Hypocrite. Like you ain't the one going on christian threads spilling thrash. You and your ilk deserve all the insults you've received for all the Christians your blood sucking demon brothers have killed in the north.

It is common knowledge not take the word of an Arab man at face value, allowances must be made for how they tend to exaggerate everything.

The bolded is perfectly true. I'm even surprised you know this.

God is love...No sin is too big for God to forgive.

Since He has been killed for ur sins, it means all the sins u have committed and the ones u will commit ahead are forgiven huh? What a logic? I wonder what humans take God for.

It's like the era of boasting oil wealth is gone forever for good. The time has come to concentrate efforts on something else and face the reality.

i think its time moderators started banning people for making ethnically inciting comments. One Nigeria yall.

That gives you an insight into the depth of hatred they Harbour for people that have not utter even a single word in respect of the matter. And mind you Saudi Arabia only adopted this in terms of payment of salaries and ofcourse other business related matters not as most people think. For some Christians to be hailing gregorian calender whose origin is pagan shows how myopic their thinking is

and there you see one mr femi who goes by the pseudonym fm4real2k6 asking me if I'm a northern morron because i suggested the banning of comments that inspire hate and inter-ethnic strife and disorders. He thinks the Internet and nairaland is such a solid wall that he can shelter behind when it starts. Warefare is no child's play. Only the very fooolish and very naive people think it is.

Oh! Ooh! Does that mean this recession affects Saudi too?
Well if the wicked recession affects Saudi, do the have any similitude of "GEJ" to blame?

Down here, we have convininiently and consistently landed our recession blame on a "GEJ".
There for if countries with oil money who enjoyed the surplus sales from oil over the years at not immuned to the current recession, then I will call on Nigerians to be fair to GEJ and apologise to him.

It seems fair also to note that no matter the amount made during the period of surplus, that could not have waved away recession.

NOTE TO ALL NAIRA LANDERS: Do not bash me, I am still entitled to my opinion!

Vintage them. They will provoke Muslims. Muslim will respond. And they will start crying, Muslims are aggressive, are this, are that. Cry babies.

And what evidence do you have to say that person you quoted is actually a christian. You guys (muslims and christians alike) keep falling for this trick over and over again, do you know why? It is simply because your mind as already been set to a you against me mode. There are people out there that will continue to take advantage of people like you because of that set mode. They have you under their finger tip, they know when to push that button and they know exactly how you will react. Free your mind and you will free yourself from their wiles, then and only then will you find true peace with yourself and with all men.

Saudi think she can succeed changing the Year of the Lord which is globally represented by BBC and AD. The country's authority can only try it but God's purpose and plan can't be changed.

If I show you, you go understand am? Lol.

Rili, do not make excuses for them, keep your mind free and objective. Saudi is the top Islamic nation on earth, the country that is the top voice in Islam has adopted a wholly 'christian' calender due to 'economic austerity'.

Who is in charge of all the wealth in the world, is it not Almighty Allah? Rili, Almighty Allah owns all the wealth, He gives the earth and all its riches to whoever He pleases. If Almighty Allah caused the austerity, is the right thing to do, not to beg him for mercy by doing good deeds and drawing nearer to Him? But no, instead of that, we adopt an 'ungodly' and 'worldly' calender which in itself is more sin in the Eyes of Almighty Allah, and which will cause more punishment.

There is more than meet the eye in this, it only takes objectivity to see it

43 And whereas thou sawest iron mixed with miry clay, they shall mingle themselves with the seed of men: but they shall not cleave one to another, even as iron is not mixed with clay.

Illiteracy is indeed a disease! FYI, when the Gregorian calender was initiated by the Roman Catholic Pope, the Protestants and Eastern Orthodox countries still used the Julian calender and only adopted the former for ease of business transactions. All are Christians(correct me if I am wrong). Fast forward to 2016, the adoption of the Gregorian calender is purely for economic purposes and doesnt change anyhing in the faith and beliefs of Muslims. Reminder for those making noise: both Christianity and Islam are received religions. If you have a problem with Islam, drop your received Christianity and go back to your ancestors' religions.
Mr literary they accepted for ease of business transaction, that's what u read or u just decided to relate it with Saudi accepting it for business transaction. Tell me something else

Bigot, who told you that the Gregorian calendar is for the Christians?
sycophant, the reason the Saudis or Muslims started their own calendar was not to have anything to do with Christianity or a show of not depending on dates accepted by so called "infidels". So what has happened the infidels have cornered them to accept the Gregorian calendar. For ur information, the calendar in majorly used by Christians. Islam has theirs, until now and also China has theirs.
Maybe the Chinese would have to change their too for economic reasons.

I just have to correct your ignorance about something, Saudi Arabia is the home place of Sunni Muslims and it is the number one enemy of Shia Muslims. I don't understand why you people either ignorantly or intentionally accuse Shia if anything bad haopens. i am not a Muslim but if i were to choose between the two, i definitely wouldn't choose a side that gave birth to boko, Isis, and all known terrorist (Sunni).
was a mistake, Sunni not shia. I support shia though. They are more tolerant

only a very few understand Daniel's description of established world systems including those that have fallen starting from the day of Babylon. A glorious kingdom will surely take over no matter the attempts to blind people's eyes from watching to see it happen.

you keep evading the request.
may I task you to a challenge? if you can't get a physical copy of the Qur'an, you should be able to download one.
PLEASE study it for just 7 days, its quite revealing.
* you will find out that its not as "bad" as you were told.
* you will find out that there are numerous peaceful verses.
*then, you will ask yourself how come non-muslims are doing everything to misinform people about it.
you don't have to convert, just get additional knowledge.
I welcome any challenge from you.
