Could you provide the verses of the Quran that supports unjustly killing a bit?

folafola: Islam really mean submission and sallam means peace
to me quoran is not clear on killing for god it has some part supporting it and other few verses dissagreeing on this.
it is the duty of the so call iam and scholars to draw the line and stop putting wool across the face of the ignorant

Your claim that muslims don't strongly condemn terrorism is false. Every muslim that knows what his/her religion entails strongly condemns the act of terrorism. The Quran said that "anybody that kills one single person, (except that the person killed or is spreading corruption in the land) it is as if he has killed the whole of humanity. And anybody who saves the life of one single person it is as if he has saved the whole of humanity". No scripture ever state the above statement. And in addition to the above, what people have been commenting here about terrorism is condemning enough.
Salam alaikum.

talk4free: Sorry my brother...As much as i have muslim friends and neighbours, i DO NOT believe muslims don;t have anything to do with terrorism. MOST terrorists all over the world carry out their acts in the name of Allah, and yet there has never been a STRONG condemnation anywhere in the world. All we hear are just feeble lines of Islam is a religion of peace. I feel theres more to this than you guys are saying. I'm not saying all other religions are perfect, but this is a worldwide problem involving just the one same religion. I beg to say i expect more from the TRUE muslims.

Egyptian military vehicles fired live rounds at supporters of ousted Egyptian President Mohammed Morsi near Cairo’s Tahrir Square Friday, as hundreds of angry protestors marched in cities across the country.

Reuters is reporting that at least one Muslim Brotherhood supporter was shot dead in the clashes between government forces and pro-Morsi demonstrators. Police and military authorities fired tear gas and blocked off entrances to Tahrir Square and other main streets with tanks and barbed wire, diverting traffic from the central plaza.

Bystanders threw rocks at the protesters, and many demonstrators hurled them back as tempers flared in the streets.

Islamist supporters planned the march, in defiance of a security crackdown on demonstrations. Egyptian authorities warned the Brotherhood that new demonstration camps would not be tolerated.

Clashes have broken out in several other Egyptian cities in addition to Cairo, according to Reuters, citing security and state media sources. More fighting occurred on a road leading to the pyramids in the suburb of Giza and in Alexandria and two cities in the Nile Delta.

Since the July 3 ouster of the Islamic president, the country's military-backed government has moved against the Brotherhood, banning the group, seizing its assets and arresting hundreds of its supporters.

Reuters and the Associated Press contributed to this report.

Arsene Wenger: "If you're not excited about watching Özil, you don't love football." :-)

The problem in Arsenal was the selling of their best players. Now that they have stopped that I have no doubt we are going to be the best team in the world. Carry on Gunners.

As it was promised and boiling up in the news since last few days about Arsenal monitoring a few free agents the news have finally come true with Arsenal snapping up their 4th signing of the summer in Semi Ajayi who is a young defender. After a successful trial period Arsenal have gathered his resources once he was released by Charlton.
The 19-year-old, who was available on a free transfer after leaving Charlton Athletic in the summer, has penned a two-year contract with the Gunners. Nigeria Under-21 international Ajayi, who turned down the offer of a six-month deal at Norwich following a trial at Carrow Road, announced his move on Twitter.
With Arsenal needing backup for their vulnerable and subject to injury defense, Ajayi will certainly have some contribution to make after his development. There is no doubt that the boy has potential as he cleared the trial periods and we all know how good an eye the Frenchman has for talent.
He wrote on his Twitter bio before the move: “Delighted to announce that I have officially signed for Arsenal FC. Can’t wait to see what the next two seasons here have in store for me.”

Asalam alaikum, My name is Ridwan. I am a student. Happy to be part of this tread.

dheaven: Money rules the world.

you are right man, that's for certain.

Secret_Dreams: I love pounded yam

shey na that one dem dey ask from you?

I have been thinking of three things that I think is the most discussed issue or topic in the world which is 1. Nigeria economy 2. Security 3. Religion.
My people make una add una own and probably give solution or alternative to the ones that are issues.

Interesting

And some of the men that are ready for marriage have chose not to get married to women but love to be GAY. Am sure the unmarried women will be very furious at gays.

gondon: The factor or contributing factor to d issue of lack of real nor marriageable men is d Nigerian economy. Gone r those days wen men will b idle.
Guys r up and doing, n d wrong nor play boys r on rampage..... Ladies should learn to accommodate responsible guys ohh, and learn to assist situations coz u can never tell wat d guy has in mind...
Also dey should try to differentiate d Sharp guys from d real guys and for dem to b more prayerful.......
Feel free to ring me for hints; if u care.((07030257586)))

scarcity of men is a global issue and not mainly the economy situation.

Extom: Where are my "END TIME THINGS" peeps?

i can categorically tell you that they are on their way.

A teenager has given birth to triplets in Bungoma County, every day territory has described. Fourteen-year-old Mwanaharabu Wamukoya of Harambee village in Kakamega shire, Kenya was admitted to Bungoma District Hospital on Saturday night and had a Caesarean part on Sunday to deliver the three baby young men. Two of the new-borns weighed 1.5 kilogrammes while the third one weighed 1.3 kilogrammes.
Nursing officer-in-charge Mary Marumbu said the offspring andtheir mother were in steady status and ready to be released.
The father of the offspring, a 16-year-old boy, is said to have taken off on discovering that the girl had granted birth to triplets. The teen is furthermore a school dropout and does menial jobs. The appearance of the triplets is said to have caused anguish him.
“He has no ability to take care ofthe babies even if he was here. We are grateful to the government for cancelling off maternity fees because I will be free to proceed dwelling one time discharged. I would have been detained here if I had beeninquired to pay,” the teenage mother said.
wellbeing practitioners in the homeland have expressed anxiety over the expanding rates of teenage pregnancies.

Glass Mask is another movie that's full of suspense... you cannot afford not to watch it till the end once you've started.

We call it Ofio in yoruba land...

toba: The quran recognizes Jesus as the Messiah and by meaning, messiah is a saviour. Jesus according to deductive reasoning is more than a prophet, but trust Muslims, they will never accept that

And by the same deductive reasoning, every prophet is a Messiah because God raised them to show their people the way to Him, thereby saving the people from the wrath of God. They all preached the oneness of God, not 1 in 3 or 3 in 1. And none is worthy of worship and praise except God. God has no son nor mother nor father nor relatives and every other associates whatsoever. Besides, Jesus never said in the Bible that "Worship me, I am God".

LEXYCOM: My father and my God, pls let arsenal loss this match woefully....amen

3-0

oya Arsene Wenger, carry cheque book and let's go to market for players

Nawa o

rafhell: arab muslims are too barbaric.
i pray nigeria muslim will deviate from them

Jumping at conclusion without considering the causes.... Do you know what really led to this action by the protesters?

It's always profitable when you stand firm on the right path... Glory be to God.

I came across this on CNN and I feel like sharing with you guys ( In case anyone is fed up of this planet )...
(CNN) -- More than 100,000 people are eager to make themselves at home on another planet. They've applied for a one-way trip to Mars, hoping to be chosen to spend the rest of their lives on uncharted territory, according to an organization planning the manned missions.

The Mars One project wants to colonize the red planet, beginning in 2022. There are financial and practical questions about this venture that haven't been clarified. Will there be enough money? Will people really be able to survive on Mars? But these haven't stopped some 30,000 Americans from signing up.

You can see some of the candidates on the project's website, but they're not the only ones who have applied, said Bas Lansdorp, Mars One CEO and co-founder.

"There is also a very large number of people who are still working on their profile, so either they have decided not to pay the application fee, or they are still making their video or they're still filling out the questionnaire or their resume. So the people that you can see online are only the ones that have finished and who have set their profiles as public," Lansdorp said.

The entrepreneur did not specify how many have paid the fees, completed their profiles and configured them as private.

The application process

Anyone 18 or older may apply, but the fee depends on a user's nationality. For Americans, it's $38; if you're in Mexico, however, it's a mere $15.

The company said it sets the price based on the gross domestic product per capita of each nation. "We wanted it to be high enough for people to have to really think about it and low enough for anyone to be able to afford it," Lansdorp said.

For the first crew, the Mars One mission will cost $6 billion, Lansdorp said. The idea is for it to be funded by sponsors and media that will pay for broadcasting rights of shows and movies documenting everything from the astronauts' training on Earth to their deployment and colonization of Mars.

Out of the applicants, Mars One said it will select a multicontinental group of 40 astronauts this year. Four of them -- two men and two women -- are set to leave for Mars in September 2022, landing in April 2023.

Another multicontinental group of four will be deployed two years later, according to the Mars One plan. None of them will return to Earth.

The astronauts will undergo a required eight-year training in a secluded location. According to the project site, they will learn how to repair habitat structures, grow vegetables in confined spaces and address "both routine and serious medical issues such as dental upkeep, muscle tears and bone fractures."

"What we want to do is tell the story to the world," Lansdorp said, "when humans go to Mars, when they settle on Mars and build a new Earth, a new planet. This is one of the most exciting things that ever happened, and we want to share the story with the entire world."

How will Mars be colonized?

Each lander that Mars One sends will be able to carry about 5,511 pounds of "useful load" to Mars, he said. After eight missions, more than 44,000 pounds of supplies and people are expected to have arrived. The capsules themselves, whose weight is not included in that number, will become part of the habitat.

Food and solar panels will go in the capsules. Earth won't be sending much water or oxygen though -- those will be manufactured on Mars, Lansdorp said.

Astronauts will filter Martian water from the Martian soil. "We will evaporate it and condense it back into its liquid state," he said.

"From the water we can make hydrogen and oxygen, and we will use the oxygen for a breathing atmosphere inside the habitat. This will be prepared by the rovers autonomously before the humans arrive."

It sounds like terraforming, a process in which the conditions of a planet are modified to make it habitable, but Lansdorp said it isn't.

"We will create an atmosphere that looks like the atmosphere on Earth, so you could say that we are terraforming the habitat. But to terraform the entire planet, that's a project that will take hundreds and hundreds of years," he added.

A dangerous mission

In spite of the risks of space travel, the Mars One founder said he is convinced of the viability of the project. However, some space travel experts have said the risks are far too high to carry out these manned missions to Mars, a distance that humans have never traveled.

Radiation is a big concern. NASA does not allow their astronauts to expose themselves to radiation levels that could increase their risk of developing cancer by more than 3%.

To maintain the radiation exposure standards that NASA requires, the maximum time an astronaut can spend in space "is anywhere from about 300 days to about 360 days for the solar minimum activity. For solar maximum, in ranges anywhere from about 275 days to 500 days," said Eddie Semones, NASA spaceflight radiation officer.

A round-trip journey to Mars could expose astronauts to the maximum amount of radiation allowed in a career under current NASA standards, according to a recent study by scientists at the space agency. Mars One is planning a one-way journey, which doesn't negate the problem, and being on Mars could expose astronauts to even more radiation, depending on how long they stay and what the shielding conditions are like.

Radiation damages cells' DNA, which can lead to cell death or permanent changes that may result in cancer. However, "there's no convincing human evidence for excess abnormalities in offspring of radiation-exposed adults," Semones said.

While orbiting the Earth, astronauts get exposed to greater concentrations of cosmic background radiation than here on Earth in addition to charged particles trapped in the upper atmosphere and from the sun, said Robert J. Reynolds, epidemiologist at the University of Texas Health Science Center.

As a spacecraft moves into deep space, the people on board would be exposed to even more cosmic radiation and solar particles, which is "fairly dangerous," Reynolds said.

Interestingly, according to Reynolds, astronauts' risk of dying of cancer is lower than that of the general public because they tend to be in shape, eat well, don't smoke and receive careful monitoring from doctors. Of course, none of them have been to Mars.

Semones emphasized that NASA does not study the health effects of Mars colonization and that it's focusing on shorter recognition missions of the surface of Mars. "We're not looking at colonization of Mars or anything. We're not focusing our research on those kinds of questions."

Can it be done?

Mars One isn't the only group hoping to make history by sending people to the red planet. The Inspiration Mars Foundation wants to launch two people -- a man and a woman -- on a 501-day, round-trip journey to Mars and back in 2018 without ever touching down.

501 days in space with your spouse: Could you handle it?

At this time there is no technology that can protect astronauts from an excess of space radiation. "The maximum number of days to stay with our standards is on the order of 500 days. So any mission that would exceed 500 days would not be doable," Semones said.

Reynolds agreed: "At this point it's completely infeasible to try to send someone to Mars unless we can get there faster or we develop better shielding for a spacecraft."

NASA is working on engines intended to cut the travel time to Mars by the 2030s, but those systems won't be ready for many years, Chris Moore, NASA's deputy director of advanced exploration systems, told CNN this year. In the meantime, Moore said engineers could try to limit travelers' exposures by designing a spacecraft in such a way that it provides more protection.

But Mars One founder Lansdorp insisted his group will get people landing on Mars by 2023.

"The risks of space travel in general are already very high, so radiation is really not our biggest concern," he said.

If that all sounds good, you can still sign up.

But remember: You can never go home again
