It has since been shared over 42,500 times.
In the open letter, he reminds readers that: "The people behind last night's attacks weren't Muslims, they were extremists using religion as vindication for their cowardice."

The selected quaranic texts 4 ur arguments seem at first glance, logical and in line with the tenets of civilized society. However, what do other quaranic verses say should be done to infidels/unbelievers? Keep it real with a complete and accurate support from those same scriptures, will you. Naso me see am.

@ Anonymous 12:58, thanks for sharing. Same experience as well growing up in the north. Matter of fact, the expatriates are alot safer and protected in Northern Nigeria than a fellow countryman/woman from Southern or "Christian Nigeria." Go figure. Naso me see am.

TOUCH OF RAY said...

Pls, even as much as he might, i still say might be saying the truth, my question is; what religion produces this animals? what religion creates this demons? what have the Muslim society done to reform this behaviors among its citizens? who do you worship? does he preach love and forgiveness? if yes pls tell me the part of the korean that says it. why is this religion a by force religion? i know many musilms do not read the korean or at least read it properly, just watch when the do, the evolution begins, then the birth of a beast begins. sorry to say but most muslims dont like the religion or are hypocrites. this and many more.

Islam is a peaceful religion, why don't you go and live in Saudi Arabia or any of this highly Islam practiced states, and say the same thing. Very hostile and pretentious religion . For your information, Christianity shaped this world, the peace and freedom you enjoy. But then you ignore it. Keep pretending like because some of you are peaceful means that all of you are peaceful. Too much of everything is bad, but i must tell you, there is no too much in Islamism, Islamism in itself is extreme. Some of you are giving christian extreme examples. e.g. like Israel treating their neighboring states badly, please give more examples... But who, or which set of people are causing unrest in the whole world??? Answer that. I know by the time you read your Korean well, you will be out to kill everyone who has shared there minds here. Already some of you are showing your extremism by attack people are speaking there mind now.

Islamist can not join hands with any body to solve the world problems, because the world is not clean enough to work with them. Wherever they go, they want to dominate and impose there thing, ingrate attitude. It is a religious thing clearly. Ok! who is producing this people? where are they coming from? what part exactly? who are they listening to or what are they reading? why can't they rest? why are they not using any other religious title? more questions later..

Terrirism is not an issue in our mosques..it is something our clerics debunk every time the sermons go there..most muslims know the truth and need not the imam to tell them what is clear in the Qur'an..they only remind us what we need reminder of..to uphold the pillars of faith which does not include killing and maiming or you will all be dead alrdy..it seems you guys know about Islamic injunctions better than the real muslims..

Yiwola said...

You will likely be terrorist soon since you sound blood-thirsty alrdy..jus get petrol and start burning..you dont need brainwashing or an injunction

Yiwola said...

You belong to my generation fool

Yiwola said...

When has few violent hungry ignorant almajiris who are eaily influence become a true definition of Islam. What you said is true but you pick the convenient senario..the north may be volatile, sentimental n ethnic..you define a religion by the actions of the misguided ones

Yiwola said...

So your God was killed by the Jews on a cross which amount to a curse and called the senior god not to forsake him..Do christians really use their brains..you guys can sell it if you can use it

Aboki and all muslims, when will you have the courage to tell the world the truth for just once...that even you "aboki" that we've not seen with bombs or guns are equal and the same since you must give your support to these your own extremists in one form or the other...*you can't fool the world forever so aboki kindly quote and share the relevant scriptures on your blood- letting and blood-ducking tendencies that your koran and Allah commands...

Anonymous said...

Yiwola, you're still a liar because I schooled in core Norhern(muslim) Nigeria and muslims confessed how wicked and distressing your religion or faith is to the human soul that even seeks good because you either become this *extremist terrorist" or you support with your finances for the guns and bombs to kill the so called "infidels" so ALL MUSLIMS ARE DIRECT AND INDIRECT Terrorists, Bloodsuckers just like witches and wizards who all need Repentance as well...*I take God BEG you, Yiwola and co. give your whole life to Jesus now before you see TheKind Blood you go tire for...*Logic20-01-0100 ko Log50-50 ni*

Anonymous said...

Aboki and O2, stop the generational lies already cos as a muslim if you don't carry the guns and bombs yourself, you must support the terrorists with more devilish prayers and financial support if NOT that's the ONLY condition you're not a true muslim which translates to you people's "truth" : ALL Muslims are direct or indirect world terrorists, killers etc... TRY TheTruth Jesus, aboki & co.

Anonymous said...

Anon2.44 STOP the generational lies as a muslim that you are, have you not prayed(evil prayers) for terrorists to succeed or given financial support for the procurement of the bombs and guns? ALL MUSLIMS are terrorists and terrorists' supporters openly / secretly including ********* JustTurnToJesus

KKK ko KaKaKa ni...is it kkk you can sight, just them ni... Go and locate any kkk and let them show you from Old Testament to New Testament where Jesus commanded such...see how deep the love for blood shed is for these muslims cos my bible calls any form of terrorism "those who have left the faith" BUT for islam, it's the other way round**

Anonymous said...

Anon2.08, u never lie finish na... where the rest from koran wey say " kill Jews, Zionists, Christians, followers of The Righteous One, infidels etc...so as to receive a great welcome and reward in Al-Jana or so..." Ur facts are short of the complete truth still so just Repent.

Yiwola!!! I give heavy down 👇 hand...
Ex22.20, refers to fellow Israelites and Jews or coverts to TheFaith who do otherwise amongst themselves after thorough investigations (how many can you Yiwola count that Jews or Christians carry out other than being excommunicated at the most as Christians are very careful in such matters).BUT Always the opposite for blood mongers like witches and cultists everywhere...Yiwola & co, REPENT ooo!

Yiwola said...

The point exactly..u claim verses of the Qur'an encourage violence, but you never read the whole chapter..it suits you that way right?..but when bible verses say the same thing, you bellowed read the whole chapter..who are guys..so ignorant

Yiwola said...

So you mean Moses was evil..idiot you must be

It pains me to see that at this age and time, when there are attacks of this kind, everyone blames Islam, saying all sorts, saying Muslims should be burnt and all that. What most of you don't understand is, acting in this manner, accusing and castigating innocent Muslims, doesn't make you any better than the so called "muslims" who carry out the bombings. And most of you don't have any knowledge of Islam whatsoever, cos if you understand Islam, you will know that nowhere in the Qur'an was it ever mentioned that killing and massacre of innocent people should be practiced just because they have a different belief/religion from what you think is right, you only see and believe what your eyes and mind want to see. Islam preaches peace, not war. Islam preaches good morals. Jihad doesn't mean kill innocent people. I still stand to say that, all these bombers are not to be called Muslims. They might be standing or acting under the guise of Islam but they are not Muslims. This is not what Allah has commanded. And until we all start to reason that what a man or a group of men do or believe in is not a function of that Religion they claim to represent, the world will never be a better place. What we need in the world is not to throw blames at each other, we need to pray to God for forgiveness, we need to pray for world peace. I am a Muslim and I'm proud to say it. I am a Muslim and I'm not a terrorist.
