Why Should Christians Should Not Kill Muslims?
This world, would be a very nice place if we take away religion and people as pastor Suleiman away from it. But before then, Christians should not kill Muslims as pastor Suleiman urged them to do. Life is so precious. We must protect it.

There is no basis for taking another man's life. The only allowance is if you are trying to protect your own life as natural law dictates.

No one should allow pastors to deceive them to kill fellow Nigerians. All religions, traditions and conventional wisdom forbid murder. The clerics should do the killings by themselves and face the consequences therefrom. In1978, an American pastor Mr Jim Jones deceived his 918 members to commit mass-murder by drinking poison. They did stupidly. And they all died.

These incitement is an overkill as it is ungodly, undemocratic, unlawful, carnal and social anomaly.

1954 -1968 is a throwback in the collective, to the Civil Rights Movement in the USA. Lots of black Americans were murdered by white supremacist in cold blood. Notwithstanding, Reverend Martin Luther King Jr. kept his cool. And advocated for non-violence means. Civil disobedience was his motto during the Civil Rights Movement till the end. And years after, he won a Nobel Prize for peace.

Pastor Suleiman should stop playing God. The Bible clearly states that (thou shall not kill). But the way it is now, he is rewriting the Bible by telling his converts, thy shall kill Muslims. God's commandments no longer matter when fake pastors come to town. Sending their converts to killing spree at their personal say-so is sinful in religious realm as it is criminal in real world. President Buhari's government should simply invite pastor Suleiman for

Suleiman's claim that David killed Goliath therefore his followers have God's mandate to kill herdsmen is populism and barbarism. Intentional killing has never been trendy or fantastic any time. We are in an enlightened age of the 21 century where law and order have taken over the places of whim and primitivism.

Religion plus ethnic supremacy are hotcakes in Nigeria. We should be very careful with such issues. They spread and burn very quickly like wildfire. The danger here is that there are many churchmen who are actually very ready to kill if their pastors say so. The 1978 Christian mass-suicide in Guyana should be an eye-opener for all Christians and non-Christians alike. No follower should lend themselves to be used and misused to commit human atrocities such as killing of others in Nigeria.

True. President Buhari cannot exonerate himself from the mathematically calculated killing of Christians by some Muslims and their herdsmen brothers. But nonetheless, Christian clerics should back off from arousing their followers to kill fellow

    Boko Haram Analysis

    Islamic extremist terrorism shows how the misconstrued Quran can be used as a tool for violence. There are terrorist groups they have misconstrued religious ideals to justify terrorist actions Boko Haram is only one example of this. Boko Haram is the embodiment of the lack of education and the cycle of violence all manifesting in a single body. By lack of education I mean the misinterpretation of what is supposed to be good religious ideals, but instead use those ideals of violence. An obvious example of this would be taking a religion class at USD which in class we are taught how to interpret Catholicism and the Bible as a means for good. Without this basic education of the Bible, it can be constructed as a tool for violence instead simply by taking a literal translation of the Bible, namely the Old Testament, which can be used to justify murder to an uneducated person that is easily impressionable as well as accustomed to…

    Just as we formerly pointed out that "hatred and violence have no sanction in our religious and political traditions," we also point out that such actions as incite to hatred and violence, however technically peaceful those actions may be, have not contributed to the resolution of our local problems.

    The first group of Igbo society which needs to be discussed are the ones who were very much opposed to the intrusion of Christian missionaries into their lives. The main people who were opposed to the missionaries were the leaders of Igbo society; these people being the priests, the elders, and the men of high title in each village. These different groups’ reasons were all valid and varied from one group to the next. The priests oppose the Christian missionaries for an obvious reason, because their religious beliefs are in stark contradiction to the beliefs espoused by the priests and believed by the Igbo people. The missionaries are attempting to convert the Igbo people to Christianity and therefore away from the animistic religion that these priests represent. On multiple occasions people who have been converted by these missionaries directly assault religious symbols of the Igbo, such as when Okoli kills the royal python or when Enoch rips the mask of off one the egwugwu. The elders’ reason for not welcoming the missionary is that if their sons were to convert to Christianity then there will be no one…

    The general portrayal of the Crusades as unprovoked aggression against a peaceful and sophisticated world is a misconception; a myth. Far from being unprovoked, then, the crusades were actually the first great western Christian counterattack against Muslim attacks which had taken place continually from the inception of Islam until the eleventh century, and which continued on thereafter. Today scholars are still trying to work out the full truth and influences behind the Crusades, but the Christians at the time were not on a campaign of intolerance and malice. There was a real threat from…

    Tracy Reyes Mrs. Frane College Prep Government-Period 0 18 November 2008 Why Should WE Care About the Sudan Civil War? Barack Obama, the President-elect for 2009’s slogan was Change We Need. That slogan does not just end within US boundaries, but extends to the rest of the world. We, as Americans, have an obligation to help. Sudan, Africa’s largest country, is currently dealing with appalling issues that cannot be ignored. The Sudan Civil War, in my opinion, has the MOST impact on world affairs and international relations in the 21st century. The biggest altercation obstructing the different regions from an everlasting peace was the struggle for power. The dominant party of Muslim, wanted to spread their Islamic religion on the rest of Sudan, particularly the South. Resisting converting, the Southern Sudanese made up of about 6 million in rural areas, have had a difficult time keeping strong. The South formed the Sudan People’s Liberation Army (SPLA) receiving help from a number of various neighboring countries affected by the war (Pike). We are the most powerful nation on Earth. We have the most stake in creating an order in the world that is stable in which people have hope and opportunity and when you see a genocide, whether it is in Rwanda, or Bosnia, or in Darfur, that’s a stain on all of us. That’s a stain on our souls… As president of the United States, I don’t intend to abandon people of turn a blind eye to slaughter (Obama). The Sudan Civil War has been a major influence on foreign affairs. Currently, the United States is supporting the Sudan elections for government in 2009. The US believes that holding a “credible, peaceful, nationwide election” is a way to “achieve a democratic transformation in Sudan” (Sudan). The millions of people that have died based of a struggle for power through religion cannot be overlooked. We can never allow the effects of war dominate. We must create a foreign policy to aid those victims in Sudan being oppressed.…

    Next, Dr. Charles Kimball takes a comparative look between various cults and religions in his first book, When Religion Becomes Evil, to describe five key facets of religion that tend to produce violence (2008). One of those aspects is when a religion makes absolute truth claims. He particularly looks at modern Islamic terrorists. For example, Osama Bin Laden and his religious extremist group, al-Qaeda, take a narrow view of their religion and use it to justify horrendous violence. They believe that they will be going to heaven, and everyone else will go to hell for being wrong. This kind of “us versus them” mentality can lead down a slippery slope of violence.…

    Religion is what ruled the people of Iraq, but now with the removal of Saddam Hussein, the hurdle to overcome is to create a government where all citizens can enjoy the same freedom of other democratic countries. Since religion is so strong in this country, the history associated with religion needs to be carefully compared to democracy to see whether democracy can stand strong in Iraq. The values of democracy are human rights and liberties and government representatives chosen by the people. It seems after the removal of Saddam, religion has become a new way for resistance against foreign presence and Islam is once again being promoted as the way of life for…

    Christian fundamentalist and the Islam extremist needs to be stepped; their society destroying action could be prevented. Most of the time, the leaders of these radical groups have their own hidden agenda, they are uneducated ideates, or simply lunatics like Hitler driven by their own hatred.

    Murder is a touchy subject that can be very controversial depending on who the victim or victims are, and also who the predator is. Things like the relationship between a victim and predator, and the essential “reasons” behind the murder play a big part on whether or not all murder is ethical or unethical. The basic view of murder by most of the population, in any sense, is that it is morally wrong. Though there are circumstances such as revenge and suicide that bring up questions.…

    Buddhism: The death penalty is a clear form of revenge. It is a severe form of punishment because it is so final. The human life is ended and the executed person is robbed of the opportunity to change, or restore the harm done. Before supporting execution we should consider whether criminals are naturally negative and harmful people and whether they will always remain in the same state of mind in which they committed their crime or not. The answer, is definitely not. However horrible the act they have committed, it is believed that everyone has the potential to improve and correct themselves.…
