Muslims /Islam is the problem of this country

Farmerforlife:


Go back and read my comment. I never said people hate Islam. I said they hate Muslims, and apparently, it is only because they are Muslims. Well, I am a Muslim, I have found out that if my rights are taken away from me, Christians will applaud the decision, and not help me. Should I love and continue to be good to such people? I don't think so.
This lady is not a radical, she is not bombing anyone, and it is not realistic that some professions be restricted to certain people because of their religious prersuasion, so 'finding out the rules before applying for law' does not wash.

I am not disputing the rules of the law school or interested in that, that is a job for the Muslim rights lawyers who want to do the right thing for their sister. I am only reacting to the comments on NL, by those hateful individuals professing to be Christians. If this is what Christianity is about, then it is Satanic. I wonder if this is what the Jesus in their bible would have commented in this situation.

Thank you for your time, but actions always speak louder than words.

So people that love their traditions like Yourbas love buba and gele can stand firm on their tradition by insisting to tie gele on their head before wearing the wig for their call to bar ceremony abi. Bloody idiots called Muslim. I like how they are being cleansed I'm rohingya. They want every country's law to adopt their religious stance. Law is an institution. They have strict laws to follow. If you know your religious laws and theirs are not in tandem, then don't get involved!

Farmerforlife:


I hear you. I have already understood how Christians think about Muslims in their hearts. Thank you for the additional assertion. I will adjust my relationship with Christians henceforth.

TheAdvocate:
A few days or so ago a young lady presented herself for call to bar and rather than simply wear the regulation dress decided to come in the regulation dress with a hijab as an accessory.

Now, I notice that very few lawyers have said anything about this matter on the social media and I was tempted not to say anything too until I read somewhere that the young lady and a few persons are suggesting that she was denied her right to be called to the bar because she was a Muslim.

Really?

Haba jamaa.

This is how religious tension is created in Nigeria for no reason.

And making this issue a religious one?

Haba!

Haba jamaa.

When I read the report suggesting that the young lady suggests that she was denied her right to be called to the bar because she is Muslim I could not help but weep for Nigeria.

Why will this matter all of a sudden revolve around religion?

Is it truly a religious issue?

I am more troubled by this event and the suggestion that has followed it because I know of hundreds of lawyers who are Muslim but were called to the bar notwithstanding their religious beliefs.

Why is this case different?

Simple answer: she decided to break a code of dressing acceptable for the call to bar event.

That was the only reason why she was not called to the bar.

It has nothing to do with religion at all.

This is how seeds of discord are sown by some persons who weep us religious sentiments and get some over zealous persons to come out chanting war songs in respect of matters that truly have no connection at all to religion.

The question that needs be asked and answered is this, suppose she had decided to dress as a nun because she is a reverend sister as well as a candidate for call to the Nigerian bar, would she have been called to the bar?

The answer of cause is NO.

And the reason is simple, she would be falling foul of the dress code for her call to bar. That would be the reason for not calling her and not that the Body of Benchers don’t like nuns.

Pushing the argument even further, suppose this same Lady was a Christian or a Sango worshiper and yet wore the same hijab for her call, would she be called to the bar?

The answer would still be an emphatic NO.

This is because it would not be a question of what religious faith she professes but how she chose to dress to attend a regulated event.

I have a lot of Muslim lawyer friends and interestingly enough all the lawyers I employ in my office presently are Muslims.

Would it be ok for one of them to dress in a hijab and appear in court while seeking to represent a client?

NO.

Would any such lawyer be said to have been denied the right to appear and represent her client simply because she is a Muslim?

NO.

The reason such a lawyer would not be allowed to appear in court and argue a cause on a clients behalf is simple, she is not dressed in the regulation dress.

I attended an event organized by the NBA Zaria Branch a few weeks ago.

The Chief Judge of Abuja was in attendance.

When he came in he noticed that several of the magistrates in attendance were dressed in the northern style flowing gowns and babanriga which is commonly worn by Muslim northerners.

His lordship who is a Muslim himself from Zaria directed all of them to go back and change into black suits and ties. All of them were Hausa Muslims.

Was his lordship discriminating against his Muslim brothers or punishing them for being Muslims or northerners?

NO.

His lordship eventually said that he insisted they go and change because they were not dressed properly in view of the fact that it was a gathering of lawyers in respect of a Law Week Event.

If you decide to be a lawyer you should make up your mind from day one that you have agreed to abide by the codes that other lawyers abide by.

Please let’s stop using religion to whip up sentiments and get ourselves support for doing the wrong thing.

Did you know that it's mandated for Christian women to cover their hair? It's very compulsory and it's in the Bible

1 Corinthians 11:6

For if a woman does not cover her head, she might as well have her hair cut off; but if it is a disgrace for a woman to have her hair cut off or her head shaved, then she should cover her head.


You criticise and attack Muslim women for covering their hair according to what their faith mandated for them but ignore it despite been written boldly in your own book

Isn't that hypocrisy and bigotry at it's peak??

Ah no o.Isis came as a result of the arab spring and the bad leadership of Bashir al assad.Whether or not isis or al qaeda and the rest are being sponsored by the powers that be is none of my concern but what i know is that groups like hezbollah,al nusra front even hamas are radicals and they (hezbollah )are fighting their government.I don't know who is sponsoring who but these people claim to be Muslims the world calls them radical Muslims. And yes Islam is a religion of peace.

Bros why did u skip verse 5

But every woman who prays or prophesies with her head uncovered dishonors her head—it is the same as having her head shaved. 6 For if a woman does not cover her head, she might as well have her hair cut off; but if it is a disgrace for a woman to have her hair cut off or her head shaved, then she should cover her head.

Many Christians have different definitions on this passage, but none says u must have ur head covered.. The arguments are
* should a woman's head be covered in church or not.. .. Simple..

Face ur religion bruv

What that lady is asking for is special treatment. Not religious freedom.

If she is granted that, then reverend sister should be allowed to come on their full regalia, also ifa prist should also be allowed to come with a bloody chicken around his neck.... That's what she's asking for

Seriously, it will be quite bad if the rules were changed for the sake of an idiot who has no respect for rules that have been made before her father was born

Even judges in Sharia courts don't wear ijab. Is she holier than them?


Guess I can also go in my Sango attire nigbana since I have right to religion

People just like playing the discrimination card whenever they couldn't we their way with something

eyinjuege:


Are you serious about the wig and weaveon? Biko where are the female lawyers? A lot of them wear weave on for their ceremony. I understand the wig as it may fall off.

The same bad leadership that the media and West told you about Gaddafi until his demise which returned Libya to the 10th century.
If the image was from the desk of a Muslim in a Muslim country, you wouldn't have said it's not your concern but rather call them names.

Ladyhippolyta88:
Go to wikepedia and browse about Gaddafi and do not forget what led to the uprising and the Arab spring.Human trafficking had always been on even before Gaddafi's demise.He only censored the media.The Arab spring which also affected Libya was Gaddafi's dictatorial tendencies and the atrocities under him.I watch international news and i am sure aljazeera belongs to the west or is it not owned by Qatar?because aljazeera followed the Arab spring and news about Gaddafi.

ollah1:



Lol. You can never balance news when you listen to it that way. Never! You have to watch the western news and the anit western news.
