It is somewhat surprising that Nigerian Christians, and even a newspaper like Punch, are surprised that there is a mosque named after Mary, the mother of Christ, in Dubai in the United Arab Emirates. Those asking Nigerian Muslims to learn from Dubai, are actually the ones who should learn from Nigerian Muslims. They are relatively ignorant of Islam. The most Islamic state in Nigeria is Sokoto. And one of the most common names in that seat of the Islamic Caliphate is actually the name of Christ. Isa is not a Hausa name. Isa, or Yisa, or Issa, is the Arabic version of Yeshua in Hebrew and Jesus in Greek. So revered is the name in Sokoto that a Local Government Area is named after Him-Isa Local Government Area, Sokoto. As a matter of fact, you cannot be a true Muslim if you do not believe that God sent Christ. When prophet Muhammad, Salla Allahu alayhi Wasalaam, had his first revelation of the Quran, he went with his wife, Khadijah, to consult a man named Waraqah ibn Nawfal. Waraqah was a monotheistic Christian, who revered Maryam (Mary). When the Quraysh wanted to kill prophet Muhammad (SAW) and the first Muslims, the Muslims escaped to the Christian nation of Ethiopia, where they were protected by the Negus, which was the first hijrah before the hijrah to Medina. Christ is mentioned by name in the Quran more times than anybody except prophet Muhammad (SAW), and his mother, Maryam, of whom the Dubai mosque is named, is the only woman mentioned BY NAME in the Quran. (Other women were mentioned but not by name). So, if Al-Quran mentions Maryam, why is it surprising that a mosque is adorned with her name? Christ Himself is described in the Quran as Al-Masihu Isa (Yeshua The Messiah) in Quran 4.157, 4.171. So, it is only people unfamiliar with Islam in general, and with Islam as practiced in Nigeria, that will marvel at the Dubai mosque named after Maryam (Mary). How can you ask Nigerian Muslims, who named a whole Local Government after Yeshua (Jesus), to learn from Dubai, because they named a mosque after Maryam (Mary). Who should learn tolerance from who? #TableShaker

Kukutente23:new york times is a liar too

Kukutente23:The Lord's Resistance Army strolled into the village of Palabek one recent morning, a ragged bunch of teen-age boys with machine-guns and machetes. They announced that they were looking for three deserters whom they had abducted from the same village a few months earlier, witnesses said. They did not find them. So they rounded up nine women and a little girl and took them down to a nearby river bank to interrogate them about the missing boys. That afternoon, growing tired of asking questions, they made the women lie face down on the river bank. Then they went down the line, attacking each woman with stones and a bayonet, a survivor said. ''They are just criminals who came from Sudan,'' said Eveline Achan, a 30-year-old woman who said her wounds had been received in the attack. ''They made us lie down. Don't look at them, they said. And then they killed us one at a time. I was the only one who escaped. They thought I was dead.'' A year after Uganda's President, Yoweri Museveni, vowed to wipe out the insurgency in the north of this central African country, the bloodthirsty gangs of self-styled revolutionaries and Christian fundamentalist rebels known as the Lord's Resistance Army have not only survived, but are stepping up their campaign of terror. Theirs is a familiar kind of warfare in this part of the world, repeated in different forms in Rwanda, Burundi and eastern Zaire. Though the rebels claim to be fighting to overthrow Mr. Museveni, their war consists mainly of killing civilians, sowing terror in the countryside and making it appear to Ugandans and the outside world that the central Government cannot control the nation. ''It's not what you would call a bona fide rebellion in the traditional sense,'' a diplomat in Kampala said, speaking on the condition of anonymity. ''I would call them terrorists.'' Militarily, the rebels lack the resources to topple the President, Western diplomats say. They have little support among the people. They survive mostly on the charity of the neighboring Sudan, which arms them to retaliate against Uganda for supporting rebel groups in southern Sudan. ''I don't think their intention is to overthrow the Government,'' said John Bosco Oryem, the chairman of the Kitgum council. ''They are just being used as a whip by Sudan.''Since January, the rebels have stepped up their raids, burning farms and schools and killing at least 400 people in the districts of Kitgum and Gulu, local authorities said. They have also abducted hundreds of young men and women, marching them to training camps in the Sudan, where their leader, Joseph Kony, holds court. The rebel group began in 1986 as the Holy Spirit Movement, a Christian fundamentalist revolt under the leadership of a cult leader, Alice Lakwena, who claimed to give her followers immunity from bullets by anointing them with holy water .The holy water didn't work, and the movement was crushed by the army. Miss Lakwena fled to Kenya, where she was imprisoned in 1987. But with Sudanese help, Mr. Kony revived the revolt and has been plaguing Mr. Museveni since 1990. Mr. Kony is a former faith healer who wears white robes and claims to talk directly to God. His followers embrace an eclectic group of beliefs, including prohibitions against riding bicycles, killing pigs and eating white-feathered chickens. Punishment is severe: the rebels have chopped off the feet of young men caught riding bicycles.The recent attacks have devastated the northern provinces, forcing more than 220,000 people to flee their farms at a time when they would normally be harvesting. With agriculture grinding to a halt and crowds of displaced people jamming towns and refugee camps, the World Food Program, in a $6.7 million relief effort, has begun shipping tons of food into the region to avert famine. ''The big question is, will the security situation allow them to go back to their farms before the March rains?'' asked Herve L. Cheuzeville, an emergency coordinator for the World Food Program in Kitgum. ''We are really praying they can go back to the fields in March. If they can't, it will be a disaster. In six months it will be much worse.'' All along the main roads leading from Kitgum toward the Sudan one can see the rebels' handiwork. There are burned-out farmhouses every mile or so. Here and there the ruins of churches and schools can be seen. There are few people walking on the normally crowded route, but truckloads of soldiers pass by in a dusty whoosh, on their way to search for the rebels.On some farms mangoes are rotting on trees and chickens run wild through the ashy ruins. Still, few of the people in makeshift camps in the towns and trading centers are brave enough to venture back to their farms to get food. Gabriel Onen is typical of many of the 4,000 farmers who are now camped out around an old hotel in Kitgum town. He was shot in the leg during a rebel attack last September and still uses a crutch. He stayed in his village, however, until another attack just before Christmas. It was too much, he said. He packed up a few belongings and took his wife and five children to town. ''I am not able to do anything,'' he said, two dirty children clinging to his good leg. ''I don't know when I can go home. The village is empty. They are all in the centers now.'' The success of the rebels' tactics has undermined Mr. Museveni's standing among Ugandans, even if he won election last May in a landslide and is presiding over an economic boom. |

At least 16 people have been killed during clashes between rebels of the Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA) and villagers in the Central African Republic (CAR), a military source from the CAR has said. LRA fighters – on the run from Uganda where they fought the government for decades before being defeated – attacked two villages in the central mining region of Bria on Thursday, initially killing six people and wounding about 10 others as they looted houses, the source said late on Saturday. “The rebels were pursued and caught by villagers armed with rifles … who killed four of them,” the source added. The LRA fighters responded with a fresh attack during which they killed six more people, who they decapitated, placing their heads on tree trunks, he said. The group committed similar atrocities when they fought in northern Uganda from 1987 to 2005, but have since been forced to flee after suffering a series of defeats. Joseph Kony, the LRA leader, as well as his senior commanders have been indicted by the International Criminal Court at The Hague for war crimes and crimes against humanity. Kony is said to be holed up in the jungles between Sudan, South Sudan, Democratic Republic of Congo and CAR. After the Seleka rebel coalition ousted Francois Bozize, the president of the CAR, in a March coup, interim leader Michel Djotodia vowed to put an end to LRA incursions. The LRA has killed more than 100,000 people in Central Africa over the past 25 years, UN leader Ban Ki-moon said last month. The group is also blamed for the abduction of between 60,000 and 100,000 children, many of whom have been forced to fight as child soldiers, Ban said in a report on the region.
