•10 killed as Fulani herdsmen sack village
•Over 5,000 residents displaced
From ABDULLAHI SHUAIBU, Lafia
No fewer than10 people were reported killed in Agbashi, Ekya Development Area of Nasarawa State in a renewed clash between the people of the area and Fulani herdsmen. The people of Agbashi deserted their village, as Fulani herdsmen attacked the village in the early hours of yesterday killing 10 and, leaving several others with injuries.
Over 5, 000 residents were displaced. When Daily Sun visited the area, it was gathered that the attack was a repraisal by the Fulani for the killing last week of their kinsmen. It was also gathered that many of the villagers had run for dear lifeto nearby towns like Doma, Lafia and Makurdi, the Benue State capital. The victims of the incident who were mostly women, children and the aged trekked several kilometers into their safety.
Speaking to Daily Sun, a resident of the area who did not want his name in print said he could not ascertain the number of people killed in the crisis, but comfirmed that one of his sisters was in a serious condition, as the attackers macheted her to the point of death, and that half of the village was razed down by the attackers. In a related development, the people of Araho and Kawo in Doma Local Government Area of Nasarawa State deserted their villages yesterday for fear of repraisal attack from soldiers.
Daily Sun investigation revealed that there was attacks on the two villages and the soldiers who were deployed to maintain peace mounted barricade to prevent attackers from invading the community, but the villagers mistakenly attacked the soldiers, and wounded their leader, a captain (name withheld) and is presently receiving treatment at the Dalhatu Araf Specialist Hospital, Lafia. The villagers deserted their villages after the attack for fear of reprisal by soldiers.
When Daily Sun visited Specialist Hospital, Lafia yesterday security men refused the reporter. Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), Michael Adah could not be reached for comments on the matter.
Fulani beasts at it aqain..may dia land continue to boil in jesus name
Fulaniiiiiiiiiiii Poweraaaaaaaa, people should never complain when fulani herdsmen strike. The best thing people should do is locate Gowon and join him in his hypocritical prayer. Fulani herdsmen are killing in the spirit of One NIGERIA and Indivisible north. Gowon is completely aware of it and that is why he is not complaining nor bothered.
Stop blaming Gowon for this uncivilised behaviour from the fulanis, rather condemn their dastardly acts, cos ur brothers might be among the victims or next ones should the crises persist. Remember Igbos are everywhere in Nigeria. Those who lived in glass houses are not expected to throw stones. May God cleance us from our tribalistic behaviours. Amen.
Idiot, who told you he is Igbo?
thank you
If the only thing u have to say here is idiot, it means u are not supposed to be a member of this forum and i think u are a jejune. Quite my friend if u dont have what to say.
Shut up idiot,we cannot be blackmailed by Igbos living everywhere in Nigeria,we don’t care what happens next as long as this evil country is destroyed.You fought for one nigeria,is that what you have today?
We are praying for extreme incident that will move our people back home,our place is far better than these arid lands that our people are living and developing.No one can make us love this country are fathers rejected ,fought against and lost over 5million of our people,any Igbo person that wish nigeria good must be a bastard,we are eternally against this country and we must get the state of BIAFRA irrespective of the prize today and in the near future.
My brother, stop ranting, ur so-called biafra warlord Ojukwu could not achieved the goal he set that triggered the war. However, when his WILL was read, it was discovered that he had a hotel at Zaria. Now the question is; did he built the hotel before or after civil war. And, if the North was’nt good for his liking, he should have jettisoned the idea in the first place. The point i want to make here is that; all Nigeria’s regions need one another to survive. Ponder what u have written so far in this forum.
Fulani are devils children,
Message to Southern States, do not allow the Fulani’s to live with you, they are devil’s property
A word is enough for the wise.
I have not seen people as heartless as the Fulanis. Just look at Buhari, Boko Haram patron, as heartless as a beast. Always instigating blood sheed.
You are the beast! Who told you General Buhari had anything to do with Boko Haram. Take your hatred elsewhere. No leader alive today loves Nigeria more than Buhari does. Besides the story here clearly states that the fulanis made a reprisal attack. Nobody has condemned the initial killing of the fulani. What is good for the goose should be good for the gander. We must always be objective! A life is a life! Is Obasanjo a fulani man when he killed so many in Zakibiam and Udi ? Buhari has never harmed any group of people, rather he fights corruption. So if you are corrupt you will hate Buhari. The anti-nigeria are the corrupt ones, get out and say the truth, for the truth will set you free.
Looking at these beast of humans remind one of what the British colonial masters did to nigeria. Otherwise northern nigeria would have meshed with their brethren in Chad, Niger and elsewhere, there is hardly anything linking the barbaric North, and the more civilized South. Isn’t time we finally severe this ungodly relationship.
Did you say more civilized south! What an irony. Were the killers of ALUU – 4 the Fulanis ? The kidnappers in the south, are they northerners? We security issues all over Nigeria, we must blame those who steal security votes and leave the military and paramilitary handicap. I am a true Nigerian. Shone sectionalism ! Embrace patriotism!
Why are fulani’s so heartless. I thought we are one Nigeria. Ogbu nma gala na nma one day oooooooooooooooooooo !!
I will kill again January 15, 2013 at 6:13 am
Most Muslims believe: “Islam would never support killing innocent people. Allah of Holy Quran never advocated killings. This is all the work of a few misguided individuals. The real Islam is sanctified against violence. Islam means peace. Islam means tolerance.”
But is it true? Does Islam really preach peace, tolerance and non-violence? Those Muslims who perpetrate crimes in the name of Allah think differently. They believe that what they do is a Jihad (holy war). They say that killing the unbelievers is mandatory for every Muslim. They do not kill because they break the laws of Islam but because they think this is what a true Muslim should do. Those who blow up their own bodies to kill more innocent people do so because they think they will be rewarded in Paradise. They hope to be blessed by Allah, eat celestial food, drink pure wine and enjoy the company of divine consorts.
Are they completely misguided? Where did they get this distorted idea? How did they come to believe that killing innocent people pleases God? Or is it that we are misguided? Does Islam really preach violence? Does it call upon its believers to kill the “non-believers” ? We denounce those who commit acts of violence and call them extremists. But are they really extremists or do they actually do what the Holy book of Quran tells them to do? What does the Quran really teach? Have we read the Quran? Do we know what kind of teachings are there? Let us go through some of them and take a closer look at what Allah says.
What Qur’an Teaches:
Quran tells us to: “not to make friends with Jews and Christians” (5:51), fight them “until they pay the Jizya (a penalty tax for the non-Muslims living under Islamic rules) with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued” ( 9:29). “kill the disbelievers wherever we find them” (2:191), “murder them and treat them harshly” (9:123), “fight and slay the Pagans, seize them, beleaguer them, and lie in wait for them in every stratagem” ( 9:5).
Quran says that all those who disbelieve in Islam go to hell (5:10), they are najis (filthy, untouchable, impure) (9:28), and orders us to fight the unbelievers until no other religion except Islam is left (2:193). It prohibits a Muslim to befriend a non-believer even if that non-believer is the father or the brother of that Muslim (9:23), (3:28).
It says that the “non-believers will go to hell and will drink boiling water” (14:17). It asks the Muslims to “slay or crucify or cut the hands and feet of the unbelievers, that they be expelled from the land with disgrace and that they shall have great punishment in the world hereafter” (5:34). And tells us that “for them (the unbelievers) garments of fire shall be cut and there shall be poured over their heads boiling water whereby whatever is in their bowels and skin shall be dissolved and they will be punished with hooked iron rods” (22:19-22) and that they not only will have “disgrace in this life, on the Day of Judgment He shall make them taste the Penalty of burning (Fire)” (22:9).
Quran says that “those who invoke a god other than Allah not only should meet punishment in this world but the Penalty on the Day of Judgment will be doubled to them, and they will dwell therein in ignominy” (25:68). For those who “believe not in Allah and His Messenger, He has prepared, for those who reject Allah, a Blazing Fire!” (48:13).
As for him who does not believe in Islam the Prophet says that after he dies it will be announced with a “stern command”: “Seize ye him, and bind ye him, And burn ye him in the Blazing Fire. Further, make him march in a chain, whereof the length is seventy cubits! This was he that would not believe in Allah Most High. And would not encourage the feeding of the indigent! So no friend hath he here this Day. Nor hath he any food except the corruption from the washing of wounds, Which none do eat but those in sin.” (69:30-37)
The holy Prophet prescribes fighting for us and tells us that “it is good for us even if we dislike it” (2:216). Then he advises us to “strike off the heads of the disbelievers”; and after making a “wide slaughter among them, carefully tie up the remaining captives” (47:4). Our God has promised to “instill terror into the hearts of the unbelievers” and has ordered us to “smite above their necks and smite all their finger-tips off them” (8:12). and “to strike terror into (the hearts of the enemies” (8:60).
He has made the Jihad mandatory and warns us that “Unless we go forth, (for Jihad) He will punish us with a grievous penalty, and put others in our place” (9:39). Allah speaks to our Holy Prophet and says “O Prophet! strive hard against the unbelievers and the Hypocrites, and be stern against them. Their abode is Hell,- an evil refuge indeed” (9:73).
He promises us that in the fight for His cause whether we slay or are slain we return to the garden of Paradise (9:111). In Paradise he will “wed us with Houris (celestial virgins) pure beautiful ones” (56:54), and unite us with large-eyed beautiful ones while we recline on our thrones set in lines (56:20). There we are promised to eat and drink pleasantly for what we did (56:19). And have sex with “boys like hidden pearls” (56:24) and “youth never altering in age like scattered pearls” (76:19)
As you see, Allah has promised all sorts of rewards, gluttony and unlimited sex to Muslim men who kill the unbelievers in his name, not forgetting even those with pedophilic inclinations. We will be admitted to Paradise where we shall find “goodly things, beautiful ones, pure ones confined to the pavilions that man has not touched them before nor jinni” (56:67-71).
In the West we enjoy freedom of belief but we are not supposed to give such freedom to anyone else because it is written “If anyone desires a religion other than Islam (submission to Allah), never will it be accepted of him; and in the Hereafter He will be in the ranks of those who have lost (all spiritual good) (3:85).
As for women, the book of Allah says that they are inferior to men and their husbands have the right to scourge them if they are found disobedient (4:34). It advises men to take a green branch and beat their wives, because a green branch is more flexible and hurts more. (38:44). It teaches that women will go to hell if they are disobedient to their husbands (66:10). It maintains that men have an advantage over the women (2:228). It not only denies the women’s equal rights, it decrees that their witness is not admissible in the courts of law (2:282). This means that a woman who is raped cannot accuse her rapist unless she can produce a male witness. Our Holy Prophet allows us to marry up to four wives and he licensed us to sleep with our slave maids and as many ‘captive’ women as we may have (4:3) even if those women are already married. He himself did just that.
[A word of warning for those who may find their version of Quran is translated differently from those appearing in this article: Almost all the translators of Quran have deliberately tried to soften the harsh verses of Quran. Yusufali especially goes out of his way to twists the meaning of the words and hide the harshness of Quran. For example he translates the verse (38:44) that says "take a green branch and beat your wife" as "take a little green grass and strike therewith". Or when he translates the verse (4:34) that says "beat your wife" he cannot help it but to add the word (lightly) in parenthesis.]
Dear fellow Muslim: Is this the Islam you believe in? Is this your Most Merciful, Most Compassionate Allah whom you worship daily? Could God incite us to kill other peoples? Please understand that there is no terrorist gene but there could be a terrorist mindset. That mindset finds its most fertile ground in the tenets of Islam. Denying it and presenting Islam as a religion of peace similar to Buddhism to the lay public is suppression of truth. The history of Islam between 7th and 14th century is riddled with violence, fratricide and wars of aggression, starting right from the death of the Prophet and during the so-called ‘pure’ or orthodox caliphate. And Muhammad himself hoisted the standard of killing, looting, massacres and bloodshed. How can we deny the entire history? The behavior of our Holy Prophet as recorded in authentic Islamic sources is quite questionable from a modern viewpoint. The Prophet was a charismatic man but he had few virtues. Imitating him in all aspects of life (following Sunnah) is firstly impossible and secondly dangerous in the 21st century. Why are we so helplessly in denial on this simple issue?
When the Prophet was in Mecca and he was still not powerful enough he called for tolerance. He said “To you be your religion, and to me my religion” (109:6). This famous quote is often misused to prove that the general principle of Quran is tolerance. He advised his follower to speak good to their enemies (2:83), exhorted them to be patient (Q. 20:103) and said that “there is no compulsion in religion” (2:256). But all that changed drastically when he came to power. Then killing and slaying the unbelievers was justified in innumerable verses with harshness and without mercy. The verses quoted to prove Islam’s tolerance ignore many other verses that bear no trace of tolerance or forgiveness. Is it normal that a book revealed by God should have so many serious contradictions?
The Prophet himself set the example of unleashing violence by invading the Jewish settlements breaking the treaties he had signed with them and banished some of them after confiscating their belongings massacring others and taking their wives and children as slaves. He inspected the youngsters and massacred all those who had pubic hair along with the men and those who were younger he kept as slaves. He distributed the women captured in his raids among his soldiers keeping the prettiest for himself (33:50). He made sexual advances on Safiyah a Jewish girl in the same day he captured her town, Kheibar, and killed her father, husband and many of her relatives. Reyhana was another Jewish girl of Bani Quraiza whom he used as sex slave after killing all her male relatives. In the last ten years of his life he accumulated a score of wives, concubines and sex slaves including the 9 year old Ayesha.
These are not stories but records from authentic Islamic history and the Hadiths. It can be argued that these behaviors were not unknown or unusual for the conquerors and leaders of the mediaeval world but these are not the activities befitting of a peaceful saint and certainly not of someone who claimed to be the Mercy of God for all the creation.
There were known assassinations of adversaries during the Prophet’s time, that took place at his behest. Among them there was a 120 year old man, Abu ‘Afak whose only crime was to compose a lyric satirical of the Prophet. (Kitab al Tabaqat al Kabir, Volume 2, by Bin Sa’d, page 32) Then when a poetess, a mother of 5 small children, ‘Asma’ Bint Marwan, wrote a poetry cursing the Arabs for letting Muhammad assassinate an old man, our Holy Prophet ordered her to be assassinated too in the middle of the night, which was carried out while her youngest child was suckling from her breast. (Sirat Rasul Allah (A. Guilaume’s translation “The Life of Muhammad”) page 675, 676).
Dear conscientious Muslims: Question yourselves- isn’t this compulsive dogma of following a man who lived 1400 years ago, leading us to doom in this changing world? Who are we deceiving? See how our Umma (people) have sunk into poverty and how we lag behind the rest of the world? Isn’t it because we are following a religion that is outdated and impractical? In this crucial moment of history, when a great catastrophe has befallen us and a much bigger one is lying ahead, should not we wake up from our 1400 years of slumber and see where things have gone wrong?
The hatred has filled the air and the world is bracing itself for its doomsday. Should we not ask ourselves whether we have contributed, unwittingly, to this tragedy and whether we can stop the great disaster from happening?
Unfortunately the answer to the first question is yes. Yes, we have contributed to the rise of fundamentalism by merely claiming Islam is a religion of peace, by simply being a Muslim and by saying our shahada (testimony that Allah is the only God and Muhammad is his messenger). By our shahada we have recognized Muhammad as a true messenger of God and his book as the words of God. But as you saw, those words are anything but from God. They call for killing, they are prescriptions for hate and they foment intolerance. And when the ignorant among us read those hate laden verses, they act on them and the result is the infamous September 11, the result is human bombs in Israel, massacres in East Timor and Bangladesh, kidnappings and killings in Philippines, slavery and genocide in Sudan, honor Killings in Pakistan and Jordan, torture in Iran, stoning and maiming in Afghanistan and Iran, violence in Algeria, terrorism in Palestine and misery and death in all Islamic countries. We are responsible because we endorsed Islam and hailed it as a religion of God. And we are as guilty as those who put into practice what Quran preaches and ironically we are the main victims too.
If we are not terrorists, if we love peace, if we cried with the rest of the world for what happened in NYC, then why are we supporting Quran that preaches killing, that advocates holy war, that calls for murder of non-Muslims? It is not the extremists who have misunderstood Islam. They do literally what Quran ask them to do. It is we who misunderstand Islam. We are the ones who are confused. We are the ones who wrongly assume that Islam is the religion of peace. Islam is not a religion of peace. In its so-called pure form it can very well be interpreted as a doctrine of hate. Terrorists are simply doing that and we the intellectual apologists of Islam are justifying it.
We can stop this madness. Yes we can avert the disaster that is hovering over our heads. Yes we can denounce the doctrines that promote hate. Yes we can embrace the rest of humanity with love. Yes, we can become part of a united world, members of one human family, flowers of one garden. We can dump the claim of infallibility of our Book and the questionable legacy of our Prophet.
Dear friends, there is no time to waste. Let us put an end to this lie. Let us not fool ourselves. Islam is not a religion of peace, of tolerance, of equality or of unity of humankind. Let us read the Quran. Let us face the truth even if it is painful. As long as we keep this lie alive, as long as we hide our head in the sands of Arabia we are feeding terrorism. As long as you and I keep calling Quran the unchangeable book of God, we cannot blame those who follow the teachings therein. As long as we pay our Khums and Zakat our money goes to promote Islamic expansionism and that means terrorism, Jihad and war.
Islam divides the world in two parts: Darul Harb (land of war) and Darul Islam (land of Islam). Darul Harb is the land of the infidels, Muslims are required to infiltrate those lands, proselytize and procreate until their number increase and then start the war and fight and kill the people and impose the religion of Islam on them and convert that land into Darul Islam.
In all fairness we denounce this betrayal. This is an abuse of trust. How can we make war in the countries that have sheltered us? How can we kill those who have befriended us? Yet willingly or unwillingly we have become pawns in this Islamic Imperialism. If this sound to you abhorrent, we ask you how can you support a doctrine that is so deceiving, so cunning and so ruthless? Let us see what great Islamic scholars have to say in this respect.
Dr. M. Khan, the translator of Sahih Bukhari and the Quran into English wrote: “Allah revealed in Sura Bara’at (Repentance, IX) the order to discard (all) obligations (covenants, etc), and commanded the Muslims to fight against all the Pagans as well as against the people of the Scriptures (Jews and Christians) if they do not embrace Islam, till they pay the Jizia (a tax levied on the Jews and Christians) with willing submission and feel themselves subdued (as it is revealed in (9:29). So the Muslims were not permitted to abandon “the fighting” against them (Pagans, Jews and Christians) and to reconcile with them and to suspend hostilities against them for an unlimited period while they are STRONG and have the ability to fight against them. So at first “the fighting” was forbidden, then it was permitted, and after that it was made obligatory “[Introduction to English
translation of Sahih Bukhari, p.xxiv.]
Dr. Sobhy as-Saleh, a contemporary Islamic academician, quoted Imam Suyuti the author of Itqan Fi ‘Ulum al- Qur’an who wrote: ?The command to fight the infidels was DELAYED UNTIL THE MUSLIMS BECOME STRONG, but when they were weak they were commanded to endure and be patient. [ Sobhy as_Saleh, Mabaheth Fi 'Ulum al- Qur'an, Dar al-'Ilm Lel-Malayeen, Beirut, 1983, p.269.]
Dr. Sobhy, in a footnote, commends the opinion of a scholar named Zarkashi who said: “Allah the most high and wise revealed to Mohammad in his weak condition what suited the situation, because of his mercy to him and his followers. For if He gave them the command to fight while they were weak it would have been embarrassing and most difficult, but when the most high made Islam victorious He commanded him with what suited the situation, that is asking the people of the Book to become Muslims or to pay the levied tax, and the infidels to become Muslims or face death. These two options, to fight or to have peace return according to the strength or the weakness of the Muslims.” [ibid p. 270]
Other Islamic scholars (Ibn Hazm al-Andalusi, Ga’far ar-Razi, Rabi’ Ibn ‘Ons, ‘Abil-’Aliyah, Abd ar-Rahman Ibn Zayd Ibn ‘Aslam, etc.) agree that the verse “Slay the idolaters wherever you find them” (9:5) cancelled those few earlier verses that called for tolerance in Quran and were revealed when Islam was weak.
Can you still say that Islam is the religion of peace?
Conclusion:
We know too well that it is not easy to denounce our faith as it means denouncing a part of ourselves. We are a group of freethinkers and humanists with Islamic roots. Discovering the truth and leaving the religion of our fathers and forefathers was a painful experience. But after learning what Islam stands for, we had no choice but to leave it. After becoming familiar with the Quran, the choice became clear: it is either Islam or it is humanity. If Islam is to thrive, humanity has to die. We decided to side with humanity. We are still Muslims culturally but we no more believe in Islam as the true religion of God. We are humanists. We love humanity. We endeavor for the unity of humankind. We work for equality between men and women. We strive for secularization of Islamic countries, for democracy and freedom of thoughts, beliefs and expressions We have decided not to live anymore in self-deception but to embrace humanity, enter into the new millennium hand in hand with people or other cultures and beliefs in amity and in peace. We denounce the violence that is eulogized in Quran as holy war (Jihad). We condemn killing in the name of God. We believe in sacredness of human life, not in the inviolability of beliefs and religions. And we invite you to join us and the rest of the humanity and be part of the family of humankind with love, camaraderie and peace.

Allah the moon god
My main body of work has focused on the origins of religious ideology dating back thousands of years. For the past several millennia, there have been two main religious groups predominant in much of the world: One that significantly represents sun worship, and another that revolves largely around moon worship.
As I demonstrate in my books, the main solar religions/cults thriving today are Christianity, Hinduism and Buddhism, while Judaism and Islam are lunar. (Buddhism follows a largely lunar calendar, but its main character and many of its doctrines and traditions are solar.) I have brought forth thousands of pages of serious, well-documented research to support these contentions of a nature-worshipping or astrotheological origin of much religious thought in currency from antiquity to today.
Although Islam is presented as a “new, divine revelation” straight from God, in reality many of its tenets and traditions – as well as some of its main characters – possess lunar characteristics and attributes. Many millions of people are familiar with the Islamic logo of the crescent moon and star, a prominent and obvious reflection of Islam’s lunar origins and aspects. Why did Islam’s creators and shapers decide upon such a blatant symbol of moon worship and astrotheology? (The term “astrotheology” represents the reverence for and worship of the celestial bodies, including sun, moon, planets, stars and constellations found around the world for thousands of years.)
Allah as moon god
Over the centuries, there has been a huge debate within the field of Islamic studies about the nature of the Koranic god, Allah. In the Koran/Quran, Allah is depicted as speaking repeatedly and directly to Mohammed, revealing that “he” has a distinct personality, even though Muslims may claim him to be an aloof and “pure” spirit. Moreover, it is contended that this god was simply one of many in pre-Islamic Pagan Arab culture, appearing in a pantheon, for example, in the shrine at Mecca, which, it is alleged, was established by the biblical patriarch Abraham. Abraham himself can be shown to have astrotheological underpinnings, but that is another story.
In any event, it is claimed by a number of scholars that Allah was a moon god – indeed, according to some “he” was Allat, the moon goddess:
“[Allah:] Late Islamic masculinization of the Arabian Goddess, Al-Lat or Al-Ilat – the Allatu of the Babylonians–formerly worshipped at the Kaaba in Mecca. It has been shown that ‘the Allah of Islam’ was a male transformation of ‘the primitive lunar deity of Arabia.’ Her ancient symbol the crescent moon still appears on Islamic flags, even though modern Moslems no longer admit any feminine symbolism whatever connected with the wholly patriarchal Allah.”
The contention of Allah as originally a Pagan moon god has been hotly debated, with the total denial of such a notion by Muslim apologists, who redirect our attention to the fact that in the Koran Allah is depicted as the creator of the moon, rather than the lunar orb itself. Another fact will remain, however, that such a distinction is often made even within patently obvious astrotheological religions such as the sun-worshipping cults of old: In the solar religions, the god (or goddess) is both the solar disc and the power behind it.
Ditto with lunar cults, such as within the Egyptian religion, as concerns Osiris, who is lunar, representing the light in the moon, as well as the night sun, the Nile, water and so on. Yet, he is also the life and power behind all natural phenomena, just like so many other deities, including those of the Jewish and Arab tribes, i.e., Yahweh and Allah respectively. In this regard, then, Allah is little different from these other gods.
What all of this exploration reveals is that “Allah” as depicted in the Koran is not the God of the cosmos but yet another cultural artifact – one of thousands of deities from around the world – created this time through the minds of not Chinese people, not Indians or Europeans but Arabs of the 7th century, fierce desert dwellers living in primitive conditions.
Islam is a lunar cult
Among many other evidences that can be put forth as concerns Islam essentially representing a Pagan lunar cult looms largely the Muslim calendar, which is undeniably lunar. As many know, the dates of certain holidays such as Ramadan are dependent on phases of the moon, and some seem to be wholesale readaptations of previous Pagan lunar holidays. One of these pre-Islamic Pagan holidays still celebrated by Muslims may be the observance of Chaand Rat or “Moon Night,” celebrated in 2010 on the new moon of September, the 8th. The astrotheological nature of this fest, which revealed itself nicely to me while I was creating my astrotheology calendar, becomes obvious when one considers that “Chandra” is the name of the Hindu moon god. Factoring in the ubiquitous ancient nature-worshipping religion, logic would dictate that “Chaand Rat” is in reality a remnant of the Pagan moon-worshipping cult.
In the ancient world in several places, a deep schism formed over the millennia between the nomadic, desert lunar cults and settled, agricultural solar cults. The solar cult or “day sky” people established villages, towns and cities based on agricultural knowledge that included the movements of the sun. The lunar/stellar cult or “night sky” people spent much time traveling during the coolness of the night, moving by the stars and following the phases of the moon. Over the thousands of years, these two distinct cultures have clashed mightily.
Long before Islam, desert nomadic, lunar cult/night sky people would hide in the hills and wait until nightfall, thereupon descending into the solar settlements, slaughtering the men, women and children, except for the war booty of virgins, and looting, pillaging and destroying the village. The bloody chronicle of the Old Testament – reflecting the violent, genocidal Israelite conquest and destruction of Canaan – serves as evidence of this brutal and predatory development. One solar settlement after another fell to the stealthy lunar cultists led by Moses, Joshua and others. This night-sky conquering behavior was not only continued into Islamic times but also essentially codified in and validated by the Koran.
Today, the whole world represents the rich, plump and juicy settlement waiting to be invaded, plundered and destroyed by stealthy lunar cultists lurking in the hills. The sooner we all understand these ancient and ongoing dynamics, the better off the world will be.
Here we go! Satanic expository. This is the master piece of the year. More of it please. Islam a Religion of peace? I Will Kill Again, kindly repeat this master piece often not only in The Sun but other newspapers. Many Moslems may lack knowledge of this fact, hence they live and wallow in ignorance of ‘Kill Them and Go To Paradise’.
Very interesting piece. Little wonder Rushdie called Quran “the Holy Book” of Islam Satanic verses and they placed some couple of millions for his head. Truth is bitter and only Truth sets free. Except that these kind of Fulanis will never have the opportunity of knowing the kind of truth you have explained here. And should Iran find you, they will surely place some ransome for your head.
But unfortunately too, you added some pardonable Satanic complications in your attempt to “kill” all the world major “religions” in your piece by calling Christianiy a solar religion. On this I beg to disagree with you. You should have left of Christianity out of this. You missed your research on what Christianity is really all about.
Christianity by every standard is a relationship with a person – the Lord Jesus Christ whom a voice from heaven, obviously God Himself called His Beloved Son at His baptism (Matt 3) and Transfiguration (Matt 17); who Himself claimed to be the Son of God, and by implication God; whom His disciples believed and received as God; and did what only God could do while on earth and acknowledged as God by many religious Jews of His life time, including the respected Jewish Elder, ruler and teacher, Nicodemus (John 3).
Christianity as a “religion” is the worship of God through the living Christ. Christ said He alone is the way the truth and life (Jn 14); and the only answer to the sick world (John 3:14-16). If every person on earth should be like Christ as the Lord Jesus preached (Matt 10:25), there won’t be any need for any police or standing army anywhere in the world, because we would have a violence-free, idolatory-free, illiteracy-free world. Christ condemned all kind of image, solar or lunar worship. Christ said, “I AM THE WAY, THE TRUTH AND THE LIFE. NO MAN CAN COME TO THE FATHER EXCEPT BY ME (John 14:6)
That also destroys any idea of mediumistic worship but establishes CHRISTI as the only ONE CHANNEL TO GOD. not even the law of Moses. The Bible clearly says that there is ONLY ONE God and ONE MEDIATOR between God and man, the man Christ.
Christ is the Wisdom of God. That is why when any animist, butcher, murderer receives Christ he feels sorry for his past deeds all the days of his life. Researchers have also found out that receiving Christ into ones life by faith increases the intelligent quotient. CHRIST IS THE ANSWER. True meaning of Christianity is therefore being like Christ-like not the worship of any kind of nature or astro worship. Christianity does not belong to the category you placed it with Bhudism or Hinduism. That is sacrilege. But is pardonable, because it is only ignorance.
Revisit your research on what Christianity is really all about as you did with your study of Quran and its authorities. You sound very convincing about Islamic doctrine, its interpretation and application because that is exactly the reason for what is happening in many parts of the North. Of course, we all know that God described the nature of these children of Ishmael to their great grandmother, Hagar thus: “…This son of yours will be a wild one — free and untamed as a wild donkey! He will be against everyone, and everyone will be against him. Yes, he will live at odds with the rest of his brothers.” (Gen 16:12, New Living Translation). Unfortunately, this passage of the scripture does not give us any hope of end to violence spread through Abraham and Hagar, having also been entrenched as religion.
May God help you spread the truth the more, but leave Christ and Christianity out of the equation. He alone is the answer to the world’s madness and violence.
I will kill again, u just drop a tacit piece for members of this forum and this is a must read for forum members. They should extend this info to other non-muslims to be weary of this beast, cos they will never spare any non muslim at a slightest provocation.
No wonder muslems most always pray dat d peace and mercy of God b upon muhamed everyday. Bcos of d evil he inventd in d world. If muhamed is truly in heaven 2day den y do u need 2 b praying 4 Gods peace nd mercy upon him. Btwn d muslims nd muhamed who shld need Gods peace nd mercy most. Does smbdy in heaven who is even a messenger of allah need prayer 4rm eathly person 2 enjoy d peace nd mercy of God. Muslims pls think abt dis wit a pure nd sincere mind void of sentiment.

Why are the flani’s soo heartless? Even the muslims self. Infact I can’t tell the type of human being they are!
Those herdsmen are behaving like their animals. Goby should look into their problems before going to Mali.
this is the best article of the century. Now we can see where and why there are so much blood bath and killings in all the arab world today. A mere mortal who woke one morning and proclaimed himself a prophet, at a point where he was weak and a nobody, he preached peace and tolerance as well as peaceful co-existence, only for him to multiply through illicit sex adventures and became power and decided to change the once upon a peaceful and and tolerant religion into a theater of war, blood bath, arson, rape and murder. Am angry by the verses i read above. If you should go a head and kill all the infidels (by your estimation), then who will leave with you, who will practice your religion, obviously you will live in a desert with your fellow cows and rams.
This is a really eye-opener to all those who follow this religion sheepishly without a mindset of their own. A RELIGION THAT PROFESS KILLINGS, RAPE,MURDER, AND INTOLERANCE IS NEVER AND CAN NEVER BE A PEACEFUL RELIGION. gbam
Hmmm wat can i say again concerning this bomb I Will Kill Again droped in this forum but one advice i will give to Muslims in this forum is to have a rethink and choose a better religioun which is Christianity a reilgioun of peace and love.He who have ears let him hear
@ I will kill again, U’ve said it all and he that hv ears let him hear. Thank you very much for the good analysis. God bless u.
@I WILL KILL AGAIN,i’m sure u are an orientalist right ? and a big fool.
Mr bash, inteligent ppl don’t waste their money just to call others fools, what a reasonable muslim -if you are one- will do in a situetion like this is prove mr kill again wrong and not call him a fool. Every one in this forum knows who is a fool between you and mr kill again. I am telling you this because I like you, no matter what you are…
you are the bigger fool
What you said is correct reasons (1) most of the muslim that l have seen, like sex more than their life (2)why have they resufed to translate the qoran into english language?
If what mr kill again said here are correct, then this islamic religion must be the hand work of satan himself and those who are still practicing it are willing tools in the hand of satan or ignorant of what they are doing.
Secondly what is buhari doing or saying now because it was he and other soldiers from the foolani stock who always go to some states in the s.w to defend their cattle brothers when they cause the same problems in those parts
This is the article of the millennium, let every self respecting moslem in Nigeria look himself in the mirror and ask. IS THIS WHAT I WANT TO BE INVOLVED IN?
Phew! This piece should be shared on every social network so that moslems and non-moslems alike will be deeply informed, that way understanding will prevail
The above article has said it all . Primitive ideas continously promoted by primitive people. I’m happy that this country is about to break into pieces so that this animals will remain in their animal kingdom alone.
@I will kill again. Thanks for your incisive writ. Its now I know, you will never kill again. And if you must kill , you will only kill Ignorance, and the monster called Islam.
Northern Nigeria has become the devils abode. It has become the worst place to think of living. Killing and killings at all time. Woe unto the people.
But the foolish aboki people will come out and still make noise. Aboki nama!
The best answer to a fool is to keep silent,i can’t waste my precious time to join issues with a humanist,someone who never believe in the existance of GOD.
I love u dear thank u so mush@i go kill again
@I WIIL KILL AGAIN.If you research on Christianity,you will be convinced that Jesus is the only hope of the world
Last 2monts ago i was in kano in sabon gari there was a aviolence in one bichi l.g.a just becos an igbo man was wearing one cloth with an arabic inscription which he dnt knw the meaning and they killed the man instantly and latter the igbo comunity wanted to protest and it led to more igbos been killed it was horible this pple are nothing but beast there is no difrence between and hausa man and fulani they have intermaried so mush that they are d same thing
Thanks i will kill again!Is Okigwe person in this forum?The way and manner the hausa/fulani are settling along the expressway is alarming.If nothing is done to stop them one day you will wake up and count casualties following their attack on the entire okigwe.They will pretend to be good now until they multiply and become strong.One thing that will convince you of this is that you cannot see them buy land there talkless raising a befitting structure there.
@ The Lord,s B and I WILL KILL AGAIN, thanks so much on your powerful analogies. I haven,t find time to read the Koran even a day but i,m well pleased to make use of these explanations therein, thanks and God bless u all.
Wallahi, plentiful grammar just dey flow here. At the end of the day, we will all go home and soak garri with kulikuli. We burn our energy on unnecessary comments. Lets think of how to move the country forward. I think it will be stupid of a region, at this point in time, to think of secession. Nigeria is a great nation. Lets just think of how to move it forward. And the first step is to stamp out corruption and na-my-brother syndrome.
Why is the Fulani man on the rampage? POLITICS, LAND, RESOURCES.
