@WesleyanA

You seem to be laughing a lot at this serious matter. 

Try not to laugh so much, so we can have a civil discourse.  Make your posts more credible by providing links to references.  That elevates your credibility.

And, no more moronic laughter, ok?

Yes ma'am 

but then, "her" would be more appropriate (i know my username sounds like a guy's name but still, . refering to your former post )

and i still don't see any trace of compromise in that  bishop statement. it's just "we didn't fight back" assertions.

Christians need to fight back too but not "violently". if not there wouln't be statements in the bible where God says "the lord will fight for me and I shall hold my peace".
Christians preach Jesus who was punished with all the kinds of torture there are in this world did he do anything violent? no!
he said "love your enemies" and denounced the infamous "an eye for an eye."
a way Jesus fought was through his works. he laid good example for christianity as a nonviolent peace loving anti-war man.
despite all the things he faced. he was alone too!

also, you can't blame it all on religion there are other causes for these riots (tribalism is a huge part that needs to be settled too).

I'll provide links of references if and when you need me to proove a point to you that's not a personal opinion or a general commonplace statement.
or do you need me to provide a link to you where the bible says "don't practice an eye for an eye"?
it's somewhere in the new testament.

oooooo i'm scared.

i don't know why you think i hate igbo's.
the only people i can't stand are violent people and those trying to divide Nigeria!!

why can't people just love their neighbor as themselves muslims/christians?

i sort of figured out long ago that this muslim/christian thing is a disguise for northerners vs igbo.
using religion as a disguise is what i don't understand.

i have relatives in the north/south and i wouldn't want any harm befalling them. so all these violence is killing me.


and yeah. i was off for a while because i had to do some stuff and  had to prepare for SATs. i'm still in the process  

oasis:
Once the stupid riots in the north seize, we'd have peace at last. Until then, an eye for an eye.

i had to laugh while reading this sentence. it's not funny but holds tons of irony!

once riots in the north cease, there'll be peace? says who? there are more things to peace than riots!! go figure

until then, an eye for an eye? makes me wonder if this is really a religious conflict and not a merely a biafra/tribal conflict. when did "an eye for an eye" become a christian cause? If you practice and preach that then i guess it's time for you to go hire someone to revise the Bible or make amendments to it because it no longer suits you.

oasis:
Yes, I can.

The death toll has been controlled in the north.  Once the message got to the Hausas that the lives of their relatives in the south is in danger, they quickly seized the riots.

Even more than that, this reaction is psychological.  Before the lunatics decide to start another riot in future, they'd think twice.  That is the point of this whole riot in the south.

you make me laugh.

this is not the first time there have been riots or christians killing muslims. stuff like this actually invoke more killings instead of reducing it!

"they quickly seized the riots" you say? you mean the igbo killings caused them to stop the riots? you make me laugh
do you know what the real psychological reaction is?
the killings only give them more weapon to react again and i wouldn't be surprised if this goes on until a non violent solution is applied.

It has been tried, over and over again.  Christian leaders have always come out to appeal to the muslims each time a riot occurs.  Nothing ever gets done about it.

Besides, aren't radical muslims just as brutal in Nigeria as they are anywhere else?  Show me one place where compromise has ever worked with radical muslims?

Quit the lying and deceit please.  Christians have had enough.  More killings will send a message that wanton hooliganism cannot be tolerated, even if the government pretends christians don't exist.

now we need to set straight what a compromise really is.
a compromise isn't some christian guy going on Tv and begging moslems to stop only when riots occur.

muslim leaders and christian leaders have to sit down together and work things out.
first, each side have to tell the other side what exactly they want. then they'll make arrangements for what they can give each other and it has to be a fair compromise too.

and you just made my point exactly. we should be able to distinguish radical moslems from moderate/mild ones. don't go attacking innocent moslems. it makes matter worse.
i don't support moslems attacking innocent christians either.
what i see is lack of understanding and trust between both groups.
Nigeria is generally an intolerant country.

if you support more killings and call yourself christian, it's called hypocrisy/ being a bad christian. 
same goes with moslems too.

Bill:
Hello,

I am an American college student. I just read about the[b] retaliatory violence taking place in your country under the guise of disputes over cartoons of Mohammad.[/b] I've seen some posts on this board supporting this tit-for-tat violence and I am appalled and disgusted.

Why can't people realize that we're human beings first and Muslims, Christians, or anything else second?! What does this senseless violence bring you? Satisfaction? Revenge? Remember what Ghandi said: "An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind."

Do not allow yourselves to be manipulated by those who use these cartoon disputes to carry out their own violent and destructive ends. Anyone who would murder and innocent person is neither a good Christian nor a good Muslim.
I am praying for peace in your country.

i agree w/ this post 100%

@ Sunnero, i said "maybe" because i wasn't sure. But thanks for the correction.

@Oasis, can you tell me how violence has or have been solving this problem?
don't say compromise isn't going to work if it hasn't been tried!

do you actually know the probable implications of this? You would have no right to say moslems are the violent ones anymore.
now we can agree that muslems as well as christians are violent.

If those northerners hadn't heard about the "cartoon" issue, nothing would have happened.
some people just have their brethrens and seek destruction for the fun of it.

why would you think offending cartoons shouldn't be published
but think that violent killings of people who didn't publish those cartoons should be carried out.

it's just plain hypocrisy.

those Mohammedians/moslems should go directly to Denmark and face the cartoonist rather than bully innocent christians.

mocking cartoon images of Jesus were drawn too but did some christians react violently? NO!!
(Nigeria excluded because lately i've been hearing of "peace loving" christian killing moslems in the north?)
so before saying moslems like violence, some christians are taking that path too.

The old testament is still part of the bible.  The Israelite's had to kill the Egyptians to gain their freedom.

And that's your justification for violence?
you would get a gun and blow a guy's head because he's supposedly detering your freedom?

geez. people will always ignore some parts of the bible for the parts they're comfortable with. Humans

"THOU SHALL NOT KILL" IS "THOU SHALL NOT KILL"
that  your "israelites killed too" statement is just a stupid lame excuse. You refused to mentioned that Isreaelites were big time sinners. and that killing egyptains WAS BEFORE THE TEN COMMANDMENTS WERE WRITTEN.

not all muslims are violent first off all. That's just a lame generalization some people use just to set other vulnerable people off as scapegoats for their downfalls and misfortunes.  IT HAPPENED TO THE JEWS TOO.

More killings would occur until the purveyors of murder in the north get the message that it is wrong to attack innocent christians.

oh really? go ahead then and kill till your hands get sore.
the "dumb" northerners don't have enough dead people, when they do, they'll get the message right?

have you considered the fact that there are maybe more than twice as much northerners as southeasterns

to tell you the truth, it's when you guys get the message that you've had enough dead people, then you'll stop with the violence and seek alternative methods to your problems.

i don't support violence from either side. It's not going to solve the problem.
for those who think it's going to solve it, look back all these years and tell me if it's been getting better or GETTING WORSE.

compromise is option for a solution. IMO.

THis is a good day in the Nation Of Biafra.I hope those animals in the south are getting the massage that we've had enugh already.

why is Nigeria this way? hatred everywhere 

i love my moslem/christian brothers/sisters and wouldn't wish anyone death good or bad.

i can't stand when some people say "judgement is in God's hands" but they go ahead to throw stones and get happy/excited when they see violence.

stuff like this should make us sad not happy!

years back, it was the Jews now it's moslems! and it's not Nigeria only. it's like a global thing except Nigerians know how to make their troubles xtra large.


shame on us for letting religious/ethnic conflicts divide us.

i feel bad.

i don't know if it's just me or some nails in certain fingers grow faster than others. my index finger for example grows the slowest (oh yes. that's the one i bite a lot when i'm nervous).

it comes on while i'm at school too. . I watch it during breaks even though i get confused at times and i'm too lazy to read it on their website.

i'm not really a fan of french music but i like this song (vadette?) for now.

"Parce Qu'on Vient De Loin" by Corneille

Nous sommes nos propres pères.
Si jeunes et pourtant si vieux, ça me fait penser, tu sais.
Nous sommes nos propres mères
Si jeunes et si sérieux, mais ça va changer.
On passe le temps, à faire des plans pour le lendemain.
Pendant que le beau temps, passe et nous laisse vide et incertain.
On perd trop de temps, à suer, s'écrocher les mains.
À quoi ça sert si on n'est pas sûr de voir demain? A rien.

[chorus/refrain]

Alors on vit, chaque jour comme le dernier
Et vous feriez pareil, si seulement vous saviez
Combien de fois, la fin du monde nous a frôlé
Alors on vit chaque jour comme le dernier
Parce qu'on vient de loin

Quand les temps sont durs,
On se dit pire, que notre histoire n'existe pas,
Et quand l'hiver perdure,
On se dit simplement que la chaleur nous reviendra.
Et c'est facile comme ça.
Jous après jour,
On voit combien tout est éphémère.
Alors même en amour
J'aimerai chaque reine,
Comme si c'était la dernière.
L'air est trop lourd,
Quand on ne vit que sur de prières.
Moi je savoure chaque instant,
Bien avant que s'éteigne la lumière.

[refrain/chorus]

Jous après jour,
On voit combien tout est éphémère
Alors vivons pendant qu'on peut encore le faire
Mes chers

[refrain/chorus]
