TV/Movies / Re: What Movie Are You Watching Now? by whitelotus: 9:27pm On Jul 07, 2020
I just lost interest in this thread.

On one hand, there is a lack of movies coming out this corona period.

On the other, naptu2 just destroyed the love I have for this thread. 2 of my main guys left.

Now, we are left with brain dead analysis from the likes of Mekaprime and alexistaiwo.

God help us.

Islam for Muslims / Re: Do Muslims Support Trump? by whitelotus: 8:05pm On Jul 07, 2020
IMAliyu:
Welp I've never been to the US, but I've followed some of the politics online.
So here is my gut feeling on the subject.

Would probably go for a third party if possible.
But I see Trump as the "devil I know" rather than the Democrats who were suppose to be the reasonable people decending into lunacy.
Of all the reasonable candidates that could easily beat Trump. Andrew Yang, Bernie Sanders they decided to go with Joe Biden whom based on a number of videos is showing signs of cognitive decline (old age) and would probably just become a puppet in office. And there is the identity politics stuff and babying of minorities from the left which is kinda annoying.

Another thing is even a liberal Muslim is rather relatively conservative therefore their views align more with the Republican views, except that the Republicans hate Muslim guts.
On the Abortion topic, I see abortion as morality wrong, but shouldn't be illegal. Things are never easily black and white as we would like to imagine. Same thing goes to the reason behind someone wanting an abortion.
On homosexuality, I like America for some of it's libertarian values, so I don't need to like it, as long as it doesn't interfere with my life, family, or work, I don't see a reason to care.


A malicious part of me wants Trump to win, so that I could see people loose their F*ing minds and watch the world burn. (But I won't listen to the dark thoughts) grin



Well said.

I have always maintained that national politics goes beyond more than one issue. One has to look at the bigger picture itself.

Many Nigerian muslims now will see their brothers who are students in america being deported as Trumps new policy comes into place.

Islam for Muslims / Re: Islam For Muslims: Side Talk Station by whitelotus: 3:31pm On Jul 07, 2020
Empiree, do you know that justice is slow but very sweet when it comes?

I remember 7 years ago when maclatunji was abusing his mod privilege to ban non muslims in the islam section. He was the first mod to ban people for 100 years. 100 years. I was his first victim.

He turned the Islam section that was bustling into a sharia state where non muslims were unwanted aliens. He had support from bigoted muslims who enjoyed watching non muslims get banned.

Today, the situation has reversed. Non muslims have taken over the islam section. Maclatunji is no longer in power (he is now a shady taxi salesman on nairaland). The islam section lost a lot of muslim commenters.

Maclatunji's actions led to the death of the islam section. Very few threads getting past the 2nd page.

Do you know the sweetest part of all this? Maclatunji himself came a few days back to witness the consequences of his actions.

Good times.

Islam for Muslims / Re: The Concept Of Omni by whitelotus: 7:52am On Jul 07, 2020
IMAliyu:
On the subject of the word Omni, it means all and to be all something, you have to be all not the opposite thing.
So the use of Omni is wrong, so maybe a different word would need to be invented to describe having an attribute that's not mutually exclusive.

I'm sure that this is what the op is trying to say.

The concept of "Omni" creates contradictions and paradoxes. It is a problematic concept. Theists should be careful in how they apply it to their gods

uboma:



What do you mean in your last sentence? How are women inferior beings?


I'm sure that he is referring to how some muslims maltreat women based on their interpretation of the islamic scriptures.

For example
-women need more witnesses in courts
-women cant marry outside the faith but men can
-women cannot marry more than one husband but men can marry more than one wife
-some interpretations of Surah 4;34 support wife beating.

Islam for Muslims / Do Muslims Support Trump? by whitelotus: 7:29am On Jul 07, 2020
I was on a thread where I saw two muslims saying that they would vote for Trump if they had the chance.

Their argument was that they support Trump because he is against abortion and homosexuality. This is a very reductionist or myopic way of seeing politics.

Supporting Trump because he is anti-abortion is like supporting a crazy person because the crazy person is anti-police brutality.

Many of your muslim brothers are dying from Coronavirus in America because of Trump's mishandling of prevention measures. The economy is spiralling downwards. The USA is devolving into anarchy with Trump breaking laws anyhow. Trump himself is a criminal with all the shady business deals he has done- including misappropriating funds from his charity.


IJOBA2:
NO REASONABLE MUSLIM WOULD SUPPORT JOE BIDEN FOR PRESIDENT. MUSLIMS THAT I KNOW DO NOT SUPPORT ABORTION AND HOMOSEXUALITY. THIS IS ONE OF THE REASONS LIEbral democRATS HATES TRUMP.

Islam gave you purpose.


Ogbeni, practice what you preach. Go and marry two wives.


I have rarely seen a peaceful polygamous home. It is rare. The few ones that are peaceful have an air of tension. For instance, the man has to walk on eggshells so that he buys the same things for both wives. If he sends one set of children from one wife abroad, he must send the other wife's children abroad too.
Islam for Muslims / Re: Is The Quran Perfect? by whitelotus: 7:01am On Jul 07, 2020
I must thank Udatso again for helping me expose Empiree and now, making Empiree show that he is not an honest muslim.

When faced with the fact that he supports puberty as the age of consent as a muslim (which is perverted as 11 year old girls can reach puberty), he is now trying to deflect by bringing up Woody Allen's case in the USA.


Empiree, your Woody Allen case is fake news. He did not marry his adopted daughter. Woody Allen never adopted Soon-Yi Previn. They also started dating when she was an adult. Though, there is some perversion there as Woody Allen also dated her adoptive mother. This is a case of incest and not pedophilia..

Previn has said that Allen "was never any kind of father figure [to her]," and added that she "never had any dealings with him" during her childhood.[15] The findings of the judicial investigation carried out during the custody trial between Allen and Farrow determined that before 1990 they had rarely even spoken to each other
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soon-Yi_Previn#:~:text=Soon%2DYi%20Previn%20(%2F%CB%88,boyfriend%20for%20over%2010%20years.

======================================================

That aside, Empiree you clearly want to hide that you support 11 year old girls consenting to sex. Shame on you.

Simple illustration.


Omni is a problem.

God is omniscient.

That is, God knows everything.

But if God knows everything, that means he cannot forget.

But if God cannot forget, then he doesn't know how to forget or at least, how it feels to forget.


Contradiction

It is good to go to old threads. I have caught Empiree admitting that his interpretation of Islam supports PEDOPHILIA!!

Thank you, udatso. May you continue to expose your beliefs


Empiree:
That's what happens when you lose.

"Age consent" is PUBERTY. Other factors are embedded therein.


So, Empiree, so you agree that 12 year old girls who have reached puberty can give consent to have sex, abi?

Nonsense

Snubish, please dont fall this weak escape tactic.

1. Many of the threads that he calls "recycled topics" do not even address a quarter of the questions regularly asked by non muslims on islam. For instance, there are no threads on women's rights on islam.


2. Udatso wants you to accept whatever weak defence they give for flaws in islam. I read the thread on apostasy and I wept for logic.



My buddy even posted many topics that were not addressed in the recycled topics thread-

JackBizzle:
Salaam

Great thread. Please, I need rebuttal threads for these questions


1) Did the Prophet buy and sell slaves? (according to Bukhari)

2) What is the justification for the prophet having more than 10 wives when 4 is the limit?

3) Early marriage in Islam- why is there no age of consent in Islam (14 year olds getting married)?

4) Why is there no hijab or niquaab for men?

5) Can it be explained why no islamic country is in the top 20 developed countries (HDI) in the world?



It would be nice to see rebuttal threads to these issues


salaam

The weekend is almost over and I thought this thread would have generated a healthy debate. NL Islam for Muslims section is a shadow of its former self. I assumed Muslims, atheists, and other rationally inclined minds would have jumped on this thread by now engaging in some intellectual slugging. But alas, gone are those days, everyone is just content airing their own opinions without being challenged, not impressive.


cc Vedaxcool, empiree, lanrexlan, udatso.

I believe that many muslims here know that they cannot defend islam and they feel that it is better they ignore atheists or hard questions about the religion.

Tekken: Blood Vengeance.

Nice and action packed. It's lovely they made it an animation instead of a movie. Would have been a catastrophe.

Absolutely loved the fight among this three: Heihachi, Kazuya and Jinn. Shit was nasty and the trio didn't disappoint. Wish I could say the same for Anna and Nina Williams.

Still it was very very nice.

I give it 8.7/10.

Wow....memories!! When I was still into tekken! I think I watched the movie in 2012/13


A lot of characters didnt make it into the movie. Eddie, Christie etc

I have to you to zip it if you don't know what you are talking about.



And We have sent down on you the Book (Qur'an) as an evident (exposition) of everything, and as a guidance, and a mercy, and as good tidings to Muslims (i.e., those who surrender to Allah). Q16:89



Another translation


And We have sent down the Book (Qur'an) to EXPLAIN ALL THINGS and as a guidance, and a mercy, and as good tidings to Muslims (i.e., those who surrender to Allah).



Based on the verse above, implication is that Qur'an was revealed to explain the past, present and the future. We will continue to understand and be able to explain some verses of Qur'an when future events unfolds. Some verses are active. Some were already active and some are still passive until event unfolds in the world. At some point, verses that talked about technology and modern aircrafts were redundant. Now we understand them.


So I have just learned today that scholars of Islam already prepared Islamic view of cryptocurrency sometimes ago. I didn't know this but that doesn't mean I don't have my view. It was sent to me in WhatsApp


This is the definition of fanaticism and ignorance- going to an ancient 1,000 year old book to look for guidance on a new technology.

And you wonder why atheists sometimes see some of you muslims as ridiculous?
