Are you aware of the racist attitude those considered to be the real practitioners of islam(arabs) have towards Black people in general?Even black people who are moslems?So, with that fact,do you really believe that arab 'prophet' called mohammed really gave a damn about a negro like you?Aren't black people referred to in the quran by a derogatory term 'abdid'?What do you have to say about this?Do not evade this question and enough of your 'victim mentality' because the moslems in these present times brought the hostility on themselves.The taliban,Al-qaeda,the mujahadeen,BH and IS carry-out their attrocities using tenets from the quran claimed to be from a.llah by the warrior 'prophet' mohammed.Am I right or am I right?I am right
Racism exists all around the world. That's just the fact. To answer your question, you couldn't be more wrong. Muslims aren't just Arabs. Muslims are of different races around the world. The prophet fought to free black slaves during his time. Black slaves were amongst the first converts to muslims during his time. Bilal Ibn Rabah was a black slave who was freed by the prophets uncle and he was considered to be one of the prophets most trusted advisors. He was well respected for and loved. Do not misquote the Qur'an. You haven't read it for yourself so don't say stuff you are unsure of.

Let the muslim world take a leaf from what happened in Germany...
There have been some anti-muslim protest by some group of pple in Germany jst last week...

Then this week, there was a massive protest by the pple of Gemany against those protesters... Calling on all Germans to respect and tolerate each other irrespective of religion. Even the German president and chancelor participated in the protest. This is a way of dissociating the peaceful Germans from the anti-muslims protesters.

The muslims should learn to do same. Whenever there is a terror attack in the name of islam, they should stage a rally condeming and dissociating the true muslims from the terrorist. That way, non muslims will knw that there is a diff btw terrorist and muslims... But all they do is stage rallyand even kill others on trivail issues like the denmark cartoon.
Emir Sanisu Lamido Sanusi did just that. In return his mosque was attacked by boko Haram. This shows there is a war against us and them.We are not the same. http://www.inquisitr.com/1616355/muslim-leader-says-fight-back-against-boko-haram/

This is the argument they use to justify and defend themselves I stead of facing facts.

Man, theses Muslims can't change what is in them, he'll even Mohamed himself was all about wasr war war.
You should face the facts, the prophet was about peace, you should read up instead of believing everything you hear. He only went to war after he was attacked first and his people were being killed. He did nothing bout preach for peace. I believe in peace as well. Killing cannot be justified.

No we should not hate them because right now they are not selling anybody to slavery.
So you would have hated them back then? You can't judge a whole group of people because of the wrong doings of those with the same beliefs/race.

The hatred for muslims is far beyond repair because the muslims brought it upon themselves... Look at Germany, Sweden, Denmark and the likes... We see muslims formenting trouble all in the name that they are seeking for sharia... How den will the indigenes not hate them...

Last year, a muslim worker was banned from working infrench nuclear facility... Other muslims were screaming discrimination, but the french did it as a form of precaution... We all knw what will happen when the guy get radicalised...

Even here on nairaland, we see muslim making threat to pple on just trivial issues... How much more if its in real life...
I haven't done so, neither has any of muslims I know. So why hate me? What have I done? I get why muslims are hated. The point is, not all muslims are like that. It's like hating all Germans because of what the nazi's did during the holocaust.

Talk to your brothers.

Surely you guys have a network that synchronises your activities.So start talking to your brothers here in Nigeria, so they inturn can talk to their friends in other parts of the world.

After all your appeal, fact remains that 95% of terrorist across the world are muslims..gimme a break.

Sameera, aren't women supposed to remain silent in Islam? Why aren't Muslim men here defending you?
That's not true. Don't know where you got that from. I don't need help being defended. The point I'm trying to make is that the terrorists are a common enemy to us and Christians. I would love for us to love each other but from the comments being posted on this thread I can see how the hatred for muslims is beyond repair for most.

Sameera025. Keep ur sermon.

Muslims are associated with intolerance, unforgiving heart and a love for hurting others witout provocation..They are gradually stereotyping themselves by their deeds.

Take a look at the Charlie Hebda attack in Paris last wednesday over cartoons published exactly 3years before the attack..imagine such unforgiving people..taking human lives over cartoons...If boko haram weren't busy already, that sin committed in Paris was enough for some innocent people to die here in Nigeria.

Sasly, Your religion preaches peace and acts violence, making your effort more like water poured into an empty basket.

A muslim Mod banned me til 2042, for posting a first-time picture of succubus on a muslim anti-fornication thread.
Are u a christian? If your religion was attacked and misunderstood like that would you try and fight for people to know the truth? Would you be angry if the same were done to a photo of Jesus christ? I know I would be because I love Jesus as well as muslims because we believe he is our prophet. Don't tell me to save my sermon because I wrote it for open minded Christians who need to know the truth. I would never have a bad thing to say to a christian about Christianity. My religions makes me a better person. I won't insult or undermine anyone, because my religion has taught me better. Don't call me violent, don't tell me my heart is full of hate or that I am unforgiving because even though you say these hurtful things to me I forgive you, I don't hate you and I won't do the same back.

Judging from your replies, I now understnd... But the terrorist seems to be gaining new convert as the day passes by...
Thanks Rich4God, if I can change one persons perspective on Islam, that makes me happy. I think a lot of muslims are beyond angry with what is being done to other muslims in countries like Iraq and this is their way of retaliating. It doesn't mean what their doing is right, it is their choice. The rest of us pray and opt for peace.

Good and simple explanation... So can I conclude that the problem is from the scholars who couldnt pass on the true teaching of islam... Cos most of these terrorist thinks that they are the ones who are actually practising true islam.
Let's say, what the terrorists practice is not what the majority of muslims believe in.

Good question.... Sameera plz do justice to this...
As muslims we are taught not to judge who will go to heaven or hell. It was quoted that a prostitute went to heaven for feeding a thirsty animal and a woman went to hell for mistreating an animal. Islam teaches that if you commit suicide you will go to hell. If you kill you will go to hell. So.. As a muslim to get into heaven you shouldn't do either one.

My question is are you misguided and you are simply a coward pretending or shying away from your real colors or this jihadist are the cowards ?
I am not misguided. And I don't appreciate you insinuating that I am a coward. What I would like you to do is just do a tiny bit of research on islam and then tell me if you truly believe that the religion would justify what they did. They are the misguided ones. Prophet Muhammed (SAW) said, "Do not be people without minds of your own, saying that if others treat you well you will treat them well, and that if they do wrong you will do wrong to them. Instead, accustom yourselves to do good if people do good and not to do wrong (even) if they do evil.” (Al-Tirmidhi)

If the less privilege muslims are the ones practicing the true islam and yet they are still the ones mostly involved in terror act, then I wonder wat kinda Islam they truly practice...

Me thinks its Islam that makes dem not to fancy education. An average christian home, no matter the poverty level, they still want their kids to sch... But go to the north and see... Just Islamiyya and thats all...
If islam can incorporate secular subjects in their islamiyya, believe me, things will change.
Them not wanting their kids to go to school is an issue of culture which they try to justify with religion but our religion clearly states the seeking knowledge (education) is in the way of Islam.

*Read* Nice article and kudos to you...

Now, working together isnt a problem, but the muslims too need to show the eagerness of working together...

Now take a look at this scenario...
Boko haram, Isis, Al Qaeda and the rest have abused the name of the prophet by killing pple in his name.... They have abused the quran by quoting it to justify their act of killings... They have abused the hijab by using it as a cover for their suicide bombing mission... In all thse actions, muslims across the globe wont stage a massive rally to condem these acts by those terrorist...

But if one lunatic in the name of journalism publish a cartoon abt the prophet, the whole Islamic world will be on fire. Some to the extent of killing non muslims...

How then do you want other religion to work together when muslims have failed to massively condem the act of their brothers...
Thanks! Like I said a majority of us Muslims feel the same way. We condemn these acts. We do speak out but the media doesn't show that. I don't agree with any of the killings. What happened in Paris was extremely offensive to Muslims yes but our religion teaches us that killing is unacceptable. I'm not happy with the killings Islam does not justify it. Please do not group Muslims and terrorists as one.

Make I ask 1st *before I read am*

Why is it that most rich muslims are moderate in their view about Islam, they value education, sometimes walk the street without hijad... But the reverse is the case for the poor once.
You can't practice religion without knowledge. The underprivileged don't have money to get western education so the focus on practicing their religion. The problem comes in with influence though. Uneducated Muslims are easily manipulated into following extremism though because they believe what there are told. They don't have the knowledge to read and understand certain things for themselves.

Christianity EtcA Northern Muslim Girl's Letter To Christians by sameera025(op): 7:40pm On Jan 14, 2015
Hello everyone, I just wanted to share my story and invite Christians who have reservations about Islam to post their questions about the religion here so that we can all understand each other more and hopefully as I result I will be able to change the opinions of those of you who look at our religion in such a negative light.

I am a northern Muslim who was born and raised in the United States. Growing up I was always ashamed of being a Muslim because Islam was hated and considered as weird in the society. As a young child I badly wanted to be a Christian because it seemed easier and cooler. My friends didn't know I was a Muslim because I hid that side of myself. I didn't cover my hair, I dressed as my friends did, I wouldn't pray like I was meant to. I didn't get why it was so important to do all those things. I believed that if anything, practicing my religion would just make me unpopular in school and a bully target.
I recall an incident when I was about 6 years old and a friend of mine found an Islamic book in my room. We rummaged through the pages and made fun of the Arabic words, the names we considered to be funny and it was because we were so young and didn't understand it all.
I moved to Nigeria as a teenager and it was here that I felt comfortable being a Muslim. Being around so many other Muslims and Christians who were accepting of the religion made me feel comfortable in practicing Islam. I began covering up, and when I did I felt the importance of it. As a woman, when you cover up you feel as sense of protection. You don't obsess as much about your looks because your body is concealed. No obsessing over how your hair looks, getting attachments all that pressure because no one can see it. I began to pray daily and at doing so I became a happier person. I felt a closeness towards God and a sense of protection and guidance.
I'm ashamed at how I as a child I was embarrassed of my religion. At this point in life I couldn't be more proud to be a muslim. It's still tough being a Muslim in the world today and I know that won't go away soon. But one thing I need you all to understand is the Islam I and a majority of other Muslims practice do not agree with boko Haram and other terrorist groups and their beliefs, the killings, the hatred. We are appalled by their acts even more than Christians are. The fact that they do such heinous acts in the name of our religion which clearly condemns against such.
The more things seem to escalate with terrorism in the country and around the world, the more I observe how Christians are turning against Islam and how southerners seem to distinguish themselves from the "northerners". It breaks my heart because when I moved here Christians were soo accepting of me, the religion. I got the treatment and acceptance from Nigerian Christians more than I could have ever imagined receiving so In America.
I don't choose my friends based on religion or tribe. I love all Nigerians alike. I wish a lot more people could feel the same way too.
Anyways I've gone on for too long. I just wanted to share my story in the hopes that I can shed Islam in another light. I know it is a religion that is misunderstood. If you have any questions please ask, I would love to have peaceful discussions and start a little campaign to get Muslims and Christians across the country to work together and love each other again.

And more shame on you for believing a foreigner lies even when majority of Nigerians are condemning the same report that claim that Boko Haram are taking over the West.
So kindly state how it is untrue. What exactly has the president done to battle BH? Do you honestly believe he has put more effort and funds into battling BH than into his campaign? Why are things getting worse rather than better? Your own people are dying and hungry and need their president more than ever but he's more focused on his campaign.

On CNN this morning it was stated that President Goodluck Johnathan seems to more interested in the battle for presidency than the battle to defeat boko Haram. It's a shame that foreigners recognize the President's failure to provide leadership more than we do.

PoliticsAppeal Court Sacks Andy Uba From Senate by sameera025(op): 2:56pm On Dec 22, 2011
The political woes of former presidential aide, Andy Uba, continues today as the Court of Appeal nullified his election into the Senate and ordered fresh election into the Anambra South senatorial district.

The candidate of the All Progressives Grand Alliance for the constituency in the April elections, Chuma Nzeribe, had challenged Mr. Uba's election on the grounds that the poll was marked by rigging and irregularities in some areas in the constituency.

The court agreed with the petitioner and ordered INEC to conduct fresh election into the constituency.

The same court also sacked a member of the House of Representatives representing Anocha/Njikoka/Dunukofia federal constitutuency,Uche Ekwunife, from her seat, and ordered fresh election in Aniocha local government area of the state.

Mr. Uba was elected governor of Anambra State in 2007 but was removed in a similar circumstance by the Supreme Court, which ruled that the tenure of Governor Peter Obi was yet to expire.

The former domestic assistant to President Olusegun Obasanjo gave the governorship slot another try last year but was defeated by Mr. Obi.
