The consequences of this greedy acts continued from here to what we have today....
Fast-forward to the situation on ground now..... To solve our numerous issues, we just got accept the fact that we will always be different people with different believes. We should relieve ourselves of our egos and let go, we need to hasten our recuperation and heal our wounds which we'd inflicted on ourselves. We just got to let our being humans come first before any other believe that divides us..... Lol, am day dreaming cos these are just easy to say but hard to live.
The only solution is to cure ourselves of present issues ; this boko malady , the uprising kanu( biafra), the ever dwindling Nigerian economy. We just need to resuscitate ourselves by ourselves and inject ourselves with lucozade boost lol, cos we need so much energy to bring to life our better life dream working as a team. It is hard, I mean very hard bearing mind how diverse a people we are , but its not impossible.

My oh my! People have been mis informed into thinking Islam was propagated by war. Do you know why Islam was able to spread so quickly among the places like Spain and others?

Ok let me start with the words of Prof Hodgson.

Professor Hodgson of the University of Chicago explained the reasons for the popularity of Islam as follows:

"Muslims made a personal appeal to people's religious consciousness. On the level of straight argument, they often put forward the populistic intelligibility of Islam. Muslims commonly ridiculed, in the name of intellectual good sense, the more mythically convoluted teachings of older traditions. This could seem attractively straightforward to people dissatisfied with taking things on faith from a learned priest whose
mysteries they could not comprehend. A single Creator, to be worshipped by each person for himself, on the basis of revelation that had been given to a famous prophet whom millions already acknolwedged. This was at once intelligible and plausible."

The Islamic world then also dominated in people of the areas of science. mathematics, agriculture, astronomy, commerce and philosophy. As at that time everybody wanted to learn from the Arabs and Muslims (Just like it is with US and China today). Even Scientists like Newton, Fibonacci, Descartes and many others developed their works from earlier Islamic works.

Medical sciences were also highly developed in Islam as
testified by even the Crusaders themselves, who relied on Arab doctors
on numerous occasions. Even Joinville ( Jean de Joinville was one of the great chroniclers of medieval
France) reports he was saved in 1250 by a “Saracen” (muslim) doctor.

"Intellectualism"(Dunno if d word exists. LOL), simplicity, rationalism were among the reasons Islam was able to spread so fast. Islam was NOT spread by war as it is widely acclaimed.

Even people of our time attest to it.
Ambassador Herman Ellis, in a testimony in front of the committee on Foreign Affirs of the House of Represntatives of the United States Congress on June 24th, 1985, said, "The Muslim community of the globe today is in the neighbourhood of one billion. That is an
impressive figure. But what to me is equally impressive is that Islam today is the fastest growing monotheistic religion. This is something we have to take into account. Something is right about Islam. It is attracting a good many people."


The Quran itself says is it chapter 2 verse 256

"There shall be no compulsion in [acceptance
of] the religion........"



As to why the Arab world is site to many christian sites? Good question. That is the more reason why you agree with me that there has to be a link between all of them and what they preached. Moses, Abraham, Jesus and Muhammad. They all believed in One God, upholding truth and abolishing falsehood.

You did not state what led to the crusades and neither did you refute what I stated about Muslim aggression leading to a military expedition sanctioned by authority of Rome.

Let me educate you here:

The reason and cause of the crusades was a war between Christians and Moslems which centered around the city of Jerusalem and the Holy places of Palestine.

The City of Jerusalem held a Holy significance to the Christian religion. The Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem commemorated the hill of crucifixion and the tomb of Christ's burial. Pilgrims throughout the Middle Ages made sacred pilgrimages to the Holy city of Jerusalem and the church.

Although the city of Jerusalem was held by the Saracens the Christian pilgrims had been granted safe passage to visit the Holy city.

In 1065 Jerusalem was taken by the Turks, who came from the kingdom of ancient Persia. 3000 Christians were massacred and the remaining Christians were treated so badly that throughout Christendom people were stirred to fight in crusades.

These actions aroused a storm of indignation throughout Europe and awakened the desire to rescue the Holy Land from the grasp of the "infidel."

Yes, we Christians considered you Muslims infidels first.
