Islammuslims, please check this out by udatso(op):
Please note that this write up is for muslims alone.
There are muslims who are usually being preached to by their friends/neighbours to convert to christianity. Its a common thing here that when a Christian wants you to convert to his religion, his first move is to be very nice to you and later followed by preaching with lots of love and care. Most muslims are usually deceived by these acts especially those who might not know some basic facts in comparative studies.
There are many topics you can choose from to challenge a Christian. I will just go into THE AUTHENTICITY OF THE BIBLE since that's the center of reference to what he might want to talk about.

daontop: if u've bin readin my post u would hav understood wot i ve bin sayn bt i guess u are'nt; dat d Nigeria state is a secar state.. yes d xmas tree nd all dat.. bt do u no dat d same fed govt spend alot to make sure Muslims in Nigerian go 2mecca all in d name of hajj? hw many christians hav dey sponsord 2 rome, jerusalem etc?.. wel i am nt tryn 2defend govt bt my own opinion is dat d govt knowin dat Nigeria being an multi ethnic nd religion state shld.nt in any way or form support any group...bt if an individual in govt who may b d president or his vice decides to erect an xmas tree in his name or his family...mst it be termd "supressing islam?" u may tink pple hate ur religion bt dey dnt bt rather wot dey dislike is d way d followers of d religion treat issues witout d others at heart... i could remember around 1986 durin d reign of gen. baba*****, He registered Nigeria in d Organisation of Islamic Countries (OIC).. hw many pple complaind or came up to challenge him? Gen. Abacha did d same.. Bt i am sure if Nigeria is termd "A CHRISTIAN NATION" nt even registerd as 1.. i mean boko haram would hav bin a smal case cos i am pretty sure we wil be havn a bigger boko haram....

Am sorry if my words were offensive..bt seriously we can talk abt dis ol day. D case of hajj is different. In xtrianity, its nt compulsory for a xtian to visit rome(correct me if am wrong), and d govmnt sponsor both parties..its nt jst muslims alone(correct me if am wrong), so hw is dis impertial? Wot am sayn is d use of hijab a bad tn? Wot negatv effect does it av ? I knw u wil come up wt it has 2 b uniform since its sch uniform....u shd also knw dat, uniform is what we agreed 4 it 2 b..if its nt going against any moral value of a society, y shd it b opposed evn when its a compulsory act on d people involved...in islam, if u are under d rule of a xtian( like d sch was a private sch owned by a xtian), defintly, as a muslim, if u must follow d injuctions of ur faith, u wd av 2 leave d sch and find smwhere else u can av such freedom except otherwise.....nw, dis sch is a state/federal govnmnt sch and its neither xtians' nor muslims'..so y shd d muslims b stoppped..smbdy said, hw abt evry oda set of religion bringn dia cultures 2 sch bt let's look at it dis way. For d celestial church 4 example, u only where ur white garmnt wen going 2 church and as soon as u bak, dats d end...hijab is an ol tym wear...d truth is as soon is d sound of islam comes in, no bdy is willing 2 compromise....is there any xtian practise dat muslims av tried 2 prevent d xtians from doing as long as its their doctrine....islam is a religion of peace...media has its own impact in ol of dis in portrayn islam as against peace both nationaly and internationly...

BetaThings: One thing Christians don't understand is that Muslims are human beings too and though you might think our IQ is very low, but the little brain Allah has given us makes us KNOW that you are waging war/discriminating against Muslims

We wanted to use our own fund to set up Islamic Bank. We just wanted approval from CBN to do so. Christians were all over the news - they want to islamise this country, it will cause more disruption, people would be asking for Amadioha/Osun Bank etc
We said yes, allow us. Let the others ask. We have no issues with Okija bank

Now our government used government money to erect a National Christmas Tree. All the arguments against Islamic bank disappeared. Nobody feared that people would ask for Osun Birthday Tree. Or that it will not deepen cleavage in the society

This issue with the hijab tells me nothing other than Christians just hate Islam. I am yet to see what Christians want that Muslims object to



Look at those in red colour. Are they similar? Muslims HAD to attend sunday service. Christians left Muslims alone to attend THEIR Friday prayers. Where is the equality. I hope you realise that forcing a muslim to say anybody other than Allah is God is a great sin. Everytime he says it, he has to repent immediately. So what is the use?

There are muslims who would go near na.ked if allowed. But that is not the issue.
We would not use the fact that some Christians are ready to go to work on Sunday morning as evidence against those who want to go to church
We just want those muslims who believe (and I do so) that hijab is compulsory to be allowed to wear it without incident
May Allah reward you for this. Couldn't have said it better

IslamWill I Be Forgiven? by udatso(op): 10:11am On Mar 07, 2013
You might say: “I want to repent, but my sins are many indeed. There is no kind of immoral act, no kind of sin, imaginable or otherwise, that I have not committed. It is so bad that I do not know if Allaah can forgive me for the things that I have done over the years.”
In response, I would tell you that this is not a unique problem; it is one that is shared by
many of those who wish to repent. Let me
give you the example of a young man who
asked this question once. He began his
career of sin at a very early age, and by the
time he was only seventeen, he already had
a long record of committing every kind of
immoral act, major and minor, with all kinds
of people, old and young alike. He had even
abused a little girl. Added to this was a long
list of thefts. Then he said: “I have repented
to Allaah. I now pray tahajjud some nights,
and I fast every Monday and Thursday, and I
read Qur’aan after Fajr prayers. Will my
repentance be of any avail?”
The guiding principle for us Muslims is to
refer to the Qur’aan and Sunnah when we
look for rulings, solutions and remedies.
When we refer this matter to the Qur’aan, we
find that Allaah says (interpretation of the
meaning): “Say: ‘O My slaves who have
transgressed against themselves (by
committing evil deeds and sins)! Despair not
of the Mercy of Allaah, verily Allaah forgives
all sins. Truly, He is Oft-Forgiving, Most
Merciful. And turn in repentance and in
obedience with true faith to your Lord and
submit to Him…” [al-Zumar 39:53-54].
This is the answer to this particular problem.
The matter is quite clear and needs no
further explanation.
The feeling that one’s sins are too great to be forgiven by Allaah stems from a number of factors:
The absence of certain faith on the part
of the slave in the vastness of Allaah’s mercy
A lack of faith in the ability of Allaah to
forgive all sins
Weakness in one aspect of the heart’s
action, namely hopee
Failure to understand the effect of
repentance in wiping out sins inshaAllah, this points will be answered.
“… and My Mercy embraces all
things…” [al-A’raaf 7:156]
It is sufficient to quote the saheeh
hadeeth qudsi: “Allaah says: “Whoever
knows that I am able to forgive all sins, I
shall forgive him, and I shall not mind,
so long as he does not associate
anything with Me.’”
(Reported by al-Tabaraani in al-Kabeer,
and by al-Haakim; Saheeh al-Jaami’,
4330)..
This refers to when the slave meets his
Lord in the Hereafter.
(Reported by al-Tirmidhi; Saheeh al-
Jaami’, 4330)..
This refers to when the slave meets his
Lord in the Hereafter.
(Reported by al-Tirmidhi; Saheeh al-
Jaami’, 4338)..
(peace and blessings of Allaah be upon
him): “The one who repents from his sin
is like the one who did not sin in the first
place.”
(Reported by Ibn Maajah; Saheeh al-
Jaami’, 3008).

daontop: coolheed:
You are missing a vital point here. The issue
at hand relate to a public school funded by
the taxpayers irrespective of religion. Why
will you deny any religion the benefit of
attending a public school. Muslims are
saying that hijab is a fundamental component
of their religious belief and this is supported
by the country's constitution. Any dress code
that violates a constitutional right should be
revisited. Again, dialogue with key
stakeholders appears ...


frm my previous post, thr was no place i said dat muslims shld be denied frm attendin a public skul.. bt my opinion is dat thr shld be a demarcatn btw govt nd religion... Nigeria includin lagos which is 1of her child is a secular state. if muslimz r sayn hijab is a fundamental component of thr religion, r u nw sayn masquerade carryn nd use of charm is nt a fundamental component of d traditnal religion nd wearn of white garment is nt a fundamental component of d celestial churches nd use of orange-green lik apron used by the Lords chosen is nt a fundamental component of thr sect nd nt suppotd by d constitutn? if d state shld allow d muslim gals 2wear thr hijab 2skul den dey shld also be ready 2allow d traditnalist 2wear his masquerade 2skul nd trust oda religiouz groups, dey may even bring snake 2skul all in d name of religion...... rest my case

My thinking now is that some countries are bent on formenting sectarian war in Nigeria in order to justify intervention and grab our oil. One world power had predicted that Nigeria will disintegrate by 2015 and I see the plan in the works. Just think of it, how come this Boko Haram is faceless, so sophisticated in their executions and no known member has ever been apprehended (I stand to be corrected). We know that some Islamist groups can be indirectly guided from the shadows by some intelligence agencies without their knowing. We have seen that in Iraq and Syria. Now that Middle East oil may not be dependable because of the ongoing saga with Iran, dont you think that Nigeria's oil, the largest producer in Africa, will make a good replacement?- 2011 ...like I stated earlier...its my own point of view, if yours contradict mine, you don't have to insult me.

This move get to buttress the evil and cunniness of the northern governors who capitalized on the precarious situation of the president in the last general election to arm twist him into an Okija Like agreement. This desperate move by Aliyu and his clique is dead before arrival because the president like any other person is eligibly bound by the federal constitution to have a re- election and whatever, informal, verbal or written agreement he had with some persons are immaterial as far as good governance is concerned.

PoliticsAlh. Tanko Yakassai Opposes Governor Aliyu's Claim On GEJ by udatso(op): 12:54pm On Feb 18, 2013
The mystery over President Goodluck
Jonathan’s alleged agreement with
northern governors of Peoples Democratic
Party, PDP, in 2011 not to contest the 2015
presidential election deepened, yesterday.
Governor Babangida Aliyu of Niger State,
who blew the lid on the issue, it was learnt,
had warned his close associates and top
aides not to comment on the matter. It was
also learnt yesterday, that the governor
may have been mandated to make the
revelation on behalf of northern governors.
Governor Aliyu is chairman of Northern
Governors Forum.
Alhaji Tanko Yakassi, one of the leading
members of the Northern Political Leaders
Forum, NPLF, told Vanguard, yesterday,
that an attempt by the forum to get the
president to concede the 2015 presidential
ticket to the north failed after two
meetings.
Yakassi’s assertion, nonetheless, other
northern opinion leaders, yesterday,
pointed to President Olusegun Obasanjo’s
claim on the final day of PDP campaigns
where he was quoted as saying that
President Jonathan would serve one term.
President’s supporters disparage claims
Supporters of the president last night
disparaged the claims. Mr. Joe
Ambakaderemo, national coordinator of
South-South Elements Progressive Union,
SSEPU, described the existence of the
agreement as inconceivable, outlandish
and myopic, saying Aliyu should wait till
2019 to realise his ambition.
Governor Aliyu had, in a radio interview on
Saturday, claimed that the president
reached an agreement not to contest the
2015 presidential election.
He said: “I recall that at the time he was
going to declare for the 2011 election, all
PDP governors were brought together to
ensure that we were all in the same frame
of mind.
“And I recall that some of us said that,
given the circumstances of the death of
President Umaru Yar’Adua and given the
PDP zoning arrangement, it was expected
that the North was to produce the president
for a given number of years.
“I recall that at that discussion, it was
agreed that Jonathan would serve only one
term of four years and we all signed the
agreement. Even when Jonathan went to
Kampala, in Uganda, he also said he was
going to serve a single term.”
Yesterday, attempts to get Governor Aliyu
to elaborate on the nature of the
agreement were not successful as it
emerged that the governor had decided to
shut himself away from further comments
on the issue. It was learnt that he had
strictly instructed aides and associates not
to further discuss the issue.
Matter of honour
Meanwhile, Alhaji Yakassi, who was Special
Adviser to President Shehu Shagari on
National Assembly matters and was also a
leading member of the NPLF, the northern
group that championed a northern
presidential candidate told Vanguard
yesterday that following the PDP primaries
efforts to get the president to agree to
serve a single term did not break through.
Claiming ignorance of the alleged
