There is no requirement of criticising other religions simply because, they are not killing people in the name of religion. You and your almighty allah, never learn the straight way. Twisted mind Zomdis.

when the mind buys into a culture or believe in something, it is difficult to give it up for fear of what we don't know.

Topless ISIS executioner 'The Bulldozer' is 'CAPTURED by Syrian Army.

The 20-stone killer was believed to be rising through the ranks of the evil organisation after beheading unarmed men and chopping off the limbs of children

A terrifying ISIS executioner known as "The Bulldozer" has been reportedly captured by the Syrian Army in this dramatic footage.

The jihadi can reportedly be seen in the video naked from the waste up, with his hands tied behind his back, according to the Department of Film and Sound Young Journalists Club.

The 20-stone killer was believed to be rising through the ranks of the evil organisation, gaining a brutal reputation for beheading unarmed men and even chopping off the limbs of children.

He has previously appeared in videos reportedly filmed in Iraq showing him beheading people in front of a crowd including young children, and chopping off peoples hands.

He is known only by the sinister nickname "The Bulldozer" that he acquired after being photographed with a 52kg machine gun.

The tolerance and silence of the other real human beings(not murderous)is but for a period. There is a restraining Spirit, Who, as The Almighty has no interest in retaliation. If not for Him, the story would have changed long long ago. Even now, many are menacingly loosing their patience and tolerance for a so called religion that murders their parents, siblings, spouses, children, friends, and families. If you as a human decide to always take without giving, soon, you shall surely be PLUDERED as well. YES!!All the other religions seem to be silent. This should rather be of major concern to those hell-bound murderers, rather than seeing it as a sign of victory. All it will take would be just one declaration, and then.....(Central African Republic???)

If you hate Blasphemy, Don't blaspheme
If you hate to be insulted, don't insult.
If you kill today, you will be the next target tomorrow.

Glory to The Eternal Prince of Peace. He does not want any of those murderers in hell, even though they willingly rush to hell almost everyday.
The Kingdom of this world has become the Kingdom of our God and of His Christ, and He shall reign for ever and ever. No man can by any means take from Him that which is His.
Coram Deo.

It is highly irresponsible for Ghanaweb to allow this Nigerian issues on religion to be published here. Christians and Muslims in this country have been living peacefully. What is our business in Nigerian affairs? i am very disappointed in Ghnaaweb. At a time when the peace council has identified the media as the potential threat to Ghana's security this will not let's be cautious. it is unfortunate

Quran 65:4 reads " And ( as for ) those of your women who have despaired of menstruation, if you have a doubt, their prescribed time shall be three months, and of those too who have not had their courses; and ( as for ) the pregnant women, their prescribed time is that they lay down their burden; and whoever is careful of ( his duty to ) Allah He will make easy for him his affair."

This verse says waiting period for pre pubertal girls who have not had any menses is 3 months , does this mean that marriage and sex with pre pubertal girls is allowed in Quran ? So you see that you are ignorant and a big LIAR.

Never forget also that according to the Roman Catholics' Encyclopedia "New Advent", Mary was as young as 12 when she married 99-year old Joseph. This means that she was around 11 when she got pregnant with Jesus.

A religion whose prophet espouse having sex with a donkey if you cannot control yourself is nothing but a false religion with its violent bigots following like lose sheep. This writer has said it all. A religion which takes pride in killing innocent people with glee and thinking they will go and enjoy 25 virgins in death is pure madness. Whose daughters are they going to get in their so-called heaven. The vampire god allah is fake and is the a deceiver if it exist at all.

you can believe in God without any religion which is some people's culture about God.

A well-written article on lslamic violence!

lt is not hard to figure out why violence is ubiquitous in lslam, and why the various sects in lslam become supportive in enforcing mores and norms of the lslamic faith at the expense of the kauffer minority.

Firstly, the failure of Mohammed to partner with Christ, and learn of Christ as God (Matthew 11:28-30) resulted in a graceless, and immoral people who are proud ( self-dependent) with the self- achieved righteousness of their master, Mohammed who inherited prelslamiic faith of the Quraysh tribe. Thus Mohammed created a religion and followers who were totally unfit to stand before GOD in judgement --a people in bondage to sin, and its hostility to the church ( Genesis 3 :15).

Secondly, is the identity of the "God" of Mohammed. A choice of an idol in divine garb could only result in a religion controlled by Satan. Mohammed's religion was in existence long before his father, Abdullah--slave of Allah-- was born. History tells us Mohammed destroyed the numerous idols of the prelslamic arabs in Mecca, and kept only Allah as the monotheistic god, as well as all the festivals and rituals of the prelslamic arabs.

Unlike lslam, Christians accept Jesus as their personal Savior from sin, who dispels demons and sin in their personal will, and and they in turn, depend on the earned meritorious rightousmess of their elder Brother, Christ, to free them from the penalty of sin, the power of sin, and give them a living hope of God, to free them very presence of sin in the hereafter when Satan is destroyed--this is grace. "If the Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed."

Thirdly, is the question : where are the founders of religions?
Aren't they waiting in their graves to be ressurected by Jesus? (John chpt 11; 1Corinthians 15:51-53).

May God give give us the grace of a clear and power of mind to make the right choice to follow him!

Igwe, sounds so academic in his piece but you should realise that the belief of muslims go beyond only our prohet we only belief in all the prophets which you ignorantly or deliberately failed to mention.
Even your ordinary father who gave birth to you by the grace of Allah when insulted you would not take it easy with whoever did that. Infact, you have not only displayed your gangantuan lack of feelings for other peoples sensibilities but open the gates for other idiots of your kind to to wade into this issues by exhibiting equal foolishness if not more. Yes Allah will protect his religion but it does not mean that any bastard should say anything amount the revered prohet of Allah and well meaning muslims would shut up simply because we do not have mouths to speak that would not happen. We muslims equally condemn fundamentalism because acts like that of Bokoharam know no boudaries.
You need to be circumspect in future.

CAIRO – Millions of Muslims will celebrate the beginning of the holy fasting month of Ramadan on Monday, June 6, following announcement that the new moon was sighted on Sunday.

“Tomorrow is the beginning of the holy month of Ramadan,” the Saudi Arabia Supreme Court reportedly said.

Egypt’s Iftaa House said the new moon of Ramadan was sighted Sunday, June 5.

“Therefore, Monday, June 6, will be the first day of Ramadan.”

A similar announcement was made by the UAE’s Moon Sighting Committee and other gulf states.

Jordan, Palestine and Yemen also confirmed that the holy month will start on Monday.

Other Muslim countries, mainly in Asia, confirmed that the moon was sighted earlier today

Well, Mr. author, I share your sentiments on the principles of free speech, free taught and free inquiry. However, if these principles are only tested on one particular religion at all times, am afraid it ceases tobe one of genuine and normal practice. Unfortunately, the issue of religious blasphemies in our times is pointed consistently one one religion. The question is why are all the blasphemies targeted on Prophet Mohammed (S.A.W.)? I am yet see or hear one on Prophet Issah (Jesus) who is so called Lord of christions. Muslims do not say anything blasphemous of Jesus. Could this be the reason why we have not seen violent reactions from our Christian brothers. This because we equally and definitely have Christian extremies and I certainly believe that if provoked by constantly abusing their faith , there will be similar reactions from Christian extremies.

I do not subcribe to violent reactios from muslims. However, we are humanbeings subject to reflex reactions and for this reason, we all have equal responsibility to prevent violents, whether is physical or verbal.
One thing that is clear, is for all of us to move away from hypocricy in our lives and call a spade a spade. If you have fore knowledge of how somebody will react to a stimuli, why will any right thinking person trigger it?
For me the problem is not muslim extremies, the problem is intorelants from Christian extremies who cannot accept others who do not subcribe to the strange position that Jesus is Lord and should be woshiped intead of Jesus's own maker (Allah or what Christian called Father).

In conclusion, Christian extremies shoud stop targeting Prophet Mohammed and constantly abusing him with the least provocation because the reason why we don't have reactions from Christian extremies because the muslime are tolerant of Jesus Christ, respect him, and recognize him as a true prophet.

Can our Christian counterparts atleast let prophet Mohammed be even if they don't believe in his religion?

The only formular for peace is tolerance. Unfortunately Christians are not tolerant of Prophet Mohammed (A.S)and therefore subject him to all kinds of abuse with cartoons, blasphemies etc. when this happens the muslims merely being human will not be tolerant of accepting the constant abuse of their faith. They resort to violent reactions because they will not and cannot pay by abusing Jesus because they respect him, so thet rather deal with any one who insult them.

Much as we call on muslimes to stop the violent reactions, Christians should be made be more tolerant and stop the unnecessary and unprovoked triggers of violents, simple.

If there is no action, there will not be reaction, physical or verbal.

Christians are sensible enough not to kill a living human being for the sake of a cartoon of a man who died almost 1300 years ago. That is the difference between them and the bunch of ignorant farts who call themselves moslems. Think!

This is exactly what the point am making, INTOLERANCE. I have not even insulted Jesus and you are burning inside out of your skin. What will be your reaction if were to insult Jesus? your god. I am sure you will not hesitate to pounce on me if see me with these your 'colo colo' eyes. This is evidence that some one like will kill people like us who are just making a point.
Remember Jesus is not for Christians. Infact he will come back and deny Christians for ascribing to him, a title that is not his, for twisting his teachings to suit western interest which most fail to learn and for producing different types of Bibles each with different contents.

Talking about age, do you know the number of years NORWAH, ABRAIHAM, ABRAHIM before Jesus (Your idea about God) was born? THINK!!!! Don't allow this level of ignorance, it can reduce you to a cow.

You are now demonstrating more of an idiot than I do. Perhaps you are more like a fool and uncivilised because your post shows the kind of person you are.
