My brother I will please refer you to Arabic invasion in the north of Africa or Mongols in India. It wasn't what you said but fight and kill. Either you submit or you are killed. Even in right there in Saudi Arabia people who disagree with your prophet were killed and the Jews were made to pay taxes so do not mistake Arabs intelligence and their culture as at that time with Islam cos Islam was spread with sword

Hi Guys, God is God of love. He is all powerful and does not need human beings to kill to spread his WORD. That is what our Muslim friends do not understand. He spoke and the universe came into existence. You will kill all these people but when you meet GOD your Maker, he will tell you, "Depart from Me you evil doers. Let them know that you do not spread Islam but you spread CHRIST the lamb of GOD.

My brother I mean no offence but pls you remember even after the death of the prophet. Two main groups rose up namely Sunni and Shites cos of poor succession plan. History tell us that those who succeeded the prophet were murdered when praying in Mecca and medina and those guys were Muslims. Remember at that time there wasn't any America to oppress the Arabs. So what are we talking. Sunnis and Shites have been at each others throat since that time. Look at the pronouncements of Ayatolah Khamnei, doesn't sound to you he is an American but its clear against Sunni Saudi Arabia. Most of the mosques bombed by ISIL in the Saudi are Shites mosques. The same is seen by yameni rebels against Sunni mosques. So the problem is fundamentally the religion. President Sisi has continuously said unless you review your doctrines and those you lift as holy done by the prophet( paraphrase his words) you will continue to have people killing in the religion. Make no mistake as they re not Muslims cos Isil leader Baghdadi has PhD in Islam related courses and known well known devotee Muslim.

We are no history buffs, nor will we pretend to be.
Columnist Gimba Kakanda's essay is about today.
It is a critical self-analysis of that faith that we never hear, or read about.
This is a powerful, but pithy, message for all people of that faith, and for the World.
It a prime message, ready for officials in Saudi Arabia, too.
For them, they must examine themselves!
The latest bombings, "in Mecca of all places", as most of the faith will say, suggests to us Saudi Arabia, (and Iran) need radical, people-centered approaches to governance.
We declare: This essay by Gimba Kakanda easily fits "Essay of the Week", in our books.
But, of course, it is early in the week!
Kudos to Gimba Kakanda!

There are verses that teach or encourage violence all over the place in the bible too. In fact in the bible god's people ("believers") were ordered to fight and kill nonbelievers and rape their women. Both Judaism and Christianity engaged in brutal and barbaric wars for thousands and hundreds of years respectively before Mohammed was even born. Christianity started its wars in the 4th century and Mohammed was not born until in the 6th (century). Just to give you a little clue as to which of these religions fought everywhere it went when it was spreading: when the Muslims came to spread Islam in Africa did they fight the indigenous peoples everywhere they went in Africa? They certainly did not fight us in Ghana, they didn't fight the peoples of South Africa, and so many places in Africa, and they were the first to come to all these places ahead of their Christian counterparts. But what happened when the white came as Christian missionaries (to spread Christianity)? They fought the indigenous people everywhere they went in Africa. The truth is many Christians, especially in Africa, don't know the true history of Christianity (that it is rather Christianity that spread through bloody wars).

The trouble with Islam is much deeper than you wished here. Christians are excommunicated on daily basis but u hardly hear about Christian suicide bombers or terrorists. This is because they are thought to love and value life. You on the other hand teach your youth to hate and if possible kill non Muslims whom you consider enemies. So, when you excommunicate them, they view you as enemies and apply the same prescription. Every conflict on earth today has to do with Islam. What a shame e for a religion

Many Christians engage in bombing abortion clinics, while scouting the homes of abortion doctors an killing them, all in the name of Christianity. If you are not aware, the Palestinian/Israeli conflict is still waging because so-called conservative Christians in the USA have prevailed on their government to not allow any peace agreement, fearing that Jerusalem will slip away from Christian control and into Palestinian /Muslim hands. Christians in America were watching with glee decades ago when black Americans were being lynched. Had the conservative Christians not encouraged Bush and Chaney to invade Iraq under the pretext of removing an "evil" Sadam, the world would not be in the chaos that is in today. Had the CIA not sat next to Osama bin Laden in the mountains of Afghanistan and help train him and his men in the fight against the Russians who were supporting the then government of Afghanistan, we probably would not have seen the happening of 9/11. Both Muslims and Christians have their dark sides as well as their bright sides.

The glaringing problem with Islam is, it is control by uneducated people. these people are thus lack understanding, morals and utterly lazy coupled with greedy. They want to stay relevant at all cost so they are rigit to their dogma believes and steadfast against any changes. In this day of advanced tech that predicts every eclips in atleast next 10 years with exceptional acuracy and yet still moslems cannot capitalize on that to have uniform day to end their Ramadan. Shallow bunch and the want to impose their will on humanity?

This writer Gimba I do hope he is a sincere muslim. Only Allah knows. Such so called essays by supposedly muslims are amuntitions to the enemies of Islam. A wrong deed should be corrected in a family behind closed doors and not presenting the most truthful Religion of Islam als a prey to our enemies. You seem to underrate the vicious and malicous intentions of enemies of Islam. Allah will defend his and our religion of Islam. Ameen. Salam.

Komla, don't bring in your tradition of secrecy to kill people in this religion. Islam is not a secret religion to be treated in secrecy, you might not belong there because you love your tradition more than the religion. If Islam deals in secrecy these terrorists will never come out to claim responsibility in what they do and secrecy is the work of a coward but muslims are not cowards.

There is one thing writing an article and another thing is having the knowledge and the facts of what you are writing. Before one write anything about terrorism, which is a broad base topic he must first of all have the following at hand: the origin, causes, and solutions. An article on this topic base on personal emotion don't make sense.

Islam is a fable like every religion. If Judaism, and Christianity never existed, then Islam would have never been fabricated from the imagination of Middle Eastern warlord WHO DID SPREAD ISLAM WITH VIOLENCE. The conquered Abrahamic faiths were allowed to pay a tax as tribute. All others, Hindus, Buddhists, Pagans, were either forced to convert, become slaves, or die in battle. Look no further then the estimated 80 million people in lower Asia that perished or were enslaved in a massive long running genocide.
Half of the fables in the Qur'an rely on the fiction in the Bible. There would be no such holy book even if Muhammad tried to create Islam 1 billion times.
By the way it is not ISIS, Al Qaeda or Wahabism that is reading the Qur'an, and Hadiths upside down. They are following the example that the evil Muhammad had lived by according to the written letter of those books.
They are not the radicals of Islam. The true radicals of Islam are the liberal Muslims that wish the violence ORDERED against all unbelievers wasn't written into their religion.
